very narrow escape from death late last
evenipg. The men were obliged to per-
form the greater part OF their labor al
night. when the most of the machinery
was stopped. as they could not place the
pipes In position while the pets anu
wheels were In motion.
Three OF the large gang or men were
st work laying main pipe, whlch WAS
10 furnish water for the services through
ont the mill. In trench that had been ex-
cavated by a number of Italians during
the day.
This was some ten feet deep. and while
busily engaged in their labors outside the
vault cayed In.
Fortunately there was not suiiicient
amount of the bank that gave away TO
bury the men further than up to their
waists. but one OF the number Thought
that his leg had ben broken.
A gang of men went to work digging
the'men out. and II was found that none
were in the least injured, and, In ract
all. a few moments later. were at work
AZ the works this morning none cared
20 give any information concerning the
accident. nor could the names OF the men

pretty lady had moved into the upper
rooms OF one OF the buildings on the west
side Of the square and was quite q fnrt,
and at times was so bold as TO stand m
one OF the windows OF her rooms ana cast
goo-goo eyes at the boys.
Yesterday the young man caught
glimpse OF the pretty girl and began NJ
once to ffirt with her. but he got no re-
turns for his efforts which he kept UP
for about a half hour or until half
dozen OF the gang got about him and told
him that he was hlrtsng with dress
makers dummy. the fellow got mad and
has not been seen In the square since.

learned that their smile was wasted.

benefit OF the school fund OF ST. Mary's
parish was so successful that the Rev.
