TO ENLARGE THE RESCUE MISSION.
Meeting Held I'm It's Interest at Tsber-
nacle Church.

The work OF the Rescue Mission. which
IS in its third year, has been so marked
and positive for good that a movement is
on foot TO put 1t on permanent basis and
enlarge as rapidly as possible the scope of
It's influence. In order TO consider how this
might best be done g. called meeting was
held yesterday afternoon at Plymouth
Church. which was attended by prominent
ministers. laymen and business men not
members OF churches. Remarks were made
by Rev. Messrs. Rondthaler, Christensen,
Sims, Haines. Knox, Brown of the Friends
Church. Brown OF the Rams Horn, Co.. Eli
Lilly. Charles p. Whitsitt. w. s. Hubbard,
W. II. Roll and others, all of whom strongly
Endorsed the work of the Mission and the
leadership of w. ". Wheeler.
The sentiment OF the meeting was unani-
nous that fund should Immediately be
raised sufficiently large to put the Mission
for Mr.. Wheeler, so that his whole time
might be devoted to the work. The opin-
ion was emphasized that the work was of
such great benefit and Importance TO the
city that IL must go on stronger and deeper
than ever. All seemed to think that MIR
Wheeler was the only man who could carry
on the work which he had so we'll begun
and continued under great difficulty and
that he ought to receive a unanimous cal
10 undertake it. This he cannot do how
ever. unless arrangements can be made for
his support. so that he can make 1t his sole
business.
After a free discussion Ii was decided to
call a meeting OF all interested to still fur
Their consider the matter. This meeting was
set for Sunday afternoon. at o'clock in
the Tabernacle Presbyterian Church At this
meeting short addresses setting forth the
nature OF the work and giving some review
OF what has been accomplished will be made
by DR. Sims. Dr. Christensen, DIR. Haines

NINE YEARS OF NATURAL GAS.


The annual report of the State Gas In
spector has not yet been completed and
filed with the Governor, but it's contents
have become known. Yesterday State Geol
ogist Blatchley said the extracts from the
report that have become current a full
synopsis of the important parts Of the re-
port. After reciting the early history of the
gas fields in this State. the in
spector says it Is becoming more and
more evident that there must he some reg
ulation OF the use of gas or it will soon be
a thing of the past. so far as much prac-
teal benefit Is concerned. He speaks of the
rapid encroachment of salt water i'm the
field. He says that instead of spending
time and energy in inventing apparatus for
the illumination of the country for miles
around those interested in gas wells are
now endeavoring 10 secure more scientific
ways for burning 1t so as TO be more eco
nomical in its use.
The last year, he says, has brought out
some anxiety as to the cost of gas in the
future In some places the schedule has
materially advanced and efforts have been
made 10 advance rates in other places. He
speaks of the effort on the part OF some
companies TO introduce the meter system.
In regard to the meter system. which he
favors. he says In substance:

There will be meeting Jan. % at the
Second Presbyterian Church. to inaugurate
a movement loking to the establishment in
this city OF a nonsectarian hospital with
free wards for poor people from any part
part of the State. DR.. John Kolmer has
charge of the project. and several prominent
men have lent announcement to the
scheme. DR.. Kolmer thinks such hospital
could be started for about $500 and should
be under the supervision of the State Board
OF Charities. Particular attention would be
paid TO diseases peculiar TO women. Much
of this treatment has heretofore been only
at the command of well-to-do people, and,
"a a result. many women. on account of
their poverty. have become wrecks. whereas
proper treatment in time would have avoided
long years OF suffering.

TO BEGIN TO CONDEMN
PARK COMMISSION WILL ASK CIR
CUT COURT FOR APPRAISERS.
Soon he Under Way-Benefits
and Damages.

The Board of Park Commissioners met
yesterday and decided to begin at once the
work on the proposed park system along the
banks of White river and Fall creek Steps
are to be taken within the next few weeks
to secure the ground necessary for the
parks. The board yesterday talked over
the plans and decided TO ask the Circuit
Court to appoint appraisers to assess bene-
fits and damages resulting from the con-
demnation of the necessary ground. 1t Is
thought the assessments of benefits will
equal those of damages, so the board will
be put to a small expense.
The force of the park board office Is work.
ing hard in completing the large map OF the
proposed system. On this map are being
placed all the drives. lakes, walks and
parks proposed, as we'll the neighboring
plats. showing the owners of the same.
The commissioners are waiting now for the
completion of this map, so ii can be seen
who those persons are that will be affected
by the condemnation of ground In prepar-
ing the map care has been taken not to
make assessments of benefits heavy upon
any one person. An effort has been made
to locate the parks in places where neigh
boring property owners can afford best to
pay for them, but notwithstanding all the
care that has been taken, the commissioners
anticipate considerable objection when the
appraisers begin fixing benefits. The park
board is empowered, however. to condemn
ground for park purposes, and the commits
sioners are going ahead with the work
The commissioners hope to gain possession
of the necessary ground with very little ex-
pense. This spring as much will be done
as possible in preparing the ground for
parks, although ii may be several years be-
fore the whole system is invitingly COM
plete.
The plan which the commissioners will
pursue in the condemnation of ground will
be according to the report made by the
hrm of Olmstead, Olmstead & Elliott, of
Brookline, Mass. The commissioners will
begin with the condemnation of ground at
Washington street and White river and
contine northward to Fall creek, and thence
to the fair grounds. The commissioners
have under consideration, in connection
with the drives and walks, the construction
of a bicycle path the entire distance Ii is
the intention to construct frst-class path
keep 1t in good condition and allow nothing
but bicycles on Ii.
The commissioners yesterday decided to
give the Blind Institute Park a better
sounding name. Hereafter the park north
or the institute will be known as St Clair
Square. Soft naples are to be planted
around University Park.

in the Senate amendment. In the sec

buildings which invite fire, and fire
in one building means extending to
others in the block. 1t may not come

and TO protect everyone the bill should

Rep. Rycroft-I am very much of the
opinion of the Attorney General, so far
as buildings on the site of the old fish
market are concerned. l understand
the Government will expend a great
deal of money in building walls there,
and if poor people own that land and
cannot afford expensive fire proof
buildings they can lease the land and
receive the revenue.
Rep. Winston-It is not the value of
the land, but the cost of erecting new
buildings. Land has decreased in value
SO per cent. in that section since the re-
moval Of the fishmarket.
Rep. Rycroft-Very we'll! When the
Government makes its wharf improve
ments there, and / believe that is the
only direction in which wharfs may
be built, the value of the land will in
crease in proportion.

Mines Are Closing Down and

Of Eight Thousand Men Once

BEssEMER, Mich, Aug. 3.-The Til
den mine has closed down both day and
night shifts of No. 8 shaft. This COM
pletes the Shutdown of the Rockefeller
mines here. Nos. 6, z, s, and 10
shafts now employ just enough men to
keep the mine clear of water In a
large number of mines the pumps have
been taken out and the mines allowed
to fill with water Gogebic range mines
are practically all shut down at Hurley,
Tonwood, Bessemer' and Wakefield.
There are less than 1000 men at work
on the range where at one time
Over 5000 Men Were Employed.
1t is certain that few months of idle
ness will find hundreds of families in
destitution. The several mining COM
panies have allowed their employees all
unoccupied lands for use as "Pingree
FARMS" but the army worm has de-
stroyed the last hope of the miners hav-
ing at least vegetables to keep body and
soul together the coming winter. The
poor fund is exhausted and there are a
large number of outstanding orders,
and the idle miners and their families
are therefore facing starvation.

Four Thousand People Drowned I'm tho

SHANGHAI, Aug. 3.--News of terri
BILE disaster and great loss of life has
just reached here. A tidal wave, esti-
mated to have been about five miles in
length, swept in from the sea on Sun
day last, and inundated the coast of
Hayehau, in the northeast of the,
province of Kiang Su. The damage;
done was very great. Many villages
were destroyed, and it is estimated that
at least 1000 people were drowned. In
addition an immense number of cattle
perished, the rice fields were submerged
and almost totally destroyed, with the
result that famine is feared in that
district during the coming autumn.
Haichau is situated opposite Yu Chau
island on the coast of the Kiang Su
province, which is on the Whang Hal,
OF Yellow sea. The surface is mostly
level, which may account for the great
loss of life. Kiang Su is one of the
most fertile provinces Of the empire,
and exports more silk than any other
part of China. The Yang Use Kiang
enters China through this province, the
principal city of which is Marking.

LITTLE FALLS, Mimi, Aug. 3.-Daniel
Clough, well known resident of Dar-
ling, small station on the Northern
Pacific railway, six miles north of this
city, was shot and killed during the
morning. The name of the man who
committed the deed was Eckman, also
resident of that place. 1t seems that
Eckman and two companions were on
their way to schoolhouse, and on
overtaking Clough Eckman began to
abuse him. Clough told Eckmans
companions to take him away, as he
wanted no trouble with him. This en-
ragged Eckman, and he drew a revolver
from his pocket and shot Clough dead,
the ball entering just above the heart.
The only cause assigned for the killing
is an old claim of Eckman' s that Clough
owned him for some work done some
time ago.
