SEWER NOT A SUCCESS.
East End Pumping Station Cannot be
Abandoned by CITY.


City Engineer Marye said soon af-
ter entering upon the duties of his of.
flee that he was convinced that the
new storm water and sanitary sewer
III East unl would never operate as
1t was intended it should and that the
city wonll Fave to continue to main
tain the rImping station. Yesterday
a statement from the engineer to this
effect was made public.
The sewer will do a. great deal of
good, however, and Mr.. Marye thinks
] that 1t will not be necessary TO oper-
ate the pumping station more than
half the time. To maintain the sta
ton has heretofore cost in the neigh.
horhood Of $4,000 and it will mean
something TO cut this amount in half
Mr.. Marye thinks that the new
sewer has not sufficient drop" and
the Pipes are too small.

TEST TO BE MADE.
Mine Operators Order Men Back t,
Washeries After Mitchell Has
Told Them to Quit.

New York. April 11.-Announcement
was made yesterday on behalf of the
anthracite coal carrying companies
'that general movement has been be-
gun among them to resume work at
the washeries. Some washeries are
Eow in operation and work ON others
will be started today and tomorrow
No attempt at present, it is said. will
be made to mine coal.
The men employed at the washeries
were among the mine workers directed
to quit work when President Mitchell
ordered the suspension of work, and
they obeyed the order This action of
the operators, therefore, it is believed
is to test What they can do to get
men.
indianapolis. April 17.-The interna-
tional executive board of the United
Mine Workers,of America began today
Il session that is expected to last sew
eral days during which some matters
bearing very important part in ex-
isting controversy with the coal oper-
ators will be decided upon.
The offer of tho operators of the
Kanawha field in West Virginia to pay
the advance of per cent. in wages in
stead of the 1908 scale was the first
proposition considered. Following this
the protest of the Illinois operators
against the failure of the union to keep

lclent number of men to maintain the
properties in good condition will he

SOUTH DAKOTA MANI
HAS NARROW ESCAPI-.- :
He Was Cleaning Cistern When
a Miniature Earthquake
Occurred.
EXPLOSION OF GASOLINE
Rev. Mr.. siemsen Was Badly Hurt
and His Family Barely Escaped
Death from Suffocation-
House Burned DOWN.
EXPLOSION OF GASOLINE

Sioux Falls, S. D., April 16.-One ol
the most peculiar accidents on record
took place at the home of Rev. Mr.
Siemsen of the little town of Monroe
southwest of Sioux Falls.
BY the explosion of Il cistern under
meath the house. the dwelling was
wrecked and Claus NAnviland was bad
ly burned, While the clergyman and
the members of his family had a mar
row escape from death by suffocation.
Shortly before the accident Nanviland
mixed up some cement With gasoline
for the purpose of making some repairs
to the cistern. After Il reasonable time
had elapsed, and be believed the ce-
ment had dried out, he opened the top
of the cistern, which is of the Jug
shaped variety and lowered a lantern
down into the cistern so he could in
spect his work and see whether or not
it had been properly done.
Instantly the gas which had been
confined in the cistern ignted and
caused an explosion that fairly shook
the earth. The opening into the cistern
is only about two feet across and Van
viland was directly over this when the
explosion occurred. He was badly
burned on the face and hands.
The explosion filled the house with
gas, and Mr.. Siemsen and his family
were barely able to escape from the
building and thus prevent suffocation
by the gas.
The house has every appearance of
having been struck by a tornado. The
walls are torn loose from the floor; the
roof was lifted from the walls; the
chimney was knocked to the ground:
the whole building was moved from it's
foundation several inches; shingles
We're torn from the roof; door and Win
dow castings were split from end to
end: door locks We're broken, and ev-
erything looks as if some terrific force
on the inside had pushed ou.wardly in
all directions.
freak of the explosion was the fact
that although window castings We're
split and torn, not u single window was
broken.
