Fell Forty Feet.

Wm. Anderson, young man about twenty-two years old fell down raise distance of about forty feet this forenoon at the Treadwell mines. He was taken to the hospital and will probably be out in few days as his injuries are not supposed to be very severe. He has been employed at the mines for the past year and half.

Cant. Meln and the News.

We were pleased to meet Capt. Mein this morning for the first time. He is probably the best friend Alaska ever had. He inquired concerning the health and prosperity of the News, from which we inferred that the suc- cess of the great religious weekly was still question of doubt in his mind. The captain has spent so much of his time away from Alaska that we fear he is not giving our people credit for the push and enterprise they possess. Douglas City and Treadwell are giving the News liberal support-better than the paper deserves. Our people want churches, schools and newspapers, a dance occasionally and they are willing to pay literally to support these neces- sities and luXuries.

An Unexpected Bath.

MT. O'Connor in trying to jump from his sailboat onto the float at Juneau yesterday afternoon, jumped into the bay where the water was some ten feet deep. He went in all over, but, being warmly dressed, he did not mind it much. He finally pulled himself out and got into his boat and rowed home. He really seemed to have enjoyed the ducking he got and speaks in the high. est terms of the invigorating effects of salt water on the human system.

It GrieYes Us.

During the time we have been absent in Seattle, the editors of the Record and Miner have succeeded in working up feeling of hostility toward each other that is painful to the editor of the only religious paper in all Alaska, We left them, as we supposed, cemented together with bands of friendship that made the love of David and Jonathan pale into insignifcance. But such is the instability of human affairs.

Thousands of Acres of Farming Land
Under Water.

Minneapolis, Menu. Dec. ga spe-
cial to the Times from Tacoma, Wash.
says:
Heavy rains in the mountains. accom-
panied by chinook winds, have COM
bined to send an immense flood of
water coursing down Western Wash
ington rivers. The White, Stuck, Cow
litz. Chehalis. Skagit, Skohomish and
Nooksack are overlooking the lowlands
along their banks, doing great damage.
The big railroad bridge of the Belling-
ham Bay & British Columbia railroad
at Everson, a 115-foot span, went out
last night, together with several coun-
ty bridges.
Many farms in the Nooksack valley
are flooded and considerable stock has
been lost. Many RATS with shingle
bolts We're carried into Puget sound
and lost. At Deming all the families
on the waterfront We're compelled to
move and water covers the floors of
business houses. Thousands of acres
of the finest farming lands in Stuck

THE SILVER BRICK SUIT
Many Democrats Are in Favor of
the Idea.
TWO CASES NOW PENDING
Senator Morgan and Williams Have
Volunteered to Assist-The Cues
ton Will Be Discussed by the
Monetary League.

Denver, Colo, Dec. 24.-Judge A, W.
Rucker has returned from ST. Louis,
where he conferred with a number of
leading silver men of the country con-
corning the proposed silver brick suit
which is to be carried into the supreme
court Of the United States. The Judge
says no final plan was adopted, as it is
necessary to consult with others before
the movement Is put under way. He
found many democrats in sympathy
with the Idea, but Mr.. Bryan Is yet to
be heard from.
Judging by expressions of prominent
men who came to st. Louis to talk over
the question" said the judge the feel
ing is quite strong for the measure. 1t
WAS shown that two suits are now
pending, one from Michigan and the
other from Illinois, in which, perhaps
the same principles are to be decided
as IN the case which has been under
discussion. / was invited to go to
Washington and appear before the SUI
preme court in the two cases. 1t Is
possible that the whole question may be
determined in the opinions on the cases
now pending ~4
Senator Morgan Of Alabama and
George Fred Williams of Massachusetts
have volunteered to assist in the legal
fight without compensation, and others
are ready to do the same thing 1t is
necessary, however, to raise $4,000 or
$4,000 for expenses, and that is a ques-
ton which is to be decided soon"
Judge Rucker as president of the
monetary league, has called a meeting
of the league to be held in this city
next Tuesday evening. when the meth
DDS of procedure will be discussed and
also the best means of r" IL sg money
for the work. The indicate, are that
if new case is instituted II will not
be commenced in the name of the state
of Colorado. The ground taken is that
congress has no right under the con-
sttution to demonetize either gold or
silver, and therefore the act of 1878 is
void. Judge Rucker says he is "ecav
ing scores of letters from all parts of
the country indorsing the movement.

FLoGcING MEN BY ELEcTRlcirY
France Has a Substitute for the British
Cat a. Nine Tails

Cat a. Nine Tails.
From the Philadelphia Times
Some of the French newspapers have
been telling about the new method of
whipping men which had just been in
troduced eXperimentally into some of
the penitentiaries and colonies of
France. The instrument bears the
pleasing name of the electric cat" and
fElectrician expresses the scientific
opinion that it is great improvement
upon the Russian knout and the cat O
nine tails, which, it says, still unfor-
tunately figures in many penal colonies
and in the penitentiaries of so-called
civilized states.''
The method of this new whipping ma
chine is very simple and business-like.
The cuiprit who has been sentenced to
undergo the lash is tied to a post in
the usual manner Behind him is a
wheel driven by an electric motor,
velocity that is unpleasant for the vic
tim. The velocity may be regulated,
however, according to the severity of
the trouncing to be administered. At
tached to one of the spokes is whip
which swings around the circle and the
culprit is placed in such an anglewith
reference to the instrument of fiagella-
ton that every time it comes around
it nips him Squarely on the back,
1t is claimed for the new invention
that it dispenses justice impartially and
equally. 1t has no animus against the
prisoner, its blows are given with equal
intensity, and it better fulfills the idea
of even-handed justice than manual
tlogging, which is likely to distribute
penalties very unevenly.
