Gold and Precious Gems often Used
IN Their Decoration.
81 can asure you that you have not
been misinformed as to gold and prec-
ious gems being used to decorate
dogs collars" said one of the best
known dealers in such articles to q
New York News reporter "but the
craze is far more prevalent in France,
Russia and England than it is here.
"Not many weeks ago l supplied TO
the special order Of an English lady
dog collar that cost so guineas. 1t was
chain collar Of silver and gold links
alternately, and with a gold bell to
hang In front. French ladies' are very
fond Of watch dog collars, n small gold
watch being let into the front of the
collar, and I have made several of
! these. But In scores of cases supply
beautifully made collars with name
plates Of solid gold, and often enough
with gold bosses as well. Nearly all
the collars Of this class are intended
for carriage dogs and drawing-room
poodles, and In most cases the dogs
do not belong to men, though the lat
ter order and pay for the collars as
presents.
IA fashion has lately had great vo-
que in France of putting tiny bracelets
round the forelegs Of poodles, and I
have seen even diamonds set into
these circlets. At the same time, in
my own stock, have lots of dog col
lars ranging in price from SIS to 800.
The most remarkable collar have
ever made was to the order of a gen.
tleman from South Africa. 1t consist
ed Of nuggets Of gold, and an uncut
diamond, which he supplied, and 1t
was given to well-known lady us q

Leadville, Colo, Sept. 2S.-The worst
accident that ever occurred In this
camp happened about 1 o'clock this
afternoon ut the Belgian mine, result
Ing In the death Of six miners and the
injury of four others. The dead are:
j. II. Gray, John Hamill, Clark Nc
Ginniss, John Beggs, Chris Phillips,
aud Ed Kuhn. The injured are j. H.
Reynolds, James Baxter, Alex Parker,
and John Waters.
The men were working In drift and
slope about ten feet above the lower
levels, where fifty pounds of powder
liad been stored. According to Supt.
Doddridge, he had positively forbid
lien more than five pounds Of powder
IL be taken into the mine ut one time,
but 1t Is known that fifty pounds was
In the slope at the time. and five or ten
pounds of this was In an oil can warm
Ing with lighted snuffs under 1t. This,
1t seems. is the usual method of warm
Ing powder. In some manner 1t eX-
ploded, and the cOncussion set off the
remaining powder. The terrific shock
caused dirt to block the slope, and the
men could not get out, and six of
them slowly smothered to death. As
many volunteers us could be put to
work began digging through the mass
Of dirt. and In an hour had broken
through and discovered the miners ly-
ing along the two drifts. There were
five In what is known as the Belgian
drift, all dead, and four In the other,
three Of whom were alive.
The dead and injured were rapidly
taken to the surface, and the injured
were removed to tho hospital. II is
thought that all of the injured men
will recover. The men killed. so far
AZ known. were all single. Crowds Of
people visited the mOrgue to view the
remains, and the crush was such that
the doors had to lie locked and only
twenty-five people admitted at Il time

an increase in the appolticnment of -
cents per capita over the apportion-
ment Of 1894, which was S2.75. This
increase is very gratifying in the face
of the large amount expended by the
state for free text books and the fact
that In many counties there is an in
crease repOrted In the attendance Of
pupils Of ~ per cent. also due to the
,lse of free text hooks. 1t seems evil
dent that some parents must have de-
clincd 10 send their children To school
because of tho cost of books. The rc.
turns now In the hands OF Supt. Pen
dclgast show that the enrolment OF
the schools In the state is about on1t;,-

Joseph Thomson, the famous ex-
plorer Of Africa, who died the other
day in London, was only thirty-seven
years old. He was the son of William
homson, Of Gatelawbridge Quarrrics,
Thornhill, Dumfricsshire, and was
born at Pentpont on Feb. IA, 1858.
He obtained his early education. as so
many eminent Scotchmen have done,
in the parish school Of his native
place, from which he went to the Uni
versity of Edinburgh. There q pre-.
dilection for natural history which he
had early displayed led him to enter
the science classes, in several of which
lie gained honOrs, carrying off the gold
medal in geology and zoology. He
went to Africa for the first time in
1873. Among his best known books
are Through Nasal Land" and "l.ife

Had For Durrant.

San Francisco, Sept. 2S.-The key
stone In the arch of Durrant's defense
crumbled and fell to-day. The witness
upon whom the attorneys for the de-
fense depended most to sustain their
contention that Drrrant was attending
q lecture at Cooper Medical college at
the hour when Blanche Lamont was
murdered gave disappointing testi-
mony. Instead of testifying that Dur
rant was present ut the lecture, us At
torney Duprey said Dr. Cheney would
do, the doctor said he had no recollec-
tiOn Of seeing the young medical stu
dent. To offset this reverse the de-
fensc gained only one point, the admls-
sion as an exhibit of the roll cali book
at the college, In which Durrant was
recorded as present at the lecture CIV
en- on the afternoon Of April 3. The
prosecution holds the roll call book in
little esteem from the f1ct that 1t will
place witnesses on the stand to prove
that Durrant frequently asked bis
classmates to answer to his name
when he was absent, and that they
compiled with his request.
The crush In the corridors Mt the en-
trance to the court was greater tO-day
than upon any other day since the

for admission. while the sheriff and
score Of deputies struggled as desper-i
ately to keep the crowd back. At
times the confusion outside was SO
great that the proceedings Of the court
were interrupted. At length Judge
Murphy summoned the sheriff and or
dered him to clear the corridors. II
