Emp, ess Eugen,e's Jewels.

The story of the Servian jewels must
recall to the ex-Empress Eugene her
own experiences when the waves first
began to dash about her throne. She
determined to sell the greater part of her
jewels in hope to do something ITO save
the dynasty. Publicity had to be avoid
ed, and mar4>et was not be found in
Europe, newly thrilled by the horrors
of Sedan. The Empress looked to the
East for a market. An Englishman was
on his way home for a holiday. A te1e-
gram at Bombay awaited him from one
OF the greatest European financial
houses and informed him of the deter
nination of the Empress. The difficulty
had been to find man with sufficient
influence to be able to approach the
princes of India in secret with view to
selling them the Jewels. Not less hard
was it to lay lands on the man who had
moral strength sufficient to carry with
him surreputiously hundreds of thous-
ands of pounds worth of Jewels in
lands where the Queens writ did not
run, and where the protection of the
constable is not Immediately available.
Every care had been taken to insure
secrecy. The jewels had been taken to
settings; the latter "jointed" to admit
OF their holding and being worn around
the waist of their bearer in belt of soft
leather. The Englishman put on the
belt, armed himself with a trustv re-
volver, engaged a trusty servant, and set
forth on his mission. For three months
he wandered over road, rail and river
The responsibility of his trust. the CON
slant danger of discovery, the Difficulty
of disposing of his burden were worries
that combined almost to xii him. A.
last he was successful. The Jewels were
sold to Prince who esteemed then, tbe
more for that they were the pronrrtv
OF distressed Empress. There would
have been trouble, no doubt, had the
matter been known at the India Of6ce
but the man who discharged the under'
taking afforded an example of courao.
and solid worth IN trying condit;o1s
which merit place in the story of com
mercial integrity and disregard of ner-
sonal danger. Far less exciting enter

to Elk lake, where Elk creek runs into
the lake. We had learned Of a whole

creek we must have seen 500 pounds
of trout and a person can catch them
as fast as ne can put on the bait. We
were there on June 23d, and the trout
were then beginning to run to spawn.
The trouble is in the creek, as there
is a large fir stump, which stands in
the center of the creek, and has caused
the water to form an under-fall, and
at the time of spawning there is not
enough water passing to allow the
trout to get up the creek, and what do
spawn below this obstruction are eat

could be done in a few hours work,
the trout might run up for a mile, as
1t seems fairly clear. The fall l refer
to is about four feet, and trout could
run this If there was water enough.
The creek forks just above the falls.

10 DROP TO DEATH
Fall Hundreds of Feet to Bottom
of a Shaft.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Nov. 2.-During
the lowering of the miners at the
Auchcloss shaft of the Delaware,
Lackawanna & Western at Nanticoke,
eight miles south of here, today the
steel cable broke and the carriage load
of men was dropped to the bottom of
the shaft, a distance of several hun
dred feet. Ten men were in the car
riage at the time, and it Is reported
that all of them were killed Details
are meagre, for the company officials
refuse absolutely to give out any in
formation.
Another report says that the acci-
dent was not caused by the cable rope
breaking, but something went wrong
with the machinery in the engine and
the carriage was carried with great
force against the Sheaves. 1t left its
fastenings and fell into the dump at
the bottom, which contained six feet
of water, and the men who were not
killed by the shock and force of the
fall were drowned. A number of
rescuers are now at work clearing the
place of the debris which covers the
bodies of the men.
The men had taken their position on
the cage to be lowered into the shaft,
the total depth of which is 100 feet.
water. When the signal was given the
engineer for the men to descend it is
said the engine got beyond the con-
troll of the engineer and the cage fell
to the bottom. The bodies were hor-
ribly mangled. Those that were not
killed by the fall were drowned in the
Sump.

STOP PIPE LAYING.
Gas Protective Association Wins al
Independence.

Independence, Kan, Nov. 2.-The
cases of the % Italians charged with
obstructing the public highways
through the building of gas pipe line
from Independence to Joplin was tried
here and the defendants fined $40 each
and costs. The cases were appealed to
district court.
This is the first blood for the Kansas
Gas Protective association which was
organized some months ago to resist
the piping of gas out of the state The
plan was to build a line from Inde-
pendence to Joplin but while the men
were engaged in excavations for the
right line they were arrested on COM
plaint of the county commissioners of
Montgomery county on the charge of
obstructing the public highway. The
county commissioners had never given
the Kansas Natural Gas company
right of way across the public roads.
Counsel was engaged by both sides
and the Gas Protective association has
won the first battle in the conviction
of the Italians digging the trenches for
the Kansas Natural Gas company
which was laying the pipe line or try
ing to lay the pipe line to Joplin.
Work on the pipe line is at present
held up. The case may be taken to the
federal court, enjofning the county Of
fetal from interfering with the work
on the public highway.

One of the brick walls of the reser-
