False Alarm or Fire.

The Red Jacket fire department got out
in double quick time this morning by an
alarm from box 81. near Calumet No. 5
shaft house. 1t was false alarm. The
electricians we're doing some work on the
alarm box and in some way connected
the wires which turned in an alarm at
the Red jacket engine house only. As
the engine came out of the engine house
Nelson & Standel's bakery wagon was
standing near the corner. Whether the
horse had previously been employed in a
fire engine department and the sound 9th 3
alarm recalled former days of service or
what, it started at double quick time.
racing side bv side with the engine team.
The horse was finally stopped and the
outfit was not much the worse for the
runaway.

Wall & Johnson's Stars OF Comedy will
open a weeks engagement at the Opera
House Monday night, changing it's COM
edies and specialties nightly. The CON-
pany's repertoire embraces line of COM
edies and farce comedies which are new
here, but all OF them have been produced
successfully in the larger cities. The per-
formances are coatinuous-no tiresome
waits or between acts" and are well cal
culated to please on account OF their
abundant comedy features. Nat and
Minnie Leroy, a sketch and travesty
team OF considerable reputation, change
their act nightly and the roars of laugh
ter they provoke make them prime fav-
orites. The same may be said OF John
Carol, the Irish comedian, and petite lit
tie Dorothy Lewis, who never fails to
sing and dance herself into the good
graces OF her audiences.

some hopes that the wide guage is to be

that when Mr.. Fitch was here yeste r
day he gave it out that ele long the Red

be used IA passenger station while the
present Mineral Range depot would be
used only for freight purposes and that

Two TrammerS Seri-
onsly Injured Last
Evening.
One Man Not Expected to Live
Because or the Injuries He Received
His Partner, Fortunately, Not
SO seriously Injured.

A mining accident occurred last even
ing at the Tamarack Junior mine which
resulted in the serious injury OF two men.
one OF them probably fatally. A report
was freely circulated about town this
morning that two Cornish miners had
been killed and another was so badly
hurt that he would die. The fact is,
Frank Benlf, an Austrian trammer, was
so badly injured that there are but sight
hopes OF his recovery, and his partner,
Frank Mozchess. was also seriously in
iured, but not fatally. A third tran mer
had his leg hurt, but his injuries were not
considered serious enough to detan him
at the hospital.
The unfortunate occurrence happeued
in this manner: The miners employed in
sinking No. shaft in order TO expedite
hosting IRON other parts OF the mine
work only during the day, Just before
leaving work last evening at 6 o'clock,
they charged ten holes, eight OF which
were fired, while two missed. The min
ers returned and could only find one of
the missed holes. which was fired ia due
course, and when the miners left work
they reported the fact that there was
still missed hole.
The tram mers knew this when they |
went TO work to clean up the dirt. but |
the cap and charge of the missed hole, al |
though it had not gone off, was appar-
emily in one OF the pieces OF rock |
torn off by one OF the other blasts
and was lying with the other loose dirt |
which the trammers were about to send |
TO surface, and Benlf, in working, must |
have struck the cap with his pick which |
was followed by the explosion, which sent
the stones and dirt flying in every direc-
iton. Mozchess was standing behind
Benlf at the time OF the explosion aud,
hence, was saved 10 a considerable ex-
tent.
Benlfs left arm was blown off and part
OF his right arm and the bone in the upper
broken in a compound fracture The
dirt and stone struck him full 10 the face
iniuriDg his head in a terrible manner.
His eyes are both gone and he has two
deep gashes in his neck. His nose and
mouth are bruised beyond recognition
and the fact that his breathing appar-
atus is in good condition alone keeps him
alive. The physicians think it almost
impossible tor him TO live wenty-iour
hours, although he lived through the
night, and appeared somewhat easier
this morning.
Mozchess head was also badly cut up
by the fyings rock and he was il jured
quite seriously in the back.

DRUMMER's DRY SUNDAY.
His Recent Experience In Toronto, Cam

ada.
"Any one who believes that the WORD
dead cannot be compared ought t.
visit Toronto on Sunday, remarked q
drummer the other day. 1--WE seen dead
towns before, but Toronto is the dead
est on the map. Any one who is side
tracked in that town over Sunday can
do nothing but grow.
II slipped dollar into the hand of
the clerk of the biggest hotel in Toronto
one Sunday afternoon recently and said:
I'm so dry that IN afraid I'll crumble
into dust and blow away. If you know
any way by which l can be moistened
SO that will hold together till l get
out of town, wish you would point it
out. There is bar connected with the
hotel ON week days, isn't there? If any
one calls TO see me, l shall be in my
room for the next hour. Then went
TO my room and waited.
"By and by there was timid knock
on the door and the clerk entered. He
appeared badly frightened and kept
glancing about apprehensively all the
while. He carried an old valise, which
he thrust into my hands, exclaiming in
loud voice, Beg pardon, sir, but you
have left this in the office. Then he
added, sotto voce, Throw it under the
bed out of sight after you're through
with it.

FOUGHT A SWORDFlSH.

Bathing.

Had n Narrow Escape From Death While
Bathing.
Richard Wilson Of Eizabethport N.
j., fought for ten minutes the other
evening with monster swordfish that
attacked him while he was swimming
III the Raritan river.
Wilson had been for some minutes in
the water and was crossing the stream
leisurely when something shot past his
body, and the next instant the blade of
swordtish pierced his right ankle.
The weapon Of the angered fish passed
through the flesh and protruded from
the other side. With cry of agony the
young man clutched at the writhing
creature, but every movement added to
the terrible pain and increased the flow
of blood, which rapidly discolored the
water. Several times Wilson was drawn
under water, but each time returned,
fighting bravely to dislodge his assail-
ant.
Wilson's cries and struggles attracted
some men who were on the shore. They
went to his assistance and with oars
and boat hooks managed to drive the
fish off, but not before it had inflicted
several other wounds on Wilson's leg as
he struggled to release himself
As soon as he was taken into the boat
he tainted from loss of blood, and a
physician was called. The principal
wound was Of such a dangerous char
acter that it was found necessary to
cauterize it immediately.-New York

4 Third Match Proposed

force OF carpenters are at work at
Laurium erecting a fence TO enclose the
lot on Hecla street where the big wrest-
ling tournament will take place next Fri
day and Saturday. Seats will be ar
ranged all around the place on circus
tent plan and in this way everyone will
have a good view OF the tournament.
The Laurium committee has decided
that il Hancock goes ahead and has a
tournament Friday and Saturday, the
Laurium people will offer big purse for
a match between the winner of the tour
nament at Hancock and the one at Lau-
rum. The match will come off the fol.
lowing Saturday and n purse will also
be hung up for match between the win
ners OF second prizes at each tournament.
1t is more than probable from the way
things look at present that Rowett will
come out first or second in the Laurium
tournament and Dryer seems TO stand
the same show at Hancock. In this case
these two wrestlers may come together
the following Saturday and good match
would result.
In case this occurs Rowett's friends
here are willing to back him against all
corners for almost any amount and Row.
EFT is willing and DESTROYS OF defending
his title az champion OF the world.
The Laurium committee has received
assurances from many OF the wrestlers
from the iron country that they will be
here Friday to enter the tournament.

More Turtft Needcd.

France is not as rich as the United
States. and has fewer m%illionaires. but
moro general prosperity-a result
brought about by the thrift of the peo-
pie. If we wish to enjoy similar pros
peiity. not the prosperity of immense
fortunes. but with the millions happy
and contented. we must. says the Chi
cagO Record. get back to that thrift
which was once the distinguished feat
tire of Americans. and upon which the
wealth and progress of the country are
founded. In this connection it makes
a very practical suggestion-the estab-
lishnfent of postal savings banks to in
culcate in persons of very moderate
means the habit of thrift. There are
savings banks in the large cities, and
in some of the smaller towns in New
England, and they have had a good eff
feet upon the people: but to have the
effect needed, to produce thrift among
the people. we need savings banks ut
every postoffice. banks in which a per.
son will not feel ashamed to deposit a
few cents. These banks have been sig
nally successful wherever established.
and have encouraged habits of thrift
which need u great deal of encourage
ment in this country. 1t will tend to
prevent panics and hard times, and
will do far more to restore prosperity
than the hope held by Klondike
gold fields, speculation or trusts to
make immense fortunes in n few
months.-New Orleans Times Demo-
crat.
