Adjusted.

SING SING, n. Y, April 3-James
w. Hamilton, coIored, an ex-preacher,
convicted of wife murder, died in the
electric chair today. The death war
rant was read by Warden Brown in
the condemned mans cell last night
Hamilton sat on the bed and showed
some signs of emotion.
When the document was read, Car
lyle w Harris, who occupied cell No.
s, which is the second cell from Halnil-
toms, was able to hear the reading Of
the warrant. He showed no signs of
being affected by what has been going
on so near him, and what may be re-
peated in his case in few weeks hence.
Hamilton shook hands with Warden
Brown when the reading finished and
said goodbye. He talked with Father
Creeden until II O'Clock and then went
to bed. DIR. Irvine, prison physician,
who saw him at that time, said he
showed no signs of breaking down, and
it was evident that religious enthusiasm
would keep him up till the fated mo-
ment. Hamilton slept until 8 this
morning. He was visited by Fathers
Wallace and Creeden and they re-
mained with him all morning.

-Four Cinnamon and three Japanese
arrived Oh the train from the south ON
Sunday evening. Owing to the delay
of the train, which did not reach here
until O'Clock, the Orientals were un-
able to make connection with the Cana
dian Pacific, and were compelled TO re-
main in New Whalcom over night,
The Empress Of India sailed for

100 feet below the present slope, and
900 feet west Of the present tunnel.
This is not only gratifying to the man
agement, who, however, were not sur
prised at the find as it was confidently
expected. The output is now about 200
tons daily and this will be increased.
The company has now a contract with
San Francisco parties for the delivery
of 5000 tons per month, and another
firm in the same city wish to arrange
for the delivery of an additional 1000
tons monthly.
The Blue Canyon company are some-
what reticent as to the mine, and
simply say that they are mining coal
for what there is in 1t, and are not
booming the property in order TO sell
stock. There is no stock to sell, each
stockholder being entirely satisfied with
his holdings and the future of the mine.
There is little doubt that in short
time the present output will be doubled
The demand is good, and as TO quality,
that has been established, by the most
severe test-the satisfaction given
those who have used il for various pur-
poses.
The bark Theobald arrived yesterday
for second cargo for San Francisco
and will begin loading on Thursday or
Friday, or as soon as the Alaska, which

Another Vein Struck and the Outlook
Excellent

Another Vein Struck and the Outlook
Excellent
The Blue Canyon Coal Company,
one of the important corporations oper-
ating in Whatcom county, Is steadily
Increasing It's output Of coal. This
property has been in the process of de-
velopment ever since the present COM
pany took hold of 1t, and 1t Is crafty
ing TO know that the efforts of the
company In this line are being re-
warded to the fullest degree. The ex-
cellent quality Of the coal has created a
market for 1t that Is rapidly extending,
and the orders being received are proof
of its merits.
The development Of the property has
been gradual, and the company has
pursued only conservative methods i'm
the working of the mine. A new vein,

A Daatardiv Dead .

Car No. SO, of which l.. Il. Patchen
is the motorman, had a narrow escape
from being derailed on the trestle be-
tween G. and | streets on Saturday
night. A piece Of timber ten feet long
and 2x6 inches In diameter was placed
across the track, evidently with the in
tention Of wrecking the car. Motor
man Patchen, however, saw the OBJ
struction in time TO prevent the derail-
ing Of the car. 1t was stopped and the
passengers who were in the ear at the
time, as well as the motorman and con-
ductor, were saved from what might
have resulted in sudden death No
motive " hatever can be assigned for
the deed, except that some miscreant
may have grudge against the motor
man. The conductor Of the car il
youth named Folsom, and the attempt
to wreck the ear is either due TO spite
against the motOrman, the company or
to unadulterated maliciOusness.

1t might occur to some that whole
evenings entertainment devoted to
quaint witty and humorous sayings

somewhat monotoH0us. To avoid this
Mr.. A. p. Burbank, who is associated
with Bill Nye, and whose genius in
poetic and dramatic recitation, has
never been excelled in this country, is
given liberal place on the program.
The combination of two such noted
artists of such widely different type,

The Attempted Train Wreck

PORTLAND, April 3-The latest de-
velopments in the attempted train
wreck ON the Southern Pacific, near
Roseburg, last Thursday night indicate
that Richardson is not so badly
wounded as first reported. He is still
at the hospital in this city, but is con-
stantly shadowed. Detectives are now
at the scene of the attempted wreck,
working on the theory that Richard
son and others planned the affair, with
the expectation of receiving large re-
ward from the railroad company. Some
arrests are expected soon.
