Democratic State Convention

The democratic, state convention met
at Helena on Monday and was called tc
order in Ming's opera house at noon by
Marcus DAILY, chairman of the state
committee. A temporary organization
was effected by the election of T. H
Collins of Cascade county as chairman,
and j. E. Kanouse of Meagher as secre-
tary. These officers were afterwards
made permanent by the report of the
committee on permanent organization
and order of business, which was adopt
ed. After the appointment of commit
tees on credentials, order Of business
and permanent organization and on res
olutions, an adjournment was taken un-
til 8 o'clock.
During the recess a caucus was held
at the opera house to which none but
delegates were admitted. The object Of
this caucus was to unite upon candi-
date for congress to lead the forlorn
hope of the democracy at the coming
election. This work was effectively done
by forcing the nomination upon w. w.
Dixon OF Butte, who was finally per-
suaded to accept, although, as he de-
clared, very much against his desire.
This made it comparatively easy sailing
for the convention, and when that body
again reassembled the formal nomina
tion OF Dixon Mas put through with a
rush.

Carter's Letter of Accordance .

NdFtcf . 1.cLLef Oh Acceptance.
The following is the telegram Of ac-
ceptance to which reference was made
in the latest convention disT atches of
last week:
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Sept. 12.-To
Hon. James II. Mills, chairman, Butte:
The conventions unanimous action,
despite all have said on the subject of
my candidacy, leaves me no alternative
but to make it's will my own. l must
do that or refuse upon purely personal
considerations. This l cannot do. The
republican party has honored me too
often and too greatly to justify me in
placing personal interests against it's
demands so earnestly made. In obedi-
ence, therefore. to the conventions re-
peated calls, accept its nomination.
You will please present my profound
thanks to the convention for it's many
expressions of confidence and your as
surances of victory. l have the most
profound faith in our success. The
acts OF this administration and this
congress have contributed enormously
to the prosperity of Montana. The
people cannot fail to endorse republican
principles without antagonizing every
material interest of the state.

The Ericsson Obseuuies.

The body of Capt. John Ericsson was
landed from the United States warship
Baltimore at Stockholm, Sweden, Sun
day. The transfer was made with much
ceremony. The reception committee,
which included three officers of the navy
and four nephews of the dead man, met
on board the Baltimore at l:3O p. IN.
Speeches were made by Captain Schley
OF the Baltimore in delivering the body
to the American minister, by the latter
in consigning it to Admiral Peyron, and
by the admiral in accepting charge of
the body. The body was then trans
ferred to steam barge, draped in black
and silver, commanded by captain of
the Swedish navy. When the funeral
barge arrived at the landing stage the
governor of Stockholm formally received
the body, which was then borne by
American sailors to large pavilion,
handsomely decorated in black and gold,
which had been erected near the waters
edge in the park. While the body was
being carried to the pavilion bells were
tolled. An immense crowd assembled
and when the coffin was placed upon the
bier dozens of wreaths and other floral
emblems were heaped up around it.
The services were very simple, consist
ing OF singing of Swedish hymns and
the recital of poem. When the serv-
ices were completed the body was de-
posted in hearse and the funeral pro-
cession was formed. In it were repre-
sentatives of the king, the crown prince
and the government officials, the Amer
ican ministers to Sweden and Denmark,
officers OF the warship Baltimore and

Montana Tax Lew.

The tax levy for state purposes in
Montana this year will be two mills on
the dollar. This is the rate that has
been in force for several years. The
fifteenth territorial legislature fixed it
at that and the sixteenth made no
change. The first legislature under
state government did nothing with the
levy, SO the state board of equalization
has just decided that it must remain at
two mills. The question came up in
this way. In the state constitution of
Montana it was provided that the levy
should not exceed three mills on the
dollar. AS the first state legislature had
done nothing towards fixing the rate,
many of the county commissioners
throughout Montana were uncertain
what to do. They thought that the Or
ganiZation of Montana as a state render
ed valueless all legislation affecting taxes
enacted under territorial rule and as the
constitution fixed limit at three mills,
they were under the impression that
that should be the rate. Numerous en-
quiries were sent to the state board of
equalization, asking for information on
the subject. The board met on Satur-
day and considered the matter. 1t was
evident that the state constitution only
meant to fix maximum, and that as no
change had been made in the rate since
the fifteenth territorial legislature it
must remain at that figure. It is calcu-
lated that the assessment throughout
the state will aggregate S110,OOO,0OO, with
the levy at two mills the state will re-
ceive $4,000 in taxes. To this will have
to be added about 5125,OOO the states
of license fees. With other
receipts the aggregate may reach $780,
900 or 100000. The expenditures are
estimated at S375,OOO, so there vii be a
deficit.

Fatal Accident on the Montana Union
North Walkerville, a suburb of Butte
was the scene of terrible railroad acci
dent late Sunday night, which resulted
in the instant death of Engineer JAKE
Halter and the fatal injury of Foreman
Fitzpatrick. The Montana Union has {
switch running from Butte to the sum
NIT of the mountain on the north ano
touching at all the great mines. AL
though the grade is very heavy all the
way up the mountain and the curves
very abrupt, no serious accident had oc-
CURED until Sunday night. The train
was composed of a switch engine and
three cars of wood and was coming down
the grade back of Walkervllle, bound
for High Ore. When near the Moulton,
Engineer Halter discovered that his air
brakes were not working and called for
brakes, but too late. In moment the
train was beyond control and flying
down the hill at frightful rate OF speed.
When the Moulton switch was reached
the engine left the track and dashed
down the hill into the large brick smoke
stack standing just north of the Moul-
ton MILL. This immense pile of brick,
sixty feet in height and ten feet square
at the base, was cut off at the founda-
tion as If struck by cyclone and per-
feet avalanche of brick poured down
upon the engine. From out of all that
wreck of engine and chimney the life
less body of the engineer was taken,
crushed almost beyond recognition, but
grasping the throttle in the grasp of
death. The fireman managed to crawl
out from under the wreck unhurt
When the engine left the track the
coupling broke and the cars kept to the
rails until they ran into the debris of
the smokestack. Here the body of Fore
man Fitzpatrick was found wedged in
SO tightly that hydraulic jack had to
be used to liberate him. The remainder
of the crew escaped without injury.
The damage done cannot fall short of
$4,000 and will require ten days in re-
pairing.
Engineer Hatton was brother in law
Of Engineer Gardner of this city and at
one time was employed as switch engin-
ser in the Northern Pacific yards of this
;ity. Among the sad incidents con-
lected with the accident was the arrival
