LONGVIEw. Ten. Sept. 5.-Yesterday
a case of wholesale poisoning was report
ed to the officers It seems a crowd of
negro boys and bootbacks with some
women and girls sent for a bucket of beer
last night which was poisoned, the doe
tor says with a large quantity Of strych
nine. About fifteen drank, all thinking
il didn t taste right They were soon in
severe commissions, but some were able
to vOmit and were relieved. The victims,
all colored, are Mary Williams and Mary
Kelly who will die, Sarah McNay, Hick

kins and three bootblacks, names I'M
known, who are very sick but will reeov-
err Mile Hall, Dock Wil-
hams and two bOotblaCks who
were slightly affected give Il narrowing
description of the effect and symptoms
which are identical with strychnifte
poison.
Several arrests have been made but no
clue to the perpetrator has been found.
Hickory Mutt is the boy who went after
the beer, but from the amount he drank
and his dangerous illness it seems he was
not into the plot. The perpetrator, it is
thought, is spotted by the officers, and if
the negro witnesses will only give neces-
sary evidence, which it is thought they
can, 8 swift conviction viii follow.

WHY SHOULDTANNER COP

THE GAzETTE's Washington special
contained this interesting piece of infor-
nation:
It is believed that the administration has de-
eided on the dismissal of Corp. Tanner, whose
reckless way of managing the pension depart
ment has scandalized the country. President
Harris on is heartily sick of Tanner and Secre-
tary Noble is even more so. It is reliably stated
that Secretary Noble has been for weeks urging
Tanners removal. Those who are acquainted
with the redoubtable corporal say he will not
take a hint. however strong, that his resignation
would be acceptable, and that it will be necessa-
" to issue a formal order of dismissal before he
could be gotten out.
Why should Tanner 90? Why should
the corporal be made vicariOus sacrifice
for the party of which he is d browning
exemplifcation and emphasis? The De-
mocracy needs Tanner in its business,
and, in behalf of Democracy and good
government under Democracy here
after, THE GAZETTE pleads for Tanner 5
retention. Tanner is the outgrowth of Re-
pubIicanism, and he should stay that the
country may see what Republicanism is,
unrelieved by the cant and hypocrisy of
shrewder and more dishonest men of the
party.
When Grover Cleveland sought 10
make the pension list a roll of honor all
the 'trooly Ioil newspapers and orators
howIed in concert and fired the Northern
heart with denunciation of Democracy
treatment of the old soldiers-and the
Tanner idea of pensions prevailed and
Tanner was installed. Tanner stands,
par excellence, for RepubIicanism-Iet
him stand, that the country may see
what Republicanism is in practice. The
Tanner idea is that the masses should pay
taxes to the accumulation of a cash sur
plus which should be divided out among
a select few who viii restore the money
to circulation and thus make everybody
prosperous, especially the few. This is
the Republican idea; Tanner stands for
Republicanism, and Republicanism in
evltably produces Tanners in office. 1t
was so in the beginning, it Is so now
and 1t will be so unto the end of Re-
publicanism-from Belknap to Tanner,
from the Credit Mobiher and whisky
ring to q dependent pension list, Re-
pubIicanism presents an unbroken record
as the party of taxation paid by the
many for the benefit of the few.
Why should Tanner go?

Sixteen Men Caught In "a NuIl. ~,
California.

SAN ANDREAs, Cal, Decembcr "A
disastrous cave-in occurred Sunday even
ing in the Lane mine, owned by Howard
& Hobart, located on the west edge of
the Angeles, by which sixteen men were
buried. They were supposed to be dead.
Nineteen men were sent into the drift on
a 400 foot level to repair the timbering
which had become loosened. They had
not worked over an hour when the sup
ports of the upper timbers suddenly sew
cred to the right and the roofing earth
and rocks fell burying sixteen men under
meath the debris. Thos. 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 when he went into the drift, but
no one suspected there was danger of a
cave-in When it came they were all I'M
prepared. He and the Italians escaped
as soon as they heard the timbers crack
the Others also started to run but were
too far in the drift to be able to reach a
place of safety. Immediately after the
accident the men were let down he shaft
and entering the mouth of the drift COM
menced digging the debris. They found
the attempt almost useless, as the tim
bers seemed to have been woven together
as though the sides of the drift had fallen
toward each other and had been covered
by the roofing. BY last evening the res
cuing party had succeeded in getting
eight feet into the pile of earth and tim.
Der, and none of the victims had beer
reached. There is no prospect Of getting
the men out alive.
There is no hope of rescuring the six,
teen miners who were buried by the cave
in in the Utica mine at Angeles on Sunday
Working parties have found two dead
bodies but will not be able to reach them
until tomorrow, and it is feared they
will not be able to reach some of the Other
tins for several weeks. 1t is believed
that all of the sixteen men were crushed
to death by the falling rock.
