quills in addition. Alpine hats for out
Ing wear are also seen. and some close
shapes resembling the old fashioned
English walking hat. Perasols are, on
the whole, less trimmed than In former
years. Although many are lavishly
adorned with lace, ruffles, puffings and
flowers, the majority are without trim
mings and are of changeable, lowered
checkered or striped silk.
There has been a return to hats and
bonnets OF drawn tulle and mousseline
de sole. These are very delicate and
light and are pretty accompaniment
TO dainty summer gowns. Roses are
seen In great abundance, and dahlies
and hydrangeas are also in evidence.
The dahlia is flower easily copied in

so regular, solid and stiff-but when

times the case, the eye refuses to be
satisfied with the limitation. More or
less tall trimming is still worn.

THEY LOST THEIR LIVES
BUTTE MINERS ARE CRUSHED Br
4 FALLING CAGE.
Foreman Ryan, Dropping Down the
1900 Foot shaft, Is Dashed
to Pieces.

Butte. Mont. Aug. 1S.-The st. Law
renee mine Of the Anaconda company was
the scene of another fatal accident this
evening, by which at least three men have
lost their lives. Some rumors place the
list of dead as high as Is.
The accident occurred just before the
men quit work this evening, about $50
O'clock Foreman Peter Ryan came up
from the 60O-foot level TO the surface. 1t
was his custom to come up a few minutes
before the miners. He had just reached
the surface, and was about to step off
the cage, when it dropped down the shaft
with the velocity of lightning, carrying
him with it. An instant later the big
hosting engine went to pieces, the brake
reel and other portions of 1t going through
the roof and landing on the hillside
hundred feet from the engine room.
Jim Murphy was the engineer on duty
at the time, and Tim Warren the brake
man. Warren says that after Ryan had
been hoisted to the surface. he put on the
brake, at the same time unclutching that
side of the engine. The brake, for some
reason, refused to work. and before he
could think a second time. he was horri-
fed to see the east reel travelling at
| terrific speed. A few seconds later 1t had
attained such momentum that 1t flew to
pieces.
In the shaft below were four of the
sinking crew, two of whom We're work
ing in the east shaft. The last station is
cut at the 12OO-foot level, and the men
were about 80 feet below the station. They
were John Manning and John Campbell.
AT the 12OO-foot level there is a stout bulk
| head, but it is believed that IL would yield
to the weight of the cage falling dis
lance of 1900 feet. and in all probability
the two men who were at work under
meath were killed. Their bodies have not
yet been recovered. The shaft from the
12OO-foot level down to the bottom Is COW
cred with debris and broken timbers,
which will have to be cleared away be-
fore the bodies can be reached.
There is no doubt as to the fate OF
Ryan. He was undoubtedly dead before
the cage struck the bulkhead of the 1900
foot level. OF the other men in the shaft
it is thought more than likely they me-
death in the debris which fell down the
shaft after the cage struck the bulkhead
Superintendent Jack O'Nen was unable
to state just how many were dead. bu
gave the coroner the names OF the abov'
three. Ryan was the foreman OF the st
, Lawrence. He was married man
] Campbell is also a married man. Man
4 ming was unmarried. 1t is said that Thu
was his first shift at the mine, and h
3 only went to work at o'clock this aft
l ernOon.

Most Complete Sets Yet Sent Out by
Uncle Sum.

Washington, Aug. 16-The Blgener
maps of the United States. issued by the
general land office for this year, have
just been sent out. rhe result of the
work OF engraving and printing is one
of the most complete and finely executed
sets yet issued by the government. One
feature is the division of the country
into sections. marking various cessions
and purchases from other governments.
The tracts covered in the original IL
colonies and Gadsden purchase. the Tex
as annexation, cessiors Of Louisiana,
Alaska. Mexico and Florida are clearly
set out for the first time. Commissioner
Lamoroux is the originator of the Ideas.
Only a limited number of maps have been
issued, and a large saving over previous
years is made in the contract price of 81
cents each 10 the government.

shows whence His Income Was De-
rived and VIII Give Particu-
lars, IL Desired.

Upper Red Hook. N. Y, Aug. 1S-Will-
lam j. Bryan, for the first time since Sen
ator John NJ. Thurston, as alleged. de-
clared that he (Bryan) was in the employ
of the mine owners, has made an official
denial coupled with a challenge to the
national republican committee to come
out in the open and accuse him or forever
be silent
Mr.. Bryan's attention had been called
to the controversy between Thurston and
Stewart, and he determined tonight to
settle the matter If possible. He there
fore demands an open charge, which he
says he will refute with details of his
private life and his financial affairs.
He said tonight: 81 have already de-
MED this charge on several occasions,
but the reiteration of it by Senator Thurs
ton, a distinguished resident of my own
state, justifies me in answering it again.
/ have never at any time, or under any
circumstances, been in the employ of any
mine owners. individually or collectively,
directly or indirectly, nor have ever been
in the employ of, or paid by any bimetal-
lie league or association. Aside from my
editorial salary of about $50 per month,
paid by the Omaha World-Herald, and a
small amount derived from the legal pro-
fession, my income since my retirement
| from congress has been derived entirely
| from lectures before Chautauqua, lyceum
and lecture bureaus, which have usually
paid me a fixed sum, and from contribu-
tons made by the people of the localities
where l have spoken. In some instances
1 have received nothing at all. In mos
cases 1 have received more than enough
to pay travelling expenses.
In only two instances, l believe, ma.
my compensation exceeded 500, and il
these instances it was about 500 at one
place and about $500 at the other. Th,
first platform on which I ran for con
| gress, in 1890, before l was known pOht
ically outside of my own state, contained
a free coinage plank, and my republican
opponent that year was an advocate @
free coinage. In the campaign of 1892
again ran on a free coinage platform
In 1894 l again ran on a free coinag
platform, and my opponent for the sen
ate, Mr.. Thurston, while opposing unlim
tied coinage at 16 to l, insisted that h
favored bimetallism. / wrote the fle
coinage plank on which ran in 1890. an
the free coinage planlxs in the Nebrask
state platforms in 1891, 1894 and 1896, all
tried to secure the adoption of free coiy
age planks in the state platforms in 10
and 1893
Il only mention this to show that m
advocacy of free silver is not of recer
date. Having made this answer to NJ
Thurstons letter, l shall hereafter TAX

Cincinnati. Aug. 1s.-Fred s Rothacker.
who was stabbed Dy Attorney Charles
Lundy yesterday morning, died this morn

of self-defense will be shown. AS Lundy
is an athlete, his friends were surprised
by his use of a knife when attacked by
the two Rothackers, one of whom at least
was intoxicated. 1t appears that he was
suffering from an acute case of piles. and

CAUSED BY HALF BREED GIRL
II. w. Fountain Shot and Killed
Grant Baxter Mt Wedderburn.

Portland. Or, Aug. 1s-In an alterca-
ton at Wedderburn last Sunday H. w.
Fountain, agent of the Singer sewing ma
chine, shot and killed Grant Baxter,
man Of bad reputation and character.
The trouble was over a half breed girl,
of whom Baxter was insanely jealous.
Baxter opened the fight by striking
Fountain from behind, telling him. While
lying on the floor he drew revolver ard
began shooting. 1t snapped first, and
then Baxter shot him in the leg. Toun-
tain then pulled the trigger and the bull
let penetrated Bakers heart, the second
one striking an inch or two above. lie
died instantly.
Fountain surrendered to the authorities.
Public sentiment is in favor of Fountain,
and the general belief is that Baxter
got what he was looking for and needed.

BANGED WITH A POKER.
DIR. Pudor Takes Several Stitches in Mr..
MaIone's Head.

Officer Ball. last evening brought Into
the station VIM. Fl. Malone and Martin
S. O'Hara. According to such informa-
ton as the police could obtain. Malone,
who boards with his aunt Mrs. Kinds,
took what was called q poker, but looked
more like the iron used to lift stove
covers, and walked over to Mr.. O'Hara IS
who lives at No. so Pleasant street.
O'Hara states that Malone came at him
with blood in his eye. and assaulted him,
az proof OF which O'Hara shows con-
fusion on the forehead, but Malone de-
clares thai O'Hara assaulted him. As
O'Hara was on his own premises and
Malone lived elsewhere, it looks as If
O'Hars had the right Of 1t. Anyway he
got tho poker and gave Malone beAuti-
full black eye and a cash over the head
that required several stitches at the
hands OF DIR. Pudor. The merits Of the
affair will be decided by Judge Robinson
this morning.
