Today Is Opening Day.

Bright and early this morning the
doors of the New York Novelty Hard
ware Store were thrown open, and the
mammoth stock of light hardware and
novelties was ready for inspection by
the public. This new business venture
in town has cheerful appearance about
it, and the goods are displayed so well
that one is certain when he sees the
place that it is under the management
of~an experienced man. The propre-
tor, A. Wolf, has been engaged in this
line of trade since boyhood, and that he
has the hardware business down to fine
points may be seen in the figures at
which he sells the goods. Miners and
mechanics never had better chance to
secure for small sum the many little
necessary articles which they require.
The store is in Cutters building, 70 Cen
tire street, and will be open every even
ing until o'clock.

Ten Men Have Narrow Escape.

Very fortunate it was on Tuesday
morning that the safety knives of the
Empire shaft, Wilkesbarre, did their
work WELL or ten men would have been
killed. As it was, four were quite badly
injured and six slightly. Engineer
David Halliday was in charge when the
morning shift went to work Several
loads of men had gone down on the
carriage. AT Gas ten men in charge of
Contractor Richard Roderick, got on
and gave the signal to lower. They had
not gone down 100 of the $50 feet, when
Engineer Halliday lost control of the en-
gine, and the carriage dashed down
ward at terrific speed, but the knives
closed in on the guides and in measure
checked the speed of the falling car
riage. 1t was all over in a second or
two and the carriage dashed down on
the dump at the bottom of the shaft and
hurled the ten men on it in all drec-
tions
Four were badly hurt. They are
Michael Muscavage, William Casper,
William Yotkavish aud the contractor,
Richard Roderck. All were bruised
and cut about the limbs and body and
are suffering severely from the shock
Tho other six were more or less cut and
bruised, but none of them seriously.
The breaker was idle in consequence
of the accident, as the officials did not
deem it safe to work the colliery until a
thorough examination had been made of
the carriages and machinery.

NEW CURE FOR CONSUMPTION.
Injection of Tubercular Serum Employ ed
by an italian Savant.

lnIecttOn or IuDercular serum Employee
by an Italian Savant.
new cure for consumption has been
reported to the state department by
United States Consul Chancellor at
Havre. He says the cure was first
brought to tho attention of the world
at a congress of physicians and scien-
fists at Bordeaux to consider the ques-
tion of combating consumption by vac
cination. Prof. Marigliano, an Italian
savant, read paper which attracted
much attention, claiming to have dis
covered an et1icacious process for the
treatment of consumption by the injec-
ton of tubercular serum, which, he
says, renders the subjects of this most
formidable disease immune.
The consul recalls the comparative
failures of other attempts to treat con-
sumption successfully, and says this
particular process is still in the expert
mental stage. The paper is open to
several objections, for Prof. Marigliano
gives no precise information as to his
process for obtaining the serum, which
can be had only from himself, his statis-
tics are incomplete and lacking con-
frmation and his infallible remedy can
not be yet regarded as an accomplished
fact

THE ELECTRIC ENGINE.
Likelihood That Grand Trunk VIII Adopt

Likelihood That Grand Trunk VIII Adopt
1t for the Port Huron Tunnel.
Passengers on Grand Trunk trains
may make the journey through the tun-
mel under the Detroit river at Port
Huron behind an electric locomotive,
according to information current in
electrical manufacturing circles. 1t is
to the effect that the conservative Can.
adian railway management is figuring
on an adoption of methods practically
the same as those in use in the Balti-
more g. Ohio tunnel under Baltimore.
A desire to avoid smoke and cinders
was among the causes which induced
the latter company to install electricity.
The Grand Trunk is forced to abandon
steam engines, so it is said, because of
their effect upon the tunnel structure.
The latter cut through the rock 10

amounting to 105 feet to the mile.
Specially constructed locomotives
weighing ninety-fve tons and having
eight drivers are used to haul trains
through.
In developing the energy needed to
handle long heavy trains it has been
found, it is stated, the excessive heat
and escaping steam from the engines

Legal Trials of a Suit Involving Some of
BIythe's Millions.
One of the biggest of the outside claims
against the Blythe estate has been compro-
missed for $4,000. 1t was the claim of the
estate of R. c. Mattingly, for 200, COM
missions on the sale of some of Blythe's
mining property.
The case has been running in the Su-
perior courts for number of years. 1t
was first tried before Judge Finn, and he
rendered a judgment in favor of the de-
PENDANTS. This judgment the Supreme
Court reversed announcing that the plaih-
tiff had made out almost prima facie
case. The action was then taken before
Judge Hunt, and with the opinion of the
Supreme Court before him he rendered
jud gment for the plaintiffs. This was also
reversed by the Supreme Court, which, in
rendering its opinion, stated the Judgment
was gross error, as the plaintiff had made
no case at all. 1t was then decided by all
parties to compromise the matter, and this
was done by pro forma verdict rendered
by jury in Judge Hunts court yesterday
in favor of the defendants.
