Break in the Wire.

Last Wednesday afternoon the cleo
trio wire of the Standard Company
was cut near the substation just below
town by flying rock from blast, set
off by the road crew. The broken
wire carrying 10000 volts fell to the
ground and for few moments made
things lively. The pole was set on fire
and the rock and earth about the fallen
wire were quickly melted into lava and
fused into a solid CLASSY substance.
The telephone was affected and most
of the fuses burned out. Word was
telegraphed to the plant, and the cur
rent shut off as soon as possible. There
was no wire in town to repair the line,
but Thos. Burrow drove over from
Sutter Creek in two hours with the
necessary supplies. The line was re-
paired and the lights on about nine
O'Clock. .-Calaveras Prospect.

$50, at the residence of Mr.. and Mrs.
Geo. Folger on Mob Hill, VIM. T..
Jones ard Mary Adele German were
quietly married by Rev Father Gleeson
of the Catholic church. Only few
relatives and friends of the happy

couple and added grace and dignity to
the impressive ceremony. The bride
was handsomely attired in a beautiful
dress of white crepe de chene trimmed
in peau de sole and applique. The newly
married couple are very popular among
the young people of Jackson, and both
are prominent in the local parlors of Ma
tive Sons and Daughters of the Golden
West. The bride is president of Ursula

life. Mr.. and Mrs. Jones will make
their temporary home with Mrs. Peek.
Later they will go to Blue Lakes and
spend the summer, where the groom
has position with the Standard Elec-
trio Company.
About twenty of the intimate friends
of the happy couple, assisted by the
mandolin club, serenaded them Thurs
day evening at the home of Mrs. Peek.
Good cheer was the sentiment of the
hour, enlivened by music and song.
Light refreshments were served. The
sincerity and good wishes were mani;
tested by all present and duly apprec-
lated by the young couple. 1t was
nearly midnight before the serenading
party took their departure.

SUICIDE OF ARTHUR M. SCOTT.
No Cause for the Act Other than Da,
spondency.

Coroner Huberty held an inquest in
lone on Friday last over the BODY OF
Arthur M. Scott, who was found dead
IN the park near the race track on
Thursday evening. The body was
discovered by Michael Scully, who lives
at the track, about O'Clock Thursday
evening, who Immediately reported the
matter to the authorities. 1t appears
from the facts developed at the investi-
gatlon that the deceased repaired to
the park a short. time before the
tragedy. The report of pistol was
heard by w. Sutherland between 5 and
b In the evening. A hammerless re-
volver of 3S calibre, with one empty
chamber, lay by his side, and a bullet
wound in the head, told the story of
the end. Two unsealed letters were
found on the body, both dated April
~, the day before the shooting. One
was addressed to Miss Grace Westfall.
and the other to Mrs. r. R. Scott.
mother OF deceased. Each letter was
written on half sheet OF note paper.
with lead pencil. These documents
throw no light on the cause of self de-
struction, other than to show that the
act was pre-meditated, and that a
orooding melancholy disposition was
the moving cause. In both letters he
stated that he had had no trouble with
any one. He requested that the letters
be not published, and that the one to
Grace" having two-cent stamp at
tached, be sealed and deposited in the
postoffice. The jury returned verdict
in accordance with the above facts.
Deceased was born at Kennedy Flat,
October IL, 1875. Most of his child
hood days were passed at lone, At
the age of six he was severely in
lured by a wagon wheel passing over
his head, and was subject to attacks of
headache from that time. For the
last three years these attacks became
more frequent and severe. He worked
much of his time for the railroad COM
pany,land was a sober, steady and in
dustrious young man. Besides father
and mother, he leaves four brothers
and two sisters to mourn his sad and
untimely end.
The funeral took place Saturday

MINING NOTES.

EMMONS. = The Cranmer brothers
have cleaned out the old shaft on this
property at Pine Grove and taken out
ten tons of ore from a drift near the
surface. This rock they expect to
crush within the next few days.
KENNEDY.-The water was all out of
the west shaft Wednesday morning.
Tools were replaced in the mine and
some men put to work to fix things for
the resumption of mining. At the east
shaft the water is nearly drained. In
a lew days this great property will be
in full working order. All the mines
are little short handed at present, as
during the strike it is estimated that
nearly 200 men left the camp. Men
are coming here, however, and the
shortness OF help in any capacity is not
likely to be of long duration.
FREMONT CoNsoLIDATEp.-At this
mine signs of a prosperous future are
In evidence. The grading for the new
forty stamp mill has been completed.
and on next Monday work will be COM
menced on the concrete foundation.
The lumber and other materials are on
the ground, and it is expected to have
the mill finished and ready for work
early in the fall.
ZEILA.-Both mine and min are in
operation, and both will have a full
working forcein few days. The en-
ployes are more than satisfied with the
working shifts. One shift goes to work
at 0 p. M and gets out at 2:aO a. M,
the other shift commences at I a. m.
and gets out at 4:aO. This arrange
ment works to the satisfaction; in fact
the miners are not backward in ex-
pressing their qualification at the man.

The funeral of John P. ,Dwyer, twho
diedIApril %, took place Thursday at
10 a. m. from the Catholic church,
whore mass was held by Rev. Father
Gleeson. Many relatives and friends
of the deceased came from different
parts of the state to attend the funeral,
and large gathering of Jackson peo-
pie was present to pay their tribute of
respect to the departed one and the
bereaved family. The body was inferred
in the Catholic cemetery, where the
grave was hidden from view by the
many floral pieces from the hands of
sympathizing friends. The pallbearers,
all lifelong friends of the deceased,
were S. N. Spagnoli, V. J. Chichizola,
C. L. Culbert, John Huberty, Geo.
Bonnefoy and VIM. Going.
Jack Dwyer was one of the best
known young men in Amador county,
and his uutimely death, although not
unexpected, cast a gloom over Jack
son. He was yet young man, but his
death was caused by quick consump-
tion, the result OF cold contracted
while in Alaska less than year ago.
When he realized his condition he
started for home, and was met in
Seattle last January by his wife and
Mrs, Chas. Ginocchio, his sister, who
brought him home. Since then his
health has gradually failed, until death
relieved him of all further suffering.
He leaves to mourn his death, widow
and two little girls, father, mother,
three brothers and two sisters, all of
whom have the heartfelt sympathy of
the entire community.
