James CarlyOn Killed at the North
Star Mine, at Grass Valley.
THROWN THIRTY FEET DOWN AN
INCLINE SHAFT
z. E. Towner, Who Ended His Life IL
a Cleveland Hotel, Well known In
San Diego County, Where He Was
Wanted on a Charge of Embezzle-
ment-A Child Run Over and Killed
at Redlands.
Special to the RECoRD-UNIoN.


GRASS VALLEY, May H.-Jas. Carlyon
was killed at the North Star mine last
night at o'clock. He had quit work for
the night, and bidding his friends on the
landing good-by, started down the gang
way toward the cellar of the shaft. Atthe
mouth of the shaft is large tly-wheel
revolving with great rapidity. Carlyon
must have stumbled and fallen against
the wheel. The wheel caught him and
threw him thirty feet down the incline
shaft. No one saw the wheel strike him,
but the men on the landing felt the jar,
and saw an object going down the shaft
with such lightning rapidity that they
could not tell whether it was a human
being or not. When found by some OF
the miners coming up the shaft at the
time CarlyOn was dead, and must have
been killed instantly, as his body was
torn, broken and bruised in a frightful
manner. The neck was broken, also the
right collar bone and the left arm. The
skull was crushed on the left side, and
the back of the head torn open. No one
is responsible for the accident. The un-
fortunate man was native of California,
aged 24 and unmarried. He leaves a
father, mother, grown sisters and brothers
here.

purchaser for tract of land owned by
the County Clerk, and had promised tho
purchaser to bring him buyer for part
of the land. He said he needed $3.50 10
deposit with the purchaser as evidence of
good faith, and would return the money
in day or two, when the purchaser
would pay 81 200 on the ranch trade. That

THE CLEVELAND SUICIDE.
Towner and Mrs. Allen Well Known
In San Diego County

in San Diego County.
SAN DIEGO, May 24.-This mornings
dispatch from Cleveland, O., about the
suicide at hotel there of E. E. Towner
OF Denver, who had arrived from the
West with Mrs. +. NJ. Allen Tor Brown
of San Francisco, but who sought law
yer for protection from Towner, who
threatened suicide if she would not marry
him, creates no particular surprise here
where the pair had been living up to early
in March. The woman went by the name
of Brown, was reputed to be divorcee
from Texas, had $1,000 worth OF dia-
monds. was dressy and seemed to have
plenty of money. Towner had been man
aging a ranch in the Linda Vista Irriga-
ton District, and was accordingly elected
Collector for that district. There was a
rumor that he was short in his accounts
at about the time of his leaving, but the
directors say that the district owes him
about as much as he was in debt to them.
When the pair left here Towner had
81, 200 cash, and after a night at San Ber-
nardino they went to the Palace Hotel at
San Francisco, en- route to the Worlds
Fair. Both are about 30 years of age, and
the woman always seemed to be the one
who was doing the courting.
The supposition is that worry about his
accounts here may have caused the sui
eide, as it is said he left numerous unpaid
debts about town.
The acquaintance of Towner say his
home was at Minneapolis, Kas., where his
father and two sisters lived. He came
10 /
as a manager Of ranches. He got ac-
quainted with Mrs. Brown at riding
school, and became intimate. He had
rooms in the same lodging house, and
they sat together at the hotel where they
boarded. The woman drove good deal
and has vehicles in storage here now.

CLEVELAND, May 24.-Fanny Allen,
alias Mrs. Brown, the woman connected
with last nights tragedy at the Hollen-

suicide, is at the City Hospital in Il seri-

The following telegram was received
from Cincinnati concerning the case
'E. E. Towner is wanted at San Diego,

in addressing the Iron and Steel Institute
to-day at its annual meeting, said that the
year 1892 was one of the worst ever known
in the iron and steel Industries. Thev

is gloomy. The production of pig iron
has fallen off 600.0 tons, and steel rails
are in the worst condition. The total fall
ing Off of exports of metals and machin-
cry, as compared with 1891, amounted to
e7, 600 sterling. The markets are now
swamped, and there is not enough work for
half the country's steel-producingp power.
Abel, who followed Richards, spoke in
an encouraging and hopeful tone, and ex-
pressed the opinion that there are signs
of betterment. England, he said, is bound
to remain the first iron shIp-buildiup
country in the world. 1t is announced
that John Fritz of Bethlehem, Pa. will

The latter asked tor certificate, and
Choate contended that Ny was not en-
titled to it. He said Ny had no excuse
to offer why he had not secured a certifi-
cate within the prescribed time. Judge
Lacombe, in accordance with the
provisions Of the Geary Act, refused
to grant a certificate. Ny was placed
under arrest, but released in few min
utes in order to be deported from the
United States whenever provisions for
such deportation shall be made by the
