A SICKENING SIGHT.
The Horrors of Snow Slides in
Colorado.
Terrible Sutferings of the I'm
prisOned Miners.
President Cleveland on the
Labor Question.
Victims of Snow Slides.

DENVER, Jan. 23.-An Aspen special
to the Tribune Republican says. The Ma.
room Pass road has been the scene Of a
fearful loss. During the recent storm
the horrors of Thursday were intensified
by Developments, yesterday, which show
the pass to be a snow-bound tomb. While
men were hunting yesterday for the bod
les in Thursdays snow-slide, word was
received of another further up the canyon.
The avalanche struck the latter place at
midnight, Tuesday. Clayton Gannett,
Sol Camp. Charles futile, Martin Riley,
Jap Farris, August Goodwin, AL Sons and
M. Patterson were asleep in cabin which
was supposed to be safe, as it was built
in a grove of heavy timber, but when the
slide came down it snapped the trees like
pipestems, hurting them against the cab
in, crushing everything in a mass. Mar
tin Riley and August Goodwin had their
backs broken, and Riley was suffocated.
When the slide struck the timber, it
divided, a part rushing across the gulch,
burying a cabin on the opposite side, oc
cupied by three men, without i%niuring
them. These men worked their way out
at noon and started to rescue their friends.
Wednesday eve, after cutting through
numberless fallen trees, they effected an
entrance into the cabin and found three
dead, the other FIVE suffering terribly from
suffocation. Sol Camp lay on his face
dead: the bodyof Jap Farris was pinioned
across the back by heavy timbers; Riley
died five minutes after the disaster, his
dying commissions nearly causing the
death of a man underneath him. Camp
had sustained a terrible cut on the head
from which the blood flowed profusely; he
became terribly thirsty and being in a
position where he could hold his hands
under the bleeding head and lift them to
his mouth, he quenched his thirst by
drinking his " blood. All the men
alive were nearly crazy. When found all
were undressed and had bitten themselves
in the hands and arms in their delirium,
and presented a sickening spectacle. They
may all recover, but in the case of one or
two it is extremely doubtful.

Cleveland on the Labor Question.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-At a recent
meeting of the committee on labor of the
house of representatives, statements were
made that tho spirit Of the eight hour
law was being openly violated or evaded
in certain government departments, and
chairman O'Neil was empowered to pre-
sent TO the house a resolution of inquiry
directed to various secretaries asking in
direct terms whether the law was being
enforced by them. Pending the intro
duction of the resolution, Mr.. 0'Neil
sought an audience with the president.
which was granted this afternoon and
lasted for over an hour. On the matter
of the eight hour law, the president said
II believe that the law is a sound one
and a good one, and that it should be en-
forced to the letter. | have no informa-
ton regarding instances of its violation or
evasion, but if such instances are prescn- /
ted to me | will see that the abuse is rem
edied and the full spirit of the law en-
forced, which | understand 10 be to pay
workmen in government employ for eight
hours work daily, what is paid outside of
the government employ for a full days
work. The government cannot afford to
set the example of a non-enforcement and
non-observance OF its own enactments.

better opportunity has never been presented

be hoped he will meet with great success.

a most destructive confiagration which, be-

business portions of the city. More than

out of employment, without means of sup
port, and scores of families are rendered
homeless, destitute of shelter and necessa-
ries of life. The situation appeals emphati-
cally to our sympathies and generosity and
with the recollection still fresh in our minds
of the generous responses made in Port
land behalf during a similar calamity, you
are hereby invited to attend a public meet
ing in the council chamber in City Hall, Oct.
IS, at II o'clock a. m, to raise contributions
of money, food and clothing tor the afflicted
citizens Of Eastport.
