Continued from Page I

ing to identify the unfortunate victims,
one of the miners asked the foreman if
he knew who wore wrist strap. The
foreman reply was, at is my brother
Arthur, y words can never describe the
sensation of picking up the half crushed
skull of brother whom he had spoken
to but few seconds before, more than
$500 feet down in the bowels of the
earth, with only the ghostly flicker of a
tallow to recognize his features, said a
workman, but Jim, mean Jg the fore
man was cool and collected all the
time. !"
The two victims fell from the TOO
level to the bottom of the stump, a dis
lance of over 1900 feet. 1t is supposed
the sudden jerk of the skip when it
came in contact with the obstruction on
the track dashed them against the shaft
wall, causing them to let 60 their hold
on the cable, and they were crushed
against the shaft Life was probably
crushed out of both before they started
on their downward flight.
The shaft is sunk on the incline. and
the track upon which the skip runs is
laid with strap iron, which is held
down to the timbers by means of
spikes. With the heavy wear and
friction the spikes are apt to become
loosened, and one man is usually
charged with the duty of examining the
track carefully at short intervals to see
that everything is safe and in good or.
der. This was the case at the Central
Eureka. How the weak spot escaped
detection will never be explained. The
engineer felt the obstruction, and the
skip was brought TO standstill, the
turned turtle, but not sufficiently to dis
turb the two men seated in the bottom,
who escaped unhurt.

lowing day. The jury rendered a YER
dict of accidental death.

made the address. He spoke Of the
political conditions existing throughout

gains being made everywhere by
Democrats was a sign OF the success
at the polls in the coming fall elec-
tion. He predicted that three-fourths
bf the Republican members Of the

ton, judging from the returns received
from Massachusetts,, New York and
Missouri. would be unseated this fall.
Mr.. Chaytor said that Republicans
are in the same position now that the
Democrats were ten years ago. At
that time the Democrats relied on
discord in the Republican ranks to win
and he said the Republicans to-day are
relying on discord in the Democratic
ranks to win. This feeling, he con-
sidered. a good omen.
