NO TRACE OF HIM YET
The Work Of the ReScuing Party Is
Brought to Halt.
ANOTHER FALL OF GROUND
Tom MaxweIl's Friends Have Lit
tie Hope of Finding Him Soon
The Men Return to
the City.

When George Burt and Matt Per-
kinson started to resume yesterday
morning the work of cleaning out the
shaft in which Tom Maxwell Is sup
posed to be buried, they found that
during the night another cave-in had
occurred in the mine and covered the
bottom deeper than before. The north
side slid in to the hole and the west
side of the shaft threatens to fall in at
any time. They were unable to do any
further work in the shaft and were
brought to Anaconda by Mr. Caspar
late last night.
This morning some other plan will
probably be formulated for the work.
The friends of Maxwell still believe that
his body is buried in that prospect hole
and will not be satisfied until they
know the truth. Those of the rescuing
party of Saturday who tramped all
around the edge of the shaft will shud-
der to think how they might have gone
down with the slide of Saturday night
had it occurred earlier in the day.

take a floater out of town. The jail
was empty early in the evening, but
when the cleanup began 1t was rapidly
filled and the late arrivals were bunked
on the floor in the corridors. IL was
a motley crew; not one of them had
cent of money, and the pockets OF most
of them were empty. Some had DTS OF
candle. one a piece of soap, another
razor. A scrap of comb, cigar stubs,
pipes, and such articles were the only
possessions found on them.
Any description of man could nave
been filed out of the bunch-there were
tall. short, fat, lean. fair and dark. well
dressed and ragged men, SLOUGH hats
and derbys of ancient vintage, caps
and sombrero. old men and young men,
white. black, and yellow men, all
slowed away promiscuously within the
stone walls.
Not one of them were justly arrested.
Every man had job, or was just go
ing to work-that is. to hear them tell
the story, but all the circumstances
were against them. Those who kicked
and swore the hardest were fellows
known to be deadbeats and profession

precautions have been taken to prevent
burglaries which were tipped TO the

Havana, Jan. 26.-The coastwise
steamer Julia, from Santiago de Cuba,
which had on board the battalion of
Simancas, commanded by General Ca
nella, went ashore near Batabano and
was so far injured as to be made use

Murphy smelled cigarette smoke and

entered.

smoke that came from under his coat.

said Murphy. Indignantly. and
slammed the door. The fireman threw
all his weight against the door just as
Corbett opened it. and Murphy stag
gered half across the room, and before
he could recover himself Corbett struck

blow on Corbett's mouth that
brought blood in a stream. The fire.

bett caught him from behind, threw
him down and kicked him. Murphy
then started down stairs again, Corbett
following. Murphy grabbed Corbett
around the legs and pulled his feet
from under him, letting the pugihst
slide down stairs. When the pugilist
reached the bottom he was frantic with
rage, and again attacked Murphy, but
the men were soon separated. Cor
belts mouth was very badly swollen,
and Murphy was badly hurt in the
back, where Corbett kicked him.

A holdup occurred late Saturday
night i'm the fricasseed district, of
which William Brokensten was the vic

and was just starting out to blow 1t in,
when he ran up against a great big
gun backed up by two husky footpads
who thus enforced a demand for his
money. William submitted while they

robbers disappeared around the high

SOCIAL EVENTS.

Yesterday was the beginning Of new
era of happiness for City Clerk NJ. j.
Desmond, he having taken to himself
a helpmeet in the person of Miss Mary
A. Morley, one of Sacranento's most
popular and highly esteemed young
ladies.
The groom is a great favorite with
all who know him, his genial, sunny
temper and oiJliging ways winning as
his friends all who come in contact with
him. He is q popular member of the
Mcneil Club, as is his bride of the
Young Ladies' Institute, and they were
substantially remembered by their
friends in those organizations.
The wedding took place at the Ca
thedraI at 11:30 a. m., Father Walsh
performing the beautiful and impressive
ceremony that united two souls with
but a single thought, two hearts that
beat as one" c. M. Phinney acted as
gYoomsn1an and Miss Nellie Morley, the
brides sister, as bridesmaid.
After the ceremony the party returned
to the home of the brides parents, at
f4o4 f street, where an elegant we'd
ding breakfast awaited them. There
they received a number of their friends
from | to 2:30 p. m, there being some
fine vocal music rendered, both in
solos duets and quartets, and the
happy pair took the , p. m. train to

RAILWAY COMMISSION.
THE STATE BOARD HELD A
MEETING YESTERDAY.
Talk of Ordering Uniform System o1
Accounts for All Transporta=
tiOn Companies.

SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 23.-The
Railway Commission met this after
noon. Chairman LaRue opened the
discussion of the Southern Pacific Rail-
way rate case by advising that nothing
be done with other rates than those
covered by Judge McKennas decision
until the powers of the commission
were decided in the Supreme Court of
the United States. Commissioner Clark
agreed with him, but Commissioner
Stanton said he could see no reason for
not taking up all railway rates and in
vestigating them.
"Otherwise,'' he said, Il can't see that
we have anything to do
LaRue said no reduction the board
might order would go into effect until
the Supreme Court should decide the
case. Action might interfere with the
attorneys of the board in the courts
without interfering in any way with
the attorneys" Stanton replied, Il
think we should go to the Legislature
and have enough provided as an ap-
preparation to allow us to investigate
the railways rates and leases. We
would then have all this data here. and
instead of interfering with the attor-
neys it would appear to me to be a
valuable aid to them. At any rate we
should get up uniform system of ac-
counts for all transportation companies.
and / move that the Secretary be in
structed to notify all companies that
it is our intention TO prescribe a uni
form system Of. accounts, so we may get
their suggestions. / think this matter
would be of great advantage
Stanton's motion was adopted.
Stanton said great inconv venience was
caused because the shippers could not
find schedules for freight and passen-
ger rates displayed in stations He
moved the Attorney General be asked
whether the board had the right to or
der companies to display publicly such
schedules. This was adopted

been no more meritorious performance
