At the meeting of the city council last evening Mayor Dugan made an advance report on the matter of the payment of the claims presented against the city for damages sustained by the action of the fire department in turning water on the crowd at the baseball grounds on the Simon Hausworth during the trouble on the Fourth of July. The report of the mayor was as follows: "To the Members of the City Council: Gentlemen—In regard to the claims presented by C. J. Anderson and Simon Hausworth for damages alleged to have been sustained on July 4, 1894, I have refused to sign any warrants for the payments of said claims, for the reason that I have been informed by S. B. Boam, the acting city attorney, that the city is not responsible to the above named parties for damages sustained on that day. The reason given by the acting city attorney is: First—The city is not responsible for any property destroyed by a mob or riot. Second—When a riot occurs within the limits of a city the mayor is empowered to take all necessary and reasonable steps to stop it, and to use all necessary and reasonable means in doing so. On the day in question a riot was in progress on Broadway between Broadway and Main streets, and was precipitated by the acts of the above named parties in placing certain inscriptions over their places of business; their right to do so I do not question, but the policy of doing so was very questionable, and by their conduct a riot was precipitated, and all the available forces of the police department and fire department was necessary to quell it. In quelling the said riot some damage may have been done to the above named parties, but the damage was brought on by their own act, by them through any fault or negligence on the part of the city, or any of its officers, and I therefore the said claims should not be paid. I asked the city attorney for this opinion in a written opinion, but he has failed to so advise, preferring to give it verbally to the several citizens given me. All of which is respectfully submitted. E. Dugan, Mayor. Alderman Cook asked why the claims of Mrs. Morier and Charles Hollensworth were suspended. He had sent that message, and the latter replied that they were in no way responsible for the damage done to Morier, but the claims for Hausworth and Anderson were. Alderman Kelly reminded the council that Mrs. Morier was a widow, and while he would not promise to recommend paying the city, he thought she should be paid. Alderman Pascoe in moving that the message be referred to the judiciary committee said that if one was to be paid, all should be. He believed, however, that the judiciary committee could straighten the matter and the mayor's communication was referred to them. The monthly reports of the fire marshal, totaling $200 for the month of October were read. The fire marshal reported that the department had collected a total loss of $200. The postmaster reported that he had captured eleven dogs and collected fines amounting to about $21.50, and had killed fifteen dogs and collected $21.50. These were the receipts from the proceeding month. G. A. Sampson submitted a communication, offering to trade the Cabron block for the old city hall property on West Park street and take a bonus of $15,000 in interest bearing warrants. Referred to the committee on committee. The Independent Scandinavian church was allowed the use of the Auditorium for an entertainment on Aug. 25. Owing to the fact that the Auditorium had been previously engaged by the Ladies' Aid society their right to use it expired, the application of the Free Cottage association for the use of the hall for General Warner's lecture was accordingly acted upon. The street and alley committee recommended that sidewalks be laid on Academy street between and Front streets. The committee also recommended that Mr. Patterson's offer to sell the city some property be laid on the table. A resolution was also introduced changing the grade on Arizona street. The Phoenix Electric Light and Steam Heating company sought an extension of the franchise granted it and gave a bond of $5,000 with M. J. Connell and John M. Stewart as sureties. The Butte General Electric company signed the contract for supplying the city with light for one year and filed a $5,000 bond. Alderman Kelly reminded the council that there was an ordinance providing for the painting of telegraph poles in parts of the city and that the Western Union Telegraph company had failed to comply with its provisions. The clerk was instructed to notify the company to complete the work of painting the poles and commence before the next council meeting the actual completion. Also, to be instructed to count the poles and collect rent on each pole as soon as provided by the ordinance. The ordinance to create a sewer district on the east side of the city was defeated. The mayor appointed J. H. McCarthy, A. T. Morgan and F. S. Jones as committee to consider the charges for a change of grade on Arizona street. ## Column 3 T. E.

It was a fairly good day for favorites at the Anaconda races yesterday. The first event was the unfinished 1.22 class trot. Billy D. finished Tuesday evening with two heats to his credit, and yesterday it was a foregone conclusion that one heat would decide it. With very little effort Billy came in an easy winner with Atkinson second and Prince Garland third. Time: 2.22. The mile and half races for the Copper City stakes, valued at $1,400, was the next event, with the following entries: Salomon and Beachcomber, Marcus Daily Express, Garland and Rounsell, and Minnie Bowman, Randall & Son. Frank McTague's Euniss had been entered, but was scratched. The Daily stake money was $80 and the field at $22, but the betting was not very lively. The Daily team took the lead and maintained it to the wire, the finish being as follows: Beachcomber about a half a length, Beachcomber second, Minnie Boush third. Time 2.47. For the Upper Flat stakes, 2.23 class, the eligible entries were Delbert by H. S. McGinnis; Marchioness by C. B. Tryon and Carley Brooks by the Witch Hazel stock farm. In the pools Delbert was the favorite. In the first heat Marchioness broke and Delbert took the lead and held it finishing five lengths ahead, with Marchioness second and Marchioness third. Time: 2.40½. In the second heat Delbert broke but regained his lost and crossed the wire two lengths ahead of Marchioness. Time 2.32. This gave the race and stakes to Delbert and Marchioness and Carley Brooks to divide the other money. The running three-quarter mile handicap was next, and this was the best event with the following starters: Gold mine entry, Stranger; Barney; Athton; Raindrop; Nettie Glen and Carrie Shaw; Jennie Deane was the favorite, and sold at $10. Nell Glen held the path and passed under the wire first with Jennie Glenn second and Zintun third. Time 1.47½. Mutuals paid $11.82. The entries for the 3.14 class, pacing, were as follows: S. B. third, Black Cloud by Easton & Jones; Barney by J. A. Barney; D. D. Marks by M. Revatta; Kitsitas Ringer by the Witch Hazel stock farm, and J. D. Marks. Kitsitas Ranger was the favorite with Black Cloud second in the pools. Ranger took the lead promptly by the Witch Hazel and Barney was driven up and at the 3-8 pole Black Cloud second. Kitsitas Black Cloud broke and in order to avoid accident the driver pulled him back of the horse and stopped him. The finish was made: Barney, first; Iron, second; Rondeau, third. Time 2.43. Barney was won by a length with Lark second and Kitsitas Ringer third. ### Studying Army Ballooning. One of the officers attached to the United States army and stationed here temporarily, yesterday received a letter from the war department. He says that a number of signal officers from this district could go with a mountain man to instruct the soldiers stationed at the western posts in the use of the new army balloon which has been adopted by the war department for taking observations in time of war. The value of the balloon as a place of observation is in this respect enormous, it is claimed, and in European countries the army balloon is now fitted with a motor of light weight and of sufficient power to make it a means enabled to make detours above the enemy and return again at pleasure. ### Sweden Attention. At an informal meeting of twenty-five or thirty Swedes last Sunday evening it was decided to organize a Swedish republican club of Butte. The next meeting of Swedes will be held at Caplian hall on Friday, at 8 o'clock, and all the Swedish republicans in the city are requested to attend. --- **Awarded Highest Honors—World's Fair.** **DR.
