Had Missed His F:1low-Workman but Knew Not That Caving Earth Had Buried Him. SANTA CRUZ, Can, Jan. 19. — For nearly an hour yesterday Charles Dean of Ben Lomond was entombed alive. Withal Charles Dean has abundant cause for thanksgiving, for had not a shovel wielded by a fellow-workman pierced the earth that covered him he would not now be re- counting his awful experience. It was not that his rescuer knew that he was en- tombed; the discovery was quite by acci- dent and came in the nature of a surprise. How Dean succeeded in breathing when covered by several feet of sand 1s a prob- lem which the people out at Ben Lomond to-day have not yet been able to solve. Dean and James Smith were hauling sand, and, while Smith drove the team with the loaded wagon to the place of de- posit, Dean would remaip at the sand- bank to prepare for another load. Smith came back to the sandbank on one trip and found that Dean had cutdown the usual quantity from the bank, but was aot there to help load the wagon. He pro- ceeded with his work, expecting the re- turn of his fellow-workman, but when the wagon had been nearly filled and Dean ¢id ot return Smith was about to con- clnde trat he had quit his job. His shovel snddenly struck something yield- ing, but immovable. The discovery fright- ened him, but the find was soon developed and Dean was dragged out from the tem- porary grave he had occupied for an hour, with a broken leg. TROUBLES OF A COKPORATION. Goes Into Insolvency to Settle Strife Betwsen Its Members. SANTA CRUZ, CAn. Jan. 19—The Grover - Cunningham Mill and Lumber Company has, in order to settle the differ- ences between the two companies compos- ing the corporation, filed a voluntary petition in the Superior Court asking to | be declared insolvent. The liabilities of the petitioner are written in the petition ham & Co. claim a credit of $22.500 and Grover & Co. a credit of $3110. The actual debts of the corporation in fact are small. The tronble between Cunningham & Co. dates back almost to the time of their consolidation ‘into the present corora- tion. They were of a character that had no interest for the public until one Sun- day last spring the Cunninghams tried to break open the safe of the corporation for the purpose of removing the books which the Grovers had locked within. Arrests followed, but only civil smits were brought. The Cuuninghams had controlled the election of the board of directors, and the Grovers, having possession of the books, locked them in the oflice safe and changed the combination. From that time there has been an effort to dissolve the corporation, but without | success until the present plan of insolv- ency was conceived. This action does not indicate a failure in the Inmber industry in Santa Cruz, but the inability of two lumber companies to do business as a corporation. IR R The Coos Bay Runs Aground. SANTA CRUZ, Car, Jan. 19.—The steamer Coos Bay ventured to make the landing here last night at low tide and ran aground just as it reached the wharf. The force of its movement was increased by a long swell that jammed the vessel so hard against the piling at the end that a dozen piles were burst from tneir fastenings, and one of the steamer’s small boats was crushed into kindling wood. The passen- gers received a severe shaking up, but no one was injured. The tide was unusually low and the swells were long but not high. The landing could have been made easily and without damage two hours earlier. i LT Gold on the Heach. SANTA CRUZ, Car, Jan. 19.—The re- cent developments in the old mines at Gold Gulch near Felton by the Russell Biothers have excited the interest of O. A. Foster 10 resume the washing of the bezch at Twin Lakes, the Baptist church summer resort, a suburb of Santa Cruz. Good wages have been made at that point, but the metal is dust gold and difficalt to save in paying quantities. The gold has washed down from the hills and is hed in place by the shifting of the beach sands moved by the surf. & Gold Strike Near Garlock. LOS ANGELES, CAL., Jan. 19.—The pos- sibilities of gold finds on the desert in the region of Mojave and Randsburg seem to be without limit.

Two ranchers who were prospecting struck a ledge that assays $600 in gold and $80 in silver to the ton. It is said the dis- covery was made in a section that gave no surface indications of be.ng a mineral region. —_——— Aevada County Contest Ended, NEVADA CITY, CAL, Jan. 19.—The case of Ridge vs. Niloan, for the office of Superior Jud e, was abruptly ended y terday by counsel for the plaintiff moving for a dismissal.

Mconshine Plants Discovered by Govern- ment Officials While Exploring a Kentucky Mountain. DANVILLE, Ky. Jan. 19.—James C. Wilson of Harrodsburg, Deputy Internal Revenue Collector, who was in Danvilie last night to report to his chief, tells of an important discovery made by him and Deputy United States Marshals Tom Aus- tin and John Mullins. On Crooked Creek in Rockcastie County on last Friday night they entered what they bad been told was a small cavern in the side of a mountain to look for a moon shine distillery said to be in overation there. Having some trouble in finding the alleged still the three pushed on and suddenly fonnd themselves in an immense underground passage. This they followed through winding roads, sharp turns, nar- row passazes and huge chambers for fully a mile and three-quarters, finding in that distance two good-sized moonshine dis- tillery plants. After destroying these the officers con- cluded to return and prepaie for & more thorough investigation. Wilson feels posi- tive a long chaih of underground distil- lertes is to be found there, as a great deal of mooushine whisky has been traced to this neighborhood for vears without the Government agents being able to locate the point of manufacture. The cave discovered is a wonder and will itself bear exploration. There are in- dicatiGns of its having been known to the moonshiners for a long time, as they have put long ladders in places difficuit to as- cend or descend, and have widened nar- row passage: by hewing out the solid rock.. The place is admirably adapted for the purpose of moonshining and tae pro- tection of outlaws, for there arc many places where one man, armed with a Wia- chester rifle, could hold a large posse a bay. SLEEPS FOR ELEVEN DAYS. Strange S.umber of a Young Lady of Danbury, Conn., Who Awakes With an Appetite. DANBURY, Coxx., Jan. 19.—Miss Char- lotte Pittilla awoke from her eleven days’ slumber yesterday. She showed slight indications of returning consciousness Saturday night, and ber doctor expected the change that came yesterday morning. When some of the members of the family went into the giri’s room after breakfast they found her lying with her eyes open and apparently conscious. When they spoke to her she ancwered by asking for something to eat. Her voice was so weak that her words were scarcely audible. After they had taken fo d to her the doc- tor arrived, and perceiving her extremely weak condition, gave orders that she must not be si oken to except when necessary. Miss Pittilla told the doctor that she thought she had just awakened from a night’s sieep. He told her she had been very ill. “Why, I have aot been ill, have 17" asked she, “I have only been sleep- ing.” The doctor asked her if she remembered seeing him before, but she said she did not remember anything. He did not uestion her further, as she seemed to be zed. The girl slept the greater part of yesterday. The peculiar illness of the young woman and her ionc state of uncousciousness the doctor attributes 1o a severe shock to her nervous system. She became i!l eleven days ago, and since then has lain uncon- scious until her awakening yesterday morning. AL GENERAL SHERMAN'S LIBRARY. Sold by a St. Louis Carpenter for $30. Many Valuable Works in the Collection. CHICAGO, ILL., Jan. 19.—A special to a morning paper from St. Louis says: A collection of books of the !ate General ‘W. T. Sherman was sold.in St. Louis dur- ing the last week for §30. about fifty volumes of army records, regi- mental history, court-martial records and a general manuscript of war literature. The sale was made by Thomas Dooley, a carpenter, who did work for General Sher- man while the latter had his headquarters in this city as the commander of the United States army. According to Dooiey, General Sherman gave him the books just before he left St. Louis. The carpenter kept them un:il he moved a short time ago, when he packed the library in four large boxes. He then sold the outfit to a downtown book-dealer here for $30. On examination the book- deaier found a number of valuable vieces of literature, and a large proportion of the books contained the autographs of men of renown, There were testimonials from TU. 8. Grant, Rutherford B. Hayes, Phil Sheri- aan and others, besides any number of books presented to General Sherman by the authors. Many books, otherwise worthless, were made vaiuable by the autograph of the general himself. A large number of people Lave examined the col- lection, and negotiations with several G. A. R. posts and some military organ- izations looking to the sale of the collec- tion or part of it, are going on. — MYSTERICUS LOBRERY. Bag Containing $5600 Stolen From a New York kxpress Wagon.

Lashes the Ocean Into a Foam-Cov- ered Caldron for Hundreds of Yards Around. PORT TOWNSEND, Wasg., Jan. 19.— The brig Courtney Ford from Tahiti brings an account of a remarkable water- spout witnessed in the tropcs on the voy- age to this port. In longitude 145 and lat- itude 151 4, on November 28, at 6 P. M., a tremendons walerspout was observed scarcely a mile from the vessel. During the first five minutes it remained station- ary and reached an altitude of over 1000 feet, ending in a curious cumulous cloud. Its base was several hundred feet in di- ameter, and around it thé sea was lashed intoa caldron of white foam for a space of several hundred yards in circumfer- ence. The wind from the southeast was blow- ing at the rate of about two miles an hour. Slowly the spout moved away, though it remained in plain view for over an hour. Immediately afterward heavy clouds darkened the horizon and an ex- ceedingly heavy downpour of rain fol- lowed. Two hour later the sky was cleared as if by magic and the wind veered to the southwest, carrying the vessel far away from the locality. Captain McLeod filed a report on the phenomencn. with the hydrographic office. THREE HORE BANKS FAIL. Franlic Depositors Clamor for Admission To the Closed First National of Newport, Ky. CINCINNATI, Osnro, Jan. 19.—When the First National Bank of Newport did not open its doors yesterday there was much excitement. A crowd of excited de- positors assembled in front of the bank, clamoring for an exvplanation. No one was allowed in the institutiop. The officials sent out word that the bank was solvent, but had been forced to close for lack of ready money. Depos- itors, however, refused 10 be satisfied. Usly rumors found expression. The ex- citemsnt grew still greater when it be- came known that Comptroller Eckles and a national bank examiner of Washington were to be in Newport to-day. Their trip was desizned especially for the purpose of examining into the bank’s affairs. The capital stock is $200,000. John Trapp is president. ST.

After Eleven Years the United States Concludes to set a Consular Agent R ght. NEW YORK, N. Y., Jan. 19.—A Herald special from Washingion says: The ad- ministration isdetermined that Peru shall pay the claim for $200,000 growing out of the outrage committed in 1885 upon W. H. McCord, a consular agent of the United States. A cablegram has just been sent to the United States Minister in Lima, directing him to inform the Peruvian Government that the case must be settled without delay. A communica- tion received from the Minister a few days ago announced that Peru desired time in which to 1nvestigate the facts in the case. Secretary Olney at once ad- vised Mr. McKenzie, the United States Minister to Peru, that Pern had had more than eleven years to conduct an investi- gation, and that this time was quite enough. The cruiser Philadelphia is now on her way to Oallao from Valparaiso. The authorities say her presence in Peruvis waters has nothing todo with the negotia- tions concerning the McCord case, but her arrival ai Callao immediately after the presentation of a strong note by McKenzie is expected to have a good moral effect. During the revolution in Peru in 1885 McCord, who was a railrcad agent, was ordered to place a train of cars at the dis- posal of a Peruvian officer for the purpose of transporting supplies along the line. The order was complied with, but the engineer gave up the engine to the rebels, McCord was arrested and sentenced to be shot. This sentence was commuted and he was notified that he must pay a fine ot 10,000 soles. The friends of McCord raised the necessary amount and he was relieved. el S R FUR MELCHiNT MURDERED, Assatled by a Mob Seeking Worlk at His Factory. NEW YORK, N.

Mr. Bier, the president of the club, thought that if a bench show commitiee was formed the members who had evi- dently gone to the dogs would manifest an interest in the club and rally to its support; but when bhe asked for the names of the members present who were willing to serve on such a committee .not a sound was heard until the cracking of a match relieved the monotony. Watson finally moved that the club retire from the show business this year as its watch dog tad died because of the lack of nourishment and support, and that the American Kennel Ciub be so notified im- mediately. ¥ The motion was seconded and carried by a unanimous vote, and then there was general regret that the cld Pacific Kennel Club had seen its best days. Messrs. Bushnell and Haight were ap- pointed a committee to notify the Olympic Gun Club at a meeting which will be held this evening at 1309 Van Ness avenue, that it would have the unanimous support of the Pac .fic Kennel Club should it conclude to give a bench show 1n this City this vear. " Briggs, Brown, Bushnell, Haight and Watson were appointed a committee with instructions to interview, perscnally, each member of the Pacific Kennel Club and procure his wish as to the disposal of the money ($304), whicn is now in .he club's treasury, and if the club shail continue to remain on earth or disband, the committee o report progress at the next monthly meeting. B3 The president of the club, Mr. Bier, isin favor of holding_the money on hand in case the Pacific Kennel Club should de- cide latar on to give a show in 1898— that is, provided, of course, it will not meet with any serious accident that may curtail its existence. The Olympic Gun Club will doubtless Jdetermine this evening what its pleasure will be regarding the giving of a show on 1ts own responsibi i y this vear, — STAGES ON THE DESERT. Frelght Tarifts and Pussenger Fares Fixed to Randsburg. Instead of building an extension from Mojave to Randsburg, the metrovolis of a booming muing section, the Southern Pacific has acquired a rapid-transit stace line, or made a traffic arrangement with one of the stage lines that have been scalping the public down in that region since the news first' went forth to the world that gold is to be found thereabouts, The company’s officials recently decided to wait till greater age and ereater perma- nency to the volume of traffic descends on Randsburg before recommending the ex- tension of the railroad. The distance from Mojave to Randsburg is forty-two miles and the stage lines for the transportation of passengers and freight have had the fixing of rales in their own hands. The public had to pay irregular heavy fares or walk. It is said that the net profits of several siage lines nave been greater than any gold mine in the Randsburg district and would have continued to b: had not ihe octopus got in and made a deal with one of the lines. The alliance of the Southern Pacific with a stage line insurés a uniform rate for the transportation of passengers and freight, and the other stage lines must | meer the rate or there will be a rate war on the trail that will make the desert sands fly. There are several roads or trails by which the stages travel. One is the old Borax road, another the old Death Valley wagon road, and the latest is the new stage road. Since the Southern Pa- ¢ fic has absorbed or made a traffic dgree- ment with a stage iine there promises to be more work and faster traveling for the horses as a result of the comvetition.
