THE SOUTHWARK LODE.

The excitement over the Southwark
seems to be unabated as yet. This is
the name of the extension recently
located ON the T'ioga vein. This is a
cross vein in the Nenango mine, dis
coverded by Mr.. Coplcy and is thought
to be larger and richer than the We
mango vein. Some two weeks ago
parties located the extension under
the name of Southwark, tight near
the creek in Elk basin. As yet they
are working in wash, but there Is no
question that the work is right on the
vein as the float taken ont is the same
as the Tioga vein ore. 1t is a ques-
ton how deep the wash is. 1t may
be no more than twenty feet or IT
may be two hundred, but it is the
opinion of those who pretend to
know that it is no deeper than the
former. In the event of the VEN be-
ing struck at a depth Of twenty feet,
it will prove one Of the best mines IN
camp. Mike Cowley VINO is superin-
tending the work, is running two
shifts and sinking as fist as possible.

Railroad. Accident.

PITTSBURGH, Oct. 5.-This morning at an
early hour while the first section of a
freight train was standing at Lenden sta
ton, few miles from the city on the B. &
0. R. R., it was run into by the second sec
ton of the train, injuring conductor Buff
ner and brakeman Sanders, who were in
the caboose of the first section, and slight
ly hurting brakeman Cline on the second
section. The caboose and two freight
cars of the first section were badly broken
and the engine of the second section slight
ly damaged.
Flagman Devine who failed to go back
to flag the second section, and thus caused
the accident, has disappeared. When the
trains collided he said to the engineer of
the second section: ''There goes our hind
end, and guess might as we'll quit"
Since that time he has not been SEEM Con-
ductor Rufner, who had his leg mashed, it
is thought will die. The other brakeman
will recover.

THE SAWDUNT PKO8LEM.

The brief river trip of party of gen-
tlemen on Wednesday, demonstrated the
fact that has been claimed by those who
have been urging legislation, that the
river is rapidly being made use
les for the purposes of navigation
owing to the vast quantities of saw
dust and mill refuse deposited therein at
Minneapolis. Bars competed of sand
and sawdust, with the latter predominant
ing, were found, and the Minneapolis
committee had the assurance to claim that
the bars were an advantage because they
narrowed the channel of the river. Grant
ing, for the moment, that the spe-
cifc bars have narrowed the channel and
deepened the water that would prove moth
ing.tThe next deposit might be directly
across the entire channel. The main fact
is, does the saw dust gather and sink and
mingle with the sand, forming impossible
bars? That it does was proven yesterday
All the reports of interested parties
cannot change that stubborn fact. 1t is
useless to devote any argument to the spe-
cific advocacy of depositing saw dust in
the river That is what they claim TO.
it at Minneapolis and the report of their
committee will undoubtedly be of that
bearing. 1t will pretend to have found
only bars which answered for wing dams
| to deepen the channel, but it can be sci
down in advance that they will find nc
positive sawdust bars. They we're notlsent
out to make any such discovery, and they
don't propose to go beyond what they
are ordered to perform, Their re-
port will be valueless, because it will be
biased and unfair. 1t can be counted that
behalf of sawdust.

4 CAPTAIN WHO DID NOT GO 70 y

A CAPTAIN WHO DID NOT GO TO VAR
The presentation Of a-stands of:coIofs to
our state militia by Hon. W. D. Washburn
was suggested, undoubtedly, by feeling
of friendship which ever binds old soldiers
together, but this was secondary consid-
.eration-the primary consideration being
"a desire to gain few votes from the ranks
of our volunteer soldiery. ~-sss
It will be remembered that when the war
cloud burst upon the country with terrible
fury, in 1861, he was captain of as fine a
volunteer company as ever marched to
the martial strains Of the fife and drum.
The members of the company were brave
and patriotic and agreed unanimously to
march to the seat of war and enter upon
the hard and dangerous duty of soldiers,
in defense of their beloved country. Cap
tain Washburn's private business was such
that he could not lead them. Like Arte-
mus Ward he wanted the rebellion crushed
if it took all of his wife's relations,
but he had no desire to place
his precious carcass within reach of the
enemy's bullets. The members of the

The GLOBE notes with pleasure that Rev.
5. e. Smith is being presented to the M. E.
conference, at Owatonna, for the position
OF Presiding Elder of the St. Paul dis
trict. This would be selection eminently
tit to be made. The Methodist church
has not had more able or more Jealous
advocate in st. Paul than Mr.. Smith. He
has built up the first M. E. church in this
city and placed it in the front rank of the
Methodist churches in the west. Unfortu-
nately the itineracy system of the church
prevented his further retention in that po-
sition, but he ought by all means to be
kept in this field of labor. His ability is
recognized elsewhere and a committee
was recently sent to st. Paul from Bur
lngton, Iowa. to endeavor to have him
transferred to the Iowa conference. in Or
der to secure his eminent services in that
city. If the bishop acts for the best in
terest of the church he will see that Mr.,
Smith is made presiding elder of the St
Paul district. ---

Their Meeting at Niagara Falls-Import-
ant Changes in the Laws Recommend
ed.
NIAGARA FALLS, Oct. 5.-The convention
of State Insurance superintendent met to-
day. The committee on fire insurance re-
serve decided to let the matter stand as
heretofore. The committee recommended
the stoppage of districting all cities of
10000 OR over. The committee appointed
to change the fire blanks to a form similar
to the balance sheets used by
life insurance commissioners recommend
that all comparative or assessment insur-
ance companies be required to make an
nual report to the state insurance depart
ments. We also strongly recommend the
enactment of laws compelling foreign in
surance companies to show on their sheets
only such liabilities and assets as they have
in the United States; that uniform form
of policies be adopted. O. S. Welsh offer
ed the following resolution:
Resolred, That it is the sense of this
convention of managers OF state insti
tute departments that it
the paramount duty of legislativ
bodies who pass acts creating insurance
companies Or make terms under which said
companies are brought into existence, that
such legislative bodies should provide
means whereby the policy holders interest
in such companies is made absolutely
and positively secure, or which
will, at least, accord the
policy holders equal protection
for their interest in the Life Insurance
company, that is provided by statute and
sound business regulations, to guard from
loss the sacred interests of the govern
ment corporations and individuals.
The motion was laid on the table for
the next meeting.
The new officers are: Oliver Pillsbury,
New Hampshire, president; G. P Swigart,
Illinois, vice president; J. w. Brooks, Con-
necticut, secretary. Adjourned to meet
at Columbus, the end of September, 1888,
