The press of hungry travelers for accom modations in Butta does not destroy the hotel men's rest as much as formerly. Tbare are more regular nightly conveyances between this place and Silver Bow Junction, aud con stantly increasing numbers of houses iu the city at which food and lodging may be ob tained. Mr. IL T.

SUDDEN DEATH. Judge Janies G. Spratt Passes Away. Fuli of years and honors, yet still in the prime of his genial aud kindly nature, Judge James G. Spratt died last night about a quar ter before ton o'clock at his rooms on West Park street, in this city. About half-past nine o'clock, Mr. Joseph Harper, whose office is next door to the Judge's rooms, heard him breathing heavily, and on going in found him in an insensible condition lying on his bed. The side of his forehead waa cut slightly, as it is supposed that the Judge was seized with a sudden attack of apoplexy and fell against bis lamp, which was found broken on the floor. Judge Spratt waa 00 years of age. His wife and daughter died a good mauy year» ago, but he has two married sons living in Missouri. He has been in the Territory about twenty years, and has resided in Butte and practised law in partnership with Mr. G. W. Stapleton since January 21, 1870. Kaspected and esteemed by all with whom he came in contact, endeared to his friends by hie youthful aisposition and warm-hearted kindness, he lias gone, it is hoped and be lieved without a pang, to join the silent ma jority.

At five o'clock yesterday afternoon a young woman In this city died from an overdoee of morphine. Behind this plain statement of fact* lurks a romance, woven of man's cruel ty and woman's shame, In which the despair of a heart-broken girl finally diives her to de stroy a life which had ceased to be,other then a continual agony. At a well-known house on Park street an inquest was held last night, and a verdict returned of death from an over dose of morphine. Dr. '1 hompson, the Cor oner, summoned the following jurymen: J. C. Baker, B. McGinley, John O'Mea'a, E. McLaughlin, J. J. Cable and Walter Eddy. The language of such a verdict is mysteri ously suggestive ot many possibilities of good or evil, but as regards Inez Maybert, it is known with reasonable certainty that her rash act was caused by the «corn of a man she loved. As she lay yesterday aflernoon in an almost dyi ng condition she called con tinually on the name of a man about town who was at, one time her friend, but who, It. is said, had maltreated her of late. Word was sent to him, but he is said to have answered with an angry oath. After death an ounce bottle of morphine, nearly empty, and a note were found on the body. The note was ad dressed to Gussie—a friend with whom Inez had passed her last night, and was in sub stance as follows: To Gussie—I want you to do as you always said you would— bury me all in black. Tell -(the man) he may thauk himself for this. If there is any such thing as haunting I will haunt him to his death-bed. Inez, Tbe facts are that the deceased had linen drinking heavily for some days, and attempt ed to kill herself, with morphine, but was prevented by several of her male '„friends, lu whose cabin slio was at the time. Tbe en suing night she spent with her friend Gussie, whose testimony threw much light ou the matter. About nine o'clock yesterday morn ing Inez arose, and instead of going to tier own room, as she said she intended doing— sent a Chinaman uptown for laudanum It is supposed that she took the laudanum about eleven o'clock. About two o'clock her friend Gussie feund her lying on a sofa, in a helpless condition, and breathing very heavily. Gussie supposed her drunk, and did not become alarmed until about three o'clock when a physicau wassent for, hut it was too late. After havmg called for a man already alluded to, as long as she could speak she became insensible and died about five p, in. What could be truer or more appropiate in such a case than the pathetic lines of Hood written on the death ol a London Magda len, bieathing as they do desperate misery and wild longing for something different—if no better. As of her, it may be said of Inez, "In she plunged boldly, No matter how coldly The dark rivsr ran." The Pulverizer. Impressed with the efficiency and prosper ity of the pulverizer, a gentleman who has been in Butte for some time, and who is thorongbly acquainted with nuniDg and mill ing operations on ths Pacific Coast, has ac cepted the agency in Butte fer W. U. How land. As it is probable that several at least of these cheap bat effective mills will be or dered in the near future, may as well be known that Professor Webster, at the St, Nicholas Hetel, is authorized to supply all orders. Tbe practicability of superseding stamps with a rotary pulverizer is not ques tioned by scientific men. In regard to an other patent of tbe pulverizer, the Mining and Scientific Près» of Nov. 5th says: "It lias been admitted by many mining engineers that the rotary mill was superior to the old system of stamp mills, if a suitable machine could only be constructed for securing all tha advantages of the rotary principle; and numerous Inventors have been endeavoring during the past tew years to devise the best adapted and most appropriate construction aud arrangement for this purpose. In a mea sure several of them have succeeded, but none of them have been sufficiently perfsetto take the place of the stamps under all circum stances until tbe mill shown upon this page came to the front, and tills, the inventors claim, will fulfill all the conditions." The Montana Stock Board. Until a suitable room can be secuied as an office the Montana Stock Board will not be gin operations in Butte. Negotiations are going on for a large and convenient room in the second floor of Clark's new bank build ing, but nothing definite can be said in regard to this matter until that building shall be nearer completion. The County Jail. Under the care of Mr. Walter Eddy the County Jail is being managed in a most ef ficient manner. For some time past the j nightly inmates have numbered from twenty I to twenty-five, and scarcely a day goes by j without this number receiving accessions, i The prisent accommodations are, however, [ ton small eniireiv, and it is to hi hoped that j the new building contracted for by t he Coun i ly Commissioners will be hurried along as fast as is consistent with durability. Shooting' at Eagle Rock. About eleven o'clock last Sunday night two men. named Warfield aud Riley, got into a row at Eagle Rock, Idaho, which ended iu the former shooting the latter through the head with a pistol. Riley is from Omaha, and is a painter by trade, lt is not thought that his wound is serious, as the ball aulered to the right of the nose and glancing around the skull, came out, at the ha k of the right ear. was aud cry er de the his llie the a the ta, ed WEDDING- IN HIGH LIFE. Misa Tow Kum Eapousss Jim Jam Honar. At an early hour yesterday morning an un wonted air of festivity was noticed in the unus ually grave Police Court, and it soon became evident tbat something of special slguificanre was about to take place. Wreaths of delicate - lmed flowers and exquisitely scented boquets might have been • sen ou the massive desks aud raitings, and around the sombre walls which usually echo only to the despairing cry "1 am guilty"—as some miserable offend er is about to be hurried away to the Hotel de Bastille. The bright sunlight came ill at the windows, and the Judge sat behind the railing clothed in the majesty of the law aud his Sunday suit. As the wedding procession filed in the front door, the ditsant sound of llie tom-tom and the low musical gurgle of the gum-gum seemed a fit accompaniment. The bride was clad in blue corded satin Dows ers, the folds of which allowed a peep at the delicate foot and embroidered stocking which emerged above a dainty silk sandal. The groom was most adorned by his manly beau ty—set off considerably however by a maroon satin tunic aud resplendent Dowsers which were only surpassed in splendor by those of the bride. As they stood—blushing a deep chocolate—before the august tribuual, the interpreter having been first duly sworn, reared his massive proportions between them and commenced chewing the bride's ear iu a mysterious manner. The soieom formula of the marriage service was translated into ti.e musical tongue of the Flowery KiDgdoin--iu which it sounded like yum yum, ta da ta da ta, la da da da, yum yum,—the twain were pronounced one flesh, and the bride was kiss ed by the groom—and the officiating magis trate. Seveial times during the ceiemany the bride gave way to the bubbling merriment which seemed to fill lier soul. She is the her oine of the hatchet ti agedy last week, and is now the properly of her purchaser ty the laws of the United Slates as well as those of the Celestial Kingdom. A ner, of was felt tlie top not get the ly SCHOOL HOUSE QUESTION. Meeting of the Committee Yester day. Messrs. James H. Harper, Daniel Dwyer, R. C. Knox and W. C. Lining ton, members of the committee to whom the trustees of school district No. 1 , have referred the consideration of the present condition of the new school building, met yesterday morning with Mr. Buck. As already mentioned thJtrustees have concluded to abide absolutely by the re port of these gentlemen,in whose judg ment they have perfect confidence. Mr. Julian Smith, who signed the for. mer report, was unable to be present at the meeting yesterday. A proposi tion submitted by Mr. R. C. Knox in regard to the best means of remedying the present unfortunate state of affairs, seems to have met with favorable con sideration from those present. It was to the effect that buttresses of stone could be built within and without the present defective walla, which would support the brick work while the con demned stone work could lie replaced. Iu the meantime the carpenters would be thus enabled to go ahead and finish the interior of the building. The but tresses were to be sunk some six or eight feet, to a firm foundation, and were to be built up to those portions of the wall between and on each side of the window*. Their dimensions were to be—on the outside 36 inches thick at the base and 10 inches at the top, and on the inside 12 inches all the way up, breadth inside and outside 30 incites. The thickness of the base of the sup porting stone wall would thus be in creased to six feet. Of course this plan would require some time, but it is thought to be more feasible than any other suggested so far, as it is doubtful if a sufficient number of jaek-screws could be found in the country to render practicable the entire removal of the stone work. The Opium Question. It is not to be supposed for a moment, that opium smoking has entirely ceased in Butte for tb* reason that arrests liavs been lest fre qnsnt daring tbe past week. Three prison sis are now in the county jail awaiting the next session of the Grand Jury, to which they were bound over by Judge O'Meara last Saturday night. They were arrested at Mel rose bv Deputy Sheriff Lyons, and after a preliminary examination before Judge O'Meara were held to au appearauce butors the Grand Jury, under die laws of the Ter ritory. The most horrible feature of tbe habit of opium smoking is the terrible hold which it takes upon nearly all who hare ever indulged in it.

Mr. Mark Morton, Traveling Freight Agent for the Chicago, Burlington A Quincy Rail road, aud Mr. VV. J. Davenport, General Agent, of Die same line, called yesterday at the Miner office. These gentlemen having just made their first visit to Butte, express hemselves as highly pleased with the Silver City, and the magnificent scenery along the hue of the Utah & Northern road, Mr. Mor ton makes his headquarters at 102 Michigan Avenue,'Chicago, and Mr. Davenport resides t Couuc l Bluffs.

A Foot Raoe Which Actually Took Place. There was a fight at Kuhwoith's brewery night before last between one Sancho, a mi ner, and soother gentleman who was also devoting himself considerably to the worship of Bacchus. They were both arrested for disorderly conduct, and their cases investi gated in the Police Court yesterday. Sancho was fined $10 and costs and his friend dis missed. This day was indeed an agreeably varied one for the authorities. One of the aleit and active municipal officers of Butte felt so tired of the dullness of the day—not having arrested any one tor fully fifteeu min utes—that he strolled up to a Broadway brewery just iu time to see one sinful son of Adam club another sinful ditto over the head. The offender recognizing the officer's legs—as he afterwards confessed—took to flight instantly, ran out of a back door with tlie officer at full speed after him, ami at tempted to cliruo over the back fence. The top plank broke and back lie tumbled, but the officer was so full—of laughter, that he did not grab him as lie fell. Away they went, neck and nerk, with the odds freely of fered that the rat with the shortest tail would get iu the hole first. As a desperate resolve the fugitive sinner ruined his digestion for ever by slipping into a neighboring sleeping room aud crawling under a bedstead which is just six inches high by actual measurement. With the aid of several jack-screws and a building committee the structure was ele vated and the man captured. Finally, another man who indulged ma most reprehensible practice, which is distinct ly forbidden by the most violated of all tbe ordinances, paid twenty-five dorais for his indiscretion. ARRIVAL OF BISHOP TUTTLE.; Church and Convocation Notes. The arrival of Bishop Tuttle and lie ope ning services at St. Jolin'a church next Sunday will constitute an event in church annals in Butta. When the Bishop was in Helena a handsome reception was tendered to bins, aud all uni ed iu honoring in his person the cause he represented. Ths dedicatory services held in St. Peter's church in the capital city last Sunday were vary impressive, and the music is said to have baeu particularly attractive. It is to be hoped that the But e parish will via with their brethren iu Helena in doing honor to the occasion aud their distinguished visitor. One prominent geniltmau ef this c.ty, in conversation on the subject, ex pressed his regret that at the present time he was so circumstam ed a t not to be ab.e to offer a reception to Bishop Tuttle. In rsgsrd to the memorial window, to he doaa'ed by Mr. W. A. Clark to tbe new church, it is not thought that its alaborate decoration can be finished much before next summer. Bishop Tuttle, Bev. C. O. Tillotson and Mr. »ohn McLaggan, delegates to the con ference from this parish, arrived from Hele na night before last. Tbe Bishop won tha esteem and affection of tbe citizens of Ibis Territory while at the head of this Diocese, and will bo warmly welcomed by friends in Butte. The Bishop is now the guest of Mr. C. H. Moore,and will remain In the city until next Tuesday. It ia said that tha ladies of St. John's Epis copal Church will give a reception to the Bishop at the residence of Charles S. War ren, Esq.," on Monday evening next. Railroad Items. The Union Pacific road has recently or dered a full supply of Fullmau parlor cart for tbeir express and tbrougli trains. Two of their cars, Nos. 56 and 68 , have already been brought into Ogden. They are very handsomely finished, having a ladies' toilet room in one end, similar to such roams in the Pullman sleepiug coaches. The Pilot says that there is now between the two divisions of the Northern Pacific a gap of about 640 miles, much of which ia tbe most difficult country though which to build a road, of the entire line. The N. P. had better aolve tbe difficulty by adopting the Butte route. On one of Colonel Dunn's contracts on the Northern Pacific, near Hellgate, about 40 miles of road bed bave been completed. For authentic railroad news the public is respectfully referred to au independent or gan of the Mulieu route. It is safe to as sume that the groti ud through which a tun nel might, could, would or should be built is in tbe side of tbe mountain yet. The Uiah aud Northern is grading with a good force of men from Silver Bow Junc tion towards Deer Lodge. There is still considerable work to be done near the Junc tion, oil tha Butte line.
