A Spark From One to the Other and q
Miner Blown to Pieces.
HELENA, Mon, Sept. 1.-The Last
Chance mine, adjoining Stray Horse
mine, near Winston, was the scene Of a
horrible accident, particulars of which
have just reached this city. Martin
Olney and Gus Stull were working
near the face or the drift fixing some
giant powder preparatory to blasting,
Olney was smoking pipe, and while
fixing the cap spark fell into
it. The cap exploded, which
in turn exploded the powder, The re-
port was terrific. Olney was blown
almost into an unrecognizable mass
Both the poor mans arms and legs were
torn from his trunk, as was also his
head. The dismembered portions of the
body were badly torn. Gus Stull was
not killed, but badly injured. Every
stitch of the clothing the man had on
was torn from him, leaving nothing on
him but hatband around his head.
Olney was buried at Winston under the
auspices of the Miners union.

nearly an hour and half and in that

bers of the committee as to the form

take. The matter was discussed at
great length and from 20 to 30 drafts of
platforms and portions Of platforms
were submitted The most favorable
attention of any of the platforms sub
mitted is that of the Wisconsin state
convention, and the general impression
prevails among those who have been dis.
cussing the matter that when the plat
form is adopted it will be very closely
on the lines of the Wisconsin platform,
with such additions as may be found
necessary after the committee has fully
considered the matter.
AS the discussion progressed III the
committee, it was clearly apparent that
there would be no declaration Ill favor
of an income tax or looking toward it,
The ub-committee intends to make
the platform very short, and express its
declarations with terseness. While de-
claring for the retirement of the green.
backs to be replaced with banks of issue,
it is not the intention to prescribe the
form of the legislation and the planks
heretofore offered OH this subject will be
modified to meet the requirements.
