TWO NARROW ESCAPES
Mining Accidents That Game
t-5.- Near Being Fatal.
MINERS SEVERELY HURT
Fall of Rock Pins Patrick Daugherty to
the Ground = Explosion OF Caps
May Result in the Loss OF
Arthur Boyle's Eye.

Two mining accidents which came
couple of miners were reported yester-
day. In fall of ground in the Specu-
lator, Patrick Daugherty had thigh
broken and barely escaped being crush
ed to death. BY an explosion Of caps
in the magazine at the Diamond, Ar
thur Boyle had his head, body and
hands terribly laeerated and may suf-
fer the loss of one eye. That he was
not blown to atoms seems quite remark
able.
on the sixth floor of the 800 level of the
Spectator. Yesterday at noon round
of holes was fired and Daugherty, with
half a dozen other Workmen. on the
same floor, went back half an hour
later to shovel back the ore. There
was not yet room for a set of timbers
and Daugherty sounded the ground and
found 1t apparently all right as far up
as he could reach, but there was piece
of ground further up which he could
not sound. However. it did not look
bad, and he concluded to go ahead. He
began shoveling and had worked about
half an hour when a fall of ground
came from the place he had been I'M
able to sound. A huge piece of rock
struck him on the left thigh and pinned
him to the tagging. His companions
ran to him. rolled off the rock and re-
moved him from his perilous position.
He was taken to St James hospital,
where 1t was found the thigh had been
crushed and broken. An instant before
the fall came. Daugherty had been in a
STOPPING position. Had he remained in
this attitude when the rock came down.
it would have fallen on his back and
there is little doubt he would have been
killed.
Arthur Boyle was powdernan al the
Diamond mine. On Monday he went
to the magazine on the 1850 level to get
powder for the miners. While there he
concluded to take account of what was
in the magazine for the purpose of re-
plenishing He stuck his candlestick
into timber, just above some boxes of
primers. 1t Is supposed a spark from
the candle dropped into a box of the
caps, as Boyle had only began to look
around when there was an explosion
and the magazine was filled with flying
particles of the metal of which the caps
are made. The explosion attracted as
sistance and Boyle was taken out of
the magazine more dead than alive.
He was sent to st. James hospital,
where DIR. Alexander dressed his inju-
ries, and in doing so, extracted several
pieces of metal which had been deeply
imbedded in the flesh. The whole face
and head, The body from the waist up
and theRhands were frightfully lacerat-
ed, tsand pne eye was SO. badly injured
that DR.. Alexander does not expect to
cave it. In all probability. only the fact
that there was but very little powder
in the magazine. and that well removed
from the caps, saved bad disaster

PENNSYLVANIA sENATORSHlP.
Congressman sibley Issues an Open Letter
to Democrats.

to Democrats.
Harrisburg, Pa, Feb. 2S.-Congress-
man-Elect Joseph c. Sibley, of Frank
lin, who came here to-day to take part
in the contest for United States sena-
tor, has issued an open letter to the
democrats of Pennsylvania giving the
opinions expressed in letters written to
him by democratic senators at Wash
ington. Mr., Sibley says: Time did not
afford me opportunity to call on more
than few and in no instance was there
expressed contrary opinion"
He did not carry the request for opin-
ions into the house of representatives,
except in the case of Congressman
Bailey of Texas. who says In his letter
that 'if the reformers will not vote for
a clean and good democrat in prefer
ence to Senator Quay, whom they de-
nounce so vigorously. then the demo-
cratic members of the legislature should
break away from the unho1y alliance
and vote for Senator Quay, If that is
necessary to re-elect."
Mr. Sibley has letters expressing
practically the same sentiment from
Senators Jones of Arkansas, Vest of
Missouri, Stewart of Nevada, Morgan
of Alabama, Daniel of Virginia, Mitch
ell of Wisconsin. Faulkner of West Vir-
ginia, Allen of Nebraska, Gray of Del
aware, Tillman of South Carolina, ex
Senator Blackburn of Kentucky and
Representative Livingstone of Georgia.

ton should have had large experience,
with depth of character, noble instinct.
and a genuinely warm affection for
boys in trouble. He should be firm but
not lordly. patient, but not over-ween-
ing, painstaking, but not coddling. His
should be the highest motives. working
not for reputation and a good salary,
yet his remuneration should be ample
and his moral support unt1inching.
Above all he should be a father who
looks into the future with bath fear
and hope. Fear that the awful reali-
ties might overwhelm his boy, hppe that
his efforts will save for future useful
ness the boys of his fellow citizens,
neighbOrs, and friends. His assistants
should be men and women CT courage,
hope. perseverance, and determination
to improve the local conditions of So
ciety.
ITO such school well located for the
reception of boys from this city and
Anaconda could be sent those who by
truancy or neglect. or INSTRUMENTATION

for the criminal and vicious class, for
they can he sent to the State Reform
School, but for those who have not
committed overt acts which make SEN

mission to the Industrial school could
be by two methods. viz: First-On ap-
plication of parents. Second-On ap-
prehension of truant officer. assisted

legitimate excuse for being out Of

provisions should be made in the es-
Establishment of the school to board and
lodge such boys as have no homes and
those who cannot be made to stay at
home of nights 1t is surprising the
number of parents who are unable tC
control their boys and cannot keer
them home at nights even.
1T is not in the province of this ar
ticle to discuss the cost of equipment
and maintenance of such a school, but
suffice it to say that the community
would be repaid many times over the
outlay by diminished crime, reduction
of the criminal class, and by the gem
eral tuning up Of the city. AS it now .
many parents are fastening their So
journ here. for they want to live where
It is more conducive to raise the boys,
and where the boy may have a chance.
In other articles I hope to place the
needs, plans and methods more fully
before the public. Let the subject be
well agitated and a start lrade this

vital question:

paragraph of Admiral Sahley's state

that there had been unfair discrimina-

UNSUCCESSFUL.
Effort to Confirm Advancement of Samp-

Effort to Confirm Advancement of Samp-
son and scl,iey Fails.
Washington, Feb. 2S.-Another un-
successful effort was made in the exec
utive session of the senate to confirm
the nominations advancing Admirals
Sampson and Schley and other officers
who participated in the Santiago cam
paign This result was due to the OBJ
jections of Senators Butler. Pettigrew
and Stewart, who talked through the
executive session, thus preventing the
taking of a vote. Senator Butler made
the principal speech of the session. He
based his objection to the advancement
of Sampson upon revelations of the
published records of the two officers,
referring with especial emphasis to the
fact that Admiral Sampson had himself
been responsible for Admiral Schleys
remaining at Cienfuegos.
Mr.. Butler charged that the dispatch
making this order had been suppressed,
and he asserted that it must have been
concealed in Mr.. SIMPSONS behalf. At
any rate. the conduct of Sampson in
giving the order and then holding
Schley responsible for the delay was
conduct unworthy of any man and un-
becoming an officer, and Mr.. Butler
said he could never give his assent to
the confirmation of the nomination of
any man guilty OF such treatment of a
SuDUfulIale lIe presentation CT InlS
point led to a controversy as to WHISTLER
Sampson had ever issued the order Sen
ator Foraker appeared especially anxi-
Gus to secure confirmation or denial of
this accusation, indicating his opposi-
ton if it was based upon correct infor-
nation. He wanted to know why, if
such an order had been issued, it had
not been included in the record of
the two officers sent to the SEN
ate by the secretary of the Eavy.
To this, friends of Sampson replied
that it was to be presumed that it
would have been if such an order had
ever been issued. Especially must this
be true in view of the fact that Admiral
Schley's flag officer, Lieutenant Sears.
had been a member of the board which
had compiled the information supplied

He opened the china closet. The first
thing he saw was a japanned box bearing
a label informing him there was nothing
but plated ware inside, all the solid silver
having been stolen by a previous bur-
glar.'
He explored the box and all the shelves
thoroughly, but there was nothing worth
stealing. Cautiously opening the door on
his right he stepped into the kitchen. An
other card confronted him. He turned up
the gas and read:

He went to the pantry and closed the
window. returned to the dining room and
explored the sideboard.
Every drawer had a card inside with a
written inscription informing him that
the previous burglar had carried away all
the gold and silver keepsakes and other
articles of real value, but he was welcome
to whatever he could find that suited
him.
Turning away from the sideboard, he
was about to enter the back parlor, when
he distinctly heard an alarm clock. 1t
seemed to be in one of the rooms above.
He ran to the side door. opened 1t and
stepped out.
The door closed behind him with a snap
and a sort of iron cage descended from
above, enclosing him as securely as If he
