Douglas Island news., 1903-11-18

In many of our western mines, as we'll as iu the iron mines of the North west. variety of nationalities is found, but it seems probable that the mines on Douglas Island in Alaska-including the Alaska Treadwell and the Alaska Mexican-can show greater variety than almost any others in this coun- try. The table given elsewhere shows that the list includes Americans, Swedes, Norwegians, Danes, Scotch, Austrians, Slavonians, Irish, German, French, English, Italians, Films, Rus sians. Japanese, Indians, while one sol itary Turk brings up the rear of the list. The largest proportion shown in the table is that of Americans, 26.5 per cent. Norwegians and Danes, taken to- gether, were p per cent, while the Aus trians and Slavonians, also given to- gether, were 24.5 per cent. The total number of men on the list is 824, and the division of these among F nation alities is quite a sufficient variety, one would think, to show the cosmopolitan nature of our population. The only mystery is how the Turk should have found bis way to the coast of Alaska, and what special work he is doing in the mines there.-Engineering and Min ing Journal.

He it was who paid the Nome City s1OOO to carry him direct to seldovia ahead of the Ex- celsior, so that he could get into the field before his rival huntsman from England. Mir.

Accident in the Tunnel.

While train of cars was being back
ed through the Wilkes street tunnel be-
tween five and six o'clock yesterday
evening a gondola literally broke IN
half and the two pieces shot upward in
the form of a pyramid or letter a. The
track was blocked until the car could be
removed. Smash-ups and run-otfs have
ever been common in the tunnel and on
the curve at the east end, but OF late
thew are of frequent occurrence. The
dimensions of the. tunnel are too narrow
TO accommodate modern passenger or
freight cars, while the larger locomotives
are unable to enter it. About two years
ago the Southern Railway Company
started to build another line around the
city and constructed the same as far as
the Alexandria Brick Company's yards.
In consequence, it is said, of threatened
litigation with the owners of certain
lands on the northern shore of Hunting
creek the work was stopped and the loop,
which all hoped would be formed, was
abandoned. 1t is thought by many that
the route around the city would prove
profitable to the company, as the loss by
the demolition of cars by the present
system would pay for it in few years.

Trial of Hamilton.

The trial of Robert Hamilton, indict-
ed for wrecking the New York and Flor
ida express at Ravensworth, February
IS. which began at Fairfax Courthouse
Yesterday, ran into night session and
many witnesses were examined for the
State, among them J. w. Loving, con-
ductor of the wrecked express, and q.
%. Coleman, the Pullman conductor,
who stated that the switch light was out
and the switch turned and fastened
down. Tobias Javins, night operator,
said Hamilton came into the office act
ing in very unusual manner. Other
witnesses swore that the prisoner seemed
nervous about the wreck and that his
hand was seen to be lacerated few days
afterward.
The Commonwealth closed its case at
noon today, after having examined twelve
witnesses. At 8 O'Clock the defense had
put one witness on the stand and will
probably introduce but five or six more.
The Commonwealth will doubtless call
to the stand equally as many witnesses
in rebuttal.
The prevailing opinion among those
who have heard the case so far IS that
the Jury will either return a verdict OF
acquittal or fail to agree, as it is thought
the evidence will not be sufficient to
convict.

Surprised Crapshooters.

Lieutenant Smith while walking around
Fishtown on Sunday afternoon surprised
several white and colOred men who were
absorbed in a game Of crap. The players
ran in every direction when they saw the
lieutenant, and a young white man
gathered up the "pOt," amounting to
forty cents. Warrants were subsequent
" issued and officers yesterday arrested
most of those who had been engaged in
the game. Some left collateral and for
feited the same by failing to appear this
morning. The others were arraigned
and dismissed. To colored boys who
had been arrested for tossing cents had
the same leniency shown them.

The CARLYLE House.

All who have the proper respect for
historic landmarks must rejoice that the
old Carlyle House, seometimes called the
Braddock House, in Alexandra, is to be
restored. 1t is to be hoped that the work
of restoration will be done in such way
as to make this interesting old structure
safe for many generations to come.
We are perhaps fortunate in having
Just across the river a city con-
tanning so many monuments of the past
as Alexandria. The rapid and cratic
growth of Washington has caused the
destruction of many of the landmarks OF
Colonial days in this city, and, more
over, the importance of Alexandria in
those days considerably exceeded that OF
the present capital. This Virginia city
has luckily preserved many of its old
buildings, and among them none is more
interesting than that which the Society
for the Restoration of Historic Alex
andria has now taken in charge.
1t is a little odd that visitors to this
CITY should so often overlook the Car
lyle House in their sightseeing, for 1t
is quite as we'll worth attention as Christ
Church. The quaint rooms, the long,
low passage from the inner courtyard
to door in the terrace, the underground
rooms reminiscent of Indian attacks,
and the terrace on which Washington
and Lafayette sat, slipping their
wine and discussing campaigns, are
perhaps as interesting, from an historical
point of view, as anything in this coun-
try. We have not many relics OF the
past, aud it would be wise thing to
take care of those we have. Washing

colored Boy Killed by Train.

Oscar Mast, a colored boy about four
teen years of age, was instantly killed
by jumping from a train near Clifton,
on the Southern Railway, yesterday.
Mast lived near Orange. While playing
with some boys he accidentally shot a
little boy with an air rifle, inflicting a
slight wound. The boys mother threat
ened to have him arrested. The boy
jumped freight train at Orange to
escape, and when the train was nearing
Clifton he saw the conductor approach
ing, attempted to jump, fell, and was
cut to pieces under the tram. M
father was burned to death only few
weeks ago while attempting to save his
children from burning building.

Bodies Found.

The body of Richard Waters, who left
his home in Washington on Christmas
Eve to visit his mother, was found yes
terday in the branch near the Fair
Grounds, at Upper Marlboro. An in
quest was held and the remains were
placed in Mount Carmel Cemetery.
The body of an unidentified man was
found floating in the river south of the
Long bridge last night. 1t is apparently
that of a German, who weighed about
2l5 pounds. One leg was bandaged.
The body was this morning identified as
that of Rudolph Blacksmith, butcher,
60 years old, of 1917 Twelfth street,
northwest, Washington. Mr.. Baker
smith conducted stand in the Northern
Liberty Market and had been missing
from his home since last Thursday.

Want Flagpole.

Two signal service men come here
from Washington yesterday in an auto
mobile and sought ex-Alderman Dobie
whom they asked to turn the Aagpole
ON Windmill Hill over to them in order
that it could be used in connection with
the signal service. Mr.. Dobie told them
it had been erected by the democrats of
the First ward who had on two Oc-
casion hoped it would aid in the election
of William Jennings Bryan as Presi-
dent that the attempts had failed and
that the pole was now virtually abandon
ed property. So far as he was in
dividually concerned he had no objec-
ton to the government utilizing it.
Later the men went back to Washing
ton without saying what action would
be taken in the premises.

Reckless Shooting.

About $50 O'Clock Sunday morning
some persons in a yard or from back
window on Royal street near the corner
of Duke street, without any thought OF
the damage that might be done, fired q
pistol on rifle four or five times towards
Fairfax street. One of the bullets en-
tered the dining room window of the
residence of Mr.. f. Ii. Kemper on
Fairfax street SCATTERING the window.
The bullet was foundin the dining room.
Had any of the family been sitting on
the porch there would likely have been
serious results from this reckless shoot
ing. The police should keep a sharp
lookout for such persons and severe pun
ishment should be imposed on those
caught using fire arms in the city limits

Man in the House.

About IL o'clock last night young
colored woman employed in the house OF
Mrs. Elizabeth Foster, TIA Queen street,
discovered that a man had entered the
house and her screams caused neighbors
to hasten to ascertain the case of the
alarm. A gentleman living nearby
guarded the front door with a shotgun
and another stationed himself at the
rear entrance with a pistol to keep the
intruder from escaping. A telephone
message had in the meantime been sent
to the station house. Officers Belts,
Knight and Beach soon appeared and
explored the premises carefully, but
failed to find the man, who had evident
ly made his escape when the colored
woman screamed. 1t was apparent, how
ever, that man had been in the house,
as rear window was open and foot
prints could be seen in the yard.
