Thrown Down Shaft in Cage--The

Seventeen miners were killed in cage in

night, the time to shift the gangs of men, had
come, and a cage full of miners, returning
from work, stepped out into the open air
Their places were at once taken by nineteen
men, who were to take up the work they had
just abandoned, and the cage was started to-
ward the depths below. The rope had been
unwound but couple of times from the
slowly-revolving windlsss, when there was
sudden snap, cry of horror from the shaft in
which the cage had but moment before dis

the bottom of the mine.
II was some little time before any assistance
could be sent them. The shaft down which
they had plunged to death was useless, and
other ways of getting at the place where they
had fallen were roundabout. Fortunately,
there was some help for the dead and dying

Desperate Act of Bride of Tive
Months.
A tragedy, in which woman was the prin-
cipal, was enacted in New York at Seventh
avenue and Fortieth street. Mrs Wsldron,
wife of two months, was the enaetor, and the
victim her husband, John R. Waldrop, aged
twenty-five. She fired two shots at him, one
taking effect in the neck snd the other in the
chest. The victim died at the hospital. The
Waldrons lived at 229 West Fortieth street
since their marriage. For the pasttwo weeks,
Mrs. Wsldron says, Waldron had not been at
his home.
Mrs Waldron was heard to say as she was
passing down Seventh avenue with her hus-
band: You've got to support me, or / will
kill you." They had not gone far when the
fatal shots were fred. WaIdron is a son of
Wyndham Waldron, well-known horse
trainer. At the home of the dead man it was
said that Waldron did not support his wife,
and that he frequently abused her. But it was
said she had bad temper, was an opium hend
and frequently remained out at night, and
that they were married at Camden, n. J, while
he was drunk.

The Hunters Badge.

There is an old custom in Scotland.
according to which any one who ha,
killed stag, a salmon, seal aud au
eagle, has right to wear Gf he pays for
it, the hunters badge, which consists of
small gold watch charm in the shape
of shield with the heads of the above
embossed in the four corners.
This is all very well as far as the stag
and salmon are concerned and perhaps
also the seal, although it seems rather a
shame the seals, which are growing rare
in Scotland. But inasmuch as the badge
calls for the destruction of eagles it is a
great mistake, as eagles are almost ex-
tinct in Scotland, owing to the senseless
practice of killing them down on all
possible occasions; and why it should be
an honor to shoot with a shotgun big
slow-dyiug bird does not seem very clear,
the usual way being to watch the eagles
nest and shoot it as 1t comes to feed its
young.
The eagle ought to be omitted, and
list of all the game birds of Scotland
substituted, so as to make the holder OF
the badge an all-round hunter.
There is a more recent badge called
the "stalker's badge" which is for any
one who has "stalked" (still huutedD a
stag over certain size of horns, entirely
by himself. This requires some doing.
The usual Scotch and English deer
shooters have a man to guide them,
which, OF course, is not allowed when
qualifying for the badge.
If there was ''hunter's badge" started
for America. given to any one who has
killed certain of the big game CT America
in sFortsmanlike way, it might educate
men up to taking care of the game, spare
females, etc, as any one who shoots big
game in sportsmanlide manner would
be able to wear the badge, which need
not be expensive, as it could be Of
bronze; aud if he met any member of a
shooting club who had not got badge
on, he would know what class of shooter
he was, aud might shame the unsports-
manlike shooter into mending his ways.
