but the Committee of One Hundred will
not disband or retire from the field I'M
til another battle has been fought.
Only forty-five of the original one
hundred responded when the roll was
called. Conflicting reports as TO the
time of the meeting, no doubt, con-
fused and kept away several members,
A few days ago the Examiner an
nounced that the meeting would be on
Thursday evening of this week at Ma
tive Sons Hall. Yesterday morning The
Call correctly announced that the COM
mittee would meet Wednesday even
ing.
Early in the week one faction of the
convention manipulators prepared a
programme to brick all but twenty
five of the committee, but the scheme
was not sprung last night for the sim
pie reason that q cOunter-Scheme TO
enlarge the membership was known to
be ready for introduction. 1t was also
perceived by the shreWdest members Of
the organization that a fractional fight
before full possession of the works had
been obtained might lead to future
complications, hence harmony pre-
vailed. The members were in a happy
frame of mind and became so delighted
over Larry Hoey's style of reading that
they gave him recall.
Among members of the committee
who were not present last night are
A. COmte Jr., Barry Baldwin, James V.

There was a meeting last night of the
City and County Democratic Commit
tee, the organization known as the
Committee of One Hundred. The ses-
sion was brief, but its brevity did not
obscure the fact that the members of
the committee have resolved to hold
fast to the reins of power. Remon-
strances and protests may como from
the great mass of the unwashed against
the perpetuation Of the committees au-
thority, but no heed will be paid to the
cry of the masses. Buckleyites may

House Burned.

Last Monday evening, about $50, the
house occupied by Henry Goff, in Rich
Valley was destroyed by fire, together
with contents, entailing quite loss to
Mr.. Golf, who was away from home, at
work at Cross Forks, where he is con-
Quoting a lumber job. Mr.. Golf had
no insurance. The building was owned
by w. Fl. Howard who carried an in
surance for loss. Mrs Libbie Housler
was taking care of the house and after
seeing that all was apparently safe,
went to her brothers, A. w. Lewis, to
stay over night. She lost her clothing,
cooking utensils, etc. The cause of the
fire is a mystery.

Serious Accident.

About two o'clock Tuesday afternoon
one of the most serious and painful ac-
cidents that ever occurred at the saw
mill of @. B. Howard & Co.. happened
when N. J. Swartz, who is employed
about the gang saw, received injuries
that may prove fatal or result in maim-
ing him for life.
While Mr.. Swartz was in the act of
removing a piece of wood from be-
tween the gang saws and was using a
long steel bar to accomplish this end,
the supposition is that the bar was
caught by some part of the gang when
on its downward stroke, giving the bar
a terrific jerk, throwing Mr. Swartz in
the air and causing him to fall back
wards onto some uncovered gear. The
blow rendered Mr.. Swartz unconscious
and when his fellow-workmen hurried
to his aid they found blood squirting
from ghastly cut on the side of his
head and his left eye terribly discovered
and swollen.
Mr.. Swartz was hastily removed to
the home of his brother, VIM. Swartz,
on Maple street, where medical aid was
summoned and the extent of his in
juries was ascertained and his wounds
dressed by Dr. Bardwell, in the absence
of DR.. Heilman, the family physician.

Resumed Work.

G. B. Howard & Company's mill re-
sumed operations last Monday for the
season. They expect busy year and
orders are coming in rapidly. 1t is
predicted that the present will be a
prosperous year among lumbermen.
The domestic demand for lumber for
building purposes is certain to be large,
while the requirements for furniture
of all kinds in Cuba and Puerto Rico
will draw largely upon the hardwood
production of the country. A busy
season among the mills and factories
means a prosperous time among the
workingmen, and it is hoped that the
increased demand for lumber and its
products will be realized. The adj
vance in the price of hemlock makes
the lumbermen of this region feel par
ticularly encouraged This important
industry has at least ten years more
lumber to manufac ture and will give
employment to many hundreds of
workmen.
