cave-in on Phillips lease of the J. @.
johnson mine at noon yesterday, by
which Gus Anderson was imprisoned in
drift A large force of men was put
to shoveling away the dirt and ore that
blocked the drift, but it continued to
come down faster than it could be re-
moved. This mode Of rescuing the en-
tombed man was abandoned at 100 clock
last night. An upraise is being driven
from the level below the one in which
the miner is imprisoned to connect with
the latter. Anderson was alive at 10
o'clock, as he could be heard striking
with 9 hammer at his end of the drift

about ten feet long and six feet high,
and the air must be very foul by this
lime H will take two days to drive the
npraise. 4.

The court unanimously holds that the
bo>e description is only an attempt at
description, and that it is insufficient
as basis of taxation. and that no valid
assc ssment was or could be made on
such description. They say that the
description is not expressed in common
language, nor are characters and abbre-
viations employed such as are used by
conveyancers in describing real estate,
nor do the people generally use such
combination of words, letters and figures
in referring to or describing land. A
description of real estate is essential to
its assessment. and there being no sui.
fcient description in this case, there is
no assessment, and consequently no tax.
On the trial in the court below the in
validity of the tax deed was admitted by
the defendant, but as condition pre-.
cedent to cancelling the same and re-
moving the cloud on Powers land he
wanted his money paid for the delin-
quent taxes to be refunded with 80 per
cent interest. The trial cour. agreed
with him and rendered Judgment &C.
cordingly. This is reversed BY the gu
preme court on the ground that there
was no valid tax and it was error to re-
quire repayment of worthless con-
sideration expressed in the tax deed.
Another point of great moment to the
taxpayers of the state was also passed
upon. In this case it appears that the
board of county commissioners did not
assemble as q board of equalization at
the time required by statute. Judges
Corliss and Wallin hold that this fact
is fatal to the legality of the tax: that
the fact that the board of equalization
convened at later date does not cure
the omission to meet at the time and
place fixed by law. They say that the
public is not chargeable with notice of
any meeting of the board except that
designated in the statute. Judge
Bartholomew does not agree with this
part of the opinion.

Swindled His sweetheart.

WICHITA, Kan., Aug. 20.-Miss Katie
Callahan. a pretty young lady from
Cincinnati, reached here today. Her
journey has for its object the settlement
of some financial transaction between
herself and q young man named Warren
Ring, who left Cincinnati two weeks
ago and came home to his parents. Last
fall Miss Callahan, who is an orphan,
met Ring in Cincinnati. and the two
became lovers and finally became en-
gagged. Miss Callahan had inherited
about SO, 700 from her father, and in
order to hasten the wedding day she
lent portion of this sum to Ring, who
protested to know of prosperous bust
ness opening in Pittsburg, Pa. Ring
went to Pittsburg and after while re-
turned to his love. minus the money.
During last spring Ring unfolded an
other business enterprise to his fnan-
cial partner. and she again filled his
pockets, and he again returned to her
side bankrupt. In one way and an
other Ring got various sums from his
fiancee until she had nothing left, and
then he came home. Miss Callahan
was then advised to follow Ring out
here to see if she could not recover
something; hence her visit. Today she
called upon Ring, but the young man
took her by the shoulders and turned
her out of doors. Miss Callahan then
sought legal advice, and state warrant
has been issued for Rings arrest, but
he seems to have got wind of it, as he
cannot be found The young lady has
letters corroborating all the foregoing
facts

Blsw.ts Pieces

sNEw YoRK, Aug. ga terrific explo-
Gion took place at shelly's paint and
hronze store at 6S Park Place, blowing
cut the entire front Of the store. At the
time the explosion occurred many of
those who worked in the building were
q lunch. It is estimated that more
than 40 boys, girls, men and women
were in the building at the time. Those
who saw the catastrophe say that the
earth trembled when the explosion &C
CURED. and that the fire was in the
street in couple of seconds. The dust
from the wreck rose in such clouds that
for at least three minutes nothing could
be seen of what was left standing, but
from the pail which lowered over the
wrecked building came clouds of smoke
and sheets of flame, and
Yells and Shrieks of Agony.
Out of the clouds of fire and smoke half
. dozen persons emerged while from the
ix-story building on the Northeast
corner of Greenwich and Park Place
poured at least 100 working people of
both sexes and of all ages, uttering cries
Of alarm. When the firemen arrived
the Taylor building, 66 to rs Park Place,
was ablaze and the Greenwich extension
sf the building on fire. At o'clock the
fire was under control. Half of the
Greenwich street building had been
burned while the Taylor was a camplete
wreck. The losses were computed ut
$50, 900 for the Taylor building and con-
tents and $4,000 for the Greenwich
street building. As to the loss of life
the more conservative estimate, that Of
Fire Chief Cushman was that
Sixty People Perished.
Persons who knew how many worked in
the building daily ran the list up to 1870.
Nobody had been taken out at 1870 and
it appeared impossible to overhaul the
ruins for several hours. Eight per-
sons injured by the explosion were
taken to the Chambers street hospital.
Mike Carroll. who was employed
at 66 Park Place, says that there
was very little chance of many of them
escaping. There were seven men en-
ployed in the kitchen and Carroll says
they must have been killed. He also saw
four girls working in the basement, mix
ing bronze. and he does not think they
could have gotten out. Carroll saw seven
persons passing the building at the time
of the explosion, and all were knocked
down by the shock. Before they recov-
cred the walls fell on them and he thinks
they were killed. At 1880 p. m. the
police estimated the loss of life at BE-
tween sixty and seventy.

due course of time Larabee received q
