Masonry,\ngranite blocks and bricks to the\nheight of 50 feet fell like a child's toy\nhouse of blocks and eight millions of\ngallons of water loosened from bondage\ndeluged the streets, and in it ten foot\ntidal wave carried death uud destruction through the surrounding\nneighborhood. It is not kuowu bow-\nmany were killed and injured but the\nlist will be a long one. Already tbe\nbodies of Andrew Weudt. a working\nman Pius Brum and an engineer in\nau adjacent factory, huve been recovered. About twenty-five were injured\nmore or less severely or almost\ndrowned. All of the most severely\ninjured were taken to Bollevne hospital by n number of ambulances that\noome to the scene of the disaster in\nanswer to a general call. James O'Connor, foreman in Fuldner's factory ad\njoining, aud believed to have been in\nthe basement with I Engineer Brum\nwho was killed, is missing. Many\npeoplo were caught in the streets by\nthe rushing waters aud were burled\nhither and thither reeeiviug injuries\nof various kinds.\nW. J. Logan, of the Logan Iron\nWorks of Greens Point, Long Island,\nthe contractor who was building tho\ntank, arrivod^ou the scene within a\nfew minutos after the collapse and was\nat once placed under arrest Win. H.\nBradley, tho chief engineer of the\nConsolidated Gas Company, said to be\njointly responsible for the work with\nContractor Logan, was also placed miliar arrest. To make tbe scene more\nterrible, the rushing waters tore up\nf;as mains and destroyed electric\nights, causing almost complete darkness. This latter was partially remedied, but the gas snpply below Grand\nStreet was almost totally shut off for\nthe night.\nThe plant of the Consolidated Gas\nCompany occupies several blocks in\nthe neighborhood of Avenue \"A.\"\nBeginning at 20th Street, is the live\nstory brick factory of Henry Fonld-\nner, manufacturer of extension tables.\nThe other half of the block is ooeupl ied\nby five-story tenement*, the property\nof the Gas Company and largely tenanted by its employes. Immediately\nback of the factory and tenements was\nthe great steol tank, 178 feot iu diameter nnd 160 feet high. Rising out of\nthe ground aud to the height of fifty\nfeet wos built a groat circular wall of\ngranite aud bricks many feet in thickness. This was filled with 8,000,000\ngallons of water. The tank was supported by eight steel uprights, 212 feet\nhigh. Tho water in the pit fitting\nagainst the tank made it \"gus tight. \"\nA gang of men wero at work under a\nforeman filling the pit with water\nto mnke tho first water test. The\ngreat tank with a giiB capacity of II, -\n(ilii). 001'. cubic feet and onstiug $800,000\nseemed to withstand the test well.\nThe representatives of the company and\nthe foreman iu churge were congratulating themselves upon the success of\nthe work. The luborers were even beginning to gather up their tools to\nknock off. There were many people\non the streets aud crowded street cars\nwere coming and going. Fifty men or\nmore in the factory ndjoining were\nfinishing up their tasks. Then suddenly und without a moment's warning came an awful crash. The men\nbelow had scarcely time to fly from\nbeneath tho falling walls ere they\nwere picked up by the maBS of rolling\nwaters and hurled hundreds of feet\naway. Into tho basements, the first and\nsecond floors of factories and tenements\nrushed the angry floods, and with\nthem went death and destruction.\nWorkmen were, shot out of the factory windows and carried a block or\nmore as if mere straws on the crest of\nthe flood. Women were washed out\nof the flats from the first floors and\nalmost drowned. Mary O'Connell\naud her four-year-old sister, Catherine,\nwere seated at the front window on\nthe second floor of No. 835 Avenue\n\"A.\" Before they could turn to flee\na rush of water struck them carrying\nthem both through the door and half\na block down the street. Both were\nterriblv injured, the little one perhaps-\nfatllly.\" Henry Fulduer was taken\nup bodily und carried almost to 21st\nStreet. His son was also carried out\nby the waters but was caught in the\ndebris and but for the timely arrival\nof some wOrkmeu with axes ho would\n/ have been drowned. Andrew Wendt,\none of the killed, was near the base cf\nthe tank when it collapsed. He was\noaught by the rushing waters and\nborne un almost incredible distance.\nHis mangled and almost naked body,\nwas found against an elevated railroad\n1 illar at 21st streot and First Avenue,\nmore than a block away.\nHOT FIGHT IN SIGHT.\nPrinters and Machinists Have a Dispute\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDAmerican Federation of Labor.\nKansas City, Mo..

The information is\nsworn to by Joseph Hugh McLaughlin, the manager of the saving's bank,\nand the action is taken as tbe result of\nthe visit from Ottawa of the Inspector,\nMr. Fraser. Finlayson has been in\nthe employ of the Department for several years, is of good family and popular about town. He was the principal\nsupport of his mother and several\nbrothers. His salary was only $44 a\nmonth though he had repeatedly asked\nfor an advance. Inspector Fraser arrived in the city on Sunday night and\nat once set to work to ferret out tbe\ncause of the leakages in the savings\nbank. With such expedition was his\nwork conducted that before 11 o'olock\non Monday morning he had collected\nsufficient evidence to satisfy him who\nwas responsible for the discrepancies\nalluded to. He found that in the confusion attending the transfer of the\nsavings bank from the old building to\ntbe new, unusual faoility had been\nafforded for tampering with the deposits. Tha presence of both McLaughlin and Mr. McConnan, was often required down stairs, and the accused\nwas loft alone iu tho bank.

The average stranger who\nconies here from the East, has heard\nof Nelson frequently as the commercial,\njudicial, and railroad centre of the\nKootenayB, but he usually remarks\nwith surprise after a few day's sojourn \"I never knew that you had\nany mines in Nelson.\" A partial explanation of this state of affairs is\nthat the Nelson Mining Division, is\nonly beginning to become fashiouable\nas a field for investment; but that does\nnot account for the faot tbat many of\nthe residents themselves do not leem to\nrealise the mineral wealth of the conn\ntry round Nelsou, and more especially\nof the districts tributary to this town.\nLet us glnuco at the miues which are\ndependent on Nelson as their base of\nsupplies. First and foremost there are\nthe Hall Mines on Toad Mountain,\n\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDwhich, besides having paid dividends\nto the extent of fifteen per cent within\nthe last eighteen months, have built\nnnd equipped the finest aud most complete smelter in Canada entirely'out of\nthe profits of the mine. This company\nhas on its pay roll over three hundred men. Ou Toad Mountain too the\nLast Chance is being vigorously developed by a strong company, while\nthore are also promising prospects innumerable which only need capital to\nmake them miues. On Morning Mountain, which is really a part of Toad\nMountain, we find the Athabasca,\nprovided with the best machinery, and\nwhose stamp mill is crushing rich\nore night and day. Close to the^tha-\nbasca is the Exchequer and adjoining\nthe Exchequer, the California group.\nBoth of these properties are free milling, and aro being aotively worked\nwitb the best results.\nA few miles down the river is found\ntbe rich district around Eagle Creek\nand Forty Nine Creek, where the Nel-\nson-Foorman and the Granite and\nRoyal Canadian mines are located,\nand also the Toronto group, which is\nunder bond to a strong English company, and partially developed claims\ntoo numerous to mention. Another\ndividend payer nnd also a free milling\nproperty, is tho Fern mine on Hall\nSiding, less than ten miles from Nelson. The Fern also possesses a stamp\nmill ami tramway of its own.\nThe mining districts down the lino\nof the Nolson & Fort Sheppard Railway may also bo oonildered tributary\nto Nolson, as all the unpplioi for tho\nmines are bought here. This rich district includes such mines as the Sec\nond Roliet und the Arlington, uear\nErie, the Salmo Consolidated near\nSaline, tho l'orto Rico near 1'orto Kico\nBiding,and last but not least tho Ymir,\nthe Dundee, and llio Tamarac uear\nYmir. This does not protend to be a\ncomplete list, but is representative of\nthose properties which may be called\nmines.\nThere aro numerous other properties\ndependent on Nelson, which cannot\nbe referred to hero, though the Mollie\nGibson on Kokanee Creek, aud the\nGolden Wedge on Six Mile Creek,\nmust not be omitted; still enough\nhas been said to demonstrate how,\napart from her other ndvautages, the\nprosperity and wealth of Nelson is\nenhanced by the surrounding mines.\nWere the facts about tho country really\nknown to the investing public, there is\nno doubt but that Nelson would be\nnow enjoying the doubtful blessings\nof a boom.\nIn Bagot, Quebec, Brodeur will be I\nthe Conservative nnd Marcelle the Liberal candidate. Dupout, the late Conservative member, was elected by acclamation in 1898 and died this year.\nIn Montmagny two Liberals will content\nthe seat, Martinenu and Blouin. Cho-\nquette, Liberal, was elected in this!\nconstituency 181)0 by 342 majoiity and\nhas recently been elevated to the\nbench. In North Simcoe, Ont., Dal-\nton McCarthy's old constituency,\nLeighton McCarthy, the Independent\nnephew of the late Independent lender,\nill contest the riding with Martin, Liberal. At the last eloctiou Dnl-\nton McCarthy was elected by 1,10?\nmajority. Iu West Lumbton there\nwill be a straight party fight between\nFarrell, Conservative, and Johnson.\nLiberal. The vacancy in this constituency was caused by the elevation to\ntbe bench of James Lister, who was\nelected in 1896 by 1,158 majority. In\nEast Prince, P. E. I., Lefurgey, Conservative, and Bell, Liberal, will fight\nit out. Yeo, who was elected in the\nLiberal interests iu 1896 by 117 ma-\njority.is now a Senator. The Conservatives have been making n determined\neffort to capture West Lambton, and\nthe fight there has been waged fiercely.\nIn Ontario there will also Bb au\nelection today for the Provincial legislature. Watson, the Liberal who\nwas elected in East Northumberland at\nthe last Provincial eiction was unseated but goes up for election in the Liberal interest again today. He will be\nopposed by Dr. Willoughby, whom he\ndefeated, aud who has represented East\nNorthumberland in the Ontario house\nfor several legislatures. Douglas' majority at the last election was 179.\n**$\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD$\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\nThe Time\nFor\nSelecting\nIt is hard for the politicians\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDthe\nprofessionals, that is\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDto be honest\nwith each other. The Toronto Globe\nsays: \"Mr. Fosier goes about the\ncountry saying that the reduction in\nthe tariff is only ono per cent. Now,\nthe reduction of the tariff on British\ngoods is 25 per cent. There is no doubt\nof that; it is down in the statute book\niu black and white. If, therfore, Mr.\nFoster is right, the reductiou of the\ntariff on British goods is 35 times ai\ngreat ns the general reduction.\" Mr.\nFoster may be wrong, but the Globe\ncertainly is. Our tariff will average,\nsay, 30 por cent. Mr. Foster says it\nhas been reduced ono point, or to 29\nper cent. What the Globo says in\nthe words quoted is that the duty on\nRritish goods has been reduced 25\npoints, or to five per cent\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\"twenty-\nfive times as great as tbe general reduction,\" is it) manner of putting\nit. This is entirely wrong. The reduction on British goods is one-quarter of tho duty, or seven and ono-half\nper cent on au average of a 30\nper cent duty. It costs just ai little\nto be honest, and pays better in the\nend.\nThe citizens of Nelson who are interested in the curfew by-law and\ntbe prospect of its working out successfully will not be cheered by the testimony of Mr. J. J. Kelso, superintendent of the Children's Aid Societies in\nOntario. Mr. Kelso has devoted years\nto the study of children nnd the best\nmanner in which to handle them, and\nwhat he says along tbat line cannot\nfail to carry weight. In an interview\nin the Ottawa Free Press Mr. Kelso\nstated that his observations had shown\nthat of the forty towns in Ontario that\nhad adopted the curfew by-law every\noue had turned out to be a failure.\nThe theory, he said, was all right,\nbut iu practice tho by-law never failed\nto be a failure. Mr. Kelso thinks the\nreform aimed at can best be handled\nby Children's Aid Societies, which\nhave been very successful in Ontario.\nEDITORIAL COMMENT.\n(Cascade Record)\nTho Nelson Daily Miner, now only\ntwo weeks under tho new manager,\nMr. Beaton, la showing uniiii.-takablo\nsigns of Improvement, Already it has\nleon decided to mako it a 7-columii\npaper in tho near future, the same size\nas the Rossland Miner.

It will\ntake some, days yet to prepare tho\nrooms for tbe oponing.\nMr. Beer reported that tbo papers\nond periodical committoe had'ordered\nthe list of papers and periodicals that\nhad been decided on and they would\nbe received shortly. This led up to\na discussion as tn tho opening dato\nnnd it was decided to open on Decern -\nbor 24 when tbe rooms and library\nwill bo in reudiiioss. The list of papers add periodicals ordered was then\nread. It is an oxoollont list\nand as tho reading room will he freo\nto the public it should be tho popular\nresort for those anxious to keep up\nwith current literature.\nThe librarian will bo engaged from\nWednesday 21st inst in order to get\neverything in roadinoss for the opening.

Tho heavy expenses\nincidental to preparing everything\nfor the opening make it necessary to\ncollect all available rovenuo at onco.\nWhile on the question of revenue tho\nIndies and goutlemeii present dismissed informally tbe question of holding some fandango whereby funds\ncould be raised. The idea of a hull\nwas received favorably . and while\nnothing deflnito was decided it is probable thut this winter Nelson society\nwill have an opportunity to oiijoy itself and at tho. same time assist a\nworthy cause.\nAs the Christmas season with its attendant press \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDof domestic duties, is\nnear at hand uo date was fixed for\nthe next meeting and an adjournment\nwas made until tbo call of. tho chair.\nCONFESSIONS OF\nA TENDERFOOT.\nmy fnend wus not dis-\nposad to eulightcu me, for I had sue\nceeded in hiding my ignorance.

South of Nelson\nnear tho Hall Mines wagon road,\nthere are quite a number of claims\nwhich are being actively worked by\ntho owners.\nA telegram was received vesterduy\nby the Registrar stating that there\nwill he a sitting of the Supremo Court\nat Nelson on February li, and at\nRossland on February lii.

Mines aud mining to the\naverage Eastern newspaper man constitute a mystery which to unravel\nrequires many -months of teaching aud\nexperience. The technical terms used\nby the mining man are Greek to the\nEasterner\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDproviding of course he does\nuot include Greek iu bis vocabulary.\nTo tbe tenderfoot they are like the\nslang, of tbo Bowery tough to the\nPhiladelphia Quaker.
