A SENSIBLE MULE,

NEW YORK. Feb. 12.-ThOmas Dean and
John Gee, laborers on the new alueduct at
Shaft No. o, Sleepy Hollow, undertook 10
convey to the heading of the shaft two
cases Of giant powder. each weighing fifty
pounds, yesterday. The explosive was oil
a car drawn by mule. On the same car.
although contrary TO the orders given to the
workmen, were several cans containing
kerosene oil. and on one of the cans rested
lighted miners lamp. Suddenly the mule
baked and kicked and overturned the car.
The lamp set fire to the oil. Dean and Gee
started for the heading of the shaft. /, 900 fet t
distant. They had nearly reached the open
ing when the expected explosion occurred.
Several cars were utterly demolished. and
the air was filed with fragments of rock
and timber, Neither of the men. however,
was seriously injured. Gee was slightly
bruised by some of the flying fragments
and also suffered somewhat from the con
cussiOn of the air. Dean was lifted off his
feet and thrown up against the roof of the
tunnel. He also received some bruises. but
he suffered mainly from fright. The mule
as if aware of the serious results of it,
freshness, kicked itself from the traces and
| initiated its drivers in taking immediate
| flight Although the men had the mule
handicapped by good start it was a close
race between the three to see which should
reach the shaft first. The mule had q
slight advantage, as the men were of course
bound to keep out of its reach as we'll as to
get away from the dynamite.

A Grocer Goes Up.

Special to the GLOBE
WINoNA, Feb. IL. ID. Craighead,
the grocer on Fourth and Main streets,
made an assignment last evening to A.
p. Lamberton. His liabilities will amount
to several thousand dollars. the principal
creditors beng Ii. w. Lamberton and
White IL Preece of Winona, John A. Cole
of Rochester, and number Of the leading
wholesale houses in Chicago, Milwaukee
and La Crosse. Craighead came here from
Ohio about a year and a half ago and
started IN fancy grocery on Center street.
He was always reliable, kept a tirst-class
stock, and soon picked up good business.
Last spring he moved into the Yansen
block on Fourth street, which he leased for
term of five years. and until lately he has
been doing paying business. But the
large expense incident upon the running of
fancy grocery, coupled with numerous
losses which Mr.. Craighead has sustained
the past year, drained too heavily on his
limited capital, and the demands of his i'm
patient creditors crowded him too closely.
Thursday afternoon his team, wagons and
sleigh were taken by White Il Preece on an
attachment, and later in the day the assign
ment was made and the keys turned over to
the sheriff. An invoice is being taken and
a statement of the assets and liabilities will
be filed with the clerk of the district court
within ten DAYS.

The Jamaica negro, acting on his own
volItion, will not work at all. With the
proportionate disbursement for supervis-
ion required by intelligent white labor,
he VIII go through the form of working.
To get even spasamodic w~ork-real work
out of him, requires a grossly dispropor-
tionate outlay in foremen's wages. He has
no labor-morality. Directing his labor is
like driving a horse who stands still as
he fails to hear his masters e%xhortatio ms.
The foreman of a gang of these negroes
cannot leave n of them with an hours
work laid out for MIN, and return at the
end of an hour to find the work done.
1t is literally the fact that the average
canal laborer will not work for more than
ten minutes c~onsecutively as the result OF
one initial impulse. At the end of that
time be must receive n new Impetus, and
this new impetus must be of "A tangible
nature. IL is not sufficient for him to
know that the foreman is in his imme-
diate vicinity. He must meet the fore
mans eye or hear the foreman's voice
when he stops at the end of those ten
minutes. He is the worst laborer in the
world. The negro, as seen from the cot
ton plantations of Mississippi, seems
to an Anglo-Saxon marvelously stupid
and lazy. The Jamaica negro is more
than that. He is wholly devoid of any
sense of the Righteousness of hard work.
