P. .R. bridge across the .Columbia has claimed another \ictini. , The fifth accident'and second, fatality on'this work occurred yesterday morning when an experienced bridgeinan and old employe, named John .McSottrley, lost his life. He w.ts working with others on tlie bottom cord, about 20 feet bo- low'the top of the bridge, and 2o feet irbove the ice and timber. He was (,111c of Miller's bridge gang, and they were /taking out rods and castings near the surface of'the bridge, which loosened ���������them for lowering by ropes. One of these castings was broken, but the -���������fracture being on tlie under side 'was not'observed, and.a piece weighing 80 to 1)0 pounds fell and struck IvIcSourley' knocking hini to the -ice .and 'rubbish below. -The - man who'"* handled the rope 'and castings above, cried -'look out," and one man jumped out of the way, but McSourley, did not appear to realize the danger, and caught the full blow,' slightly stooping, on -his back.. In falling, he struck a Swede who was made insensible for awhile, but t*was notseiiously injured. McSourley receded two severe cuts, one on the back of the head, the other on the forehead, each about three inches long, from which blood flowed profusely. There did not appear to be any internal injury, but death occurted between 12 and 1 o'clock, about five hours after the accident. Elijah McDonald was one of the first to help him, and staid with him at the car to which he was removed. McSourley recognized hini and said "Mack, take me home." * t Dr. McKechnie says there was no fracture of the skull, and as far as could be judged no internal injury, but in his opinion death waseaused by hemorrhage which brought fatal pressure upon the organs ,of respiration., Dr. McLean, Coroner, and officer T. Cad man summoned a jury composed of F.'B. Wells, W. M. Brown, A. McNeil, Albert Stone, John Abrahamson and James W. Vail, (foreman.) Several witnesses gave testimony in substance as abo\e detailed, and the finding of the jury was as follows : "That the said John McSourley 011 the 27th day of March, being at work on the railway bridge across the Columbia river at Rcvelstoke, was struck by a casting falling from a height of about I.*} trot, and knocked to the timber and ice below, about, 20 to 2~> fe<*l, by means whereof the said John McSourley received wounds which caused his death about five houis aflerward**!. And we, the jurors, would recommend that c\- ticmo caution should be taken by (hose in charge of constructing this In idge, "iii"giving"warning of danger that may be feared, to the working men below, in time to save themselves." The companions of the deceased had made every preparation for the funeral which was timed for 2.30 this afternoon, at which hour many friends of the dead man had assembled at the bridge car. The cortege was about to start for the grave u hen a telegram was received from relatnes to forward the body of deceased to Lis old home near Ottawa, Out. Accordingly, the :-'mains were conveyed to the. station and will be sent east to-morrow. It will be taken off at Donald and placed in a hermetically sealed casket, as required by thc regulations of Ontario.

'J'he French and Russians opposed the vote -tronglv and trouble is feared. One rumor is 1ii.il tlie. French ainhass.-.dor to London I R0SSLAND MINE EXPLOSION Attributable to the Carelessness of One 'of the Victims. * An inquest was held on the bodies of the victims of the recent mine horror at , Jlobsland and from , the evident.'**! it ia apparent 'that the explosion, which resulted in the death of (ive men was caused through the carelessness of one of the victims wh'o was engaged in boring p'owder sticks with the end of his candlestick, containing a lighted candle, a practice common amongst niineis. Thostoiy of thi* disasler as told to the,-jury by Jeioiniah Collins, Ed. Shaiiaghaii's companion is as follows : Sat ui day, the I Ith instant, I was worlingon the day shift iii the Center .Star1 mine. I was working with the deceased Siiaiiagiian. We wei;o finished drilling and n.vidy to charge the holes. I went to,the blacksmith -shop foi lV.se and .-tring.' The fuse is kept in the blacksmith shop already capped. I returned with ���������i.he twelve pieces'of fuse that were needed, v.-ith cap upon each piece. 1 went to the place where the powder was. I found Shanaghan there digging powder out of the sticks. He had prepared thiee or- four sticks and laid them between ine and him for ine'to grea-p the fuse. He had a wire candlestick which was not huge enough to make the hole iu the stiok for the cap. He was using his own candlestick. I, laid the fuse around the bucket of grease so . that 'I could pull them out as I needed * them. I had taken the i'u.st one out and greased it, put tho hole-in a1'cartridge with my 'own candlestick, put the grease on and closed the paper around the fuse, and was r.ving Lhe string around the paper and fitse. ���������' 1 think 1 had the cartridge between-my khe.es wtien Shanaghan jumped over me, knocking ine down. He did not speak as tie jumped over inc. I saw three stick- of powdei on" fiie as soon as he had jumped over me. .I got up ari.l Shanigiian was ont of my sight. 'When 1 saw the powder blazing I .started out. of lhe tunnel.^ Sh.in.igh:ui was ahead of me and fell.' lie was on ui:: leet before* I en.ild pass hini. When we weie al. the door of the blacksmith shop. Shanaghan first >poke, saving, ".Wry. tor Christ's sake go' and 'it'll Pete,"���������"meaning the' fo'-em.an. 1 told the foreman, who was in "tlie blacksmith shop, that the powder was on fire. Ke ask^d .if-���������.Wtf had told .the men .inside. - 1-said we had 110 time to'"do"'So. -He then"Win out,of the shop, but I do not know where he'went to. When f'earue out 1 found Shanaghin standing .us I had left him, facing the tunnel in. front of the shop... I told him this is a" bad place to be. He did not speak or move that I -aw. That wa- the last I saw of him before the explosion. Not moie than, two minute.- elapsed from the time the J powder took fire until the explosion occurred. The powder I saw on fire was the powder I mentioned as being prepared and laid between us. There rouM.be no caps on those sticks. The caps and fuse would not be distant more than twenty inches from the burning , powder. The caps were nearest' the fiie. I carried the stick into which I had placed the cap to the point where Shanaghan fell; I then threw it behind me as far as I could, f know that it was never found. I could have thrown the burning powder away fi0111 the place where it was if I had, not been knocked down. I could have dom\so after I had got on to my, feet again if I had not lost* niv presence of mind. I don't kiiow how much powder there was at the place where the explosion occurred. Jt was the duty of Joseph Dolan to ,place thc. .powder there, under (he foreman's.instructions. Tha foreman carried tho'keys to the, powder magazine. The burning sticks would be. not inore than two feet di5-.tat1l.from the heater on which the powder was. The heater was a square tin box, long enough for two -ticks inside. Oul-ide it was another which, held the hot wnler. So far as I know all the powder in the tunnel at that time was iu the heater excepting the sticks Shanaghan had removed from it. I think the Iu'"ifc'r would hold not more than 100 pounds; I don't, know how much powdei' wa,s in the heat.er.it the time. 1 saw Shanaghan after the explosion. I ie was lying on his back about 50 lo 75 feet from when* lie hail beeit standing when I left him. Shanaghan was using his randiest ic1--, in which there was n lighted candle, for removing powder fi out the sticks, and il must have been from his candle thai the pi.wder was ignited. 1 think Iii.- candle had been burned not more than one hour. It is customary to tt-e our candlestick- for preparing the powder to receive Ihe fuse. The jury returned the following verdict : Thatthe-.-iid IDd Shanaghan, together wilh .lo-eph J)olan, .Michael (J.ivigan, Daniel Lynch and Thoma- (Jibhons came to their death by an "\plosii,u of i-ianl powder in the ('"enter SI ar mine. Finns the evidence we are ol the opinion that the expln-aon was caused by the giant powder becoming ignited from -i lighted candle in thc hand.- of Ed Shanaghan wii'de priming e.irt- lidgesfor bla-ting in Ihe mine. Tiie cu-to:n we find to be common among miners of boring out the end of c.-trl- rtdge- wit li the end ol a ,candl> .-tick containing a lighted candle should be univer-aily condemned. We should recommend lo the legislature of British Columbia that a law be passed that no oowder-I1.1M l������"'*-to!-i-.l in a ir.ine. and The Remedial Bill Conference.'

With an apparent deficit of close upon one-third of thc entire revenue of thc Province, and a considerable increase in the taxation borne "by the people, it is hardly likely that the .

It has further ,demonstrated, the fact that all of the great-fissure veins, and most profitahle ,mining districts, -lhat have heen discovered and worked are* in close proxi- mitv to or within a few miles of the junction of the primitive with the -secondary formation; sometimes in the former and sometimes in the latter, mid frequently, in both slrala at the same time and place. This principle applies more palpably to the oldet'and less disturbed regular formation. This is especially the case*in California: in many deep placers, hei gravel drifts are ancient river beds, covered up hy lava flows 100 and 200 feet, thick. These placers are fixed by running tunnels beneath the basalt lavas until tlie iIvor gravel is reached. In some places this gravel lias been cemented together by thc alkaline waters, which are so highly chained with .silica, and whii'h have j percolated through llu* lava floor. This is the case in many pi.ices in Oiegon. On the soutli fork of the Cociuille river, in Coos County.'

But the very f.ict of your asking M.iry to bo your wife assumes that sho is a person of understanding sufficient to know her own mind. Your proposal was not made'under any false pretences.

Silcne.o she finds it impossible to fio^ive. Aside s from the grioT she suiiers, ins reticence puts her at such a cruel disadvantage. Unless he spe-iks the mairie words, she is powerless to tell him how patiently she,will await tho turn of hid forturiu3 or tho removal of whatever obstacle-^ n-parate they). "Waiting is one of tho ��������� things women possess a pontivo genius for' and uncertainty a trial they are .���������.helpless to combat. As ail the-world a.-rees, men and women hold c'iametri- c������iiy opposite views ns to what i& l.-or.or- - able.

Then, too, Mary ii justified in b"li%1-.ing that John's mountain, sensibly upproi.ohcd, wili prove to bo the, men st moiehill. Of conr.-e, his soiitimont about his old. mother is very adtniiahle, but is it jiint or right? Because she it :tu ehlf-rty, feeble and much imln'MC1. old lady is no reai-on \*-iiy he should niii.iu single.

As ft rule, the onibarr.isse.ionfc that begets a long engagement is financial; bur whatever it may be the m-i-i should speak. If he believes hi-- love is returned he has no right to wit1.hold from the woman a complete confession of his feelings. Not only is *it muting her with tne proper .respect and oonsidera- tion. but he owes it to himself.
