terday afternoon and escaped serious injury
Miller is a laborer, and lie was engaged in
digging q trench for q sewer on Laurel
place in the rear of the new Mills building
Some Of the property-owners objected TO
having the sand thrown up against their
premises, and so it was piled up in one heap
ALONGSIDE tie trench and prOpped up by
boards. By o'clock Miller had maze con
siderable progress with the work, and stood
in the sewer with his head ana shoulders
above the level Of the street Suddenly
there was crashing Of timbers and the sup
ports to the sand-pile gave way
Before Miller could escape from his peril
Gus position the sand rolled in upon him
and buried him up to his shoulders. There
was considerable excitement among the men
engaged in working upon the building and
great crowd soon collected. James Gille-
ran and Frank Owens procured spades and
went to work with will TO iiberate the nm
fortunate lab0rer. 1t took an hour and
half 10 remove the sand and timberS that
held MilleT's body as though in n wise.
When Miller was finally drawn out the

Previous to the event of the evening Joe

famous Australian heavyweight.
The entries for the Olympic boxing tour
nament closed last evening. but owing to
the fact that none of the officers who had
charge of the entries were present the
names Of the contestants could not be OBJ
tanned.
ms evening TWO important matters will
be decided at the California Club. The
first will be the election of officers for the
ensuing year, and the second will be a con-
test to a finish between Dial Hawkins and
Sol Smith.
The fight between Hawkins and Smith
will give the directors an opportunity of
gauging the merits of the contestants, as it is
their intention Of matching the winner
against Cal Mccarthy
l.. Il. Fulda declared last night that he
will decline TO serve as an officer Of the club
after the election tonight.
Hawkins is a strong favorite in the bet
ting, which is owing to his experience and
ability to avoid being hit by a slogger who
has had only one professional fight against
a man of little renown. Smith VIII RELY en-

THE HHEATERS.
4" The PIunger With Its New
People at the Alcazar.
Oliver Byron, Beatrice Lieb, Fred Warren
The Black Hussar" at the Tivoli.
No Other Changes.

Oliver Byron and company. including
several new faces, reintroduced The
Plunger" TO a large and fashionable au-
dience at the AlcaZar last evening. Beyond
the fact that the drama as produced is
strong excitant of laughter, on account Of
the many ridiculous situations introduced,
we cannot say much for its construction.
Mr.. Byron as Dexter Digit, the hero of the
cast, was warmly welcomed on his entree
He plays with great deal Of
vlvacity and earnestness. but is not nice
in detail. If he we're be would not have en-
tered on the scene when he is supposed to
come from a bird-shoOtDg tramp, with
shotgun and an Italian greyhound in
leash. Somebody ought to have given Oliver
pointer on this situation. The new funny
man, Mr.. Fred Warren, who played Bill
Spike, the tramp, is a low comedian Of the
cOaTsest and bToadest stripe, dependent on
the situation for effects rather than on his
individual and innate powers so lar as the
Wis cOmlca is concerned. But he VIII please.
Roars OF laughter greeted him at every torn,
and his face would draw laugh even were
it in repOse. He is not a legitimate sue
cessOr to his namesake, Uncle VIII
ham, Of the Boston Theater; but he
will do for the AlcaZar. There they
do not care about having too hne
II pom put Oh buG dCklllss DlUdd lislAto anu
deep shades are in vogue. Miss Beatrice
Lieb. who played Mrs. Nora Glover, the
widow, is a tall, handsome woman, free,
flexible and fr0icsOme. She caught the an-
dience closely, and will no doubt prove
fayorite. SO did Bebe Viniug as Matte Gray,
the typewriter. An important factor in
the cast was Mr.. Ben Cotton as
Simeon, the bodyguard, a Coon"
Il is hard to say what the vigor
of the piece would have been without Ben.
He managed to be always on hand at tie
right time and worked up the situations to
a nicely w such means as a gluepot, shot
gun, etc. Ben is getting to be quite an
actor, en- silhouette. Miss Genevieye Lyt-
ton as Ethel Rextord, the orphan of the
murdered broker. played the little senti-
mental part very nicely, relieving many OF
the coarser features Of the piece, which to
say the truth is but TOugh-and-tumblea al
fair after ali. 1.-The Plunger" will take
header again tonight.
