SIX Miners Dashed to Death.

A terrible accident occurred in X
shaft of the Lake Superior mine at Ish-
peming by which six miners lost their
lives. Nine men of the night shift
started up the shaft from work, but
when Is feet from the surface the car
stopped, and on investigation it was
found that only three injured men
were in the car and that the other six
had been hurled to the bottom of the
shaft to death. 1t is said that one of
the wheels of the car broke at the fifth
level, but whether the men were
hurled out or jumped is uncertain.

Only two companies remain at Fort

Mimi, a portion of it being intended
to police Walker Lake, where the
Chippewas made war last fall; one to
Fort Crook, Omaha, and two to Fort
Sheridan, Chicago. 1t is evident from
this arrangement of the Seventh that 1T
is to do garrison duty for some time to
come and that nearly all other regular
regiments will GO abroad while the
Seventh keeps house for them. For
the present, regimental headquarters
will be at Fort Wayne.

Col. Irish n Candidate for Senator
81. Ionia Prisoners Escape.

Six prisoners escaped from the state
house of correction by bold and
clever plan. They were convalescents
confined in the hospital, and cut their
way through partition wall to the
knitting shop, adjoining. Then with
a long ladder from the shop they scaled
the northwest corner of the outside
wall. A blizzard prevailed and this
aided the convicts in their escape.
The bowling wind deadened what lit
tie noise they made, and the drifting
snow covered their tracks. There is
no trace of the men. They are as fol-
lows: Frank Edison, sent from Eaton
county, November, 1896, for five years
for robbery; Frank Fisher, Macomb
county, July, 1898, one year, breaking
and entering in day time; Lewis Fer
guson, Branch county, December, 1898,
four years, burglary; VIM. Smith, De-
cember, 1897, Calhoun county, three
years, burglary; James Miller, Cass
county, April, 1897, four years, bur-
glary; John Hubbard, Montcalm
county, January, 1898, two years,

Stephen Sprague, Mason's father testi-
fed that his son had confessed to him

shot his victim twice with revolver
Then he rifled the pockets and took the
body some distance from the bridge

Building and Loan Associations.

The annual report of the secretary
of state on Michigan building and loan
associations shows that 76 associations
are doing business in this state and all
are reported in good conditions. The
total assets at the date of the report
were $40, ss5, 70s.15 as against S11, 231,-
246.O1 for the year preceding, the diff
ference being 1854, 537. Sc. The history
of the collapsed Alpena Loan & Build
ing association is gone into, and the
cause of the downfall is attributed to
"incompetency and recklessness on the
part of its former management, fol-
lowed by heavy defalcations of it's Sec
rotary" 1t is thought it will be able
to pay 100 cents on the dollar. The
secretary of state makes some valuable
recommendations for the government
OF the associations.
