Died in Woodland.

A message was received here yester-
day that M. McCutchen, father of j.
McCutchen, died at his home in Wood
land yesterday. j. McCutchen went
down Sunday on account of his fathers
serious illness. On his arrival, how
ever, the old gentleman was much i'm
proved, and he went on to San Fran
cisco to purchase stock for the dry
goods department of his store here.
While there he was notified of a change
for the worse in the condition of the
sick man, and he hastened home, his
father, however, passing away before
his arrival. The funeral will he held
in Woodland tomorrow, and j. Nc
Cutchen is expected to return to Jack
son Sunday evening.

Dwelling Burned.

The fOur-roomed dwelling house
recently built by B. Previtali on
the Jackson Gate road, on a lot in
the Bright addition, was entirely de-
stroyed by fire last night. The fire
was discovered about 10 O'Clock. How
it originated is mystery, but
the circumstances wear suspicious
look, The place was unoccupied; no
stove has eyer been in the house since
its erection. The flames seemed to
shoot up all at once, and this fact is
significant considering the incessa Mt
rains we have had, and the consequent
wet condition of the building. It is
said that the smell of coal oil was
strong. A party was seen leaving the
premises short time before the fire
was discovered. The residence of J.
Coombs is within a few feet of the
premises, and it was all the fire-fig hters
could do to save it from the flames. 1t
took fire several times, but determined
effort saved it. The Previtali place was
utterly destroyed. We have not heard
that it was insured. The loss is esti-
mated at $500. There was lien against
it for lumber bought from F. M. Whit
more for about $3.50.

Died in the Hospital.

1. L. Godfrey, the welI-known car
penter of Water street, died in the
county hospital on Tuesday last, after
lingering illness, incident to extreme
old age. He was one of the old timers
here, having worked at his trade in
Jackson in early days. He went back
to the eastern states, however, and re-
mained there number of years, but
returned to California some twelve
years ago, and has remained in jack
son ever since. He was one of the most
expert workers in wood that ever came
to the county. Samples of his handi--
work in the making of high class fur
niture are found in Jackson, which
testify to his wonderful skill in that
line. He lived alone in his business
premises on Water street, and worked
at his trade until a few months ago,
when the infrmities of age so pressed
upon him that he was unable to take
care of himself. He then stayed at the
Globe hotel for some weeks, but finally
was persuaded to go to the hospital
about two months ago. His son, DR..
F. Fl. Godfrey, of Bloomington, Hill
nois, came out to visit him the latter
part of January, and intended to take
him back to Illinois if his health would
permit. 1t was deemed unwise to at
tempt such a trip in the depth of win
ter, so the son returned to the east,
hoping that he would be able to stand
the journey in the spring. The doctor
was notified of his death, and sent word
to give him proper burial here. The
funeral took place today, the remains
being inferred in the Catholic come
terry, the deceased having embraced
that faith few hours prior to his death.
Deceased was native of Maine, S. years
of age. He was man of integrity,
honorable in all his dealings, and was
highly respected by all who know him
for his many excellent traits of char
acter.

To Purchase Traction Business.

1t is reported that the promoters Of
the electric railroad from lone to. the
mining belt have made arrangements
to purchase from D. Mccall the trac-
tion engine outfit used last summer,
together with wagons and tanks,
horses, mules and harness, used in the
delivery of oil to the various mines.
The object is to secure the contracts
for hauling freight to the mines, which
contracts are now held by Mccall, and
which would be turned over to the
railroad company in the event of the
deal being consummated upon the
completion of the railroad. These
freight contracts are an important item
of business for the projected road. By
this move the company secures the
freight business of the mines, taking at
the same time the expensive traction
outfit, which, however, can no doubt
be turned to profitable use in some
other direction.

KILLED BY A CAVE.
Manuel Acuna Struck by Falling Rock
in the Keystone Mine and Fatally
Injured

A young man named Manuel Acuna
yielded up his life last Tuesday to the
perils incident 10 the avocation of the
miner, while working in the keystone
mine at Amador City. The victim and
his fellow worker, named Sherman
Clark, were employed in shoveling
rock at the breast of the 500 level.
They started in on the shift about 7
O'Clock, and nothing occurred to
awaken any fear of danger until the
untoward accident occurred which
severed the two co-workers forever.
At half-past 1 O'Clock mass of rock,
estimated at two tons, fell suddenly
and without the slightest warning. A
piece weighing $50 pounds struck
Acuna, fracturing his right leg and
crushing the vital organs. His COM
panion Clark was bruised up slightly.
Help was at hand forthwith, and Acuna
was soon rescued from the debris, and
sent on top. He lived for about an
hour and half, and was conscious
almost to the end. Coroner Huberty
went over the same afternoon, and
held an inquest before the following
named jurors: o. E. Martin, H. D.
Calvin, Geo. G. Davis, H. F. Coster, j.
B. Bastian aud S. G. Tuttle. After
hearing the testimony, the jury re-
turned verdict of accidental death,
exonerating the Keystone Company
from all blame in connection with the
unfortunate affair. Acuna's life was
sacrificed to the unavoidable perils
that beset the underground work OF
the miner,
Deceased was single man, % years
OF age, and native of Amador coun-
ty, residing in the neigh borhood OF
Drytown. He was a member of the
miners union of Amador City, and the
funeral was conducted on Wednesday
under the management of that organi-
zation, the remains being Inferred in
the Drytown cemetery.

MINING NOTES.

GwIN.-The damage to the mine
caused by letting the skip down the
shaft, resulting in the instant death of
Chas. W. Levensky, was repaired by
Sunday. A new cable 200 feet long
was brought up by express, and Sum
day morning the hosting out of that
compartment was resumed. The dam
age amounted to something like s27OO
for the cable alone, as it is impractic-
abe to use an old cable after an acci-
dent of that kind. The skip was also
battered up badly by contact with the
sump. 1t was repaired under the direc-
ton of Garbarini Bros, and is still in
service.

Destructive Fire at Preston.

Tuesday night red glare in the west
was visible in Jackson for over two
hours, and those who noticed it were
of the opinion that it was caused by a
serious conhagration. Wednesday it
was learned that one of the buildings
of the Preston School of Reform at
lone had been destroyed by fire during
the previous night. The structure
was known as the Trades building
next in size to the main administration
building. The fire originated in the
furnace room; how it started we have
not learned. Heroic efforts were made
to stay its march, but in spite of all
that could be done the building was
entirely Quilted. The loss is estimated
at $50, 900. The disaster will badly
cripple the institution for time, as all
the machinery and tools used in in
structing the boys in the mechanical
arts were contained in this building.
