Two Hours OF Fearful Peril


Friday afternoon, as the 3 O'Clock
shift WAS descending in the old shaft
of the Caledonia mine, the cage,
with six men on it, stuck in the
shaft, and, before the accident was
known to the engineer, a large
amount of the cable was run down
and lay coiled above and around
them in the shaft. Their situation
for awhile was one of imminent
peril, as they dared make no At.
tempt to extricate themselves, for
fear OF loosening the cage and caus-
ing it to drop to the bottom with all
on board. Their situation being
finally made known, men descended
the pump shaft, made an opening,
and rescued them from their dan
gerous situation, after a confinement
in fearful peril of about two hours.

The GrasshOppeF.

ST. JusEPH, Mo, May 1.-The grass
hoppers have multiplied and grown like
magiein this quarter Of The State in the
past few days. Widespread aPprehen-
sion is now felt. The gardens Of some
portions of the city are literally black
with them. Some meadows in the neigh
borhood have already been greatly dam
aged. Reliable and accurate information
reveals the fact that In southwGsterly
direction from here to the Rocky Noun,
tains they exist in unparalleled numbers
Their size ia from that Of a fee to that Of
house.Ay. What they may do in their
further career is q matter Of apprehen'
sion and conjecture, In some counties Of
Kansas they have already done vast
harm. A gentleman in this city yester'
day, from Neosho, Kan, said he had seen
fields utterly destroyed in that locality
already. Their course appears to bC
southeusterly, and their progress 70 s1
tend not beyond the prairie regions. Wei
weather Is wished for, in the hope that Y
might check their career. .Ha

The warrant was placed in the hands Of
an officer and the arrest made.
The parties will appear In Court this

innocent Of any guilty intent, II will be a
matter Of regret II any serious conse.

IT WILL doubtless greatly relieve those
who have been taught to regard the Wis
con,in Changers "a "banditti" to learn
that the st, Paul Railroad suffered re-
duc,ion Of gross earnings last year OF
only $4,000! Its net earnings for the
wear rose from S2,i57,OOO to SS,0sl, 900,
or over half million. Not bad for a
year Of bad business. The general tend
ency Of railroad earnings ut the present
time is in some doubt, owing to their non
publication, which fact in itsclf affords
some presumption that they are not inn
proving. How can they improve when
the New York Central is carrying freight
from New York to Chicago for Is cents q
hundred, or 4 mills per ton per milei
The Pennsylvania pays 4per cent semi
annual, instead OF 8, and doesn't earn even
that. The Baltimore 4 Ohio keeps up it
war With grim desperation, and has re-
duced the passenger fare from Chicago tc
Pittsburgh to 81. One OF the first indica'
tons Of reviving business is an increase
in railroad earnings. This phenomenon
is already visible in France and Eng land
in marked degree, and might be perhaps
in this country, were il not for the ruin
GUS competition now prevailing. In New
England, where rates are more steady
there Is heavier business in fFeights
One fact, perhaps as conclusive MS any
proof Of the growing healthiulness o
business, is the reduction in the amour
of guaranteed credits" among manufac
turers and traders.
