A Horrible Wreck,

BosToN, Mass, Aug. 10.-One OF
the most disastrous railroad accidents that
ever occurred in the vicinity of Boston,
and one that rivals the famous Woilaston
disaster Of October 5, 1879, occurred short
ly after l o'clock this afternoon on the
same road, the Old Colony, and very near
the same vicinity.
In the Wollaston disaster fifteen were
killed and nearly $50 injured To-day If
teen persons were killed, twelve instantly,
twenty three were seriously injured, three
fatally, and several more sustained slight
injuries.

Tho train had passed Quincy station at
1851 p. m, running about ten miles an
hour, and Just beyond Presidents bridge,
about one-eighth OF mile toward Boston,
the engine left de track, from q cause at
present undetermined, and plunged into
an embankment twelve feet high and was
buried upon one side. The tender, bag
gage car, smoker and Pullman passed by
the engine and were stretched along for
= distance Of one hundred feet beside the
track. The foremost passenger coach, No.

swerved to the left and plunged disgonally
through the car floor. The car then fell
upon its left side upon the engine. Tho

THE COURTIER's REPLY.

An cid Morse king, one dark and stormy night
Sat with his courtiers in his windy hall,
The oak logs blazed, and shafts or ruddy light
Waved like moving spears along the wall.
Without, like some old Viking armed for war
The tempest wandered In his robe OF rain,
Or, rushing with clamor from afar.
Roared through the castle and was gone again
The monarch and bis bearded courtters set
All silent round the fire. with downcast eye,
No sound within was heard, save when rat
Scampered across the floor with dismal cry.
But suddenly bird, wet winged and bright.
Flashed over them and vanished as 1t came.
Out of the night. 1t vanished into night.
As brief and beautiful as a falling fame.
'Such, }" said the king. lis this life of ours
A moments passage through lighted room
One tasto of this sweet breath-then death de-
YOURS
Life's transient day in its eternal gloom"
A moment no one spoke then with tear

"True SIRE the tired bird did not tarry here
Because the n est God gave it lay beyond"

NOTES FROM EIHAR1

Favorable Reports From tho Great Camps
of the Belt Mountains.
The 1ngersoll Mining company was Or
ganized last June on a group of five
claims, namely, the Ingersoll, Queen of
the Mountains, Summit, Syndicate and
Vulture originally located In 1881. The
carital stock of the company is $1,000
600, divided into 100000 shares of 81
each. in the Queen of the Mountains is
a 70 foot shaft, run on q continuous ore
body six feet IN width. In the Summitis
a ID foot shaft; in the Ingersoll a shaft
20 feet, one tunnel in ore 1866 feet, varying
in width from two to three feet the en-
tire distance; and another tunnel goo feet
and is 1855 feet below the upper one. In
the face of this tunnel a vein of two and
a half feet of quartz and galena is ex-
posed. The intention is to run this tun~
mel in a distance of 1000 feet and cross
cut to the Queen of the Mountains and
tap the vein at a depth of 700 feet. This
group adjoins the Moulton and Is regard
ed by many men as one of the finest col
lection of prospe is in tile district. The
owners mean business and purpose scon
to put in Rand drills and push develop
ment vigorously. As yet no shares have
been placed upon the market, though
100000 shares have been set aside for II
working capital. Considerable ore has
been extracted in the course of develop
ment, some 300 tons now being on the
the dump of the upper tunnel.
The Boss and Atlantis lodes, owned by
Martin Barrett, Chas. Mix and q. p.
Downing, are looming up in fine shape.
In the 3OO-foOt tunnel an 18-inch streak,
carrying wire silver in white quartz and
spar intermlxed with galena, runs $3.50
per ton. A knife-blade streak IN the
same vein runs away up in the hundreds.
Walsh & Pierce have bonded the
Rochester lode OF john Lend, r. Fl. Men
efee, John M. G. Wilson for $4,000.
They are to sink 100 feet and will begin
work at once. Their within will arrive
from Helena II a few days. In the bot
tom of the shaft, down 80 feet, a large
vein of manganese Is exposed which car
ries on the foOt-wall a l5-lnch streak of
carbonate ore that returns 1853 ounces in
silver and 81 per cent lead.

A MINNEAPOLIS young man who will
cast his first vote this fall asks the St,
Paul Globe to furnish five reasons for
voting the democratic ticket. We com
mend the Globes answer to young Mon
tanian's who will vote for the first time
next month.
First-Because you are u young man
and want to start right.
Second-Because when you grow old
you want to have a record that you will
not be ashamed of. By voting the demo-
cratic ticket all your life you will be free
from political sins.
lihird-The principles of democracy
are The foundation stones of popular gov
eminent. Democracy means a govern
ment of the people, by the people and
for the people.
Fourth-There is no incentive to a
young man to support a party like the
republican party, which is VIGOROUSLY
the agent of monopoly, and which, when
IN power, compels every hard working
American citizen to yield up a certain
~ portion of his earnings to a privileged
class. The democratic party is opposed
to both the shadow and the substance
of monopoly.
Fifth-Every young mar with lofty
ambition aud patriotic impulse must ally
himself with the democratic party be
cause wealth is the only avenue to dis
truction in the republican party. The
democratic party is the only party in
which manhood counts for something.

Disastrous Prairie Fires.

ST.. PAUL, Oct. IA Pioneer Press
special from Mandan, N. D., says: Parties
from north and south bring in new of
the terrific character of late prairie fires.
The Riverside Ranch company in the
southern part of the county, lost 800 head
of stock, worth over $4,000. Carl Harm,
a settler, narrowly escaped, while his
horses were burned to death. He had
been blowing tire-breaks and ran towards
the flames, while the horses an from it
and were overtaken. H. S. Parker, on
Cannonball, lost 40 head Of cattle. A
number of settlers had all their hay
burned in addition to range and many
cattle. The fire leaped over breaking
200 feet wide. 1t is estimated that south
of the Northern Pacific in this county
over 100000 damage has been done.
Reports from Killdeer, Montana, north
west of here, are that range. hay and cat
tie were burned to the value of thousands
of dollars. 1t was the worst and most
destructive fire ever known west of the
Missouri river. .
