Narrow Escape from Being Burned
to Death.


Mrs. Hanson, former resident
of Gold Hill, now living in Mason
Valley, at Clarke Cleaver's place, had
narrow escape from being burned
to death one day last week. Il APP
pears that a brush fence on Mr.
G leaver's place took fire and Mrs.
Hanson was out watching them ex-
tinhu ish it; by some means the back
of her dress took fire, and was in
flames all the way up, before dis
covered. Kimball Cleaver, who was
near her, ran to her assistance and
succeeded in putting the fire out
before she was badly burned. Her
hands were slightly burned, but she
received no serious damage. Had
it not been for the immediate assist
nee she would probably have been
fatally burned.

Fire by Friction.

The process of producing fire by
the friction of wood, so often de,
scribed in books of travel, was re-
Gently performed by band of Zulus
at the London Aquarium. Some
straw beng laid on the ground as a
bed, two sticks were placed on it a
few inches apart, to form a support
for third stick, which was laid
across them. This had a deep notch
cut in it to receive the blunt point of
a drilling stick. which was twirled
like chocoiato- muller between the
palms of the hands. When the
twirler's hands reached the bottom
they were either dextrously shifted
to the top again, or another of the
Africans squatting around and re-
lieved the first. A spark was got in
the charred dust in about five min
utes, and was received with shouts
and leaps OF delight by the fire
makers, one of whom carefully
shielding it in handful of straw,
soon famed it into blaze.-New

A FluctuatiOn in Tin Ware.

On last Thursday Chlnaman
drove a donkey through Dayto u.
1t is nothing unusual to see a China
man driving donkey, it is even
common enough to see a donkey
loaded with ntpy oil cans; blu,
when the donkey, a lot of boys, dogs
and the cans get mixed up, the scene
becomes exhilerating. This DON
key carried pile of cans about the
size ola young hay-stack and every
step reminded one of the opening
OF the days work ia boiler yard.
The bad boys gathered as bad boys
will, and the dogs at their instance
and request began annoyiny tho
patient bearer of the cans. Finally
patience appeared to lose its virtue
In the opinion of the dumb brute
and with a kick he sent one ofthe dogs
on sommersault with howl which
was drowned by tho crash of the tin
ware. Matters then became lively,
the dogs resumed their attack and
the donkey unrestrained by the
efforts OF his master, lnflamed by an
ger, and enthusiastic over the sue
cess of his first effort began to
spread himself in all directions.
He kicked, ran and jumped, while
the cans ratified and rang against
each other in way to make wood
en- Indian turn pale with fear. Max.
ing grand final effort he turned
completely over, and lit on top of
his load and the noise was so terrific
that the dogs retreated in fear. The
Oldest citizens of Dayton say they
never heard so much noise before.
One man declared he thought that
the famous fireman of Virginia had
been blown up and his abdominal
regions had descended in Dayton.

School Taxes.

There wIll'be special election in
Dayton on the Goth of April, and one
in this city ON the 1st of MAY, for
the purpose Of voting on the propo-
sition to lew an additional tax of
$1,000 in each place, with which to
carry on the schools to the compile
ton Of the term. There should be
no opposition TO this measure, al
though symptoms OF such have made
their appearance. Whatever opposi-
ton is manifested will be shown
principally by men who have no
children, or, who having children,
are able 10 send them off to private
schools. This is unwise. even if
looked at froma selfish pointof view.
Unless property owner intends to
remove his possessions from the
United States, he should he not only
willing but anxions 10 have as many
children educated rs possible. He
may feel that he is paying for some
thing of which another will reap
more benefit than himself, and think
that it is unjust to have to support
schools for other mems children, but
he should not forget that this educa.
ton will be in manner protection

EDITOR LYON COUNTY TIMES
Dear Sir: In your paper of the 21st
you say "The feeling against the
Bodie railroad extension is getting
stronger in Mason Valley"
Permit me to say that this state
ment is not warranted by the senti-
ments of the people here. l have
conversed with nearly all the lead.
ing men in the Valley on the sub
ject, and in very rare instances
have | found any hostile feeling.
One or two, who talk very loudly
of packing their blankets out if
the road is built" would probably
consult the wishes Of the people by
going in any event. The feeling
expressed in near y every instance is
just this is Railroads will bring us
into direct competition with Calltor-
MIA in our grain. raising, and ut the
same time diminish the demand
for our staples, hay and barley.
2d-If the road is to be built, then
it is infinitely better for us to have it
through the valley than around it,.
Believing that road viii he
built to Columbus and Bodie districts
soon. our interests demand it should
be built through this valley. would
not have referred to this matter, but
your erroneous statements have, been
copied in other papers, and give out
side parties wrong impression of
the intelligence and enterprise of the
people here; and | do this knowing
that the ENTERPRIsING papers Of Fir-
ginia City and the STANDARD ones Of
Bodie are prone to draw IN lively
imagination for their facts In writing
of this valley. sR. cess. .a.. .

SO far as we have seen, but one excep-
tion-the mining interest. Why
should not the mines and miners at
work be illustrated by tableau as well
as oystermen, fishermen, farmers, and
other out-of-city workers? Are they
not very prominent factors in the
series of elements which have made
the metropolis what it is?
By all means let them be represent
ed. To that end let all the miners OF
this section assemble in the small hall
of Paul's Opera House this Saturday.
evening to take immediate, decisive
action.
A fine display can be made-one
that in suggestiveness, novelty and
real interest, cannot be surpassed.
Moreover, one in which the city and
country's thousands may see that the
miners are men, good as themselves,
and not what they are ignorantly sup
posed to be. Their own best temper
al interests command them to take
this step.

BALTIMoRE's GREAT CELEBRATION
An article elsewhere under the head
ing of "Baltimore's Big Boom" con.
veys some idea of the elaborate prep.
arations making for commemora tine
the l50th anniversary Of the found.
ing of the city. These will comprise
memorials of the bebinning and Of
the successive stages of industrial
and social progress to the present
time, all displayed in series of i'm
mense civic parades. In themselves
these are enough to aggregate gil
gantio demonstration; but it is pro-
posed to invest it with the number
less modern accessories which go to
swell the pomp and magnifcence of
the pageant, and which everywhere
illustrate the great strides our coun-
try has made since the liberty of tie
people has been declared.
An incentive to visit the city has
thus been provided of more than or
binary significance. In some sense
all the people of Maryland have an
interest in Baltimore, for all have
contributed to her growth until in
population and wealth she embraces
nearly one-half of the State. The in.
vitation extended to the people is,
therefore, social call from one-half
to the other half to join in hurra
over mutual achievement.
in this connection, as indicated by
"Pickens," the invitation comes 10
none with more force than to those
with capital and those with muscle
who have developed the resources of
this section. Of the thirty-seven
millions tons of coal sent out from
this region since lS42, al least tacenty
millions have paid tribute to the bus
mess Of Baltimore v,a the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad, the great artery
of trade and travel which more then
any other agency has made the city
what it is. This amount of coal in
hoppers would stretch into train
seUtm thousand males long, or more
than cover a double track from Balti-
Eore to San Francisco
So far as we have observed, howev-
er, no provision has been made for
any display ofthis primary element in
Baltimore's growth. The railroad,
to which as we have said, most of the
city's immediate development is con-
fessedly due, owes its own magnitude
to the early sustenance derived from
the carriage of Georges Creek coal.
Hence, it would seem a grave over
sight to permit our great industry to
go unrepresented in the grand process
sion IMPLYING the constituent resour-
ces from which the city has sprung
into splendid being. Indeed, it may
be said this region has done far more
for Baltimore than the latter has done
for US.
But our business is to urge our or
CARNATIONS of all descriptions, and
all our people who can, to 80. The
cost will be small and the pageant to
be seen will illumine the memory for a
lifetime.
