Bulletin-Chicago, April AT 1890
this morning the operator in the long
distance telephone office at Mt. Vernon,
Ind, informed the Associated Press
that the loss of life estimated at Shaw
neetown was two hundred The opera
tor stated that the company's wires to
the stricken city failed soon after four
o'clock In the afternoon. 1t was known
that the dam was giving way, but it
was not thought it would go to pieces
quickly enough to cause loss Of life. A
relief boat bearing food, blankets ana
surgeons was started down the river
and was expected to reach Shawnee
town before morning. Gradually the
reports of loss of life increased the es-
Inmates, stories coming from various
points near the scene of the flood show
ing clearly that the disaster was far
more serious than at first believed.
People from Mount Vernon and the
surrounding country besieged the tele-
phone and telegraph offices frantic for
tidings from relatives and friends in
the flooded town. No attempt at an
accurate list Of the lost was possible,
however, and the crowds stood all
night before the bulletin boards, on
which were posted the meagre reports
being received.

PRETTY AS A RED WAGON,

Our friend, H. B. Carter of the gen. eral passenger department of the Ca nadian Pacific sent us a copy of beau- tiful pamphlet entitled 'To the Klon- dike and gold fields of the Yukon," which was issued by the railway com pany. It contains twenty seven pages, is profusely illustrated, and is full of valuable information to the gold seeker. We are especially pleased to note that it contains a cut of Fort Wrangel. The covers are artistic, beautiful in fact, printed with bright red ink on gold bronze back. The Stuxeen route is ac- curately described by giving distances between the various points, besides q great deal of useful information to those going to the Yukon. A general dis tribution of this most valuable pam phlet among prospective Klondikcrs will bring ninety per cent of the travel by way of the Stikeen river, and that is just what ought to happen.

kETCHIKAN TO THE FRONT
X Correspondent Tells ofits Min
 ing Prospects
COMMUNICATED

kETCHTKAN, Alaska. Feb 3. 1t92. ing read in the papers about Alaska and it's resources. but little mention is made of the little town of kctchinan. or its surroundings. It may be said truthfully however, that there are just as good prospects ahead of the little unassuminy village. with its surround ings of mineral wealth. as some places in the range of our knowledge more of ten reported in print.
 We have properties in plenty within d few miles of town which will com pare with other mining centcrs with out blush, and they need no saltins to get good assays. There are groups within twelve miles of Us that will eclipse the world famed Treadwell in magnitude and value. Capitalists can get pretty much what they want here. be it free gold, concentrates, copper or galena, and in many places the four values combined.
 Our misfortune lies in the fact of our not having done sufficient development work to properly show what we have. That however will soon be remedied. as development will be pushed for all it is worth at an early date, when we will not be ashamed to compare values with any quartz mining district in AL aska for values in gold. silver. copper and lead. Our surface showings are as good as need be. Our enter prising merchants and proprietors. Mcssrs. Clark X Martin are extcnd- ing their new wharf. which when will have a frontage of lO4 feet, and to this will be a water supply from the perpetual snows of Deer moun- tain sufficient to supply all the steam CTS en route to points further north.
 We have the service of the Episco- pal church every Sabbath to well filled house. by Rev. Dr. A. J. Camp bell (of whom. more anOn) and q thriv- ing day school. Almost every boat brings one or two or more to try their luck in securing locations both in mines and home in Ketchikan.

TESl|N LAKE RAILWAY
Dominion Government Granting Large Tract of Land as Sub- 
 sidy for Its COnstructinn
Great force of Men coming to
 Complete the Road by Sep. J tember

sOTTAWA, Jan 26.---The continued presence in Ottawa for several days past, of Wm. Mann and Dan Mann is now explained. It is announced that the gentlemen have closed deal with the Government for the construction of railway either from Glenora or Tele- graph Creek, at the head of Navigation oh the Stikeen, to Callbreath's post on Teslin Lake, a distance of about 13O miles, whence there is uninterrupted navigation to Dawson, as engineer Jen- :ings' report shows. The line. which will be narrow guage one, will pass through an undulating country, where railway construction will be compara- lively easy.
 The exact details of the bargain are not yet officially announced, but ;t is understood that Mackenzie & Mann will get land subsidy. There will not be any cash subsidy. It is obligatory on the contractors that the line must be completed by September next, so as to permit of supplies being sent into the Yukon before next winter. As q guar antee of their ability to carry out the stipulation of the contract, Mackenzie < Mann have deposited with the gov ernment the sum of S250. GOO which will be forfeited should they fail. They in- tend going to work at once to purchase material and supplies. Before many days are over they will have nearly 10000 men enroute to the scene of op- erations. The intention is to draw sup plies by slcighs over the ice from the mouth of the Stikcen and from the point of commencement of the railway. First of all they will make good trail to Tesln. which will be available for tehc spring rush of miners. The Brit fish Columbia Government is under stood to be party to building the line. Close connection will be made with C. 4p. R. steamers on this route, and it is ,>,st unlikely that the company will op' crate the railway when built.

gram Announces the
Fate He Met

On Friday, last the eighteen n.year.old son
OF Anthony Pavloski, resident of West
Coal street and recently of Mt. Carmel, with
two boy companions Of about the same age
and named Gutlewicz and Peiunis. ran away
from home and started for New York city to
view the naval display. They made the
journey safely by Jumping freights" and
arrived IN the city in time to witness the
demonstration, after which they started
homewerd.
Saturday night, last they sought rest and
slumber in a freight car near Perth Amboy,
N. j. During the night Pavloski complained
of being cold and said he would seek a
warmer car. On leaving he left his coat be.
hind and his companions say they did not see
him again nor did they apparently make an
chort to seek him, but continued their
journey hUmeward and arrived here Sunday
night They had Pavloski's coat in their
possession and this led to suspicion. Gutla-
wicz and Peiunis were closely questioned by
the father of the missing boy and they told
the story as above given with the addition
that they had intended to hide the coat in
mine breach until Pavluski returned.
Absence Of his son and return Of the coat
served to perplex Mr. Pavlosk and cause
him much worriment, but yesterday the
speculation as to the whereabouts of the boy
was wiped out by sad intelligence conveyed
to the father by telegram from the railway
oihcials at Perth Amboy. 1t stated that
yesterday morning PavlOskis dead body was
found on a railroad track at that place
by some repairmen. No particulars
were furnished as tc the cause of
the death. The Identification was made

Resumed Operations.

Special to EVENING HERALD.
Centralia. Aug, 23.-After long idleness
the Centralia colliery, recently remodeled
and enlarged, resumed operations this morn
ing, giving employment to about 1000 men
and boys. The new machinery was tested
yesterday and worked to perfection. The
improvements at the Logan colliery are pro-
crossing, and it is said this colliery will also
resume work in the near future. With the
resumption of work at these collieries the
town will experience the long looked for
and anxiously expected boom. Many for
eigners have already began to locate here,
and houses which for many months have
been idle are now occupied, and in u short
time vacant houses will be scarce. Centraia
will soon again be one of the livelest towns
in the coal region.

Kingston Jamaica, Aug % Jamaica is
preparing plebiscite to the British parlia-
ment, requesting permission to arrange for
annexation of the island to the United States.
1t is believed that this movement is
prompted by the impending annexation to
the United States of Cuba and Porto Rico.
Such an annexation would practically ruin
the markets of Jamaica, as products which
she exports would go from Cuba and Porto
Rico free of duty into the United States after
the annexation, and therefore Jamaica
would be shut out of competition.
