DEATH IN A NINE.
Fatal Collapse at Crystal Falls,
Mich.
The Waters of River Oyerwhelm the
Worknen, Twenty-EiSht of Whom
Are Drowned-No Hope OF Get
ting the Bodies.
A Michigan Disaster.

CRYSTAL FALLS, Mich, Sept 3d.
With roar and rush the waters OF the
Michigamme river broke through the
Mansfield mine, drowning twenty-eight
of the employees at work directly under
the stream. The eighteen men who
escaped were employed in the lower
levels. The accident occurred Thursday
night between and 10 o'clock, but did
not become known until later. None
of the bodies have been recovered, and
it is believed it will be necessary to di-
vert the channel of the river before
they can be secured.
The Mansfield mine is situated on
the banks of the Michigamme river,
about miles east of Crystal Falls, the
county seat of Iron county. 1t has
been working between three and four
years, and has shipped about 10000
tons of Bessemer ore. The ore lead
dipped rapidly beneath the stream, and
for more than two years the workings
have been directly under the bed of the
river.
The depression in the iron trade has
closed practically all the mines in the
Crystal Falls district, and the Mans
field was the only one from which any
ore was raised, the fine quality of its
product enabling it to keep on work
ing. The night shift had gone down,
and though some one noticed that
more water than usual was coming
into the mine, no special alarm was
felt, as the pumps seemed to keep the
drifts free. Habituated to danger, the
miners went to their work as usual, in
tent only upon the accomplishment of
the daily task that brought food and
shelter for themselves and families.
So the work went, on its usual course
until after o'clock. Then there was
the flood that it is doubtful if the men
in the upper levels were able to reach
the shaft at all. The scenes of horror
and death in the upper levels can only
be imagined, for no one escaped to tell
the tale. Had the men been able to
reach the shaft death would still have
been certain, for the old, or No. 1, shaft,
the only direct means of reaching the
upper levels, collapsed and fell in about
9:30, cutting off all escape that way.
Had there been time the men might
have descended by some means to the
lower levels and crossed over to No.
shaft, but the inrushing flood came
too fast.
The death of twenty-eight men
marked the end of the Mansfield mine,
for unless the river be forced to seek
another channel this rich deposit of
iron ore can never be worked again.
Eight of the victims leave families OF
children fatherless, and about half OF
the remaining twenty men were the
| support of parents.

The Position of the President on the FL

ATLANTA, Ca, Sept. 29.-In reply to
a letter from Gov. Northen asking the
president to give his position on fnan-
cial matters Mr.. Cleveland has sent the
following reply:
To Hon. w. ]. Northen:
EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON, Sept
2L-My Dear Sir: hardly know how to reply
to your letter of the 5th inst It seems to me
that I am quite plainly on record concern
ing the financial Quest ton My letter accept
ing the nomination to the presidency when
read in connection with the message lately
sent to congress in extraordinary session, ap-
pears to me to be very explicit I want cur
rency that is stable and safe in the hands of our
people will not knowingly be implicated in a
condition that will Justly make me in the least
the United States for the shrinkage in the pur-
chasing power of the dollar he has received for
a full dollars worth of work. or for good dol
lars worth of the product of his toll
not only want our currency to be of such a
character that all kinds of dollars will be of
equal purchasing power at home, but want 1t
to be of such character as will demons trate
abroad our wisdom and good faith, thus placing
upon a fir m foundation credit among the ma
tionS of the earth I want financial con-
ditions and the laws relating to our currency
SO safe and reassuring that those who have
money will spend and invest it in business and
can not cure fright by calling it foolish and un-
reasonable, and you can not prevent the
frightened man from boarding his money.
1 want good, sound and stable money and a
condition of confidence that will keep it in use.
Within the limits of what have written !
am a friend of silver, but I believe its proper
place in our currency can only be fixed by re-
adjustment of our currency legislation and the
Inauguration of a consistent and comprehensive e
financial scheme I think such thing can
only be entered upon profitably and hopefully
after the repeal of the law which is charged
with all financial woes. In the present
state of the public mind this law cannot be
built upon nor patched in such a way as to re-
lieye the situation
am therefore opposed to the free and unlim
tied coinage of silver by this country alone and
independently, and am in favor of the imme
diate and unconditional repeal of the purchas
ing clause of the so-called Sherman law.
confess am astonished by the opposition
in the senate to such prompt action as would
relieve the present unfortunate situation.
My daily prayer is that the delay occasionei
by such opposition may not be the cause Of
plungiug the country into deeper depression
than it has yet known, and that the democratic
party may not be justly held responsible fol
such cataS trophe. Yours very truly,

Mr.. Jacobs alleges that the presence
of sooners in the strip was due to the
fact that the army department did not
furnish enough soldiers to keep the

ants for every lot in Perry, and, he
said, two or three for every desirable
