MINE FIRE At EVANS.
Destruction Of Engine House Causes
Loss Of $4,000

Fire near Evans last evening dc.
stroyed the engine room and boiler
house at the new Ramsey mine, No.
4, doing damage OF at least $4,000,
and most seriously crippllng the out
put OF the mine, which has Just been
launched In operation.
The origin OF the fire Is unknown,
but II Is believed 10 have caught In
the boiler house. This shelter and
the engine room we're completely
burned, the machinery all being more
or less damaged by the blaze. The
dump, too, was burned, but the shaft
tower and the screens we're saved
from destruction by bucket bri-
gade.
The fre occurred about six O'Clock.
Help was asked from Evans and the
switch engine took out a load OF
miners who acted as the volunteer
bucket brigade, saving the tower and
screens after the destruction Of the
engine and boiler house, by hard and
faithful work.
Tbe homo OF the mining engineer,
Charley Fisher, near the mine, was
also reported burned, but this can
not be verified.
Mr. George II, Ramsay this morn
ing was unable to accurately esti-
mate the amount OF loss, as nothing
could be known OF the condition Of
the machinery. IL was also inpossi.
BILE from the same reason TO estimate
the delay that will be caused by the
obstruction Of the engine and boiler
rooms. Mr.Ramsay believed that the
loss would not be less than three
thousand collars.
The mine had Jusf betni started I'd
operation after much delay through
track laying and other troubles, and
the fire comes as a severe blow tc
the owners, who had hoped TO Dc
something with the shaft during the
present season.

SIXTEEN ARE KILLED
LANDSLIDE CAUSES AWFUL DE.
sTRucTioN AT HAvERsTRAW,
NEW YORK.

Hayerstraw. ~. r., Jan. 9.--sixteen
members OF prominent families of the
town are known TO be dead, and four
others are missing, as the result OF a
landslide that wrecked twelve houses
In this city at IL o'clock last night.
The landslide occurred at the end
OF ROckland street and the houses
were carried over clay bank into the
brick excavations, dropping down a
hundred feet.
The slide Is supposed TO have been
caused by the fact that those working
In the brick yards dug too close to
the end of the street. Most OF the
people were in bed when the catastro-
phe took place.
Immediately after the slide the
houses caught fire and the persons
who went down perished in the flames.
Among the dead and missing are:
Mrs. DALEY.
Mrs. Nelson (two In family misBing)
Two in Mannion family missing.
Two In Silverman family missing.
Seven Hebrew laborers.

Interurban

J. L. Moore OF Cedar, brother Of
n. w. Moore, member OF the board
Of supervisors Of Mahaska county, is
recently home from Indiana and the
nelghbcThood OF LataYott4, where he
has been visiting anG In attendance
at family reunion OF his mothers
people. Mr.. Moore went into the
heart Of the interurban country and
saw many OF the splendid electric
lines with which this part OF the
state is laced. Mr.. Moore returns 20
his home an enthusiast in favor Of
interurban lines and he says that II
he could possibly do anything TO get
a line past or through his property
in Cedar township ne would most Ger.
tainly do 80. He does not care where
else they run so ne has the adyan-
tageg for himself that these lines
bring. He wants line down his
way. He says people in Indiana are
literally falling over themselves TO
secure the new lines projected, for
II means much TO them. Mr.. Moore
did not know how really useful these
interurban cars were until his visit
TO Muncle, Hartford City, Keystone
and Lafayette. He had no opportnn.
ity Of knowing other than by reading
and hearing the talk OF others, but
here was the thing demonstrated day
after day and he also had the word
OF all those who patronized the lines
and who were benefited by their
coming. He says that everyone in
Indiana rides the cars. It's cheap and
quick. Even the splendid state
"pikes,1 the like Of which Iowa car
not boast single mile, have become
practically deserted for the electric
cars.
Mr.. Moore was asked II the lines
had done anything toward raisinf
the value OF land along their right d
way. Certainly" was tho reply
'but that is not what the people are
looking at They want the roads
not because IL enhances property
but they are after them for the ad
vantages they bring TO the fellow wht
is 30 fortunate as TO have a place OF
the right Of way. The farmers d.
not want 10 sell when they get ar
electric line by OF through their place
The value Of these advantages is ev
Ierything with them and they do no
think Of seiling their land.
