FATAL ACCIDENT.
A Miner Fatally Injured by a
Small Cave in the
Bell Mine.

About one o'clock Thursday after
noon two miners named Cornelius
and John Sullivan, were working in
the north cross-cut from the 4OO-foot
station in the Bell mine, when a
large piece of rock became detached
above them, and without a warning
sign came crashing down upon Cor
nelius Sullivan The rock struck
the unfortunate man upon the back
a. he was STOPPING in the act of pick
ing out som. loose rock from a re-
cent blast, crushing him to the
ground and rolling off. He was
immedi, tely tai en- to the surface
where no bones being foun' to be
broken it was supposed that he was
merely stunned and that no serious
results would ensue. He was con
veyed to the residence of his nephew,
Jerry Sullivan, in Centreville, where
a surgeon examined his injuries and
decided that they were internal and
of a serious character, which proved
to be the case, Sullivan ngering in
great agony until II o'clock yesterday
morning, when he died of internal
hemorrhage. The deceased was about
fifty years of age and had no imme-
date family, though several nephews
reside in this vicinity. He came to
Butte last April, since which time
he has worked in the mines and has
made many friends during his short
residence in the camp. His remains
/ will be buried at 2 o'clock this after
noon from the residence of Jerry Sui
Ivan in Centerville.

Grand Celebration Of the Sixth
Anniversary Of the Uni
form tank.
Gallant Knights -and Charming
Ladies.

The strains of martial music, the
handsomely uniformed Knights, and
the crowds which gathered upon the
sidewalks yesterday to witness the
grand parade, gave the city quite a
IN. the Knights emerged from Castle
hall and preceded by the Alice brass
band paraded through the principal
streets of the city. their gay uniforms
and martial appearance eliciting
much favorable comment from the
lookers-on. Reaching the Granite
street Pavilion the procession filed
into its spacious assembly room,
where, after a selection of music by
the band. Sir Knight L. E. Holmes
was introduced, who delivered an
eloquent address upon the origin and
benefits of secret orders and their in
tluence upon humanity as a CIV
ilizer and educator of the
people. At the conclusion
of DR.. Holmes address the band
played a lively air, after which Sir
Knight J. Jay Garvin was intro
duced and addressed the audience in
III able argument, showing that the
duly 10 ClC lvuludllOA Va OH WSOlA-
cation, and the great law giver for
the whole world, that organizations
of the character of the knights Of
Pythias spring from the same con-
ception of order and law, and that
they exercise a salutary influence
upon mankind, elevating individual
character and raising the standard
of social intercourse between men.
MI. Garvin's address was signal
lied by a very interesting episode. in
which the eloquent gentleman adj
dressed himself to Sir Knight Com
mander G.. S. Shoemaker, and on be-
half of Silver Bow Division No. 2,
presented him with a beautiful gold
emblem of the Order as a testimonial
Of their respect and esteem.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Garvin's
address the procession reformed and
marched to Castle Hall, where it dis
banded.
In the evening the large hall at
the Pavilion presented a scenes of fes-
tivity rarely witnessed. The bril-
liantly lighted assembly oom was
handsomely decorated with ever
greens, flags and emblems. About
one hundred couples were present,
and the beautiful costu mes of the
ladies appeared to good advantage in
contrast with the blue coats and
brass buttons of the gaily trimmed
uniforms of the Sir Knights. Music
was furnished by Burt's excellent
band. and to its inspiring music tie
merry party tripped the light fantas-
tic until an early hour this morning.
The ball was attended by a
number of knights from a
distance, representatives being
observed from Dillon, Deer Lodge,
Anaconda, Glendale and other
places. The u. r. X. of =. sixth an
adversary ball will long live in the
memory of Butte society people as a
! pronounced social success and a most

That Big Hole Excursion.
Ut August 81, 1888.

BUTTE, August 81, 1888.
Editor Butte Miner:
The Judge" gets off a pretty good
story in this mornings MINER about
the Big Hole excursion, and I've
nothing to say about "1ndian sig
nals.n but he leaves half the story
untold, and some of the incidents OF
the trip which would have greatly
embellished his recital are entirely
ignored. For instance nothing Is
said of his own skill in cookery, as
displayed the first night out from
Chase's ranch, when we bivouacked
on Ruby Creek. He declared
his intention of having a
mess of beans, and ignorant
of the swelling properties of the req
beans, he emptied the: whole sac
about Is pounds-into the Kettle
and started a rousing fire under them
As the water began to boil the beans
began to swell, and "the judge be-
gan to bail out, filing camp Kettles
pals, pans and every vessel in the
outfit with the surplus beans, butt
boys had opened another sack and as
fast AZ he bsiled out they emptled
more into the kettle. Finally, with
the perspiration starting from every
pore, the Juage sat down on a log ana
as he mopped his face exclaimed, b
Jehosephat! boys I didn't KNOW
beans would swell that Way!'
AS we left the camp the
next morning, the JUDGE
gazed meditatively upon the grouno
strewn with beans and remarked
Boys anybody that comes along
this trail will know we've bean here
won't they?" Another embe'''sh'
ment left out Of yesterday mornings
narrative, is the story OF the Juoges
explorations over the DIVIDE from
our Brundy creek camp, when nc
distinguished himself as a path hno-
er and showed his knowledge ol
woodcraft by getting lost, and mar
ly coming out at our camp OF the
night before. Numerous Incidents
of the trip might be recited, but the
above is probably sufficient to even
up the score on that "Indlan slghai
yarn, and 1 desist.
