RAVAGED BY WIND.
Destructive and Fatal Storm Visits New
England.

Boston, Dec. 5-Another southern
storm has swept over New England
and gone the way Of all such distur-
Dances, straight off to the northeast,
and like hundreds of its energetic pre-
decessors, left death and destruction
in it's wake. 1t followed the European
steamer track, so that it's destructive
history is not yet complete.
Just what it accomplished in this
line in New England and particularly
along the coast north of Boston can be
summed up as follows: Five Glou-
cester fishermen drowned, six coasting
schooner ashore, and II others more
OF less injured through collision and
loss of gear.
The usual amount of damage oc-
CURED on the land, buildings being
blown down, telegraph wires prostrat-
ed and some delays on the railroads in
the northern portion through heavy
SHOWS.
It is generally believed that incom-
ing vessels will add something more
to the storm.

decided to offer the appointment to
the vacancy to Judge L. W: Collins,
who comes from the same section Of
the state as Nelson.
It is declared by those who profess
to know that the appointment of Col
Inns was a scheme suggested by the
South Dakota senator and the idea met
with such favor from the governor
that he gave it his sanction upon the
spot. Mckenzie is after Nelson's scalp
because Of interference of the senator
in the dealings which have made the
names of Mckenzie and Judge Arthur
H. Noyes more or less well known
throughout the land. Mckenzie was
an appointee of Judge Noyes. He
was made receiver of property which I
had originally been located by Firms
and Laplanders. Senator Nelson con-
tended that the foreigners were justi-
fled in locating the claims in question
and declared more or less empfatically
in congress that the attempt of Ameri-
can claimants to jump the property
was a high handed outrage.
Pettigrew is sore at Nelson be-
the latter accompanied Roosevelt on
his South Dakota trip. ..M .

BATTLE FOR LIFE
Goodness of Foreman Enables Men

feet in a colliery at Dunmuir, near
here. 80 men had a desperate battle
for life today as a result of a mine
cave-in and only succeeded in obtaining
their liberty by digging their way out.
The cave-in was in the mine of the
Nayaug Coal company. Five acres of
surface fell into the mine and CON-
pletely blocked the exit. A rescuing
party was formed, but the imprisoned
men cut their way ont through the
fall before the men in the rescuing
party reached them. None of the
men was injured.
The men were all at work about
1000 feet from the bottom of the slope
and 400 feet below the surface when
two acres of the roof between them
and the slope came down with a ter
rible crash, crushing the pillars be-
meath it and causing a rush of air that
almost blew the men from their feet
and hurled the roof off the house.
Their lamps were extinguished, but
finding that the air was still pure,
they relighted them and began to cast
about for a way to escape. Foreman
John Gibbons babe the men keep cool.
Crawling on his, hands and knees he
made his way to within Is feet of an
air way which led to the second OPEN
ing and which, he presumed, was not
effected by the fall, as it is a barrow
passage cut through solid rock.
Returning for the men he had them
take their tools and follow him.
After a difficult and dangerous jour-
ney they reached the point where the
fall blocked their way. This was at
tackled with bars and picks and shovels
and after an hours work a passage
was cleared to the air way, which, as.
they had counted upon, was open. AS
as they could run they made their
to the second opening and thence

with wild hurrahs from the thousands
who had gathered expecting to see
them brought out crushed and man.

Maddened Bull Escapes from Keepers and
Creates Panic Among Spectators.
e tors-Several Injured.

Chicago, Dec. "a maddened bull
that had escaped from his keepers
while being driven from the judges
ring today at the Livestock exposition
caused a panic among the several
thousand spectators who were witness
sing the heavy team exhibition in Dex-
ter avenue, just west Of the pavilion.
When the animal gained his freedom
he lowered his head and made. straight
for the crowd. Shouts from a score
of men warned those in peril, but in
the wild scramble for safety three men
and a little girl were unable to get out
of the way and were thrown to the
ground by the bull. No one was SER
iously injured, no wever, and the bull
was captured by cowboys.
The exposition had several promi-
nent visitors, among whom were
Anthony De T1avasky, imperial chan
cellor and royal Hungarian commits
sioner of agriculture, stationed at
Washington, and Governor J. Hoge
Tyler of Virginia. T.
The Europeans expressed themselves
as surprised at the extent and variety
Of the exposition. They denied the re-
port that they had been commissioned
to make extensive purchases of blooded
stock for Emperor Francis Joseph and
declared that they came especially to
examine the display Of sheep. They
will report to their home government
and the result may be the introduction
of American bred strains.
The attendance tonight was emo
nous and it was estimated today that
between SO, 900 and 80, 900 persons
passed through the gates.

giving account of two hours fight in

force, consisting of 80 native scouts,
commanded by Lieutenant Jernigan,

be a mistake. Not one of Jernigan's
