Suffocated in a Shaft.

VOID was received in the city yesterday
morning that a boy named Yule, who
lived near Hampton. had been suffocated
in coal shaft Coroner Halves and
Deputy Coroner Eckhart went out to
Hampton and held an inquest, which de.
veloped the following facts Willie Yule
and one of his companions started out
Saturday evening to bring home the cows,
which were in pasture. Near the pas
ture was an old shaft, which had been
used in getting out coal Willie Yule
determined to go down in it, and he
jumped down in the platform, distance
of about eight feet. He attempted to
descend the ladder but had only taken
two rounds downwards when his head
flew back and he dropped down in the
shaft. He was poisoned by the foul air,
known as the black damps. Several wit.
nesses were examined and corroborated
the testimony of the small boy who had
gone along with Yule. The jury returned
the following verdict:
We, the undersigned jurors sworn &c
inquire of the death of Willie Yule, il
oath do find that he came to his death By
black damps in Durlfrey's old air shaft,
| and We find furthermore that there is ne
blame attached to any one. L. F. A

A Fine Place.

One of the incest places in the city in
which to enjoy quiet glass of beer is the
Atlantic beer hall. 1t is one of those
places where you can easily see when you
enter that you will be treated courteously,
as Mr.. J. Westphal, the proprietor, is one
of that class of human beings who smiles
on all, both great and small Mr.. West
phal has lately had his place refitted and
it now is one of the finest arranged places
of the kind in the west. The best grades
of beer, wines, liquors and cigars, which
can always be found at his place, is one
great secret of his success. If you want
to enjoy game of billiards or pool, you
can be accommodated with tables of the
latest pattern, and if you wish sand,
witch at any hour of the day or evening,
you will be served with any kind you ask
for. Give Westphal a call when you need
anything in his line.

A CLOSE CALL.
A Runaway Team C0llides With Car.
riage and Pitches Miss Annie Hem
dersOn out onto the Ground.

Runaways have got to be SO common
an occasion in the city here lately, that
we have been keeping the heading "a
Runaway" standing all the time. When
ever the compositors see crowd gather
in the streets or hear noise, the ''phat'
man is instructed to go and get the head
ing, and wait for the account of the rum
away to be sent up stairs. This morning
Mr. John Paulsen, who lives in the upper
end OF the city, brought load of brick to
town. He unloaded his brick and was
going back home, when, having some
business, he stopped his team near Zim-
mer's tailor shop and went in to transact
his business. While he was gone wagon
came laundering by, and at the wagon
Paulsen's team became scared, and turn
ing clear around they started down Sec
ohd avenue at break neck pace. Reach>
ing Seventea nth street they turned and
went down the street with increased
speed, if anything. Miss Annie Hender-
son and her friend, Miss Cox, were driv,
ing down Third avenue. and noticing the
team coming down Seventeenth street
hurried to get out of the way, but it was
a futile attempt. Before they could pos
sibly get out of the way the wagon struck
their buggy, swapping of the hind wheels,
and pitching both ladies out on the
ground Miss Henderson was thrown I'm.
der the buggy, but very fortunately she re-
ceived no serious injury. The team went
straight on, but in trying to turn Third
avenue, one of the horses ran his head
against a post causing him to fall
like a log. AS soon as possible Miss
Henderson was taken to Folsom's feed
store, where her face was washed, and tn,
extent of her injuries ascertained to be
nothing serious The left side of her face
was somewhat bruised, but besides thi:
and a terrible shaking up, nothing serious
was experienced. She was put in car
riage later on and taken to her home OF
Eighteenth street. The only damage tt
the runaway team was a cut in the lief
hind leg. 1t was very fortunate that thu
runaway was not more serious, as every
one who saw the collision expected to SEE
both the ladies in the carriage killed.

Meetings.

The young people of the Baptist church
will hold meeting at the church tonight
A full attendance of members is desired,
and cordial invitation is also extended
to the general public to attend.
There will be meeting of the Young
Peoples Working association of the Cen
trail Presbyterian church next Friday al
7:30 p, m. All young people are cordially
invited to attend.
The attendance at the meeting of the
Y. M G. A held at their rooms yester,
day afternoon in the Weber block, was
good and great deal of interest was
manifested by all who were present. The
exercises were of devotional nature, anG
the addresses, as we'll as the singing, coul(
not have been surpassed. The meeting:
are growing in attendance, also in interes
each Sunday.

Peoria.


Peoria is great town, and each day
brings evidence that it is getting greater.
The average Peorian is not happy unless
he is in the midst of some excitement.
Two state conventions made things pretty
lively for some time, but when the noise
and hustle attending both gath
erings had died away, Peoria
pinned for something else to satisfy
her desire for pleasure The latest news
from this town where whisky is more
free than water is that the board of alder
men and the school inspectors have en-
gagged in a game of base ball. 1t is I'M
necessary to state that the announcement
of such contest attracted larger crowd
than any other base ball game of the seas
son. The players muffed balls, pounded
air, and INDUCED in the most outlandish
gestures for three hours and a half, dur.
ing which time they had worried through
seven innings Darkness here interrupted
the contest which was decided in favor
of the inspectors, the score standing 81
to 20. We supposed that Mayor War,
ner kept his men in better trim than tc
allow lot of school inspectors TO lay
them out in such manner.
What Peoria will do next to dispell the
monOtony of the situation is not known
The discovery of magnetic girl within
her borders would not be outside the
range of possibilities.

Sunday in the CITY.

One of the quietest Sundays in the year
1884 was that of yesterday, The morn
ing opened up bright, the sun shining
clear, but long before nine o'clock clouds
began to gather. The streets did not
present an active appearance, as is usual
ly the case, the people remaining at home
in preference to coming up town. There
were services in but four of the churches
in the city, the United and Broadway
Presbyterian and the First and Ninth
street NJ E. church. In the afternoon it
threatened rain, and it was owing to this
fact, no doubt, that the people did not
congregate on the streets, as usual, and
talk politics, etc. 1t was quiet day, in
deed, for Sabbath day.

Didn't Want His Wife Embraced.

An amusing incident happened at the
Union depot this morning. Just as the
Atlantic train was about to pull out for
the west, a portly lady rushed into the
depot, and bought ticket. When she
got out on the platform she attempted to
climb on the train, which was moving out
A brakesman saw her and stopped the
train. He jumped off and essayed to help
the lady who weighed about twice as
much as he did. Failing in the ordinary
methods he was finally obliged to put his
arms around her and almost lift her on
the platform The husband of the lady
who was in forward car, saw this. and
desire to be of service to his wife sud-
denly permeated his mind. He stormed
around the platform and after the train
started, was going to whip the conductor
for having brakesman who would insult
ladies by putting his arms around them.
The chivalrous husband was finally pac>
flied. but vowed that there would be q
funeral procession if the like ever oc>
Cured again.

Having boat, Bro. Belts concluded to
put it in use, so he has gone to work

The Tower,

Notwithstanding the fact that Sunday
was dismal day, a great many of our
people, young as well as old went out to
Black Hawk watch tower, and spent part
of the day. The tower has always been
great place for our people to visit, es-
pecially on Sunday, and yesterday was no
exception. Some of the people who vis>
tied the tower, embraced the opportunity
to visit the cemetery, which, with its ample
green foliage and luxurious grass, pre-
scented a fine appearance.
