Died From sis Injuries.

Antoine Moriconi, a timberman EN-
ployed IN the Black Hills branch OF th'
Calumet and Hecla mine was injured
while at work Yesterday and died at tn,
Calumet hospital last night from the Ell
fects OF his hurts.
Moricon was employed with a party
OF eight timbermen and they were at
work in the level north OF No. III shaft
when the accident happened. They were
getting ready to hoist some heavy
square timber into position when the
ground gave way in the stope and came
down on top OF Moriconi. When the
other members OF the party heard the
ground coming they FASTENED to make
their escape and Moriconi was the only
one that was caught The ground was
lot OF loose rock which was thought to
be perfectly sale by the timbermen who
had tried it before going to work in the
stope and had found 1t safe.
The poor fellow had bis chest crushed
in and both arms were badly bruised be-
side internal injuries. He was taken to
the hospital with all possible speed and his
injuries dressed, but it was plain to the
physicians that he had not long to live.
However, he did not expire until after
midnight.
Moriconi was well known among his
fellow employees as a very steady man
and he bad been employed here for many
years. He is a single man and has no
near relatives in this city but is said to
have a wealthy br other in Chicago. He
was member of Christopher Columbus
society and the "Justi" society.
Mine Inspector Hall went underground
this morning and afterward informed
Coroner Sowden, who empaneled jury
to hold an inquest over the remains.
They viewed the remains at Slattery &
Ryan's morgue this morning and the tes-
timony OF the witnesses o. the accident is |
being taken this afternoon.

and-"CycIone, Arrested for
Manufactures Notes.

There was a big batch OF cases agains
youthful offenders in Justice Fisher
court this morning. County Agent "
+. Miller was out from Houghton and a
a result OF the examinations several Ca
umet boys will probably be sent to tn
State Industrial school at Lansing.
The principal case was against la,
named Harry Hendrickson who spend
most OF his time around the hotels black
ing boots and doing other odd Jobs wher
he could make little money. Last Sun
day he took satchel from the Calumet
hotel to Me-. Cooley's residence for lady
and the following day he went to Mr.
Cooley's and said that the lady war
wanted at the Calumet hotel, but was
informed that the lady was not in. In a
short time be returned and said that the
lady was at the hotel and wanted her
small sstchel, which was given him and
which the lady has since been unable to
get possession OF. 1t seems that he made
his first visit to the house to find out il
the lady was home and, acting on this
Information he returned and worked his
dodge in order TO get the grip which he
had very probably examined when he
carried it from the hotel the day prev
ious. There was over $40 and other
valuables in the sa;chel, He was arrest
ed last night by the marshal and spent
the night IN Jail. This frightened him
somewhat aud this morning be confessed
to the THEFT and said that the satchel
was home. The same boy worked the
sympathy dodge TO perfection on the
guests at the hotel this summer by telling
a sad tale of woe so often that one of the
boarders finally took up collection
among the guests and bought him a new
suit of clothing.
Another case was that of Cyclone"

lie was arrested on the charge of assault.
1t seems that Cyclone" struck another
boy with his fist so hard that the other
boy carries black and blue eye as
result. Cyclone" says that the other
boy was calling him improper names and
he taught him a lesson, The case has
not yet been settled as action was de. !

trial and the invention are described
by Henry 7. Morris, United States con-
SUI at Client, Belgium i'm an official
report to the department OF state.
Some time ago" he says the
French state railway gave public
trial of new invention designed Ia
effect automatically the stoppage OF
trains with view to preventing COLI
sions, grade crossing accidents, etc
The experiments took place under the
direction of the inventor at Beaulieu lie
Condray, near Charities. before many
railway engineers and n numerous
gathering of scientists Those present
were convinced that the apparatus full
ly satisfied all claimed for it,
The point chosen for the official ex-
periments offered the greatest possible
danger and difficulties. / was on the
single track line between Chartres and
Orleans, at the point of divergence OF
the branch running to Anneau and inn
mediately over a grade crossing.
There, at a distance of 80 yards from
the station, the mechanism was placed
in position. The invention consists of
an immense hook, or catch made of
heat iron. to which while rigid a GER
tain elasticity is given. 1t is fastened
to the rails and regulated by n wire
and lever from the station. When lying
flat trains pass il readily but Whsn
raised ii catches a lever hanging from
the passiging locomotive. The latter
lever then automatically causes an air
valve on the engine to open. and the
brakes are Immediately in action. Dur
ing the trial the train came To stand
still before reaching the station.
Careful calculation has been made
that the hook or catch on the roadbed
should have at the same time sufficient
suppcnCss 10 insure its action
Another ingenious arrangement con-
meets the grade CROSSING gate With the
apparatus in such a manner that the
former cannot be opened without the
latter being in position. SO that an APP
preaching train must necessarily stop
before reaching the crossing. thus
avoiding all risk Of injuring persons
