ON A TOUR OF INSPECTION Northern Pasflo District Freight Agent Visits Butte - Another Cut - Off Project on the Union Pacific. Railroad Gossip. J. E. Leibe, freight clerk in the office of the Northern Pacific, will leave to day for New York for the purpise of Interestingeastern express companies in a safety envelope which he and a young man named Merritt, the latter now traveling agent for the Northern Pacific in Minnesota and North Da kota, invented some years ago and which has 'since been patented. The envelope has been used by the Great Northern Express company for a num ber of years and Mr. Leibe has just received word from the Northern Pa cific company that it would also begin the use of the envelope and pay him a royalty for it. The Great Northern has never paid anything for the use of the envelope, it having been given that company for the purpose of in troducing it. The envelope is used for the transmission of.money sent by ex press and is so constructed that it is impossible to remove any portion of the contents without detection. Robert Rantoul, retiring district freight agent of the Northern Pacific. accompanied by Henry IBlakely. his successor and formerly chief clerk of J. M. Haunaford, third vice president, arrived in Butte yesterday from St. Paul. They are malting a tour over the road in Mr. Rantoul's territory for the purpose of familiarizing the new agent with the business and introducing him to other officials. Mr. Rantoul will go with the Montana Railway company on the first of the year. A, special dispatch from Cheyenne says: "The Union Pacific is consid ering another big cut-off project, and one which, if constructed, will shorten the main line of the road s'veral miles and also do away with one of the steepest hills between Omaha and Og den. A corps of surveyors, in charge of Engineer Sawyer, is now in the field east of Cheyenne running lines west of Atkins. 15 miles cast of here. and enter the city from the n,srth'anlt, Instead of from the east, as at pres ent. Sawyer has instructions to makh the line a 'straight shoot' and with easy grades. "Archer hill. which has always been a very expensive piece of track, ow ing to its heavy grades, which neces eitsted helpers on all trains or the frolghts 'doubling' to get over the hill, will be avoided. Work ona this cut-off will probably be begun in the spring." The Northern Pacific has decided to open a general branch office at Van couver. B. C.. and official announcement has been made of the apopintment of J. O. McMullen as general agent at that place. He will have direct charge of freight and passenger matters and. look after the inter'ests of the toad in British Columbia.. He-has been'con nected with the Northern Pacific for 18 years and for some time past he acted as traveling freight agent of the western division. It is understood that the Northern Pacific will inaigutrate its double ser vice to the coast about March 1. Ssc:ne weeks ago the order was placed for the extra equipment, including large new passenger engines. The orders will be ready for delivery late in January. The new trains will be made up of 16 sec tion sleepers, buffet and observation and library cars and comfortable day, coaches.-Minneapolis Times. W. H.

Residence of Mrs. Hesley Suffers From a Hot iRlaze. The Mahoney street residence of Mrs. Margaret Hesley, wife of John Hesley, who was recently sent to the peniten tiary for six months for the murder of John C(urrie, was clean.ed out by fire last evening. The house is a littit two story affair, with one room on each floor. Mrs. Hesley was away at the 'time and James Keating. who has made the place his hcadquarters since Hesley went to jail, was the only per son in the house. He stated to Fire Chief Sanger that he built up a hri fire and that a blanket hanging behind the stove caught fire, setting fire to the house. As he was very drunk, Chief Sanger is of the opinion he fell against the stove and knocked it over. An alarm was turned in from box 121 at 6:30, and by the time the depart ment reached the scene the whole In terlor was in flames. While the house was gutted, the loss is very small, as the contents were of very little value. There was one fatality. A big New foundland dog was on the upper floor, and the fire burned so fiercely that the starway was enveloped In flames before he could be rescued.

NOT A SALVATIONIST, Jacob Bush Has No Connection With Genera.l Booth's Army. Jacob Bush, who was reported among the list of smallpox patients as a mem ber of the Salvation army, is not con nected in any way with the army nor has he ever been associated with it in this city. He represented himself to be a general of the Volunteers of America, an organization which has no meeting house here, and as far as known Mr. Bush is the only member of the Volun teers in the city. Adjutant .=ale of the Salvation army, the officer in charge of the barracks in this city, stated yesterday that Bush had done the army considerable harm by representing to th4 people that he was authorized to collect money for the cause of humanity and Christianity. "Now. while he may not have repre sented that he was directly connected with the Salvation army." said the ad jutant, "still his method of solici:ing as well as his dress, led some to believe that he was collecting for thte Salvation army. lie has never hben associated with our army, and as far as I can learn he never was associated with the army in any city."

"Captain swift" Delights a Large Audi elne at the trand. The Neill company gave anoth'er splendid performance at the Grand opera house last night. The play- was that thrilling drama, "Captain Swift," In which Mr. Neill played the title role with distinction. His portraiture of the character of the gentleman and highwayman was one of the best pieces of work he has yet dope during the Butte engagement, and that it was ap preciated was evidenced by the cur ltain calls he received. His support, of course, was good. Specially worthy of not was the earnest work of George Bloomquist. Edythe Chapman. Julia Dean, Robert Morris and John W. Bur ton had congenial parts, and played them well. For the matinee this afternoon, "A Bachelor's Romance" will be given, and for the final performance to-night, "Lady Windermere's Fan." Reward.

MAHONEY GETS THE LIMIT A Degener teoWho Acts Improperly To ward Little Girls, Feel the Smart of the JAdiclal Lash-Other Sen tences Imposed. Yesterdati was a poor day for offenders against thl city statutes who were re quired to answer for their offenses in the police fourt. Judge Sullivan was In. a corrective humor and he meted out a quality of justice which, while it was strictly in accordance with the merits of the casws, made about a dozen evil doers wish they had struck him in a little more placable mood. The principal case on the docket was that of Till Mahoney, who was arrested for imprope r behavior toward little girls. Mahoney had been arrrested several times before for the same offense and had as m;any times escaped with light punishment. When he stood up before Judge Sullvan yesterday and, as usual, pleaded guilty to the charge. Judge Sulli van peered over the rims of his glasses at him wi.h an expression on his face which told Very plainly what was coming, and Mahoney winced. "I cannotl find language to express my contempt for menll like you," said the court. "You have come tcefore this court sevccal times inl the past on the same charge, and, I am sorry to say, have not Ieen punished as you deserved. This time I propose to punlih you to the full extent of my power. and I can assure. you I am sorry my power is so limited. I shall sentlncec you to serve six months in the cotuty jail." Mahoney hung his head as though he were really capable of feeling shoame, and dropped into a seat without a word. When Mahoney was last .up on this eharge he was fined $lt0. which meant for him 50 days in jail, if the sentence had been 'nforced, hut, after a fashion they have at the city jail of letting of fenders down easy if they get a heavy sentence, lie was let out after he had served a few days. This time Judge Stl livan concluded to put him where the same leniency would not be practiced to ward him. Mahoney hangs around South Butte and practises his fiendish tricks and the parents of that section have become greatly incnnsed at his conduct. The feel ing had be ome so intense that word was sent to the police that if Mahnney was turned loose this time he would be shot. Another old offender whh was made to feel the wrath of the court was Pat Har rington, who had been b.fore the court a great many times of late for being drunk. "I am getting tired of seeing you here every. day or two for drunkenness.'" said Judg1h Sullivan when Harrington pleaded guilty, "and I am going to teams you a leseon. I shall fine you $30." Pat went down stairs to serve it out. Next camne a couple of'young fellows who were charged with in'terfering with an officer in the dscrhardjt of his duty. They were "Rilly" Hughes and Bert Me Fry. Last Monday morning Officer Mc Donald went Into the 4oritana concert hall., in Sonth Main str. f, to arrest a couple of non who were-fi.hting. Hughes and Mtiery, interfered to prevent the offi cer from 'naking the arrest, and in the squabble which ensued,; 'took his club away from him. DUring tliod himpus some one fired a shot and there were 50 or more people engaged In the scrimmage be fore it was over. Officer McDonald would probably have been' roughly hand led if oth.r officers had pnt come to his assistance. The young men were con victed ansj the cou rt. after reading them a severe lecture, lined each $25. Then it bame the turn of the vags. The police hatl rounded tip a- big hunch of them and as it was mdti. clear to the court that they were an element that It is unsafe to have at large in the commu nity doing nothing, the judge found them all guilty - red Neuril, Chester Donn. Charles Carty, Henry Metburn, John Shea. James Stanley and William Ander son were all given 30 days'n the county Jail. W. J. James was the only one to rs cape. Hr promised to get out of town and was given the opportunity.
