SERIOUS MINING AocrDENT.-At l
o'clock last night or this morning an
accident occurred at tho Hale s Nor
cross mine, resulting in the serious
injury Of Mr.. W. McCleery, M Of the
miners. The accident was In conse-
auence Of the overwinding Of the wire
rope on the reel, raising the cage to
the sheave or pulley at the top Of the
holstlng frame rel the shaft from
which point It dropped 1900 feet to a
platform below tho eighth level. At
the moment Of the parting Of the rope
several persons were engaged working
directly under the cage, but Fortunate
ly tho majority OF them escaped by
jumping under the wall plates or side
timbers Of the shaft. Such was the
force Of the cage In its descent, that
the platform upon which 1t struck,
composed of timbers sixteen inches
square, was cut through. The safety
clutches Of the cage were disarranged
by Its being wrenched and twisted out
Of shape when drawn up to the sheaye,
and consequently would not act, aud
were Of no use to impede the cage in
its terrific descent. Tho engineer In
charge was Mr.. w. D. Andrews. There
are no marks upon the injured man,
and none Of his bones arc broken, but
he is thought to be fatally injured In
ternally. He not being able to ex-
plain, 1t Is not known whether he Is
suffering from tho effects Of the con-
cussion produced BY the dropping Of
the cage, or from the nervous shock to
his system. It vas currently reported
this morning throughout Virginia and
Gold Hill that s. G. Baker and Sam
Wilson were both killed or fatally
injured by this same accident, but we
are right glad to state that there Is
nothing In It to that effect.
Miss ANTHoNY's LEcrURE.-The lee
ture of Miss Susan B. Anthony, at Ma
tional Guard Hall, Virginia, last oven
Ing, was very we'll attended, although
the evening was bitter cold, with a
clustering wind which blew the driy-
Ing sleet furiously through the streets
and into every crack n crevice OF
everybody's dwelling. A colder and
more uncomfortable audience We never
saw, but all hands kept their places,
shivering, till the talented lady had
spoken the last word, when they rush
49,. O., .aoroh IF MO RIM nnal MiaS
Anthony's subject was the "Power OF
the Ballot" and all present will agree
with US in saying that 1t was the most
able lecture on the subject ever given
In this section. It was totally unan-
swerable, even by the most obstinately
bigoted speaker, writer or satirlst, es-
pecially If too illiberal to attend and
learn q little good, sound, practical
sense, In the matter Of who have really
the best right to the ballot, and who
would be best benefited by 1t. Had
tho evening been pleasant the hall
would have been crowded to overflow
ing. We are sorry that Miss Anthony
was unable to give another lecture
here, as she was obliged to leave Tor
Reno to-day, where she was to meet
Hon. A. A. Sargent, U. 5. Senator
elect from California, and Mrs. Laura
De Force Gordon, with whom she Is to
90 overland to Washington.
SKATING CARNIVAL AND BALL.-We
have been requested by the manage
ment to state that the report that
masks we're to be worn at the grand
skating carnival and ball to DO given
at Miners Union Hall, Gold Hill,
Christmas night, is incorrect. NO
masks ut all will be worn, whatever
may be the costume Of the guests. A
committee has been selected to pre-
serve order and see that no improper
characters are admitted. A.: l.. hea,
tho well known caterer, will furnish
the supper. and tickets for the same
can be obtained of the committee.
Jake White will run stage or sleigh
from the International Hotel, Virginia,
from Z p. II. to 3 A. NJ. for the accom-
mediation Of parties residing at Vir-
ginia. See advertisement.
BRnL1ANr SUccEss.-The ball Of
Neptune Hose Co. No. 8, at National
Guard Hall, Virginia, night before
last, was a most gratifying success In
every respect. The hall was taste
fully decorated and we'll filled with o
most agreeable company. The music
was firstrate, and everybody enjoyed
themself hugely. The young gentle
men of the company sent out carriages
for their guests, and certainly did the
agreeable throughout In the most APP
proved style, v to passing around
lemonade to the ladies occasionally.
Altogether, 1t was one Of the most
agreeable, satisfactory and we'll man
aged balls ever given at Virginia.
