HIS NERVE SAVED HIN.
James Nolan, Station Tender In the High
Ore, Makes Desperate Jump.

James Nolan, Station Tender in the High
Ore, Makes q Desperate Jump.
James Nolan, station tender in the
High Ore had q close call for his white
alley" yesterday morning. He was on the
cage with q load OF tagging for the 6 6)O-foot
level. Before the 4OO.foot was reached
the rope with which the load was secured,
in some unknown way was severed.
Nolan was fearful that he would
be badly injured and possibly killed
IL he continued to 60 down with
the tagging and made up his mind to leave
the cage ne soon as it reached the 4OO.foot.
When that station was reached he jumped
for his life without signaling to the engi-
nesr to stop, and the cage continued on
and down to the level to which
it was destined. The speed with
which the cage was descending was such as
to give it considerable momentum, and
when Nolan made the jump he struck the
hard floor with great force, bruising his hip
badly and in other ways injuring himself
severely. He was taken to the surface and
from thence removed to his room, where
he will be confined for some time.
Nolan is thankful that he escaped 80
easy, for he is sure by making the desperate
jump he saved his life.

Settled at Last.

After long and vexatious delay the loss
of the Bonner Mercantile company has
been adjusted. The sum allowed by the
appraisers is $63,O59.25. Immediately
after the fire an inventory was taken OF the
stock and an estimate OF damage made by
the clerks OF the several departments.
This estimate footed up about $S1 600.
Realizing that any delay would cause them
serious loss, as new goods were constantly
arriving from the east and some very costly
goods from Paris, the Bonner Mercantile
company offered to settle for $40 ,5OO, pro-
vided they were allowed at once to open
their store. Their offer was hatly refused.
THE finding of the appraisers has entirely
vindicated the Bonner Mercantile company
from making demand for any unreason.
able amount, and the blame for this long
delay rests with the insurance companies:
Mr.. Connell assures US that the store will
be open for business within few days.

Sir Henry Continues.

LONDON, Nov. 21.- The argument by Sir
Henry James was continued. Referring to
the Moonlighters in Ireland, he said they
acted more like burglars. Their actions
were not reproved by the leaders of the
league. 1t was not until January, 1886,
when the Parnellite members OF the house
were supporting the government that
the leaders of the league refused
to grant money to certain districts, owing
to the outrages committed therein.
Sir Henry referred to the murder OF
Policeman Brett, by Altman Gould and
Larkin near Manchester, in 1867, and said
the murderers had been held up az heroes
worthy of limitation. Davitt himself had
unveiled Che monument to their memory
and this was amble evidence that the ex-
ample OF these murderers has been Landed
as worthy OF being followed. ~.

THE AMERICAV CONGRESS.
Delegates From the United States of Brazil

Delegates From the United States of Brazil
Seated.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-Secretary Blaine
called the International American confer.
ence to order this afternoon and immedi-
ately surrendered the chair to DR.. Guzman,
the delegate from Nicaragua.
DR.. valenta, the Brazilian minister, arose
and said the Brazilian delegates had been
prevented from occupying seats at the pre-
ceeding sessions for reasons which must
have been apparent to the other delegates.
They were now, however, ready to lay be.
fore the president their credentials, that
they might be acted upon in due time: The
announcement was greeted with loud ap'
plause.
Delegate Henderson OF the United States
Immediately offered the following resolu-
tion. Resolved, That the congress well
come the United States OF Brazil into the
sisterhood OF American republics"
Some debate as to the propriety OF the
c. c.ngress taking such action followed and
the resolution vas finally tabled.
After the introduction OF the resolution
Delepate Hortado OF Colombia, moved that
the resolution be tabled as it was not
proper for the delegates to recognize q new
90 yernment in the absence OF instructions
from their own governments. This was
seconded by several delegates. Mr.. Hen
derson said be was sorry to place any
other delegates in an awkward position,
but as far as he was concerned
he should hail with equal pleas
ure the announcement that Spain or Eng
land or any other monarchy had adopted
republican institutions. II this great
change has been accomplished in Brazil
without bloodshed, and her representa-
tives are here, why wait for the announce
ment that the republic has been formally
recognized by the other governments? The
Chilian delegate agreed with Henderson's
ideas generally, but felt constrained to
postpone the matter, out of regard for tn the
official character OF some u the delegates.
| a enderson's resolution Was then tabled,
only Venzeula and Uruguay voting in the
negative. The consideration of the rules
was not completed at adjournment.
