Quo Warranto Proceedings Issued Against Mayor Corcoran Yester day Fatal Accident at Schooley Shaft Battery M Goes to Seran ton More of tho Storm's Work. District Attorney Martin yesterday signed quo warranto papers calling upon Thomns J. Corcoran, (if this city, to appear and show why he accepted the nfllce of mayor during the term for which he was elected a member of tho common council, and also to show cause why he should not be ousted from tho olllce. A few days ago appli cation was made for tho Issuance of a quo warranto. Tho district attorney has no Judicial power In tho matter, but requested that the parties to tho quo warranto appear before him for a hearing, and this wns held yesterday morning. Attorneys Whcaton and Mor ris appeared for the quo warranto, whllo J. T. Lcnahan repiosonted Mayor Corcoran, and nfter both sides had been heard the district uttorney signed tho quo warrnnto. The new case will now go before the president Judge dur ing tho recess of court nnd will prob ably come up In court at tho Septem ber session. The above proceedings have been dally expected since Mayor Corcoran was elected by the council, as ex-Mayor Howman at that time filed objections to tho transaction, and stated that the action of council was contrary to law. During the storm on Wednesdny evening the cellars on the property of Paul llohan und Mrs. Carabine were flooded, while tho Alpine mills on the Oregon flats were surrounded by water which had come down from tho sur rounding hills. In the building were nearly two hundred girls and they be came considerably disconcerted when they found themselves prisoners. A young man named Joyce came to tho rescue by constructing an improvised raft, and they were piloted across tho torrent In squads and enabled to reach their homes. The lightning burned out tho electric connections at the Forest Castle brew ery on Wednesday night and left that building, together with the offices nnd barns, In total darkness. Work had to be resumed with the nld of candle dips. A force of telephone linemen have been encaged during the week string ing cables on Main and Water streets and on the West Side, nnd when the work Is completed the net of wires on these thoroughfares will disappear. The cable consists of 104 Insulated wires, and will meet all requirements for a large service. The Improvement will be appreciated. The common council met last even ing for the transaction of general rou tine business, the character of which did not necessitate the presence of a blue coat and brnss buttons. An nccldent which terminated with fatal results occurred to Samuel Evans yesterday morning In the Schooley shaft at Wyoming. While attending to his duties as miner a piece of soap stone slate fell from tho roof and crushed In a portion of his skull.

Owing to the strike Inst mouth the pay at tho Hallstead mine did not make much of an Impression on business. The usual drunken orgies were not appar ent last night, and business nt the Motlska and Gllboy courts was cor respondingly dull. The funeral of the late Mrs. Thom ns Conroy occurred yesterday morn ing and a solemn mass of requiem was celebrated by Very Rev. Eugeno A". Garvey In St. John's church.

Roth he and a fellow workman, John Thomas, were caught by a fall of roof. The accident hap pened about half past six o'clock In tho evening.

In blnck and col- 1 Qr ors, at only i w t Scapegrace of the Family V -f-f - From tho Detroit Free Press. There Is a bright young man, living In one of the finest homes In one of the prettiest parts of Detriot, who Is now there on probation. Any serious departure from the lino of good behav ior marked out for him will lead to exile. He may be sent to help on a ranch, to do some kind of duty nbout an active copper mine or to assist In wrestling dividends from a boat lino or a railroad, for his father is finan cially Interested In all that sort of thing; lit It Is certain that he must go and go on short notice unless he complies with the rules recently laid down to govern his conduct. He's bright, genial, tactful and en terprising, but all these gifts have a tendency to unite themselves In prac tical joking. And he does not measure consequences In gratifying this pro pensity. He hired a man to personate an ofllcer and serve a writ command ing the old gentleman's appearance In court to nnswer the charge of hav ing tried to sell the park board a Jer sey cow on the representntlon that it was a red deer. Tho father never owned a Jeirey cow or saw a red deer, but he flew around excitedly to stralijhten th" matter out and wns so laughed at that ho offered a reward for the perpetrator of the fraud. Then the pretended oflioer betrayed his em ployer nnd gave the whole thing uwny. A severe lecture which the old gen tleman gave the boy closed the Inci dent. The jovial youth did not look n day older or show the innri; of n care. The clouds had scarcely rolled by till there was another storm. One of a church committee helping to securo places for the Christian Knde-ivows called upon tho mother to thank her for the liberal response she had made to the demands of the pppronchlng con vention. "Thirty. mv dear lady." said tho caller sweetly, "It's .1 larger number than we have been nble to place at any other residence In the city, and we want to tell you personal ly how highly we appreciate your kindness. It Is moro than generous and-" "Dut pardon me," said the confused matron, "I fear there Is some misun derstanding." "Not at all. Your son was consid erate enough to call upon us nnd ny that you would entertain a party of thirty and expressed regret that you could not take more, it was tho mosi encouraging thing that has happened since tho committee was organized. Wo have assigned you some delight ful peoplo from Massachusetts." As a number of relntlves had benn Invited by the fnmlly to visit thcin during tho convention and as the In vitation had been accepted there was nothing for tho good lady to do bu; admit that tho committee had been hoaxed, and the air was chilly as the representative of that body departed. Again tho youth had a seanco In the Horary and a strong Intimation was thrown out that If he did not curb his roltlshness moro drastic methods would 'je resorted to. Thero Is noth ing vicious nbont tho young fellow, who never seeks his fun In dissipation, but as a practical Joker ho seems to b Incorrigible, and tho best ho ap peared able to do wns to restrict him oelf to minor manifestations of hla weakness for a time. Then came tho 4 outbreak that brought a final warning.

"Say Kit," began the orother after dinner the other evening, "let's ride out to tho park. I have something to tell you and you won't care to have every one henr It. Fred's In It." That wns enough, for Fred was tho limb of the law referred to. On tho way out the brother would tell noth ing, because, he explained, he might ns well proclaim his secret from the housetop ns In an open car. Into tho woods at Palmer park, and where they had to fight mosquitoes with both hands ns well as both feet, he took her and then unbosomed himself. "You're sure about Fred?" he In quired, with the perfect Imitation of a worried countenance. "Perfectly sure. Don't be absurd. Have you brought me out hero to bo eaten up just to put a foolish conun drum like that?" "No, that is simply introductory. Hut perhaps I had better lcit It go for tlu whole thing." "Don't ho mean, now. If there's any thing to toll, tell It and don't leave me to Imagine a lot of horrible Impossibil ities." "Well, don't blame me, then. I went to see Fred. In his ofllcc yesterday. Ho was pegging away on some kind of a case nnd we talked while he worked. Finally he warmed up to such an ex tent that he threw off his coat, and In doing so dropped a photograph on the floor. I would have thought nothing of that, but he wus so quick to grab It, blushed so deeply nnd muttered so in coherently that I knew he wns greatly agituteil and was ashamed that I hail seen what I did." "Pshaw! What Is there In all that to drag me seven or eight miles tut 1 the country to tell me about?" Then, after a strained silence: "Did you se tae picture?" "Oh, If It's such a trivial matter we'll not discuss It nny more. This Is nbout as pleasant as chatting In a bee hive. Come on." "I'll not come a step till you tell me whether you saw that picture." "Well, I did. It was the face of a stunning girl; just ns pertty and be witching a representative of her sex as I ever saw. Now you better get the rest from him. I'm not going to be In former and scapegoat, too." Not a dozen sentences were Inter changed on the way In. The girl's voice was metallic and her eyes snapped. The brother spoke low and looked sad. The next day the mother seemed suppressed and the old gentle man appeared like one who yearned to sharpen the toe of his boot. In the evening Fred, called, wondering why she did not meet him on tho veranda with extended hands and with welcom ing smile. He seemed In the ntmos phcre of an Ice house as ho went un attended to the parlor. "Howdy, Kit." he began In his usual way, but her statuesque attitude nnd hard feutures paralyzed him. " 'flood eveiilng, Mr ." ' 'Mlsi Illnnk, If you please, nnd kindly make your cull as conventional ns you can. Mo explain?" she echoed. "I have not asked for an explanation and If you want ono it must be of your own limiting." "Hut what am I to explain KI Miss Plunk? You make It very hard for me." "I should Judge from your uncer tainty that thero must bo several things demanding explanation, but I have special reference to that picture of a handsome young lady that you carry nbout with you." "Oh, that rascally brother of yours, I'd like to shako hint till his hair fell out." "live no doubt. Put ho's my broth er, nnd you'd scarcely expect him to keep your uccrets affecting me." Big.
