Good Season at Sunrise,
Special Correspondence to the PKospxcToR.


Sunrise. Oct. 12th.-The fall ex-
Odus has taken place, nearly all
who intend going out for the win
ter having left on the last steamer.
A few who could not possibly catch
the Excelsior will be compelled to
go on the Bertha, much TO their re-
greet, as that vessel is not in favor
with people of this place and the
Inlet, and is only patronized when
absolutely necessary.
The past season has been COM
paratively good. Much develop
ment work has been done and some
hydraulic machinery has been put
in place ready for next years work.
The output for the season is less
than usual owing to the fact that
the Polly mine and one or two 9TH
ers have done mostly dead work
this season. However the amount
taken out in the Sunrise district is
over $4,000.
A petition is being circulated
here and throughout the Inle,
country, addressed to Judge Wick
ersham, asking that Judge Bronlow
of this place, who is U. 5. Commits
sioner, be also made q recorder.
While our citizens enjoy visit to
Valdez, yet they find it a hard and
an expensive trip, especially in the
winter, and we feel that this coun-
try is of enough Importance to
have a recorder here.
The Crow Creek Mining CO.,
composed of several well known
citizens of this place. among whom,
are Mcssrs Judge Brooks. R. L.
Oldham, w. C. Jacks, &. W. Davis
and Borton have made big
strike on their property this sea-
son. They have taken out IS to
$12 to the shovel on the surface,
and will no doubt do much better
next year when they get down to
bed rock. This company has seven
claims.
The New York Consolidated
Gold Mining Co. has good prop
erty just above the Grow Creek Co.,
and have just got in place large
hydraulic plant and next year will
employ a large force of men.
The superintendent, Mr.. Gerwood,
is well pleased with the property.
and no doubt the Company will
take out large amount OF gold in
the future.
The Turnagain Arm Gold Min
ing Co., on Gulch creek, is well
pleased with the seasons work.
A large amount OF dead work
has been done on the Polly mine
this season, and so not much
gold was taken out.
The Big Horn Gold Mining Co..
on Cub Creek, two miles from here,
has done we'll, but it is not known
just what they have taken out.
Mr.. F. Smith has returned from
Nome where he got some valuable
property. Mrs. Smith has gone to
California for the winter. Mrs. H.
A. Smith and daughter are again
at home for the winter, and H. A.
is happy. r. H. Lonstale has
gone to California for the winter
and gossip says he will come back
benedict. H. v. Hoben has gone
to Boston to fill up on beans. Ex-
Recorder Samuel Mills has gone to
the States for the winter.

special dispatch from Lancaster
to The State. says Miss Ida Craig, a
young lady about 20 years OF age, liv-
ing about eight miles in the county,
put an end To her life by drinking
carboiic acid Tuesday morning about
) o'clock. She had been using the
acid for tootchache, and the suppoSi-
tion is that after retiring for the night
she drank the contents OF the bottle,
which was Il small one with only a
small quantity Of the acid diluted
therein. The young lady had been

FAMINE IN PHILIPPINES.
Heroic Measures are Being Taken to
Relieve Situation in Archipelago.

a dispatch from Manila says the
Philippine commission has been forced
TO take heroic measures to relieve the
famine conditions prevailing in the
Archipelago. II has appropriated So
ooo, 600, Mexican, to purchase rice and
to charter vessels to carry the supplies
to the different islands.
1t is proposed to sell the rice for
cash and 10 distribute it through the
civil officials. 1T will be sold at not
less than actual cost, including duty,
transportation, Shrinkage and storage
thus not prejudicing legitimate COM
petitions; but this will result i'm the
sufferers being able to purchase at
from one-third to one-half less than
the present cost, owing to the eXorbi-
tant coastwiSe rates that shippers are
obliged To pay. The first rice steamer
sailed for the provinces of the CANA
rincS Wednesday morning. The bulk
of the rice to be disposed Of i'm this
manner will be purchased in Siam.
Reports from various places in the
archipelago show general condition
of poverty and famine, resulting from
! the inSurrcctiOn, cholera and rindcr-
/ pest. The authorities of the Zamba-
les provinces have appealed for aid in
| introducing American agricultural ma
chincry and i'm importing caribaoS

The shippers have objected to the
government importing rice, and have
offered Governor Taft lengthy eXpla-
nation in Justification of the pr0hibi-
tive prices prevailing for rice. They
say in effect that the Philippine crop
is always insufficient for the home dc.
mand, and that the present crop il
Indo-China is failure. the grain there
selling 30 per cent. higher than it did
last year. The ASiatic growers have
issued notice that no rice will bC
available between December and Feb
ruary.

The True Cause.

The Columbia Record says Massa-
chusettS papers are trying TO explain
why Booker WaShington's daughter
was forced to leave Wellesley college.
One paper attempts to explain 1t by
the fact that the Southern girls fn
the college absolutely refused to asso-
ciate, with her, and adds that some OF
the Northern girls. took up" with
her There is no disputing about
tastes generally, SO the Northern girls
are welcome to theirs in this matter;
but the truth OF it is that the
generality OF Northern girls are not
much different from their Southern
sisters in this respect. The faculty
OF the college is acting very follishly
in trying to make it appear that any
thing else than race prejudice, IL you
please TO call it that, caused her re-
lection as Il student after the expert
mcnt had been tried for one term.

T.. III. DcaS, the Negro chairman of

SatiOn i'm the G.. q. p. and has pre-
ferred charges against District Attor-
ncy John &. CdpcrS, Internal Revenue
Collector Micah Jenkins and almost
every other federal Office holder i'm the
State TO the effect that they are gull
ty of perniciouS political activity and
have used their Offices in way bound
to offend the president. AS result
Mr. Fred III. Wannamakcr, civil serv-
ice examiner, has been sent To Char
lesion TO investigate the charges and
spent the entire day Wednesday TAX
ing the testimony of Mr. CapcrS. Dcas'
charges are not regarded seriously 10y
any one and il is generally thought
that he is feeling sore because he feels
the control Of the party Slipping from
his hands. lie is not consulted in the
matter of federal patronage any more,
and what ne says is Of no weight in
Washington. 1t is likely, Therefore,
that after the hearing OF the charges
authorities in Washington will dis
miss the whole matter. Just what
DcaS hopes to gain by this is matter
or conjecture.

A TEXAS FIGHT.
Three Men Killed in Shooting
ATray at Orange.

Three men are dead as result of 4
shooting atrray at Orange, Texas,
Wednesday and great excitement pre-
walls i'm that community. The dead:
Jeff Chcnault. City Marshal Jordan,
Tony Jones.
Bad blood is said to have existed
between thrn@uit and Will Harris, Il
wcll-known young man, for some
time. Wednesday the two men met
and after war of words Harris
secured Il double barrellcd shotgun
and killed Chcnault. Harris ran to
escape the fire of Chenault'S brother,
but was apprehndcd by City Marshal
Jordan, who was close at hand. While
the officer was conducting young Har-
riS to Jail he was shot and killed and
his prisoner escaped. 1t is not known
who killed Jordan, although there
were large number OF people on the
street at the time of the tragedy.
VIII Harris was later arrested and
placed i'm Jail. At this juncturc his
brother, James Harris, started for a
nearby store, declaring that he would
procure Il weapon and take part i'm the
affair. 1t is claimed that Tony Jones
handed Harris Il gun, after which the
former jumped into Il buggy. AS he
was driving away officers appeared on
the scene and opened fire on Jones'
inllicting wounds fron w.lich he died
Il few minutes later.
The town was thrown into state
of intense excitement and further
trouble was feared, but Sheriff Rob
crtS ordered that all saloons must close
until he gave them permission tu open,
and announced that he would restore
law and order at any cost. This
statement had the desired effect and
although the streets are crowded there
does not appear tn be any lkcihrod
OF further trouble. Jordan was only
recently appointed to succeed Mar
shall lett, who was killed in the dis
charge of his duty.

\ Horrible story.

\ special from Columbus, Ncb. tells
of the killing last Friday of farmer
named Gerhard BUrcherS, living sew
cral miles northeast of Humphreys,
by Herman, a fourtecn-year-old son,
who used shotgun, which he had
purchased for that purpose When
the help of two brothers, August
aged 10, and John, aged 5 years, Her
man dragged the body Of his father to
a StrawStack and set fire to it,. This
is the story secured 10y Sheriff ByrneS
from the thee children, who are in
custody. Each of the children practi-
cally told the same story, the only
variance being in the degree OF cul-
pability i'm the killing accorded to
each. Herman, who is said to have
fired the gun that killed his father,
implicatcS his younger brothers
equally with himself, while they put
the blame ON him. The only motive
for the crime given is that the father,
with whom the children had lived
alone since the mothers death, had
not treated them kindly. NcighborS

An unc>ncctcd Victory.

The Columbia State says the Demo-
cratic victory i'm Rhode Island was al
most entirely unexpected. If the
Democratic campaign managers made
any claims Of carrying that State they
were generally deemed too uuimpor-
tant for attention. Yet it seems that
the governor, the lieutenant governor
and the congressman are Democrats
while the lower house Of the general
assembly is evenly divided between
the tyyo parties, the senate being still
strongly Republican. Rhode Island
was once considered Democratic
State but OF late years has been
abandoned to the Republicans 1t
may be that This little victory is al
entering wedge for the Democratic
party in New England, where ii ha,
much To regain.

AN EXPLOSION
Causes a Frightful Disaster in the
Heart of a Crowd.
ELEVEN MEN KILLED OUTRIGHT
And Fifty Injured, Many of them
Fatally. Panic and Stampede
Followed. 500 Policemen
Called Out.

by series OF explosions OF pyrote-
chnic bombs and er.fireworks Tues
day night, among the vast multitude
gathered in Madison Square I'm New
York City to witness the ascension OF
an airship and the display OF the elec-
tion returns, eleven persons were killed
outright, many being blown almost to
pieces and at least fifty injured, many
of them fatally.
1t is estimated that at least &c, 900
persons througed the Square at the
time OF tine explosions which were sue
ceeded by frightful panic In which
hundreds were thrown down and
trampled under foot. Five hundred
policemen and all the ambulances in
the city were instantly summoned and
the dying and those most seriously
injured were removed to the hospitals.
In addition to these many Of the
wounded were taken away by friends.
Nine men in charge OF the fireworks
display were placed under arrest i'm
mediately after the explosion.

Five unknown men.
Unknown cOlored man.
Unknown colored boy.
The denSeSt portion Of the throng
that packed the square was gathered
along Madison avenue close to the
place reserved for the discharge OF
fireworks. Along the border of the
square facing the avenue were
arranged three groups of the castiron
mortars. 20 in each group and loaded
with heavy bombs. A few minutes
after 10 o'clock the first row OF NOR
tars was touched Off, but before the
discharge took place one of them fell
| over on its side and the next instant
slant the bomb was shot into the
thickcSt nf the crowd, where.it ex-.
! ploded and hurled the people into
heaps. The fall OF the mortar and
the concuSSion OF the explosion knock
ed down the rest OF the row OF NOR
tars and laundering volley OF huge
projectiles ploughed through the
crowd.

of 20 mortarS about 100 feet further
up the avenue discharged their con-
! tents into the crowd and moment
later the third group, evidently ignit-
cd by the showers of falling sparks,
exploded in the same manner.
In the panic that ensued thousands
ran blindly across the square, tripping
over the seats and benches and falling
were trampled upon. The police on
duty were carried along by the rush
and for half an hour the widest con-
fusion reigned.
After the smoke OF the explosion
had cleared away 16 persons were
found lying on Madison avenue be-
tween 23rd and 25th streets. Scores
of injured were scattered about the
avenue and the square. Among the
dead was a policeman who was stand
ing close TO the mortar and whose
body was frightfully ,mangled.
a force OF 500 policemen was soon
on the spot and upwards of 100 physi-
clans and 200 nurses were summoned
from the hospitals.
