New Years Day. This departure from the
etiquette Of official society has raised verita-
bio hornets nest among the wives Of the Cabi-

the Presidents wife would appear at the New

dents wife would take Mrs. Harrison's place In
the line, and take precedence Of course over

over an hour when the supports Of the upper
timbers suddenly swerved to the right. and the
roofing. earth. and rocks fell, burying sixteen
men underneath the dibris. Thomas Corwin
and two Italians were working near the mouth
OF the drift, and managed to escape. although
Corwin was badly injured. Corwin said the
partitions were leaning badly whom he went
into the drift, but no one suspeoted there was
danger Of cave.
and the Italians escaped as soon as they heard
the tmbers crack. The others also started to
run. but were too fer in the drift to be able to
