FATAL MINING ACCIDENT.
Peter MilOyiCh Killed by Prematint
Blast.

Last Monday, young Austrian
miner named Peter Mllovich lost his
life by an accident while engaged IN
the underground workings of the
Oneida mine. 1t seems from testi-
mony taken at the inquest held over
the body by coroner Huberty the
following day, that deceased and his
partner, l.. E. Wilson, we're at work
at the 2200 level. They had been
eXcavatlng a place preparatory to
sinking a wlnze. At the time of the
accident the Two men we're "spitting"
the holes-that is lighting the fuses to
explode the loaded holes. Each man
had eight holes to spit. Milovich
had started the fuses on his eight,
had finished his part. Wilson was just
STOPPING over to light the last fuse on
his eight. Milovich remarked as he
got through, 81 am going to go, and
Wilson replied, 'all right, you can
go, and will spit my hole" just as
he turned to go, and Wilson stepped
over to the corner to charge the last
hole, an explosion occurred one of
the holes spit by Milovich went off.
Wilson was only few feet away, and
when the blast prematurely went off
he jumped and rolled and ran to get
out of the way, not knowing but
other blasts would follow Immediate
ly. He escaped unhurt. The fuses
we're seven feet long, were. considered
safe, and gave ample time ordinarily
to get out of the way. Milovich was
struck by the debris from the first
blast. No Cry escaped him, so it is
supposed that he was either killed
or rendered unconscious by the pre-
mature blast. The other explosions
followed, and piled the debris over
his body. The accident happened
shortly after four O'Clock IN the
afternoon, and it was nine o'clock
when his body was recovered. There
were many tons of dirt burying the
unfortunate victim. How Wilson got
away uninjured is mystery; one
theory is that the force of the con-
cussion literally blew him ont OF
dangers way. The jury found that
deceased was % years of age, and
came to his death by a premature
blast, and that the Oneida company
was in no way blamable tor the
fatality. The victim had been work
ing about eight months III the Oneida
mine. He was a single man. The
funeral took place on Thursday,
under the auspices of the Miners
Union, of which organization he was
member.
Services were held in the Greek
church, a priest coming up specially
to conduct the ceremonies. The body
was laid away in the church cemetery

Move for Fruit Growers.

Geo. Mcmillan came down from
Oroville last week to see his old
friends in Amador county. His visit
was alsoon business. He is engaged
IN the fruit business near OrovilIe,
and brought down samples of figs,
oranges and other fruits grown on his
place. The growers have been greatly
hampered by the custom of shipping
green fruit to market, in order to
realize the high prices prevailing for
the first of the seasons crop. Those
shipping ripe fruit have to face a
falling market, and have to sell their
product at Improbable rates. 10
Offset this the growers around Oro-
vile have combined to ship only ripe
fruit, thereby keeping up the reput-
alton for quality. They are directing
their efforts toward inducing the
middle men to accept nothing but
ripe product 1t is deemed the better
policy all round. 1t protects the
grower, bar to dishonest practices,
and secures a fair return for the
fruit industry. Mr.. Mcmillan show
ed samples of ripe and green fruit
His mission is mainly to educate the
fruit as is in condition tor consump
tion, and he met with fair success in
his laudabIe work.

MINING NOTES.

Argonaut-At a meeting held last
week to determine the course advis,
able to pursue in the present water
scarcity, it was resolved to shut down
the mill and hoisting ore on Thurs
day of this week, for the protection
OF the company. The mine has the
first right to water from the STANDARD
Electric Company. But it was deem
ed best to close down the actual
mining operations and save the water
supply available for the drainage of
the mine during the continuance of
the dry spell. II takes 300 OF more
inches of water to run mine and mill,
and while the Argonaut runs the
Zella can be operated with the same
water. A stoppage of the draining
OF water, however, in the Argonaut
would seriously interfere with the
Kennedy, as the water would drain
into the Kennedy works. The equip
ment of the Argonaut to run by cleo
trio power is being rushed ahead, and
it is expected that in few days this
motive power will be in running
order, and for the Zeila also.

Found Dead.

Samuel Tregloan, an old man over
70 years of age, was found dead on
the floor of his cabin at the residence
of W. Pascoe, on the site of the old
toll house between jackson and
Kennedy mine, on Tuesday morning
last. Deceased had been feeble from
the effects of age, and was unable to
do manual labor. Otherwise, he was
seemingly in fair health. He was a
regular attendant at the Murphy trial
from beginning to end. On Monday
he had an attack of hiccoughs, and
was waited on by the family, although
able to be around. In the afternoon,
being missed for few minutes, one
of the Pascoe family went to the
cabin, and found him stretched
out on the flour of the room, cold in
death. There was nothing to indicate
that his sudden taking off was caused
by other than natural causes. Coroner
Huberty held an inquest the same
day, when verdict of natural death
was returned.

Death of l.. j. Fontenrose.

Louis j. Fontenrose passed from
earthly. scenes at the residence of
James Meehan, on Friday afternoon
at O'Clock. lie had been failing
for over year, and it was evident to
his relatives and friends tIom the out
set that his days of life were des.
tined to be few. He suffered a
stroke of paralysis at the commence
ment of his sickness, which IN
capacitated him from attending to
business affairs. From that on, in
spite of everything that could be
done in the way of medical skill and
careful nursing, he gradually, but
perceptibly, passed away into the en-
brace of death. The funeral took
place Sunday morning at the Catholic
church, high mass being held, Rev j.
j. Gleason officiating, after which the
body was conveyed to its last repose
in the Catholic cemetery, followed
by large procession of mourning
friends. The floral offerings were
many and beautiful. The flag at The
court house was half -masted, in re-
spect to his memory, he being an
officer of the court, having held
the position of superior court com
missioner for a number OF years.
Deceased leaves a wife and two
sons, both grown to manhood, besides
relatives in Sutter Creek.
He was born in Pennsylvania of
Italian parents on September 27, 1850,
and came to California with his
parents in 1857, settling in Sutter
Creek, where he grew up to man IS
estate. He was an engineer at the
Amador Consolidated, better known
as the Eureka mine in Sutter Greek
for some time, but in 1879 he was
appointed as deputy clerk, and was
elected to that office at the succeed
ing election, and reelected the next
two terms, serving six years in that
responsible position. After retiring
from that office, he engaged in the
insurance and abstract business.
which he followed until failing health
compelled him to cease from his
labor. Few were better known
throughout Amador county than the
subject of this sketch, and his death
WILDE deplored by large circle OF
acquaintances in every part of the
county. His estate consists mainly
of the family residence on Pitt street.

WARNS AGAINST
MIXED MARRIAGES
RABBI HIRSCH breaches A
STRONG SERMON
CAUTIONS YOUNG PEOPLE
Says Jews Should Not Wed GentiIes
Except Where True Affinity
Is Found and
Tested
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press
CHICAGO, April 16.-Words of
warning OF the dangers apt to follow
marriages of Jews with non-Jews were
spoken today by Dr. Emil G.. Hirsch
in his sermon in Sinai temple. Differ
ences in views of religious matters and
other fundamental things of life" the
speaker said, constituted great OBJ
stacles. His subject was mixed mar
riages."
Il have shown my sanction of such
marriages by performing the ceremony
myself, and such marriages are sane
toned. but they should not be en-
couraged actively"
The present day tendency to dis
regard parental advice was deplored
and the climax of the sermon was
reached when DIR. Hirsch said: "AJ
the best marriage never is smooth
sailing, and, when young persons feel
brave enough and strong enough to
follow when love has bridged chasm
caused by fifteen hundred years of
persecution of the Jews and do so in
the face of parental objections, they
often find the way has bitterness
worse than agony"
Continuing, he said: 80 1 say, even
if all other considerations are for
gotten and for the sake of the world,
if not for the Jewish faith, the hand
of warning should be raised against
the mistaking of the flash of passion
or infatuation for love which should
be guided by wisdom. The Jews should
guard jealousy against the marriage
of Jew and non-Jew. except in the
rare case where a true affinity based
on agreement in the fundamental
things of life has been found and
tested"

.RloTlNe STRIKERS
GROW MORE VIOLENT
French Porcelain Workers Attempt ia
Break Open Limoges
Prison

BY Associated Press.
LIMOGES, France April 1e.-The ex-
citement among the proclaim strikers
is becoming more violent and manifest
ing itself principally against the Am
erican firm of Haviland, which has
taken a leading part in the lockout.
The Socialist mayors attitude of in
activity and his appeal to the ministry
not to send troops appears to en-
courage the workmen to continue their
demonstrations They exploded a
package Of cartridges before the home
of the manager Of the Haviland works
without, however, causing much dam
age. The barricades which were
erected on Saturday are still in place.
A procession Of several thousand
men, some armed, paraded the streets
this morning, proceeding to prison,
where they unsuccessfully attempted
to force the doors. The mob then de-
stroyed a religious statue. A picket
Of troops endeavored to break up the
demonstration, but the strikers re.
sisted, stoning the soldiers and hoot-
ing the officers. The crowd finally
dispersed on the arrival of cavalry.
