STRAY BOVINES.

Much Damage.

Enter tho Premises of p. +. Carroll and 10
Much Damage.
Notwithstanding all that has been
said In regard to the number of cattle
which roam at large about our princi-
pal streets. owners of the animals take
no pains to keep them shut up. and the
damage done by them Is considerable.
One of the latest victims to this lack
of care is p. f. Carroll, of Scott street.
When Mr.. Carroll arose yesterday
morning he found several stray cows on
his premises, who seemed to be enjoying
themselves on his young fruit trees.
Mr.. Carroll was very angry at the oc-
currence and at once set out for the
pound and soon had a COW and heifer
within its portals. He wanted Mr..
Wills to collect damages to the amount
Of $40 from the owners when they came
to release their property. This is some
thing that Mr. Wills has no power to
do and he told Mr.. Carroll, saying If he
wanted damages he would have to
bring suit against the owners. There
was some talk In regard to the right of
Mr.. Carroll to impOund the animals as
they were not in the limits defined by
the ordinance. He would have been
right had the cows been taken from the
public streets. but as they were caught
on his property he was justified in TAX
ing them. The limits set down by The
ordinance are: The city limits on the
north and east, Eight avenue on the
south and the Delaware and Hudson on
the west.

SEVERAL ACCIDENTS.
Ono Man May Lose His Sight-Under
q Fall OF Coal.

f0I OF s.Oui.
The Delaware and Hudson Wilson
Creek mines was the scene of two very
distressing accidents yesterday. The
most serious accident occurred to
George and william T. Dennis, who
We're working In a heading together,
and engaged in blasting breast or
rock. They had drilled hole in the
rock preparatory to putting In STICK
of giant powder. The hole proved to
be too small, however, and they trled
to force 1t in. employing Jumper ana
sledge. At the first blow OF the sledge
the powder exploded and the rock was
blown INTO small bits. The force OF
the explosion sent both men backward
with great force. Neither man could
see after the explosion, their Nights
being put out, and they were also par
TALLY blinded by the flame. They both
started to crawl out as best they could.
George reached the next chamberwhere
ne Informed the men working there.
When they reached the scene william
could not be found. but on reaching the
mouth of the mine he was there, having
met some men who helped out.
The cOmpany's ambulance was sum-
moned and the unfortunate men
brought to this city. George. who was
the less seriously hurt. was taken to his
home, and William to the hospital. AT
the hospital DR.. +. f. Jenkins attended
to William. His injuries were very
serious. The jumper hit him in the ell
bow at the explosion and badly
smashed 1t. 1t Is feared that the
arm may have to come off. Everything
possible. however. to save the arm Is
being done. At his home. in Battles
alley. DR.. A. #. Gillis dressed the
wounds of George. His face was also
badly mangled by the pieces of rock.
His eyes are not hurt. while william
may lose his sight.
william Walsh Injured.
In the afternoon another accident oc-
cured in the same mine. William Walsh.
a miner, fired blast in his chamber
and soon afterward returned. He had
hardly entered than a huge mass or
coal fell from the roof upon him. The
coal had been loosened by the blast.
and without any warning fell. crushing
Mr.. Walsh to the ground.
The mass of coal which had fallen was
very great, and 1t was with much diff
Guilty that the unfortunate man was
loosened by his companions. He was
badly hurt about the hip, and. after
being carried to the surface, was taken
to his home and a physician sum
moned. DR.. Gillis responded and made
him as comfortable as possible. 1t Is
feared that he may be hurt internally.
Agent at the Hospital.
One of the cases at the hospital is that
of clothes wringer agent, who had
the misfortune to break his leg the 9TH
err night. The agent was on Fallbrook
street. where. with a companion. he
was delivering wringers. In turning
around the wagon ran up steep bank
and was overturned. AS it went over

The Crystal Lake Water company are
making determined efforts to have the

THIRD YEAR.

On October 2, 1893, the DAILY GRAPHIC first made it's appearance, and today it starts upon the third year of it's existence. The two years through which it has just passed have been remarkably dull ones the country over, and it has not made the progress anticipated, either as to circulation or advertis- ing patronage This is neither the fault of the management nor lack of appreciation on the part of the pub- lie, to a great extent, we believe, but has been due to the prevailing dull times. Often, through some stroke of enterprise, or through efforts to build up the circulation and conse- quentIy the advertising patronage by issuing a better paper than it's patronage justified, the DAILY GRAPHIC has been run at loss, and it's efforts have resulted in failures. But cotton is now nine cents a pound instead of five, the farmer has raised his own "hog and hom- inyp and is in a good financial con- dition, the merchant is doirg a rush ing business, and the GRAPHIC is de- termined to keep up with the pro-  cesssion. It has just put in steam with which to run its presses and machinery, and some time this month will begin receiving Q com plete telegraphie service daily,which will enable it to give the people of this section the news of the world eighteen hours ahead of any other paper.
 Nor is the farmer and laborer to be ignored Next week the WEEKLY GRAPHIC will be merged into semi weekly and will be issued every Wednesday and Saturday mornings. This change, besides giving the subscriber more news, will give it to him as it occurs and not, as is now often necessarily the case, after 1t is stale. The price of subscription will remain the same-$1. 30 year and with these extra inducements, we will expect every person in this part of the country to be a constant reader of the GRAPHIC.
 The alert business man will be quick to recognize this opportunity of bringing his goods before the public, and should at once contract for advertising space. Farmers and laborers are close readers of the newspapers they get, and bargains or special inducements when adver- tised never escape their attention.
