Accident.

Yesterday afternoon as the freigh, train going west was pulling out of this station, Thomas Boyd undertook to jump on the front end of the ca. boose as the train was moving. His foot slipped, and he fell on the rail, and but for the break beam throwing him from the track, his body would have been cut in twain. He received very serious injuries from the blow, and is now in very critical condi. tion. His spine is injured to such an extent that his side and right leg is paralyzed, and should he recover, which is doubtful. he would be crip. pied from the injury to his back. He was picked up from the track and conveyed to Dr. Brannen's office. where his injuries were attended to. liter which he was conveyed to the Flagstaff hotel, where he now lies. Boyd is young man and has many
 trends in Flagstaff. He has been in the employ of John Cart, in the logging camp for months.

A Rival Lumber supply.

The Phenix Herald says: Prescott lumber mills must look out for their southern lumber trade, and to retail. it the price of lumber. at the mills must be reduced. Our business men have been loading with lumber on re- turn trips from Prescott, but this will probably prove profitless in the future. Lumber is now being, shipped from Flagstaff, via Albuqnerque, Den ing, Maricopa, quite eoe miles by rail, then hauled thirty miles by wagons to Phenix, and sold for $ per thousand lese than when brouglii from Prescott. When the Needles and the Yuma bridges are rest red, lumber can be laid down at Maricopa mulch cheaper than at present. The Flagstaff lum Der is excellent-quite equal to the Nevada lumber which is brought to this market. Our need Of a railroad cannot be over estimated; and the fact that lumber is shipped 900 miles by rail, then thirty miles by wagon, cheaper than it can be sent foo miles by wagon from Prescott, is an unln. swerable argument in favor of rall. reads.

;. Sickness at the Needles.

During the week there has been considerable of scare at the Needles, where the weather is so extremely hot. There were two deaths among the men working at the bridge, and a third has probably died since, as it was thought he could not survive. Sudden cramps and a deadly sickness at the stomach were the symptoms, md a number of others oi ,h. bridge gtn5 were v-ry i'll and had to quit work. Rumors of yellow fever and cholera were rife, and nearly all tie men working on the bridge fled to keep away from the Cfeaded disease. A careful ihvesti
 gation of the facts, however, revealed he real cause of death to be drinking of ice water and liberal quantity of liquor by new men in the clim ,te.

During. the past week fires have been raging in the vicinity oi Dry Lake. about three miles west of Flag staff, and although their Was but little destruction of timber, the under brush and fallen trees made an in. tensely hot fire, and at times there Was great danger to the railroad and the Aver Lumber company. During the week the fire broke out in three different places, and in each instance burned about mile square. Supt Riordan, of the mill, and a large force of men fought the fire night and day, and only by earnest efforts and hard labof, was the mill, compan, saved from gfeat injury. The flames are now under control, and there Is little fear of another outburst.

There is strong prejudice in the minds of many persons against white wash, but it has virtues oi which all are not informed, it is generally sup. poscd to be only a cheap substitute for paint. but properly made and ap. piled, whitewash is a great protection against fire, simply bv rendering the wood slow to take fire or burn. Shingles thoroughly saturated in strong lime water, with some common salt added to the solution before put ing On, will scarcely burn at all.

THE .'ITERALD's" FIRE ALARM.
ANNAPOLIS, July 10th, 1884.

ANNAIOLA0g Ouiy AVbh, A0S
M, Editor:
The Herald was evidently in error
in the statement made yesterday,
that system of fire alarms had been
established for this city.
The real facts are, that Rescue
Hose Company No /, has suggested
system, which is now being con-
sidered by committee of the City
Council. The Independent Company
No. 2. has also suggested system,
but neither of these have as yet been
adopted by the committee. Until
this is done, (because the authority
to make the selection rests entirely
with the City Council, J it is an error to
say that system of alarms has been
established And when the selection
is made, it will of course, be uniform
and for all the companies; and it is to
be hoped that it will be rather more
comprehensive and better suited for
the purpose than the alarm published
yesterday, namely an alarm for an
entire ward. FIREMAN.
