Sunset Revival,

The Rev. J. w. Daniel preached
last night on the subject of dane
ing, at the Sunset Baptist church,
and instead of checking as some
feared, he only increased the re-
vival spirit. A dozen asked for
prayer and two protested CONVEX

from any thing sensational that
many Of those who flock to such
meetings do not attend, but the
congregations are we'll sustained.
Mr.. Daniel desires to meet all
the church members at the church
at 3 80 this afternoon. He breaches

ACCIDENTALLY KILLED.
O0LORED LABORER EDWARDS WAS
BLASTING.
The Fuse Burned Too Slowly-He
STOPPED Over to See and Was
Mangled by Flying Rock.

Wiley Edwards, colored laborer
and Obj job man, met his death in
a peculiar manner this morning at
10 minutes to 9 o'clock, on the
premises of the new residence Of
Col. G. Bedell Moore, corner West
French Place and Howard street.
He had been engaged by another
colored man, T. Mills, who had
charge of the digging of a cess
pool in the yard, to assist him.
They had worked down about two
feet and then the surface rock
was found to be so hard as to
require blasting. They had fired of
one blast, and had drilled another
and placed it, and had then lighted
the fuse, and retired a distance
away to await the explosion. The
fuse did not burn rapidly and Ed
wards started forward to see what
was the matter. Mills told him to
wait but he said he knew all about
it and got down in the hole. After
moving some Of the boards placed
over the blast, to keep the rocks
from flying far, and leaned over
the blast. 1t exploded just then
and he was thrown back against
the sides of the hole. Mills cried
for help and ran to him and car
ried him out Of the hole and laid
him in the shade under a tree. He
was bleeding and very much
mangled about the head and
shoulders, though was yet alive.
He lived only about thirty
seconds, however, and then Mills
found that life was extinct.
He did not speak after the
explosion. A terrible wound
was knocked in his forehead, be-
tween his eyes, the bridge of his
nose was broken, and large hole
was made in his right temple. His
arms and chest were also very
much torn and wounded.
Mills, as soon as the body was
taken from the hole, had assist.

The Modern Great Power.

One good item Of News which comes
from the East is that the power which,
through the ages has been running to
waste over the brink of Niagara, has
begun 10 be utilized. Three turbines
bave been made to work successfully
and $500 horse power has been success
fully utilized. This, Of course, will be
followed by other works of the same
kind, and very possibly by :he end of
another year people ~ill see cansl boats
run from Buffalo to Albany by this same
magnificent river, which has been the
astonishment and admiration Of white
men since 1t was first discovered !;
which was the astonishment and adini-
ration OF the sayages through all the
ages of the past. The account says the
water was pnt in under head of sixty
five feet, "the greatest that any wheels
have been operated under.u We think
there is a great mistake about that.
Possib bly, what it means is that no
wheels were never subjected to SO much
water under such pressure. But if We
mistake not, ths turbines down in the
Comstock have been run under 1900.
foot pressure for several years, and
wheels with more than 65-foot heads
are common all over California. There
must be some mistake in the deserip-
ton, but the fact remains that part of
theipower of Niagara has been stolen and
made the servant of mankind. A glance
at the map and all the rivers which find
their way to the sea throughout cur
country awakens in a moment the
that if this has been made pos
sibe at Niagara, then thousand other
rivers await to be harnessed and 10 be
utilized for mans good. The Genesee
has power enongh to turn little world;
SO has the Ohio; the upper Mississippi
has more. Indeed, there are no end of
the streams to be put to work. Those
that flow down out of the Allegheny
and Blne Ridge ought to be able to
light and heat all the cities, and to sup
ply power to all the factories and all the
mills that this country can ever find em-
for. Very possibly, too, from
the same source the canals and railroads
in this country will in little whils, be
run. Salt Lake Tribune.

There is trouble between the mine
overs and miners in Cripple Creek.
The mine owners gave notice that they
would demand ten, instead of eight
hour shifts, after February lst, at the
same wages, and The Miners Union has
refused to acceed to the demand. Post
ers have been sent out by the Union
warning miners TO keep away from
Cripple Creek. The mine manager who
is accused of having started the move
to increase the hours, was caught last
Monday, while accompanied by two
armed body guards, the three disarned
and the manager forced to get down gu
bis knees and swear that he would leave
the camp and never return. A dozen
men have been arrested, charged with
being the lerders of this attempt at mob
rule. Whatever claims the miners may
have, they will find that violating the
law is very foolish way to try to main
tain their rights. Cripple Greek is a
great gold producing district and the
mine.owners cannot give as reason
for cutting wages the low price of silver.
The strike there will have the effect Of
soaring away capital which was flowing
into that district very rapidly.

Whenever cave is newly discovered
in New Mexico or Arizona the fnder's
first hope is that he has unearthed an
old Spanish or Mexican mine, but this
seldom or never has proved to be the
case Generally these holes in the
mountains are natural caves in lime
stone or sandstone formations, but'
sometimes they lie between walls Of
hard rock, which perhaps contain
mineral deposits, indicating that the
primitive civilized Indians may have
dug Their. way in following soft
streak in search of tale to use in pot
terry making, with no thought for
precious metals. Stalactites, snowy
white, hang from their roofs, and where
mineral water has percolated these
crvstal llizations take on gorgeous me-
tallic hues. Human bones are some
times found in these caves nnd other
evidences Of human work or former
occupancy. The Coffee cave and Rob
insons cave ,ein the Black range, in
southern New Mexico, have been ex-
plored for several hundred feet, and
other large caves in that region remain

Aerial Roadways.

At the San Andreas de la Sierra
mines, in Durango, Mexico, there is an
aerial ropsway, furnished by the Vul-
can Iron Works, Of San Francisco, Cali
fornia, which is one OF the boldest struc-
sfures of its kind attempted thus far.
The. line is Is, ,5l7 feet, not being 20 re-
markable in that respect, but the incIi-
nation IL over 800 feet between snp-
ports. This ropsway was pat in 10 carry
wood and charcoal to the mill. Agreat
saving is made by this system, as the
material had to be packed over very
circuitous route on mule back. The
country oyer which it travels is exceed
iDgIy rough, and it crosses gorRes 800
feet deep. Al one place the grade is at
an angle of 4s0. The Vulcan system Of
ropeway consists mainly of an endless
wire rope supported atconvenient inter-
walls on erooved sheaves, which are ele-
vased on supporting structures, the
height and construction of which will
vary with the character of the ground !;
and passing around large grip wheels at
ends Of line. Carriers Of suitable shape
to hold the material to be transported.
The ideal ropeway is one with sufficient
grade to run by gravity, the loaded
buckets pulling the empty ones back to
the base of supplies. In any case, how
ever, the power required to operate a
very long ropeway is very small, for the
friction is low The surplus power gen.
Grated on gravity lines is taken up by
friction brakes at the terminals, which
are automatic in their action. -Engin-
