ACCIDENT
ACT OF GOD.
Defense in the Damage Suit
Says Lawless' Death
Could Not Have
Been Prevented.

Trial OF the $2O,OOO,. damage suit
OF Lawless administrator VS.. the
Pusey and Jones Company was re.
stunned in Superior Court this MORN
ing by calling OF jeremiah Morris,
who is in the employ of the Weth-
erels at Chester. Mr.. Morris has
been employed by the Harlan and
Holllngsworth Company, and
Roach S and had much experience
with derricks. He saw the one in the
defendant company's yard and be-
lieved 1t to be incapable of doing
the work that was being required
of it.
John P. Dooley, was in the EN-
ploy Of the defendant company at
the time Lawless was killed. He
testified to the accident but he could
not say that the derrick was safe.
After he left the stand the plain
titfs rested their case.
In opening the defense Mr..
Ponder said thew admitted that
Lawless was killed not through
carelessness on his part but in an
accident which no human agency
could have prevented. They would
also prove that the derrick had
been completely overhauled, that it
was in perfect working order on the
day of the accident and that it is
being used to-day on similar work
to that which it was doing on the
day Lawless was killed.
Charles H. Heald, general super
intendent of the Pusey and Jones
shipyard, was the first witness
called by the defense. He testified
that he has been in the employ of
the company for over IS years.
The derrick which fell and caused
Lawless death was erected in 1872
but several years ago it was COM
pletely overhauled, and in the
opinion OF Mr.. Heald it was as safe
as the usual derrick.

A Happy Man.

Thomas Hootten of Silverbrools,
was able to venture out of his house
last Thursday for the first time in
ten weeks, and by the aid OF cane
was enabled to take short walk.
He is greatly gratiied by his re-
covery, as he expects to be able to
go to work in week or two at the
furthest. For some DAYS he suf-
fered the most eXcruciatirg pain
and he thought he was about to die,
in fact he says his in jured leg was
nearly dead and his toes have not
yet been fully restored to their nor
NAL condition. He is extremely
grateful to Miss Stroud as through
her treatment he first obtained re-
1ief, and he is not only prepared
to speak good word for her as oc-
casion offers but sound her praise
as long as he lives. He thinks that
others suffering pain would do we'll
to give her call.

gauge railroad. be known as the Alaska
Siberian Railroad, from Port Clarence, the
Behring Sea, to Kaltag, on the Yukon River, by
way of Nome City. Port Clarence furnishes the
only deep harbor in those waters and is
eighty-five miles northwest OF Nome. This
necton by rail with good and safe port will
obviate the expense and great discomfort of
lighterage from ocean going vessels in the heavy
surf, as well the enormous expense of de-
murrage on account of storms heretofore, TO
say nothing of the danger to human life. The
cost of construction of this line for the hundred
miles already surveyed is estimated at $4,000
A conservative estimate TO the cost of
lghterage, loss OF goods etc, during the last
season amounts TO something like S1,10O.O00.
The discharging Of the last cargo of the Roanoke
alone cost SI2Wb averaging $40 ton, while
the cost of dischargng the Bertha's cargo on
her final trip amounted to $4,000
From Port Clarence which is sheltered from
the wind, the road will follow the beach, passing
the New Eldorado, the Sinrok, the Penny River
and the Nome districts to Port Safety, the town
OF Bonanza District; thence through the Fish
River and Norton Bay districts to Kaltag. where
it will connect with Yukon River steamers
There has been some talk of the construction
Of wharves for the landing of freight on the
beach at Nome. but this idea it is believed, will
be abandoned impracticable. The first OBJ
stacle 10 be encountered is the shallow water,
which extends out from the beach for at least
mile. A pier built of piles for this distance to
enable deep sea vessels TO discharge freight and
passengers, would have to be constructed each
year, since the heavy icefoes would probably
wreck the piling as the ice went out in the
spring. "A snort pier, even 1or one season. could
hardly withstand the storms that sweep
the coast of the Behring Sea at this point, and
if the structure was not altogether torn away
small boats or barges could not be landed at IT
during heavy weather.

line of railroad is only a few miles distant from
