quietly and during the afternoon ten
of them called for their line and We're
paid off.
The management expects three
fourths of its employees to show up for
work tomorrow morning.
In explaining the conditions that
have led up TO the order for exchange.
Secretary Grant of the company said
that stealing had been going on for
three years. hat is, before Mr.. STRAIT
ton sold the mine to the English syndi-
cate. "StrattOn employed Il detective
at II high salary TO prevent it, without
much success, but lately the ore steal
ing has been increasing at a great rate.

per month. and some of the men have
become so bold that they boast of it
on the outside. one of the assayers in
Victor manufacturers belts by whole
sale. which he sells to other assayers,
and they give them to the miners TO
fill with ore. These belts will hold ten
pounds of ore. The rock Is worth from
81 to $50 per pound
Mr.. Grant exhibited one of these
belts, an ingenious cOntrivance, eight
inches wide, with cloth pockets all
around the outside and n flannel lining
to 90 next to the skin. Many of these
belts, he said, are known to be worn i'll

Mr.. Grant told of n Waterman who
had been detected while letting men
into the ore house at night for the pur-
pose of robbery, and added that ar
engagements had been made to prevent
n repetition of losses in that manner.
He explained the allusion TO men job
bling one another, saying it had be
come a common pSactice for the guilty
to accuse innocent men and procure
their discharge.
The management of the min has
consulted the officers of the Victor and
Altman Miner unions and have as
that the unions will not in

Some of the unions declare hat they
will not submit to the order.

There is such a thing as too much
realism. They are trying to have a
David Harum Day at Tullay Lake
Park, near Syracuse, where the ia
nous "hoss trade" scene is to be read
by n professional impersonator. But
the farmers in that region h were
buncoed by the real David, and who
have never seen the humor or the
merit in the book, are vigorously pro-
testing, and the chances are the day

impossible to put it on in manner

the play was so real that it needed but
a slight effort to imagine oneself in the

town. and especially so when the loco
motive with its glazing headlight, and
sending forth jets of steam from the
smokestack crossed the stage. With
this for the climax of the third act the

EVIDENCE OF GOOD TIMES.
Scarcity Of Tramps Gives The County Commits
sioners Short Session.

An evidence Of the good times. in
this county at least, is shown by the
work of the county commissioners.
The present term has now been open
for n week and the court will adjourn.
today Usually the session lasts f1r
10 days at the very least. The greater
part of the time is devoted to looking
over the bills of the county officers. a
large part of these bills usually are
made up from the mittimusses and Of
ficers' fees. This year. there were not
nearly as many bills for the commits
sioners to look over. this being due to
the small number of tramps. In many
of the cases the officers in the different
towns and cities have been trying to
break up the tramp nuisance, and,
this year, there has not been nearly as
much for them to do. This shows it
self in the work of the commissioners.
Concerning this matter. County Com
missioner Burgess said that the small
number of tramps was without ques-
ton due to the opportunity that every
one has to get work. So that the men.
instead Of becoming tramps and living
on some one else. have been working
to support themselves, and with such
success that there have been few calls
on the towns for places to spend the
night and few calls on the town off
GERS for assistance.
over a year ago. some of the towns
in the county did not have the station
room for accommodating the tramps.
while. this year, even in the coolest
weather the calls at the police station
have been limited to not more than one
or two tramps a night.

AUGUSTA LOCALS.
A SCORCHER'S EXPERIENCE.
Remarkable Escape In a Collision Of a 81.
cycle and Hack.

Only the remarkable quickness of a BIZ
cyclist prevented a serious if not a fatal
accident at the corner of Water and Win
throp streets, yesterday morning. AS it
was the rider was thrown from his wheel
and under the feet of a pair of horses.
The accident occurred shortly after 10
O'Clock. Then Il bicycle rider, who was
not known to those near by, was riding
down Winthrop street hill. AS he turned
the corner to go onto Water street he
held to the north side of the street and
intended to keep to the west side Of
Water street. The ride down over the
hill had given him good speed and
when he turned into the street the wheel
went directly into the Augusta House
hack. Several were standing at the cor
ner of the street but the whole thing was
done so quickly that they were powerless
to give assistance.
The first thing they saw was that the
young man had been knocked down ana
was under the horses feet. The horses
We're moving at a good speed and for an
instant it seemed that the young man
must be struck by the horses hoofs ana
the hack wheels, and badly injured if
not killed.
HG NOulS HAL uulthtT imam thought,
reached for the pole of the hack and sue
ceeded in clinging to that. He thus
saved being struck by the horses hoofs.
In the meantime the driver of the hack
quickly brought his horses to a standstill,
though not until the young man had been
dragged some distance. The whole thing
happened so quickly that it was not I'M
til the bicyclist had hold of the end of
the pole that Deputy Marshal Grover was
able to take the horses by the head and
hold them until the man could regain his
feet and release himself from his serious
prcdiclment.
When the wheel was finally taken from
under the feet of the animals it was in n
sorry condition as the horses had struck
it several times with their hoofs. The
owner was not able to ride it and started
up Water street. He was at first inclined
to blame the driver of the hack but rs
soon as he realized that the accident oc-
CURED through his own fault took a
more reasonable view Of the matter.
Who the young man was could not he
learned as he refused to give his name
and no one knew him. But for the
prompt action Of Deputy Marshal Grover
and the hack driver he would doubtlessly
have been badly bruised but as it was he
escaDed without even q scratch.
