LONDON PRESS on ANARCHY
Anarchist Kelly's Speech Denouncing
President Mckinley Arouses the
English Newspapers.

London, Oct. THE speech OIL. II.
Kelly, of New York, at the anarchist
meeting held yesterday in the Tottenham
Court road, London Gin which he de-
nounced the late PRESIDENT McNinley's
political career), has led to a revival of
the demand for the eXtirration of an
archiSts.
The Pail Mall Gazette this afternoon
compares anarchsm with fenianism.
and maintains that the only difference
of sentiment of anarchists and the war
OF outrage advocated by such men as
former Congressman Finerty. is merely
one of divers means to the same end and
urges that the police Of the two Anglo
Saxon nations be empowered to take con-
ce,ted action to hunt down the social
enemy whether anarchists or fenians.
and that both governments refuse them
the right Of asylum.
By coincidence. the Times this morn
ing prints a long article from Washing
ton, protesting against the license al
lowed the Irish in America in plotting
against Great Britain.
Commenting upon this. the st. James
Gazette thinks British hands are not al
together clean and that no law will be
strained if foreigners whose cult Is MUIR
der receive immediate notice to quit.

PENNSYLVANIA
BON D CASE
DELAWARE SURETY C0MPANY'S
WORTHLESS BOND WAS NOT
CONTRIBUTIONS.
ATTORNEY GENERAL SAYS II
ACTED IN GOOD FAITH BUT ON
WICKED LAWYERS ADVICE.
Especial to Inter MountainO

Helena, Oct ..--.Attorney General
James Donovan. who was directed to in
quire into the responsibility OF the Della
ware Surety company with IA View to
bringing contempt proceedings against
it in the event it was found that it was
organized merely to give straw bond
in the famous Pennsylvania case. filed
his report with the supreme court to-
day.
No action has been taken on the re-
port.
The attorney general made a trip 10
New York during the summer. when he
inquired into the financial responsibility
Of the surety company. 1t was this
company that offered to furnish the BOND
required of the Montana Ore Purcha sing
company in the Pennsylvania case. The
attorney general says that in his opinion
the company was bona tide and organ
lied in good faith. He declares that as
far as he can learn its failure TO justify
was due to the advice Of its New York
counsel. and that being the case. it could
not be held to have been guilty of con-
tempt of court.
On the other hand. he says the surety
company ought to be required to pay the
expense of the investigation.
Concluding his report, the attorney
general says:
The fact that the surety company re-
fused to justify upon the advice of emf
nent counsel would not be of itself a
contempt of court, but. as stated before,
il that refusal was based on the fact
that they could not justify without dis
closing the fact that they were without
financial responsibility in the amount of
the bond tendered-in that case they
would be guilty of contempt. But in this
case having refused to Justify on advice
Of counsel, whether that advice was
sound in law or not, and then coming
into court Immediately thereafter and
rendering the court the full amount Of
the bond in cash and depositing the
same to the order of the court, would
indicate that they are financially respon-
sble to the full amount of the bond, and
that their failure to justify under these
circumstances would be Of no conse-
quence, for the only purpose of justifica-
ton is to determine whether or not they
We're financially responsible for the
amount for which they gave the bond.
"From a careful inspection of the
record and from all the information I
have been able to gather in my research
in this matter I cannot say that the
Delaware Surety company was guilty Of
contempt of the supreme court of Mon
tana.
Having failed to justify under the
order of the supreme court and having
put the court to the trouble Of ordering
the transcript and reference to this
matter, it occurs to me that the Della
ware Surety company should be COM
PEELED to pay the cost of this investiga>

II have always liked the Inter Noun
tain better than any paper in Butte"
said Miss Courtney today at the Linz
coin school building. I really don't
know how won the prize" she modestly
continued. Some friends of mine enter
ed my name in the list of contestants,
and then others came forward with OF
ferS OF assistance. I think it Is very
kind of them indeed. and I think the
Inter Mountain is the most enterprising
paper l have ever heard of to make
this contest possible. What delights me
especially is the good natured manner
in which the contest proceeded. Every
body was 50 very nice and pleasant that
it was not at all like being rival OF
anyone. l enjoy the prize especially be-
cause it came from the Inter Mountain.
I read the paper every evening, and
think it is a paper that prints the news
in newsy way. I. Of course, never sup
posed it's enterprise would ever extend
in my direction. but I am very grateful
for it's generosity just the same"
Miss Courtney is a merry going lady.
and her laughing prediction that the box
party formed for this evenings perform
lance of "The Henrietta" will be happy
one is a prediction that may be easily
believed. The six young ladies in the
party will be dressed in white, and will
sit in the lower right hand box at the
New Grand. The names Of those who
will accompany Miss Courtney to the
play this evening are as follows: Miss
Eva Strasburger. Miss Barbara Healy
Miss Florence DriScoll. Miss Seymore
and Miss Madge Courtney. They are
all friends of mine, who We're interested
in my success said Miss Courtney. 81
only wish the box We're large enough tc
enable me to invite all my friends to see

DEATH CLAIMS A MINING MAN
G. S. Batterman Passed Away at Muir
ray & Freund's Hospital at 3
O'clock Today.

Christopher S. Batterman, superin-
tendent of mines for the Boston & Mon
tana Mining company. died at Murray
& Freund's hospital about o'clock this
afternoon, his death being the result of
an abdominal abscess.
Mr. Batterman had been aillng sew
eral weeks, but at first his trouble was
not considered serious. About month
ago he went to Nevada to look after
some mining interests he had there and
after his return he complained of feel
ing unweu Subsequently he made sew
eral horseback trips to his ranch in the
country a few miles from Butte and on
each occasion noticed a dull pain in his
abdomen. The pain increased With each
succeeding trip and he was finally COM
PEELED to forego them altogether. A
week ago today Drs. Murray and
Freund diagnosed his case and found
that a large abScess had formed and
that an operation would be necessary
The operation was performed yesterday,
but the system had already absorbed
some Of the poison from the abscess.

About noon today he began to sink rap
idly and at the hour stated breathed ms
last in the presence of his wife, who had
been notified of his serious condition as
soon as the sinking spell began.
Mr.. Batterman had been with the
Boston & Montana company about four
years and half. Prior to his 2ssoela-
ton with that company he had been in
the employ of the Montana Ore Pur-
chasing company a year or two. He
came to Butte from Colorado, where he
had been with some large mining COM
panieS.
BY profession Mr.. Batterman was 4
mining engineer and was thoroughly
conversant with all the details of the
business. He was about 4o years old,
and in addition to 4 wife and several
children. leaves a large circle of staunch
friends to morun his demise.

ULTIMATUM EXPIRES TOMORROW
Believed That the Abductors Of Miss
Stone Will Grant Short Extension
Of Time.
(By Associated Press.)

(By Associated PreSS.)
Washington. Oct. 1T is not probable
that the kidnapers OF Miss stone will
enforce their u.timatum tomorrow, al
though that was the date named as
last day of grace in her case. The dan
ger IS by 10 means avertcd. however.
and the most that can he said now il
that there Is a likelihood Ut securing
short ex."n,on by the S:gards OF the
time allowed for the payment of the
ransom.
The state department Is bus ylng itself
earnestly in this direction, evidently act
ing under the belief that Of course the
people Of the United states will make
up the fund necessary to secure Miss
Stones release. Mr.. Adee, acting sec
rotary of state, was again at the white
house today in consultation with the
president, touching Miss stones case,
and it is believed that negotiations are
in progress directly with her captors
Meanwhile the white house and the state
department are being flooded by letters
and kilograms imploring the officials to
save Miss Stone.

MRS. WILMER SUSPECTED OF
FOURTEEN MURDERS.
FlENDlsH RECORD OF CRIME
A Modern Borgia Alleged to Have
Poisoned Four Husbands, Sister,
Five Children and Several
Employers.
(By Associated Press }

Dayton, O., Oct. Mrs. ]. A. Wilmer,
a widow, residing in this city, mas oeeh
arrested by the police at the 1nstigation
of the coroner and is held prisoner at
Central Station pending an investisa-
ton into very serious charges.
Mrs. Wilmer, the police say, is sus-
nected of fourteen murders. the list in
Guiding four husbands. five children,
sister and members Of different families
in which she was employed as mousse
keeper.
TIL last supposed victim was her sister,
Mrs. Anna Pugh, who died a week ago
under mysterious circumstances. An
autopsy performed at the request OF
Mrs. winners mother, who came here
from Detroit. is said to have disclosed
the presence OF arsenic ana copperas
poisoning in the stomach.
Following closely upon the death OF
her first husband, Fred Schweger, came,
according to police department data, the
death Of two children. The second hus-
band died several years after the mar
rage and three children of this maj
died in quick succession. The last huS-
band, ]. B. Wilmer, died last April. In
each instance death was somewhat sud-
den and were strangely alike.
The prisoner is Al years of age and
formerly lived in Middletown. this state
She has two sons in the Philippines and
sister, it is stated, in New York
asylum. No conceivable motive for the
suspected crimes has been disclosed.
Drugs, which We're found in the house
occupied by Mrs. Wilmer, are In posses
sion Of the police and will be examined
The third husband of Mrs. Wilmer was
William Stowe, who died at Middletown
under syrf<soms, it is stated, of arsenic
poisoning. Mr. Stoves death at that
time created a sensation and was the
subject of an investigation by the coro'
ner. 1t was shortly after Mr.. Stoves
death that Mrs. Wilmer came to Day

ties of housekeeper for Charles K. Kel'

HAS ODD FEATURES
DIVORCE SUIT OF VIII. COLLINS
AGAINST MARGARET COLLINS.
AMENDED ANSWER is FILED
Collins Alleges That He Was Deserted
in 1S61-Mrs. Collins Says He
Supported Her For Years
Afterward.

There is another phase Of the Collins
divorce case before the district court.
Mrs. Margaret Collins, the defendant in
the case, has filed an amended answer
and complaint to the complaint of
her husband, William Collins, who
brought the suit. Collins sued for di-
vorce about two years ago. and the suit
is still awaiting final adjudication.
The case has some special points. The
couple We're married at Virginia, New.
in June, 1886. Thereafter there was trou-
BILE between them and they dwelt apart
for years. Collins came to Butte several
years ago, and two years ago the de-
PENDANT also became a resident here.
The divorce suit was begun about the
time of this latter event.
AS a result of the primary proceedings.
by an order Of the court Collins was
commanded to pay alimony of $50
month to his wife. He refused and was
sent to Jail. Then he paid $50 and was
released. In his complaint he alleged
that the defendant deserted him in 1887
one year after the marriage took place
In her amended complaint Mrs. Collins
denies that she deserted Collins in 1887
without sufficient cause or against his
wishes" or took up her residence sep
arate and apart from him without cause
or that she has continued to live apar'
from him since that time without cause
She denies that she ever deserted Collins
at all without Just cause"
In her cross complaint she makes the
surprising allegation that while Collin:
declares that she deserted him in 1887
he supported her until August, 1896, fol
a period Of nearly 10 years after the al
legged desertion. She adds, however
| that since that time he has failed to pro
| vide her with the necessaries Of life, al
though able bodied and earning at leas
| $50 a month.
