ALMOST AN ACCIDENT. YESTERDAY morn
ing, at the Spring Mount mine, the work.
men set off two blasts at the bottom of
the shaft. which is nearly 800 feet deep.
After waiting on the surface short time
only one of the blasts went off, and con-
Guiding that the other was miss-fre, one
of the men descended and again set fire
to the fuse. After he had assembled and
remained some time on the surface, it
was concluded that the charge would not
explode, and the workmen were about to
be lowered in the shaft, when the blast
at last went off. If it had exploded few
mements later, it would doubtless have
caused sad accident Accidents from
blasts which fail to explode when first
fired, have caused many a Woodworking
man to lose his life or suffer permanent
injury, and miners cannot be too cautious
in approaching them until a considerable
time has elapsed from the moment the
fuse is fired.
The REPUBLICAN PRIMARY went off
without the occ urrence of any very re-
markable incident. There was large
crowd around the polls on Lacour street,
with many persons peddling tickets,
while the whole assemblage seemed to
pay tolerably frequent visits to the
saloons in the neighborhood, no doubt
for the purpose of drinking ice water.
There were two sets of delegates running,
one of whom We're supporters of Mr..
Travis, the others were standing in for
Mr.. Hamilton. The latter came to grief,
for out of 4S3 votes, the total number
cast, the Travis delegates received 1896,
while the Hamilton ticket only found 81
supporters, giving the Travis men a ma
jorlty of 3O9.
DISTRICT CoURT.-Samuel P. Weston,
a native of England, was yesterday adj
mitted to citizenship. 49,. Another writ
of habeas corpus was sued out on the
petition of f. Sonle, who escaped from
Hamilton Jail. The return was heard by
! Judge Fuller in chambers. Messrs.
Foster and Bishop appeared for the pc
titioner and Col. Thornton for the State.
After an able argument by the counsel,
the Judge was intimatng his intention
of denying the petition when the defend
ant came forward and stated that he was
willing to return to Hamilton in the
custody Of the Sheriff of White Pine
County. This declaration of course
ended the matter and left the lawyers
nothing to squabble about.
