IN AN ENGINES POWER.
Charles Elsasser's Arm Severed
Clean From His
Body.
1t Was Caught Between a Moving
Piston Roi and a Cross
Bar.

Charles Elsasser, an engineer with the
Edison Light and Power Company, 229
Stevenson street, was the victim of a mos t
peculiar and shocking accident at o'clock
last evening. His right arm was cut off
above the elbow by the flying machinery
almost as clean as a surgeons scalpel
could have done it.
At the time of the accident the injured
man was busy wiping the dripping oil off
one of the engines. His arm suddenly
slipped between a cross bar and piiman
rod. and in an instant it was severed.
Elsasser staggered back from the engine,
the blood gushing over his clothes and the
machinery. His companions witnessed
the accident, but became excited and for a
short time made no effort to stanch the
flow of blood.
The injured man, however, remained
remarkably cool and directed those about
him. H. ordered rope tied around the
bleeding limb, and when it was done he
was removed to st. Mary's Hospital.
Here his arm was again amputated near
the shoulder in order to obvate danger of
blood poisoning.
family is dependent for support on
the injured man, but notwif hstanding this
fact he remains cool and apparently cheer
full, knowing full well that complaint will
not alleviate his suffering or lessen his
misfortune.

GYPSY DLYTHES ALL OUT
Their Appeal From the Decree
of Final Distribution Was
Dismissed.
General Hart Thinks the Litigation
Over B ythe's Millions Is Prac,
tically Ended.

A decision was rendered in the Supreme
Court yesterday which. according to Cen
eraI W. 81. ii. Harris view of the case,
practically marks the end of the litiga-
ton over the millions left by Thomas II.
Blythe. The Supreme Court granted the
motion to dismiss the appeal of H. T.
Blythe and others from the decree of final
distribution OF the estate of Thomas H.
Blythe upon the ground that the appel
lsnts, who are the gypsy Blythes, other
wise known as the Kentucky Blythes,
were not parties in interest in the pro-
ceedings.
The appellants, so reads the decision,
''are concluded by the decisions Of this
court upon their other appeals. They are
no longer parties in interest"
There is only one more case before the
courts of this State affecting the Blythe
estate, and the decision rendered bv the
Supreme Court to-day practically disposes
of that. The only remaining ease is the
appeal of the Blythe Company, which
stands on e same ground as the appeal
OF Ii. I. Blythe and others. Therefore
the litigation in tn State courts may be
considered to be at an end.'
Thus said General Hart last night and
he went on to say that the disposition of
the one matter concerning the Blythe es-
tate now before the United States Circuit
Court could not be in question. The Federal
court, learning of the final action of the
State courts concerning the appeals from
the decree OF final distribution, would I'M
doubleday take cognizance, for the Federal
courts do not over:urn the conclusions OF
the State courts in probate matters. The
matter IN the United States Circuit Court
will probably be concluded next Thursday
and then the Blythe litigation will end.
General Hart looked contentedly around
the handsome apartment in his home, in
which he was interviewed, and as he made
the foregoing stateme mt he went on to in
dulge in retrospection. THE Supreme
Court has now ended the twenty fourth
appeal, he said. Considering the mag
nitude of the litigation it is wonderful
that Judge Coffey has not been found in
error at all.
THE trial took 206 days; there were 129
claimants to the estate; 2 women claimed
to he the wife of Thomas H. Blythe; 10
groups of claimants attributed eacn
different mother TO Blythe, and 9 made
out prima facie cases, which gave him 8
mothers; 265 witnesses were examined !;
139 dispositions were taken, and there were
"a appeals. Yes altogether, in addition
to it's great size, 1t will be distinguished as
the most romantic lawsuit of modern
times"
General Hart spoke concerning another
interesting matter. He said that the at
torneys had decided not to form a COM
pany, as mad been rumored. On the con-
trary the estate would be divided, but he
did not care to say how. Nor could he
say just what effect this course would
have in reference 10 the proposed big

The interest in gold properties has greatly
increased. and far more development is
being done than formerly. Besides this
there are many buyers about hunting for
good property.
If miner really has something that
shows up well he stands good chance to
place it, but men who know mines do not
want TO spend good money on worthless
wildcats.
Colonel La Due says good deal OF work

There is shaft down eighty-fve feet

the La Due it shows DEVELOPMENT of 400

mining. IL is the intention to push the
development work on both, and also to
put up 10-stamp mill.

and have never seen mining so active as
now. In nearly all directions there is
something doing. There is q good feeling,
too, among property-owners.

A warm dispute arose as to whether the

was tie, and Manager Brown OF STAN

could not be got together for another
game, and that the faculty would object
anyhow.
A vote of seven to five was had by which
it was decided that the pennant should be
withheld until the teams could settle the
score, but President HUMPHREYS as well as
others thought this decision unfair, as

Pay for Our Neigh bors?' In the course
of his lecture he said:
"All men are not generous and there
are many who think they should not be
called upon TO pay for their neighb ors ,
pleasures or misfortunes.
THE citizen who has no property at
stake If called upon should not refuse to
contribute toward the support of fire de-
partment, and say, Why should pay for
others? WHY should | pay for the city s
water supplyP' says the man who has a
well on his own premises. He who never
walks the streets at night, in the smallness
of his soul wants to know why he should
be compelled 10 pay for light he never
walks by. Why pay for schools? says the
dyspeptic nature of the man who is with
out the comforting joy of children. why
pay to the support of religion p urges the
one who does not believe in synagogue or
church. Why not?
1--WE think all of these arguments Goth
false and ruiEous, for as soon as the want
is that of the community every individual
ought to feel it high and patriotic privi-
lege to contri butte his quota, each accord

ings with which God has blessed him,

STOLE HIS TRUNK.

Fred Cook Comes to Grief Through
Entering Another Mans House.
Fred Cook, the proprietor of saloon at
the corner of Twenty-ninth and Mission
streets, was locked up at the Seventeenth
street station last night on a charge OF
burglary preferred by James Dever, his
former landlord.
About, six weeks ago Cook left the
Dever domicile, taking the kew to the
front door, but leaving his trunk behind.
Thursday night Cook concluded he needed
his trunk, and accordingly made use of
the Key which he had the unfortunate
forethought to retain. Dever waxed
wrathy at this liberty and insisted on
warrant Tor burglary being issued, and
COOK was accordingly locked up.
