Paul Marquett, a quiet and inof-

mitted suicide a few days ago in that

He left home on Tuesday, and on his

ed. The woods, barns, stables. and
outbuildings were searched by lantern
light, and his dead body was found in
the barn of P. J. Geiger in one of the
back haymows. He was lying on his
face and was quite dead. He had
been Respondent and downhearted
ever since the failure of the savings
bank. Marquett had the savings of
his life with the Nessrs. bass, and by
their failure was left destitute, and
was utterly unable to work. His wife
was compelled to go out washing,
which added still more to his trouble
A few days ago he said he would
''make a strike one of these days

was an exemplary one, and up to the
time of the bank crash he was good
citizen, cheerful, Industrious, and APP
parently without any trouble on his

A MULES WONDERFUL TR!cKERY.

When you comes down to kicking.

came along and took dinner with me
the other day. and as he seemed n
little down.hearted. / took him out
to see Thomas jefferson. my cham

man how that mule would flop his feet
around. and he said he would like to
see little fun. He'd passed his
whole life in the south. but had never

after borrowing some tobacco. 4 took
Thomas out of the stable. backed
him up agin hill. gin him cuff on

amusement. 1t was good place to
kick his durndest. and what dive
spose he did! In ten minutes by the
watch he was out of sight. In five
more we couldn't feel him with a
twelvefoot pole. and and the
the crowd began to yell and sheer.

THE kilograms from Cariboo to the
Victoria papers give glowing accounts
Of the high quality of quartz discovered
in the Lodges Of that region. Six tons
Of rock .:c.s the Perseverance lode
yielded fifteen and three-qusrter ounces
Of gold, which, computing at the not
fanciful figure of seventeen dollars per
ounce. would give 4267 70 for the
whole amounts reduced, or "a SO per
ton This is better average than the
celebrated Idaho mine at Grass Valley,
California. which has paid over two
millions of dollars in dividends to the
stockholders in the past six years.
This will help British Columbia . great
deal. but our own Territory will reap q
large portion of the benefit. in the way
Of grain shipped thither, as agriculture
is but little prosecuted in that province.
Gold was discovered in Cariboo nearly
twenty years ago. but they are just be-
ginning to find the mother lodges Of
wealth. Perhaps ten years hence the

AN IMPORTANT SUIT.

The suit OF ffederlksOn against tns
Tacoma Mill Company was one OF great
interest to mill owners and mill en-
ployees. We were in error in our state
msnt on Monday that three demurrers
were interpossd by the defendants
counsel. The demurrer 10 the original
complaint was sustained on . purely
technical ground. The demurrer to tho
amended complaint was overruled, and
the defendants answered. The plain
tiffs, however, upon an intimation OF
what would be the ruling Of the Court,
deemed it best to dismiss their case for
the present, and await the result OF
pending offer to compensate the injured
man.
The slab-saw. by which the plaintiff
was horribly mutilated-his left arm
being nearly severed from bis body by
q cut directly downward from the top
of the shoulder. cutting through the
shoulder blade and the collar bone
wss the only one of the kind in use in
the mills of the Sound. The saws were
wholly UNLOCKED, and the belts, driving
than. were unguarded. The injury
resulted from the breaking OF the
lashings of the main belt, which re-
volved ct the rate of 5000 per minute
within two feet of the plaintiffs head.
by'which means he was hit by one end
OF the belt, and thrown upon the I'M
boxed saw.
The plaintiff stated in his complaint
that be was entirely unacquainted with
machinery that the dangerous and
unprotected condition Of the saw was
wholly unknown to him, but was
known to the defendants- that he
relied upon their care and skill to pro-
vide safe machinery and appliances
that he had no care or control of the
belts, and no means of knowing the
insecurity by reason of the want of
boxing and of guards to the belts.
But the Court said these things were
all open TO his views; that when a
man undertook On employment Of that
kind the law presumes he does so upon
his own risk, and if injury results lie
can have no right of action against the
employer; that there might be cause
of action in the defective lashing of the
belt. and upon this point alone the case
might 60 to the jury.
The counsel for the plaintiff. resting
upon the theory that the ruling of the
Court was not the better law, declined
to 60 to the jury upon this single issue;
and in view OF an intimation that the
Company were disposed to do the fair
thing by the unfortunate man, thought
it best to await the result of the effort
to compromise. If, however. no com.
promise results, we are informed the
suit will be renewed.
Mr.. Ackerson, one of the Company,
seems disposed to accommodate matters
IN . commendable spirit. The machin-
cry will give place to saw which will
ut least not be open to the objections
that now apply.
The legal question involved is one OF
great Importance. In England, and in
several American States. there are stat
utss requiring all machinery to be safely
boxed and guarded. But there 10 no
such statute in this Territory. That
there should be one there can DO no
doubt. for it is too much to ask of the
employee that he shall take the risk of
tho faulty construction, or the neglect
to sufficiently guard machinery.
