A MIRACLE.
Workmen in the Great Western Shaft Escape
Injury from Falling Bucket.

Six men had miraculous escape
from death in the bottom of the new
shaft at the Great Western mine last
Wednesday shortly before the dinner
hour. The men were at work in the
bottom of the shaft mucking, which in
commoner terms means cleaning up the
rock which had been broken by the
blast. They had just loaded bucket
with ton of the broken rock and
sent it up TO be- dumped, 400 feet
above them. The shaft is perpen-
dicular one and the men were, thus.
directly under the ascending load
Just as the bucket reached the landing
brace the rope broke letting the whole
load fall back 10 the bottom. AS luck
woud have il, the men happened 20
crowd close up TO the walls under the
timbers and every one Of them escaped
without scratch
SO great was the momentum of the
bucket when il reached the bottom
that il buried itself in the rock.
Much alarm was felt on surface until
it was ascertained that none were
hurt when all about the work gave
utterancc to sigh of relief.

City Attorney f. II. Abbott has been
laboring hard 10 get the city bond
matter Strengthened out and to that
end has bean devoting a great deal of
his time lately. As related in these
columns some time ago. Mr. Abbott
succeeded ia placing all of the city
bonds that are to be sold with Cleye-
land concren Bond companies always
look into the legality Of the bonds that
they are about to buy before putting
up their money. They presume, when
man comes to them with the offer of
bonds that the goods offered them are
o. k. but that does not deter them from
making an Investigation of their own
to assure themselves that such is the
case That is the reason why delay
usually occurs between the placing of
bonds and the putting up of the money.
In the case at issue. the Clevelnad
company has is attorneys at work
looking into the legality, not only Of
the refunding bonds but the original
bonds as we'll. They have asked for all
records and other matter touching up
on the original issue of bonds by the
village of Crystal Falls and it is the
digging mp of this old data that has
kept Mr.. Abbott so occupied In the
days when the bonds were first placed
matters public were net kept, in all
cases, according to Hoyle. Much of
the data attending the issuing of these
bonds has been either mislaid or was
never prepared. In fact, about the
only record that can be found Of the
placing of the original bonds is the re-
cords Of the village council Mt which
the vote was taken to submit the ques-
tion Of bonding to the electors. The
records of the election, the proofs of
publication and of the posting of the
notices cannot be found All of these
have been asked for by the persons who
contemplate purchasing the rorss
Mr.. Abbott has sent certifya tiau-
scripts of the records and of eycly th.Y~
else tina the can find pertaining I, 'o
matter and thinks that there Il 80
question but that the attorne,s VIII
recommend the bonds as the SUI nt
court of this state has rendered de-
cision in which it is stated that in the
case OF a refunding bond the question
of the legality Of the original bonds is
not at issue.
In this connection it might be patent
to say that all of this trouble is caused
by the negligence of the village clerk.
The gentleman who was clerk at the
time the bonds were issued was not a
good official Had he been, this diff
Guilty would not have arisen. The
people cannot be too careful in the
selection of clerk. Every Tom,
Dick or Harry don't make a good man
in that office When a man is found
that fills the bill in the clerk Office
there should be no change because OF
some political whim.

AGAINST GRANTING RELIEF.
Adverse Action by Commissioner
Upon Mr.. Cragin's Request.

Upon Mr.. Cragin's Request.
Adverse action has been taken by the Dis
trict Commissioners upon the request Of
sessment for cutting weeds against the
property Of Mrs. H. Francis Cragin, of
which he is the agent. Mr.. Cragin COM
plains that he received no notice In con-
nection with the matter and the necessary
conditions Of the law were not compiled
with.
DR.. w. C. Woodward. the health officer
report made to his Office by an inspector in
July last. as well as the notice prepared
at that time for service on the owner The
health officer says that It was not served
because Of the inability Of the inspector
to discover her whereabouts. DR.. Wood
ward states further that 1t Is impossible In
the service OF notices OF this character, to
find agents for absent owners when The
property Is unimproved and contains no
signboard to indicate the name and address
Of the agent.
proposed cutting of the weeds was given
by advertisement. and he suggests that
Mr.. Crakin might have relieved his princi-
pal OF the cost OF advertising by the re-
moval of the weeds within the time allowed
by such advertisement, as under such cir
cumStances there seems to be no provision
for assessing the cost Of such advertising.
The assistant assessor, Mr.. e. w. w.
Griffin declares that the law was COM
piled with in all respects. and recommends
that Mr.. CraSin be informed that the
charge for the cutting OF the weeds was
correctly made and Is now listed on the
tax rolls.

SERVANTS AS WIVES.

From the London Express .s4+
The young man In society who caused
his family great pain and anger the other
day by marrying his servant girl can plead
the example of many celebrated men as an
extenuation or a Justification Of his act.
There was William Cobbett. the great
writer. and the "liberator Of the English
press" as he is frequently called. He was
only twenty-one years OF age when, walk
ing out In the streets OF Halifax. Nova SEQ
tia, one morning, he chanced to see q
buxom servant girl busily engaged in wash
ing the family linen. The girl, though only
thirteen years of age, was pretty, SO Cob
bett spoke to her, learned her name, and
the same evening called upon her parents
and said he would like to marry their
daughter.
This is probably the origin OF the express
sion. This is so sudden!' which blushing
matdens have made use Of ever since. The
parents Of the girl informed the young man
that they had no objection to him as a
son-in-law, but that he would have to walt
until their daughter was Of a marriageable
age. Accordingly, Cobbett gave the girl all
the money he had. which amounted to
f140. and she went to England and became
q servant in the family Of clergyman.

The late Sir Henry Parkes, premier of
New South Wales, Is another example. One
night, when dining at friends house. he

employ This she did, and for a short time
