her husband and children at No. 9O4
Gallatin avenue, was painfully burned

tunately engaged herself in mixing

rheumatism, and she mixed the tur-
pentine and other inflammable cheml-
Gals near the kitchen stove. AS she
was alone in the room, save for
small child, no one saw just how the
flame caught the turpentine. In an
instant her clothes were in flames.
Two children ran out into the yard
and screamed an alarm. neighbors
rushed in and threw quilts over the
burning woman and smothered the
fire, but not before the sufferers legs
and arms were badly burned. She was
in great pain and DR.. Mcdonald was
sent for. Mr.. Bennett, who works in
a mine on the hill, was also sent for.

spread to the paper lining of the
kitchen and an alarm from box 81

scene The damage to the kitchen was

Take that, and that! and that! In

These EXPLANATIONS uttered in an
cry accents in accompaniment to the
sharp swishing of a rawhide cutting
the air, attracted a crowd of people
about 5 O'Clock last evening to an un-
usual scene that was being enacted in
Academy street. The crowd that gath
cred saw the liveliest fun that has
been witnessed on a Butte street in q
long time A frail little woman armed
with a stout CAD was administering
justice to a brute, and the way she
went about ii was worth seeing. With
all the strength she could command she
welded the rawhide, literally raining
blows upon the head of a burly fell
low who covered and put his arms up
over his head to shield himself as best
he could, and meekly took his medi-
cine. And it was well he did, and did
not attempt to defend himself or re-

WAS BOUND OVER,
Guidoni, the Junk Dealer. viii BE Tried
iu the District Court.

The preliminary hearing of Pasquali
Guidoni, the Meaderville junk dealer
charged with receiving stolen property,
knowing it to have been stolen, was
concluded yesterday afternoon in JUS
tice Harrington's court resulting in the
defendant being bound over to the dis
trict court for trial.
When the hearing was resumed, Emil
Menconi was called for the defense. He
testified that he sold the copper water
column found in Guidonis warehouse
to the defendant. but denied having
stolen the property. He said he found
the pipe lying by the water tank at the
Anaconda mine mile or more from
the Leonard mine, where it was alleged
to have been stolen. He took it to
Guidoni to sell because he was out of
work. Cross eXamined, he admitted he
worked at the Leonard mine, and said
that when he sold the pipe to Guidoni
the latter did not ask him any ques-
tons as to where he got it.
In the arguments, Chief Deputy
County Attorney Kelley. who prosecut-
ed the case, laid much stress on the i'm
probability that water pipe that was
not used by any mine but the Leonard
should be found a mile away, and said
the fact that the company operating
the mine where the pipe was used had
never sold or disposed of any of it, was
pretty conclusive tNlutHCe, DIS ne re-
garded it, that the pipe was stolen, and
if this We're true, that it was pretty
likely Guidoni, as a close friend of
Menconi, had a knowledge of the fact.
Judge Wines, for the defense. elab-
grated on what he regarded as the in
sufficiency of the evidence of the state,
and in closing said he hoped justice
would be done, and that the defendant
would not be held simply because of his
nationality.
Judge Harrington commented some
what sarcastically on Judge Wines ref
erence, saying he thought the intima-
ton that he might be Influenced by any
feelings with regard to a defendants
nationality was unwarranted. He be-
lieved he would be doing justice if he
bound the defendant over. His order
was to that effect, and Guidonfs bonds
were placed at $500.

BITS OF GOSSIP.

More than thirty years ago, when
young Felix Faure was still an indus
trious apprentice, with taste in his
leisure hours for harmless bohemian
ism, one of his journalistic acquaint-
ances introduced him to Adolphe d'En-
merry with this recommendation, "a
very good fellow, but he won't make a

A young royal priest, Prince Max OF
Saxony. Is still suffering from a severe
attack of gastric fever, which has left
him in such an unsatisfactory state OF
health that 1t Is at present quite i'm
possible for him to re-enter on his
priestly duties, especially as when he
does so he will probably undertake the
care of one Of the poorest parishes in
Nuremberg.
In Germany the dressing gown is a
favorite article of apparel among both
men and women in the mornings and
evenings when they happen to be alone
but to those not used to such ways it
seems a bad habit. The German en-
peror is strongly opposed to this GUS
tom, which he considers both untidy
and a sign Of sloth. His majesty has
never possessed dressing gown, and.
what is more, the old Emperor Will
helm never, even in his old age, wore
one. for when not in bed he received
his guests properly dressed.

WASHINGTON, March 25,-The fol-
lowing order has been issued at the
war department.;
The following decision has been
made and is published for the infor-
nation and guidance of all concerned:
War Department, Washington,
March 90, 1899: Ordered-That here
after no chief or acting chief OF staff
corps shall be detailed or ordered to
any duty by any authority without
the approval of the secretary OF war.
r. A. ALGER, Secretary of War.
BY command of Major General Miles.
H. G. CoRBrN, Adjutant General.
This order of Secretary Alger has
been issued to set at rest all questions
as to who is the supreme authority in
the war department. 1t is an old con-
troversy, dating back to the time
when jefferson Davis was secretary of
war and General Scott commanding
general of the army. The last time
the matter was brought prominently
to the attention of the country was
during the administration of President
Arthur, when Secretary Lincoln wrote
a very caustic letter to Lieutenant
General Sheridan stating that the staff
corps of the war department, with the
exception of the adjutant generals and
the inspector generals corps, were
under the direct control and subject
only to orders by the secretary of
war. The order of Secretary Alger
will hereafter include the chiefs of
these corps under the sole control of
the secretary. General Miles has held
to the construction based upon the
letter of Secretary Lincoln. The cause
for the issuance of the order was re-
cent order of General Miles to Lieu
tenant Colonel Darlington, acting
chief of the inspector generals corps,
during the absence of General Brock
inridge, directing Darlington to visit
certain points in the West on an in
spection tour. The order of the sec
rotary did not refer to General Breck-
inridge's present duty in Cuba, as he
is acting under orders issued by Sec
rotary Alger.

Don't Recognlze Our Stamps.

SAN FRANCISCO, March %. The fire.
uuent failure of letters from the
United States to reach the Klondike
is largely du, to the fact that the
contractors who bargained to carry
the postal matter from Skaguay to
Dawson refuse to handle any mail
which does not bear the Canadian
postage. 1t is alleged that mail mat
ter from the United States is thrown
aside when it leaves the steamer, and
at the present time it is said that
about twenty tons of mail matter
bearing American stamps is piled uI
in heaps at Skaguay.

Moore of Hutchinson, who, it is
charged, killed his children with u
Ratchet Sunday night, and set fire to
his home, has made signed state
ment on the subject. The statement
is attested by notary, A summary
of the statement follows:

Moore continues: II had been feel
ing pretty bad for two or three days.
1 got supper for the children and we
all ate together. 1 felt pretty blue
and discouraged, and the children
were all in bed when l came back, and
were asleep. They were all five on the
floor in the one bed. When / came in
l turned the lamp down and went to
bed. l then had one of my worst spells
and my hand hurt me awfully and
everything seemed floating before me
and the next thing l remembered
after this was in trying to get out of
the house myself. The whole thing
seemed to be an awful nightmare to
me- 1 didn't talk any to the children.
l do not recollect anything about the
hatchet or the knife. If l done
that 1 don't have any recollec-
ton of it. told my wife
that was going to leave and it
looked that l had to leave and she
told me to leave and l could not bear
to leave my children and leave them
with that family. l could not bear to
think of leaving them to live like the
Franklin children. My 12-year-old
boy could read and write and could
figure pretty well.
told my wife that all l wanted to
live for was to see what my children
would come to, and these things kind
of drove me to despair and when l
came in and these things looked so
black to me l seemed to lose my
reason l have no recollection after
this of killing the children. 1 then
