Fire at Kennedy Flat.


The dwelling house belonging to Mrs.
Flaherty at Kennedy Flat, and oc-
cupied by the family of E. ]. Post,
chief machinist at the Kennedy mine,
was completely destroyed by fire last
Tuesday. The fire is reported to have
originated by the two year old child
playing with matches, thereby setting
fire to some clothing in a closet. When
Mrs. Post discovered the flames, they
had assumed such proportions as to be
beyond control. 1t was all she could
do to save herself and child. All the
household furniture was destroyed.
Mr.. Post had only recently moved his
family to Kennedy fiat from Sutter
Creek. The property destroyed is val
ued at about $1,000. We have not
heard if it was covered by insurance.

A Small Cyclone.

A peculiar feature of the windstorm
of Thursday was the whirlwind that
carried away section of the roof of
Sheriff Norman's residence, near the
brewery. Mr. Norman was at the barn
attending to the horses at the time,
and saw the cyclone approaching. It
came from the wind quarter, and looked
like slender column of vapor or water
with a gyrating motion. When it
struck the house it stripped off the
shingles from space of about a square
yard, and carried the loose shingles in
a body to hight of from rs to 100 feet,
dropping the debris gradually over the
territory in Its path. 1t was minia-
ture cyclone of the Kansas brand.

The Proposed Electric Railroad.

Wilford Dennis, who with his father,
Jackson Dennis, of Sutter Creek, has
been in San Francisco for week in the
interest of the projected electric rail-
road to connect Jackson and Sutter
Creek with lone, returned from the
city Wednesday night. He reports
that the proposed line was received
with gratifying encouragement by the
moneyed men, and that there is every
reason to believe that the proposition
will be pushed to completion. We
understand it is the intention to raise
most of the capital required to build
the road outside the county. With
two railroad schemes now being
earnestly agitated, we certainly can
indulge we'll founded hope that the
days of the isolation OF the mining belt
of Amador county from railroad con-
nection will soon be thing of the past.

Mrs. vioinrs Condition Critical.

Word was received from district at
torney Vicini early in the week that
the condition of Mrs. Vicini, who is
under treatment in the McNutt hos
pital in San Francisco, was extremely
critical. She was operated upon for
an internal abscess or tumor. Upon
examination, however, it was found
that it was impracticable to remove the
growth by surgical operation. The
cavity was thereupon closed, the oper-
ating surgeon announcing that to pro
ceed with the operation would almost
inevitably result fatal. At last ac-
counts received Thursday night it was
stated that the patient was resting
easier, and some hope is entertained Of
her recovery. The district attorney
will remain in San Francisco until the
present critical stage is passed.
