ARM BHDLY LHCERHTED
Charles Johnson Received a
g.. Very Painful Injury at the
Paper Mill THE
Morning..

Charles Johnson, one Of the paper
makers in the Hennepin Paper mill,
was the victim OF Il painful accident
at about Z O'Clock Monday morning.
While at work around the machines
his arm was caught between two Of
the dry rolls and the flesh and mus
cles Of his arm from his shoulder to
his elbow was torn loose exposing
the bone.
The accident was caused by Mr..
johnson surprising that that part
of the machinery was not in motion.
He had been at work on this ma
chine doing some repair, while it
was shut down Sunday, and for
got that he had replaced the belt
which runs it after he was through.
The steam had not been turned ON
to the rolls, and they were not under
full Roadway. and bad such been the
case Mr.. Johnson would have with
out doubt. lost his arm, and been
terribly burned, with the possibility
of losing his life.
He was taken to the hospital, and
DR.. Roberts dressed the injured limb.
1t will be some time before he will be
able to work again, and it is doubt
full If he ever regains che full power OF
his arm.
Mr.. johnson came here about three
months ago from Appleton, Wis.
having been at work in a paper mill
there which was shut down on ac-
count of lack of water in the Fox
river, which was used for power pur
poses. His family are still at that
place. as he contemplate returning
soon. The mills at that place are
putting in steam power. and he was
offered his former situation.
No blame can be attached to the
Hcnnepin Mill company, and they
greatly regret the accident. for Mr..
johnson was a very Industrious and
faithful employee.

CITIZENS MASS MEETING Held at Stoberts' Hall, North
 Birmingham, TO DISCUSS THE PROPOSAL Of the Birmingham Railway and Electric Company to Extend the Nineteenth
 Street Electric Car Line.

About thirty representative citizens of North Birmingham met at Stobert's hail. on Twenty-first avenue and Nineteenth street, to discuss the extension of the North and South Highlands electric car line from Jonesville to that place. Mr. Robert s. Jemison, general manager of the Birmingham Railway and Electric company, was present.
 MT. Rube Lewis called the meeting to order, stated it's purpose and introduced MT Jemison, who in few words laid out a proposition whereby the road could be built, and which, in his opinion, would be ordered by the directors of the company if the people of North Birmingham saw fit to take it up. The proposition was in substance as follows:
 The proposed extension would cost about $i000. sixteen minutes service would be given from a. m. to F D. m, and the cars would run from Twenty-first avenue and Nineteenth street to Jones' vile, thence to'the South Highlands. The citizens of North Birmingham would be required to lend the Birmingham Rail- way and Electric company the necessary funds to build the line, same to be re- turned to the lenders as it was taken in by the line, without interest. The lenders were to be furnished car tickets at $4 per hundred, to be used by them or sold as they saw fit, and their accounts to be credited with all tickets received. Those making the loan would be called on for d pro rata of same as soon as work was be- gun and the entire amount to be paid as needed
 Mr. Jemison then made figures showing that by liberal estimate the road could be put in operation in sixty days, not more than ninety at the outside, and as the money was earned by the road it would be prorated and returned.
 The question was asked of the speaker as to the tearing up of the macadamized road or whether this would be necessary, objections to the road bed being dis turbed having been raised. The speaker explained all this satisfactorily saying that the line could be built, if necessary without disturbing the driveway MT Lewis then stated that he favored the line, not because it would prove a convenience alone. but because it's com pletion meant an increase in valuation

were conjecturing as to where we would be at if another such an accident hap pened in a cup race. '
 Before the mishap the Defender had pressed to windward seventeen and a half miles and run eighteen miles with the wind astern spinnaker out, and had turned the second mark with Il minutes 35 seconds advantage over the Vigilant, Is minutes 21 seconds over Jubilee and 34 minutes 33 seconds over Volunteer. This was clearly a demonstration of. what the new boat is capable of. In the windward work the gain over Vigilant was ? minutes 29 seconds and in the run minutes seconds. The wind was about fourteen knots an hour at the start, dropping to ten knots at the first turn and increasing during the run to eigh- teen knots, after which rate k was blow ing when the gaff gave away. The boat was close hauled at the time and there was a lumpy sea, which may have had something to do with carrying away the gaff. After the Defender withdrew the Vigilant sailed home an easy winner.

Her New Tangled Hollow Calf Broke and
 She Had to Take Line From Tug.
 Newport, Aug. 1.-Defender lost her first race today, and great was the pity of it, for she had walked away from her three competitors and was coming home when a newfangled gaff at the top of her mainsail broke, and, most inglorious- ly, the aspirant for cup honors was obliged to take a. line from a common everyday tug, and, retiring from the race, allowed the Vigi1ant to win. The $500 cup offered by Ogden Goelet was the prize for which the syndicate boat was racing, but the fair fame of a craft that seeks international honors was at stake. Fitted against her were her persistent antagonists, George J. Goulds Vigilant, the preserver of the American cup in 1S93 and Gen. Charles J. Paines un- known Jubilee, built fora cup defender in 1893, but not chosen, and also J. Nal com Forbes successful cup defender of 1887, the Volunteer.

ing Information From Their Columns
 Capt. Paul Calame has received his Paris papers giving an account of the alliance formed between France and Russia. The articles of the alliance re- quire each nation to assist the other in case of war. If Germany declares war on France, for instance. Russia must at once rally to the assistance of France. The alliance of these two great powers is unconditional The nation that strikes a blow at one strikes also the other In case of war each nation must rally to the assistance of the other without any pre- limnary negotiations. No doubt France has made this alliance as the first step toward demanding of Germany the resto- ration of Alsace and Lorraine. France will never rest until she recovers her lost territory.
