The city's electric plant in East
Wheeling is being pushed, with Wow
to completion before cold weather sets

order as near January first as thcy can.
The walls Of the machinery room are
allup and now awaiting the iron beams,
on which there will be placed an iron
roof. For tho past few days the masons
have been busily engaged on the brick
foundations for the heavy shaiting and
dynamos. Alloi these are built separate,
with Il few feet OF space intervening to
prevent vibration. Tho foundations

brick, with cement tops flush with the
floor, while tho engine foundations are
built OF massive stones, making them
perfectly solid, SO that no amount OF

to accept their friendly offices, and said
that he would buy his own

taken TO the city building, where he was
made as comfortable as possible in the

general opinion that the effect OF the
liquor he had been drinking had more
to do with this than the injuries he re-

used up about the head and his face
disiigured in several places.

ALMOST FELL TO HIS DEATH.


Carpenter falls. Off tho Elevator mt
Schmulbnch's Brewery and escapes with
II few Bruises.
Tho building operations at the new
brewery OF the Schmulbach company
were conducted up to yesterday without
any accidents. Considering the peril
Gus nature Of many OF the operations
connected with building OF such
magnitude, the contractors :el! pleased
at their phenomenal good fortune.
The first accident on the work hap
pened yesterday afternoon. The signal
to knock off work had Just been blown
on the whistle, and the men from the
different parts OF tho building fastened
to the ground floor. Gus Brun, ca
pentcr, had been working on the fourth
floor, and gathering up his tools, started
down on the elevator, which is used to
hoist materials to the different floors OF
the building. Just as the hoist reached
tho third floor, another workman put q
couple OF buckets of mortar on the plat
form and gave the signal to the engin-
Ger to draw it up. At that moment
somebody signaled' from another floor,
and Brun, becoming impatient and con-
Guiding to walk down, stepped off the
elevator, at the moment it was going
up. 1t was half way between the third
and fourth floors in less than no time,
and Brun, falling forward, was caught
between a heavy brace and the elevator
platform. The brace, although spiked
on, was torn off, and the man fell to the
third floor. Expecting to find him
dead the men rushed to the spot. To
the surprise OF all Brun was able to
walk, and though badly bruised, his
recovery is only matter Of time.

The Main Street bridge commission
had its meeting yesterday evening pur-

and took up the subject of the request
OF Paige, Cary 4 Co., tho contractors,
for an extension OF the time OF the fin

OF the commission were present except
Mr.. Ellingham. who is not in the city.
Mr.. Riley's opinion as to the legal
status Of the matter was stated, and the
members discussed the situation at
some length. 1t was finally decided to
extend the time at which the bridge
must be completed to the first day OF
February next. Rather, it was decided
to recommend to Council that the time
be extended to that date. The request
Of the engineers for certain allowances
was also iavorably considered.

CHAINED TO CORPSE.
An Americans Awful Experience In .
Siberian Mine.

The Boston Herald publishes the
story of Captain Morris, relating
his experience as a prisoner for
three years in a Siberian coal mine.
Captain Morris says he was cap.
tain of the schooner Helena"
which sailed from Yokohama
April II, 1883, on a cruise for
walrus. They captured a walrus
IN Russian territory, and the
schooner was captured by a Rms
sian gunboat. The schooner and
crew were taken to Vladivostock,
where they were tried and convic-
ted of violating the seal and fish,
ing laws and condemned to impris.
onment in the coal mine for three
years. They were obliged to send
up ten tons Of coal per day for the
first year and six tons per day for
the other years. If the stated
amount Of coal did not come up,
no rations would be given them.
Captain Morris was fastened to a
Pole, the chain being eight feet
long. After being fastened the
Captain saw no one but the Pole
until liberated, not being allowed
to leave the mine during the entire
three years, sleeping on the floor of
the mine and subsisting on rice
soup. At the end of three months
his companion died, but no one
came to release him from the body.
At tho end of fifteen days, the Cap
tain cut the Police body in two with
shovel and got it on load of
coal. When Morris came out he
he found that F. G. Croker, of
Searsport, Maine, one of his crew,
had just been released: Together
they walked $50 miles to Vladivos-
took, the Russians refusing them
transportation. They were coal
begrimed, ragged and sore from
bites of vermin. An American YES
sci took chem to Nagasaki, where
the United States Consul provided
them with clothing and they took
their first hot bath in three years.
The Consul furnished them with
transportation to Yokohama, from
whence they went to San Francisco
Morris finally reaching Boston, his
native place, last November.

has been chosen for the position in

ed two months ago. The two men
will present their credentials to the
United States Senate and the COM
mittee on the elections will report
in favor of Mr.. Dubois, the man who
was elected first, and therefore the
only one elected, just as in the case
of the Florida contest when that
state was reconstructed. But it
will be almost year yet before the
credentials can be submitted, and
during that time the adherents of
Senator Dubois and of Mr. Clag-
gett will be engaged in political
civil war.
