WIRES DISARRANGED.
Telegraph Companies Ruffsr Severely from
Heavy Rains In the South and
Middle West

New York, March l.-While the tele-
graph companies are still struggling
to repair the damages resulting from
the sleet and gales Of last week, they
are now facing an additional derange-
ment Of their systems because OF
heavy transforms In tho middle west
and the south. 1t Is said that the
interruption Of telegraphic commune
caion has never before been so gen
eral or so long continued. In the Vi
cinity Of Philadelphia, where the
storm OF last Friday was most Sc
we're, the companies are still endeay-
ering to restore their wires, but the
damage was so extensive that the
work il not yet completed and prac-
tically all business for Baltimore,
Washington and the south is still
routed by way Of rittsburg and the
west. The transforms OF Thursday
night caused serious interruption to
this route. South Of Washington was
yesterday practically cut oil and the
interior Of Pennsylvania was In a
similar condition. In Ohio transforms
have also hampered telegraph service
seriously. Torrential rains, reported
to be of almost cloudburst severity,
have occurred in the south Atlantic
states. Mississippi and Alabama and
that region was yesterday practically
without communication. Severe thun-
derstorms have accompanied the rain
fall. In many sections rivers arc out
Of their banks and caused not only
arrangements Of wires, but much in
terruption to railway tranlc.

Captain Shane Says His Deed Wa
Purely Accidental.

Capt. J. 8. Shane gives the Topeka
Herald a clear account Of the unf0r-
tunate affair at Lawrence. The
shooting, he claims, was purely acct
dental, as he had no motive whatever
for the act and only fired the shot to
scare the boys who, as they passed,
made jeering remarks at him. To
the direct question Of "Why did you
shoot Ed Katherman?" be said:
There was no trouble between us
and 90 far as | know be had never
had anything to do with the black
board affairs. l never even thought

talk l have heard. be was coming

friend from dinner. was standing
In the door with both hands IN my
pockets. The two came along and
passed so close that they almost
brushed against me. As Katherman
passed he yelled, so I understood, a
jeer. That jeer l took to be smart
aleck impudence. He was now past
the door, and | still stood with my
hands in my pockets, my right hand
on my gun. l thought that | would
scare him into the middle Of next
week and quick as flash drew the
pistol, expecting to fire over bis head.

ing well back in the doorway. As |
fired, bis companion jumped and ran
a few steps and SO supposed they
both had. l then turned and walked
back into the gallery. ! could see
the people gathering on the outside,
and going to the window and looking
out could see his feet. That was the
first intimation had that he was bit,
supposing all the time that he had
run away. My son then came into
the gallery and asked me II l had
anything to do with that. l didn't
know exactly what he meant by that
because | did not know what had
happened. l don't remember pull
ing the trigger, but the effect shows
that did. l did not glance at the
gun and SO don't know at what angle
the muzzle was pointed but the pre-
mature shooting shows that it was
lower than l had intended. | want il
understood that l was not laying fol
anybody. l have had no opportunity
OF seeing lawyer and don't know ex'
actly what | shall do. 1t is my in
tention to 60 on the witness stand al

Fine Ore

Some specimens of ore from the Ma

shown us this week, which were lit
orally lousy with gold. The ore came
from a 30-inch ledge at a depth of a.
bout 20 feet. Assays of ore in which
no gold could be seen went as high as
$500 a ton. The ore spoken OF above
would doubtless go $4,000 or $4,000 per
ton. Mr.. Cavanaugh, who is having
some work done on the property has
shipped the samples back to his peo-
pie in Connecticut. We do not mean
TO say that this is average ore out OF
the prospect, but in all probability the
ledge will produe ore which will aver

SATISFIED WITH CARSON
It Looks Good to a Returning
DELEGATE

II = .
Charley Wyife, who has been. at
tending the Head Camp meeting OF
the Woodmen of the World in Cripple
Creek, COlradO, has returned to this
city. While he. saw many items OF
interest In his travels, yet he is sat
ings. Cripple Creey is strictly a
mining center, and Mr.. Wylie believes
that with proper work some of the
mines in this neighborhood will put
Carson on a big paying basis. In
many cases the prospectors have to
follow stringers down to the depth OF
several hundred feet before they come
onto the pay chute, while in this Sec
ton there is not prospect hole down
one hundred feet and the surface in
dications are even better than at Grip
pie Creek.
In speaking of the Camp meeting
he Stats that it was big affair from
start to finish. While Carson aiI not
he states that it was big affair from
second highes number of votes on the
list, Mr.. Wylie believes that with a
determined effort and petition from
the business men that at the next
meeting Carson will carry off the per-
simmon. The kilograms that were
forwarded from this city arrived af-
ter the work was finished which put
Carson out of the fight. Had they
been there on time a good chance for
the next meeting would have been
shown 1t is the intention Of Mr..
Wylie and other of the WOOdmen
lodge to make a big fight at the next
years session.
Another thing that struck Mr.. Wy
lie was the difference in the prices
of meals. If a man desired real or
binary meal it cost one dollar, ant
with anything ON the extra list i,
brought his bill UP to breaking a fiv,
dollar piece. He further stated tina
the meals served in the hotels in this
city were far in advance to that 0

his observation can handle the GROVE

the NEVADA EXHIBIT
It Attracts the Attention of all
Visitors

Mr.. Alfred Chartz, who has just re-
turned from San Francisco, reports
that he visited the Nevada exhibit at
the Nave at the Ferry. The first OBJ
ject he observed was a model of the
Pamlico mine, about IA miles from
Hawthorne, which has been reported
in the papers as model of one of
the Comstock mines. About 1886
Kaey sued the Pamlico people for
damages for extraction of ore, and
Mr.. Chartz was the shorthand report
er who reported the case, and as soon
as he saw the model he recognized it
as having been introduced in evidence
on the trial of the case but does not
understand how the model ever got
out of court. However, he recognized
an old friend, and observing large
number of people looking at the very
strange object, he made himself
known and volunteered an explation
of What it was and what it meant.
He began with a lecture on mining
locations and how each location had
Seen made, and what work had been
performed by the Pamlico people, and
what money had been realized, and
who had made the discovery, and who
had bought in, and who had owned in
the Droperty and recitad how the
clans had gathered for the legal fight
and how they had behaved through
| out, and how it had resulted. He al
| so explained all the working of the
mine from beginning to end. The
| crowd grew apace, and he was asked
10 repeat his explanation, which hi
did, and was kindly thanked for hi
| interest in the matter.
