HER SOUL EBBED IN SONG.

A Sire CALI summoned the ambulance
from Gouvernaur hospital to number Al
Hester street at exactly Z o'clock last Wed
nesday evening. The surgeon found a lit
tie girl, six years old, almost roasted to
death The child's name was Anna Ash
p1rvis. Her parents sent her TO the cellar
| for some fire wood. She carried a lighted
lamp in her hand. Going down the cellar
! stairs she stumbled. The lamp fell from
her grasp and exploded. The flames Of
the burning fluid soon enyeloped her en-
tire body.
Quickly wrapping the crisped wriggling
mass Of humanity in what is known as a
Stokes prepared Sheet the surgeon told
the driver to get to the hospital quickly.
The horse seemed to take in the situation
for he needed no urging. Tenderly plac-
ing the poor little sufferer in a cot, the
house staff did all that IS known to science
70 alleviate her agony. It was impossible
to save her life. Under the influence of a
narcotic she 500 fell asleep.
Thus she lay slowly breathing for seven
hours. Her face was so swollen she could
not open her eyes. The light Of this world
| was forever shut out from her. About $50
nept morning she showed signs of return
ING consciousness. The watchful nurse
asked her if she would take a drink. She
distinctly answered Eyes" A little brandy
and milk was given her, andthenthe nurse
ran and called House Surgeon Aspell, say
ing the little one was awake and talking.
In a minuet he was beside the cot. He
felt the pulse, %ominously shook his head,
cave some more instructions, and turned
to go away. As he did SO the little Great
Gre moved her body She turned half
around. The dim light of a candle shone
on her blackened face. The swollen lips
pursed out, and in a clear, sweet voice the
dying child began to sing the hymn:
Nearer, my God, to Thee.
The doctor and nurse stood transfised.
The other patients il the silent. darsened
ward leaned On their elbows and drank il
the sweet melody. The t5fss verse com
pleted, she gradually sank back OF her
pillow. Her strength began to fail aud
with it her voice, and only the %humming-
like distant music Of the ar Of the hymn
could be heard.
How sweet yet weird that hu1nming
sounded The candle lent it, meamre LIGHT

English Regulations of Franchises.

You ought to have a law in this country
or this state like we nave in the old country.
We don't have great conclaves over there,
but when any members of the royal family
visit a town all the country focks in, and
there are crowds which would almost rival
the Cannon concert throng. At the Derby,
st Leger, and other great races there are
also crowds varying from 100000 close to
1000, OOO. The omnibuses and street cars on
those occasions double and treble their fares,
so as to get right up to their franchise maxi
ordinary trains and put on specials, which
charge five times the ordinary rates. The
restaurants and refreshment booths follow suit
and are generally about half as rapacious as
the fair grounds refreshment contractor was
the other day.
All this sounds very bad, but there is a good
side to it. The conveyances must placard
themselves with the announcement that the
minimum fare /, 50 much, the railroads must
hang up placards at every station OF depot
and advertise in l don't know how many
papers, and purveyors of light refreshments
who wish to charge a shilling (which is
twenty-five cents for a sandwich, or seven
pence halfpenny (which is fifteen cents
for muddy water labeled coffee, can only do
so If they post up notices conspicuously of
their intention. Failing such notices a man
can eat what he likes, pay ordinary prices,
and if he is interfered with, wind up by
bringing an action for assault.-English Wis !
itor in Globe Democrat.

Anaconda.

P.J. Maloney, of Anaconda, called at
The MINER office last night, and requested
the following statement to he made: That
the Article in yesterday evenings Inter
Mountain, in relation to the return to
work OF the men at Anaconda is erroneous.
That only fifteen men vent to work up to
last evening, and nobody knew what sort
OF work they began, or what wages they re-
ceived. These - men are now workingin the
concentration. There are none working in
furnaces. None work in the night. That
the rumor about the Northern Pacific
bringing in a number OF men is a hoax;
that all the smoke that rises in Anaconda
comes from private chimneys. Few men
have left Anaconda, and the entire working
force that formerly were engaged in Ana

There are numbers OF watchmen employed
by the company to guard the company's
property. Mr.. Maloney further desires it
that under no consideration will the
men go to work at reduced rates. That a
meeting was held yesterday, which resolved
that they would work at no reduced rate,
and called for aid from Butte and vicinity.
That thus step was taken not only in be-
half of anaconda men, but also those oil

also desires it stated that he is certain that
the company need no have no fear that the

What does the Inter Mountain mean by
it's double-faced dealing in this Anaconda
matter? When Mr.. DAILY made a propo-
sitien to the smelter men in regard to a re-
duction OF wages the Inter Mountain was
as dumb as an oyster and failed even to
refer to the matter in it's news columns.
After the matter was old and stale it came
out in a double-leaded column editorial
attacking The MINER because it referred to
the proposition to cut wages as "Mr.
Days Proposition" The MINER first
gave the news OF the intention to start up
the smelter. It then published a statement
OF a well-known gentleman OF Anaconda to
the effect that the works were not really in
in operation. Upon this the Inter Noun.

The Rocky Mountain Mining Review
thinks it is the duty of the West and South
to see that no man is elected President of
the United States in 1888 who is opposed
to bi-metallism. The civilized world has
discovered this to be the only remedy for
its disordered commerce, and as this
country is expected to take the chief part
in the restoration OF silver to free coinage,
we should not obstruct the movement by
placing another monometallic administra.
ton at the head of affairs. This question
must be met and settled in the next four
years, and it can be settled in no better
way than by heading the will of the ma.

fore thu next Congress will be the free coin

made in the city al in any other place OF

Furthermore, there never was a "cow.

and if Mr.. Kelly stated this he told a false
hood. We trust our Oakland contempt

General Nathan Kimball. now engaged in

is in charge OF "Clemm, the Drummer Boy

to the dreadful works at Fredericksburg on

WHAT ARE THE FACTS;

In an article under the captain of "Wha,
does The MINER mean ?" the Inter Noun

and arrives at conclusions not justified by
the facts. 1t is in bad taste for a paper to
insult the intelligence of it's readers by tell.
ing q broad gauge lie in an attempt to
make a point against a rival Journal, and
in the end it is a losing business. No one
but a crank or n fool would indulge in it.
Tho writer on the Inter Mountain has been
in the newspaper business long enough, and
sufficiently understands the meaning of the
language to know that The MINER simply
published a statement about the resump-
ton OF work at Anaconda under the name
OF, and by the authority of Mr.. P. J. Ma
loney, oi Anaconda.
The MINER did not vouch for the correct.
ness OF the statement nor did it pass any
opinion upon the matter either way. It
merely, at the request OF Mr.. Maloney and
a gentleman with him, both of whom said
they had just arrived from Anaconda, gave
publicity to the statement of these gentle
men. Last evening several gentlemen
