Down HILL TO DEATH.


hTcc nhiseUS VINE 1yuyuFcuS rOur
Probably Fatally.
At Pittsburg three persons were killed
and nine injured, four probably fatally,
by an accident Sunday evening on the
Carnegie branch of the West End Trac-
ton Company, caused BY the breaking OF
brake bar on trolley car No. 90. The
brake bar broke while the car was going
down a steep hill just inside the city
limits, and the car tore down the hill for
q quarter Of a mile without being under
the slightest control. At the foot Of the
hill Ii a sharp curve, and here the car
jumped the track and turned over, max.
Ing a complete somersault. The shock
splintered the car into kindling wood.
When the brake bar broke the conductor
told the passengers to lie down on the
bottom Of the car, which they did. the
women shrieking and praying. The mo.
torman stuck bravely to his post. On
the way down the hill Mrs. Foley threw
her 3-year-old daughter out of the car
window. The child was bruised by the
fall. but not seriously hurt. Conductor
Mcclure, despite probably fatal injuries,
was the first from under the wreck and
got axes from the coal mine house and
began to cut away the wreckage. The
road has been In operation only a few
months, but several accidents have oc.
Cured on It. owing to steep grades and
sudden curves at the foot of hills. During
the first few weeks of the road's opera
tiOn car went down an embankment and
several people were injured.

ing of the craze over the Kafir mining
shares In London, Paris and Berlin, said:
"The mad rush for shares In the South
African mines by London investors was
the most astonishing thing in the way Of
speculation have ever seen. The pur-
chasers were like 80 many hungry wolves
who could not be fed fast enough. There
seemed to be very little effort on the part
of the investors to make inquiries about
what they were buying. Everybody was
buying, and everybody did what every.
body else was doing. remember one in
stance. The so-called king Of the Kaf.
frs,' Barney Barnato. who was once.
believe, q circus performer, announced In
London the opening of new mine In the
Transvaal called the Coffin 1t was.
I believe. about seven feet long and four
feet deep. No one In London knew any
thing about the mime but the shares
were put upon the market and In no time
they were at fabulous premium. Of
course, this Is merely public speculation,
and It Is only matter of time when the
bubble will burst. When the reaction
sets in II will be, In my opinion. In favor
of American securities. Financiers In
London are already beginning to turn
their gaze from South Africa to Amer
ica,"

GULF COAST SINKING.

Result Of Ex crimcnts Made BY Major
Qminn Of the U. q. Envinccrs.
Maj. Quinn, United States engineer In
charge Of the lighthouses Of the New Or
leans district, has just returned from Port
Eads and the jetties. He insists, after a
most careful examination, that the lower
delta and the sea marshes along the Gulf
of Mexico IRE slowly sinking. For more
than year experiments with tide gauges
have been In progress at the mouth Of the
Mississippi River, and as q result Maj
Quinn has reached the conclusion that
the level of the gulf has been raised one
foot since 1877. This the Major attrib.
utes to a gradual. though irregular, sub.
sidence Of the land along the coast and,
he believes, throughout the Mississippi
