MINE DISASTER
Three Men Meet with Sudden Deatl
in the Depths of the Glengary
Mine i'm Butte.
NO WARNING COULD Be GIVEN
Unlocked. For Flood from Adjoining
Mines the Cause of the Terrible
Tragedy.

BUTTE, Aug. 1.-THE Glengary mine,
near the Parrot smelter, was the scene
OF a deplorable accident about noon to-
day, and three miners who started to
work this morning in the full vigor of
manhood are believed to nave met a
watery death in the levels below. The
precise manner in which the accident
was caused will not be known until an
investigation Of the upper level of the
Glengary is made, but it is supposed
that the large bodies of water which
had accumulated in the adjoining claims
the Monitor and the Chipmunk, in some
way found an opening to the workings
of the Glengary, and once started, car
rie everything before it. The first in
timation that anything was wrong was
when about 11.30 o'clock this forenoon
the miners employed on the west drift OF
the lOOfoot level heard the sound Of
rushing waters, which came pouring in
| from the west side. The water came in
with noise like hurricane and quick
fly filled up the Level.
| THE FRIGHTENED MINERS
started at once for place of safety, and
began climbing through the slopes to
the surface, which they reached IN
safety. 1t was in the levels in the Slopes
below the 1OO.foot level, however, that
the water got in its deadly work
Michael Brady. a man about 30 years o
age was working in stope; few feet
above the 2OO.foot level James Morgan
about 2G years of age, and Joseph Curry
aged a, two rugged sons of the north OF
England, who had been employed at the
mine about four months, were stopping
between the 300 and l00-foot levels
The water poured through the drift
and down the slopes and shaft unit
the mine was filed to near the 100 foo'
level. When the water ceased it shran
to the 200 foot station and
\ RESCUING PARTY
at once set about to see what could b
done to save the men below. While a

men got as far as the 200 foot static
where they hoped to find Brady The

THE SITUATION IN sTATU QUO.
The Board Of Trade Will Not Interfere
with the LongshoremenT Trouble.

With the Longshoremen Trouble.
Mayor McDonough received the reply
of President Purse of the board of trade
yesterday morning to his letter request
ing the board of trade to take action re-
garding the difference between the long
shoremen and the ship brokers for the
purpose of bringing about an agreement
between the two parties.
AS stated in yesterdays MORNING
News, President Purse declined to inter
fere in the matter. on the grounds that
the question being one strictly affecting
the cotton interests the cotton exchange
must be first appealed to. In replying to
Mayor McDonough he said: "While | am
satisfied it will be the expressed desire of
the directors and every member of the
board Of trade to support and sustain YOU
in your laudable efforts 10 harmonic any
conflicting interests at this port that its
commerce may not suffer or be disturbed
by unhappy misunders landings between
employers and employed, l am equally
sure that the members of the board of
trade will feel that as the cotton trade is
the sole commercial interest now directly
disturbed and as that interest is under
the especial care of the Savannah Cotton
Exchange, they have no right to force
their services upon the parties 10 the
present contention with a view to an ami
cable adjustment Of the same, or take any
other action in the premises until some
special interest of the board of trade be-
comes involved"
President Purse assured Mayor Melon
ough that the cotton exchange would
have the hearty cooperation of the board
of trade in any effort it might make for
the adjustment of the differences between
the longshoremen and the brokers
Mayor McDonough was seen yesterday
by a MORNING NEWS reporter. He said
he had not had time to consider President
Purses letter. Anyway he said, he
should do nothing further at once What
further steps he would probably take
Mayor McDonough could not say, but he
said that he would probably address a let
ter TO President Cam of the cotton ex-
change tomorrow on the line suggested by
Capt. Purse. The mayor did not say posi-
lively he would do so. but it appearedvery
probably from the manner in which he
spoke that he would. THIS will put the
matter where it is generally considered
to properly belong, and that body can
then attempt the adjustment of what is
generally considered a very serious mat
ter. 1t is not expected that any further
steps will be taken by either side pending
the result of the Efforts Of the mayor TO
bring about a compromise through the

THE RIPPLE AT THE BOTTOM.
Sunk at Abercorn and the Crew Hav,
Narrow Escape.


The tug Ripple of the Atlantic Con-
tracing Company, employed in the jetty
work, is sunk at Abercorn, some distance
above the city. The snagboat Satilla
went up yesterday to raise her.
The Ripple sank while mQored to the
bank of the river night before last. She
is lying in feet of water, with only her
pilot house and smokestack above water
at high tide. The boat sank about 3
O'Clock in the morning, her officers and
crew barely escaping before she went
down, some of them without even saving
their clothes. Capt. Bailey lost his watch
and his pocketboOk
The engineer, who was sleeping below,
was awakened by the water rushing into
the hull, ana gave the alarm that the boat
was sinking. The men scrambled out
and jumped for the shore. The tug was
under water when the last man got off
from the top of the pilot-house
The cause of the accident is unknown
Capt. Bailey says the boat was all right
at l o'clock-two hours before she sank.
The engineer tells the same story. There
was considerable load of hay and forage
on the forward deck, which had become
wet in the heavy rain the night before,
and caused the bow of the boat TO sink
some, and then she careened and went
over. Her machinery is not believed to
have been injured except by the water
This is the fourth time that the Ripple

The Body of W. D. Mcfarland to Reach
Savannah This Morning.


The bodyof Mr.. W. Duncan Mcfarland,
who died in East Helena, Mont, last
Sunday. from the result of injuries re
ceived the dav before, will reach Savau-
nah this morning and will be taken to the
residence of Mr.. d. b. Hull, No. II VALID
burg.street. The funeral will take place
at O'Clock this afternoon from MIR Hull's
residence The intermeut will be in Bona
venture
Mrs. Mcfarland and her brother, Mr..
W. n. Aldrich, arrived from New York
yesterday afternoon.
The facts connected with the accident
which resulted in the death of Mr.. Nc
Earlaud are not yet known. The only in
formation the family has is contained in
a letter to Mr.. Aldridge, who is manager
of the United Smelling aud Refining
Works Company where the accident oc-
Cured, from one Of the officials OF the
company.
The letter states that the accident was
about o'clock Saturday afternoon. MIR.
Mcfarland had been weighing ears IN
place Of the weigh master who was sick
The switch crew was late and the prOba-
bility is that Mr.. Mcfarland was helping
in the work. The engineer saw him run
along train, but did not see what he was
doing. The next minute he saw him come
stun bling out from between the cars
which. the suppOsitiOn is, he intended TO
uncouple. The train was stopped as
quickly as possible, and, as soon as ii was
seen that Mr.. NacEarlaud was seriously
injured. he was placed in a car and taken
TO Helena, where he was removed to a
hospital. His feet and ankles were
crushed, but the physicians were
confident they could save one
foot without amputaton; and, perhaps
both The young man remained con-
sclOus, but made no intelligent statement,
except that he had run race with box
car The physicians were not appre-
hensive Of the result, but during the night
Mr.. Mcfarland began to sink, and died
the next afternoon at 3 o'clock. Death
resulted from the shock.
That is the only information that has
been received from Helena. AS soon as
Mrs. Mcfarland and Mr.. Aldridge re-
rected that his body be forwarded to Sa-
vaunah.
M Mcfarland was q years old. At
the death of his father, the late DR.. J. T.
Mcfarland, in this city in 1888, he went
10 Brooklyn, and from there to Sheffield,
Ala, where he was connected with the
coal and iron business. From there he
went to Marietta, where he was auditor
of the Marietta and North Georgia rail
road He left Marietta a little more than
year ago to take position in the United
Smelling and Refining Company's works
at East Helena with his uncle. He was
soon promoted to a position of response
blllty in the cOmpany's office, which he
held up to the fatal accident

F. NJ. JONES DEAD.
Three Score and Seven His Allotted
Years OF Life.

Years OF Life.
Francis Marion Jones, a well-known
citizen, died last night at s o'clock after

wright. During the war he was a con-
federate naval constructor, and superin-

ness. In conjunction with his

posite the city, which owing to a lack of
funds was never completed, though it

rules Of the board Of trade cannot affect
private agreements, and the exporters do
not expect TO buy naval stores until the
factors agree to pay this expense, for
which they are alone responsible We
see no reason why we should buy naval
stores ana then pay some charge in ad-
vance IN order TO get the goods
FROM A FACTORS STANDPOINT.
Mr.. j. p. Williams, one Of the promi-
nent factors, said the action Of the board
Of directors was simply a change of the
rules and was looked on by the factors as
a very righteous change. II is in accord
ance with the resolution adopted by the
factors, and the factors viii stand by it.
II any Of the buyers resign from the
board OF trade, Mr. Williams said, they
will still have to deal with men who are
mem bers Of the board, and they will have
10 abide by its rules, so the situation, so
far as the buyers are concerned will re-
nam unchanged by their resigning. Mr..
Williams said the factors. as well as all
the other members of the board Of trade,
are amenable to its rules, and have to
ABIDE by them For the next ten days,
until the new rule becomes a law. the 3
cents rolling charge will be paid by the
factors. but after that time it will be
charged to the buyers according to the
rule adopted
DON'T UNDERSTAND IT.
Another factor spoke on the same line,
saying he did not see what the buyers
could gain by resigning from the board
as they would still have to deal with
members of the board whenever they
bought rOsin or spirits and those mem
Ders, he said, would be bound by those
rules. Members of a trade, hesaid, never
gained anything by disconnecting them
selves with an institution which was de-
voted to its interests, and he did not be-
heve the buyers could do so. He said the
factors would not yield to any demand
they made with regard to a change
from the buyer to the fac
tor in paying rolling charge II would
be charged in all bills to the buyer. he
said, under that rule, and unless the
buyer chooses to pay it he cannot get the
stuff
Thus it stands. The buyers are dissat-
lsfied with the new rule which the board
has adopted, and the factors insist that
they will adhere to it. The buyers
threaten TO resign, but the factors say
that will accomplish nothing. So the
matter seems as yet unsettled.
