KILLED BY FALLING
ORE IN SHAFT
MINER MET DEATH WHILE ASCEND
ING SHAFT AT BRISTOL.
ONE or LOAD OF MEN
We're Riding to Surface on the skip When
Some Ore Fell. Killing One and
Inluring Three.

Pesneate Ceserre, an Austrian was
killed al the Bristol mine last Saturday
night while riding 70 surface on the
skip after finishing his day work.
Ceserre was one Of load Of about a
dozen men that boarded the skip at
the bottom to ride u surface. The
Bristol has but two compartment
shaft with small compartment for a
ladderway and pipe line and no man
cage Is operated At the property. The
company requires the men TO 20 mp the
ladders and has warning signs up for
bidding them 10 ride on the skip but
the men don feel like climbing lad
ders after working half shift and 20
always take the chance Of riding the
skip.
So the action.of the men Saturday
evening was nothing ont Of the usual
and on the signal to hoist slow, the
skip with its load Of human freight
started for the surface When a short
distance up the shaft piece Of ore
came rattling down the shaft folio we'd
by several additional chunks Supt
Biork couldn't say from whence the
ore came. II might have dropped
into the shaft az the surface from some
carelessness on top but IL is probable
that the dirt fell from the sides Of the
shaft
one piece struck Ceserre on the head
killing him instantly. Other chunks
struck other members Of the company
three of them being more or less in
iured.
The dead and injured men were in
the bottom Of the skip and no one was
knocked OFT the skip proceeding on It's

In an interview with Supt Biork
Tuesday ne stated that the company
intends 20 place cage below the skip
Tor the men to ride on in cases where
they take such chances hereafter. He
says that he recognizes that the men
will take the chances of riding on the

SEWER WORK PROGRESSING
The Laying Of Pine Commenced Last Mon
day Morning

Sewer work is progressing nicely
this week and Crystal Avenue is pretty
well severed 10y this time. Men began
TO arrive in larger numbers during the
latter part Of last week and many local
workmen were attracted to the work
by the wages paid e 25 per day.
On Monday morning nearly forty
men were moving along the ditch and
sufficient ditching had been done to
allow of pipe-laying which was started
40 the lower end Of Crystal avenue on
that morning and continued without
interruption throughout the week.
If any Of our readers think that this
pipe laying is not a particular job they
should visit the work some day and see

GERMANY WINS FAVOR
IN SU[TAN'S DOMAIN
Valuable Concessions Granted a Syndi-
cate in Which the Kaiser's Am

CoNsTANTINoPLE. April 1.-THE
reports which were current in the early
days o. the Moroccan conference at
Algeciras that Germany was gaining
ground in Turkey to such an extent that
she would soon be the dominant power
there is confirmed. The German am
bassador is active IN a syndicate of Ger
man capitalists. recently formed. which
has given large sum TO the Sultan for
far-reaching concessions IN connection
with an irrigation scheme whereby all OF
the big rivers in Turkey and Asia Minor
are to be connected by artificial water
ways and water provided to make fertile
hundreds of acres OF arid lands.
The outcome is certain 70 be very IA
vorable 10 the German capitalists, and
incidentally VIII afford an emigration
outlet 10 agricultural Germany.
Italy is also becoming more friendly
with the Sultan. and the latter, as q
special example .: his regard for Italy s
King and Queen. has dispatched a spe-
cial mission to Roma laden with pre-
sents. including TWO Arabian horses Of
the purest breed as saddle horses for
their msjesties. The mission also bears
pressing invitation to the King and
Queen 10 visit the Sultan here.

COMMISSIONERS OPPOSE
ANAC0STIA BRIDGE
Do Not Think Needs Of Structure War
rant Expenditure It's Construc-
tion Would Entail.

In the opinion OF the District Com
missioners the time is not ripe for the
construction Of a bridge over the Ana
costa river below the Navy Yard. This
in effect viii be the report they will
make tomorrow 20 Chairman Babcock
on two bills now pending in Congress
providing for the construction Of a
bridge at that point.
While admitting that such a struc-
ture would be an accommodation to the
residents Of that part OF the District
which lies south Of the grounds OF the
Government Hospital for the Insane
and also for part Of Maryland lying
beyond. the Commissioners do not be-
lieve that the existing circumstances
warrant the expenditure of the money
which the project IS likely TO entail.
They contend that the number OF
persons to be benefited would be rela-
lively small in proportion to the cost
of the bridge, which has been estimated
by army engineers as 100000.
