Frightfully Burned BY Molten
Copper,
THE FURNACE EXPLODED
At the Butte and Boston Shelter
John Roger Badly Burned But
Will Recover.

Harry Maughtin died at Murray &
Freudn's hospital about $3.50 o'clock this
morning from the effects of burns and
injuries received by the explosion of a
matte furnace, which occurred at the
Butte 4 Boston smelter shortly after
midnight last night. Maughtin was ter
ribly burned, more han half the surface
of his body being a mass of charred and
blistered flesh. His hands We're burned
to a crisp, and his left leg was crushed
between the knee and ankle.
John Roger, who was with Maughtin
when the explosion occurred, is also at
the hospital and in a very serious condi-
ton. but will probably recover. Around
his body, near the waist line, is a strip
of blistered flesh two inches Wild and
half the surface of his back is blistered.
His hands and face are also badly burn
ed.
The explosion was one of the most ter
rife that has ever occurred in the Butte
snelrers. The charge of this particular
furnace had been SKINNED preparatory
to dumping in a car load Of wet precipi-
tates. The precipitates were dumped into
the furnace and Immediately afterwards
the furnace exploded with a terrific re-
port. The furnace was wrecked and
molten copper was thrown in every direc-
ton. Roger N Maughtin We're under
the furnace and We're covered with the
lNlIlS HlOilSI IOppGI. AS QUICKLY DIS pos
sibie the men were taken out Of the place
and removed to Murray & Freund's hos
pital. They arrived at the hospital about
! o'clock. The surgeons quickly ascer-
tanned that Maughtin's injuries were such
that his recovery was out of the question.
Lying on the operating table he begged
piteously for the administration Of an
opiate TO put him out Of pain. He re-
ceived every attention but san gradually
until $3.50 this morning, when he sue
cumbed.
Maughtin was about 80 years Of age and
leaves q wife and three children, who re-
sid at No. 1918 Chicago avenue. He was
a native of the Isle of Man, and had been
In Butte about two years. Prior to COM
ing to Butte he resided in Granite.
Henry Maughtin, a brother. lives in Ana
conda, and in response to a telegram ad-
vising him of his brothers condition, he
came to Butte on an early morning train.
Coroner Phil Julien was notified and
took charge of the remains and an in
quest will be held tomorrow night.

TRIAL RESUMED.
MOTION OF NON-SUIT OvERRULED
BY THE COURT

In the St, 900 damage suit of John Zelner
against j. e. Oppenheimer, an action
having its origin in the collapse of the
York block in 1897, Judge Lindsay today
overruled the motion for a non-suit,
which was made yesterday by the plain
tiff, on the ground that the defendant
had not filed a reply to the answer of the
plaintiff when the answer contained
new matter, and the taking of testimony
was commenced. The point at issue in
the motion hinged on the allegation as
to Whether the answer really contained
anything not in the complaint.
The plaintiff testified to the fact that
he was at work in the building at the
time it fell and described the extent of
his injuries as a result of the accident.
1t was ten days afterwards. he said, be-
fore he could do a reasonable days work.
He had suffered considerable pain and
had never fully recovered from the eff
fects of his experience.
On cross-eNamination Mr.. Zelner said
he was a carpenter of several years ex-
perience. but he did not KNOW that the
building would be particularly weakened
by the removal of the partition. He did
not know that the false props were being
renewed. as he was at work up stairs u
had not investigated the condition of the
structure.
The case was on trial at a late hour and
promised to consume the entire day.

NO STRIKE AT GAS WORKS.
TROUBLE CAUSED BY A DEFECTIVE
PUMP.

A rumOr was current on the streets
this morning to the effect that the poor
gas service experienced by the patrons
Of the Gas company for a short time last
night was due TO labor troubles between
the w%orkingmen and the company.
r.. s. Feurtado. manager Of the Butte
Gas Light and Coke company was seen
by an Inter Mountain reporter in regard
to this rumor this afternoon.
You can say for me-" said he, that
there is nothing whatever in this story.
The trouble vas due to a new air pump

Apparently General Butler has a soul
above red tape and is disposing his troops
as they arrive without regard for the ORR
gInal scheme of organization, but in ac-
cordance with the actual military re-
quirements. If all arrivals have been
reported over IS, 900 troops have reached
South Africa of which nearly 5000 have
been sent to Durham and about 1000 to
East London. while over 5000 have re-
manned at Capetown. This distribution
of forces serves to Indicate that the sitl1-
alton at Ladysmith cannot be regarded
by General Butler as critical for other
wise he would not have detained so large
a force at CapetoWn.

George who was chosen for the two
year term and whose time expires
next year, 1t is an important posi-
ton and there are number OF good
men mentioned as asplrants and pro-

it stated in the papers that Mr..
George w. Landram, the county
clerk of Livingston county, is or will
be candidate. While we would not
disparsge the claims of the other gen.
tlemen, it would afford US the most
pleasure to see Mr.. Lsndram elected.
Not especially because he is our neigh
bor, that of course very properly has
its weight, but because he is a deserv-
ing Democrat and man capable OF
filling the post With credit to himsel
and party and to the best interests o.
the State. He has excellent business
qualifications, which means that he j.
man of good judgement, capable OF
grasping business proposition and
handling it in practicable sensible
way, and that is merit that needs t.
be, at all times, conspicuous in all
public tfices, and especially in thi
one. lie is a man of discretion, in.
dustry and honesiy-three virtue
that go towards fitting him for thi
place. His business training together
with his experience as clerk and HE
extensive knowledge of men ard
affairs all eminently qualify him ior
the position. His Democracy is o.
he earnest, active kind and upon al
occasions when and where work 70,
his party and its principles was nee
cessary, he has been found in the en-.
gagement and his service has Away
been valuable.
We hope the Democratic memb'r
