TIE NEW SHELTER.


We were permitted to look at the plans
for the new smelter yesterday, and
while we are not ut liberty to make
public detail description, we can say
that the building will be PA feet long,
and -four stories high. Ofthe machine
ry, there will be I6 K AZ Corliss engine
-240-horse-power-a No. 8 Gates crusher
with capacity of forty tons per hour.
two blast furnaces 100 tons capacity
each, two reverberatory furnaces of
twenty tons capacity each, two No. 8
Root blowers, and a whole lot of other
machinery which will be described
later on. Everything will work auto-
matically, and there will be no hand
ling or shoveling Of ores from the time
they are dumped from the cars into the
top of building. The machinery is all
paid for, Ind most oft is ready to ship.
THIS grading OF the site Is practically
chpleted. and 1t is expected that the
plant can DO ready to blow in during
the month Of May. So FAR as the public
Is aware there are only five stock holders
--Joseph and w. II. Swift, Mr.. Penny
packer, DR.. Carpenter and the late Mr..
Miller. This was one of Mr.. Miiler's
most cherished industries for the bene-
1T Of the city, and one to which he had
devoted q great deal Of time and energy.
While his death will not reiarL, progress
yet his loss win be felt. Pioneer.

An Assembly Committees Report
on the City Ambulance.
The special committee on ambulances
met yesterday afternoon, and. with City
Physician Ancker, discussed the matter
of placing i'll service an ambulance.
DR.. Ancker explained that the absence
of properly equipped ambulance re-
flected discredit upon the city, and he
could think of nothing more urgently
required. At present the city spends
about $500 a year for transporting pa
tients in hacks. He pointed out the
danger of a person suffering IRON
diphtberia being conveyed in hack
which, a few hours after, might be
used to carry a pleasure party
to the theater. As to the cost
of an ambulance service Dr.. Ancker
stated that a perfectly appointed vehicle
with horse and patent harness could
be procured for about $500. Every facll-
ity existed at the city hospital for its
care, and a surgeon would always be on
dutv to travel with the ambulance and
render first aid to the sick and wounded.
The cost of maintenance would be
small. a driver could be hired for $50
Der month, who would live at the hos
pital, and the other cost would be for
feed for the horse. The city would
save the $500 a year now spent for
hacks. and a revenue would also arise
from the offer of the railroad companies
and the city railroad to pay 81 each time
the ambulance should be used by theiI
respective companies.
Messrs. McCafferty and Minea ex'
| pressed themselves as being in favor Oi
the proposed service. and the commit
tee will report to the council that al
| ambulance is necessary in their opinion
but that the question Of voting money
| at the present time must, however. bt
| decided by the council.

FUN IN BATTLE.
A Confederate Survivor Who Led
a Federal Charge.


Mai. J. W. McCIung, of San Francis
co, tells a Globe-DemoeFat correspond
ent: think l am the only survivor of
the Confederacy who led a federal
charge. This singular thing L did,
and here's how it was: 1t was at
the battle of Selma. l was carrying
orders, and had to pass straight through
the town. 1t was terribly hot, and had
nv coat off. We had captured wagon
train a few DAYS before, ana out of the
spoils had appropriated a brand new
Federal cavalry hat, 50 L Gid not look
unlike a Yankee officer.
In the main street of Selma | met an
aids named Brown-a gallant fellow. He
shouted to me that our line had been
broken and that Armstrong was falling
back. and told me to get out or I'd be
taken. Just then Armstrong and his
staff galloped past, and the general, rec
OgniZng us, called out: "4ou must
hurry out of this. gentlemen. They are
close on our heels"
Brown had a dispatch for Col. john
son, and he said he would wait and de-
liver it if he died for il. While we were
talking, pistols in hand. a column of
federal cavalry swung into the street
where we stood, coming full tilt. We
were 81 IdhGii ny ouI piioO OLloO w NOuAN
not get away. Brown had on a new
uniform that had just run the blockade,
and he was a good target. Half dozen
troopers dashed out from the line to
| catch him.
We were riding for our lives. Brown
a little in the lead, so that it looked as
though | was chasing him. The pur-
| surers passed me and overhauled
Brown, and | caught a glimpse of him
| as ! passed, down on his back working
a revolver, with a group of the enemy
about him, all shooting down at him
| and cutting at him with their sabreS.
| By this time was at the head OF the
column, which had not slackened its
mad pace. For at least mile [ rode at
their head. exchanging remarks about
the retreat of the "Rebs" and joining in
the cries of "Hurry; let's catch Arm
| strong" As we came to side street
| that ran down to the river l dashed out
and swerved sharply. and then l rode
for dear life. In a second they were
! after me, and the bullets sang all around
| ME.
Inever halted. but plunged off low
| pier into the water and swan straight
i across to where our speople were trying
i to form a new front. The water was
torn by perfect rain of bullets, but
4 was not scratched, and my horse was
/ only slightly wounded. l would like
I much to know the name Of my federal
| commander.

over Montana, both Dakotas and Mani

This, is the place where the

IDENTIFY manifested over North Dakota
and Manitoba and Northern Mime
sofa, where the greatest falls in tenn
perature have been experienced. The
center of the wave is in the vicinity of
Manitoba, with the temperature at As
deg at the hour mentioned above. 1t
will probably fall from 4S deg to So deg
over the northern portion of
North Dakota and Minnesota, Satur-
day morning, and that Will cause
frosts in most places over that district,
but they Will not be severe enough to
seriously injure crops. rhe winds are
generally from northeast, and are rather
dry, with a cloudless to partly cloudy
sky, conditions favorable to light frosts
even with the temperature eight to ten
OF more degrees above freezing point
(32 deg. The danger to the Northwest
