Her Friends,


The funeral of the late Mrs. Della
Rhyner, wife OF Prof. f. Rhyner, was
held at . p. m. Sunday and was attended
by very large number of sorrowing
friends of the deceased.
At the residence at Sl9 Sixth avenue
north the procession formed. and as the

the Great Northern band of which Prof.
Rhyner has been leader since it's organ
ization, played Nearer, My God, to
Thee"
The casket was a beautiful one, of

large number of beautiful roses lay in

lay a floral CROSS, tribute from the
band.
On the way to the First Methodist

At the church the services were opened
with prayer by the pastor Rev. +. A.
Riggi0, followed by the hymn, "Beyond
the Smiling and the Weeping" by the
choir, after which Reginald Hunt rem
dered tenor solo, "Come, Ye Dsconso-
late which was followed by a tribute

many friends as always kind, loving and
generous, ever ready to help her friends
and neighbors.

GRIMM Al LOOK
Damaging Testimony Before the Coro-
ner's Jury Engaged in
Investigating
THE HOPE MINE DISASTER
Negligence Of an Engineer, Ignorance
and ParsImOny of the Man
agenlont.

BUTTE, April l3-The coroner's in
quest in the case Of the Hope mining
disaster at Basin began this morning
and some most startling evidence is
being brought out to show that the
seven men who suffered death in the
burning mine were most cruelty left to
their fate when the fire was discovered
They twice rang for the cage to come
to their succor, but the engineer paid no
attention to the signals for reasons which
he refused to explain at the in1
quest. When he later discovered the
fire for.himself it was too late to assist
the men. Evidence also showed that
Superintendent Fletcher of the mine
was not an experienced miner, but he
said he thought the men under him
were experienced. The method of work
ing the Hope was 20 years behind the
times, and there were no means what
ever for the men to get out Of the death
trap.
State Mine Inspector Shoemaker says
that, in his estimation, it will be six
months before the bodies of the men
can be rescued. One body was found
yesterday, but since then the shat. has
filled in with sliding rock. To get the
bodies LeW ehaft must be sunk or the
present one cleaned out. Either
will cost G25.OOO. Nothing will be
done until meeting Of the stock
holders can be held. The mine owes a
great deal of money and it's creditors
may step in and take control temporarily,
which will delay getting out the bodies.
The mine is almost filled with water. II
the men escaped death from gas by
climbing up into the slopes they were
drowned soon after by water.

CAPT. JENKS AGAIN.

He Once More Takes Charge of the Mon
| tana Central as Superintendent.
G. II. jerks, formerly superintendent
of the Montana Central, but recently
superintendent of the Northern division
of the Great Northern road, arrived here
Sunday, accompanied by his family.
Capt jerks has once more been ap-
pointed superintendent Of the Montana
Central to succeed Daniel McLaren, re-
signed. 10 a TRIBUNE reporter Capt.
jerks said that he had not yet been re-
lieved at Barnesvil!e, the headquarters
of the Northern division and could not
say just when he would take charge at
Great Falls, but it will probably be
within few days, as Mr.. McLaren is
anxious to leave as soon as possible for
Cincinnati, o., where he will reside in
future. Monday Supt, McLaren and
Capt. Jenks left for a trip TO Clancy and
other points west on the line to look
over the recent improvements made
along that portion of the road.
The railroad boys are pleased to know
that Capt jerks will take the rene laid
down by Suot. McLaren, as he is ac-
quainted with most Of them, and the
changes made in the personnel Of the
staff are not likely to be as sweeping AS
is often the case where stranger comes
in control who is likely to have friends
and acquaintances of his own in the rail
road business whom he likes to surround
himself with. Capt. jerks states that
there has been a remarkable increase in
the number of immigrants coming into
western Minnesota and North Dakota
within the last two months. The influx
exceeds anything he has seen since 1888
He thinks Montana will soon receive
large accessioDs to its population when
its advantages become better Known.

powered with the heat. He made his
way down to the floor all right and re-
marked to Superintendent King that he
felt unwell. He was advised to bathe
his face in water and started for this
purpose. After walking a few steps he
fell in faint on the concrete door. How
he sustained such injuries as he did is a
mystery, but when he was picked up 1t
was found that his nose was broken, a
hole toru in one nostril and the skin
raked off the whole Of one side OF his
face. When he was brought to his
senses again he said he remembered
starting after some water and after that
all was blank.

ANOTHER HORROR
Six Men Meat Instant Death In the
Depths of the st. Lawrence
Mine, Butte.
TERRIBLE POWDER EXPLOSION
No Witness Was Left TO Tell Who
Was Responsible for the AwFul
Accident.

BUTTE, April 1l.-By al explosion in
or near the magazine on the east l,lOO-
foot level of the ST. Lawrence mine
about 4:2O this morning, six men lost
their lives. They are: Con G. Towney,
John Ouinlan, Ed Shields, James Dwyer,
John McVeigh, and Patrick O'Rourke,
None of them were married. Towney
and Quinlan were shaft men and were
due to come off shift about 6:45 The
other four men we're working in the level
beyond the magazine and were off shift
at $3.50. The magazine is situated $50
feet east Of the shaft Towney and
Quinlan are supposed to have gone to
the magazine to make their primers, but
gust how the explosion occurred is not
known, as the only ones in the vicinity
at the time are dead. Towney and Quin-
Ian were undoubtedly killed instantly.
The other four men were probably suffo-
Gated by foul air caused by the explosion.
1t is possible the men were coming out to
the shaft and were passing the magazine
or were on their way to it
when the explosion took place.
For a distance of A. feet from the
magazine toward the shaft the tagging
was blown down, together with large
quantities Of rock and earth, so il is i'm
possible to get nearer than that point at
present. \ large force of men was put
to work at once.

IT'S A CLEAN SWEEP
With Fifty Thousand Plurality for
Governor The Republicans of
the Pine Tree State Keep the
Pace Set Them by Vermont 49,
The Democratic Candidate for
ice-President Cut No Ice 80
Another Victory for Homes
Money and Protection.

Leaden skies and threatening weather
kept few voters at home in Maine, last
Monday, and the result can be told in few
words. A dispatch received Tuesday after
noon from the Boston JOURNAL says: Fifty
thousand republican plurality. Clean
sweep in verything-governor, congress-
men and legislature" This is more than
$4,000 in excess of any vote ever before re-
corded in the Pine Tree State. All the re-
publican congressman are elected by in
creased pluralities and the Legislature is
overwhelmingly republican. In 1894 it was
thought that the plurality of 5000 for
Thomas B. Reed had reached high-water
mark, but this year it is 5000 larger than it
was two years ago. Thousands of demo.
Gratis voted the straight republican ticket,
hundreds of them in Sewall's own city.
Complete returns from the 400 towns will
not be in for several days, but those yet to
be heard from will undoubtedly increase in
stead of diminish the present sweeping plu-
rality
