A HERO OF THE MINE.
He seusht Not GLORY. bat to Save .
Human Life.

ne 5cAHnt NOT 0lory, Dot 10 save .
Human Life.
Heber Franklin, q young man en-
ployed In the Clear Creek mine, is as
much a hero as any man who ever
braved death on the battlefield, Gays
the Salt Lake Herall. Franklin sought
not glory. but to save q human life.
There was a IRE in the mine. The men
were called out. Then they were about
to shut OF the air in order to stop the
flames. when II was learned that q lone
miner was working deep In the mine
beyond the point whore the fire
started and was then raging with
growing strength. Here Is the story
Of the subsequent events: Foreman
Thomas Immediately called for volun-
teers to 10 With him into the mine 70
rescue the man. Several attempts
were made By different ones. but they
were driven back By the flames and
the cry ef ePowderi" caused a hasty
retreat. Finally Hebsr Franklin. a
young man whose work keeps him on
the outside. said: Il will 60" And
accompanying Foreman Thomas he
pressed on through the Are and found
the man working away tamping u
hole, entirely unconscious OF the dan
ger threatening him. They succeeded
in getting out OF the mine safely, when
the fan vas shut on and the dip closed
up. The rescue was an act OF great
bravery on the part Of Franklin, as
his work kept him onethe outside and
he was unacQuainted with the exact
lay Of the land within and the danger
of suffooation from black damp was
great He was the only mar OF the
many standing BY whose nerve did not
desert him. II is stated upon good
authority that ten minutes more Of lost
time would have resulted IN the death
OF the miner who was al work, and
possibly q great loss 10 the company,
~ the supply OF air could not be cut
on while there was any hope OF rescue.
and this would have tended TO feed tho
nRmea.

VERY DIsC0UBAGING


II the Outlook for the Pocket Own
ers-Davts Dam VIII be Raised BY
This Mornfng-1iver News.
PITTSBURG, May 10-The task Of
raising the wickets at the Davis Is
land dam was commenced at an early
hour and the entire dam will be in
position by Friday morning. The
employees there will work all night in
order to get the dam in place, and as
soon as all wickets are up the needles
will be placed between the wickets,
thus holding all the water in the
pools and shutting OFF much water
flowing below the dam. This will
cause decided fall in the Ohio river
below the dam and will virtually sus-
pend navigation for all Ohio river
packets. The big boats have been able
until Thursday to come as far as
Sewickley.
The rains of Tuesday night were a
disappointment to rivermen. Wednes-
day reports showed the Monon gahela
river was rising, but the Ohio has
fallen four-tenths of foot during the
past "a hours. The rise that flowed
down the Monongahela was all
checked before it reached Pittsburg.
All the excess water was needed to
fill the pools of the Monongahela river
There will be lively times in the har-
Dor as soon as the wickets at Davis Is
land dam are up, for all the loaded
barges in the pools OF the Monongahela
can be brought to Pittsburg.
This years suspension of navigation
on the Ohio river is the earliest in a
number of years. Last year the big
Cincinnati packets were able TO oper-
ate until July 7th. The Queen City
left Pittsburg on that date for Gin
cinnati and the Keystone State ran
until July Goth, when she got as far
as Rochester and turned back down the
river 1t will take much rain to
bring the river up to a navigable stage
for shipping coal, but another rain
soon like the one of Tuesday night
will make sufficient water to enable
the packets to resume operations.

After several Intellectual Attempts to
get the members of the Council finance
committee together, meeting was held
last night with but one or two abb
sentees. 1t was after nine o'clock,
however, before the meeting was called
to order, and after eleven o'clock when
1T adjourned. The purpose of the meet
ing was to prepare the annual appro-
priation ordinance, which should have
been sent through Council before this
time, as delay has the inevitable eff
feet of postponing work upon city i'm
provements. The ordinance will very
likely go to Council at its next regular
meeting.
Incidental to the discussion of items
in the ordinance the members INDUCED
in criticism of the banks in which the
city funds are deposited, and there was
very strong sentiment favorable to
change. There was also criticism of
the condition of municipal affairs
which makes it necessary to borrow
money when the Water Board has an
abundance of funds.
The committee decided to make pro-
vision for an advance of $40 per month
in the wages of the four employees of
the workhouse, and also to make pro-
vision for one extra policeman. The
threatened strike of the police was
pooh-poohed, and members stated that
il it occurred they could easily supply
men for the force.
There was a big increase in the eSti-
mate for the city clerks office, which
was accounted for by the items Of
court orders and compromises aggre-
eating an expense of $500, and the
expense of election.
When it came to pruning the esti
mates for the different departments,
the Board of Public Works was slashed
and had no defender in the committee.
The estimated receipts of de-
partments from which the Board
of Public Works contingent fund is
derived, aggregated $22, 1895. The
committee took up the B: P. w. over
draft of $10,038.45 and decided to
charge it to the Board, and deduct from
the amount to be expended during the
coming year. There was also a draft
in transitu amounting to $2,337.05,
which had been charged to the 10 cent
levy fund and carried for several years.
1t was stated that the City Receiver
account shows no 10 cent levy orders
out, and it was the unanimous opinion
that this charge was enormously made.
The committee decided to charge this
item also to the Board of Public
Works.
When Mr.. Maxwell footed the col
umns of estimated revenues and ex-
penditures an excess of $6,21S.12 was
found on the latter side. The sugges-
ton was made that the item of $4,000
due on the electric light loan might
be carried over and the. opinion was
expressed that there would be no diff
Guilty as it would bear interest at six
per cent. This suggestion was APPROX
ed and the amount deducted. This left
about $1700 in excess on the revenue
side.
"Well throw that as sop to the
Board of Public Works. said Mr.. Cald-
we'll.
This idea met with general approval
and the B. P. w. contingent fund fig
ures were altered accordingly. The
figures were then given as follows:

All indications point to very
heavy vote at the Democratic primary
election next Saturday. In some dis
tricts the fight over the Commission
ership is as warm as at the recent Re-
publican primaries, notably in Union.
Voters are expected to manifest the
same degree of interest in the primar-
les as they did at the suggestion meet
ings, although there is no contest for
Sheriff or Prosecuting Attorney The
candidates on the county ticket are as
follows:
Sheriff-W. w. Irwin.
Prosecuting Attorney-John B. Will
son.
Assessor, City District-Joseph H.
Baker, J. Wilson White
Assessor, Country Districts. Harry
Engel, John w. Nichols, Michael A.
Madden.
Voters should note carefully the
location of the voting places In the
respective districts, inasmuch as sew
eral changes have been made since
they were originally announced. The
polling places will be as follows:
Washington District-Vigilant En-
CINE House; Hose House, Fulton, and
1925 McColloch street.
Madison--Seventh Ward Hose House.
Clayton John Pendletons Law
Office, Chapline street
Union-Police Court Room.
Center-Hartman' Hall, corner
Twenty-third and Market streets.
Webster-No. 2703 Chapline street.
Ritchie-Eighth Ward Hose House.
Liberty-Valley Grove School House;
White School House, West Liberty;
Potomac.
Richland-Glenn's Run School
House; Brick School House.
adelphia-Leatherwo School
House; Elm Grove. Town Hall; Tria-
delphia, Green's Hotel; Cool Breeze
School House.
M. A. Madden is hustling for the
nomination for county assessor, and
his opponents are making the fight
exceedingly interesting. One of the
most interesting fights in the county
will be on the commissionership in
Union district.
A strange political story with an
Ohio county end to it came from
Fairmont last night. ]. E. Dana, of
Charleston, and c.. P. Dorr, of Web
ster county, were candidates for dele
gates at large from the Third district.
Dana was slated for the place, but
Door fooled the ring by running
ahead. When the vote was compile
ted, but before it was tabulated,
ring man quick at figures found that
Dorr was elected by small majority.
The announcement of the vote was
held back. Jim Hall was seen and
Ohio county threw her CT votes to
Dana in consideration for which Ka-
nawha is to support Hall solidly for
Auditor at the State convention. This
elected Dana and several other coun-
ties swung into line ana gave him a
big majority. Dorr found out how
he was beaten and now at his dictation
Webster, Upshur and Tyler will re-
fuse to support Hall for Auditor so the
deal lost him more than he made by
it.
