CoNCEDEs MoRAN's VICTORY.
Chairman Quincy Accepts Verdict of
 Caucuses.

Boston, Sept 2S.-In statement issued by Josiah Quincy, chairman of the democratic state committee, he says:
 "The returns from the caucuses are now sufficiently full to show be- yond doubt that considerable ma jority of the delegates are in favor of the nomination of MT Moran. While we are satisfied from returns which have come directly to us from our correspondents that very re- spectacle minority of the delegates would prefer some other candidate, we frankly admit that we see no prospect that this minority could now convert the majority to its views.
 'The case has been fully presented and while our own opinions as to the claims of MT Moran to the demo- cratic nomination and as to the ad visibility of fusion with other parties remain unchanged, we accept the yer dict of the caucuses. The responsi- bility of the coming campaign now belongs wholly to the democrats who have advocated or acquiesced in the nomination of MT Moran, and we leave the field entirely to them."
 It is understood that MT Quincy will resign as chairman of the state committee within a few days.

coNsERvAToR ASKED FOR.
Watertown Man Who Is Disposing of
 His Property at a Low Price.

In the probate court at Watertown tomorrow morning Attorney James M. Lynch will appear in peculiar case. The town of Watertown has a citizen who is comparatively we'll off but the selectmen are afraid he is so kind to everybody he will teggar himself. The mans name is Angelo Varkoli and his age is lbcut 40. The man owns, or rather did, own two farms worth about 5000. He ac- cummulated this estate by extreme frugality, but he now, 1t seems, is afraid, like Andrew Carnegie that he he will die rich and disgrace to his country unless he will get rid of his property. He was married and as well as the selec.men can ascertain he has no relatives. X while ago he advertised one of the farms for sale. It was easily worth $5.0o0, it is said but to the the amazement of every body, he sold 1t for $2,500. At the hearing to-morrow, unless the man can show just reason for hts act in selling the farm at so low price. when he could easily have obtained twice $2,500 for it, conservator will be appointed over him.

New York.-Alexander Beck, bar porter of the Marlborough hotel, spent all his spare time the other day wherever he could find the most sun shine. and in the meantime as he went about his duties his joints creaked and rasped like the rusty hinges of door. ..
 All that was because Beck is not yet thawed out. It will be several days, he thinks, before his arteries and veins are running unclogged by floating ice and the dampness gets out of his bones and sockets. He was al- most frozen to death the day before, and had it not been for a trapped presence of mind that came to him in the last extremity he might have been entirely frozen. f~t .N'-sH
 His duties are many and various. It is he who must keep the barkeep- CTS supplied with everything they need in the compounding of the drink ing called for by the patrons. He must never allow the ice bins to become empty, the mint to become exhausted or the cherries and other fruit to be wanting. while the lemon juice bottle is particular charge of his. He usu. ally works below stairs and appears and disappears at intervals.
 He does his principal work shifting the beer kegs. watching the mineral waters. stirring up the fruits and managing the straws and other things in the refrigerator. It Is there also he keeps his lemons. and to save time, 1t is there he squeezes them. The Marlborough cold room is ont under the sidewalk, and a narrow pas sage leads to its heavy wood and iron door. two feet thick It is a mas sive room all around, stored with casks and crates. with the pipes coat ed with about six ipches of snow run ming in all directions. The tempera- ture Is kept around freezing all the time, and about ten minutes is enough of 1t for Beck ordinarily. Then he | goes out and exercisea
 Beck went in there to squeeze the lemons, and was peacefully engaged | in the process when a watchman came along through the underground laby- rinth. Beck had left the massive door just on the crack. but the rays of the electric light he used did not come through. The watchman saw only that the door was not shut, and muttering something about careless ness. slammed it and threw the lock over.
 Beck was a prisoner. Unless some body came to open the door he would remain one. for kicks. shouts. screams and everything else would avail noth f ing through those thick walls He suddenly remembered that he had | given the barkeepers above an extra < supply. and they would not be dowr | to look for him for Lours- He looked t al an icecoated pole in the corner and thought what he would be then He felt his body chilling gradually and when a nervous precipitation came out on his forehead the drops fell or the floor Ike marbles He tried ts dance. but there ras not room 90 hs practiced on juggling lemons Hi'

THROWING LIFE LINES.
Request Made That Colonel Lyle Dc
 Duty With Life Saving Crew.

Washington. Sept 2S.-The secre- tary of the department of commerce and labor has requested the secretary of war to detail Ideutenant.C Colonel David A. Lyle, of the ordnance de- partment to special duty, with the
 life saving service with view to the possible improvement of the appara. tus used in throwing life lines to yes. sels in distress. The gunnock used for that purpose was adopted by the service in 1875 and although it has proved most effective in many cases, it is believed to be susceptible of ev- en better results in power and use fulIness if certain modern ideas could be incorporated.- Colonel Lyle had a great deal to do with the introduction of the present apparatus. He is in command of the Augusta arsenal, Georgia.

Street Car Accident In Which Several
 Persons Were Injured.

San Francisco, Sept 2S.-Eight persons were injured, four seriously, in a street car accident on Oak street last night, caused, it is claimed, by a defective brake.
 AS a Mission street car was de- scending the Oak street hill the brakes suddenly gave away and the car shot down the incline at a ter rife speed. The car was so crowded that several persons were riding on the roof. At Scott street the car struck sand wagon. The wagon was thrown clear off the track and Harry Esserman, its driver, sustained fracture of the skull and Internal injuries.
 The following passengers were seriously injured:
 Gus Burgh, right leg and right arm broken, internal injuries.

He saw some mint and when. he thought of summer drinks his teeth began to chatter. He felt his feet growing numb, and after he had tried beating on the wall with his fists for a minute he stopped for fear he would break on a hand or finger.
 It seemed that about all in sight for him was cold, cheerless exit, with a beer keg and bag of lemons for his funeral catafalqua. He sat down and tried to weep, but the icicles nearly blinded him. He was giving

A PROGRESSIVE TAX.

BY securing the repeal OF laws OF pri-
mogeniture and entail and by constl-
tutional prohibition against their re-
enactment, Thomas Jefferson guarded
against vast landed estates, or, rs
might now be termed, great land trusts.
For a good while the Democrat has eX-
pected some statesman to suggest some
plan along this Jeifersonlan line as
a remedy for later day trade trusts or
industrial monopolies. In his great
speech Of Saturday last, in laying the
corner stone OF the great Office build
ing for the national house OF repre-
sentatives, President Roosevelt came
very close to this matter, when he said:
"As matter OF personal cow don,
and without pretending to 6iscr the
details or formulate the system, feel
that we shall ultimately have to con-
slider the adoption Of some such scheme
as that OF n progressive tax on all Tor
tunes, beyond certain amount, either
given In life or devised or fequeathed
upon death to any indlvidual-a tax
so framed as TO put IL out OF the power
OF the owner OF one OF these enormous
fortunes TO hand on more than u GER
tain amount to any one individual; the
tax, OF course, to be imposed by the
national and not the state government.
Such taxation should, OF course, be
aimed merely Mt the Inheritance or
transmission In their entirety OF those
fortunes swollen beyond all healthy

OF MINES
MINING TERMS IN VERSE.

lode is a streak OF mineralIzed ore,
A dip IL the pitch OF same.
A big bunch OF rock that spells the pay
Is called horse In the vein.
A hanging wall is the top, you know,
Or roof OF II lead In place.
The foot wall might be termed Its floor
Or the bottom, bed, or base.
An incline shaft is one that's sunk
Down on the leads own pitch.
A raise Is made to connect two levels,
Or TO prove "a shoot that's rich.
A cross-cut taps the vein as rule
On a line nj rlght-angles to 1t.
A drift Is n tunnel that follows the lead,
Boring along right through It,
A Wine is "A sort OF inside shaft
Sunk where the ore Is best.
The face OF n drift Is the end OF the thing,
Sometimes called the breast.
A tunnels a horizontal hole
That runs into the hill.
A stope is the cavity left by rock
That II taken away to the mill.
And dividends are the fruit OF n mine,
Distributed year by year,
To people who bought when the stock was
cheap
And now have nothing TO fear.
