SEVERE MINING AocIpENr.-About
2 o'clock this morning Thomas Elan
merry, working at the eighth level Of
the Hale & Norcross mine, met with a
very severe accident by the explosion
Of a blast Of giant powder which he
had just put in. The blast was an up
ward one, being some five or six feet
from the floor of the drift. When he
went to let it of, instead Of placing a
bit Of candle beneath the side of the
fuse, thus giving plenty Of chance for
escape while the thick covering Of the
fuse was being burned through, as Is
the usual method adopted In the mine,
he split the end Of the fuse and touched
the flame Of the candle directly to the
powder itself. The consequence was
an unexpectedly quick explosion OF the
blast, before the unfortunate man
could get ut all out Of the way. Strange
to say, he was not blown into inch
pieces, but simply had his left leg
badly broken. not being otherwise in
jured to any serious extent. He was
at once taken from the mine to his
clearinghouse neal by, and DR.. Bron-
son sent for, who rendered the requi-
site surgical assistance. The injury to
the leg Is a very severe one, being q
compound comminuted fracture Of the
bones of the leg between the ankle and
knee, from a flying piece Of rock, the
tibia, or larger bone, being smashed
into fragments for the space Of four or
five inches. MI. Flannery Is a much
esteemed citizen, and foreman Of Mon
umental Engine Company No. 8, on
the Divide.
CAPITAL. PUNIsHNENT.-Mrs. Laura
de Force Gordon delivered her lecture
on capital punishment at the Carson
Theatre last evening, according to ap-
pointment. The theatre was filled
with-a very attentive and a~ppreclative
audience, and her discourse, which was
a very able and eloquent n Of about
an hours duration, was frequently ap-
plauded. At the close she was unani-
mously voted a resolution of thanks,
all present highly approving the excel
lent good square logical points consti-
tutinS the principal part of her argu-
ment OH this great public question.
We are informed by some who were
present, that it was n OF the best lee
lures on the subject they ever listened
to. The audience included most OF the
State officers and members Of the Leg
islature, ETC., and we doubt not that
all listened with both interest and
and profit. Sensible men always do.
REnU1LpINe.-Tim Cronin, the we'll
known contractor, of the firm OF
Kleupfer, Virginia, informs us that
they commenced yesterday to rebuild
the brick building ON C street. In that
city, recently occupied by Legate's
restaurant, destroyed by the recent big
fire. The contract IL to complete the
building ready for occupation in thirty
days from the time of commencement.
It will be done, unless an earthquake
or some other obstruction i%nteryenes.
PosrroNED.-J. R. Myers, agent for
the sale OF tickets in the great Grass
Valley lottery, states that the drawing
| of the aforesaid lottery Is u~navoidably
postponed till March lst, when 1t will
positively take place. He will con-
tinue the sale Of tickets up to the very
day Of drawing.
