Kreleg Had His Leg Broken at the Par
rot Mine.

Andrew Kreleg, an employe of the Par
rot mine had his left leg fractured in the
knee Joint by a peculiar accident yester-
day. II was put on as station tender and
was not very familiar with the work. He
stopped at the 1000 level and then went
to the surface. Then he started down
again to go to the bottom. When he
reached the 1000 level the cage stopped
with a terrific jolt and Kreleg was
thrown to the floor of the cage with such
violence as to cause the fracture. Kre,
les thinks that in his inexperience he
must have forgotten to throw out the
chairs at the 1000, as they We're found to
be in after the accident. The cage was
badly damaged. Kreleg was taken to the
Sisters hospital, where his injury was
attended to by Dr. Alexander.

TESTING A MARINE BRAKE.
Consul johnson at Venice Reports on
Interesting Trials.

Naval officers and shipping men generally
| are showing great interest in a series of
experiments recently conducted at Fiume
Austria, by the director of the Lloyd ship
| yards. The experiments tested the efficiency
| of an invention by Hungarian engineer,
| Mr. Svetkovich, for stopping vessels under
| full steam. An interesting report in regard
| to the experiments has been made to the
State Department by Consul johnson at
| Venice. The Austrian Lloyd placed the
towboat Clotilde at the disposal Of the in
ventor, and three trials were made to test
the invention under different conditions.
The invention, which is called a marine
brake, is a sort of parachute made of fine
steel spring plates, which when out of use.
| fit into one another and hang above water
For the first trial the apparatus was at
| tached to the stern of the Clotilde and the
| vessel put under full steam. When maxi
mum speed was attained-in Austrian reclz-
oning, nine miles hour-the retaining
hook was released and the parachute plung-
ed into the water. with a scarcely per-
ceptible Shock" says Consul Johnson ''the
vessel came to a standstill in thirty feet.
1t was found however, that the rods and
guys supporting the brake were badly
strained. If they had not yielded the shock
would have been much more severe. The
fact that the supports did yield did not
brake, but was attributed to the provisional
character of the arrangements.
The second trial was designed to show
how far the vessel would proceed when her
engines were stopped at full speed. no
brake being used. The distance was found
to be 300 yards.
The third trial measured the forward
movement when the engines were reversed
at full speed ahead to full speed astern.
This time the Clotilde stopped in sixty
yards.
While the second and third trials were in
progress the marine brake was refitted
with more powerful supports, and a fresh
experiment was made. This time the ves-
sci stopped almost instantly.
These results, while hardly to be consid-
cred valid for the powerful ocean liners
with which the necessity for quick stop
is occasionally so crucial, indicated that an
important principle has been introduced
among marine safeguards The Austrian
Lloyd Company is awaiting with interest
the results of an Improvement which Mr.
Svetkovich wishes to add to his device and
seriously contemplates equipping its great
fleet with the useful apparatus.

The Republican Losses.

While the republican losses have BEEN
considerable, the party still retains most of
it's leaders. The party has lost some very
capable men. hut they are not those who
have been so conspicuous either for eccen-

ness who went out of office today is John
son of Indiana. His recent speeches prove

from the strict party discipline for which
the majority is conspicuous, but while lis
attacks upon expansion and the admins

a great display of ability. Three most con-
spicuous losses on the republican side are
from Massachusetts,. One is Walker who
has been unique figure since he entered
Congress with the determination 20 never
be anything but frank and outspoken. An
other is Barrett, who had some ideas about
Congress that he wanted to test, and which
seem to have possessed good deal of the

of their states.

them at the last election are men who
have served but the one term and are al
most unknown, some having hardly become
acquainted in the House itself. Among
them. however, are some who have figured
prominently in public affairs have won
regulations in one way or another.
What death has done the country mourns
over. The loss of Dingley will be felt in
other Congresses, as it was in this.
Democrats Have Lost Most.
The democrats have lost most in the turn
of the wheel of politics. Some of their best
known men will not be in the Fifty-sixth
Congress. Sayers is governor of Texas;
Mcmillan is governor of Tennessee, and
Dockery will go out Of Congress tomorrow,
possibly to become governor of Missouri
after the next election. Mcguire retired to
run for governor of California and was
defeated. Hartman. who is a democrat to
all intents and purposes, retired to insure
the election of a silver man from the silver
state OF Montana. and was not elected to
the Senate, as democrats throughout the
country except in Montana thought he
would. King of Utah retired in hopes of
becoming a senator, and is evidently going
to be disappointed, and Mark Smith retires
because he was tired of being a delegate
and could not see into the time when Ari
zona would become a state and he a SEN
ator. The noted populist losses are Simp-
son and Howard. Simpson, who first came
into note through being known as the sock
less Jerry. has won reputation in Con-
gress, entirely aside from what the public
may think of him, of being an unframed
genius, with much native wit and intelli-
gence. Howard is conspicuous for never
having done anything to attract attention
to himself except to write "If Christ Came
to Congress" The reputation won through
that book was such as to lead his col
leagues to look for nothing more from him.
