of this city. The mine is known as
the Laurel Hill and is operated by
Pardee Bros. 1t is reported that the
water now standing in the Sugar Loaf
mine has burst into the Laurel Hill
and that a cave in has occurred.
About 800 men are employed in this
mine.
T he effect produced by the report OF
the accident wac electrifying. In less
lhan five minutes 10000 people were
hurrying to the scene of the disaster.
Among the first to arrive was Frank
Pardee, one of the operators. He and
Superintendent Lurkin headed
rescuing parties and descend

was soon raised and had on board
three grimy excited miners. These
three men had been caught by the
tremendous rush of the water and
were carried by it to the foo: of the
slope. They sustained serious inju.
ries caused by being knocked againt
the timbers. Ten more have been
rescued but it is now believed thirty
have been killed.

who have exhausted every means in

Late this afternoon the place was
handed over to an auctioneer, who
will sell the remaining furniture of
the hotel under the hammer in a day
or two.
No positive arrangements have been
made for the immediate return 10 this

barely possible that she will make her
appearance on the stage next season
under the same management as was
contemplated for her original tour,
though she has had several other
tempting offers. Young Blaine has
nearly recovered, but it will require

Fritz, a self-satisfied young man living
in the village of Glare. is the laugh
ing stock of the country round. For
some time Fritz has been urging his
attentions on pretty daughter of a
well-to-do farmer. He was repeatedly
given to understand that his intentions
were unwelcome. but he persisted
in forcing himself upon the family.
Fritz called one evening when
the girls parents were not at
home, and as he had been drinking,
made himself especially obnoxious.
The girl ordered him out, and he re-
fused to 90. She then called her two
sisters to her assistance, and the three
girls tied the young mans arms and
secured a stout hickory rail. Fritz
was perched upon it, and while two Of
the girls carried the rail. one held
their victim in position. Fritz was
given free ride toward town, while
all who saw the strange procession ap-
plauded the plucky girls.

Of representatives of the last congress,
seems to have come to a sudden stop.
At any rate a reply to the letter writ
ten by Capt. Nathan Appleton to the

in full of proceedings shows
remarkable carelessness in the
business Of the government. The
letter states that only about a dozen
copies of the testimony were printed,
and these. owing to the extreme hur-
ny attending the closing up OF the
matter pertaining to the investigation,
in some way have mysteriously disap-
peared.
Even members of the committee
are without testimony. The type in

THE TOLEDO DECISION
Not Unexpected BY the Fire
mans Brotherhood-Com.
pIications Worrying the
Grand Master.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, April THE
decisions by the United States court at
Toledo were expected at the inter.
national headquarters of the Brother
hood of Locomotive T iremen. Indeed
the outcome of the proceedings was
accepted ten days ago as basis for
the consideration of still further COM
plications. Grand Master Sargent
said when the first ruling was made
that if the court held that the men
must not refuse to haul Ann ArbOr
freight over connecting roads, the men
would be found to be either too i'll to
perform their duty, or if need be
would resign their positions. He had
been in Toledo and had carefully esti-
mated the sentiment among the men.
The boycott provision in the ritual of
the Brotherhood of Engineers has no
counterpart in any of the laws Of the
Brotherhood of Firemen.
Mr. Sargent is personally opposed
to the boycott idea. 1t may be said
that Chief Arthur holds like views.
Mr.. Sargent says he understood
that the firemen would act with the
engineers in their purpose to carry on
the fight against the Ann Arbor road
by such means rs may be deemed
most expedient and not liable to con-
tempt proceedings. The iiremen, he
said, are in entire sympathy with the
engineers and will resign their places
as an alternative to being subjected to
the stigma of 'scabbing.'
The anomalous situation is, in fact,
that the engineers. heretofore an ac-
ceptedly conservative organization
which has refused to join the fedora
ton of railway labor order, inspired by
the firemen, for fear of being cia>scd
with the extremists. is now leading
an extreme boycott movement.
What the end will be, no one at
headquarters ventures prediction.

WHEAT PROSPECTS.
Reports From Eleven States
Show no Marked Improve
ment in the Condition.

CHICAGO. ILL, April 5.-The fol-
lowing will appear in this week,
Farmers Rerie,r: A detailed report
covering eleven states shows that there
has been little improvement in the
condition of winter wheat since the
last report. Later conditions of tenn
perature and moisture may improve
the crop, but the present condition in
Illinois is not even fair.
Most of the reports run from fair to
poor.
In some counties late sown wheat
is found to be killed and will have to
be plowed up. On clay lands and
especially the damage in some coun-
ties has been great In other counties
the late sown wheat sproufed after the
advent of winter and such fields were
killed by the later severe weather.
In Indiana the general condition is
fair.
Ohio reports show the condition to
be much better than in either of the
two states mentioned Condition va
ries from fair to good. Early wheat
is looking well, but late is not 50 prom
Using.
MICHIGAN.
In Michigan the condition varies
greatly, some reporting very good and
and some very poor prospects. Gen
eral condition Is fair
MISSOURI.
In Missouri most of the correspond
ents report fair. \ few report poor
and few good. Some wheat has
been frozen out and fields look dead.
while other fields look well. Lack Of
snow has been great factor in the
deterioration of crops. There seems TO
be general Improvement going on.
KANSAS.
The conditions in Kansas are little
better than in Missouri, thee crop needs
rain badly.
NEBRASKA.
In Nebraska the general condition
is good, but in most counties there
has been little growth. Few counties
report the condition as bad.
IOWA.
Iowa condition is reported at
fair to good.
WISCONSIN,.
In Wisconsin many of the wheat
fields are still covered with snow.
MINNESOTA.
Reports from Minnesota are too
meagre to summarize.
