IERRIRI & ACCIDENT

TOPEKA, Kan, Dec. PA terrible acct
dent occurred on the Oakland division of
the electric car line, by which John Cas-
tello, switchman in the employ of the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe road, sus-
tanned injuries which, if they do not result
fatally, will leave him a paralytic for the
rest of his life. CASTILLO was out riding
during the afternoon with friend and in
the evening they went to Oakland Grove.
On their return they began racing with
au electric car. Those who saw
them say that both were intoxicated.
AT the sharp curve at the corner of Iowa
and Forest avenues, the car was slowed up
AS it always does, and theidriveI undertook
to make the same curve on the inside with
the buggy The space was very narrow.
and the buggy swerved, striking, it is said,
a telegraph pole and overturning. The
two occupants were thrown on the track,
directly in front of the car. The motorner
at once reversed the current, which
was very light, and another en-
ploye helped him SO that the car
was stopped very quickly. But it was
too late. Costello's companion held
to the lines and was dragged off by the
horses. He, himself, lay on the track and
YVES struck by the iron fender. some say
dragged by it under the car. He was
picked up insensible and carried on the
car to the city, where he was left at the
Santa Fe hospital on Fourth street. An
examination by the compauy's surgeon
showed that two of the spinal yertibrae
a broken back. Costello may linger for
days or may die at any moment. Should
he live at all it would be to live a paralytic
to the end of his DAYS

PRINTERS WANT A RAISE.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Dec. 24.-Edw]ard I.
Plank, president of the International
Typographical union, arrived in this city
from indianapolis today to confer with the
officers of Typographical union No. rela-
tive to the demand Of the printers on live
morning newspapers tor an advance from
40 to As cents per thousand IN
price for type setting. He saw some of
the local officers, who explained the stu
alton to him. The demand the prin-
tiers made was to have gone into
effect last night, but the refusal
employers to grant it served to compllcate
matters. Most of the men are not salts
fed with 40 cents per thousand and they
are not inclined to accept the employers
action as final at present. President
Glazer, of the local union, said this after
noon mo trouble would be experienced in
any of the newspaper composing rooms
tonight. A meeting will probably be held
in few days at which the situation
would be considered"

SIXTEEN ALL DOOMED.
The Buried Miners in California Beyond
Hopes of Rescue.

SAN ANDREAs, Cal, Dec. PA dis
asterous cave-in occurred Sunday evening
in the Lane mine owned by Howard &
Hobart. located on the west edge of the
Angels, by which sixteen men were buried
Nineteen men was sent into the drift on
on the 400 foot level to repair the timber
ing which had become loosened. They had
not worked over an hour when the sup
ports of the upper timbers suddenly
swerved to the right and the roofing, earth
and rocks fell, burying sixteen men under
the debris. Thomas COrwin and two
Italians were working near the mouth Of
the drift and managed to escape, although
Corwin was badly injured. Immediately
after the accident men were lowered down
the shaft and entering the mouth of the
drift commenced digging into the debris.
By last evening the rescuing party had
succeeded in getting eight, feet into the
pit of earth and timber and none OF the
victims had been reached. There is no
prospect of getting the men out alive.
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 rescue some of the other
victims for several weeks. 1t is believed
that all sixteen men were crushed to death
by falling rock. Three of the victims,
Thomas Knusky, George Williams and j.
Brady. leave a wife and children EACH
The names of the others are: Knick
Enoch, Zegale Peter Pernio, c. Bertro,

John Martin. Mitchell Brodwick, James
Carey and William Vincett.
Information reached here this afternoon
that the surface of the mine at Angle camp
in which the disaster occurred Sunday has
cayed down to a depth of forty feet and
the cave extends along the vein from the
north shaft to the south shaft at width
of thirty feet. This makes it necessary to
stop all work of recovering the bodies.
There is little doubt that the hoists have
been drawn into the cave.

is very light and lasts but few days sell

however, all persons who have been

depression of spirits. In fact the after eff

complaint itself
The Cause OF the epidemic has not been

ascribed it to the abnormally warm
weather of the past month, but that
would not account for its appearance
in Siberia where il has burst
