Where Putnam Canned

The heroic deeds of General Israel
Putnam are being recalled and told
many times over these summer days
by the large delegations that visit the
old camp at Redding. Conn, where
Putnam and the Continental troops he
commanded were stationed in the Rev
olutionary war. Every young Ameri-
can who has ever read history is fa-
miliar with the events in which Gen.
eral Putnam. figured prominently. "Old
Put" as he was sometimes called, was
a good specimen Of the old Continental
commander.
The old Putnam camp is a popular
place just now, and hardly a day passes
that a gathering of some sort does
not take place at the grounds. Among
the visitors are those coming from all
parts OF Connecticut who are interest
ed in the historic features of the place
One visitor the other day remarked:
"I hardly expected to find the place in
such fine shape. ] looked for rough
rocky and Withholding camp but in
stead find a handsome memorial park
with all Of the historic features care
fully preserved"
And such is the fact. for the COM
missions appointed by the Governor
from time to time to have charge o
the camp have I'm turn done their duty
in trying to improve the place and at
the same time not rob IL of any of its
historic features These commissions
have spent the moneys well that have
been entrusted to them in the various
appropriations made by the General
Assembly. grounds were never in
prettier shape than they were when
the present camp commission visited
the place recently The flowers and
foliage looked fresh and bright, and
the walks and drives were in good con-
ditlon. for the keeper and his assist
ants have been busy all the spring

GALICIAN PEASANTS
SLAUGHTERED BY TROOPS

Vienna, Aug. 6.-The strike Of Cali
clan peasants is at present spreading
to districts which have hitherto not
been affected, and there have been
many conflicts between the peasants
and the military. A detachment of Uh-
lans attacked 500 peasants at Pother-
ing; many of the latter were wounded
and the soldiers made 175 arrests. The
prisoners were confined over night,
densely overcrowded, in a stable, and
were taken to jail the next day in a
fainting condition, not having tasted
food for "a hours.

The Hotel the Santa Fe Is Going to Build
 at the Grand Canyon.

The Santa Fe is going to build the most expensive hotel in the ter ritory at the Grand Canyon, says the Arizona Republican. The hotel has been in contemplation for long time, but at first it was in tended that the hotel should be a small structure. The plans have just been materially altered. The building will have 100 rooms, and no money will be spared to make the hotel one of the finest in the country. Charles Whittlesey, of Topeka, is the architect in charge of the plans.
 The hotel will be built at the

 Architects say that this is a com bination never before attempted, but the idea of the architect is to bring the building into harmony with the wonderful scenery of the Canyon rather than to put blot upon its beauty by the erection of conventional structure of brick and stone, as has been done in many of the scenic resorts of the east.
 The hotel will be built on the twenty acre grant given to the Santa Fe by the government for station and terminal purposes. The site has been selected and construction will soon be under way.

MYSTERY OF PETER OLSON.
The Man Whom James Mather Con-
fesses to Have Murdered, at Mus
kegOn, Mich, in 1875.

Niles, Mich, Jan. 25.-The Elkhart
Qnd.) police have received a letter
which throws light on the Mather
murder mystery. Mrs. C. G. Carey, of
Albion, Mich, writes that she has just
discovered that Peter Oleson, whom
James Mather claims he murdered at
Muskegon, Mich, in 1875, was her
brother, who left the family home in
Bergen, Norway, in the spring of that
year. When the vessel, on which he
sailed as seaman, returned in the
fall of 1875, the captain said Olson
had taken passage with an English
captain for America.
Mrs. Carey says she has been in
this country IS years. The first she
heard of the probable fate of her
brother or anything of his where
abouts, was when she recently read
published accounts of Mather's con-
fession. Mather is willing to return
to Muskegon, but doctors at the
Langcliffe asylum say he has paresis
and will get worse. Mather is worth
$1,000. He claimed his conscience
forced him to confess.

DEATH IN A COAL MINE.
Cwenty-One Miners Killed and Eight seri.
Ously Injured by Dust
Explosion.

oskaloosa, Ia, Jan. 25.-Ths Lost
Creek coal mine was the scene, yes
terday, of a terrible disaster, which
cost the lives of 81 miners. Eight
others were seriously injured. The
bodies of the dead men were recov-
cred from the mine and lie in an i'm
provised morgue near the scene Of
their death. The injured are under
the care of surgeons in temporar.'
hospital equipped near the mine.
The Lost Creek mine is ten miles
southeast of Oskaloosa, aud three
miles north of Eddyville. The cxplo-
sion occurred at the noon hour, and
was what is known as a dust explD-
sion. The miners had just fred their
usual noon shots, one of which
proved to be a fizzle, the powder
flame igniting the gas and causing
the explosion.
Smoke and debris were blown out
Of the mine in column two hundred
fett high. A part of tl.t top works
was torn away and the fans and the
cages were wrecked. This made he
work of rescue very slow, and it was
tlIec o'c'tcl, before volllt1ar lar
tics dared to venture inUo abr east
entry, where the explosion occurred
The men of the rescue party
fought their way into the mine,
where a shocking sight met their
gaze. The dead and in inred were
tcrrihly luIred and mu:ila.ai, lne
Of them almost beyond recognition.
Beyond where the bodies lay the fire
was burning fercely, and for time
it was feared that the workings
would be wholly destroyed audi the
bodies incincrated. Finally, however
1l,c flames were subdued, but not un-
til several Of the rescue party had
suceumbed to the fumes. The hod,es
we've then collected ami carried ic
the top of the shaft.
At the time of the explosion more
than one hun lred men were in the
mines, but all except those who were
in the east entry escaped with only
slight injury.
Total property damage will be
about $4,000.
1t was nearly six o'clock last even
ing when the last of the dead was
taken out, and the scenes of anguish
among the families of the victims
were most pitiful. Nearly all of the
men were married and leave families
in poor circumstances. The mine is
owned by the Lost Creek Fuel Co. of
this city, and has been in operation
about one year.
