since his life Is not regarded as in dan,
ger, though ne suffers greatly from
shock and Will be laid up for some
time.
Not much is definitely known about
now the accident occurred, as the two
men were alone at the time and Wilson
mas not yet been able to tell what he
knows about it. All it has been posi-
BILE to learn, therefore, is what could be
ascertained by Foreman Davis of the
mine and Mine Inspector Hunter in the
examination they made after the acct
dent. The rest lis entirely theoretical.
Hohta and Wilson were at work in
the south crosscut of the S00-foot level
They were to put in a round of II holes
and blast them. This they undoubt-
eddy did, as was shown by the amount
of ground broken down, and lit appears
equally evident that they We're splitting
the fuses when the blast came. From
the condition of things as they We're
found by Messrs. Hunter and Davis
when they made their examination it is
supposed the two men put in their
round of holes and in making ready to
blast cut their fuses too short. with the
result that the first hole went off be-
fore they had time to finish splitting.
This conclusion is borne out by the lit
tie Wilson was able to say when he
was taken out. His mind was much
clouded and all 1t was possible to get
out of him was that he heard a blast
and was struck by flying rock He
jumped behind post of the first set
and remained there till the rest of the
holes went off and then made his way
out of the crosscut. He could remem-
Der nothing more, but from this it is
taken that Hohta was lighting the
fuses while Wilson was standing back
injury, while Hohta received the full
force of the blast.
The blast was heard by men at the
station, who knowing that Hohta and
Wilson had not come out, realized that
they must have been caught. They
could not go in at once, however, as it
would have been suicidal to attempt it
till the air had cleared. Presently Will
son came staggering out and their fears
We're confirmed. He was at once taken
to the surface and sent to the Boston

mon was summoned to attend him. AS

mains if dead. From what they had

A NOVEL HONEY MOON.
Bride and Groom Take a Room in the
Emergency Hospital.


One day last week young man and
younger woman strolled into the par
sonagc of the South Methodist church
and inquired for the pastor, Rev. ]. NJ.
Settle. That accommodating minister
responded with smile across his face,
for he anticipated something. The
couple were from the country. The
young man was the spokesman, and
the young woman was bashful. She
was dressed in "a bewitching silk gown
of summer hue, cut in the latest style
and trimmed to a nicely.
Il am glad to see you" said the pas
tor, by way of greeting. What can 1
do for you?'
The young woman looked at the car
pet and the young man looked at the
ceiling and replied:
viii you marry us?'
II will" answered the parson.
The knot was tied, and then the
young man asked the preacher if he
were not the manager Of the new
that the church was conducting the
hospital and that the pastor was the
manager, the young man asked:
Couldn't we have a room in the
emergency hospital?"
Well" replied the preacher, do you
think you'd like to spend your honey
moon in a hospital?"
Why not?" replied the benedict.
Its an emergency hospital. isn't it?
OF course we'd like to spend our hon.
eymoon there, wouldn't we?" And the
bride nodded an affirmative.
Rev. Mr.. Settle wrote out an order
to the head nurse of the hospital, re-
questing him to prepare a room for the
bride and groom. The couple remained
in the hospital for three days, and left
for their home in the country, much
pleased over their novel honeymoon.
