ing to do? Let the new road go ahead I.
Hardly. In our opinion one Of these
roads will have branch from Rifle or
New Castle to Craig before the new
line gets this side of the continental
divide. The outlook for the Nampa
and White river valleys having rail
road in the near future never was bet
ter. and it lies with the management OF
the new company to say which valley
shall have two roads. OF course it may
strike both, 10y going through Yellow
jacket pass. In either event ROutt and
Rio Blanco will be benefited.
The Steamboat Pilot has thoughts
which are not very distantly related
from ours, as the following shows:
The proposed new railroad from Den
yer to San Francisco may come by way
of Steamboat, and it may not. OF one
thing our people may rest assured, and
that is that the officials Of the Denver X
Rio Grande railroad are not asleep, and
will have trains running down the
Yampa valley before any new company
can get things in shape for real work.

P[RlS0F TIE GREAT DEEP
British Ship Goes 10 Pieces OH The
Caps Cod Coast.
ONLY one OF The CREW SAVED.
The Captain aud Thirty-four Others were
Lost, the Life-saving Crew Being Uu-
able to Reach Them-she Was Just
finishing a Voyage from Calcutta.
Especial to The News.l

HIoHLAND LIGHT, Mass, Dec. 6.-The
British ship Jason, Captain Mcmillan,
Calcutta for Boston, went ashore last
night off Eastham. But one OF her crew
was saved and he was washed from the
rigging and brought ashore by the tre-
mendous seas.
At 3 O'Clock yesterday afternoon the
Jason made tho land off Cape Cod, and for
the rest of the afternoon she struggled
valiantly TO weather the point. The cap
tain had lost his bearings in the binding
storm, and when land was sighted he was
so near that il soon became apparent that
his ship was lost.
Men on shore had seen the vessel strug-
Cling in the terrific seas, and the life-sav-
ing crews from Point River station and
the Highlands station were notified. These
two crews were soon Joined by the crew
of the Pamet station, and all hands hur-
ried the life-saving apparatus over the
yielding sands TO point opposite the
stranded ship.
1t was after 8 o'clock before the men
were in readiness with their guns. boats,
and life-lines. At that time pieces of
boats, spars, and other wreckage were
coming ashore, and by the lights carried
by the patrolmen the great white crested
surges could be seen breaking all over the
ship.
With the wreckage was discovered a
humen body, and when il came up on the
beach life-savers quickly sprang and
clutched il before thesuck OF the receding
waves could take it back to the sea.
The usual efforts practiced in cases of
drownding persons were restored 10, and
in half an hour signs OF life were apparent
Stimulants were administered, and in an
other half hour Samuel Evans WAS ahle to
talk.
According TO his story, as soon as the
officers saw that ell hope was gone the
crew were ordered TO the rigging. The
ship struck in the changing sands OF
Eastman, aid the seas began rolling all
over her.. Evans was clinging TO the lee
rail when she struck, but before he could
reach place of safety in the rigging he
was swept away.
At 10:30 D. IN. ono CT the ships masts
went by the board, and it was believed
that she was breaking up. The life
savers, after several unsuccessful attempts,
succeeded in shooting a lifeline over the
doomed ship, but the sailors, who are be-
lieved TO be in the rigging, did not SEEM
to be able to secure it.
She was loaded with jute. There were
thirty-six in the Jason's crew and all we're
lost but one. She was built at and halls
from Greenock. Scotland, and is Of 1910
tons burden.

He made an inventory OF the firms stock

Lewis left the store shortly af:eyward and

Almost instantly t could be seen that
something was wrong. a slight examin-

EXPECT TO LOSE MONEY.
BUT the NEWPORT NEWS COMPANY
WANTS GOVERNMENT Work.
All Three OF the New Light Drught Cun-
What the Boats are For.

WAsHINaToN, Dec. 6.-The three light
draught gun nboats, authorized by tie last
congress, OF about 1900 tons displacement,
will all be built by the Newport News
Shipbuilding company at their bid OF
f2o0,0OO for each vessel. The contract
was yesterday formally awarded by
Secretary Herbert TO that firm. The
delay in making the award was due to the
secretary's desire to have the
plans carefully examined so
as to avoid a possible repeti-
tion of the mistakes -in-ths- gunboats
which have recently been pronounced
topheavy. The Walker board has re-
Ported that the plans for all three ships
were found to be perfectly satisfactory.
The Newport News firm is the first one
south OF Baltimore that was ever awarded
contract to build vessels for the new
navy.
The bids were so low that naval
officers are wondering how it is
possible to construct the vessel with
out great loss. The company affirm
that they expect to lose money on the
work, but are willing to have it so rather
than miss chance Of building ships for
the government.
Two specially Built for China Cruising.
Two vessels are of the same design and
are intended for service in Asiatic
waters. Their hulls are specially de-
signed for the shallow rivers Of China.
Ample protection is to be given their
rudders to prevent injury by snags
and bars which abound in most OF
the streams. They are to differ
from the other Qunboats OF the York.
town type, inasmuch as their decks are
flush and they are to have little or no
spread Of canvas. There batteries will be
heavy for ships Of 1900 tons displacement.
The third vessel is designed for duty in
the tropics and has a greater draft than
the twin gunboats. Her general design
differs from them also, but the machinery
power and batteries are the same.
All three vessels are expected to make
about fourteen knots an hour. The con-
tract calls for their completion IN two
years. Naval Construction Woodward
will be the inspector at Newport News.

A HORRIBLE DEATH.
MANY MINERS ENTOMBED IN THE
CRYsTAL RIDGE MINE.

Special TO The News.

fIAzELToE, PA, Dec. 6.--At late hour
last night Hro started In the Crystal
Ridge mine, operated by Pardee IL Co.
This mine was on fire a few months ago,
and the entire opening had been retim
bered at great cost
When the fire started, the pump boy,
who looks after the engines on the second
lift, was at the surface. Not until he at
tempted To go below again was the fire
discovered, and then the flames had
climbed within few feet OF the mouth OF
tho opening.
The entire town was soon rus ling to the
scene. There were number OF men in
the mine working In the different cham
bers. They might be there all night with
out knowing that the slope was on fire,
but there were fears OF "a cave in which
would change tho air current and carry
the smoke toward them or shut of eecape
entirely.
The widest excitement prevailed and
while hundreds OF men stood ready and
willing to risk their lives, nothing could
be done at the time.
The entire slope from foot to mouth is
mass OF flames, which are now shooting
high above the surface. The breaker and
adjoining building are in great danger OF
being destroyed.
rescue party entered the Cranberry
mine, which has a subterranean connec-
tion with the Crystal Ridge, but at mid :
night no encouraging news had been re-
ceived from them. There are also fourteen
mules at the bottom, and they must
perish.
The city fire department has been called
out, and an engine and hose sent to the
scene. They are now trying to save the
breaker and adjoining buildings. Water
in large quantities is not obtainable.
The timbers are already giving signs Of
falling and a cavern must follow. The
damage already done will exceed $50, 200,
and there is strong possibility of its
being trebled.
1t is supposed that the fire originated in
the pump house. 1t is possible, however,
for it to have been caused by an explosion,
and in this event the gangway must al
ready be choaked up, leaving no hope of
getting the men out alive. Four en-
tonmbed miners were rescued this morn
ing, but the collieries are doomed aud oil
the miners now in the shafts.

a Woman Says She Had His Check for a
Large Amount and He Took IL Away.

Special TO The News
NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-George j. Gould is
the defendant in an action brought by
Mrs. Zella Nicolaus to recover $4,000.
The cause OF the action is but dimly
disclosed by the papers which were yes
terday filed in the superior court. Upon
the petition of Mrs. Zella Nicolaus
Judge McAdam yesterday appointed
Albert Ruhman guardian ad Item of
Zella Nicolaus in the action she has
brought against Gould. The papers in
the case were presented to Judge McAdam
by Lawyers Howe & Hummel, who repre-
sent Mrs. Nicolaus.
Mrs. Nicolaus was IS years of age on
May 2S last. She says in her petition, on
which the order appointing the guardian
was granted, that in March last she was
the owner of paper or order for the pay
ment of money-a check made by George
J.Gould for 10000, signed by Mr.. Gould,
which was of the value OF $4,000.
She states that while she was possessed
of this check Gould wrongfully obtained
it and appropriated it to his own use.
Hence she had been damaged to the extent
of $4,000. She therefore asks leave of the
court to bring an action against Mr..
Gould for the recovering OF the check or
its value.
Lawyer A. II. H.Hummel, when Questioned
by reporter OF The Press last night at his
home, 217 East Seventeenth street,
as to the nature of the suit against Mr..
Gould, admitted that it has sensational
features, but declined, at the present
time, to make known the real contents OF
the complaint.
at would not be fair either to my
client or to Mr.. Could" said the little
lawyer, "to make public the contents OF
these papers before they have
been served and before Mr.
Gould has had chance OF making an an
swer to the allegations made against
him. When Mr.. Gould or his attorney
accepts service OF the complaint in the
case I may be able to discusss the true
charcter OF the suit, but shall not be able
to do so until then"
Mr.. Gould was not al his Office when
the reporter called there. IL was stated
then that he had heard nothing about the
suit before going home. AT tho Office
the opinion was freely expressed that the
action was brought by one OF number Of
blackmaiers and adventures, with whom
1t is said Mr.. Gould Is constantly pestored.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.--Secretary of War
Lamont received from the attorney general
yesterday an official opinion on the ques-
tion whether Gen. ID. Il. Sickles, member
of congress from the state of New York,
could be borne on the rolls and draw pay
as United States retired army officer and
as member of congress of the United
States at the same time.
The attorney general quotes an opinion
of the court OF appeals of the state Of
New York to the effect that he
can. He also quotes the opinion OF the
United States supreme court in the Adam
Badeau case, where General Badeau, as .
retired army officer and also consul general
to China, drew the salaries of both posi-
tions without violation of the statutes.
The case OF General Rosecrans, who oc-
cupied the Office of register of the treas
ury and at the same time was major gem
eral on the retired list of the United
States army and drew the salary attached
to both places, is also mentioned as q case
IN point.
Without expressing any opinion on
tie sabiect the attorney general con-
teats himself with bringing the
cases mentioned TO the attention OF
tae secretary OF war and leaves the Sickles
case where II has been-undecided and
undetermined,-since General Sickles was
fist elected member OF the house Of
representatives.

BosToN, Dec. 6. = Tho Massachusetts
Temperance home at Lynn is without a
superintendent, and a shorthand institute
at the South end Is without teacher.
Such is the result of one of the vagaries
of love.
Robert Scott, the temperance home su-
perintendent, is close to the three-score
mark in life; Fannie E. wiggin-or
Emma F. Wiggin, as you choose-the
shorthand teacher, will in less than two
years pass the two-score mark.
They loved, and were happy until
about week ago, when burly deputy
sheriff handed paper to the superin-
tendent which was demand for him to
appear and show why divorce should
not be granted his wife. In that paper
the name Of the shorthand teacher was
given as correspondent.
II seems that Miss Wiggin had another
aged admirer, according to The Herald,
and when he found himself supplanted he
sent anonymous letters to Mrs. Scott which
have resulted in suit for diverse. Scott
and Miss Wiggin have both disappeared,
but whether they went together or not
can't be learned.
