NEW YORK
Rock Weighing $50 Tons Fails ON
Workmen.

FRIDAY morning when an Enormous rec;
caved from the side and roof of the Rap
III transit tunnel i'll course of construc-
ton i'll Broadway about the line of One
Hundred III SiNty-fourth Street in
New York City.
Without warning the mass of rock.
slXfy-three feet long. eleven feet wide
and ten feet high, and weighing about
l5O tons fell with II tremendous crash
directly where the muckcrs were work
ing, almost closing the tunnel and GREAT
ing a panic among the two or three hum
dlrtl men at work in other sections.
ut first it WAS supposed that ut least
Il dozen men had been buried under the
debris. Word of the accident had been
quickly spread. and soon an anxious
crowd gathered around the shaft, scores
OF men and women CRYING and wiring
ing their hands while the rcscucrs
worked with tremendous energy to rcucl,
the cntombcd worllmen. De Pctro and
nn unknown Italian were not buried I'M
der the mass of rock, and were the first
found.
when the rcscuing party began TO re-
move the rock they found the manglcd
bodies of OIIara. Kellchcr aud Goron-
sky. The bodies of Madden and Danife
were buried under masses of rock which
could not be moved and they could not
he cNtiiratcd. although they were in
plain sight. 1t was the work of hours
to drill the holes and charge them. At
2:lo i'll The afternoon the charges were
fired. with the result that the body of

If;cy Caused the Arrest of IL Number.
OF Great Northern Employees.
Something of n sensation has been
caused ut Watertown by the arrest of
several employees OF the Great Northern
road for alleged completely in thcfts of
merchandise which have occurred along
the colnl'any's lines. Several of the men
under arrest are prominent trainmcn. in
Guiding conductors and brakemen. These
thefts, it is said. have bcen carried on
for Il period of two years. and that some
of the guilty PARTIES have bccn run to
earth through the efforts OF female de-
t~ectivcs put ON the trail. Ii is said hired
girls and others have been clothed in
silk underwear and outer garments. and
that it WAS through their talkativeness
that the female detectives ram down the
parties implicated. One former employee
w:s arrested in Maine, another in Ar
kansas, and two or three others nearer
the scene of operations. which have been
carried on along the main line of the
Great Northern in Minnesota. Several
arrests were made at benson and Will
mar within the past few days, and there
is Il strong probability that more will fol-
low. The girls who have been wearing
the stolen goods. with the knowledge that
they were stolen. are not exempt from
the trouble that is brewing.

SOUTH DAKoTA's FINANCES.
Trcasurcr's Report Shows Debt of
State is Less Than 100000.

The state treasurer has issued his am
nnal report for the fiscal year ending
July ], 1901. The principal matter of
interest in it IL the people of the state
generally is the summary of financial
condition of the state. The total indcbt-
r,lncss is shown to be SS63.3OO. This is
composed of S37O.SOO of coupon bonds:
S2l2.5o0 of registered bonds, and $3.50
OoO of revenue warrants. The total
cash on hand in the treasury for all pul.-
poses at that date was S7t4.SSS.4G lcav-
ing Il not debt of less than 100000.
The highest interest being paid by the
state is Ila per cent. on some of the
bonds which have come down as II loft
over debt from the old territory. the most
of the bonded debt being for 81 or 4 per
cent. The only bonds which become
due at an early date are So. 500 of Mad
ison Normal School bonds. which will he
due on the LIST of next May. and there
is in the sinking fund at the present time
over Sol 900 to meet this payment. No
other bonds become due before 1909. but
as sufficient funds accumulate in the
treasury the policy of the present treas
urer has been TO secure the release of
outstanding securities. and the same pol
icy will no doubt he continued in the
ftli II as in the past.

WHERE POTATOES ARE PLENTY
Farmers Around Dell. Rapids Had
Great Success with Crnn.

The potato crop throughout the sec

ter, according to the farmers reports,
especially those who were fortunate
enough to put in large fields. One farm
Ell living near Dell Rapids the other day
contracted to furnish 1,50O bushels, pro-
viding he was paid 81 per bushel. Ole,

marketed IL portion of his fine crop last
week. about 300 bushels. and received
i'll payment Il check for $500. Charles
Rowlcs has marketed 400 bushels at 81
per bushel. Many others have done like
wise, and still the supply is abundant.
The quality this year is particularly
fine. One popularity noticed this year
is that fields which We're the least at
tended are yielding the best. This doubt
less is due to the unlisturbed ground
retaining the moisture better during the
protracted dry spell.
