WEST SIDE EVENTS.
No Truth in the Report That a Dancer
ous Cave-la Is in Prospect in
the Diamond Mine.
A report which excited all who heard
.t, has been current on the West Side
for the jiBHt several days. Miners from
the Diamond colliery, near North Main
avenue, say that 'the Clarke vein I set
tling, and that a cave ix Imminent. All
the workmen had been taken out, mild
the rumor, and the colliery wax ubout
to be closed pending development of the
fall.
inside Foreman James A. Evan was
Mren last night. He explained that the
report was false. "True there is a slight
settling," said Mr. Kvans, "but there is
'absolutely no daiiKer." The full or 'set
tling" Is In the Clarke vein, the tilth
down, and the effect Is felt on the chart
nells over this. Mr. Kvans explained
that the disturbance is exclusively hi
the abandoned wot king of the mine."
"How long has It been In evidence?"
was asked
In answer the foremun said tliut
every 'abandoned working was subject
to settlings. A force of men have, for
some time nasi, been engaged n tilling
the affected parts at the Diamond and
the work will be continued utitii all Is
neuln at rest. On the surfuce which I
the region near Ttipps' crossing, no evi
dence of the settling lias been seen.
This Is accounted for by the depth of the
Clarke from the surface, over 30U feet.
What gave rise to the rumor, says Mr.
Kvans. Is the fust that a number of men
were on Huturduy moved from one part
of the shaft to another. This was dune
to facilitate mine operation and for no
other i canon.

CRAZY O.N THE CAB.
An Eiperience Which Shows What
Xay Be to Be a Fireman.
It
"Speaking of experiences," remarked
an old engineer to a Washington Star
reporter, "have 1 your permission to
narrate a little one that happened to
me during my first year on an engine
"Not only my permission." responded
the generous reporter, but my Impera
tive command and an Invitation to take
something while you are about It."
The preliminaries being satisfactorily
arranged, the engineer proceeded with
his story.
H was twunty-nve years ago." he
said, "and I was a fireman on a road in
New York state. The engineer I fired
for was, or rather had been, one of the
best on the roud, but he had been turn-
ed over und steamed under a locomotive
boiler In a wreck and after that he was
giver, a less important train. Not so
much because he was any the less good
as an engineer, but because officials
have an idea that It takes a man's
nerve away when a serious accident
happens to him. We had a run of
about seventy-five miles, each way
and on Sundays In summer we carried
excursions.
"We had never had any trouble, but
for a month before the experience I am
telling my engineer had been In a bad
temper and acted as ugly as the mis
chief. I reported the matter to the
division superintendent und he told me
to stick It out for a month or so longer.
as they proposed to relieve the old man
and put him at work In the shops. Two
Sundays after that we were returning
In the evening about 9 o'clock btjilnd
time, owing to delays occasioned by
washouts causing us to run slow and
cautious. We had twenty miles to go,
and it was over the worst part of the
road, and I wus watching out of the cab.
when all at once the engineer gave
shout and made a grab at me. His eyes
were blazing, and I could see In a sec
ond that he was either drunk or crazy,
How I got away from him I don't
know, for he did his best to throw me
off the cab, but I got away and climbed
up on the wood pile up on the tender,
He didn't follow, but turned at once to
the throttle and threw it wide open.
knew what that meant with six coaches
full of people behind us and a bad track.
and the first thing t did was to try to
knock him out with a stick of wood
missed my throw and he came at me
with a heavy Iron bar, and I went over
the rear of the tender on to the plat
form of the car next to us. By this time
we were fairly Jumping over the track,
and I was so rattled that I didn't know
what to do.
"In a second, though, I gathered my.
self and uncoupled the train, from the
locomotive, which was not so hard to
do, as we were on a down grade, and
the engine was bouncing so that the
coupling pin swung loose at Intervals.
Then 1 slapped on the brake there and
went through the train as fast
could, telling the brakemen and con
ductor to slow up, and to do It quick,
Our part of the train being stopped we
got out to see where the engine had
gone, but we could see nothing. Putting
behind us to stop the next train, the
conductor and I went ahead to find
what had become of the runaway.
'Two miles away, or two minutes at
the rate he was going, we found rhe en
gine In the ditch and the engineer bur
ied under it. The engine had struck a
soft place and spread the tails any
body knows what that means, and think
what the result would have been to a
train load of passengers going after the
engine at sixty miles an hour. It almost
made my hair gray to think about It,
and when the people on the train heard
the story, they made up a purse for me
that almost made it curl, und t con
cluded that It was an 111 wind Indeed
wtllch blew no guod."

A Kelharkable Addition to the Num.
her Known to Be So.
Of late years there has been a won
derful udditlun to the number of known
useful plants, the total being now put
at about 10.000 by the botanists. Among
the lot are 0.000 roughly classed as
'economic and food plants." The
above Includes 1,100 edible fruits and
berries und 300 edible seeds. Fifty are
reckoned umong the cereals and forty
as "uncultivated edible graminaceous
seeds." Four hundred and twenty are
lassed as "vegetables and Salads," and
2U0 are listed among the "food tubers."
There are thirty-seven of the -onion
pedes, forty palms, thirty-two varie
ties of arrowroot, thtrty-nlne plants
from which sugar may be extracted In
paying quantities and forty others
reckoned among the "saleps," whatever
that may be. Vinous drinks are ob
tained from "'ut plants: aromatlcs from

fee und l'J9 for tea. Tannin Is present
In 148 plants and caoutchouc (India
rubber) In ninety-six. Gutta percha Is
found In but seven, while "resin and
balsamic" gums are yielded by not less
than There are ten wax trees and
plants and :i20 which yield "grease and

fibers that are of use to the weaver and
forty-four are used In making paper.
Forty-eight are used In making roofflng
preparations and 740 are used In miscel

the plants known to belong to the Vege
table kingdom only 615 are In any de

ing the Interest on all the money you paid
out for these useless bundles?
Editor Great Magazine Huh! You finan
ciers have not the first 'Idea about litera
ture. Every one of these manuscripts Is
from a d'fferent author, and the whole

Wall Street Review.
New York, July 25,-The action of the
Populists at St. Louis yesterday In tioinl
natln one of their own leaders for the

a strong opening at the Stock Exchange
today. It was argued by the bulls that
this would probably prevent a fusion with
the Democrats and to this extent wss fa
vorable to the cause ot sound money. A
report that MclKnley's letter of accept
ance would contain a strong endorsement
for the gold standard also Induced pur
chases for both accounts, and the fact
that there was no gold shipments owing to
the stand taken by the banking interest
of the country also had some Influence on
the market, Iike Shore rose S per cent.,
