ACCIDENT At THE 81. LAwRENoE.
The Hosting Apparatus Flies In Pieces
in an Unaccountable Way Without
Injury to Any Person.

1
Yesterday morning about..a quarter past
10 an accident occurred at the st. Lawrence
hoisting works that viii probably always
remain mystery as to it's cause. Engineer
81 Hawley and Brakeman Gus Noble were
at their posts by the engine. The former
has a high reputation for skill in his pro-
fession and not the least blame for the &C.
cident attaches to him. The engine has
ceen in use for some years but was in first
rate order and believed to bes sound in every
particular. At the time mentioned one
age was ascending with car of ore while
the other was descending with an empty
car. The engineer observed sudden hitch
in the machinery and the cage that
had been ascending commenced to 60 down
like the other. He instantly reversed the
lever and applied the brakes but they had
lost power OF control over the reels which
began TO revolve with fearful velocity until
the fifteen hundred feet of steel rope coiled
round each reel had uncoiled and descended
the shaft, falling into the sump. The ma
chinery at the same time flew in pieces in
all directions, and tore out large holes in
the roof OF the shaft house. Other pieces
flew past the engineer who stood to his
post to the last amid the.fying machinery,
and miraculously escaped injury.
When the reporter visited the shaft
house, force of men under Master
Mechanic Cole OF the Anaconda Company
were removing the remains OF the broken
machinery about the right reel OF which
little beside the drum was left. The roof
had several large rents in it through
which parts OF the machinery had been
hurled and the carpenters were removing
boards in the wall back OF the engine that
had been broken in like manner. 1t had
been most perilous position for the men
about the engine. One of the cross beams
in the centre of the shaft house was broken
in two probably by the end Of
one of the ropes az it left the
reel and flew towards the top Of the gallows
frame. The left reel is apparently undam-
aged, but the right reel is totally wrecked.
No one could account for the origin Of the
occurrence. Some say the clutch slipped on
;he cage that was ascending, but all en-
]eavors to account for it are mere con.
ecture. The probability is that it will bea
month before the machinery can be re.
placed. though it is hardly probable that
jne mine will be allowed to remain idle so
ong, as it is more than probable that some
kind OF hoist will be reconstructed
Until then.
The men working in the mine at the time
II the accident to the hoist came out
through the Anaconda with which the
evels OF the st. Lawrence are connected.
70 injury was caused, so far as could be
earned, from the sudden descent OF the
ages, and altogether the accident was most
in regards exemption from injury
o anyone.

cedes less than 1000 Democratic majority
on Fleming, Democratic candidate for

has also pulled through.
There are still twelve counties NOT all

corrections in others, depends the result.

900 Worth of Silver, Captured.
BRIDGEPORT, Conn.,, November I'm A.
French and wife were arrested at the depot
in this city, last night, by detectives as
they were about taking train for Boston.
French has been employed during the
past three years, by the Bridgeport Copper
Co., his business being to extract silver
from copper ore. For some time past he
had been carrying on a system of stealing
the silver obtained. The company had no
means of knowing the exact amount OF
silver taken from each ton of ore, and
they trusted to his honesty. When ton
of ore would exceed the average he would
appropriate the excess to his own use.
He soon began to spend money freely, and
lived far beyond his salary, which caused
the firm to investigate matters. This re-
suited in his arrest.
He or his wife, or both, made frequent
trips to Boston, Providence and New York,
