A Man Caught in the Avalanche
in Netf7s Canyon,

Napoleon Bonaparte Johnson. q
rather eccentric character, who has
been around in this city and the sur
rounding settlements for many years
past, met his death by an avalanche in
Nef7s Canyon. From gentleman who
resides in Mill Creek, it was yesterday
learned that between three and four
weeks ago, Johnson, who had agreed
to furnish some timber for gentleman
named Nelson, went up Neff's Canyon
for that purpose. Since that time sew
eral very severe storms have occurred
in that locality, and fears of his safety
were expressed by all who knew how
dangerous II was TO attempt trip up
the canyon at this season of the year.
Shortly after he left. however, a rumor
gained ground that Johnson had re
turned and gone to neighboring set
tlement. A few days ago. however, it
was learned that this was not correct
no one had seen him since be had an
nounced his intention of going up the
canyon-and party on Tues
day last startedI up the canyon
in search of him. No trace
point hai been reached at which a
logger's cabin was located. Here an
Immense avalanche about 300 feet long
had desc, n led, burying the cabin be-
meath about three feet of snow. Sur
missing that possibly the unfortunate
man had taken refuge in the cabin, a
search was Immediately commenced,
and after digging through the slide the
body of Johnson was found under the
timbers of the cabin, which had been
literally crushed to pieces. The body
was firmly wedged i'll the snow, and
life. of course, being extinct. the party
which consisted OF Mes >rs. Christian
Nelson AID Isaac Moses-returned
home for assistance. On Wednesday,
seven men wen: up, recovered the body
and returned with it. 1t was evident
from the surroundings that Johnston
was in bed when the avalanche struck
his habitation. The coroner's jury
rendered verdict in accordance with
the facts given above, and further said
which was evident from the condi-
ton of the body-that the deceased had
met his death probably two weeks be-
fore his body was discovered. The
body was brought to the mouth of the
canyon, denuded of clothing, and
buried in the snow, considerable diff
Guilty being experienced in handling the
remains. On Thursday morning. it
was disinterred, properly washed and
dressed, placed in coffin, and given a
decent burial. The deceased left moth
Ing. and the expenses of the funeral
were met by the Mill Greek people.
Johnston claimed to be son of Gen
eral Albert Sidney Johnston. and if his
statement be true it is evident that
there had been some irregularities in the
Generals family, as the deceased was
either quadroon or an octoroon.

all the holes and corners of wretched-
ness, where vice and poverty. like twin
wolves, had hunted down their
prey, the policeman and the reporter
always found the hooded sister or the
missionary ahead of them. They were
the first to come. They were The last
to go. They stayed and put up thrir
supplication when all else of ear h had
forsaken the wretch. They folio ed
him to the prison cell, and they stood
beside him on the gallows, and they
never forgot in all the coloquy of sin
and the cry of human vengeance the
eternal brotherhood of man. And they
wanted no pay, and they got no praise.
They We're doing that Masters work.
True, it was 1900 years ago when He
called them and bid them go out and
bind up the broken hearts and dry the
tears, and thus, with tender touches
OF tone, they carry out His
mission; and in that time en-
pires have fallen and races have be
come extinct, but these little streams
have widened and deepened till they
enclrcle our globe like its atmosphere
and sweeten myriads OF arid hearts"
These extracts will give an idea of the
lecturers style. In appearance Mr..
Wheeler is quiet gentleman OF just 90
years. He speaks earnestly but with
admirable control. His new departure
is considerable of a surprise to his
friends. who acknowledge him to be the
most brilliant of writer's and consider
able OF philosopher, though unaware
before that he was an admirer of tie

the Government doesn't want him. These
departments have in them to-day some
men with as good heads as you will
hnd anywhere in the world. Were they out
in the rough-and-tumble world, dependent
upon their own energies for success, and
with 10 scope to their ambition. there is no
telling how high they might rise But here
they have little advancement TO hope for
and, living up to their salaries, as most OF
them do, they become in time machines

tyeness ground out of their heads. Did you

WEST RUTLAND. VT, Feb. 15.-The first fatal
casualty that ever occurred in the marble quar-
ries here by the falling OF rock from the roof.
CURED Saturday. About one hundred thousand
tons OF rock had beeu disintegrated by frozen
water which percOlated through the roof and
loOsened the immense mas. The used part of the
quarry is $50 feet deep, while an unused rear pOr
ton is forty feet deeper and filled with water now
completely frozen. Foreman Edward K. Cops
with fifteen men were working in the quarry when
the rock began to fall near them. Cops and Ma
pOleOn NORdette ran on to the ice, While others
escaped in different directions. A few moments
later and another mass OF rock fell an immense
bOwlder striking Cops and breaking through the
ice, buried him in the frozen waters beneath.

missile and had a leg broken. but managed TO
crawl to place of safety. Several men were in
iured by falling stones and earth upon the last
occasion. People rushed to the mouth of the
quarry, among them the wives and mothers of
the men in the pit. The grief of the young widow
and the aged parents OF Cops on learning their
loss was hearfrendinP
