PANIC In SCHOOL.
A villainOus Mouse In Pursuit. OF

Physiological Information.
Yesterday afternoon, just as the last Of
the urchins were filing out OF the public
schoolhouse, a bewildered mous ran into
one Of the rooms ON the lower floor. The
teacher, being q lady, Of course screamed.
The piercing sounds she uttered crazed
the poor little thing, and at the same time
appeared to fascinate it, also, for it few
after her and tried to hide itself under her
dress. She shook it off, but it returned to
the attack like mad, and with demon
claws climbed upward-must we say it
on the schoolmarm's stocking There is
no wonder that ladies fee when mice ap-
proach. Then such sounds rem the air AS
were hardly human, for every little girl
within the sound OF the teachers voice
screeched with her in chorus. The poor
mousey dropped to the floor nearly OK
hausted, and painting for breath galloped
ianguidly into the department opposite
across the hall, from which the ~paralyzing
nowls OF another schoolmarm soon began

hoid her mounted on q desk, copiously
weeping, trembling and wringing her
nands, while the v~illainous mouse, with
blood In his eye and curiosity in his bosom,
watched her from the floor at her
ieet. We are not familiar with the symp-
nm Of emotional insanity in mice, but we
'nlnE our mouse was either affected that
way or else had imbibed a passion for
oOolect lessons for which the Schoolmaster
ueheral created such a rage when he was
~ charge OF the schoolmarms. Physiology

ana perhaps mousey had listened to him
Iev'aring some day and had sailed forth
wlld with a thirst for practical informa-
non OF that sort. When the william had quit
pursuing and disappeared and order was
restored in the lower levels OF the building,

~ -
New Miner.
From the Ceur d'Alene Miner, published
at Spokane Falls, Jan. &c, sixty miles from
the gold fields, we extract the following
notes:
Snow now prevents any extensive pros
pecting.
Lots in Eagle City are comparatively low
at present.
Snow is over five feet deep on the level
at the mines.
Two pack trains left this city for the
mines Sunday.
The snow will not be off the ground
earlier than May.
A number Of pack trains are in camp un-
able to move out.
People pass through the city every day
bound for the mines.
A number of claims have been sold in
the mines for good round sums.
Passengers and freight taken into the
mines directly from Spokane Falls.
1t is rumored that two papers will be
started at Eagle City in the Spring.
Several individuals are running pack
trains from this city to Eagle City.
The quartz mines OF the Ceur d'Alene
diggings promise to develop wonderfully
rich.
Parties are taking goods up in the mines
in skiffs, but navigation is spiced with
danger.
Two men, names unknown, coming out
of the mines, were drowned in the C@ur
d'Alene river.
Eagle City will be the metropolis of the
mines. 1t will contain 10000 people by
the LIST Of July.
Evolution, a station half way between
the Mission and Eagle City. promises to
be a lively camp.
Merchants of this city are putting in
stocks especially to meet the demands Of
the mining trade.
As soon as steamers are running through
tickets can be purchased from Spokane
Falls to Eagle City.
Provisions are very high in camp, and q
man without money and a supply Of grub
has no business there.
The permanent value of the new gold
discoveries depends upon the quartz pro-
d~uction, and present indications point to
rich returns from that source.
The merchants OF Spokane Falls are put
ting in immense stocks of goods to meet
the great demand that is expected in the
Spring. They are buying in the East and
will be prepared to sell as low as the same
class of articles can be bought on the
Coast,

Matters for the Confederation of the
Railroad Commissioners.
The following gentlemen appeared before
the railroad commissioners yesterday in ad-
dition to those whose arguments are reported
elsewhere:
General E. E. Bradley said he represented
a COMMITTEE of eight appointed in West Hav-
en- a week ago last Saturday night. He said
that as soon as the decision was published it
created a good deal of stir and a public
meeting was called, every citizen of the bor-
ough being requested to attend. At that
meeting there was a unanimous feeling in
favor of asking your honorable board to re-
consider POUR action in regard to crossing at
grade. AS you will know gentlemen, there
are hundreds of railroads that cross at grade
in every part of the country and as We un-
derstand the accidents are very rare. We
understand that under the law we should
show special reasons why we should be allow
ed to cross at grade. Now all we ask for is
simply little single-track, rapid transit road
for carrying passengers only. It will be run
at low rate of speed and al precautions
will be taken at grade crossings that you
gentlemen may require to prevent accidents,
The building of the road above grade would
be unsightly and expensive and below grade
it is simply impossible. We know that We
cannot have a road unless we have it at grade
and we therefore urge you to reconsider
your action. There ia no doubt but thous-
ands of people would ride over the road
every day and both New Haven and West
Haven are equally interested in this matter.
Those whose land is to be taken, I believe,
are unanimous in favor of the road being
made at grade instead of above or below
grade. I have here petition with three hun
dred signatures attached to it and will say
for myself that have not met single indi-
vidual who refused to sign it. We sincere
ly hope that you will consider our petition
and grant our request.
President Watrous said that he had been
requested to make a statement in the PEG.
pies behalf. As regards the company which
he represented, they had, when they heard
the decision been disposed to bow submis-
siVely thereto. He felt, however, that he
could speak fer the public. He was opposed
as q rule to all grade crossings. yet he
thought here was an exception to the general
rule. Is the Legislature had in mind such
little branch road as this when they passed
the Law then we must submit But We BE-
lieve that this law was intended to apply to
through routes If the Legislature had had
the building of such road as
this would they not have made an excep-

Locomotive Eight Inches Long-The
Tiny Piece OF Mechanism that Took
Three Years to Construct.
GLovERsvnLE, May 14.-Mr. Henry Case
of Oil City, Pa, who recently moved here,
has just completed the smallest locomotive
ever made, it being but eight inches long and
weighing but a pound and half. Three
years, counting ten hours as a days labor,
have been devoted to its construction.
There are 585 screws in the engine The
steam gauge is bat one-fourth of an inch in
diameter; the pump throws but one drop of
water every stroke; the check valves in the
pump are one-sixteenth of an inch in diane
ter; the headlight is only half an inch in
width, seven eighths of an inch high, and
three eighths of an inch long. The space
in the lamp is SO small that il was almost
impossible to get enough oxygen in it to sup
port the combustion. The fire is kindled by
using gill of alcohol, which runs the engine
for half an hour. The stroke of the engine
is one inch, bore fve-sixteenths the heater
pipe Is only the thirty-second part of an inch
In diameter. There are seven dues in the
boiler. The width of the track is one
and fve=eighths inches, and it makes
four and three-quarters inches distance
each revolution. The valve seat is but
one sixty-fourth of an inch wide. The driv-
ing wheels are one and one-half inches in
diameter; the front truck wheels sne-half
inch, and those of the tender are the same
size. The tender is but three and three
quarters inches long, two and oEe-eiehth
inches wide, and two inches high. The
metals used in its construction are brass,
solid silver, gold. and steel.

CHICAGO, May 14.-The anti-monopoly

able by an almost entire absence of the tur-

gathering to-day was a calm and dignifed
one. The younger and more enthusiastic
lights of the party were conspicuous
by their absence and their places were
largely filled with greyheaded men of
sober sense and calm deliberative tendencies.
Little local interest was manifested in the
proceedings, the space reserved for the gen.
eral public at no time containing more than a
