Dreadful Disaster in Califor.

The Unsafe shaft Permitted to Go I'm
strengthened Until the Catastrophe
Makes 1t Too Late-Meagre Details OF
the Horror-Dead Men Cast Ashore.
SAN Francisco, Dec. PA dispatch re-
caived yesterday from San Andreas, Gala
veras county, gives brief particulars of ter
rible mining accident which took place al
Angels camp Sunday. There is no telegraph
line 10 the scene of the disaster, aud full de-
tails will not probably be at hand before to-
day. For some time past fears have been
entertained that the vertical shaft of the
Lane gold quartz mine had been seriously
weakened 10y the recent heavy rains. On
several occasions within month falls of
earth have taken place, and the owners OF
the mine, Alvinza Hayward and W. s. Ho-
bart, both millionaires of this city, had been
warned that an accident might be looked for
1t does not appear that any precautionary
measures were taken, however, and the men
had begun to get accustomed to the evident
peril of their work.
The Apprehended Happens.
Sunday afternoon George Williams, fore
man, and a gang of sixteen men were en-
gagged on the 300-foot level when suddenly
the whole shaft gave way at the top. Many
tons of earth went crashing down, complete
ly closing up the shaft and putting it beyond
the reach of possibility that any of the seven
teen men can be alive Angels camp is en-
tirely made up of miners and their families,
and in few minutes after the terrible land
slide took place number of men were al
work in an effort to TO reach the imprisoned
victims. When the messenger left Angels
for San Andreas the rescuers had made but
little progress, and all hope of saving any of
the seventeen men had been abandoned.
Nearly all of them left families.

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. "a -Pardon Clerk Nell
son, of the govtrnor's Office was the subject
OF severe criticism by the executive yester-
day for blunder that the latter thinks will
make him rid culous to similar officials
throughout the Union. Some days ago the
governor had a number of Autographs Of
himself made &c accommodate persons who
want his picture. When the litho
graphs were brought into the office they were
placed on Nelson's desk Not knowing the
governors purI ose in having so many of his
pictures on han1, and thinking it would be
good thing IL distribute them over the
country, Nelson mailed one to each of the
governors of he different states Below
each Autograph is fac-simile of the gov
ernor's autogra lh.
When Hovey inquired for the Autographs
yesterday and found what Nelson had done
he lost his temper and spoke of the folly of
such an act in language that Nelson could
not fail to un ierstand. Nelson suggested
that he write t. the several executives, say.
ing that a mistt Ike had occurred in sending
the Autographs but the governor vetoed the
proposition, say ing that he did not propose
