George Winter, of Middletown, New
York, who travels for house in this
city, brings a story from Dunkirk. He
says that the efforts of the single tax
men of Quincy, Ill, Chicago, and other
places, to have public Improvements
taxed on the property Immediately BEN
Gifted, gave some of the single takers
of Dunkirk an idea There had long
been talk in that town of paving the
main street, aud method after method
had been proposed for raising money
for that purpose, but had always been
objected to and defeated by the proper
ty owners Finally an idea was ad-
vanced. based on the methods devised
by the Quincy and Chicago single tax
men, with the result that finally, by
unanimous consent, a block on the
main street of Dunkirk was ordered
paved, the expense to be paid by the
property owners Immediately benefited
This having been decided, the citizens
concluded that the paving should be .
first class job, and they authorized the
town council to make a contract to lay,
first, a base of cement twelve inches
deep, and to put on top of it brick that
is made in Pennsylvania especially for
paving purposes The contract called
for si4 running foot for the pavement
When the job was completed and the
block turned over to the city the people
resolved to have jolli6cation ove- it,
and three weeks ago the affair came
of. 1t was holiday in Dunkirk Eve
erybody gathered to celebrate the paw
ing of block that had cost the city
nothing. and yet was considered to be
| a marvel of paving work. The mayor
delivered the opening address, and con-
graduated the citizens that a method
had finally been discovered by which
public improvements could be made
without running the city into debt.
Senator vedder also addressed the
meeting and told the people that he
had travelled over q great part OF the
world, and was free to say that that
newly paved block could not be sur
passed in any of the great cities he had
visited. And ON the outskirts OF the
crowd stood group of men who took
no part in the proceedings not even ap'
plauding the speakers. but whose faces
beamed with . smile that is only seer
on the faces of men who have carried
an idea to q successful issue Tbs
speakers did not say 50 from the stand
but these men said to each other
There is demonstration of how thu

BESsEMER, Mich, Sept. pa cave
in occurred at the East Norrie mine at
Ironwood early this morning. Ten men
are entombed, and it is impossible to
tell whether they can be rescued alive.
The mine is surrounded by weeping
and frantic women and relatives, and the
scenes are pitiful. Hundreds of men
are working to release their cOmpan
ions. The company is driving pipes to
get air in to the men. Ii the water in
the mine does not rise and drown the
men they may be rescued. Voices can
be heard at intervals. The names of
the victims are:
John Johnson. miner; Abraham
Thompson, miner; Frank Damshon,
miner; Samuel Damshon, miner, and
four timbermen, names unknown; two
trlmmers, names unknown. The skip
tender is also missing and it is feared
that he is caught in the mine.
AT o'clock tonight the men caught
in the cave were still entombed. and
their fellow workmen were working
with might and main for their rescue.
Capt. Sutbe, of the mine, is certain that
the cave has not molested the
passage in which the entombed
men are supposed to be, and
they are all safe. Hundreds of men,
women and children are gathered about
the shaft house eagerly waiting for
news of the men below. Relatives of
John johnson, Thompson and the two
Damshons are among them, and the
grief OF the fearful suspense has well
nigh driven them insane.
