An Heroic Rescue.

PARKERsBURG, w. VA, July 12.-
The little two-year-old child OF Mrs.
Nutty had a most remarkable escape
from death Friday. The little one was
geetng too near the edge, lost its
balaDce and fell in. The we'll was
sixty-two feet deep and so narrow that
a full-grown person could not well
descend.
A six-year-old boy finally descended,
and catching the little ones clothing,
held tightly to it until they were both
pulled out again. Neither one was
hurt, and the little two-year-old tot was
playing about as usual an hour after
ward. In the fall the child had not
touched the sides, and the water at the
bottom saved her life.

TERRIBLE LANpsLIpE.
One Woman and Forty Indians Buried In
a mass of Rocks and Earth.

q sass of Rocks and Earth.
NANANIMo, B. c., July 12.-The
steamer Princess Louisa, from Skeena,
brings news of q terrible landslide on
the banks Of the Skeena river, resulting
in the death of one woman and about
forty Indians. On the 7th instant, at
a. m, those residing near the Northern
Pacific cannery, at Skeena river, heard
a great rushing noise in the direction
Of the high, steep mountain, at the back
OF the cannery. In n moment
an avalanche OF rocks and earth
and trees was upon the doomed settle
ment, carrying everything before it
into the slough close by the cannery.
In the mess room was the young Swed-
ish wife Of the foreman. She was car
rled along in the mad and deadly current
and dashed to death hundreds OF feet
below.
Indians claim that among those de-
stroyed were about forty Indians OF the
| Forts Simpson, Sitka, Metalakatlah and
Kitimat tribes. Two days after the slide
thirteen bodies of the Indians had been
recovered. The slide just missed the
cannery building about two feet.
Had the slide struck the cannery
or occurred half an hour earlier the
| death roll would have reached into the
huudreds. 1t is supposed the recent
heavy rains washed and broke away
the mountain side before 1t.
