FELL FIFTY FEET.
Frightful Accident at the
Taylor Mine.
William GiIIen Drops From Top to
Bottom of the Shaft as
Blast Explodes.

The steamer from Sacramento brought
to this city last night the manned and shat
tered body of miner who had miracu-
lons escape from death at the Taylor mine
in Ell Dorado County.
The injured man was William Gillen, an
overseer who had worked in the mine for
years. He was about to descend into the
shaft Thursday morning, and took his
place in the bucket over the pit that
yawned to a depth Of fifty feet below him.
The windlass had turned twice, when
with a loud snap the cable parted and
bucket and occupant fell to the bottom,
striking several projections in their de-
scent.
At the moment the rope broke a charge
of giant powder exploded in the mine and
filled the shaft with suffocating smoke.
A tackle was hastily rigged, and one of
Gillen's friends descended 70 the spot,
where he lay apparently dead. He was
hosted to the surface and slowly revived.
His left arm and three ribs were broken
aud he was unable to see. 1t was believed
that he was blinded by the exp, Osion of
the powder, which had burned his head
! and face until his features were unTecog-
niZable.
| GilIen's wife was among the first to arrive
at the mouth of the mine after the acci-
dent She at once decided to take the
sufferer to the city in order that he might
| have the best medical service in the State.
They set out for Sacramento in an old
wagon and arrived there yesterday morn
| ing. AS no trains were running they were
! obliged TO take the boat which reach ed
this city at IL 80 O'clock. A patrol wagon
was procured from the old City Hall and
Gillen was conveyed to the French Hos
pital. The surgeons there think that his
recovery from the effects of the accident
| and the long ride is very doubtful.

A COINCIDENCE.
The Similarity of Deaths for Two
Years.

The Similarity of Deaths for Two
Years.
The annual report of the Board Of Health
has been partially compiled and the figures
OF the total number of deaths show re-
markable coincidence. During the year
1928 the total number of deaths were
6061 The report Of Bookkeeper Lawlor
shows the number of deaths for the
year iS93-94 to be COCO or ouly one less
death. In all the statistics of the Board of
Health there is no such close appr0xima-
ton of figures in the recording of the death
rate. OF the total number for the last
year 1869 were males and 2291 females. AS
far as nationality is concerned 5613 were
Caucasians, AT Mongolians and 90 Afri-
cans.
OF these 1888 died in public institutions,
22S were the result of casualties, 122 COM
mitted suicide and 26 were the result of
homicdes. The percentage of deaths, ac-
cording to an estimate OF a population OF
$50, 900. is 1886 Der cent.
One of this chief features of the report is
the showing of the remarkable falling off
of diphtheria and scarlalina. In 1928
there were 153 cases of diphtheria; in
1S93-94. 3S. or lis less; in 1892 SO there
were Ill cases of scarlatina, in 1S93-94 only
IA. or 81 less. This is considered by the
health officer as good sign of the cleanli-
ness of the city. Among the principal
causes of death during the year were the
following: Apoplexy 196. alcoholism 81,
brain disease sc, Brights disease 130.
bronchitis $50. cancer 238. casualties 22S.

Twenty-Five Dollars for Selling
Drinks From July to the
Close of the Show.

The Collector of Internal Revenue and
several deputies visited the Midwinter
Fair yesterday and stirred up a veritable
hornets nest among the exhibitors and
concessionaires who sell liquor at their
booths. The fiscal year opens to-day and
all dealers in liquors, those who are at the
fair included. must pay the special
revenue tax for one year or close their
places. The tax amounts to S25, and
Uncle Sam being no respecter of persons,
requires payment invariably in advance
and never allows discount for cash.
There are from thirty to fifty conces-
sionaires who sell liquor and are obliged
to pay this tax. They have paid for the
year that has just closed, and the grumb-
ling in many tongues that assailed the ears
of the collectors when they called for the
money at the opening of the fair still lin
gers in their memories. Many OF the con-
cessionaires will leave the city, provden ce
