English general OF renown, who had come
home from the Soudan covered with glory
and honor, and with the Victoria cross to
wear upon his breast, writes a correspon-
dent of the San Francisco Argonaut. In
the very peal OF his triumphs he became
conscious that a malignant disease was
fastening itself upon him. His physicians
pronounced it incurable cancer of the
throat, and warned him that his doom
would come oon
His resolve was soon taken. He had
faced death in the battlefield, but he would
not face the long, wearing grief OF an invalid
wife and a delicate daughter; nor should
hey see him suffer the hopeless agonies OF
he months of life that lay before him.
He told them that he was coming to Am
erica to hunt buffalo. They are English
,)eople who still believe that the plains are
iuI of buffalo. His speech was already al
fected when he gave his last yearning look
at the shores OF bis English home, but his
amily suspected nothing. He died some

to enable the grips to carry the cars around
without letting go the rope.
THE ROPE

miles and a half long, to be made OF steel.
This will be driven by a 75-horse power

THE GRIP

pending from the bottom OF the grip-carand
catching the rope in the conduit described,
by which means the grip-car and the pas

as a rule in other cities his orders are

tices requesting passengers to abstain from

running across the car. The gripman has a
partition in the center to himself, where he
stands and works his levers. The grip to be
used here is what is known as the Vogel

is similar to the grasping motion OF the hui

ing the cable and excessive wear on the
same and on the grip jaws. When the CABLE
is released it travels on the carrier sheaves

RUN DYER By Il TRAIN.
Verdict of the Coroner's Jury on the Two
Boys Killed Sunday.

An inquest was held yesterday forenoon
on the bodies OF Tommy Burns and Jerry
Green, the two lads who were killed on
Sunday at noon by a train OF empty ore
cars on the Montana Union hill road above
Meaderville. The accident took place a
little west OF the crossing OF the Montana
Central, opposite the trestle OF the latter.
From the evidence adduced, it was learned
that the two boys named and another lad
named Toomey were stealing a ride. There
were thirteen cars on the train which had
passed the Modoc switch and was backing
down, with the engine in the rear. The
boys were on the second cal in front.
Young Toomey was seated on the car and
Burns and Green were sitting on the edge OF
the car next the hill. After passing through
a cut and while rounding a curve going at
the rate OF twelve miles an hour, the
FIRST CAR LEFT THE TRACK,
from some unexplainable reason, and threw
off Assistant Yard Master Walden. who re-
ceived an injury in the ankle. When the
second car followed the boy Toomey was
thrown into the gulch and jumped up IN
hurt, while Burns and Green were thrown
on the track and run over by the rest OF the
cars. The brakeman, who was on the sixth
car, jumped off as soon as he saw the first
car leave the track, and signalled the en-
gineer to stop. The latter did so within a
train length, and when they Wentto look for
the boys they found one under the tank and
the other under the ash pan of the engine,
dead. Their bodies were badly mutilated.
The inquest was held at the house OF the
parents of jerry Green.
A CRowD OF oYs
about the ages of those killed by the acct
dent crowded about the door where the in
guest was being held on their young com
~panion. The train men in giving their testi-
mony told what a hard job it was to keep
boys from getting on. cars. Even when put
| off they would climb on" again when the
mems backs were turned. II they used any
strictness with the boys the train
hands were liable to nave stones
thrown at them or be held to
answer by parents. They gave the boys
living along the line ofthe road a charac-
ter for bei~ngincorrigib!e, and it is to be hoped
that what the boys who were present heard
will have the effect of lettering them from
the dangerous practice OF stealing rides on
trains. The train men testified that such
accidents as that by which Burns and
Green were killed are liable to occur at any
| time. The verdict of the jury was that
the boys had been run over by a train Of
| fat cars, and that the Montana Union and
it's employees were entirely free from any
blame for the accident.

THE BOND ISSUE.
The Purpose for Which 1t Is Needed and
When It viii Be Made.


When 1t Will BE Made
The action OF the City Council on Wednes-
day eveningin passing an ordinance author
izing the issue of $50, 900 bonds is the last
step necessary to bring the matter before
the people for action. The City Clerk was
under the impresslca that it would yet be
necessary for the Council to pass a resolu-
ton fixing the date of the public election
yet to be held as to whether the bonds are
to issue. The passage of that ordinance
was suggested by the result in Helena where
the bono election was held without such an
ordinance being passed, which was one OF
the grounds on which the issue there was
pronounced invalid. Matters were in shape
before this by an arrangement OF the Coun-
Gil when the Clerk was authorized to call
the election as soon as certain assurances
were received by the Finance Committee.
Nothing il lost by proceeding with all the
possible legal precaution. The ordinance
will be published soon, but all the provi-
sions of it are generally known to the pub
lie which is prepared to vote on the matter
as intelligently now as a week hence. Inc
PLAIN PROPOSITION
before the voters is whether or not to issue
bonds to the amount of $S0,00o-$lO,ooO
for City Hall and fire department purposes;
SIS, 900 for street grading and similar pur-
poses, and $55, 900 for building sewers.
The need OF a new arrangement OF the hre

to need no explanation. Any one VINO mas

Engine Near Miles City. -
MILES CRY, Mont, July 2.-[Special to
the Miner. Dan Westfall, engineer on the
Northern Pacific, was severely injured fl
teen miles above this place at 3 a. m.
The bluffs are known to be dangerous at
that point this time OF year, and the train
was proceeding cautiously. Day was just
breaking, and the engineer noticed some
thing ahead on the track. He reversed his
engine, and told his fireman, Ed. Stock, to
Jump, which he did.
The latter had scarcely struck the ground
when a mass OF earth and rock tumbled
down the bluff, striking the engine fairly be-
tween the drivers. The engine after running
twenty feet further, toppled over.
Engineer Westfall stood at his post until
he saw the engine trucks leaving the track,
and then he jumped. His left loot and
ankle were caught under the tank and
crushed SO that a~mputation was necessary.
The fireman badly ~sprained his ankle.
The engine. two cars of merchandise and
two of coal were wrecked and the track
was badly damaged.
