A coal oil fire is a question only OF time,
under existing circumstances. The conse-
auences can easily be imagined. In the i'm
mediate vicinity Of the burning oil warehouse
there is no fire department but would be
powerless; the intense heat would fire adj
jacentbuildings explosions would be followed
by the flowing of the burning oils through
the cutters, carrying destruction squares be-
yond the point of origin, and losses would in
.evitably be immense; and q fire loss Is an abb
solute loss OF wealth to the community. All
good citizens should persistently urge the i'm
mediate adoption of safety measures.

During the hoodlum attack upon the
Chinese quarter in San Francisco, fifty
horses were taken from horse-car sta
bles for the use of the citizens cavalry.
Much difficulty was experienced In pre-
venting the animals from charging up
Suffer street whenever that thorough
fare was crossed. Finally Capt. Critten-
den conceived the idea OF strapping a
car-bell to the pommel Of his saddle, by
the aid Of which his entire command was
started, halted, and otherwise maneu-
vred with the greatest precision.
Miss Matte Greer was sunstruck, at
Weston, two weeks ago, which caused

Fatal saiaIas Accident.

A fatal accident occurred on a placer
claim in Deadwood Gulch last Thurs
day. The Times states that two men
had been raised out of the shaft which
was forty-iye feet deep, in n bucket,
and while two others, John Philbin
and Joe Carter, were awaiting the de-
scent of the other bucket, it became
detached from the chain, and fell with
lightning rapidity down the shaft,
striking, in its descent, Philbin and
Carter. The former fortunately es-
capped with severe bruises on the left
side of the head and left shoulder, but
the latter was killed instantaneously,
in fact never moved a muscle after
being struck. Philbin says the bucket
struck the unfortunate man on the
crown of the head, telling him at once
and that he never spoke or moved again.
The bucket weighs about fifty pounds.

A Doctors DeyiIish Deed.

On Thursday of last week a young
girl 16 years of age, the daughter of
Mr.. John Brentwood, came to the office
of DR.. S. H. Quincy in this town for
some medicine and consultation. She
had been under DR.. Gurney's treatment
for some trifing ailment,-and while
there, it is said, was assaulted and out
ragged. Powerful narcotics were used
to prevent resistance. The girl, as soon
as she came to her right mind Iiscov-
cred what had been done, went home to
her mother and told her story. Her
father Immediately put n pistol in his
pocket and came to town. He met DR..
Quincy in front of Gloyn's store and
attempted to shoot him, but the pistol
missed fire; the two clinched, when by
ISLANDERS i%nterfered, and separated
them, and took the pistol away. Cur
