waiting for the hole to cool, Foreman
Knight remained after the day shift had
gone off duty and at once commenced
putting in the blast. He had dropped
several sticks of giant powder into it, and
was bending over the hole and just drop
ping another stick down it when the
charge exploded. Remarkable to relate;
however, the only injury done him was by
small splinters of rock cutting his face
and hands, causing only slight flesh
wounds.

toward States Attorney Longnecker, he
said: I'll fix you If [ ever get chance

Paid the Penalty.

New York, January 23-Daniel Dris-
coll was hanged this morning. He left
his cell at 7:26, reached the gallows at
7:28 and after saying prayer the black
cap was put over his head and the weight
fell at 7:29. He died instantly. Driscoll's
last words were Jesus have mercy on
me-" His neck was broken. The crime
for which Driscoll was executed was the
killing of his mistress, Elizabeth Garrity,
Bessie Garrity, as she was generally called,
at 4 o'clock on the morning Of June Goth,
1886. It was the closing exploit of Sc
ries of crimes that had won for Driscoii
an evil notoriety among associates and
won him the position of chief of the
"Whyos," one of the worst of the many
gangs of law breakers that infest the city.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, January 18-
Minnie Ray, a daughter Of prominent
citizen of this place threw herself in front
of an engine on the Midland express,
which passed here at II o'clock last night,
and was instantly killed. Her head was
crushed and torn from her shoulders, and
her body was horribly mangled. She left
a letter to her parents saying she was a
great sinner, and would rather die than
disgrace them. 1t was learned that she,
few days ago, rented cottage belonging
to her father for $50, and spent the
money. It is thought this preyed on her
mind and she concluded to take her life.

Died During "a Prize Fight.

New YORK, January 22.-A fatal prize
fight occurred at Fort Hamilton this
morning. The fight was between two
feather weight pugilists, known as Billy
Dempsey and SWipes, the newsboy, and
was fought at Nick Thompson's hotel in
the presence of a number of sporting
men. Dempsey appeared to be in poor
condition at the start and during the first
round fell heavily forward, as was then
supposed in fit. A physician was sum
moned but the man died within fifteen
minutes. The spectators hastily fled and
Dempsey's antagonist is supposed to have
left the state to avoid arrest. The pro-
prietor of the hotel says he does not know
the names of any of the persons present
at the fight. Dempsey's Identification
cannot be ascertained, though rumor has
it that he was pressman on New York
evening paper. He was about % years
old and leaves wife and an infant child.
The body remains at the hotel until an
inquest can be held. Swipes, the news
boy, is a typical newsboy in appearance.
He says he is 19 years old and lives at the
neWsboys home. Swipes has surrendered
to the police of Brooklyn and has been
locked up. Probably all the others con
cerned in the fight will be arrested

tween them and the pier and the gap was
gradually widening under the influence Of
sharp wind that began to cover them
with spray, while the rising waves dashed
off great sections of the ice foe upon which
the lives OF the quartette depended. For
over an hour men, women and children on
shore watched the helpless four running
frantically about on the ice and family
heard their hoarse shouts for assistance.
