KINSLEY MAY NOT RESIGN
One of His Personal Friends So States.
Mayor Bailey Says There Is
an Understanding.
Concerning the piescnt status of the
Kinsley muttei, Ma or Ualley ji'stoi
da declined to leveal what his ionise
would be 01 to comment upon TuesdU
night's action of common count II. The
common council Instead of concuiilng
In select council's Chittenden lesolu
tlon requesting the ma or to temove
Ktieet Compilssloncr Kinsley fiom olllte
had appointed a, committee to wait up
on the muot and get from him his
opinion on the leslllt of the tecent Inves
tigation. Maor Ualley temaiked that on
Ihuisduy he had been notified by Mr.
Kinsley of the resignation of Pel Igo,
the usslstant eoinmtuhloner, on Satut
Uay. His honoi conflimed the state
ment made bv Piesldont Oiler of com
mon council Thuisdny night that theie
was an undel standing that Mi. Klnslev
vould leslgn Aplll 1 The mayoi would
not, however, state -what his uttltude
vould be tow aid the -peclul committee,
Mc-ms. Flanagun, Keller and Zeidler,
appointed to wait on him by common
council.
Theie Is a movement on foot In coun
cils to make the term of ofllce of the
street commissioner begin on the flist
Tuesda In Apt 11. Republicans and
Demociats have advocated this plan
and it Is bald to have no dliect beating
on political grounds or on the Kinsley
question The cltv engineer teim be
gins and ends on that day and It Is
deemed that the business of the city
will be facilitated by having the tenute
ot each office cover the tame peilod.
The lnfoimatlon that came fiom Pies
Ident Gilel and endoised by Mayoi Bal
lej to the effect that Mr. Kinsley, ac
coidlng to an undei standing, would le
slgn April 1, Is not at all positive of
fulfillment. Xo later than esteulay a
gentleman well veised In city aftalis
and a lciscnal f 1 lend of ill. Kinle
made the statement that Mr Kinsley
would not leslgn, at lpast not until
some otliclal body declaicd him guilty
ot misconduct In oll'ce.

I'ciilous Position.
John Thomas, a pump runner, and
Thomas Needliam, u chmgeinan, em
ploycM by Benjamin Phillips. In deep
ening Johnson's, 'shaft at Pilcebutg,
had ti most thrilling expeilence yestei
duy moinlng.
Coining up on the bucket the ball
caught on some piotiubauce und one
side of It bioke from the bm ket. Hang
ing only b one lde of the ball the
bucket twisted, twilled and bumped
ugulnst the sides, teaiing away the
steam and watet pipes mid signal wiles
and tlnowlng the men out. Mliaoulous
as it may seein'hotlr men nrunaged to
clutch sdmethlng und pi evented them
selves fiom lulling
Needliam, us he felt himself going,
sti etched out his hands by chance
mote than un thing else, caught liuld
ol the chain which is suspended fiom
the lope to the ball, of the bucket
Johnoon landed plumb against an up
right pipe and clutched It fot deal lite.
NUHDHAM: CLIM12HD UP.
Needliam by climbing up the lope
reached the point wheie the hunting
commenced and was enabled to clnmber
to the Clinic vein landing Johnson,
howevei. could only cling to the pipe
and uhout for help. It was too gient a
height to climb and It was Impossible
to slide to tlie bottom as the pipe did
not leacli within twenty feet of it. His
onl hope was to hang theie until ics
cued. This was not as easy a matter as
might seem. Tlie bucket befoie coming
to a stop toie loose eveiy thing that It
encounteied and as a consequence it
,vas highly dangetous to the man hang
ing on tlie pipe below, to attempt to
mo e the bucket or to let anybody
clown past It, as a piece of timber
might be dislodged and crash dow n on
Thomas' head At nil events it was
tlilit-Ilve minutes befoie he was tes
cued and accot cling to his own state
ment If succor had been delaed live
minutes longer he would have been
killed for his limbs were becoming
numb and he could not hav e held on
much longer. The distance fiom wheie
he was hanging to the bottom of the
shaft Is eighty feet, and had his
fatiength failed him he would sutel
have been dashed to death.
THOMAS INTCRVIHWHD.
Thomas lives on Notth Washington
avenue opposite tlie county jail. When
visited theie yesteidny by a Tilbune
reportei he said it was, the most tin 11
llng expciitnce he had ever gone
thiough and hoped he would never have
to go thiough It again. Hanging theie
In the dmkness, his lamp having been
extinguished by the fall from the buck
et, w 1th no Idea of how or w'hen he was
going to be lelleved, he felt, he said,
that every minute aftet the first live
or ten minutes was as long as an hour.
And to aggravate his toimont the
tescueis by mistake loweied the lope
down the wiong shaft and had to lalse
It after it was just opposite him and
leave it asrain down the shaft he was
suspended In. They had made a noose
In It and by slipping his foot thiough
this and clinging with one hand to the
lope and the othei to the pipe to stead
himself he was hoisted tafel to the
top His legs from being wounded
about the plpo weie black and blue and
skinned In seveial places.

THE FIRST OF APRIL
We commence making alterations and improvements
in the building, and we must get rid of the stock be
fore that time. WE KNOW THE SACRIFICE that
we must make to induce the public to buy, and we
do not hesitate to make it. If we realize ONE-HALF
of the cost on the balance of our stock we will be sat
isfied. THIS MEANS
AND YOU SHOULD TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT,
The Balance of the stock is New Fresh Goods,
light in weight and very desirable for Spring and
Summer wear. Russet Shoes and Oxfords if you
want them.
