The receipt OF an invitation to attend a
banquet to be given to James j. Hill and
party at the Grand Central Hotel, Helena,
by the Board of Trade of that city, is
thankfully acknowledged. Pressing duties
prevented the appearance Of a MINER rep
resentative 1.-THE grand affair. The MINER,
however, is heart and hand with the en-
terprising citizens OF the Capital in their
efforts to increase the railroad facilities OF
the Territory and joins them in extending
a hearty welcome to Mr.. Hill, the "little
giant OF the Northwest" The remarks
made by the gentleman at the banquet are
full OF hope for the people OF Montana, and
lead us to believe that in the very neal fu-
ture the Montana Central will be at the

A Singular Explosion.

CHICAGO, September ia few minutes
before II O'Clock last night James Colvin,
night operator, sitting in the signal tower
OF the Lake Shore Company, at the inter-
section OF the main and stock yards tracks,
was blinded by an explosion. The tower is
thirty feet high. Colvin had noticed moth
ing unusual, when he was suddenly clarified
by seeing a column OF smoke arise at one
side of the structure, followed by a deafen-
ing explosion. A twenty-inch piece OF gas
pipe was found, showing that it was dy-
Mantle that caused the explosion. OF 100
cells OF a battery in the building, thirty
four were broken, along with pneumatic
tubes which will cost thousands OF dollars
to repair. What makes the attempt the
more dastardly is that the outbound
passenger train was due a few minutes
after the explosion occurred. The theory
of the police is that the wreckers expected
to blow up the tower, and when the pass
enger train came along to throw the switch,
and thus they would have plunged into the
mass Of freight cars lining the tracks. An
other attempt to wreck a train took place
last night about 8 o'clock. When the Lake
was receiving from the Illinois Cen
trail, a train OF twenty.eight cars, the
switch a turned and fifteen cars derailed.
arrests have beed made, but moth
ing definite has been learned from the men

The rank and file of the Republican
party propose they shallnot be ignored in
the convention next Monday. They have
stood that treatment about long enough.
Present appearances indicate they will
command the nomination of candidates
and break the slate OF the bosses. They
will probably nominate John Lloyd for
Sheriff, Ed. Edwards for Clerk and Re-
corder, Jonathan Blake for Assessor,
Harry Kessler for Treasurer, w. E. Hall,
Benjamin Tibbey and Colonel Trask for
County Commissioners and a legislative
ticket OF their own choosing. The rest OF
the ticket will be made up OF such mate
rial as is conveniently at hand.

In the case of Lewis and Clarke County
against the hondsmen OF ex-Treasurer
Kemp Roberts, a proposition to COM
promise the matter by the bondsmen, Gov.
Hauser and D.. A. G. Flowerree, paying one
half the original claim, s3s,251.4O, against
Roberts has been made to the County
Commissioners and will probably be &C.
cepted. The proposition includes the re-
lease OF Roberts personal property by the
county, but does not in any way affect the
criminal charge resting against him. Pope
and Cuthbert, two OF the Commissioners,
favor the compromise, while Ellis desires
until Monday to think over the matter.

REPUBLICAN, PRIMARIES.
The Bosses Downed the WOrkingmen

Yesterday afternoon the air was full OF
harmony for the Republicans in Silver Bow

o'clock in the Butte precinct, which casts
ov.r one.third OF the votes in the conven-
t;on The total number Of delegates to be
selected is 1877; therefore the most inn
p~ortant point was this precinct. Groups
OF the faithful could be seen at every few
wards, for q ticket had been placed in the
field which did not recognize them as party
leaders. Promptly at 4 pm. the Judges

ceivirg the tickets. By 5 O'Clock the
bosses had voted about all OF their
strength, the polling list showing at
that time PIT votes cast but now began
arriving the rank and file who desired their
votes to be recorded against 'Bossism."
The fight was hot and bitter while it lasted.
Part OF Burlington and several loads from

battle in favor OF the Bosses. A great

The Situation at Charleston.

CHARLESTON, September lit is bright
and beautiful to-day, though it rained
heavily in early morning. The people are
gradually recovering their houses and the
numbers in shelters and tents are RAPIDLY
diminishing. Th;re were three or four
slight shocks of earthquake during the
night, but not serious and comparatively
few persons were aware of their occurrence.
The subsistence committee has changed it's
plan of operations, and appoints visitors
Tor each ward to ascertain cases of dis
tress, all OF which will be supplied at their
homes. The Board OF Engineers is still at
work surveying buildings, and continue to
condemn those that are unsafe. Latest re-
ports from points along the South Caro-
lima Railway Indicate that the reports OF
distress at Lincolnville, Knightsville and
elsewhere are greatly exaggerateJ.

John PHGNlx," the lamented Lieut..
Derby, in describing the fight he had with
the editor of the San Diego (Cal.) Herald,
said he held him down on the ground by
lying on his back and inserting his nose in
the teeth OF the irate editor. This is about
the way the Republican bosses held down
the laymen of the party at the primaries
last evening. The bosses are badly de-
moralized in the fight and their slate is
probably "busted" to smithereens.

Charles Chase, an Old-Time Miner Com

Special to The MINER.
DILLON, M. T., September 11.-Charles
Chase, an old-time miner and ]prospector
in this section, committed suicide last
Thursday at the Last Cloud mine. thirty
five miles west OF Dillon. He and his
brother John had that day went to work
in the mine, and about 4 o'clock the de-
ceased went down to their cabin, and not
returning, John and another man went to
look for him. They found him dead be.
side a bunk or which he had evidently
been sitting when he put a revolver to his
head and sent a bullet crashing through
his brain, just above and behind the right
ear. He was about 45 or so years OF age,
single and no cause is assigned for the act,
except temporary insanity.
