in this light, even the humblest

STORM KING
AND OTHERS.
Getting Out Timber and Pre-
pairing for Winter Work.

Manager Costello, of the Storm
King, operated by the Forest Mining
company, is in from the mine today.
He has, he states, a force of men
at work getting out timbers and
tagging preparatory to winter opera
tions. He expects to drive between
1000 and 1000 feet on the three
ledges during the fall and winter.
On the Mckinley and Roosevelt,
paralleling the Storm King and
operated by the Advance, an
associated company, Mr.. Costello
states that two shifts are at work. A
$50 crosscut will be driven to tap
the ledge at a depth Of $50 feet.
The ledge has seven feet Of ore
between walls, four feet of which
runs from Sl5 to $50.
Mr.. Costello says that few days
ago Wiley and Atkins located
claim on Sloan mountain, Cable
Cove, near the Storm King, where
a ledge had not been suspected. The
rock shows rich gold sulphides,
and they traced the lead throughout
the entire length Of the claim. The
mountain Is literally packed with
ore, he says.

THE CASE OF MRS. BEcKERLE.

That was gallant bridegroom who, when his sew
told him she had been insulted by
the coored porter Pullman car telegraphed ahead
to the railroads representative to have policeman
meet the train at the station Frederick Beckerle
to protect, love and cherish Olga A. Beckere
distant relative They started their honeymoon from
Richmonds HILL L. L. and before they had gone many
miles the bridegroom called upon to make good
his oath. The bride complained that the porter forc-
bly, detained her in the while he put to her half a
dozen insulting questions. Here opportunity for
the bridegroom and he to it-by telegraphng for
policeman The case which is to be settled in the
United States circuit court-for the railroad company
failed to provide the poiceman-serves admirably to IL
ustrae the difference between the Norths treatment of
the negro and the Souths
Had the groom been fiery Southerner he would
have teegraphed ahead for mob and employed the
time that elapsed before he reached the station
shooting off the porters ears, fingers and The
Southerners impulse would have been avoid police
rather than to seek one
Of course it argues well for the Northern bride
grooms cOoheadedness that when he heard his brides
story he thought instantly of the companys gross
ngs and did allow his rage to wreak such injury
the porter that he should be able appear at
the trial, in box marked EXHIBIT A." Still, it
hardly probable that any other Northerner in like
circumstance, would have spent his time elegraphing
tor a policeman when the who nsulted his bride
at hand
Aside from the unusual conduct of the bridegroom
the of Mrs Becker1e against the Pullman company
bound to excite interest because this will be the first
time the United States circuit court has been called
to decide whether railroad is responsible for the
conduct Of its employee when that conduct does no ma
terial harm. Also because it will have to decide be-
tween the word of a negro and the word of white
when there is absolutely evidence to support
the testimony of either.
