Administrator ITEMS OF INTEREST OCCURRING YESTERDAY Killed in a Coal Mine-A Boy Badly Injured-Other Matters of Moment Look Out for Sneak Tnleves Superintendent Newitt says that the town is infested with a gang of sneak thieves and prowlers and that while the police will do all in their power to capture these sneaks a great deal of trouble will be saved if citizens will keep their windows closed at night It is of course a hardship to suffer somewhat from heat at night but it is safer and better than to wake up in the morning and find everything gone but the bed The Chief also desires The Courier to say that anyone leaving the city should report to him and special core will be taken of their property during their absence CRUSHED TO DEATH frank Hudson A Goal Miner Hilled by Falling Slate A fatal accident occurred at the Diamond Coal mines on the String-town road yesterday which resulted in the death of Frank Hudson aged 19 who has been in the employ of the company about a year The following facts were gleaned from the inquest: Yesterday morning Chas Domer Paul Schutheis Ben Sohn and Frank Hudson descended into tho mine and worked together until about 10 when Hudson went to another part of the mine to bail water That was the last seen of him alive At the noon hour Ben Sohn was sent to call him to go to the surface and found young Hudson lying at the entrance of one of the rooms on a heavy piece of timber used as a brace pinned there by a heavy piece of soapstone which had fallen on his breast from the roof while smaller pieces lay across his face He was badly crushed and quite death As soon as possible he was brought to the surface but it was seen at a glance that he was beyond earthly help The Coroner was notified and an inquest held yesterday afternoon resulting in a verdict being rendered in accordance with the facts Mr Hudson was one of three brothers that worked in the mine and lived with his parents near the old poor farm His Foot Cut Off Yesterday evening a son of John Schnablo living on Columbia street met with a serious accident He with a number of boys were playing about a number of cars which were being switched on the Union track and in attempting to jump on one of the ears he sllp-ed and fell between the moving wheels which caught his right foot and passed over it about an inch below the toes crushing and mangling the member so bad that amputation was necessary The boy was removed home quickly and his injuries carefully attended to and at list accounts he was resting easily AMUSEMENTS Opera House Next Monday night the

and the Captain told us that in a canyon several miles from our camp there was a hermit lion whom he never failed to get a glimpse of when taking the trail that way For years back he had missed seeing him but of late he had noticed that the lion was lame probably from having run a cactus point into his foot or frbm jumping too much out of tho way of earthquakes Tho smuggler described so accurately where the lion hung out that we went over the next morning to get a shot canyon was just about the worst place you ever saw Tho bottom was a jungle of scrub live oak so donso that wo had to crawl on onr hands and knees in many places The sides were volcanic rock jagged and broken with holes and crevices Jack was on ahead and I at his heels when wo camo face to face with the lion who was sitting in tho mouth of his cave trying to Btare us out of countenance lie gave ona scratch and then his long tail disappeared around the corner of a big bowlder just ns we got sight of him Neither had a chance to eAiooL Half a minute later we saw him go limping up tho side of tho di-vide and when ho reached the top ho squatted and looked complacently down at us Ho was provokingly out of shot and he knew it as well as we did began ono of tho most scientific hunts on record Wo were both as mad as hornets Up hill and down dale wo followed that brute until dark He was nover over one thousand yards away bnt never in shot no would run and limpt and squat blink at us wiggle liis tail at us and seem to coax us to follow him' Eloven miles we went in a bee line from campt and it took us until next

aro all familiar with the great cities of Europe either by actual observation or through tlio columns of current literature but less is known perhaps about the great cities of Asia niul it is about tlio city of Tokio tho capital of Japan that I wish to write to-day It is larger than any city on tho American continent with the exception of New York It contains fully 1250009 peoplo and extends over an area nine miles long by eight broad It is a city of immense distances For instance to go from the station as you come in from Yokohama lo tho station you leave to go into the country you cross a distanco of six miles or about twice as far as from the Battery to the Central Depot in New York Tho city is curiously laid out In the very center is a large round tract of land containing tho castle and some other public buildings This is surrounded by a moat or rather a canal which is in the form of a spiral It goes around the castle two and a qn arter times Within tho second ring are the houses of many of tho noblemen and some more of tho public buildings Outside of all this is the city proper which is intersected in all directions by canals Never was there seea a city in which it was easier to lose self than in Tokio This spiral caual and the many heavy stone walls and frequent turnings make ono lose his bearings even on a sunny day The history of Tokio lias been called a history of fires plagues and earthquakes Perhaps no one city can compare with this in the number of its disastrous accidents In 1500 it was nothing Lut a little fishing village but it was at that time made tiro capital of this section and from that time its growth was extremely rapid as can be gathered from tho fact that in 1667 a great fire called the fire of Mei Roki destroyed 107046 peoplo and swept awny 500 mansions of tho first nobility 770 of other nobles 350 temples and 1 200 streets again in 1678 only eleven years later almost the whole city was burned In 1703 an earthquake carried away 37000 people In 1773 a peslilenco laid its hand on the city and took tho almost inconceivable number of 190 OOd souls In 1856 SO 000 buildings were destroyed by earthquake and 100000 peoplo perished These are only tho greater calamities that have befallen this city and it is a terrible record It was in 1878 that the Mikado made the change of his residence from Kioto this city Since that time the two cities have grown apart so that it is hard to believe that they belong to the same nation Kioto is old Japan Tokio is new Japan Through the center of Tokio runs a loug street her and on either side aro fine buildings in the European stylo of architecture Every thing that a foreigner would wish to nso in furnish-: ing a house or roplenishing his wardrobe can be found on this street All the signs are in English although often accompanied by tho native language A thorough system of paving sewerage illumination and fioyse-car transportation make Tokiq more European than some cities in Europe Of course I went through the bazars and temples and parks all of which were interesting One in the museum is worth mentioning: It was a stuffed specimen of a native domestic fowl now almost extinct The peculiarity is its tail which by measurement is thirteen English foot long Tho body of tho bird is about tho normal sixo Cor Newark Advertiser -w ft- 10 401 ZMIAJOsT Awnuut PanliM Teats
