FATAL LEAP.

An accident occurred at or near Ma

past eight o'clock yesterday morning,
which caused the death Of a Mr.. Yea
ger, formerly of Dalles City, Oregon.
Mr.. Yeager had lately come down
from Oregon to San Francisco, and his
wife had come to this county and was
visiting with a family near Mount
Eden. Yesterday morning Mr.. Yea
ger started on the seven o'clock train
from San Francisco to visit his wife,
and by mistake, 1t Is supposed, rode
past the station where lie should have
gotten of, aud finding out his mistake,
Jumped from the train while 1t vas GO

with great force aud received Il blow
upon the back OF his head. which broke
through his skull. One of his legs was
also broken. He was taken TO San Lee
andre by the San jose down train, for

rich diamond deposits, put forth by
the parties In interest ut the outsel,

compromise IA finally made, the

partmentS Of the safe, an adjoining

b STRIKES

Strikes and ruiuors Of strikes are
most unusually prevalent at the pres
ent time. indeed more so than at any
other time anybody remembers OF.
Our kilograms Of Saturday state that a
perfect mania for strikes pervades ali
England-the chairmakers, coal men,
silk weavers, stone masons, bakers, Ell
gineers, stone and earthenware manu-
factirers, painters, bricklayers, and
cabinet makers all being on the strike
Even the post office employees have pc,
titioned for an advance Of wages, and
tae journeyman butchers have united
for tne7 purpose Of getting higher wa
ges. There obviously must be a reason
for this state Of affairs, and the real
cause, no doubt, consists In the higher
cost Of living and the neeessarieS Oh
life as compared with the past anu
the consequent inadequate rates o.
wages, which have not Increased ac-
cordingly. In other words the .reia-
tive value of money has decreased
within the last few years, and 1t
will not purchase what 1t used to.
The Increase Of wages lisa necessity and
doubtless be met with proper appreci'
alton and concession on the part Of the
employers, as IL should. This striking
mania prevails not only In other parts
of Europe, but to a great extent In thu
Atlantic section Of the United States.
and to a slight degree on the Paciilr
coast. Here In Nevada We are no,
troubled with that kind Of "strikes."
The cost Of living Is reasonable, and
wages good. The Miners Union has
regulated and established the wages OF
miners at a good fair rate. such as the
miners are willing to work at. and
which will be continued rs long as cap
ital Is plenty to work the mines with.
or as long as capital and labor coli
tinue to operate tremendously to
gether.

The idea that many Of Greeley's
