Thousands of dollars’ worth of dam‘age was done to property in this vicinity. Three men were killed and several other persons were hurt. which ten men were being lowered into shaft No. 2 of the Alden Coal Company suddenly dropped to the bottom. Eight men were severely injured and two may die. The mine is 580 feet deep. The engineer lost control of the machinery. The cage was twisted and broken, and it is a wonder the men were not all instantly killed. A Deathbed Confession. Bosworrs, Mo., September 16.—John Abbott, who has just died here after a long illness, made a death-bed confession in which he admitted having stolen $1,200 from the money order office in’ Macoupin county, Illinois, in the fall of 1891, and for which one Singleton was discharged by the company.

PERSONAL POINTERS. . Firebugs at Vallejo. VaLLEJo, September 16.—The authorities are trying bard to run to earth the firebugs who are causing so much trouble, here. The two. most recent fires, occuring within a period of four days, were doubtless the work of an incendiary, An attempt to burn a barn was discovered just in time to save a conflagration that would result in the destructioh of three-more barns closely located, and perhaps a dwelling also.

Vienna, Sept. 16. — Emil Lowenthal has been sentenced to two years’ imprisonment. He loaned money to his brother George on condition the latter should marry an heiress in two years or kill himself, He could not get the girl, so he committed suicide. Emil collected the life instrance illegally, and the three feet luxuriantly. Flowers are blooming in rich profusion. I send youaspray. Huckleberries are plentiful, yet about one foot below the surface the ground is now, and has been for untold ages, frozen. I called at one of the wealthiest Eskimo homes, and inthe room adjoining the parlor Women on the Warpath, Hazieton, Pa., September 16,—250 women did more effective work and created more excitement than’ ten thousand stricking miners by invading a wash-house and making 800 miners getashave.

This whale oil is the winter food for the family. I watched the daughter—a young lady—making flapjacks, frying them in a vessel half filled with the oil. Prices for goods at the store of the Alaska _Commercial Company are: Flour, $16 per barrel; bacon, 40 cents por pound; beans, 15 cents per pound.

We have our own barge and tug, 4 and one of our party sold his ticket, or . rather traded it, and” got $500 difference. Men seem wild. The weather is beautiful and warm, and some of the boys are fishing for tom cod. and _halibit with fair success. Tomorrow we are off for Dawson City, nearly 1900 miles up the river. J.T. H. UP ON THE KLONDYKE. Rates of Interest Charged Higher Than They Are in Trackee. _ . Joe Treasure received a letter from » his brother, Ben, who is in Dawson E City, Alaska, a few days ago, says the . Sierraville Record, in which he says . that he and his brother Jim are doing » well on the Klondyke. Jim Treasure . has a cabin and took in $7,000 in cash . during the month in which the letter . was written, which Ben says is doing . fairly well. The boys. have been ji1 Alaska three years. ' He mentions that five deaths had occurred in Dawson this season from natural causes and four from accidents. Interest there is amazingly -high, even for-so. wild a country as Alaska, running from 10 per cent to 60 -per cent per month, according to risk. Ben loaned one fellow $500, taking bis note for $800, due in one month; t “another man $200, accepting his note for $300, due in one month. ‘Thus it @ppears that the money lender hus a fair fleld on the bleak Yukon. The Poys are looking for a chance to seli Out and. get back to California. The news had apparently not reached Dawon of the furore of excitement jn the Putside world, as no mention was made Di the rush to the gold fields nor of un3ual excitement there. vors This Improvement, The Trustees Should at Once Give People a Chance to Express Their Sentiments. The water works question is now ‘practically ont of the: way,-thanks to the tenacity and sagacity of the City. Trustees, and in a few years the people will have the bonds paid for and taken up without feeling any poorer for the outlay of the money. The next thing that the city must have is a sewerage sytem, and the sooner it is in operation the better it will be for the health of every body in the community. The prevailing opin-ion seems to be that the citizens will vote to issue bonds for this improvement with the same cheerful alacrity that they did when the matter of providing for an adequate water system was submitted to them. Of course it is to be expected that there would be some opposition to crop up against the proposition, but it would not be likely. to prove formidable: Every community hassome people who think more ofa few dollars than they do of comfort and health and cleanliness, but there are not enough of them in these diggings to perpetuate the stinks and miasma that now linger on every breeze and lurk in every corner. The city fathers should add to the good work they are already doing for our beautiful and promising city by proceeding without a day’s delay to take the preliminary steps towards giving us a complete sewerage system. Let the survey be made, the cost of construction estimated, then give the people a chance to vote the needed money. . -°@eWill Be. Tried Tomorrow.
