A VERY NARROW ESCAPE.
John Kredeweis Digs a Hole That Nearly
Becomes His Grave.

Yesterday afternoon a number of small
boys were engaged in playing on a pile of
refuse slack ut the Keeling coal tipple, on
the hillside above Twelfth street. They
were digging into the pile and making caves.
John Kredeweis, aged Is, had made hole in
about ten feet, when, without warning, it
collapsed, burying him completely.
Aid was summoned and after a halt-hour's
hard digging the boy was reached. He was
unconscious, but soon revived with fresh
air. He had very narrow escape. The only
thing that saved him was that the portion
of the cave where his head and shoulders
were did not fall, although he was nea rly
asphyxiated when rescued.

Shovel threatening to strike him. In the

tongue by calling him all the bad names she
could. She was locked up in the Fourteenth

Partial Hearing.

Partial Hearing.
Charles Cuppert, who was arrested few
days ago on a charge of having shot Joseph
Sau while he was driving along Browns
vile avenue, was given q partial hearing
last evening. The farther into hearing
the case went the more mysterious the

shot, notwithstanding that he had three
witnesses last evening who testified to his
being at his home when the shooting took
place. Nau said he could not get all OF his
witnesses at the hearing, and the case was
continued.

Particularly is this the case in instances
where the constitution is delicate, and
among our immigrant population seeking

The best preparative for change Of eli

Some Long-Range Guns.


Brooklyn Eagle.
A man who makes the claim,
boldly and badly, that his ancestor
was one of the passengers in Noah's
ark entered the car at Cumberland
street on Thursday morning. He
round vacant seat beside a smoke
begrimmed clay pipe, with q red
whiskered man supporting 1t, pulled
out pamphlet bearing on its cover a
'sheartnnipg representation of New
Yorksar d Brooklyn blazing and burst
ing under the shells of q zoe located
somewhere down near Norton's Point,
and became to make very audible
comments on the excellence and &C.
curacy of the picture. He went so far,
in fact, as to assert that every
country in the world was SO well
equipped with naval guns that the
great metropolitan center of the
United States was practically de-
fenseless. He made no secret Of the
fact that he got his information from
a source that supplies the inhabitants
of menageries with startling news
concerning their individual move.
ments, and elaborated the theory
that a Peruvian gunboat, with two
horse-pistols aboard, could knock the
palatial public and private buildings
of the sister cities into smithereens.
The friend and supporter of the clay
pipe grew weary and remarked:
"Divil bit ov it"
"My friend" observed the man
with the pamphlet, 'you evidently
take me for an alarmist. But l am
not. 1 don't believe that you've ever
seen any of these guns that / refer to.
Why, sir"
"Aisy, now" said the passenger
behind the pipe, "I've seen more
guns in the days than We ever looked
at. How far, now, might that big
gest wan We was referrin' to short
time ago shoot?"
'ShOot sir? Twelve miles, sir. Yes,
sir, easily twelve miles, sir. And
'twould knock the new post office in
to ruins before we knew what we
were about"
Twelve milesl" remarked the sup
porter of the pipe In tone so scorn-
full that the mustache on q cigarette
smoker on the other side of the car
involuntarily curld: twelve miles!
An We call that a gum"
Nothing like it, sir. Ship, sir,
way out in the bay, can lombard the
sugar refineries in the eastern district
and clean out Long Isla4d City.

passenger. "Did We ever see gun,
