which resulted In Andy S%trominger, a
miner, having his skull so badly frac-
tured that he Is not very likely to re-
cover. lie was on the cage with two
others going down the shaft, when a
stone falling from q point about 600
feet above struck the boiler iron roof
OF the cage with terrific force, doubling
the edge down and hitting Strominger
on top Of the head. He was knocked
senseiess, and as luck would have 1t he
fell from the cage into q station they
were just passing, where he was found
shortly afterward with no other injury
than that Of his head. He was taken
to his residence on the grade, back OF
the old Alpha works, where he has a
wife and two children. DR.. Hall, who
attends him, says he has q fearful
scalp wound some six inches in length,
made apparently by the edge Of the
cage roof, and his skull 10 very badly
fractured. n piece about the size offs
dollar being broken out, leaving the
brain exposed. Mr.. Strominger Is
about 40 years of age and a very steady
Woodworking miner and good citizen.
He remains nearly or quite uncon-
scious, and his injury will probably
prove fatal.
EprroRrAL AssIsrANT.-As will be
seer by due notice under the appropri-
ate head, George w. Cassidy, editor Of
the Eureka S~sntinel, has taken unto
himself an editorial assistant In the
shape Of n wife. This will no doubt
prove an advantageous arrangement,
for, with the scissors, she Is probably
an expert, and could thus efficiently
edit the news selections from the ex-
changes. George Is q handsome man,
and Is now, without doubt, perfectly
happy and domestlcally content. He
has our sincerest fraternal wishes to
that OBJECT. The Carson Register, In
commenting upon this agreeable cpl
sode, says: ave congratulate Cassidy
on his choice, for he has married a
lady universally esteemed by all who
had the pleasure Of her acquaintance
in Carson and elsewhere, and 1t will
be his fault if he Is not n happy man."

SERIOUS AccIpEST.-Oliver Crom-

against a rail fence. In raising 1t by
the muzzle one Of the hammers caught
