SOME of the New York theaters are inn
proving their arrangements to guard against
loss of life by fire by having large sky-lights
made over the stage, so arranged as to open
automatically in case of stage fire, thus allow
ing the escape of smoke, so disastrous in suffo-
eating the audience before it can possibly es
cape. Next to preventing fire on the stage,
the idea seems to be a good one

Horace Heffren is hardly an attractive fig

corpulent individual had better step aside
and let the Democratic procession pass, as he

High-Handed Contempt for the People.
HUNTINGTON Herald.

Let every reader of the Herald, not as a
temperance man, Republican, Democrat
or National look at the matter in its real
light, and see if they as citizens of a free
country, jealous of its rights are prepared to
silently permit such an outrage. A more
high handed contempt for the rights of men
has never been perpetrated and the influence
which produced it was so great as that some
of the ablest members of the Senate actually
stultified their former official action made on
an identical question. If the voters of this
State do not rebuke this act, then, indeed
are they unworthy to be called men.

in spirit of mischief gave out that she had

lost to this State on account of their unwise

the option permitted saloons, and practical
legislation, restraining the evils of liquor

The Tribune and with it all good citizens,
are rejoced to see that this matter is before
the Senate IN such a shape that the Demo-
Gratis in control there cannot well avoid max
ing thorough investigation and thus estab-
fish the truth or falsity of the charges of
Winterbotham and his crew. This gang has
done not little to affect the fair fame of
South Bend in making these charges, and it
is evident from their action in making them
that they never intended there should be an
investigation. The divers and Stuiebakers
have the right to demand one, as they have
done, and we hope the Senate will push it

place IN right field, while the latter went behind
the bat.

There are some six or eight men employed 1t thls mine at the present time. Work is now being prosecuted on the 15l foot level. fTom whence large quantity of ore is be- ing extracted. At this place the ore vein is some five feet wide averaging probably S9O to the ton. From this level the air shaft is being sunk to connect with the 20O foot level. It has already been sunk about twenty feet, leaving some thirty feet more to sink before the lower level is reached. When that is done there will be about thirty feet of drifting to be done to con neCt the 200 feet level with the shaft. When all this IS done perfect ventil ,tion will be secured for the 200 foot level. In sinking the shaft two parallel streaks of rich ore have been encountered, each averaging about six inches in width. Samples of the ore from this place assay between four and five hundred dollars, the ore being very rich in ruby and antimonial silver. A new wire rope has been ordered from St. Louis for this mine. in addition to lot of rub Der piping for making steam connections. 5c.. underground, in a11itiol U lot of other supplies. When these are on the ground work will be prosecuted on more extensive scale than at present.
