The Giant of the Comstock Killed by a
Cave in "A Drift.

The Giant of the Comstock Killed by a
Cave in Drift.
[Copyight, 1888, by the California Associated Press
VIRGINIA, March 27th-John H. Sulli-
van, miner employed in the Hale & Nor
cross, was caved on and killed this afternoon.
He was engaged in carrying timber through
the drift connecting the north and south
upraises above the 700 level. Sullivan had
just left the north upraise station with the
last timber for stop-set for the south up
raise. When he reached a point about 40
feet south of the north upraise slab of
rock weighing two tons slid upon him from
the wall of the drift and crushed him be-
meath its weight. He expired in few Sec
onds after being exricated.
A short time before the fatal accident
another miner, named Thomas Sullivan,
was taken TO the surface on account of be-
ing slightly injured by a cave in the same
drift. The drift where the cave occurred
connects the north and south upraises at a
hight of lis feet above the 700-foot level
track floor, and was run to strip the ore
preparatory 10 stopping, and for ventilating
purposes, and is what is termed working
drift, and it is not the custom to timber
such passages as closely as the main drifts
in mine.
Less than an hour before Sullivan was
killed Colonel r. N Graves and W. Price,
the latter foreman of the Hale & Norcross,
passed through the drift where the fatal
accident occurred. Foreman Pendergast
had also passed through short time pre-
vious to the accident, but saw no signs of
the ground sliding.
Sullivan was about so years of age, and
had been employed in the mine about four
months. He was one of the tallest men on
the lode, measuring SIX feet four inches
without his shoes, He was unmarried,
and so far as known had no relatives here.

New YORK, March 9th. -Elihu Root,
who with George Bliss was counsel for
Mrs. Ellen Hopkins in her divorce suit
against hnes s. Hopkins, is surprised at
Jay Gould's assertions that Mrs. Hopkins
IS the mysterious woman to whom Gould
referred in his statement that "a news
paper, cable company and a woman "
were the moving agencies behind the
recent efforts to secure his Indictment.
He said that Gould had nothing
to do with Hopkins. financially
or otherwise. Mrs. Hopkins procured a
divorce IN California on the grounds of de-
serlou. The paper Gould referred to Is the
Herald. He says that the paper has been
bitter toward him since the refusal of the

An Indian Scare Among Settlers Near
Flathead Lake.
HELENA, March 27th-A few days ago
word was received that the settlers north of
Flathead lake had discovered the murder
ers of the three white men, committed last
summer by Kootenai Indians, and had
armed themselves to go in search of and
punish the murderers. 1t would seem that
they had accomplished their purpose, for a
letter containing the following extract was
received from a resident of that section
Saturday.
Here we are. all up at G. NJ Lakins on
account of the K0otenai scare. All of the
families from ElIiott's down, except Henry
Bartletts are here. Those above Elliott's,
on this side, have gone to the Sheldon
scbool-house. Those on the east side have
retired to Ashley.
"The trouble arose from the lynching of
two Indian murderers at Penny's mill.
Though nothing definite has been learned
it is understood that the Kootenais have
taken the warpath.
"A squad of men from Selfish are guard
ing the point of rocks. Another of our
party are defending Lees ferry and we are
seeing to the Big Forks ford. Don't be
worried, for we don't anticipate serious
trouble"
Nothing has been heard from that sec
tion since then, and it is presumed there
has been no active hostilities.

ment Before the Committee.
WASHINGTON, March 27th.-The House
Committee on Pacific Railroads this morn
ing listened 10 the conclusion of the argu-
ment of Counselor Tweed, of the Central
Pacific Company. Tweed cited the decision
OF the Supreme Court to the effect that the
Government has no right as creditor
until the company's debt becomes due,
and that the only right it had at present
was the introduction of proper administra-
ton of the company's property. This
meant that it might provide for taking
twenty-five per cent. of the net receipts OF
the company.
He did not believe the Court would con-
slider that it was reasonable exercise OF
administrative power to disable company
from paying its existing obligations with a
view 10 making provision for future debt.
The Huntington bill providing for the re-
funding of the Southern Pacific debt,
Tweed said, was acceptable to the Central
Pacific Company.
