BOILER HOUSE BURNED.
Cayusa Breaker Was Imp.rfIted by q Fire
Saturday Morning.


The boiler house of the Cayuga break
cr was destroyed by fire Saturday
morning and the nest of eighteen boil
ers which it contained was more or less
damaged by the flames. Owing to the
high wind which prevailed at the time
the breaker was imperilled but fortune
and the fireDien prevented its destruc-
ton.
The fire broke out at II o'clock a. m.
and Is supposed to have been caused by
a defect in the chimney which leads
through the roof. for it was there the
blaze was first Seen. The mine hose
was found to be ineffective because OF
the low water pressure and the impos-
sliiiity OF utilizing the steam from the
boilers. An alarm from box 81. brought
the North End companies but their SER
Vices were of little or no avail because
they had no engine. the only one In the
North End, the General Phinney's be-
ing disabled. The Crystals steamer
was sent tir and after much delay ar
rived on the scene and the work Of saw
ing the breaker was begun. Little or
no attention was paid to the boiler
house as 1t was doomed before the fire
department got in working shape
The boiler house was almost conf
pletely cnveloned in flames before the
steam was blown off. An explosion was
threatened and much CONSERVATION
prevailed. Finally after several failed

crs fought his way through the smoke

valves.
Many miners were below at the time
and had to walk a couple OF miles un-
dergruund to reach the Storr's shaft
opening.
The collicry is owned by the Della

Hughes estimates that the loss will
amount to about $1,000. Six hundred

the boilers and put them In repair.

THE NEW Jury.

Ri. = 49, SN0Av5sv vOSA4s tsS FsslBe ~:
1t viii be noticed that three or foul
of the jury who served at the June
term and again a. the adjourned Dec
term Of court, again appear on the
January term. AZ the statute Il
made on the principle that all voterl
shall serve on the jury 10 turn, this
repetition looks queer. Tho reason ID
this. that BY law, certain number
of names is furnished bY each muni-
cipal or town board to the clerk OF
court, with which he makes q list to
contain 200 names, from which SO are
drawn each term. At the close of
the term, q requisition Is made on
the townships for new names to sup
ply the vacancies, caused by the dis.
charge Of those who have served. At
the December term however, the
time was too short to supply the new
names, 80 Judge Sauter ordered the
names Of those who had just been
discharged put back in s'the box' and
IN the ensuing drawing. four Of them
were again drawn for jurors at the
term next month. This may cause O
complication, but points to the fact
that the law should be 60 amended
that In case of emergency, some 9th.
er method of completing the list
should be provided.
