The Redmen and Their Friends
Enjoyed Themselves Last Night.

Had the Redmen scored failure
last night in their sixth annual mas
querade ball. it would have been the
first and only time they have failed.
But they did not. in fact no one anti
cipated that they would as their an
nual ball is an event looked forward
to with much anticipation by all the
fun lovers of the city.
Very early in the evening it was
evident that there would be great
crowd present to take part in the fes
tivities. from the number of masquers
seen on the streets. vending their
way to the Park opera house.
1t was fully nine O'Clock before
the grand march occurred. There
were not SO many perhaps as usual
participating in the preliminary to
the dance. but many came in after
wards. so that the second or third
dance the floor Of the opera house was
crowded with the gay reveilers.
A masque ball must be seen to be
| appreciated. No adequate descrip
tion will give an idea of the costumes
worn. AS has been the case in other
events, many of the ladies manufac-
tured their own costumes and these
added to the brilliancy of those i'm
ported. creating brilliant scene.
The tableau was given at 1 O'Clock
and was unique and very pretty.
While in the judgement of the writer
it did not excel several of those which
have preceded it, it was splendidly
conceived and we'll worked out. 1t
represented the smoking of the pipe Of
peace
In rendering Judgment on the Co.'S
tunes. the committee had very diff
cult task. There were none of the
costumes AS striking as seen in former
years. There were great number
modelled on the same lines. SO that
the task Of rendering Judgment was
most difficult. but that it was we'll
done. all will agree who took any
notice of the costumes in particular.
The committee consisted of T. P.
Leason. Mrs. J. R. Sry and H. l..
Thompson. These three select ed for
the winner of the ladies' prize Mrs.
Foster. The winner of the gentle
mans prize was A. G. Hartwell and
of the Redmen's 8 prize, James H. Cos
grove
The two first were awarded the
prizes. consisting of very pretty rock
ing chairs and to the winner of the
Redmen's s prize. Mr.. Cosgrove. Red
mem, badge.
Taking the affair throughout. it
was success both socially and finan-
ciallv. The committee having the
affair III charge have worked most
faithfully to make the event a sue
cess. They were R. A. Jacobs. G. H.
Petrie and 9. G. O'Neil. A large
portion of the work fell on the first
two named. as they were thoroughly
experienced in the conduct of these
| events and of course they made a
| strong team together.

Another Case Of Diphtheria.

Another case of diphtheria has de-
veloped in the Garaventa family near
Middle Bar in Calaveras county. The
victim is boy about s years of age,
the only one that escaped the disease at
its first outbreak. The case is a mild
one, and the patient is getting along
favorably. The quarantine had been
raised for several days when this new
case appeared. The trustees of the
district decided that it was unnecessary
to close the school again, as since the
first appearance of the disease none of
the stricken family has been permitted
to attend school. Of the two deaths
that have occurred from this terrible
malady, in the one case, that of boy,
the immediate cause of death was
heart failure, while the other victim, a
little girl, choked to death. 1t is re-
ported that the physicians who attend
ed the family resOrted to the anti
toxine treatment, and in every case
where the remedy was administered
within reasonable time, the patient
recovered.

Shall We Celebrate.

The matter of celebrating the coming
Fourth of July in Jackson is becoming
a topic of conversation among the
business people. We see no reason
why the county seat should not have a
celebration this year, notwithstanding
the fact that the big attraction of last
year was held here. 1t is getting to be
more and more the custom for each
township to do something in the way
of celebrating independence day. It is
no longer the case, as was the practice
of years ago, that one big festival will
ty. A celebration even at central
only slimly by residents outside of the
has been the experience of successive
years, and is the foundation of the de-
sire in each center of population to
celebrate the national birthday in it's
own way. At last years celebration
the sum of over $500 was raised by pub
lie subscription, which was augmented
by receipts from ball aud other sources
to over $3.50. Out of this there is
balance to the credit of the fund of $42,
which is available for the coming
fourth if it is decided to celebrate in
Jackson. Last years affair was fairly
satisfactory, and an equally creditable
showing can be made with considerably
less money, as there is now only one
local band, whereas two had to be en-
ployed year ago. 1t remains for the
business men to decide what shall be
done in the premises, and the sooner
an agreement is reached the better will
it be for all concerned.

KILLED BY AN EXPLOSION,
Two Miners Blown to Pieces While
Drilling in the Lincoln Mine.

A terrible accident occurred at the
Lincoln mine, Sutter Creek, last night,
causing the instant death of two men,
Jack Nelson and Sol Wedge. These
men were engaged in running Bur.
leigh drill in the sinking operations in
the shaft at the depth of 1900 feet.
Two other men were employed in run
ming another drill on the opposite side
OF the shaft, the skip standing at the
bottom, separating the two crews. 1t
is customary to drill ten or a dozen
holes, each four feet deep, in various
directions, before charging and ex-
plOding them. 1t is impossible to tell
whether all the charges have exploded.
and in this fact lies the danger of drill
ing operations. In running the holes,
the miners above named must have
drilled into an unexploded hole. AS
soon as the drill struck the charge of
powder, it exploded, and the workers
were literally blown to pieces. The
other two men, whose names we have
not been able to ascertain, owing to the
shelter afforded by the skip standing
between them and the place of ex-
plosion, escaped without injury. The
debris struck against the skip and left
them untouched. They consider them.
selves remarkably fortunate in escaping
with big scare and few scratches.
The men who thus so suddenly were
called by death, were both single men.
Nelson was about 30 years of age, and
came from Winnemdcca, Nevada, al
though he had been working in Sutter
Creek several years. Wedge was about
% years old, and native of Sutter
Creek. His father was killed a year
or so ago at one of the mines in Sutter
Creek by timber rolling on him.

Fell Down a Well.

Mamie Williams, aged nine years,
daughter of Mrs. Emma Williams, who
lives near the new bridge on Pitt street,
had an unpleasant experience Tuesday
evening. With her older sister Gwin-
ME, she went to Mrs. Bradley's to get
some milk. Close to the path by the
side of the house there is an old well
planked over. The child, unaware of
the existence of the we'll, undertook to
walk across the plank. When in the
centre it broke, and Mamie fell into
the well. Her sister was in front, and
heard the crash OF the plank and the
splash in the water, and at once rea-
lized what had happened. At the first
plunge Mamie went over her head.
Upon her temperance her sister
called to her to hold on to the pipe
that went down into the water, which
she did, while Gwinnie called for help.
Mr.. Lepley, Clarence Parker and
Lincoln Love were. soon on the spot,
and succeeded in getting the child out
of her unpleasant predicament. Be-
yond the scare, Mamie came out of the
ordeal unhurt.

Fatally Burned.

An Italian named Michel Fassatte
was fatally burned in his cabin near
Shutdown on the night of April IA.
His partner who occupied the cabin
with him was away at the time. When
he returned on the night in question,
he found Fassatte severely burned
about the head and back, and suffering
great pain. It is supposed that he was
under the influence of drink; that by
means OF lighted candle carelessly
handled the bed clothing was ignited,
and the victim received his injuries
before he was aware of the fire. He
was brought to the county hospital
early on the morning of the 18th, but
in spite of all that could be done for
him, he died from the effect OF the
burns on the 21st instant. He has
been a resident of this section for many
years, and was commonly known as
"Garabaldi. He seems to have had
no relatives in the county.

A Miner Badly Injured.

An Italian miner named David Fran
zoia, while working in the Slopes of the
Oneida mine last Monday, was caught
in cave, and sustained very serious
injuries. He was working with an
other miner, but his companion re-
marked that the roof of the stope was
loose and got out of the way. Fran
zoia, however, started to use the pick,
when great mass of it fell. He was
carried by the debris about 10 feet, and
struck by the rock in several places.
His left leg was broken at the thigh,
and his right arm fractured in two
places. His right hand was badly
crushed. DR.. Gall attended the un-
fortunate man, and in addition to set
