rooms iu Ashland Block yesterday afternoon.
President Winston occupied tho chair, and there
were present Commissioners Culver, Stockton,
Withrow, and Knlish.
The first matter Of interest considered was
the proposition Of ]. A. Cole, civil engineer,
which was submitted At the last meeting, The
effects Of recent storms on tho lake-shoro drive
suggested tn him that scientific investigation
Of the causes which produce ahrasIons 0f the
beach would .gtys results of practical value.
fsraons who Lave had experience in this linz
protection, and thu question is still considered
IN open one. Many experiments hare Gccu
tried, md, In Mr. Colcfs opinion, q careful COM
pasison OF results reached should bo lna1o to
gain reliable data for future guidance; and tho
Examination should be minute and thorough,
embracing oil tho elements which enter into tho
subject, such as The effect Of storms, currents,
1cc, high water, ETC., upon the beach aud upon
The various structures which are now In use for
Commissioner Stockton said he had conferred
With Mr. Cole, who had told him that he would

CIVILIZATIONS MAncH.

Several important projects are a, pres.
ent under discussion that are of world
wide Importance In their effect on man.
kind. Among those that are assuming
tangible shape Ia the Channel tunnel
schsms for uniting England and France
BY submarine viaduct between Dover
and Calais. Boring has been commenced
on the French side. and the corps OF in.
vestigating engineers entertain strong
hopes Of ths. feasibility OF the scheme.
Another undertaking 10 the proposed
flooding OF the Sahara Desert. A party
OF ten left London on the LIST instant with
the intention Of making q preliminary
survey. II the waters Of the Atlantic
can be successfully turned 10 upon that
vast arid waste. Africa. which is like q
dark cloud in history's horizon with here
and there lurid fash from the outward
fringe. will be no longer terra incog.
nito. but can be reached to it's innermost
mystery in seven days from London.
The next design we have to note is the
cutting Of . canal through France from
the Bay of Biscay to Ayde on the south
eastern coast. thereby saving the long
detour around Gibraltar. But the great
est fall those embryo enterprises and the
most fer rsae)lng in us results is the pro-
posed railroad across Asia connecting the
Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. II is pro-
posed to make Mini Novorgod. which is
the extreme eastern railway station and
an important point in Southern Russia,
the Eastern starting point, and from
there lay the road by the most direct
route to the Chinese frontier. This
would serve the same purpose and have
the same proportionate effect as our Pa
cifio road. Though the designs are all
Old World projects, yet they have
direct influence on toe trade and CON-
neroe Of this country. and for this reason
deserve attention.

One Of the great points Of difference
between the hundred years that have
closed and the fair future that ia opened
up to our country is. in the past, danger
threatened from without, in the future it
threatens from within. Then we we're
weak and liable to foreign intervention
and spoilation. now We stand at that
point Of prosperity in which our social
system should be strengthened in pro-
portion to the increasing strain. As all
victories have within their results the
latent germs Of defeat. SO our victory in
establishing and thus for perpetuating a
free country bears within itself the seeds
of what, II quickened into life by cir.
cumstances. may be defeat and irrepar.
able disaster. The intoxication OF
victory, Outlines leads to subversion of
victory's best results aud an establish
ment Of that which was battled against.
II "peace hath its victories no less re.
moved than war;" 40 also il has it's de-
feat and the programme for future action
and guidance should include due safe.
guard against internal danger.

SENATOR JONES VIEWS. - Senator
Jones In recent speech in tho Senate
on tho silver question. comes to the
front with new idea which, to us. ap-
pears sensible. Arguing in favor of a
bimetallic system, he proposed that as
oil OF the United States bonds are paya.
BILE In gold or silver. that silver can and
ought to be applied in liquidation Of
such Governmental indebtedness. The
law limiting silver, as legal tender. to
five dollars went into force some years
after the issuance Of the bulk OF the
bonds. Jones' speech is able and enti-
tied to favorable consideration. There
is slight flavor Of reputation in the
measure as put forward, but is the best
way out Of the present muddle that We
have yet seen. Should his suggestions
be endorsed an important step will be
taken in the solution Of the present vex-
atious problem. viz: the depreciation OF
silver and consequent inconvenience.

gives the following account of the &C.
cident at the Rock Island mine: John
Fl. Parkinson, chief engineer, accom-.
panied by miner named John Prout,
started to come up on tho north tank,
Prout standing on the west side OF the
tank and Parkinson on the east side.
Three bells were sounded. SO that the
engineer knew there were men aboard.
Just before the cage reahed the head of
the shaft the engineer shut off his steam
and attempted to put on the brake and
all at once discovered that the brake-ba
had been thrown ont Of its guides by the
under-bar which comes up TO set the
brake. He stopped down to fix it. and
at that moment the cage with the two
men appeared above the top OF the
shaft. Parkinson saw that something
was the matter and called out to Henry
h. Clarke, the engineer, to reverse the
engine. This excited Clarke to such q
degree that he was unable to do any
thing at all, 80 the cage, with the tank
and the two men. passed on up out Of
the guides, and Prout's head was crush.
ed between the cable and the pully-
wheel on which it works, more common
ly known among miners as the "sheave. ="
Parkinson's arm was around the cable
and was caught between Prout's head
and the pully wheel. where 1t was held
for more than half AN hour. Prout was
instantly killed. Parkinson's arm was
terribly bruised and mashed, but NO
bones were broken. Clarke refused to
open the engine again. He feels very
badly about it. All who know him say
he is a sober, industrious man and
J Chief Engineer John II. Parkinson
whose arm was hurt by the accident
! says he is the best runner they ever hat
} at the mine. Clarke has family living
at American Flat, aud 10 Q brother o.
! General R. M. Clarke OF Carson. The
} reason the cage continued TO ascend
after steam had been shut off was tha,
! the north and south cages we're con
nected, and the weight Of the descending
cages forctd the one carrying the mer
mp. beyond its proper place. Johr
J Prout was q native Of Cornwall. England
