A Strange Accident.

A peculiar accident occurred on the
Third street line of the Holmes syndi-
cate id Davenport yesterday afternoon.
As a car drew near the Rock Island
road viaduct over Third street. Henry M.
Hennings and j. W. Wiltel were the only
passengers. There WAS a locomotive
switching cars above them. and the horses
became frightened at the noise the thing
was making. turned first to one side and
then to the other. aud finally, with a
frantic lunge the driver could not con-
troll, sprang clear off the track on one
side. and the side wrench they gave the
car turned it over on its side. Mr.. Wir-
tel came out of the ranble with noth-
ing worse than q shaking up. but Mr.
Hennings was somewhat cut about the
head; presumably BY the glass in the
windows, which was &c nerally reduced to
fragments. He was somewhat bumped
and bruised. but his I'M uries are not SC
serious as TO cause alarm. People who
rail at the danger of tie overhead wire
ere hereby reminded that even the sedate
and steady going street car horse is moi
without his occasional lareups.

The linton of this morning makes the
following announcement:
According TO an associated press dis
patch. President Harrison on Friday nom.
mated Mr.. Walter Johnson to be the first
collector of customs of the newly estab-
lished port of delivery st Rock Island
The appointment Is due to the regard of
Congressman Gest. who made the recon,
mendstiun without the request or indeed
the knowledge of the appointee. and is
held In all the higher esteem on this &C.
count.
The attempt at modesty in the closing
part Of the above is as ridiculous as 1t
is false. 1t has been q matter OF current
report for some time that the editor of the
Union was strsinlng every effort to secure
this paltry Office. strange sc j, may seem.
and it was his anxiety TO get it thai Cam
didate Gest took advanis:- o. before the
last month of the campaign and promised
it to him on condition that the Union
would from that on contain all the per
sonal abuse Of 9eE T. Ostie. his family and
his friends that could b, crowded into its
columns. The editor of the Union CON-
piled with his part of this agreement 10
the letter. and now he has got his pay in
political appointment, attached to
which there is not enough ssiary to pay
for the pencils which were rotted In car,
rying from his brain to the paper the miss
cradle, scurrilous abuse with which his
paper reeked.
The editor Of the Union Is like the man
who sold his honor for mess of pottage.

the river all day today. On her return to
this side from her first trip at $50 this

has been stuck there since. Passengers

coal has been carried to the disabled
steamer in the same way.
1t was still dark when the ferry stuck
and Capt. Cameron says it is due to the
remarkable drop in the water. which
declined two feet Thursday night and six
inches last night. The boat only draws
two feet and q half which shows how
shallow the river has become. Capt.
Cameron anticipates q rise tonight which
will release the boat II he don't get her

a Protest.

A Protest.
Mr.. EDITOR: In Fridays issue OF
the Bulletin was an article headed
" On Postal Matters" etc, but
which was simply a gross libel on
the Postmaster General. | think
that the editor of that presumably
respectable paper should either
have consigned it to the waste box
or required the writer to put his
name to it.
From the spiteful tenor of the
article, any one could tell that the
writer is chewing the cud OF
jealousy, and its NORWOOD taste,
which not only makes him splene-
tic, but absolutely vicious.
The Postmaster-General is too
well known and esteemed by the
respectable portion of the commu-
nifty, not only for his business quail
ifications, but for his many good
traits of character, to be hurt by
such aspersions from any such
scribbling assassin. CIToYEN.

COLORADO'S GREAT BONANZA.

DENVER, october l|.-Ihe big
gest mine strike ever made in Colo
RADIO has Just been made in the
Sheridan property, located near
Telluride, in San Miguel county.
The strike concludes an enterprise
that was commenced nearly three
years ago. At the time it was con-
sidered by far the costliest individ-
ual mine enterprise ever attempted
in Colorado. 1t was the running
of tunnel for a distance of $500
feet into the Sheridan Mountain for
the purpose of prosecuting the
famous Smuggler vein at a depth of
LOO feet below the surface. The
vein was known to exist in that
place in the 70O-foot workings. The
problematic feature was it's exist
ence 200 feet deeper.
Night and day since November
l, 1887, the work in the tunnel has
been prosecuted at q cost of
hundreds of thousands of dol
lars. Three weeks ago the tun-
mel was in 5000 feet, and every shot
since that time was expected to dis
close the vein. The Wednesday
night shift found it. 1t was in the
expected place, and the ore body
was ascertained to be larger and
far richer than that found 1000
feet above. Millions of dollars were
added to the value of the property,
and the permanency of the supposed
assure veins of the San Miguel
district is established.
Manager Waters of the property
says that 5000 miners could not
take out the ore between the sur
face workings and the end of the
tunnel in fifteen years work.
The Sheridan vein was first
located on in 1876. Ten years later
a syndicate of English capitalists
doing business at Hongkong, China,
purchased the Sheridan Mine for
100000. Two years later they
purchased the Smuggler and Men
dota, two adjoining properties, for
100000. Subsequently they com
menced the tunnel project. The
mines above are paying expenses
and regular dividends.
The company now owns one mile
of surface ground through the en-.
tire distance of which the vein can
be traced. The property has the
distinction of being at IL greater
altitude than any other mine in
Colorado, the highest point on the
Mendoza claim being $4,000 feet
above sea level and the lowest
point on the Smuggler reaching
1850 feet.
The mines are in a region of per.
petual snow, and the ore-shipping
season rarely exceeds ten weeks
The ore runs from 5000 to $4,000
to the ton, and the output for year:
past has ranged from 100000 tc
100000 per annum. By operating
the mine through the tunnel, there
will be no limit to the output
Manager Waters says that calcu,
lating on basis of what the mine
has done in the past, this strike
puts SIS, 100000 in sight. The ore
struck by the tunnel carries brittle
silver and copper and runs high il
| cold.
