Clearing London Streets of Snow.
London City Press.
After heavy snow storm dur
ing the night the city man comes
to his place Of business and finds
that in the principal thOrOughfares
nearly all traces Of the snow have
disappeared. The preparations for
the coming winter are begun early
in the autumn. For extra labor
required reliance has to be placed
on the unemployed" Work is
found each winter for some 1000 or
1900 men out Of employment.
Snow first made its appearance
in London late on Tuesday night
and it continued to fall until 6
o'clock on Wednesday morning.
Some 200 extra men were taken on,
and by 10 or II o'clock the city
streets were cleared, the snow be-
ing carried away, and, for the
most part, shot over the
bridges into the Thames. There
was heavier fall on Wednesday
night, beginning about 6 o'clock
and continuing, with more or less
severity, throughout the night.
Men we're at work all night sailing
and clearing the streets for traffic,
while early on Thursday morning
some 300 unemployed men were
engaged to help in the work of
clearance. On Thursday night and
on Friday hrtWppO zoo and 600

Racing for Life in a Mine.

Seattle POst-InteIigencer.
David M. Griffith, a miner, had
narrow escape from being crushed
to death while at work in the
Franklin mine last Thursday, but
the accident fortunately resulted
in nothing more serious than a
broken leg and a terrible fright.
Griffith was at work on slope
when pieces of coal weighing about
1900 pounds became detached
above him and started down the
slope towards Griffith, whose only
escape lay in running down the
slope ahead of the lump of coal.
1t soon became race for life, with
the coal increasing it's speed at
every bound and adding to the
tArrOrs of the flying Griffith. Half
way down the slope the speed at
which Griffith was going eXtin-
guished the lamp in his hat and
left him in the dark.
He continued his fight, in which
lay his only safety, and, after
running for what seemed an age,
he stumbled on one of the side
beams and fell, expecting to be in
stantly crushed to death. The coal
came on, and, by miracle, was
checked by the timber, but in
jamming caught one Of poor
Griffith's legs against the timber,
breaking the bone in two places.
Help soon came down to the man,
and he was carried out and cared
for. Griffith says it was the mar
rOwest escape from death he ever
had.

VIOLETS.

The woodbird calls, the shadows fec,
The sun comes golden from the sea;
Across the meadow as | stray
For you take the fern fringed way,
To gather violcts wet with dew
Which only bloom, my love, for you
For you, my love, alone for you!
The grasses bend, the dewdrops shine,
The hawthorn's breath is sweet as wine;
The soft wind steals with presence sweet
To fling white petals at my feet
And lit the leaves from viOlcts blue,
Hidden TO wait, my love, for you
For you, my love, alone for you!
Glue as your eyes, which , carts beguile,
Their faint perfume swC9 as your smi4c,
/ gather them, with fcrvent prayer
That they my passion may declare;
Their petals pale, tear stained with dew,
May tell how live but for you
For you, my i5ve, alone for you!

TO REVOKE ONE LICENSE.
Superintendent Powell Will File Re-
port with the Mayor To-Day.

Yesterday Superintendent Powell was busy
preparing his report to Mayor Denny in
regard to the Sunday violation Of the sa-
loon law. The quarantine took his attention
so much of the day that he did not get his
report completed, but will do so to-day and
give it to the Mayor. It is unoficially
known that he will report at least one
case with a recommendation that the license
be revoked, and probably as many as four
or five cases. Last night ne nad not gone
over all the various reports sufficiently to
know what his recommendations would be.
While the saloon keepers generally OBJ
served the law last Sunday. there were

was not sufficient TO convict them, if the

Court, but ii was sufficient to convince the
officers in several cases that the law was
being violated. 1t is very probable that the
Mayor will revoke at least one license to-
day or tomorrow.
