It’s :5 Fight for Life.
BUTTE, Mon., Dec. 18,—For hours yester-
day it looked as thoughamob of determined
citizenswould march en masse out to Head-
erville and tear to. pieces the works of the
Boston and Montana company. At a mass
meeting speeches were made urging the
citizens to take matters into their own
hands and cover the burning heaps of ore,
whose sulphurous smoke had been killing
the inhabitants of Butte. One hundred and
thirty-six men went to work covering the
heaps with dirt, and work will be continued
day and night until all are covered. It is
estimated that 75,000 tons of ore are burning.
Hoey Says No Compromise.
NEW YORK, Dec. lei—John Hoey, ex-
president of the Adams Express company,
was seen by a reporter and asked if there
was any truth in the report that the matter
in dispute between himself and the officials
of the express company had been settled.
His denial was most emphatic. He said,
“Not only has no such settlement been of-
fected, but I have heard of no proposition
tending to or suggesting the possibility of
such a settlement."
A Doctor Flog-god and Inked.
VaLnosTa. Ga, Dec. 18.—Dr. Benton
Strange, a prominent physician, has for
some time aroused the indignation of the
citizens by his conduct while on drunken
sprees, and last night a mob gathered at his
residence, c: lled him out and took him away
for some distance, where they flogged him
and covered him with a coating of ink. Dr.
Strange decided that his usefulness in the
town had been brought to a close and left
the place.

Ntw YORK, Dec. 18.-—The bark Kentigern
arrived from London at this port. Her
captain, at the Maritime exchange, told a
thrilling tale of his experience off the mouth
of the Thames in one of the recent gales
which swept the English channel. He says
that while anchored at the mouth of the
river, ready to start on her voyage, a fear-
ful storm sprung up, and that during the
night a vessel anchored near broke from her
moorings and collided with the bark.
No sooner had she been installed in the
hotel, she tells Inspector Byrnes, than pri-
vate detectives began to swarm about her,
They even questioned
the cabman that drove her to the referee’s
office as to where she went and when. The
cabman told Mrs. Blaine of it.
At the same time it was discovered that a
woman guest registered in the hotel on the
same floor as she was a spy. This woman
tried in every way to induce the servants to
tell her everything they saw or heard about
Mrs. Blaine. She expressed a wish to have
her room changed, and when she heard that
Mrs. Blaine was going away she asked to be
allowed to look at her room.
Mrs. Blaine believes that her object was
to see if there was any letters lying around
loose. Mrs. Blaine went into a fit of hys-
terics when these things were made known
to her.
NEW Yonx, Dec. 18.——The remains of the

the brain, which was held for microscopic
examination, was placed in a. hermetically
e sealed box.
