AROUND A SHAFT.
James Pierce Has Narrow Escape from
Death at Paper Mill.

A little after midnight, Jimmy
Pierce, who tends machine No. at the
paper mill. was engaged in tagging the
big pulley that drives the STACK OF
calenders on this machine. when. in
some way, his clothing caught in the
belt and he was carried over the pull
ley. striking heavily upon the floor in
the narrow space between the pulley
and heavy post that stands almost
beside it.
Dr Harris was Immediately sum
moned. and found the injured man in
a state of collapse and suffering in
tense pain; but. fortunately. no bones
had been broken. The chief injury was
severe jamming about the chest.
with possible internal injuries. \ team
was sent for AM the unfortunate man
was removed to his room al the River
side hotel. whore everything possible
Was done for his comfort.
1t seems almost incredible that any
man could pass over the big pulley II
machine No. > into the close quarters
where Pierce was thrown. and escape
alive. With the exception Of a few
bad bruises about the face and neck.
there were no external injuries. The
tanning about the chest and the gen
aral shaking un sustained by the IN
iured man caused him much SUFFERING

about his accident. Unless internal m

pilots might be compelled to retire. He
asked. was it the duty of Congress 70
impose q tax upon commerce to main
tain certain individuals in idleness--to
pay them for services never rendered!
Miner opposed the bill because he be-
lieved that the board of steamboat in
spectors was not qualified to license
sailing vessels pilots. The passage OF
the b.. was advocated by Simpkins,
who argued that the existence OF the
laws in the nine states where the conf
pulsory pilotage system stu obtalneu
was a violation of the constitutional
inhibition of class legislation He SAID
that vessel owners had no objection 10
paying for pilots services rendered
but did object to being compelled TO
pay pilots for services not rendered.
Cummings opposed the bill. 1t was
the bill, he said. in favor of the vessel
owners against the pilots. The coast
wise trade was in control OF the New
England ship owners, who pald no
tonnage dues. not even clearance ana
entrance fees, hut had Gratuity of
81. 600, 000 or IS. 000, 600 a year from this
