The other afternoon man drove
in a wagon to Washerwoman's Bay,
in San Francisco, where prisoners
were at work, and got out to see
the men working. He left boy
six years of age on the seat of the
wagon, and had been gone but a
few minutes when the horse ran
off, and before he could be stopped,
plunged into the bay. The boy fell
from the seat into the bay, and
would have been drowned had it
not been for several of the prisoners,
who sprang into the water and res
cued him. The horse went under,
being dragged by the weight of the
wagon, when one of the prisoners,
named Frank Medina, dove, cut
the harness and released the animal
from the shafts, and swan him
ashore. Medina then went under
the surface of the water and
fastened arope to the wagon, which
was hauled up by the prisoners.

The Railroad Fight.

Dallas (Texas) Commercial. July i5l
The war between the Iron Noun
tain road and the Memphis and
Little Rock road still continues;
and the latter is conveying passen-
gers from Little Rock to Louisville,
via Memphis, for two dollars, to
Cincinnati for six dollars, to In
dianapolis for six and a half dollars.
Ii any person had told us a.
month ago that the Memphis and
Little Rock road would ever dare
to claim any rights from the Iron
Mountain, and insist upon them
by contest, we should have told
such individual he must be either a
fool or a lunatic. But when the
little Memphis road actually took
up the cudgel in self-defensc, We
held our breath in suspense, and
stood aghaSt expecting to sec them
annihilated But they wont ami
hilate worth a cent, and we are
breathing again Just rs easy as ever.
When we come to look at it we can
see no reason why they should be
particularly discounted by the
fight. When they commenced cut
ting rates, they had been struck by
their big competitor for the last
dollar it was possible to reach, so
they had absolutely nothing to
lose, and no knowing what might
be gained. How was it with the
Iron Mountain road? Without
the fight they had an absolute mon
opoly of through travel and an i'm
mense local business to be seriously
disturbed, which is equivalent to
Everything to lose and nothing to
gain" 1t is like q bruiser being so
certain that he can "chaw up
some little fellow that he goes out
and offers to bet a thousand dollars
to a cent. If he wins, he wins
nothing. If he loses, he loses all,
besides the matter of being "chawed
up" 1t is true, the Iron Mountain
folks have ordered the Memphis
route off the Little Rock bridge,
which, if successful, would necessi-
tate an omnibus transfer; but even
that would only offset the omnibus
transfer of the Iron Mountain in
st. Louis, aud we cannet see how
this move will effect their cut rates,
and their general effects on rev.
enues-nor the final result; only to
make defeat for the Iron Noun
tain the most ignoble.
1t looks to us as if the Iron
Mountain had got their " foot in I"
deep, as any attempt to create mo-
nopoly by strangling competition
will never win the sympathies of
Texas people. They have ordered
every ticket off sale in Texas which
leads over the Memphis route, and
| have even ordered Little Rock
tickets off, which puts the travelling
\ public to the inconvenience Of pur-
chasing tickets at Texarkana, then
of paying local fare to Little Rock,
where they get the advantage of
low rates. Judging from the re-
ports of the unprecedented bust
ness to the East and Northeast via
Memphis, it looks as though the
travelling public was in full sympa-
thy with the little fellow mot yet
"chawed up'') and that the more
annoyauces imposed the greater
the sympathy would be,
We regret to see great public
corporations wasting their strength
i'll Improbable and unwise contests,
and our advice to both would be,
try and settle it in a manner honor
able to both.

and party returned last week from their
coal prospecting trip and reported their
complete success. They found coal on
Major Sibble's farm, about five miles
northeast OF Savoy and thirteen miles
east OF Denison. They first struck coal
at depth Of about fifty feet, and at
large vein Of good quality. as the sam
pies shown to us testify. The shaft is
within two miles OF the Trans-C onti-
mental railway, and arrangements will
be at once perfected for further de-
velopment OF the mine. 9s

THE rYNEwIDD PIT CATASTROPHE
The Most Remarkable Escape on Record

The Most Remarkable Escape ON Record.
The inspector of mines In Wales re-
cites In an official report the various
expedients adopted to effect the release
OF the miners recently imprisoned In
the Tynewidd pit. At first two divers
attempted to reach them, but failed,
owing to the long distance, $50 yards,
and the great obstacles met with.
During the next few days nothing but
pumping was attempted. After getting
to within few yards OF the men the
engineers erected two doors, and ap-
piled two air-pumps to compress the air
between the Ioors to the same pressure
as that where the men were. That plan
also failed, as they could not make the
doors sufficiently close. The next idea
was to thin the barrier OF coal to five or
six feet, and bore three holes through It,,
with view Of supplying the men with
food.
Owing to the great pressure of air in
through, 80 that likewise failed, At that
time they could converse with the men,
who informed them they could not live
much longer. The engineers and off,
Gals knew that the water, which YVES
kept back by the compressed air, was
standing from four to five feet above the
men. The leading engineer suggested
that the three holes which had been
bored through and plugged should be
opened, and the air allowed to escape
from the imprisoned men till it was re-
duced to the same pressure as the air
with them. He pointed out that as the
air was discharged the water would rise,
and Ii the men were not extricated In
sufficient time they would be drowned.
As the water could not be pumped
out within two or three days,
the engineers adopted this. PLAN. As
soon as they opened the holes and al
lowed the air to escape the water began
to rise, and the men told them that they
would soon be drowned. The engineers
kept asking them IL the water was still
rising, and the reply invariably was,
Eyes" The air being sufficiently re-
lisved, they put the colliers on to cut
away the five or SIX feet Of coal, which
took about two hours to accomplish.
During the whole of that time the I'M
prisoned men continued to call to them
In the most pitiful tones that they would
be drowned. and they also tried to stop
up the holes. At last, however, when
the water was within few inches OF
their mouths, 1t ceased to rise. The en-
gineers told them they were quite safe,
and would be relieved In short time,
and asked IL they would have food sent
through the holes or walt until they
were relieved. They replied that they
would wait, as they could live q little
while longer. Such 10 an outline OF this
most marvellous OF all rescues. 4

AN INGENIOUS SUICIDE.

The San Francisco Chronicle Of the
9Th says: Manuel Lelevara, or ''Old
Frank" a. has been Familiarity known,
committed suicide yesterday morning
at his dwelling, his preparations for the
deed being made In q very deliberate
manner. Yesterday morning he sent
his wife to Oakland to see about some
lots which they have been endeavoring
to sell, and was particular In his in
quiries as to the time when she should
return. She mentioned q time and left
him. When she had departed the de-
ceased repaired to small woodshed in
the rear Of his house and prepared to
kill himself. He spread some empty
sacks over the coal heap and sat down.
He then affixed some string to the trig-
ger Of double barreled shotgun and
to q small stick, against which he placed
his feet, and also strapped his gun to
his ankles to prevent it from slipping.
After enjoying a smoke and deposit
ing his bundle OF cigarettes and matches
by his side, he put both barrels of the
gun In his mouth. and pushing the stick
with his feet discharged the gun. The
manner. The entire left side OF the head
and face, and almost the entire skull
were torn off In fragments. The brains,
blood and pieces OF skull Uttered the
small apartment and presented horri-
Bile appearance. His unsuspecting wife
returned from Oakland about IL o. clock,
and on looking into the shed found him
in the terrible condition described. In
his right hand was found revolver,
with which he designed to complete the
job if his plan failed. The matter was
reported to the coroner and the body
was removed to the morgue. The de-
ceased was native Of the Azores Island
and SO years OF age. He was comfortably
situated. His wife knows OF no reason
for the rash deed. About five years ago
he was injured by being crushed be-
tween two piles. and it is thought that
his brain had been slightly disordered
