A mar residing in the State OF Wash
ington had some smokeless powder and,
understanding that its strength was far
ahead OF the common black powder, he
loaded Il shell with about one-half the
usual quantity, and took his rifle to test
the powder by shooting at II target. He
took aim and pulled the trigger, but
what happened he did not realize for a
few minutes. The discharge had blown
the gun into Il hundred pieces or more,
and parts OF it were picked up afterward
over 200 ieet away. The damage done
was the decorating OF his hand badly,
tearing Il hole through a dog, and II por-
ton OF the stock striking II b~ystander on

Sheerer's Shotgun Explodes.

Monday morning shortly after Ed.
Sheerer quit work he loaded some shells
with a new powder and went back OF
his house to try a cartridge or two. At
the first discharge the gun exploded at
the breech and the pieces Of flying wood
and steel struck Sheerer in the face. 1t
is not known how seriously he is injured
but he has five or six cuts in his face
principally on the right side OF it and it
is thought that several bones are. broken.
The breech OF the gun was badly torn
and twisted AMI the gun stock near the
breech was badly splintered. The bar
rels suffered no damage. The gun weigh
ed ten and II half pounds and is ol l.. c.
Smith make.
Shterer used u new powder called the
"Gold Dust" and he was told when he
bought it that it was double the strength
OF ordinary guupowder. He loaded the
shells with four drains OF powder, n
charge sufficient for Il small cannon A
piece OF steel from the breeeh struck
him a gIancing blow over the right eye,
tearing a ragged wound in. which DR..
Jackman put nine stitches, then the
piece struck IA fence about ten feet dis
tant, making quite an indentation, and
then bounded seventeen f%eetaway. Had
the piece struck Sheerer square in the
forehead it would have killed him in
stantly.
Billy Callahan was with Sheerer when
the accident happened, He says when
the explosion occurred the barrels of the
gun dropped TO the ground and Sheerer
c ,vering his face with his hands sank to
his knees. Callahan ran to him and
saw his face was very bloody. He pull :
ed Eds hands away from his face to see
if his eyes were hurt and was much re-
lieved to find they were not.
Slleerer left that evening for the S. P.
Hospital at sacramento. We all hope
that he will soon recover.

THE KLONDIKE TRAIL
1t Is Bad as Ever In Spite of tho
Miners Efforts.
VIGILANCE COMMITTEE IN CONTROL.
It Ordains That All Travellers Must DO
Their Part Toward Clearing Away
the Terrible blockade at
skagguay.

Seattle, Wash, Sept. 6.-An efforts TO
break the blockade at Skagguay have
failed utterly. Advices received by the
steamer Rosalie, which left Skagguay
Monday last and arrived here yester-
day, state that when the trail was
opened Monday morning 1000 men and
horses We're striving to get through.
The path was in as bad a condition as
It was before being repaired. When
the road had been corduroyed over the
miry places, the logs slipped out and
horses went floundering in the mire,
many OF them never to emerge.
These statements We're made by Har-
ry Fredericks, well known in this city,
who spent some weeks at Skagguay.
He says that hundreds of those at
Skagguay have given up all hope of
getting through this winter and will
stay till February at the foot Of the
pass. Hundreds are coming back from
the trails, stopping at Skagguay or Ju-
neau for the winter.

SEPARATE WAGE SCALES.
These W n Be Formed For Each Mine
In Hopes of Preventing Strikes.


Pittsbrrg. Sept Expectations are
high in coal mining circles over the
probable resumption of work in the
mines throughout the country.
In anticipation of a settlement at Co
lumbus next Wednesday another plan
has been suggested by a representative
of one Of the largest operators, which
Will be agitated Immediately after the
men return to work 1t will be formu-
lated and submitted to the joint con-
vention Of operators and miners which
Il is proposed TO hold next December.
IN order to come to an understanding
on all questions at issue separate wage
scales are to be formulated for each
mine. The scale is to be an adjunct TO
the uniformity agreement which is ex-
pected TO be in force.
The proposition will be made by the
operators in the hope Of getting all the
safeguards possible against a probable
strike. 1t is we'll known that there are
no two mines in the entire district
where the conditions are exactly alike.
The uniformity agreement covers the
general points, but even with it in ex-
istence some operators would be sub
jected to difficulties while others would
have special advantages. The scale is
to cover all these points, the primary
object being to avert difficulties. create
a more friendly feeling between the
employees and employers and restore
perfect harmony throughout the dis
trict.
Philip Stambaugh, a cousin or Presi-
dent Mckinley and a partner in the
firm Of Osborne, Saeger & Co., has been
in Pittsburg. He said the men former
ly employed in the Eclipse mine on the
Wheeling division of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad would be asked to go tc
work at the 65 cent rate. He was not
prepared to say how many men would
go TO work.

Victoria, 3. c.. Sept 6.-The steamer
Queen arrived from Skagguay, bringing
80 men, who have given up the idea of
getting across the passes. A thousand
men have gone to work on the Skag-
quay trail to try to open it up no one
being allowed meantime TO go through
Many men will wait until snow falls
and take outfits over on slelghs. In
fact, sleighs are already being used to
cross the summit on Dyea trail There
have been 20 desertions from the United
States ship Concord at Juneau. the men
leaving to go to the mines.
r. NJ. Losikatos, who went into the
Klondike last spring, sends out word to
his partner Mr. Hens of Juneau. that
he has struck IL rich. He says: II sunk
two prospect holes without finding any
thing. but in the third 1 could pick up
nuggets with my hands. I am so ex-
cited that / cannot write. We are rich.
The amount of gold that people have
here is something appalling"
Among the passengers who arrived
on the Queen from Skagguay was
Frank /. Champion of Mount Vernon,
Wash. He went up to look over the sit
uation and took a trip over both passes.
He SAYS that the killing Of horses was
caused largely by novices who do not
know how to load them. In many in
stances the pack saddles are allowed to
wear great holes in the horses back.
The men who are fixing the trail win
be the first 70 profit by It. This has
been decided by the vigilance commit
tee, and no man can go on the trail
with packs without a certificate from
the secretary that ne has done so much
work on the trail. One man whom Mr.
| Champion saw had got nearly all OF
his outfit over when the trail was clos
ed for travel. The committee refused
TO let him take the remainder Of his
pack over. His .entreatles did no good
In desperation he went back and got a
winchester rifle and two revolvers and
held up the committee and went
through At Dyea and the Chilkat pass
the conditions are much the same as on
the Skagguay trail.

A Letter From sknrguar.

Seattle. Wash, Sept. 6.-The follow
ing letter has been received from Skag-
quay Alaska, dated Aug. 2s
Sylvester Scovel, n New York news
paper correspondent, landed yesterday
morning at Skagguay by a specially
chartered tug from Juneau with two
tons of blasting powder and the neces-
sary tools to equip seven complete crews
for rock work on the Skagguay trail
and as fast as horses and men could get
at it II was started 20 the front.
In the evening there was a meeting
at the foot of the first hill, attended by
over 500 miners, who organized for the
work in front of them and elected an
executive committee, consisting Of
James Christie Of Portland, president
Philip Adams. secretary; c. A. Cramer
Of Seattle. Mr.. Heacock and Mr. Day
as superintendents. who selected expe-
rienced men for the work on the rock
hills and veteran loggers for the work
of corduroying the muddy places.
There were 30 Canadian mounted po-
lice also on the trail They have pitched
in with a good viii and say that the
building of this trail VIII enable them
to get in the 20 tons of provisions in
time to build and provision the mail
stations in their territory so that they
can operate dog teams all winter. and
they agree to deliver the mail every two
weeks from the Klondike to the Amer
lean line. Work Is in progress for 10
miles along the trail, and all packing
has been suspended until it is COM
pleted.
There have been some kiclers, as usu-
al. but they are so much in the nil
nority that they have had to submit

pecting to get over for at least 80 days.
as IL will take that long after the trail
is completed to get all the miners over
who are now there. There would never
have been so much trouble for small
parties. but the swarm Of people. 80
per cent of whom were tenderfeet and
knew nothing about packing and noun
taineering. has been the cause Of con-
Eestion at this point.
The first reports about this trail were
inspired by in treated parties who are
trying to start a town here and who
are also in the whisky business.

sim Another Fatai Train wreck.

ing, wherein one person was killed and
30 wounded. of whom several are In q
serious condition, with slight hopes OF

THe TEsTINe oE SUGAR.
Regulations Prepared Governing Sam
pies Under the New Law.

Washington. Sept. G.-The treasury
department has prepares the regula-
tions governing the sampling and
classification of imported sugars and
molasses under the new tariff law. one
OF the principal and most important
OF the changes made in the old regu-
lations, which were made I'm 1888. is a
provision requiring that the "resample"
of sugars shall he taken at the time
the original sample is taken. This pro-
vision has been deemed expedient to
prevent any suspicion of irregularity.
Many new provisions are also included
in the regulations. with the object Of
securing uniformity at the different
laboratories where sugars are tested.
As soon as the change can be made
only the half shadow polarscope Will
be employed I'm making tests instead Of
the color Instruments now In use. and
all instruments and apparatus will be
standardized by the officials of the coast
and geodetic survey I'm order TO secure
uniform results The tests for the classi-
fication cf sugars have been changed so
that the average tests agreeing within
two-tenths of l per cent shall govern
the classifcations. Under the act of
1883 the determining test was the low
est Of two tests agreeing within three
tenths of a degree. This change was
made because the present law provides
for a sliding scale Of duties on fractions
OF degree and because II was believed
that this method, which follows the
commercial practice win be fairer to
all concerned.
Warrant for this change was obtained
from an opinion rendered by the solicit
or Of the treasury. All that portion ap-
plying TO polarization by chemists is
new. and It Is believed by the DEPART
ment that It will give the government
the benefit OF scientific methods which
have greatly improved since the act Of
1888. The regulations were prepared
by a committee OF experts. which in
cluded the chemists Of the agricultural
department. officers of the internal rev.
enue bureau and the experts of the
coast and geodetlc survey.

AT THE POINT OF REvoLvERs
Train on the Union Pacific Held Up In New
Mexico and Express safe Robbed.

Fort Worth, Tex, Sept. "a train
on the Union Pacific, Denver and Cult
railroad was held up seven miles south
of Folsom and 43 miles north. Of the
Texas line in New Mexico, arriving
here over two hours late.
Charles p Drew. the Pacific Express
company's messenger, tells the story of
the holdup, which was very daring,
very businesslike and thoroughly sue
cessful:
I'VE left Folsom on time, and about
seven miles south Of there the engineer
and fireman were hailed by two men
who crawled over the tender. with lev
eled revolvers they commanded the
trainmen to hold up their hands
They did so. The engineer then
ran the engine to a point they
indicated, where the train was stopped.
Then they turned their attention
to me-that is, they came back
and crawled into my car. had opened
the door when the train stopped, and
two other men, who were at that point.
covered me with their revolvers and
tried to make me open the safe. l had
a little fight with them before that and
was knocked down twice and have a
very sore head and a bad punch from
the muzZle of a gun in my ribs. I made
the best fight I could. They said they
would kill me if l did not open the safe.
I told them they would have to kill me,
as l could not open the safe and would
not if 1 could.
Then they used dynamite. firing
three shots, two sticks in each of the
first two and four in the last. The
through safe was blown to pieces and
they got what was in it. Much Of the
baggage, for 1t was a combination car,
was ruined and the car so badly
wrecked that we had to drop it at the
first place where we could get a freight
car, into which the express and bag
gage was transferred.
The men were all masked. wore
white hats. flannel shirts. pants in
boots and certainly did not look like
cowboys / have no idea Of the amount
Of money they secured"
Superintendent Case of the Pacific
Express company said that he had just
had message from superintendent
Webb of the Gulf road, which stated
they had several posses after the rob
bers. They thought they knew them
and the prospects for capturing them
were good.

what favor the proposition of the Pitts
