Yesterday.
The House Now Has Eighteen Clerks to
Assist the Members in Trans.
Ing Business.

The Joint assembly attracted another
large audience to the house chamber yes
tsrday. Though it was pretty generally
understood that the Dixon men would
stand by their first choice, and not DO gov
srnsd by tho decision Of the caucus Of
Thursday night. yet many thought that at
the last moment they would 20 over to Nr.
CLARK. However. they did not. and the
ono ballot gave Sanders 81, Clark %, Dixon
8, and Mulvillea There was a great deal
of disappointment among all classes and
oil parties that the senatorial contest was
mot settled.
A. b. Hamilton gave notice In the house
yesterday that he would contest the seat
given Leech. The contest was given to the
election committee, and a. shat committee
has the power to send for Witnesses and
papers. there will undoubtedly be q thor
ough investigation Of the Box Elder bust
ness.
The house was manufacturing clerks by
Wholesale at its session yesterday. whom a
halt was called by Graves, one Of the re-
publican members from Silver Bow
county. He suggested that some Of the
committees would not need clerks all Of
the time, while all would not need them
some Of the time. and the house might wait
awhile and see how much work was to be
done. Before DO stopped the matter, how
ever, the house had provided places for
fourteen clerks.

A MANTLE

Republicans Endeavoring to Substitute
the Butte Man for Sanders.
A paper was quietly circulated among re-
publican members of the Legislature yes
terday in the interest of Mayor Lee Man
tie. of Butte. 1t is proposed to call an
other caucus Of the republicans. have Col.
Sanders withdraw as the nominee of his
party for the senatorship, and substitute
Mr.. Mantle in his place. There are a num-
Der OF republican members of the
legislature who are known to BIO very luke
warm in their support of Sanders; In fact
some difficulty has been experienced in
holding them IN line for him. and the fear
ia expressed that should the opportunity
occur to send Il republican to the senate,
these supporters would absent
themselves from the joint assembly. This,
at least, is the argument used by the Man
tie people. MIR. A. B. Hammond. of Mis-
sonia, arrived in Helena yesterday, in the
interest. it is supposed, of Mr.. Mantle.

Real Merit

weeks after more-provina that the good
results from u trial bottle warrant CON

Sarsaparilla possesses by virtue of the pe-
culiar combination, proportion m process
used in its preparation, and by which all
the remedial value of the ingredients used

FATAL FALL FROM A TREsTLE.
Harry Burnett Thrown More Than 90
Feet and Aim ost Instantly Killed.

Mr.. Harry Lee Burnett was almost in-
stantly killed yesterday afternoon by
either falling or being knocked from one
of the Seven-PInes cars while crossing the
Stony-Run trestle, about mile and ON
eighth beyond the corporate limits.
He was hurled q distance of some fifty
or more feet and when reached down IN
the rayne he was still breathing, but
could not speak, and in q few minutes his
heart aud pulse both ceased to beat. lie
was dead and had perhaps not realized
what hurt hln. A physician who was on
the car was among the first to reach the
young man. but he knew there could be
no hope.
was brought to the CITY and taken 10 the
home of his almost heart broken parents,
Mr. and Mrs. George II. Burnett, at No.
261S q street. or Venable street extended.
Later IN the evening Mir. Billups prepared
the remains for intorment, and the funeral
will take place at o'clock this afternoon
from Yenable-Street Baptist church, or
which deceased was member.
The accident happened soon after
O'Clock, but there are conflicting stories
as 20 how Mr.. Burnett came to fall from
the car. He was taking his younger bro
ther Gsaac) on an outing to Seven Pines.
and was standing on the rear platform,
while Isaac sat on one OF the seats. those
in charge OF the car were Motorman DO
heme and Conductor Palmer. The latter
said in conversation with a DISPATCH
reporter last night that the car
was moving smoothly and at q moderate
rate of speed. There was no lClt or Jar,
and he thinks Mr.. Burnett in some way
lost his balance and was precipltated into
the abyss below. Isaac and perhaps
Others who were on board were OF
the opinion that Harry was attempting to
got around to the seat occupied by his
brother. and that in so doing he swung
out too tar and was struck on the head by
a post and knocked off. The former theory
is most commonly accepted.
'Soulre Vincent. who witnessed the sad
occurrence, held an inquest and tho ver-
dict of the jury was that MIR. Burnett
came to his death by accidentally falling
from a car. The jury exonerated the car
company from any blame. The body was
not very much bruised, except about
the head. Blood flowed quite freely from
the nose and mouth.
Mr.. Burnett, who was generally known
in the eastern part of the city, was IN his
22d wear. and was held in high esteem by
a wide circle Of friends. He was young
man of excellent character. Hewa ma
chinist by trade and was employed at the
Richmond Locomotive Works. For some
time while the dummy line was running
to Sevon Pines he worked for that COM
pany.

and her parents and friends are much
alarmed because Of IT. Thoy have asked

than Miss Drake. Mr.. McGIbney is said
to have made a trip out of town at time

suggestion that they have taken the mat
ter into their own hands and eloped.
Miss Drake and Mr.. McGihney were en-
gagged 10 be married about year ago. but
without the consent of her parents. When

loved each other. but that her parents op-
posed their union and that she had been
driven from her home. She was advised
to go home, but told the friend that If she
returned home she would be arrested.

Especial telegram to tho Dlspstch.l

PETERSBURG, Va. July captain Will
liam Henderson Eanes, Chief of Police Of
this city, was killed by an accident about
10 o'clock tonight. He was attending a
meeting of the Elks Of which order he
was an active and leading member. whose
meetings are held in Pythian Hall in the
third story of Wrigtt's block, on Syca-
more street. The windows OF the passage
way leading to the ante-room OF the hall
look out upon the roof OF the stores be:
low upon which are skyliRhts OF glass Oh
about quarter of an inch thick.
MOCK INVITATIONS.
Aftor the usual work Of the lodge and
the enjoyment of light refreshments, 1t
was decided to have some mock initia-
tions, and Captain Eapes was selected as
one OF the candidates. While awaiting his
turn Captain Eanes went out through the
window upon the roof, as he had done on
several OCCASIONS before, and. IL ls tfought,
attempted to walk across the skyhght.
ABEAyY PALL.
A crash of glass and heavy fall, which
was heard some distance away on tho
street, startled the lodge meeting, and
rush was made for the windows. only 20
find the skylight broken and Captain
X.
to the street the Elks rushed. and the
work Of prizing open the front. doors ana
windows of the stores beneath was but
the work OF a moment.
FALLEN FORTY rEET.

found upon the floor Of Meyer IL Co. 3 dry
goods store. He had fallen fully forty feet
and struck upon one or the counters,
breaking oG large piece Of the wood. He
lived but a few minutes, but was unable
to speak a word.
HIS NECK BROKEN.
Examination showed that Captain
Fanos's neck was broken, his left hip dis.
located. and his head cut. The news OF
the unfortunate accident spread rapidly
and a great crowd of people gathered
about the place in little While ana nun
dreds followed the body to bis residence,
on Old street, where his wife was greatly
prostrated by the shock.
ABRAvs AND GALLANT OFFICER.
Captiau Eanes was 80 years old, and had
been Chief of Police for five years. lie
was brave and gallant officer. perfectly
fearless in tho discharge OF his dutles.
and yet as gentle and courteous rs wo;

children. He was one of the best known
andN most popular men in the community,
and tho sorrow tonight over bis death IS
universal.
COINCIDENCE.
He had always been prominent in poll
tics and was a stern and uncompromising
Democrat. He was brother OF Sherlh
Eanes. who died little under one year
AGO. and it is q singular coincidence that
he met his death on the same site on when
Lieutenant CrlchtOn, o. the police, was
