Con. Sullivan and Pete Owens
Killed Py Falling Down n shaft.

Phoebe Record, Jan. sd.
We are again visited by one of those
fatal accidents which is always connected
with mining, and which is unavoidable.
On New Years day, Pete Owens and
Con. Sullivan, out ut the Mendha mine,
were, without warning, sent to eternity.
The men, having completed their days
work at about 5 o'clock, were ascending
in the bucket, and when within about
ten feet of the top, Pete McRae, who
was attending the within, looked down
into the shaft and said to Owens, "Pete
amt that nice 2" and Owens little dream
ing that it was his death ride, answered,
at is too slick for anything" The words
bad scarcely escaped the man's mouth,
when the sweep, fastened to the drum OF
the within, gave way and the bucket
dashed to the bottom Of the shaft, a dis
lance Of 189 feet. McRae, seeing the
bucket break loose, and being unable to
do anything to stop its descent, rushed
over to the cabin and informed the men
there that Sullivan and Owens had fallen
to the bottom of the shaft and were
killed. The men rushed over TO the
mine and Grant Porter went down the
the ladder. At the 80-foot station he found
the body of Con. Sullivan lying on one
of the cross. logs, with his head resting
against the rock. Porter picked up the
body and carried 1t into the drift. He
found that Sullivan was not dead, and
fixing the body as comfortably as he
could he deceDded to the bottom of the
shaft, where he found Owens body.
Owens was dead. Both OF his legs were
broken, bis head cut, and the part OF the
body at the bowels all mashed together.
Being unable to do anything for Owens
Porter assembled to where Sullivan was.
Sullivan had just regsined his mind, and
as Porter advanced the injured man ex-
tending his hand, and grasping that of
Porter's calling him by name, said, I'm
hurt. I'm going to die" Then his mind
began wandering again. Sullivan's right
shoulder and arm were broken and
mashed, and there we're a couple Of slight
cuts on the head. He lived about an hour
after the accident. Word was at once sent
into own and a wagon was dispatched to
the mine, and the bodies brought in early
Friday morning. Pat Harrington left for
Royal City upon the news Of the accident,
reaching here and impaired the sad news
to S%ullivan's family. Con. Sullivan was a
native of Ireland, about IS years of age,
and leaves a wife and five young children.
Pete Owens was o native of Dodgeville,
Iowa county, Wisconsin, was about SO
years Of age, and was well known among
the miners, having worked in most of the
principal mining districts in Eastern Ne
vada.

The Cat and the Blair Bill.

The theory that the food that is eaten
very often colors the product Of the
brain finds strong support in recent
article on the BLAIR bill, which ap-
pears in the New York Sun, and from
which We quote the following:
"Far from stimulating communities
to help themselves, it would actually
set premium upon State torpor and
local neglect OF duty. 1t should be
plain as a pikestaff that if our organic
laws can ever be so construed as to per-
NIT the shifting Of school-tax from a
State to the Federal Treasury, there
would be no legal bar to the foisting of a
road-tax, a poor-tsx, q tax for the sup
port ofcourts, police, and prisons-or, in
short, all local burdens-upon the same
broad shoulders of the Central Govern
ment. OF course, the State and coun-
ty administrations, being thus deprived
Of any pretext for existence, would
sink into contempt and impotence, and
before long be suppressed"
Now, the logical and scientific deduc-
ton is that the SIMS Office-cat dined
off Ex-Governor ID. III. CHAMBER
LAIN's article opposing the BLAIR
bill and then wrote the above. Mr..
CHAMBERLAIN ideas arc reproduced
and coupled with lot Of vagaries
and Authorizations that indicate
serious attack of indigestion, which
is sympathized with by the nerve
centres of the brain. The Suns
cat should be dieted on light mat
ter and jokes until its digestion is
toned up and its morbid mental condi-
ton is dissipated. Its view is an ana
morphosis of bugbear that had already
been distorted. As we have intimated,
the question of cause and effect involved
in the SIMS article may have its uses
as an abstract scientific study, but
what sensible point the article itself
makes against the BLAIR bill will never
be found out.

New Postal Law.

POstmaster-General HATTON has sent
to the chairman of the House Commit
tee on Post-0fiices and P0st-ROadS
draft of bill providing for the reduce
ton of postage on second-class matter,
or newspapers mailed by publishers,
from two cents per pound to one cent
per pound. The Washington Post says
OF it:
at is provided in the draft that this
rate shall not apply to the circulation
of sample copies generally, although a
publisher may twice year circulate
sample copies, not to exceed in number
the actual circulation of the paper at
the date of mailing. The measure pro-
posed is a substitute for the bill intro
duced in Congress by Senator Brown,
which did not embody restrictions upon
the circulation of sample copies"
Senator BROwN is a practical, sensi-
BILE man. Why should there be two
rates of postage upon newspapers? We
see no reason why anybody and every
body should not be allowed to send
newspapers through the mails al the
same rates which newspaper propric-
tors pay. 1t is relict Of the old law
under which letter going from one
State into another was charged double
rates.
Mr.. NATIONS proposition to reduce
newspaper postage to one cent per
pound is sort of communism to which
even the New York Tribune makes no
objection Ii would be strange, indeed,
if newspaper proprietors were to object,
since they are the persons who will de-
rive the first and most direct advantage
from the new law. We do not object to
it, especially as weekly papers are
now sent free through the mails
in the counties wherein they are printed.
All that we ask is that there shall be
but one price charged anybody for send
ing sccond-class matter through the
mails. There ought to be no retail as
distinguished from wholesale paper
senders. The postmasters will thank
US if our suggestion be adopted, for
there are now four or more classes of
mail matter which might and ought to
be reduced to one class.

A memoir by NJ. +. F. lie Roux, on
an experimental demonstration of the
inversion Of the electromotor force pro-
duced by the contact of iron and cop
per at a high temperature, has been sub
mitted to the Academy of Sciences,
Paris. From the results Of several ex-
periments. conducted under varying
conditions. NJ. lie Roux concludes that
at about the temperature of 1000 de-
grees Centigrade an electric current
passing from the copper to the iron
heats the point Of contact, while cool
ing it at the ordinary temperature. A
knowledge of this fact, now for the first
time demonstrated, may, it has been
anticipated, affect not only the theory
Of thermo-electricity, but also that Of
certain chemical phenomena.

from all good Democrats who subordi-
nate cabals, divisions, and such ills to
the great common good of the party.
The glorious victory in October was to
great extent due to the burying of per-
sonalities and the absence Of factional
quarrels.
Will the great heart Of the party

Hope for Bonaparte's Death.
London TRUTH

Ithas often been asserted that in send
ing Napoleon Bonaparte to st. Helena
and in the mode in which he was treated
there, the Conservative Ministry of the
day hoped for his death. This is borne
out by the correspondence of Mr..
Croker, who, as Secretary of the Adj
miralty. was not only in the confidence
of Ministers. but was personally con-
cerned in Napoleon's detention. Writing
to Sir Robert Peel, he says: I" George
Cockburn is come back from St.
Helena. He gives us no hope oil
Bonaparte's dying. He cats, he
says, enormously, but he drinks lit
tie, takes regular exercise, and is in all
respects so very careful Of his carcass
that he may live twenty years. Writ
ing to lie Perc Elysee, who was attached
to the royal household of France. Mr..
Croker says: - L'homme dc 81. Helene

There is a call now for the extension
of the Danyille and New-River railway
from Stuart to Mount Airy, N. c., a
distance Of twenty-seyen miles, and the
people Of Henry county are considering
an application from the president Of the
road for the subscription of $4,000 ad-

payment of the interest semi-annually
at 6 per cent. and secure the people
against additional taxation. The vote
of the people of the county upon this
application will be taken on the 18th Of
February, per order Of the Hastings
Court. What the ideas Of the president
and directors of the railway as to the
extension to Mount Airy are is not yet

Peril OF the leTffHru hn""s'
capes from q fiery Death.
A Baltimore (Md.) special says
There were some exciting incidents and
narrow escapes from death during iire
in a tcnement-house at No. FL Alder
marie street tonight. There were forty
peoplc in the building, and before they
knew it the flames were all around
them. When the fremen reached the
place about 8 o'clock they found smoke
pouring from all the windows, and it
was with difficulty they could force
their way in to rescue the inmates. The
women were screaming at the top OF
thier voices, the children were crying,
and the men seemed dazed with fright.
The main trouble, however, occurred
on the third floor. There L. Long, his
wife, and two children were shut in and
the door locked. The firemen broke in,
and found Mr.. Long in the corner totally
unconscious. His wife lay on the floor
speechless from suffocation, and in her
arms was clasped her little child Ida,
two months old, while on the bed lay
Harry, a two-year-old boy. They were
quickly carried out and restoratives ap-
Piled. All are better now.
Mrs. Carrie Fisher, who lived in the
rear of the building, jumped from the
back porch, and received serious inju-
ries. Others were hurt in similar
manner. Fortunately no lives were
lost, and the damage to the building
was small.
