Governor CT jamaica Objects to u. S.
Sailors In Kingston.
Kingston. Jamaica. Jan. p. - Rear
Admiral Davis mission OF mercy to
stricken Kingston came 20 an abrupt
and painful conclusion in consequence
of Governor Swettenham's objection to
the presence of American sailors en-
gagged in the work of clearing the
streets. guarding property and succor-
Ing the wounded and sick. eliminating
in letter 90 the admiral peremptorily
requesting him 10 re-embark all parties
which had been landed.
Admiral Davis was greatly shocked
and panied and paid a formal visit 20
Governor Swettenham. informing him
that the United States battleships Mis-.
souri, and Indiana and the gunboat
Hankton would sail az once.
on the afternoon OF the salute Incl.
dent Rear Admiral Davis wrote Gov.
ernor Swettenham. apologizing for the
salute and Offering TO render any as.
sistance possible to the stricken PEG
pie.
Governor Swettenham responded
Friday as follows:
Dear Admiral-Thanks very much
for your letter. your kind call and all
the assistance given OF offered US.
While l most heartily appreciate the
very generous offers OF assistance.

IF In consideration OF the American
vice consul's assidious attentions to his
family at his country house the Ameri.
can consulate needs guarding In your
opinion. although he was present and
II was not guarded an hour ago. have
no objection TO your detailing a force
for the sole purpose OF guarding; but
the party must have no firearms and
nothing more offensive than clubs or
slaves for this function.
Il find your working party was help
ing MT Crosswell clean his store
Crossweil was delighted that the work
was done without cost. n your excel
lency should remain long enough. I am
sure almost all the private owners
would be glad OF the services OF the
navy to save expense.
1T is no longer a question of hu
manity: ali the dead died days ago
and the work Of having them buried is
merely one OF convenience
Il believe the police surveillance OF
the city is adequate for the protection
of private property. may remind your
excellency that not long ago IL was
and pillaged the residence OF some
New York millionaire during his alb
sence in the summer: but this would
not have justified British admiral
landing an armed party and assisting
the New York police.

He said:
Mr.. Foraker's effort to draw him
out further failed. He had said D
nough. He had shown that Presi-
dent Roosevelt had labelled Mingo
Sanders as a murderer OF white men
and an attempted murderer OF white
women and children and that this
alone had caused his life to be worth
less than the snufing out of a can
die. It mattered not that it showed
up a blood-thirsty trait of the South
Carolinian's character, he had placed
the responsibility upon President
Roosevelt and the injury in reputa-
ton either TO himself or to the state
he represented was of slight impor-
lance.

MINING NOTES.

Fremont. This mine has entered
upon the dividend paying stage. The
first dividend was decIaI edlast month.
amounting to two. cents per share.
There are 200, 600 shares, so the aggre-
gate sum disbursed was $4,000. From
present outlook this rate can be
maintained Indefinitely. The net
earnings are more than this.
Hazard. 1T is reported that this
mine is to be started up as soon as
supplies: can be procured. The pro.
perty is located between the Fremont
and the Bunker Hill mines both on
dividend paying basis. 1t belongs
to the Hayward estate. jar. Fou1d-
stone, who is in charge of the pro-
perty,. was looking over the ground
recently. 1t is said he may take hold
of it himself. 1t is the general opin-
ion that the prospects favor the
development of another paying mine
with the boundaries of the Hazard.

on account of the breakdown of the
air compressor mentioned in last
issue. Some trouble is experienced
in keeping down the water with the
machinery available. number of

question of the character of the build

will be decided. The popular opin-
ion is in favor of either brick or
stone. 1t is estimated that some
thing over $1,000 will have to be
raised by special tax, probably the
entire amount in one year. The
district recovered S2l00 insurance on

namely, 5l400 on the building, S40O
on furniture and apparatus, and $500

total taxable property is estimated

FATAL ACCIDENT AT
CENTRAL EUREKA.
John 7. Yandament Killed by
Circular Saw.

a shocking accident happened al
the Central Eureka mine, SutteI
Creek on Saturday morning last. The
victim was John T. Vandament, aged
46 years, son of Jacob Vandament,
who lives on Sutter hill. Vandament
was employed by the Central Eureka
Company in running the sawmilI at
the mine. lie was an experienced
hand at that business. Exactly how
the fatality occurred is not known, as
there was no eyewitness to the affair
About half-past ten o'clock Wanda
ment was found by onesof the en-
ployes lying on the ground near the
sawmill, with the side of his head
crushed in. He was alive, but un-
conscious. The stricken man was
removed to the Sierra Sanitarlum
near Martells for treatment as soon as
possible. An operation was there per
formed by the sanitRrium physicians
tor his relief, but without avail. He
never recovered consciousness, and
died about two O'Clock, about two
hours after his reception at the sani-
tarium.
The conditions around the sawmill
we're the mute witnesses that told
how the unfortunate victim met his
fate. A partly sawn stick of lum ber,
with one end jagged by the teeth of
the saw, silently proclaimed the
method of the tragedy. 1t is believed
that Vandament was in the act Of
turning this partially sawn scantIing.
when the end thereof came in contact
with the revolving saw, thereby
throwing the timber with great vio-
lence against Vandament's head,
crushing his skull.
Coroner Ii. &. Potter impaneIed
jury, which viewed the body the
same day. The inquest was held on
tuesday. After hearing the testi-
mony, a verdict of accidental death
was returned.
The funeral was held in Sutter
Greek on Wednesday. Deceased was
a member of the N. s. Il. W. also OF
the A. /. o. F.. and was insured in
the latter organization for a consider
able amount. He was a single man.
He leaves besides his sorrowine
father, sister living in Oakland, two
brothers in Kern county, and
brother at Pine Grove.

III is we'll known fact that acute
and chronic poisoniDgs have been
produced by great variety Of food
articles, such as straw berries and
other berries. In other cases, veget-
able food has caused poisoning, eithe +
by reason of its retaining harmful
ingredient in consequence of impro-
per preparation, or because of its hav-
ing undergone decomposition, as in
the numerous cases Of poisoning by
canned tomatoes and other canned
goods. Uncooked potatoes and
French beans have also caused poison
ing. Bread and other food articles
have been the cause of both acute
and chronic poisoning. either in
consequence of the formation of toxic
bacterial product in the grain, OF
because of the admiXture of a poison-
Gus vegetable by accident, such as the
''darvel, F" one OF the deleterious
grasses that produces an Intoxicating
effect, corncockle. ergot, lathyrism,
"a plant, the seed of which produces
paralysis. The seeds of many other
plants have toxic affect Oh man and
animals.
Vegetable food, like all other food
when In state OF fermentation,
should not be partaken of as they
develop bacteria, which may affect
the system very seriously. aud by the
action of the bacteria, ptomaine may
be produced.
1t would be very interesting to
thoroughly investigate the land on
which the beans were grown, and
ascertain whether any foreign plants
or grasses exist there or not.
The beans as received by me we're
in no condition to be eaten. If you
have any more jars in the same con-
ditinn, | would recommend you feed
the beans to some rabbits and note
the effect under the eye of one of the
physicians who made the autopsy.
THOMAS PRICE.
After short deliberation the jury
returned the following verdict
That the deceased, Erminia Cottini,
aged IL, native OF Switzerland, died
on January 20, and Marie Ferrasci,
aged As, native of Switzerland; Lidia
Ferrasei, aged 10, and Jas. L. Fer
rasci, aged Y, both natives OF Cali
fOInia died on the Dist of Januarv
1907, that their deaths were due to
accidental poisoning, and as the jury
believes said poisoning was what is
known as ptomalne poisoning, due 10
having partaken of sumo injurious
food at the noon meal at the Ferrasci
dwelling, near Clinton, on the 18th
of January, 1907.
After the close CT this examlna-
ton, the coroner Immediately held
another inquest in the case of Mrs
Canonica, who died on the 22nd of
January, 1907, from the same cause
as the four mem bers of the Ferrasci
family, she have partaken of the fatal
meal on the fateful Saturday. A
different jury was empaneled to sit
upon this case. The testimony was,
substantially the same as in the other
cases, the same witnesses being ex-
amlned.'. The jury returned practi-
cally the same verdict as that above
given. A 6 a.
