some thirty Cinnamon are killed. The second

amen say he hanged himself, but the indica

put him out of misery. There is terrible
scene of suffering in camp and ruin all around
the mouth of the tunnel
The engine for pumping afr is disabled-the
pipes broken, sheds wrecked and broken tim
bers scattered all around. The gas prevents
any attempt to recover the bodies at present.
Work will be delayed two months. No blame

lieved the white men taken from the tunnel
will live, but several of the Cinnamon brought
out are fatally injured.
The scene of the disaster is almost on top
of Santa Cruz Mountain, in a region where
coal oil abounds, and where boring for wells
is actively prosecuted. There is a vein of
oil running right through the tunnel, and
the soil can be lgnited In places, and will
burn freely. The explosion of gas and fires
resulting from the same have been of frequent
occurrence there, and have already resulted
in the loss of several lives. The utmost pre-
caution has been necessary in working there,
and only by the use OF air compressors has
progress been possible. 1t is expected, how
ever, that with clear tunnel the natural cur.
rent of air will be sufficient.

will be found to work we'll. A great many
things can be done under its provisions
that cannot be accomplished in any other
way. We can at least abate ~nuisances and
give our streets and alleys . thorough
cleansing. These objects have hitherto
furnished the great demand for incorpora-
ton. The Commissioner will also be
given increased powers over the streets;
being authorized to open new streets, and
10 prevent Entertainments upon the old.
These are the chief benefits claimed for the
new law. That their coEsummation Is to
be desired We think hardly admits Of .
