house and the one Immediately below it
is an alley about four feet wide-came
home about II o'clock and found an ash
box, filled with live Goals, against the
side OF his house. He was Just in time
to prevent obstructive fire. As the box
was not placed in that dangerous posi-
uon by any one connected with either
mouse situated upon the alley, we are
left to the almost irresistible conclusion
that it was the work of some vile incen-
diary. That there are those here who
would not scruple to fire a building in
furtherancs Of their plundering schemes
we have not doubt, and therefore
greater watchfulness and vigilance, if
possible, should be observed by the Off
GERS. The people themselves should be
careful about emptying out ashes or leav-
ing them in wooden vessels. A little
thoughtlessness in such matter may
result in disastrous fire.
MELANCHOLY DEATH. Captain S. G.
Baker, of whose serious injuries mention
has already been made, died at o'clock
on Sunday afternoon, having previously
suffered the amputation of his left leg.
A fatality seems to attend the family of
which deceased was a member. One
brother was killed by n railroad accident,
near Providence; another lost his life by
steamboat explosion; another was
among the lost by the wreck of sailing
vessel; and the deceased was hurried to
aptemature grave by IN explosion in o
mine. Capt Baker was native of Bos-
ton, where his mother now resides, and
was about 81 years of age. He was q
nephew of Mr.. Baker, of Stephens, Baker
u Co., OF Boston and San Francisco.
Deceased leaves some mining stock of
nominal value. He was a member of St.
John Lodge, +. L. A. NJ, Pawtucket, R.
l., and will be inferred to-day by his fra
ternal brothers of st. John Lodge, of
Phoebe, at O'Clock, p. m. pr
"NIGGER IN THE FENCE Some little
feeling is exhibited in this place in con-
sequence of the admission to the Phoebe
public school Of negro child. The
School Trustees are censured for per-
hitting it. When we remember that
negroes are admitted to seats in Con-
gress, sit upon the Supreme Bench in
some of the States, and allowed all the
privileges that white people enjoy, we
began to think that the negro problem
had about run it's course; but it seems
We had reckoned without our host. Ne
gro children are to be thrust into the
schools with white children as we'll! We
have long since ceased to complain of
anything.
ACCIDENTAL SHOT. Yesterday after
noon a miner was about starting on a
prospecting expedition, when friend of
his picked up a loaded pistol, remarking
playfully that he should not forget that.
The weapon dropped out of his hand and
exploded, sending ball through the calf
OF his leg. A slight wound was the re-
suit. The wound was dressed by DR..
Deal, and nothing serious will result
from it. We have not learned the name
| of the wounded man. This circumstance
should be warning to people to handle
firearms with great care.
A CASE Of malicious mischief was
brought to the notice Of the proper au.
thorities yssterday-the complainant be-
ing of the female persuasion and the de.
PENDANT of masculine proclivities. The
mischief consisted in the wanton up
setting OF a small clubhouse on the prem
ises-a very necessary adjunct to any
human habitation. 1t is proper to re-
mark that the contents of the small
building referred to were not disturbed.
The Phoebe Theatre is now the prop
erty of o. p. Sherwood, and John Ma
guire has taken the full management OF
the same for three months. Several
alterations in the plan of the
building are contemplated previous to
the beginning of the next dramatic sea.
