SPOKANE FALLS, Sept. THE men who
were engaged in the work of rescuing the
unfortunate victims OF last evenings
awful explosion, were compelled TO quit
at IL o'clock last night because of the
near presence to five other blasts that
might be accidentally exploded. Up TO
that time ten bodies had been taken out
of the mass of rock, and there were "a
men yet unaccounted for.
1t is believed now the premature blast
was caused by someone's carelessness.
II is the custom to prepare the blasts and
charge them, and at the hours of Il and 8,
after the men have left work and gone TO
places of safety to shoot them. In this
case one blast had been prepared and
Foreman Mcpherson was preparing the
second. Either the rock was too hot from
sthe drills or else the tamping exploded IL.
Ii is thought that the explosion also set
of the first blast.
The man who was drilling was blown TO
atoms as well as Mcpherson and some
others. The man who stood beside the
tamper escaped with a light bruise,
although 10000 cubic feet of rock were
hurled hundreds Of feet in every direction.
Another man who was near the deadly
blast and who was supposed to be dead
was seen shortly after the explosion in a
balf-crazed condition, walking around
with his clothing torn 10 shreds.
The blasts are SO arranged thatthe rock
is thrown from the hill toward a cut. Not
anticipating the blast, about thirty men
were under the cliff when the explosion
came. Great masses of rock and earth
were raised in the air and pitched over
into the cut, burying the men beneath il,
awful weight.
None of them had time 10 run, but a few
escaped in a miraculous manner. A hun
dred men were at work in the adjoining
cuts and at once rushed TO the scene ant
began the work OF rescue.
From the huge mass of debris groani
and shrieks issued and the air was illleo
with the appeals Of the wounded ant
dying. In half an hour, however, all wa
still except the noise made by the work

THIEVING SEALERS.
n Plan to Rob Uncle Sam, and Ii is
Very Likely to Prove Efectual.

n Plan to ROb Uncle sam, and Ii is
Very Likely to Prove Effectual.
VICTORIA, B. c., June when
the fleet of seal schoOners sailed from
here several weeks ago, some officers
declared positively that they would
make better catches than last year,
and that United States revenue cut
tiers would not tow any of them into
Port Townsend, as was done last year,
and sell their skins for the benefit OF
Uncle Sam. At the time this state
ment was sent out from here, it
was ridiculed as mere bravado,
though it was noticed that the schoon-
ers carried an unusual supply of pre-
visions and arms. There we're some
stories that Indian crews, most of
whom are shipped at Sltka, and who
receive percentage of the catch, had
determin led to resist seizures this
year, but this, too, was regarded as
mere talk.
To-day the secret is out, and the
confidence of the seal poachers is ex-
planned, All captains before they
left here agreed upon plan which is
inexpensive and at the same time
very ingenious. This is to establish
a rendezvous for the entire sealing
fleet at Standpoint, on the AIeutian
Archipelago. There keepers will be
maintained, and when a schooner has
made modest catch of from 800 to
800 skins she will put into Standpoint
and discharge her cargo. The skins
will be concealed, so that if the reve-
nue. officers should raid the place they
will find nothing.
Cruising around Standpoint will be
fast steamer chartered for the sea-
son. When the keeper at the Point
has secured enough skins to make
up a good cargo, the steamer will
leave for Victoria, returning to take
the remainder of the catch. There
will be no danger OF this steamer
being overhauled, as she is able 10
walk away from either the Bear or
Rush, neither of which Is noted for
its speed.
Experts here say the plan is entire
feasible, and that if the schooner
captains show ordinary skill they
ought to make catch that will be
half as large as that allowed by the
Government at Pribylos, without los
ing a single vessel or single skin.
From what can be learned here it
is evident that this this plan is al
ready in operation, as the date fixed
for commencing work was the 1st Of
June. The Bear is already we'll up
toward Behring's Sea, il she is not
already in cruising ground, but the
Rush can't interfere with business
for some time.

years, elVen and One-half OF which he
has been chief of the department.
Mr.. Duerler likes the life of a fire,
man and feels proud over our deparl
ment. a LIGHT reporter found him
! in his office this morning.
He felt glad the appropriation had
| passed. 81 suppose that 1t will be IN
augurated this year yet. We ought
to start out with at least fifty boxes"
When asked what system would
likely be adopted by the city, he re-
piled, II can not say, but l advocate
the adoption of the Gamewell sys-
tenn" This system, the reporter
was told, had been adopted by Waco,
Dallas and Galveston, Austin had
adopted the Union system, but she
has given it up. The system advoca-
ted by our ..chief is worked on this
plan: The city is divided up into
districts. When a fire breaks out In
the twenty-second district, an officer
or fireman whoever is provided with
keys, pull the lever within the box.
They ring two times and after a short
interval once. This gives two and one,
or 81. Instanteously every box in the
streets sounds the alarm and the fig
ures show up 81. The firemen know
whereabouts this district is and 60 to
the place without delay. In the en-
CINE house we have the same thing,
only that the gong and fire bells are
also sounded by the alarm. This is
in brief the workings of the Gamewell
system, which has been adopted in
all the large cities of the country.
Speaking of our fire department, its
value, efficiency and equipment, Mr..
Duerler said, THE San Antonio fire
department is better equipped than
any other department in the state,
and can say that without the least
fiattery. Our steamers are not too
heavy for our streets, with our present
teams of horses. which, by the way,
are the best fire horses in the state"
Some people have an idea that the.
difference in the color of the uniforms
are a hindrance while at the fires.
But this is not the case, as our volun-
teer firemen do not polish and dress
up in their gay uniforms when the
gongs strike,
NOTES.
Our volunteer firemen number 1913
men.
Some of the fremen say it may be
| long time before we get the electric
alarm.
1t costs about $4,000 year to run
our fire department,
There are twelve paid men in our
fire department. There were % fires
and forty alarms during the past
year. There are 10 good strong horses
employed in our fire department.
Thos. Abbot thinks that it is
great thing to be fireman. He says
that he doubts if there is a greater
and more fraternal feeling among
the members of lodges, than exists
between the firemen
The San Antonio fireman does not
receive an enviable salary. 1t amounts
to about this: He pays regular
monthly dues, fine for absence at
a fire, and regular amount for ruined
clothes and not seldom, a setting up
of the drinks. In lieu of this he is
exempt from jury duties, and has a
jolly time-when the other fellow sets
them up.

WrOngfuIIy Accused, but Cleared
by the Court.
New YORK, June l2.-In the case
of Rev. Jordan Christmas, pastor of
the Colored Methodist Church in
Communipaw avenue, Jersey City
Heights, who on Tuesday pleaded
non vult to an Indictment accusing
him of embezzling $1,000 which he
had collected to help to build new
church, sentence was suspended
yesterday by Judge Lippincott.
When he was first arrested Mr..
Christmas pleaded not guilty to the
indictment against him. When his
case was called for trial two lawyers
appeared for him, and they couldn't
agree as to how the case should be
conducted. While they were wrang-
ling Mr.. Christmas settled the matter
by changing his plea Of not guilty to
one of non vult. He was arraigned
for sentence yesterday morning be-
fore Judges Lippincott and Hoffman.
Judge Lippincott said to him.
Mr.. Christmas the Court has care
sented by the members ofyour church,
anu udS lOuuu tl6 dCCOuulS very IuuCu
mixed. 1t would appear, though,
that instead of your being a debtor
to the church the church owes you
money. This is on the face OF the
statement presented by the church
members. You were in the habit
with the consent of the church men,
bers, of collecting moneys and ex-
pending them as you saw fit. In the
account there is a disputed item of
about 500 for board, which the church
members think was wrongfully paid
out. Eut even if this were so it would
not make you a criminal. Taking
all these mixed items into considera-
ton, the Court deems it extremely
doubtful whether any jury would have
convicted you, and has therefore de
cided to suspend sentence"
Pastor Christmas thanked the Court
with tears in his eyes. He assured
the Judge that he was entirely limo
cent of the charge against him. While
he might have made some mistakes
in figuring, he had not retained a
dollar of the church money.
