THE EVENING NEWS.

MAN KILLED IN THE SAVAGE MINE
Yesterday afternoon. James L. fatkef'
while working in a winze in this mine,
had hi, life terminated by the carelessness
of ,bose a, the windlass above, for Parker
wa, a, work below. From want Of due
~precaution in hooking the bucket on, it
fell a depth Of City feet, striking Parker on
the back of the head, tearing of the skull
and exposing the brain. His death must
have been instantaneous. The report or
decision Of the coroner's inquest we would
give in full. had we space, but the gist OF
the matter in this case was, that James /.
Parker :" came to his death through the
carelessness Of Clark D. Bush, in the at
taching Of the hook and rope to the
bucket" These cases, from similar causes
in bur mines, are becoming too numerous.
Our heart ~sickens-we dread TO approach
the record Of casualties, which almost ev-
cry day furnishes in the working Of our
mines, and from our own experience in
localizing, We have found, in nine cases in
ten, they have proceeded from gross care
less. Will there never be q remedy de-

P. D. HEDLY.-This gentleman, who
prssides over the Office Of Wells, Fargo &
Co.. Of this place, met with an accident
tina, nigh, have been very serious. under
q slight change Of circumstances He had
retired to his residence, east Of Main street,
and thought, among other things in rela-
ton TO his business while there. It might
be necessary to have his deringer loaded.
While doing this, having only powder in
the barrel, it accidentally went of, and
blew the contents into the upper part OF
his head. Il cut the skin. but did not
infict n serious wound. Had the ball
been inserted, instant death would have
been the result. Friend Hedly may con-
slider himself a very fortunate man. II Is
necessary for US to suggest caution IN the
future; the experience he has acquired
will last him as long as he lives. But this
may attract attention, and benefit others.
Town RzsBRvoIR.-In company with
Marshal Began, we paid a visit to the
town reservoir, TO see what amount OF
water wa on hand in case Of fire. Al
though covering much surface. we found,
from actual measurement. but fourteen
inches. This is a meagre supply, and IN
case of a large FIRE starting IN midst
would soon be exhausted. -Four feet In
depth is the required average. but from
some defec, in the pipes above, the, amount
in the reservoir has been reduced to the
number Of inches stated above. This
matter should be attended to at once. for
who knows bu, that the same incendiary
hands that applied the torch to Virginia,
NAV also do the same 10 Gold Hill?
Who WANTED THAT PIo.-Last night,
some individual not having the fears Of
-, or the horrors Of the calaboose "on
his BRAIN" entered the pig pen belonging
20 the Gold Hill Brewery. He seized a
7oung porker. cut his throat and COM
menced hauling him away. Piggy did
no, like this way Of departing life without
q saueal, which he gave, and awakened
the proprietor Of the Brewery. He rushed
out, and Mr.. Pig-stealer, that would have
been had he succeeded, dropped his plum
der and ran into the Miners Hotel.
SwAxEY GuARDs.-This company made
it, frss street parade last evening. No
more beautiful evening could have been
selected, and the company, for the short
period they have had in which TO organ
lie and drill. presented a most credi,able
appearance. They visited Fort Home
stead, passed the News office on their re-
turn, and gave three rousing cheers. Boys,

ScxSE OF DEsoLArIoN.-Th The burnt
district in Virginia, at night, as seen by
moonlight, looks more desols,e and awtul
than by da, light. The dark shadows Of
the walls, the moonlight streaming through
omen spaces where windows and doors
were once placed, give a peculiarly
gloomy appearance to the whole scene.
