Kinney had been ordered out o. the coun-
try by the strikers and was helping some Of
his former employees to reach Spokane. In
all there were 1872 men from different mines.
They had been entirely disarmed and were
waiting for boat, which was late.
just at dusk last evening squad Of eighty
armed men came charging down the railroad
track yelling and firing rifles. The refugees
scattered in different directions and ran
for the river, mountain and gulf, their
pursuers following them up and shooting

themselves in the bushes.
In Terrible Condition.
I'm all, we picked up eight or ten of these
miserable wretches," continued Kinney,
some were swimming in the water and
others had been lying IN the
bushes. All were wet, cold and perish
ing from hunger, fright and ex-
posurc. After swimming the river, they had
waited for three hours before the boat came
along. 1t was the most pitiabe sight |

from fright. When the boat would run her

eager to get aboard that they would not wait
for small boats, but would wade and swim to

"When some of the mon were running

Both Messrs. Kinney and Loring are of
the belief that the mob never will stop now
until they kill every man not member of
the union. They doubt if any of those driven

Is from Rust a cause of Fire2

When oxide of iron is placed in con-
tact with timber excluded from the at
mosphere. and aided by slightly in
creased temperature, the oxide will part
with its oxygen, and is converted into
very finely divided particles of metallic
iron having such an affinity for oxygen
that, when afterward exposed to the &C
ton of the atmosphere from any cause,
oxygen is SO rapidly absorbed that these
particles become suddenly red hot, and
if in sufficient quantity will produce a
temperature far beyond the ignition
point Of dry timber.
Wherever iron pipes are employed for
the circulation of any heated medium,
whether hot water, hot air or steam, and
the pipes are allowed to become rusty,
in close contact with timber, it is only
necessary to suppose that under these
circumstances the particles of metallic
iron become exposed to the action of the
atmosphere-and this may occur from
the mere expansion or contraction of the
pipes-in order to account for many of
the fires which periodically take place
at the commencement of the winter

Air Strata Over Cities.

The popular idea that the higher one
gets in the city air the purer the atmos-
phere becomes, has been disproved by
evidence given before a select committee
on house of commons ventilation in Lon
don. 1t is found that the air OF cities
like London, where soft coal is burned.
is purest at thirty or forty feet from the
ground. Lower than that the dust is
encountered and higher the smoke from
the chimneys.
These conclusions were arrived at
from experiments with frames of wood
covered with blanketing material put
at different eleyations-one on top OF the
clock tower at Westminster, another on
the highest point of the roof and others
at various heights down to the court
yard. After five hours exposure there
were found to be more smuts at high
elevations than at low, but on the level
of the courtyard there were considera-
BILE quantities of dust.
The inference from these experiments
is that the common notion that the high
est stories of the tallest blocks of flats
are desirable for their salubrity is apt to
be mistaken one, and that beyond forty
feet nothing is gained by going higher
unless very great height-some say 4ot
or 500 feet-is reached. Louisville Cou.

A Woman Bandit Captured.

The famous Russian woman bandit,
who has for the, last ten years been the
terror of Servia, has been captured in a
cave on the Rou1nanian frontier, where
she was nursing her sick lover. Young,
handsome and a perfect markswoman,
she went about in mans dress, with her
belt full of weapons and her rifle slung
on her saddle, at the head of band Of
devoted Haiducks, with whom she COM
mitted her robberies. Her people
warned her that she was in danger of
capture, but she refused to abandon her
lover, and only surrendered after she
had killed two gendarmes.
