REmARKABLE ACCIDENT.
a Miner Thrown From "a Cage
SIX hundred Feet From the
FRnfannR
Virginia Neyl Chronicle.

fiieiutb Ivy OhiNHASAS-
A most remarkable accident hap>
pened at the Hale & Norcross mine
last night. A cage with six men was
coming up the shaft at IL with six
O'Clock the hour for changing shifts.
When about six hundred feet from
the bottom. at a point where there Is
an Irregular place in the guides, the
cage suddenly lurehed to one side
.thEaelng the men e u. eiheEs.uka
rick II oiiaud, VINO was10h sttlskoufsft1e
was crowded off Instead of falling
to the bottom and being dashed tc
pieces, be was safely lodged on a wall
plate The other men on the cage
supposed he had fallen into the sump
of course When they reached the
surface they got their usual sacks and
boxes and started back to the sump to
gather up the fragments of the body
As they approached the place in the
shaft where the man was thrown of
they heard a voice below them telling
them to 90 slow. They did not know
what to make of the strange discovery
never supposing it possible for Hol-
land to be anywhere else than at the
bottom, When they saw him safe OF
his narrow perch they could scarcely
believe their eyes.
Any one who has ascended a shaft
knows how rapidly the wall-plates iii
by when the lantern is held so as tt
bring them to view The cage from
which Holland was thrown was coming
up at the usual rate Of speed How
the man could have possibly been lodg
ed oa one of these pieces of tim Der with.
out being jammed by the cage ol
knocked off as it wentpast him Is 1
wonder The wall plate is a square
timb Der. fourteen by sixteen inches, 81
that there was very little standing room
for Holland while he was waiting for
the cage to come down aud rescue him
If the shaft had been so light that h'
could look down any considerable dis
of the 600 feet between him and tn,
bottom, he would scarcely have hat
the nerve to cling to his narrow foot
ing The darkness of all minin!
shafts is a point in favor of the min
ers preserving their GOODNESS when pla
ced in ticklish positions. \ couple
of pump men will throw foot wid,
plank across a shaft 1000 feet frou
the bottom and work upon il as though
they were not five feet from the bot
tom. The darkness of the shaft pre-
vents the thought of the awful abys
from being constantly present.

COMMERCE OF CHICAGO. - Chicago is yet only
generation old, but its trade aud commerce
have already reached such colossal dimensions
that none dare say that the beginning OF the
Bext century will not see it the largest city on
the Continent 1t has now populatinn Of
over 100000. but 1t is situated on the high road
across the Continent, and it is the largest rail-
road centre 10 the United States. Last year
there were received in that city l34S56 l SO
bushels of breadstuffs of which all except that
required for local consumption was shipped East
and South. The lumber oil hogs received was
more than six millions. and the value OF the hog
product more than $4,000 O00 Besides this,
live stock worth twice as much was received,
and the city did wholesale business Of nearly
S3000OO0O0. 1t is not for any one man to set
limits to the growth of city which has done so
much in third of a century.
