the champions beat the Princeton Varsity

inning. when the champions touched him
up for four singles and double. which.
with a base on balls, yielded them five
runs. Wilson succeeded Hitzrott, and was
loudly applauded when he retired Dan

Coming to Life Again.
Journal.

The new impulse lately given to gold mining has brought new life to many deserted towns and abandoned camps ln the west. One of the most notable of these resurrections-reyival docs not ac- curately describe the situation-is 1n the case of the camp of Florence, Ida. In 1861 this camp had population ot 0,Ooo people, with banks, saloons, ho- tels and everything that goes to the making of city Itwas a placer camp, and gold was plentiful as gravel while it lasted. But it didn't last long, and in those bonanza days miners would not stay to work quartz So the population deserted Florence as quickly as 1t came, and for many years the town was abso- lutely deserted and as much Q ruin as ancient Carthage. Recently several good quartz lodges have been discovered at the old camp, and Florence is building up again. Cincinnati Enouirer.

were then free and the operator set them down on the table with tho clay icle.
 The entire left side had been removed, and yet not more than tablespoonful of blood was lost. All the customary and still greater precautions were taken in dressing the wound. The loose flaps of skin were brought together and sewed with silk, and several small rubber drainage tubes were inserted to keep the inside of the wound free from the gathering of pus.
 And so the patient was returned to tho sick ward much easier than when he was brought into the operating room, but minus his left arm, shoulder blade and collar bone. The operation took just 1 hour and 40 minutes, and tho patient has been steadily gaining strength ever since.
 Only three other operations of the kind are recorded in medical records. One of these was in France, ono in Eng land and one in America. New York Journal

caGo at I O'Clock this morning and made
the country trpmble for miles around,
II came not in the low, long, rumbllng
manner In which earthquakes usually
occur but with great boom. The ex-
plosion IL said to have been caused by
four tons OF giant powder, which Is said
TO have been accidentally ignited, near
the little town OF Romeo, on the big
now drainage canal which is In course
OF construction. Throughout an area
OF about nifty miles square, from Wan
kegan, ILL.,, on the north to Kankakee,
ILL.,. on the south, and from Rockford,
ILL.,, on the west TO Michigan City, Ind,
on the east, the shock was heard, At
all these places there seemed TO be q
great explosion, and anxious Inquiries
were sent m all directions to learn the
cause OF the shock.
No one WINS killed by the explosion.
IL occurred In the powder house near
Romeo, about 500 feet from the canal
Throughout Chicago windows shook
and ratified and buildings seemed to
rock. Probably as many MS million
people were awakened by the shock,

place where last week a number OF
workmen We're killed and injured by

Not n stick Of wood nor scrap OF
iron OF the magazine was left, About
the only tangible result was an inn

five pound weight known TO have been
at the magazine was found half n mile
away, where'lt had been carried by the
force OF tho shock. A number OF cranes
were somewhat damaged, but aside
from this and the destruction OF the
magazine and dynamite there was no
loss except from the breakage OF win
dows In great aren. That no one was
killed or injured Is due to the fact that
there We're no watchmen on duty In the
vicinity at the time and no night shifts
employed on the line The idea is that
the explosion occurred In the drying
room OF the powder house. The nearest
habitatIon to the place Of the disaster
Is quarter OF mile distant. the con-

men there were thrown from their beds

Wool.

BOSTON-The Boston Commercial
Bulletin will say tomorrow. In Its an
nual review OF the wool trade: Wool at
the close OF tho year averages 3 cents n
secured pound higher than at the be-
ginning. Boston had done the largest
business In her history, the sales for
the year being 2S0,75O373 pounds, OF
which 15t3Si.713 pounds were domestic
and 70, 10000 pounds were foreign. This
surpasses even the record OF 1899, when
the sales were $50. ~. 900 pounds. These
sales all represent actual transactions,
but as many OF them are gales to specu-
lntors, the delivery movement more ac-
curuteiy represents consumption. The
total receipts OF wool In Boston were
b77,SJ7 bags domestic, against blS,3Oi
bags domestic in 1894, and 323,9Sl bales
foreign, against iO2, 1863 bales foreign In
1885, The stock on hand in Boston is
