ed at Poke Hollow, caused by the sink
ing of the eatth's surface there yesterday,
and further drop this morning. The
people are terror-stricken, and are aban-
doning their houses as quickly as possl-
bic. This morning while the miners were
at breakfast they were startled By a loud
report and the shaking of the ground as
II by an earthquake. Immediately the
foundations of the houses began
to crumble away, and the dwell
lngs themselves turned over,
causing the inmates to rush
precipitatelY from their homes and seek
placed of safety. For over distance of
two miles every dwelling house situated
above the treacherous ground is liable TO
fall into the mine, SIX hundred feet be-
low. The bottoms of the wells dropped
out, and the place is threatened with
water famine Fortunately, no lives Fera
lost, but many were injured. -

OVER THE FALLS.

Eleven Human Lives and Number of AMI
mails Lost by the Parting of a Rotten Ferry
Cable in MOntana-The Boat With Its
Load PIuDgeS Over the Falls.
HELENA, MONTANA, June 10.
Sunday afternoon, while the ferry boat
at Thompson's Falls was crossing the
river a cable broke and the boat went
over the Falls, 800 yards below. The boat
had on eleven men bound for the C9ur
d'Alene mines, and thirteen pack horses,
each carrying 800 pounds of supplies for
Eagle City. The current was very swift
and powerful. AS soon as the cable
broke all the passengers except two
jumped overheard and struggled vainly
to reach the shore, but were swept
over the falls. The boat was righted af-
ter going over the brink and lodged
against Belknap Bridge short distance
below, where the two passengers who
still clung to it were rescued. Two men
on shore took skiff and tried to effect
the rescue of those who jumped into the
water, but were also swept over the falls.
OF the thirteen men concerned eleven
were lost. They were all strangers going
TO the mines and their names are not
known. All the pack animals were
drowned

cent function to me, am consoled
by the reflection that neither the
Democratic party nor the republic, for
whose future that party is the best guar
Rntee, is now, or ever can be, dependent
upon any one man for their successful
progress iTthe path of a noble destiny.
Having given to their welfare whatever

such labors as their welfare now de-

Depression in the wooden Trade.

: =" ~
Howard d. Thomas & Co., of Holding
ton, manufacturers ofwoolens have failed.
Their ratings were at $4,000 to
100000. The depreciation in the
price of wool is said to be the cause. In
an interview the veteran cotton-woolen
manufacturer said: ~ have been i'm the
trade for fifty years and never saw it as du5l
as now. Prices are low and there seems
to be no demand for goods" The manu-
facturers are unanimous in the opinion
that foreign competition, over production
and the free trade agitation caused the
depression.

Everything He Possessed Than Have His
Wife MOIested by BurgIRrs-A Sentiment
That Carries One Back to the Days of
Chivalry.
ELMrRA, N. Y, June 10.
The recent robbery of SO, 900 worth of
diamonds from the residence of the Hon.
G. G. B. Walker, in Corning, during his
absence, was committed with the greatest
ease, because the safe in which the jew
elry was kept was not locked, has given
rise to much surprise and unfavorable
comment. No one could understand
how a man of the Congressman's strict
business methods could be so careless in
regard tozthe protection of his household
treasures, especially as many of them,
through ASSOCIATION and long family pos
session, had value to him much beyond
their intrinsic worth When questioned
on the subject by friend the latter was
still further surprised to be told by Mr..
Walker that the fact of the safe being left
open was not the result of carelessness
or thoughtlessness, butft was left open by
his express order and direction. "When
am home" said the x-Congressman, 81
always lock the safe and put the key away
When ] go away from home it is understood
in my house that the safe must not
be locked. You will remember that
when the Wellsboro Bank was robbed a
few years ago the cashier and members
of his family were treated with great
cruelty and violence by the robbers be-
cause of their resisting demands for the
keys to the vaults and safe. That set me
to thinking, and one day 1 said to my
wife, we have some things in that safe
which are valuable and very dear to us.
Now, it is only question of time when.
some
RUFFIAN OR RUFFIANs
win come after them If am home the
chances are that they will not get them,
but may be away at the time. If they
come then aud find that safe locked they
will hesitate at no personal violence to-
ward you in their efforts to effect an en-
trance to it. All the precious relics and
treasures in the world would not be re-
compense for the results of such treat
from home the safe must not
be locked. Then when the robbers
come, they win secure their booty and re-
tire without disturbing you" Robbers
came while was away, secured the
booty, and left without disturbing Mrs.
Walker or any one else, They were even
considerate enough to administer ether to
my wife for fear of disturbing her. Sup
pose that safe had been locked. don't care
even to conjecture what the consequences
might have been, and feel that in saving
my family from them, the paying of
$4,000 was a triling matter"
