New York, Oct. 5.-Chairman Hinck-
ley, of the Democratic state committee,
said:
LAS the situation stands, I can most
emphatically state that the regular
Democratic ticket will receive the sup
port Of the Cleveland faction. AS to
whether Secretary Lamont came over
with orders from the administration to
restore harmony both in the city and
state, I am not at liberty to say, but
can tell you that L am positively as
sured that the administration men in
Washington desire most earnestly the
success of the regular Democratic
ticket headed by Senator Hill. I can
also state to you that Judge w. J. Gay
nor will, without doubt, appear on the
state ticket as the nominee for the
court of appeals. The administration
at large and all its supporters realize
that the honor of the Democracy is
now at stake, and for that purpose
they are willing to make every conces-
sion in the interest of securing Demo-
ocratic success this fall 1t is no longer
a question with the administration men

After commenting on the interest taken
by them in congregating thus early to

kinley said:
you have an opportunity to vote now
to express your opinion of the work of
the Democratic administration. The peo-
pie of this country have experienced a
revolution in political sentiment. There
has not been anything like it in Ameri-
can history. The Democratic party car
ried the country in 1895, but in every cleo
ton in every northern state since. the
verdict then given has been revoked and
the people have spoken in thunderous
tones for the Republican party and the
principles of that party. That is the
cause eff this revolution. The Democratic
president and the Democratic Congress
have been running this government for the
last nineteen months and during that

occupation has been injuriously affected

Butte, Mont, Oct. 5-[Special.l-
Chauncey w. West, conductor on the
Butte, Anaconda & Pacific. was ia
tally shot this morning by Clay Pugh,
a tramp, whom he put off the train for
stealing a ride. Pugh comes from
Iowa. He was arrested. West was
one Of the oldest railroad men in the
northwest and brought the first train
into the state when the Utah & North
ern was extended.
At a late hour tonight West was
still alive, but sinking rapidly.
His family, consisting of wife,
three daughters and son, were
brought to Butte on a special from
Anaconda and We're at his bedside con-
tinuously.
West made a dying statement to the
prosecuting attorney to the effect that
when his train pulled out OF Butte he
found Pugh stealing a ride and put
him off. After the train had proceeded
several miles he discovered that Pugh
had again jumped on the train, then he
slowed up and ordered him Qugh) off.
The fellow refused and became abus-
i've and West struck him with his
fist Pugh then walked away and
West turned to go into the caboose,
when Pugh exclaimed. You =
I'll fix yoa.' and fired two shots. Both
shots took effect in the back, one on
the right and the left of the spine.
One penetrated the stomach, and
West has been vomiting blood.
Pugh saws he has a mother and
Abrother living in Iowa and other rela-
aives in this part of the country, but
he refused to give their places of resi-
dence. After the shooting he ran
away, but several witnesses to the af-
fray gave chase, and. after firing sew
eral shots. but missing him, caught
him and turned him over to the
sheriff.
OF all the numerous murders COM
united in Butte. none has created so
much feeling as this. The town is
greatly excited. and many threats Of
lynching were heard this morning.
Groups of railroad men gathered on
the street corners and they needed but
a resolute leader to carry out their
vengeance.
Mr.. West is one of the best known
and best liked railroad men in Mon
tana, and has many large business in
terests throughout the state.
Before coming to Montana, about
eleven years ago, he was resident of
Salt Lake. where. it is said. he was a
prominent citizen and is yet well
known there.

CHANCE FOR THE LAWYERS.

San Francisco, Oct. 5.-The heirs of
the Luning estate have disagreed over
its mana cement which has been i'm the
hands of George Whittell, son-in-law
of Nicholas Luning. who died five years
ago, leaving an estate valued at $1,000
900, largely in cash and first class Sc
curties. BY the terms of the will the
estate was to be divided after certain
time among Nicholas Luning's five
children, in equal shares. The heirs in
corporated as the Luning company,
Whittell being president and general
manager. Mrs. George S. Fife, one of
Innings daughters was especially dis
satisfied with the management of the
estate in which she said she was allow

the Incorporation, accepting as her
share realty and bonds valued at $780,

the estate should have been at least
twice that amount. The Flies are pre-

Detroit, Mich, Oct. 5.-Five men are
dead, ten are more or less injured and
$4,000 worth of property was destroyed by
the burning of keenan, & Jahn's five
story furniture store on Woodward ave
nue. today. The names of the dead are;
Michael Donoghue. lieutenant of chem
ical engine company.
J. r. DEFY, pipeman.
John w. Paget, pipeman.
Julius Cummings, pipeman
Frederick Bussey, electrical worker.
The list of injured, most of whom are

Michael C. Gray.
John B. Newell.
Thomas Carr.
Patrick J. Rourke.
Leslie e. Mcnamara.
Henry Kimberly.
Henry Herig.
Fred Drahelm, injured internally; con-
dition critical.
ALI are firemen.
The fire originated at the bottom OF
the elevator shaft and swept upward
with tremendous swiftness. About sixty
five persons were at work in the upper
stories, but all escaped unhurt.
The water supply seemed at first made
quate and the building was soon ruined.
After the interior had partially burned
out, it became apparent the front and
rear walls were in danger of falling, but
Fire Chief Elliott allowed his men 10 adj
vance toward it both from front and
rear. Suddenly the front wall sagged for
ward, and the great mass of hot bricks
timber and iron crashed downward. AL
most at the same instant the rear wall
crumbled and fell to the alley in the rear.
Amid the tumult of the panic stricken
crowd rose the shrieks of the wounded
and imprisoned firemen.
Sixteen in all were in the path of the
tumbling walls, but ten escaped alive al
ter few seconds of thrilling experience.
Their comrades worked to rescue the dy-
ing and remains of the dead and all
were recovered. Their limp and crushed
remains were in some cases almost I'M
recognizable.
Chief Elliott is being roundly scored for
endangering the lives of his men,.
An investigation will doubtless follow.
