ANOTHER SLIDE AT EAGLE GORGE.
Steam shovel Buried Under Tons of
Earth. but No One Hurt.


Earth, but No One Hurt.
TACOMA. Jan. 16.-[Special. About an
hour after dozen or more men had quit
work last evening in the vicinity of the
large steam shovel which has been oper-
ated on a sidetrack at Eagle Gorge for
some time the entire bank, which rises
over fifty feet, caved in and completely
buried the steam shovel. As far as can be
learned no one was injured. A small
quantity of earth and rocks was hurled
over on the main track, obstructing for
short time freight train then about to
pass.
Reports circulated here today that the
main track was covered with debris for
distance of 800 feet feet are untrue The
high embankment. together with large
boulders and some tree stumps buried the
main track for distance OF over 100 feet.
Engineer Dixon, Division Engineer Bib
lers assistant at that point, telegraphed
his chief this afternoon that his force of
80 men would be five days in unearthing
the steam shovel. The debris will be used
in ballasting the main line.
Had the slide occurred an hour earlier it
is probable several of the workmen would
have been killed.

A USE FOR MINE REFUSE.
Coal Sorted From 1t and So1d-Poliutio
of Rivers Avoided.

An industry of recent development and
of Importance to Seattle and points along
the Columbia & Puget Sound railroad, is
the separation of coal from the dump rock
of the Newcastle, Franklin. Cedar Mount
ain and Black Diamond mines.
This rock is sold to parties in this city
at 81 per car load. When it is delivered
here laborers work it over and separate
the Stag and the coal left in it at the
mines. The coal thus obtained is put in
sacks and sold. Dealers say that it is of
good quality and sells readily.
This disposal of the slack relieves the
rivers and streams near the mines of re-
fuse matter, which has always been a
source of trouble. The dump piles of the
mines fill up the streams, and either drive
out or kill the fish. 1t is also claimed
that the agricultural interests in the
neighborhood have suffered from the same
cause

CAUSE OF A QUEER SENSATION.

Danger of Eating Ice Cream Quickly In
Hot Wcathcr-Its Physical Effect.
During the scorching weather of July
and August you often rush into an ice
cream saloon with the avowed intention
of cooling your body to at least few
degrees below the melting point. If
you are in n great hurry, says the
Globe-Democrat, you are apt to make
the first few spoonfuls of the cooling
mixture rather large. This almost i'm
mcdiatalN igiyM ypu o violent pain in
the temples or somewhere in the region
OF the eyes. Why is this? Did you ever
stop to think? One who has studied
the physiology of the case says that it
is caused in the following manner: The
frozen mixture, coming in contact with
the nerves of the throat 1.-THE larynx,
pharynx, etc. temporarily paralyzes
them. The sensation instantly shoots
to the center of those nerves, which is
in the brain, but finds there q side con-
nection in the shape of the great facial
nerve, which starts from in front of the
ear and extends its branches over the
sides of the face. One branch of this
facial nerve, extending across the tenn
pie, is Nerve of sensation" utilized
chiefly to govern the play of the mouth.
This great facial nerve side-tracks the
pain which proceeds from the chill,
throwing it out along the nerve branch
which traverses the temple, the pain be-
ing most agonizing at the points where
the nerve branches, If the irritation
be extraordinary the "refex" action
which takes place may cause violent
pain in the eyeballs as well as in the tenn
pie, the eye pain being simply sympa-
thctic. The person who rashly swallows
great mouthfuls of frozen milk should
remember that every time it comes in
contact with the nerves of his throat
the whole nervous system is injured to
greater or less extent.

log walls between her and the wild
beast, the brave little maiden stopped
to listen. There was q fearful racket
going on within, and carefully peeping
through chink, she saw, the panther
making desperate leaps in futile en-
deavor to reach the hole near the ridge
pole, where he had got in.
Seeing that she had him penned the
brave girl conceived bold plan, and,
quickly putting bride on to horse,
she mounted bareback and rode at full
speed, with the child in her arms, to
The nearest neighbours, mile or two
from her own home. There she left
the child, and, borrowing an old
musket, the only gun left on the place,
she hastily loaded it with heavy
charge of bucllshot and fastened home
on the plea that there was big buck
close to the house that she wished to
kill. She found her unwelcome visitor
still in his involuntary prison, and,
jumping off the horse, she crept up to
the side of the great chimney and
peered through chinl, as before. The
panther had dragged down the carcass
of the deer and was feasting on it in
the middle of the floor Carefully
thrusting the muzzle of her gun
through the chin1, she took deliberate
aim just behind the brute's ear rs he
stood not ten feet away and pulled the
trigger.
The noise and rccoil Of the old flint
lock piece quite stunned her for a mo-
ment, but she quickly regained her
wits. and, looking in, she saw the
panther stretched dead upon the floor.
Just then her mother rode UP and
would hardly believe the story her ex-
cited daughter told her until, the door
being opened, there lay the proof-a
panther, nearly ten feet from tip to tip.
The great hunt ended without anything
being slain to which the depredations
on the sheep could be attributed, but
when the assembled hunters saw the
great brute that Sallie had laid low
they all agreed that this was without
doubt the author of the losses in their
hocks, and the fact that from that time
those losses ceased would seem to prove
the correctness of their theory. Ex-
animation showed that the panther had
found the spot where Dulin had killed
and dressed his deer the night previous
and had then followed the trail, prob
ably guided by the drops Of blood that
had fallen from the game as it was car
ried home, until, reaching the cabin
and goaded by hunger and the scent of
the fresh meat inside, he had leaped on
to the roof and met his fate at the hand

have seen.-St- Louis Globe Democrat.

The door of the cabin stood wide
open, and Sallie's first move was to
rush to it and close it, fastening it from
within with its heavy wooden latch
There was no window to the little
house, and although she surveyed as
much of the yard us possible through
sundry places where the ''chinlsing"
had dropped from between the logs,
She could see nothing alarming, and, as
the cry was not repeated, she began to
be almost persuaded that she had i'm
agined it all, when again that blood
curdling cry rose, this time close at
hand, and instantly followed by the
sound of some heavy body lighting on
the roof, proving that the animal, what
ever it was, was of no common activity.
The cabin was rooted, pioneer fashion,
with split ''clapboards" held in place
by heavy poles, and the movement of
the animal caused few of the clap
boards to be displaced, letting light
into the semi-darkness of the room be-
low. Sallic had snatched the babe out
of it's cradle and stood in the center of
IHc rooln, CcrrlDly irlBntencQ, but
pluckY and ready to fly for safety if it
became necessary Looking up through
the new-made opening in the roof, she
could make out the shape of some huge
gray beast, and great paw, armed
with terrible claws, striking the clap
boards until they flew right and left,
like chips from the ak of slzillful
woodsman.
1t was evident that the panther, for
such Sallic now recognized the beast to
be, was determined to enter the house,
SO, quickly stepping to the door, she
carefully raised the latch and stood, not
yet daring to go outside, and yet afraid
to remain too long within. A sudden
slipping of the clapboards under tho
panther's feet so enlarged the hole that
he slipped and fell, much to his sur
prise, rear end foremost, down into the
room. Sallie saw her chance, and as
the panther came in at the roof she fed
out Mt the door, with the child in her
arms, and closing the door from the
outside as she ran. Once with the stout

feeling, as one stands and watches it,
as If one had suddenly got into quite a

one may often hear owls call to each

One of the most curious of North

which inhabits a hole in the ground.
