RESIDENCE CARRIED AWAY.
Two Destructive Snowslides in
 Colorado.

While Workmen Were Clearing Away
 tbe Snow Another Slide Came On
 A Number of the Men Were Bur
 jed and One Was Taken Out Dead
 The Bodies of Two of the Vic
 tins of the Liberty Bell Snow Slide
 Have Been Recovered.
 Telluride, Col, Mar 3.-There were two more snow slides here yesterday. in the second of which one man, liar slide carried away the residence of Superintendent Van Law of the Snug gler- Union mine, but fortunately the occupants had moved out. While q force of men was clearing away the snow the second slide, which was much heavier than the first, came down with crash, burying several of the workmen. All but Martin es- capped with their lives, though several were more or less seriously hurt.
 At 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon a heavy snow commenced falling. This is the worst storm of the season and will greatly increase the danger from snow slides.
 The bodies of Paul Delpra and Gus Von Flntel We're found yesterday in the third slide on the Liberty Bell Both were horribly mangled and al- most unrecogniZable.

A BE SnoNysIide.

OURAY, Colo, March 3.-News has reached here of one of the biggest snowslides that ever occurred in the Sneffels mining district about fifteen miles north of this place. The slide passed so close to the buildings of the Governor mine that the water tank was carried into the gulch, 1,500 feet below, and the boiler torn from it's foundation and turned around So great was the slide that the gulch was entirely filled with snow and debris. There is no way of communicating with the Sneffels district by wire, and details of the slide cannot be obtained.

BRITISH PUNISHED
Casualties in a Recent battle
 Reach a Total of 632.
BoERS MADE MANY ATTACKS.

Mules Were Stampeded in All Direc-
 tions and the Boers Rode Down the
 Separated British Units-The Bat
 tie Lasted Two Hours and Was the
 Most Disastrous for Both Sides
 That Has Taken Place in Some
 Time-Commandant Lemmer or the
 Boers Said to Have Been Killed.
 London, Mar 3.-In a dispatch from Pretoria, dated to-day, Lord Kitchen CT sends details of the disaster to the escort of the convoy of empty wagons at Vondonop, southwest of klerks- dorp, Transvaal colony. The British casualties in men killed, wounded and made prisoners, reach the total of 632. In addition, the Boers captured two guns. Lieutenant Colonel Anderson, who commanded the British force, and who has returned to Kraaipan, Cape Colony, with 3 officers and 245 men, reports that when his advanced guard was within ten miles of Klerksdorp, during the morning of February p, the Boers opened heavy rifle fire on the troops from the scrub. The burghers were drEen of and the convoy resumed its march when a more determined attack was made on the conveys left flank, the Boers getting within a hundred yards and stampeding the mules harnessed to number of wagons. The attack CTS were again driven off. At about 6:30 in the morning the rear guard was attacked by a strong force of Boers and, simultaneously, another body of Boers boldly charged the cen ter of the convoy and stampeded the mules in all directions, throwing the escort into confusion, during which the Boers charged and re-charged. riding down the separated British units. The fighting lasted for two hours, during which the two British guns and pom-pom almost exhaust ed their ammunition. A detachment of 200 mounted infantry from Klerks- dorp attempted to reinforce the Brit lsh, but were held in check by the Boers.
 Lieutenant Colonel Anderson adds that the strength of the Boers was estimated at from 1,20O to 1,7OO Com mandants Delarey, Kemps. Callers. Lemner, Wolmarans and Potgieter were all present Commandant lem mer is said to have been killed.

WATER IN ABUNDANCE.
Six and Quarter Inches of Rain
 Since February IT.

Six and a Quarter Inches of Rain
 Since February r.
 The precipitation during the storm of yesterday amounted to .6S. This makes remarkable amount of water that fell during the past two weeks, and yet 1t seems to have disappeared without doing any damage to speak of. N. J. Weltin of the state meteorological bu- reau, estimates that since February IT we have had six and a quarter inches of rain. This includes about two and half feet of snow. Usually such storms do considerable damage to pri- yate proprty and the public streets, but on this occasion nothing worse than a few bad spots in some of the streets have been reported. Superintendent Kelley of the street department had force of men at work all day yester- day, and while they were kept busy running from one place to another, still nothing very serious happened in any part of the town. There seems to be more trouble with the water mains now than anything else. The old ce- ment pipes are giving, out and causing q lot of trouble to the water depart ment as well as to private individuals. and it looks as if it would be a good plan to remove the whole of them and put down iron ones instead. At pres en nearly all the cement mains have been discarded with the exception of those in High, Walnut and Bucking- ham streets. Second and Hillside ave nues. Sunday morning about o'clock one of the mains in High street gave out and Superintendent O'Brien and his men have had q lively time there ever since The water rushed out in torrents and before it was shut off worked it's way into the cellar of the house at the corner of High and Or ange streets. The city is liable to have trouble of this kind any day while one of the old cement mains is in use in the public streets

ESCAPED FROM ICE FLoB.
Thirty-fve Men and One Woman Who
 Had Been on the Ice All Winter.

Bay City, Mich, March 3.-Thirty- i've men, one woman and team of horses escaped from a big foe of ice Ill Saginaw bay to the shore at Big Creek, Tuscola county, yesterday The woman had been living on the ice all winter, her sex being unknown to the men. She was mannish in appearance and wore complete male attire, with trousers tucked in high boots. Her sex was discovered Saturday. when the party was making an. effort to get ashore. The men proposed swimming to shore if it became necessary. The woman demurred and after some ques- tioning she admitted her sex. She had been backward about visiting among the other shanties on the ice all win ter preferring the seclusion of her own hut. She said she had gone upon the ice partly for the excitement and part ly for making money catching fish. Her home is in Sebewaing.

SALARY 0F INSPECTOR.
Republicans Holding Caucus to
 Decide on a Plan.

A. I. Chatfield Seems to Be in the Lead
 But He Wants Too Much Pay-Al-
 dermen Want q $1 800 Year Man,
 But MT Chatfeld Says $2,50O is None
 Too Much for Him.
 The republican members of the board of aldermen held a caucus Saturday night and indulged in long confer ence regarding the appointment of a building inspector and the salary that should be paid that official. After a long chat q majority believed that A. L. Chatfield was the best man in the field But after coming to this conclusion they encountered a snag which they failed to get over and it was agreed to let 1t stand until tonight, with the un- derstanding that the whips will pass the word along SO that all will know what to do when the question comes up at the meeting. 1t seems that Chatfeld is no Cheap John in the labor market, and will not take the job un- less he gets good pay. Some of the al- dernen mentioned the sum of $1 300 a year, but Mir Chatfield has come out openly and informed those who ac- qua1nted him about this part of the program that if the aldermen wanted a cheap man they would have to look up somebody else. It is said that MT Chatfield thinks that $2,5OO would not be too much, but some of his friends are of the opinion that he would not refuse the office in case the salary should be fixed at $2,O00, and they are not sure whether he would kick or not in case it would be whittled down to Sl, 800. Some of the members don't like the idea of voting big salary to the building inspector after what they as- sisted in doing with the salaries of the superintendent of poor and the clerk of the board of charities, but, as one of them said to a representative of the Democrat about it last night, what else could have been done. Didn't you hear the howl that was made by the other fellows? The reporter inquired what effect would a similar opposition have against big salary for the build ing inspector, and was told that he didn't think it would have any weight whatever. As it stands now, MT Chat field is the man, provided the aldermen agree to pay him the salary he wants. If not he won't have anything to do with it.

SUIT FOR DOG BITE.
Little Girl Bitten in the Face When
 Returning from School.

Returning from School.
 J. ID. Russell has entered suit againsf F. l. Fabricant, grocer at I'll South Main street claiming $15O damages for Annie Corby, who. it is alleged. was bitten by q dog belonging to the de- fendant last week. The animal is q fox terrier and left five teeth marks under one of the girls eyes. The child was returning from school when the accident occurred. Several complaints of this nature have been heard of about town during the past few weeks, so many that some people are getting down on the dogs and if they don't behave better they may have to wear muzzles Considering the liberties some dogs take with people whom they meet it is surprising that we do not hear of more suits for damages on ac- count of their misdeeds. It is true that most of them confine their operations to those who pass by their owners houses. but it is a notorious fact that many of them roam at large and ap- pear bolder away from home than on their masters premises. But it seems that it makes no difference where a dog does damage so far as the libabil- ltt Ol tue OWllcI IS CO4ttIntQ. .ACtOIu~ ing to the limbs of the law. and what they don't know isn't worth recording. man is as liable for the harm his dog does on his own floor as if it took place a mile or more away from the house. This is pretty hard on the dog. to say nothing of the person who owns him and pays a tax for the privilege of maintaining the animal Doesn't it look strange to think that if tramp propels himself onto your back veran- da. starts to prowl about and collides with the doy and gets bitten. that the owner of the dog must settle? If this be true, what right has the city to grant man a license to keep dog? Of course, it is different when a canine attacks and injures person on the public highway or chews up some one who has business relations with your family and finds it necessary to call at your house. the milkman, the collec- tor. your daughters beau. the hired girls fellow and others Dogs also annoy teamsters, often causing skit- tish horses to run away. something which is attended with great danger to life and limb. Much of this. it would seem, is due to carelessness on the part of people who keep dogs. A good thraShing once in a while from the owners would soon cure them of this habit. A man who sits in the house and hears his dog worrying passersby when in teams or on foot, deserves to be pulled and made to un- derstand that this forms no part of q dogs work and that there is law which forbids him from maintaining such a public nuisance. Most folks like nice dogs. but it is hard to SC. how any many would want to keep one that he knows to be an annoyance to others and apt to sink its teeth into the flesh of fellow being at the slight est provocation, and not unfrequently without any cause whatever.

A report from Lord Kitchener made public last week, said that 16 officers and 451 men of the British forces were taken prisoners during this engagement. Of these an officer and 105 men were released.

WIRELESS TELEPHONY.
Train Hands Talked With Chi
 cago 400 Miles Out.

The Inventor of the System Says It
 Works Whether Wires Are Being
 Used for Photographic Purposes or
 Not-The Telegraph Was Connect
 ed With the Regular Telegraph
 Wire.
 Chicago, Mar 3.-A train crew 400 miles from Chicago in test talked over the telegraph wires to Chief Opp orator Parsons of the Illinois Central railroad at the depot here. As re- suit, the railroad telephone was de- clared to be success.
 The train was stopped near Fulton, Ky, and the telephone was connected with the regular telegraph wire run ming to Chicago. In spite of the fact that the message had to travel over iron wires which ran parallel to more than a score of other wires every word was distinctly heard by MT Parsons.
 The inventor asserts that it makes no difference whether or not tele- graph messages are being flashed over the wires simultaneously with the telephone messages. This was tested by the successful tranmission of telegraphic communication from Fulton at the ame time Parsons was conyersing with the crew.
