heard on all sides, and the enthusiasm OF
the visitors knows no bounds. Indeed, a
more successful or grander political demon.
stration has never taken place within the
Territory than the Democratic barbecue
gotten. up by the Anaconda wing of the
party. To adequately describe it would
be simply impossible in the contracted
space OF a newspaper article.
The city is crowded to it's utmost, and
where all the people come from is a mys-
terry. Everywhere one sees party emblems,
from the modest little tintype OF the next
president and vice president to the large
transparency requiring the strength of two
men to carry fit. The streets are a sea

of bandanas.

greetings followed. After waiting short
time, the Deer Lodge train arrived, Laving
on board $50 men, members of the Deer
Lodge County Democratic club, and wa
received with cheers from the Butte and
Anaconda delegations that startled the
peaceful inhabitants of the valley for miles
around, and awoke an echo among the
hills the like OF which was never heard
among them before. - .-
Soon after d column OF smoke was seen
in the north and everyone grew impatient
for the train, which caused it, to arrive, as
the word was passed around that it was a

as the train arrived, il was attached to the

two engines the journey towards Anaconda
was resumed. Engine No. OF the Mon
tana Union, beautifully draped with bunt-
ing and the national colors, and having
fastened to it's sides life-size pictures OF
Cleveland and Thurman, was IN the lead.
The appearance of the train at the lower
end of the town was the signal Tor general
screeching OF steam whistles and salutes OF

made the hills ring with his whistle as he
initiated the Growing OF a rooster, and was
rewarded with cheers from the train as it
rolled by. ~@ A'4'5~ 49,

a column was formed headed Tor the race
track where the barbecue was to take

of people on foot, astride of horses and
riding in all kinds OF vehicles that could
carry human freight.

The rear was brought up by the Ana

torches. Fully /, 500 men were in line, while
the number was placed at a much larger
figure.
The Butte club was headed by the Emmet
Guard band and the Anaconda club by the
Anaconda band. These, with the fife and
drum corps, alternatedi in playing patriotic
and national airs, continuously keeping the
air filled with the most stirring music. All
of the paraders were supplied with Roman
candles, which they kept discharging as they
marched. Rockets and other fireworks

the Train Men More or Less Guilty.
Stupid Look-outs Who Failed to Notify
the Engineers.
MAucH CHUNK, Pa, October 22.-The cor.
oner's jury, which has been investigating
the recent disaster at Mud Run, on the Le-
high Valley road, returned verdict to-day,
finding the engineers OF both locomotives Of
the seventh section guilty OF gsoss negli.
gence in failing to see the danger signal in
time, and for not approaching the station
with the train under control. as required by
the rules. The engineer Of the second engine
could have stopped the train had he ap-
piled the air brakes, and he is censured for
not having done so.
A lookout man was on each engine in ad-
dition to the engineer and fireman. having
bsen PLACED thsre sspssially 30 watch for
signals. These men are found guilty OF
gross negligence. The lookout on the first
engine claims he did not see q red light. An
other man testified that he saw it when
about /, 500 feet from the station. and yet
he reported alright to the engineer and
claims
HE DID NOT THINK
q red light meant anything, as nobody used
it. These men are guilty of gross negli-
gence, as is also the rear brakeman OF the
sixth section, for, while he had ample time
to 20 back at least half mile with his
red light, he went less than four hundred
feet.
The conductors of both sections failed
in their duty, one in not conforming to the
rule requiring each conductor to see per-
soAally that his brakemen protects thei
rear Of the train, and the other in not re-
quiring his train to approach the station
