and way points, with small pox news,
but no small pox, arrived here this
morning. The people of Southeast
ern Alaska are much exercised over
the small pox scare, and are making
strong efforts to counteract the effect
of it on travel to Lynn canal and way
ports. A public meeting under the
auspices of the chamber of commerce
at Juneau, was held with view tc
taking action to have the quarantine
removed by the government. This
meeting, Captain Hunter says, was
in progress when the Dirigo sailed
from IN ,eau. The complaint that il
being cried aloud Throughout South
eastern Alaska ports is that the small
pox scare not only Injuries passenger
travel and business in general, but
that it has the effect of seriously dis.

COST HIM HIS LIFE.
Man Who Stepped Aside to Let Another
Gain Safety First.

indianapolis, May 15-While Will.
liam Phelps, of Richmond, KY, and
James Staplebury, OF this city, were
cleaning out the inside OF an eight
foot upright boiler at the Cerealine
mills today, an employe turned on
the steam, thinking the cock tight.
1t leaked, and the scalding steam
poured in on the two men. The only
exit was up a ladder. Both men
jumped for the ladder. Phelps reached
it first, took one step and stopped.
He jumped aside and shouted, "You
go up first Jim, you are married"
Staplebury sprang up the ladder
and escaped with slight burns.
Though Phelps followed at his heels,
his act of heriosm cost him his life.
Both men were being cooked when
Phelps jumped aside. By the time
he had followed Staplebury up the
ladder the flesh was dropping from his
limbs. He lived for two hours in
great agony. Both men are colored.

man near Fort Lee, N. j., and dashed
down Leona hill. Every person on
the car was bruised and three serious
ly hurt, but only one of them, the
conductor, is likely to die. The
heavily loaded car had started down
an incline quarter of mile in
length when the motorman lost con-
troll. The car was going SO fast that
no one dared to jump off. The road
is winding one. At the foot OF the
hill it curves sharply. When the
front trucks hit the curve they started
around and made it. The rear ones
followed part OF the way. The wrench
upon the car, however, as it swung
about was so great that the body was
torn and lifted from the trucks and
rolled over and hit the ground. The
passengers were caught in and under
the car and were piled in heap.

Baker City. May 16.-What is be-
lieved to be the richest gold strike
ever made in Eastern Oregon was UNI
covered in the Little Giant mine,

free gold that it does not need an as
say for even a novice to know that it
is very rich. The samples are OF
beautiful nuggets as large as pea,
and so bright that the gold can be
plainly seen at distance of Is or 20
feet. The ledge is about II feet wide
and has been uncovered for distance
of 800 feet. The discovery of this
rich ore has created great deal OF
excitement here, and number of
