JEW JAKE STABBED. A Serious Cutting Aflfrpy Between Jake Harris anj Jack Galvin, the Former Receiving a Serious Wound. m / -t • — * About four o'clock yesterday afternoon a serious conflict occurred Vu Dell Dick's sa loon on upper Main street, between Jake Harris, better known as "Jew Jake," and Jack Galvin, two well known members of the gambling fraternity. The men had had some disagreement before and at the time mentioned Harris was standing in Dick's saloon when Galvin entered. The quarrel was then renewed, though there are so many conflicting accounts of the af fair that it cannot be positively stated who was the aggressor. At any rate the men came together and fell to the floor in the scuffle. When parted it was found that Harris had received a serious wound in the left side from a dag ger in the hands of his adversary. The blow was a hard one, the knife, which was of the dirk pattern aDd had a blade four inches loDg, being driven through the tenth rib and bnried up to the hilt. Har ris was at once taken to St. Peters Hos pital, where Dr. Rockman immediately at tended him. The physician says the wound is serions and dangerous but not necessarily fatal. Galvin fled to bis room immediately after the occurrence, where be was soon after arrested by Officer Kuntz. He did not deny the cutting, but said he was forced to it in self defense. He was taken to the county jail and will remain there until witnesses can be sum moned and a judicial hearing held. A previous scrimmage in the Headquar ters saloon was what led to the fight. Here Galvin got into an altercation with a man when Harris interfered and took the stranger's part. Galvin then quarreled with Harris, and the latter knocked him down. Galvin is then said to have followed him to Dell Dick's and renewed the fight. Both men are gamblers, and well known in the Territory. Harris is a powerful man and somewhat of an athlete. He wounded in an affray at Great Falls last year a man named Matthews, bnt the latter recovered in a few weeks. Galvin is a smaller man, qniet bat determined, and always ready to avenge an injury. He came here, we believe, from Hailey, Idaho. Both men are middle aged men, and prom inent in sporting circles. At noon to-day there was little or no change in Harris' condition. His wound was dressed and the sufferer was made as comfortable as possible. An injury of that nature is always more or less dangerous, but it is yet too early to predict the result Chances seem to favor his recovery. Appreciated Kindness. Helena County Hospital, Dec. 25,1888. Editor Herald: This is a pleasant day at the hospital, thanks to|the benevolent ladies, who with exemplary thonghtfalness and Christian kindness, contributed the good things.

Presented by his brethern, Helena. M. T., A. L. 5888, A. D. 1888. Surrounding the inscription were beanti fully engraved Masonic emblems. The magnificent gift was favorably pre sented by Mr. C. B. Nolan in a neat speech, that was feelingly responded to by Mr. Morris, who, though taken by surprise, fittingly expressed his thanks. After adjournment the company re paired to the banquet ball, where a boun tiful repast was served. Notable Nuptials. A notable nuptial event occurred Wed nesday afternoon at the residence of the bride's parents in East Helena. The con tracting parties were Frank H. Donaldson and Miss Jennie, the accomplished daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Clark. The cer emony was performed by Rev. T. V. Moore, of this city. The bride was becomingly attired in a dark traveling dress of broad cloth. The gnests included only a few of the very intimate friends of the bride and groom, and the immediate relatives of the family. The presents were very rich and select. After the ceremony the gnests were ushered into the dining-room, where a superb repast was partaken of. The happy oonple then left on the train for a trip to the West Side of the Rockies, where they will be absent for about a week. A Tent Ablaze. The establishment of James Twiford, who conducts the business of tent makin g in a canvass house on lower Main street near Sixth avenue, took fire last evening by sparks from a stove. The blaze waa discovered at 7:30 o'clock and in a few min utes the alarm was sounded and the de partment on the scene. It was checked with little trouble and the only damage done was by water. Fifty dollars will cover the lose. The tower watchman made a mistake and rang the alarm for the fifth instead of the fonrth ward. A Narrow Escape. While some boys were coasting on Sixth avenue yesterday afternoon a young son of Rev. R. E. Smith, ran into a team at the crossing of Main street and fell under the feet of the horses. He was rescued from his perilous position, only a few braises the worse for the accident. It was a nar row escape and the incident shonld serve to discourage the dangerous practice of coasting on streets leading into Main street, where hacks and teams are passing every moment. We would be pleased to know of a man or woman who has never had headache or been subject to constipation. As these seem to be universal troubles a little ad vice may be in order. Why should per sons cram their stomachs with nauseating purgative pills, etc., which sicken and de biliate when snch a pleasant and sterling remedy as Prickly Ash Bittere will act mildly and effectively on the liver, kidney, stomach and boa els, and at the same time tone up and strengthen the whola system, causing headache, constipation and all such distressing evils to quickly disappear* Frozen to Death. Deer Lodge, Dec. 27.' —[Special to the Herald ]—The dead body of Jack Nelson was found to-day near Pioneer. He had ventured out while intoxicated and froze to death during the night.

The Anaconda Company Suspends Operations Temporarily—Mr, O'Farrel's Death. Butte, December 29.— [Special to the Herald.]—The Anaconda company shut down their works yesterday, and the whole plant is now idle. The reason assigned is that the smelters have used up all their ore reserves, and that the Montana Union railway is unequal to the task of supplying the ore shipments, which reach 2,500 tous daily wbeu the works are in full blast. The alleged cause of this is a lack of motive power and inferior equipment on the part of the railroad com pany. The stoppage is, how ever, regarded as only temporary and it is said the Anaconda will start up again the first of January or soon thereafter. An other cause of the shut down is stated to be the death of John O'Farrell, a nephew of Marcus Daly, who died last Thursday. Mr. O'Farrell was superintendent of the Chambers syndicate group of mines, Haggin's copper properties, and was an efficient mining man, whose loss all Butte will feel. Mr. Daly and family are en route home from Philadelphia for the funeral, which will probably take place next Tnesday. It will be one of the largest fanerais ever seen on the West Side as the deceased was very popular. AN OLD-TIMER GONE. Death of Hon, Joaquin Abascal Deer Lodge. It is with regret that the people of Hel ena hear that Joaquin Abascal is dead. The following notice of the sad event is clipped from the Batte Inter Moantain: Every old-timer in Western Montana knows Joaqnin Abascal, and will regret to hear that he died at the McBnrney House in Deer Lodge, Monday night, after a brief illness of hemorrhage of the stomach. He lived at Beartown, where he has been en gaged in business for years, and came down from there to Deer Lodge, intending to board the first train for California, and had purchased his ticket. The deceased was a Castilian by birth and was fifty-five years of age. His arri val in Montana dated back about 1865, when he reached Helena. During 1868 he located at Beartown, where he has resided eversince. He was a brother-in-law of Hon. W. A. Clark, having eleven years ago married a sister of Mr. Clark. A wife and two children, aged seven and nine years, who are at present in California, are left to mourn their loss. A few months ago Mr. Laforcade, the business partner of the deceased, died. Joaquin Abascal was a member of the Masonic fraternity and the fnneral yester day was conducted ander the auspices of this order. Hon. and Mrs. W. A. Clark and Mr. and Mrs. J. K. Clark went down to Deer Lodge to attend tie fanerai. For Sergeant-at-Arms, The approaching session of the Legisla tive Assembly bas brought into the field a number of aspirants for each of the several offices to be tilled in the organization of the two bodies. For Sergeant-at-Arms of the House, Helena has at least one can didate whom many friends will unite in urging for the place. We refer to Archer O. Simons, a gentleman well and favorably known here and in other parts of the Ter ritory. Mr. Simons is a zealous Republi can and is an able representative of the Seventh ward in our Municipal Council. In the late war he loyally served his country to the close of the great conflict and his soldier record, like that estab lished in civil life,is unsullied and without spot. In the Grand Army he has a friend in every comrade. During . the past year he has served the local poet of the order as Adjutant on the staff of the Department Commander he has been honored with a higher posi tion for a like period. Mr. Simons has all the qualifications for Sergeant-at-arms and he will have influential friends who will press his claims upon members of the House for the place. Adjudged Insane. Adam Guise, a contractor and former job wagon driver of Helena, was examined before the Probate Court to-day by a jury who examined into his sanity. He has recently passed through a severe spell of illness, typhoid fever, which left him déli rions. On regaining his faculties he at tempted to resume business, bat the strain was too great upon him and his mind gave way. As he has been.violent with his family it was thought best to confine him. He was accordingly adjudged non compos mentis and will be sent to the Warm Springs asylum for treatment. With good care it is thought he will recover. 4 The Bonds Taken. Evidently the enlightenment bestowed by City Attorney Botkin upon the eastern attorney of the sewer bond purchasers had the desired effect, for the Merchants Na tional bank of Helena yesterday received a dispatch from the National Bank of Com merce of Cleveland, Ohio, stating that the city bonds which were sold some time ago to the firm of C. H. Potter & Co., of that city were taken, and the entire snm of money paid. This settles the bond diffi culty, which has annoyed the city and the Council for some time. Killed on the Track. Wm. Hons ted, a man who had been loaf ing for a few days at Bonner, near Mis soula, was run over by a freight train near there yesterday and instantly killed. It is said he threw himself deliberately on the rails in front of the engine, undoubtedly with the intention of committing suicide. Nothing is known of the antecedents of the unfortunate.

BROKi \jA!L~ Six Prisoners at Butte Cut Through the County Bird Cage and Escape. the rope they The Yesterday evening between eight and nine o'clock a successful attempt at jail breaking was made at the country prison in Bntte, whereby six prisoners made their escape. The jail, like that of Lewis and Clarke county, was provided with steel cells mann factored by Panly Bros. & Co.# of St. Louis, and were deemed proof against escape by catting through plates or bare. However, the Batte jail birds, with what tools is not known, ent a hole through the ceiling of the npper tier of cells, went throngh it to the sky-light above, crawled oat on the roof and let themselves down to street by means of an improvised made ont of their bedding, which tied to the chimney and slid down, escape was not discovered until an hoar later, when Sheriff Lloyd organized a posse and started in pnrenit of the fugitives. As the night was dark, foggy and smoky, the prisoners got a good start and no doubt scattered to various points. The news has been spread, however, by telegraph and telephone to all contiguous points and it is thought most of the fugitives will be ap prehended before they get very far away. The men who escaped were all convicts and under sentence of from two to five years in the penitentiary. They were to be taken ito Deer Lodge in a few days. Those who escaped are G. £. Benson, sen tenced for grand larceny; Wm. Logan, grand larceny; Wm. Heaston, the man who recently nttered forged checks on Marcns Daly and the Anaconda company; Dicken son, J. C. Rick, and one McLennan. A Society Sport. The opening of the great Ouaway tobog gan slide at Chicago is chronicled in the Inter Ocean of the 24th instant. The slide is over 1000 feet long and cost $3,000. It is a model of its kind and is owned by a club of prominent ^society people, numbering five hundred ladies and gentleman. At the open ing on the 22 d inst. among the prominent members present were Potter Palmer, Miss Medill, the Armonrs, Arch bishop Feehan, the McCormicks, Emmons Blaine, the Honerines and a large number of other leading spirits .of Chicago society. Why wonld it not do for Helena society people to organize a similar clnb to enjoy the healthful sport this winter? A Montana Man Hurt. A dispatch from Rochester, N. Y., dated December 23d inst., chronicles an accident to the Atlantic express on the New York Central railroad near Churchville, N. Y. The train was running at a high rate of speed when the rails spread and engine and cars ran into a field adjoining. Twen ty-one persons were injured and two killed outright. Among the injured was L. O. Leonard, manager of the Rocky Mountain Telegraph Company and editor of the Review of Anaconda. The dispatch says he was cat in the face and arms. Mr. Leonard was on his way to New York, having left Helena about ten days ago. His may many friends here trust his in juries may prove slight. A Change of Station* E. C. Hobbs, U. S. Signal Service ser geant, who has been in charge of the Hel ena station for more than a year past, is soon to be transferred to Chicago. While snch a tranfer is considered a promotion, Mr. Hobbs does not long for a change, as he would rather remain in Helena. He has a large circle of friends in the city, too, who will be sorry to see him leave. His snccessor will be here about the first of January. Mr. Hobbs will nse his endeav ors to have the system of weather indica tions and signals extended to Helena, which is entitled to snch service. Swindled the Bank. The Exchange saloon on npper Main street was made the dnpe of a swindler on Christmas to the tune of $150. A check for that amount was presented by a well dressed man, and, as it bore the name of A. M. Holter at the bottom, the caehier promptly cashed it The next day it waa presented at the bank, where it was pro nounced a forgery. The officers were then informed of the occurrence, but it was too late to catch the swindler, who had made himself scarce. The police, however, will keep a lookout for him. An Elkhorn Injunction. Jndge McConnell recently issued a re straining order, instructing the Elkhorn Mining Company to forbear farther inter ference with the work being done at Elk horn by L. N. Smith et al. It seems that a few days ago Mr. Smith sent out a gang of men to represent a quartz claim entered by him on ground held by the Elkhorn company as a mill-site. Smith's meu were ordered off by the Elkhorn superintendent, and warned not to come back. Where upon Mr. Smith applied to the court for an injunction which was granted, allowing him to resume work.

Once establlshed ii eatsinto the very vitals, and renders life but a long-drawn breath of misery and disease, dulling the sense of hearing, trammeling the power of speech, destroying the faculty of smell, tainc.ng the breath and klillng the re tinea pleasures of taste. Insidiously, by creeping on from a simple cold in the head, it assaults the membranous lining and envelops the bones, eating through the del icate coats ax.d causing inflammation, sloughing ana death. Nothing short of total eradication will secure health to the patient and all ale viatives are simply proerstinated sufferings, leading to a fatal termination. Sanford's Radical Cure, by Inhalation and by InUri o' administration, has never failed; even when the disease has made frightful inroads on delicatcate constitu tions, hearing, smell and taste have been recov erd, and the disease thoroughly driven out."
