had it come three or four minutes later
it would be necessary to chronicle
frightful record of death. I was the
second runaway accident to occur in an
Anaconda mine during the day. the
cage at the Little St Lawrence having
run away early in the day. but this
was not attended by any very serious
consequences.
The big accident occurred three or
four minutes before o'clock last even
ing, when the men going on night shift
were about to be lowered. The cage
stood at the collar and the men were
sitting or standing about waiting for
the hour to strike. If these three or
four minutes intervening had passed
and the mishap had then come, some
10 or is men who would have been in
the cage would have gone down 500
feet to certain death. But a gracious
Providence interviewed and the extent Of
the accident can be measured in dollars
and cents, as neither of the two injured
men is expected to die.
The accident is attributed to the neg
ligence of two maChinistS who went 10
work at the change hour TO make some
slight repairs to the engine. Owing
to skip being attached to the three
deck cage, chairs are not used at this
shaft, and the cage was held at the
collar by the brake. The clutches were
not in, and, without throwing them in,
the machinists removed pin from one
Of the brake rods. Instantly the reel
was released and the cage and skip,
weighing several tons. shot down the
shaft. Engineer Hanley, who was on
the floor attending to his engine, flew
to his post and attempted to check the
reel, but it was no use, too much mo-
mentum having been attained, and the
further the cage went the greater be-
came the speed of the reel, and the
great wheel flew to pieces Great pieces
of the heavy cast metal flew in every
direction. tearing holes in the sides Of
the building and wrecking everything
with which they came in contact.
The miners who had been waiting to
go to work were between the hoist and
the gallows frame. When the iron mis-
siles began to fly those who were stand
ing rushed to a place of safety. but
Michael Cunning and James Cronin
were sitting down on the ground and
were unable to get out of the way in
time. Cunning was struck on the side

wondering if a great catastrophe had
happened. Providentially, it was less
serious than they feared.
At an early hour yesterday morning
the cage in the Little st. Lawrence ran
away. The engineer supposing the
chairs were in, released the clutches
while the cage was at the surface. The
cage dropped 700 feet, to the bottom of
the shaft, taking the rope with it. No
one was hurt and the greatest damage
consisted of smashing the cage.

4 Haunted House.

'tThe haunted house in this case, I"
said the old college man, twas occupied
by very estimable and intelligent
gentleman. He did not believe In
ghosts, but two nights had made him
look old and careworn and there were
certainly loud, strange and startling
noises in his attic. They would continue
right up to the time that some one en-
tered the haunted room, but the open
ing of the door was the signal for a
most oppressive silence.
Half dozen of us college fellows
asked permission to investigate, and it
was gladly granted. We waited till we
heard the noise, and assure you that
there was plenty of it. 1t continued un-
til we had crept up stairs, but ceased
when we entered the attic. We waited
there without result till big Hicks of
the football team, carried out plan.
We closed the slide to the dark lantern,
slammed the door noisily, as though
leaving. and then settled down TO wait.
Presently tho noise began We flashed
the light in its direction, and there was
jug rolling back and forth rapidly,
the handle striking the floor with a
loud thud
" Must be spirits in that jug,
laughed big Hicks, but his laugh was a
tremolo. We'll see, and he let go with
one of his famous kicks that shattered
the uncanny vessel Then every fellow
let out yell and jumped as though
trying to knock hole in the roof A
rat had crawled into the jug and had
been frantically trying to get out. -
