UNION MEN WOULD BUY THE STOCK Proposal Made by Miners Look' ing to the Resumption of Operations in Amalga mated Plants. Offer of 5100 a Share to the Stockholders at Largely At tended Meeting. JUDGE CLANCY CRITICISED Scored for Taking More Interest In Hunting Trip Than In - Crisis Which Has Come Up. Butte, Oct. 24. An unexpected move was made In the Amalgamated Copper situation today, when a proposition waa made by the miners' union to John Macglnnis, vice-president of the United Copper Company, and his associates connected with the Montana Ore Pur chasing Company, to purchase their slock in the Boston & Montana Com pany. The union would then dismiss the proceedings against the Boston & Montana Co.. so that there could be a general resumption of the Amalga mated mines, smelters and various other plants throughout Montana. At a special .neeting of the union, at which about 3000 miners attended. It was de cided to offer Macglnnis and Forester $500 a share for their 100 shares of Bos ton It Montana stock. A similar offer waa made for stock In the Parrot Cop per & Silver Mining Company at a rate not to exceed $100 a share. The union passed a resolution suggest lng the need of an adequate law to meet emergencies of the present char acter, and calls upon the governor to convene the legislature to enact legis lation that will correct the evils, and to Impeach any public officer who may be proven guilty of malfeasance In office. . Judge William Clancy was severely criticised In the resolution, reference being made to a statement made by Clancy yesterday In court to the Amal gamated attorneys, that.hle return to the city depended largely on the suc cess attending his efforts to kill a bull elk and a few rabbits. A report that John Macglnnis had left the city shortly after the decision' of the, miners' union to purchace hto stock in the Boston & Montana mine was made known created excitement among the miners and thousands of them gathered about the railroad depots.

Dunbar 0 Place in Astoria for FOURTEEN LIVES HAVE BEEN LOST Disaster Attended With Fright ful Consequences Occurs in Tunnel in New York Struts. A Subway Suddenly Caves in, Burying Body of Laborers - Beneath Stone. ' ' ONLY FOUR REMOVED ALIVE Men Had Just Entered Tunnel When Explosions Caused Collapse of a Mass '' of Bocks. New Tork, Oct. 21. A frightful ac cident, which will result In the 'death of -12 or 14 men, occurred 'ate this evening ' in the "subway" at One Hundred and Ninety-fifth street and Broadway. At . midnight six men, two of them dead, had been removed from the tunnel. It is believed that 12 others were In the shbway when the accident occurred and that all have perished. A colored man employed on the work was the only eye-witness to the dis aster, and his story ia the only one ob tainable. He statea that an electrician had gone Into the mouth of the tunnel for the purpose of stringing wires, and that the man was followed by 17 or IS Italian laborers. Scarcely had the men entered the subway when three blasts were heard, followed by a rumbling sound and.the falling ;f rock. The men were caught beneath the falling mass and all but four of them were doubtless killed. .'-,.. '' Of the six men who had been taken from the subway nt midnight, two weres dead and four, were severely Injured. The dead bodies of two other men were lying In plain view, with great rocks upon them. It Is thought that 10 other men were crushed beneath the mass of stone, and there la little hope that they will be taken out alive. The accident probably resulted from a premature explosion, or may t have been due to failure to give warn- lng of the blasts that were set off at the time the men entered the tunnel. Tha matter will be Investigated and re sponsibility for the disaster placed at the door of the negligent persons. - Dunbar's Fine Goods
