British Defeat Tribesmen.

The British forces under Gen. Sir
William Locl1hart captured the Sem
pagha pass on the Afghanistan border
of India. Gen. Gaselee, in command
of the Second brigade, led the advance
upon the tribesmcn's position, which
was very strong and the approaches to
it were greatly exposed. The pass
was found to be a series of steep rises
atfording much dead ground to an at
lacking party. The troops, under
cover of a mountain battery, captured
hight after hight and finally the fourth
Gurkhas and the West Surreymen ar
rived at the summit together. The
enemy now opened well-directed fire
at the troop on the summit, but were
effectually cleared from the surround
ing nights in about three hours The
total casualties did not exceed 20.

Seven Miners Killed.

The river slope of the Delaware &
Hudson Co. s Van Storch mine at Scran-
ton, Pa, was Quilted by fire and a,
least seven men are known To have
been sutfocated by smoke and possibly
one other, a Polander, is numbered
among the dead. The slope extends
down through three veins. The miss
ing men were at work 100 feet below
the surface. Eighteen men were in
the mine when Pump Runner Simp-
kins detected smoke in the slope and
ran back in the workings to give the
alarm. Only 10 of this number were
hoisted through the air shaft. II is
thought the fire started from u miners
lamp worn by one of n party of 10
miners who walked up the slope to the
surface 40 minutes before the smoke
was discovered.

A Black Death Taking on KIondykers.

Miners from Dawson City who came
back on the steamer Farrallon from
Dyea report that before they left, Han
sen, one of the managers of the Alaska
Commercial Co., arrived at Dawson
City in a canoe and told of the aban-
donment of efforts to get food up the
river Fully 400 miners at once made
preparations TO start back over the
trails, but the citizens committee re-
fused to allow them sufficient provi-
sions for the journey. Chas. Fries, of
Tacoma, says that besides the famine,
mysterious disease has broken out
and is carrying off an average of five
men daily. Twenty-four hours after
the victim is attacked he turns black
from the waist to the throat and two
days later, in majority of cases, is
dead.

BIG STEAL KNOCKED OUT.
Uncle Sam Puts n stop to the Attempt to
Grab the Union Pacific Railroad.

Grab the Union Pacific Railroad.
II may have been the strong influ-
ence of the press of the country which
has prevented certain eastern and for
eign capitalists, known as the Union
Pacific reorganization committee, from
swindling the United States govern
ment out of about $50, 900, 900 by fore
ing a sale Of Uncle Sans interests in
the Union Pacific railroad at the
swindlers' own price. AT any rate At
torney- General McKenna was led to
see the advisability of postponing the
sale until other capital could be organ
lied to bid against the grabbers. This
brought the latter to time and now
they offer to increase their original bid
of $50, 900, 900 to sum sufficient to
cover the full amount of the govern
ment's claim against the Union Pacific
road proper, which on Oct. aggre-
gated SIS, 067, $685. AS to the Kansas
Pacific, which they proposed to gobble
at loss TO the United States of nearly
ST. 200, 900, the committee withdraws
its guarantee and consents to a post
ponement of the sale to any date to
suit the convenience ofthe government.
The net result of the new arrange
ment so far as concerns the Union Pa
cific is regarded by the officials as
highly advantageous to the govern
ment, as it secures all that it has ever
claimed to be due it, and renders it
practically certain that very large
share of the debt of the Kansas Pacific
will be realized whenever it may de-
eide to consent to its sale.

THE NASH scHooLuousE
TO Be Model Of Convenience, Comfort On,

The Nash schoolhouse which is fast
being completed will be model of con-
venience, comfort and healthfulness.
When completed it will accommodate .e
16O pupils with ease.
The whole building is an honor to tho
architect and builder In many cases
the ventilation which is a most import
ant factor to the health of the scholars,
is overlooked, but here is represented
a most excellent plan known as the
hot air plan thus avoid cold draughts.
This ventilation is closely connected
with the heating apparatus which con-
sists of two hot water heaters located
in the cellar, radiators being in place in
each room. A f1ue which runs up
through the roof is heated, this causes
draught upwards thereby sucking air
into the other end of the pipe which
leads through the heaters and this air
passes through the schoolrooms. In
each of the four schoolrooms there is
little fireplace. Two dressing rooms
are upon each floor
In the basement are two very handy
water closets with modern fixtures.

The city has cause to be proud of the
building.

be seen by the following incident told
by an Augusta lawyer. A couple at
Kennebunk were united in marriage
and went to the railroad station to
start upon their honeymoon. The
train pulled into the station and
the bride made up her mind that it
would be the proper thing to go upon
mission among her friends. both lad
les and gentlemen, present. She had
kissed about half of the crowd when
the train started. The groom jumped
upon the train but the poor bride was
left. A little way out of the station
the poor groom told the conductor of
his predicament and that official
promptly stopped the train and had 1t
backed to the station where the sor-
rowing bride was taken aboard.
