Project-SpeciaI Collector.
A special meeting of the board of alder
men was held last Wednesday evening
chiefly for the purpose of hearing !. L.
Halman, in behalf of the big dam project
Mr.. Halman addressed the board at
length, setting forth in a most interesting
manner, the prospect of the building Of
the big dam, in which enterprise he is so
closely identified.
In the event of the dams being built,
it will be necessary to relocate short
section of the shore road, and also to
change the location of the Doyle bridge.
He also expressed hope that in view of
the enormous benefit the enterprise would
be to Ellsworth, the board would favor it
in the matter of taxation.
The board, after listening with great
interest to what Mr.. Halman had to say,
passed unanimously the following vote:
"yoted. That the city OF Ellsworth build and
maintain highway from a point near the Hop
kins mill dam, going northerly on the shore
road. so called, to point near the residence OF
Eben p. Grindle, on said shore road; also to
change the location of the Doyle bridge, SO
called. provided the proposed uam is built OBJ
Union river by the Bar Harbor Il Union River
Power Co. And the city of Ellsworth further
agrees to be very lenient in regard to taxation
of said company's property"
At meeting held Monday evening the
uneollected taxes of 1903 and 1904 were
placed in the hands of John III. Bresnahan,

Berkeley, Calf, March 90. J. E.
DAILY an Oakland liveryman, was held
up and robbed of $40, 900 while on his
way to the Standard Oil office ut Point
Richmand. There were two highway
men, one of whom was tall and the
other short and stout. Both carried
revolvers, but only the taller of the
men wore mask. The short man had
heavy black beard. The hold up took
place mt point on the roadway be-
tween Siege and Point Richmand.
The highwaymen jumped out of a
clump of bushes at the roadside and
cover DAILY and former Deputy Sheriff
Roach, who was riding with him. At
the point of revolvers DAILY and Roach
were compelled to jump from the bug
gy and give up the sack of money.
Then the robbers tied them to fence
and placed gags in their mouths. DAILY
and Roach freed themselves after con-
siderable difficulty and then proceeded
to Siege station on the Southern Paci-
tic about half mile away.
The robbers took the buggy as we'll
as dilapidated rig which they drove

Waiting for Lands.

Boise, Idaho, March 22-There is a
great influx of people to Twin Falls in
anticipation of the opening of the last
installment of lands of the tract to be
reclaimed by the Twin Falls irrigation
work. The lot will embrace 10000
acres 2,20, 900 acres having been pre-
viously opened.
A singular feature of the rush is that
there are a great many people from
far western points. For some days
large parties have been coming from
Oregon, Washington and northern
Idaho. A large number come from
the Occur d 'Alene region and all hold
powers of attorney from others to To-
cate lands. The opening will be by
lottery system, the order of choice
being determined by drawing. The
town of Shoshone, which is the nearest
railway point, has been crowded for
ten days, people finding it difficult to
secure cots on which to sleep. Every
available conveyance is engaged in
hauling passengers to the new town.
The drawing will occur on Thursday.

War ak a Bluff.

Chicago. March 22-The Daily News
prints the following from its st. Pet.
ersburg correspondent:
Mobilization of the last man and
spending of the last ruble to beat Japan
is mere bluff. The cars treasury
is empty, the army is annihilated and
a new one cannot be raised. Nicholas
himself and nine tenths of the people
desire peace. The Alexieff clique is
fighting for existence and is strongly
opposing the better informed statesmen.
General Bjetzki said to the Daily
News correspondent this morning: "To
speak OF continuing the war would be
inaccurate, it would be more correct
to talk of beginning. 1t is not enough
to have new commander. We must
have new army, new ammunition
and new railroad. Where are we to
get them? Even If we had them it
would be impossible to think of assum-
ing the offensive. General Linevitch
is condemned to act on the defensive.
Is it possible that Russia can look with
any degree of confidence to the Baltic
fleet to save the situation? Roiest-
vensky's squadrons are weak and with
out proper sea base. They would have
to risk. all on single battle?

Instant death was the fate Of many
who went down with the floors that
collapsed. A large number of men and
women who were working near sup
portswere alive after the floors and
walls fell. From these unfortunates
cries of agony and terror went up.
Almost all had been caught between
broken timbers, lighter wooden wreck
age and heavy pieces of machinery. A
few persons succeeded in extricating
themselves in the wreckage, but more
were roased to death.
Later.
The remains of SO persons have been
recovered from the ruins. Fifty three
persons are known to be still missing,
the names of 81 of whom have been OBJ
tanned. Many others are reported miss
ing, but it is onsidered possible that
some of them are at their homes in
nearby towns. AT his hour, 253 survi-
vors have been accounted for. The es-
Inmates of the dead range from so to
80, and of the injured from so to 1OO
Many persons not seriously hurt
went to their homes and did not report
their injuries.
"a crack in the lap seam of the
boiler was responsible from the acct
dent, said an expert engineer of the
Hartford Steam Inspection & Insur-
ance company. at was practically
impossible to detect the crack" said
he, "as it was on the inside part of the
lap running beside the rivets." The
boiler, being insured and inspected by
this company, was exempt from in
spection by the district police under
the laws.

Miners ENTOMBED
TWENTY.FOUR men lie DEAD In
Two COAL MINES.
Rescune Party of IA, Who Entered
the Mines to Take Out Bodies of
Fellow Workmen, Were Killed by a
Second Explosion and After Damp
Shook the Mountains.

Charleston, w. Va, March 20.-As
result of the horrible explosion in
the Rush Run and Red Ash mines near
Thurmond "a men now lie dead in the
two mines.
Ten of those were killed in the ex-
plosion Saturday night and the other
IA were rescuing party who entered
the mine this morning to take from
the mines the bodies of their fellow
workmen. These latter were killed by
a second explosion and the after damp.
The first explosion seemed to shake
the foundation of the mountains and
the angry twin flash from the two
neighboring drift mouths lighted up
the heavens for miles around.
Soon from the mining villages for
several miles up and down the river
hundreds of people rushed to the scene
of the disaster. The first explosion
was caused by a naked flame coming
into contact with the gas. These
flames leaped from the drift mouth and
set fire to everything IN the mines
which were not blown out by the force
of the explosion. The great drums by
which the cars are run from the drift
mouth down the incline to the tipple
and the empties drawn up, was blown
! from it's mOOrings and down the noun
tainside 600 feet, and the drumhouse
caught fire and was totally consumed.
The cars that stood at the mouth
of the mine were blown far down to-
ward the tipple, and much of the track
| of the incline was destroyed, the rails
| twisted and the crossties whipped from
their beds in the ballast and sent
scorched and charred many rods away.
A rescue party was formed and
about 20 men entered the mine in
search of the bodies of those who had
| persisted at the first explosion. The
men explored the mines for about two
or three hours, putting up brattices
SO that pure air would follow them
wherever they went. Finally some of
them came out and reported that the
others were too careless in going for

supplied, carried at the same time

charge of the rescue work. The second

Mr.. Pinckney will allow no one to en-

erly and drift of fresh air is running
through the mine. When this is done
he will lead the rescue squad himself

Attempted Suicide.

Tacoma, March 22--J. w. Want,
an aged man, attempted suicide this
afternoon by throwing himself into the
channel from the Eleventh street
bridge. A score of pedestrians wit
messed the act and hurried to hte side
of the bridge. iViant was drawn mot
boat and taken to the shore and later
to a hospital.
He is 70 years of age adm an old res
ident Of Tacoma. To one of his res
cuers he declared that his wife had
made life insuprortable for him and
that lately he had declined to either
wait on him or bring him food or other
necessaries of life.
81 have led dogs life too long,"
said the old man. Discord has
brought me to the brink of the grave.
She tainted me until / could stand it
no longer and l then made up my
mind that death was preferable to life
such as | have lived during the past
six years. L chose drowning because it
WIS the easiest method. "
Nineteen years ago Want brought
$4,000 to Tacoma and engaged in
the rgocery business. During the hard
times, through indorisng notes and
other means, his fortune rapidly dwin-
died. Domestic troubles followed soon
after the loss of his money and his sons
sided with their mother.

$50, OO0-EVeryobdy Happy.

3HO,UOO-EVeryopuy Happy'
Peter Dooley, who a few weeks ago
found a strong box containing $4,000
in gold buried in the cellar of an old
house at Prescott, Mich, and was in
doubt for some time as to whom the
money rightfully belonged, has decided
that Peter Dooley himself is the only
man who has any claim on it.
The good natured Irishman has a
generous heart and the money is 60
ing freely for the benefit of others.
Half of it he gave to his daughter
Mary Ann Dooley, who has just be.
come the bride of Allen NJ Mullen
The couple had built them a little
log house and furnished it partly with
bare necessities. The windfall of $20,.
600 has transformed their lives as eff
fectually as could the wand of any
fairy godmother. Their little log cab
in in the woods will be exchanged fOT
a palatial residence.
The wedding day will be long re
membered. The town was crowded
with people to witness the annual foo
race on the snow. Peter Dooley pre-
scented each contestant with a sack OF
tobacco and new pipe, giving the win
ner meerschaum valued at IS. Be
sides this, he gave a free dinner tC
every man, woman and child in Pres
and his daughters wedding.
