The Young Men's Democratic club, of Minneapolis, which has been quiet since the close of the last campaign, renewed rt= activity last evening at a meeting held In the Kasota block. The meet ing was well attended, when It is con sidered that there is a lack of political issues at present. The principal discussion of the even ing was pertaining to the position of the club on public questions. The fol lowing committee was appointed to prepare an address setting forth the position of the club: H. A. Lund, Lee Coombs, William H. Daniels. Grant Ptringham, R. D. Eastman. William Baldwin. This address will deal with the following topics: Tariff, currency., foreign relations, government by in junction, income tax. The address will also contain a general invitation to young men to become members of the club. Lee Coombs and William Bald win were appointed as a committee to secure permanent quarters for the club. The meeting was presided over by Wil liam Baldwin, while Ralph Eddy acted as secretary. The next meeting will be held Tuesday evening, Aug. 17. ELECTRICITY ON A TEAR, Laborers In n Sewer Trench Have Narrow Escape. The members of a sewer gang work- Ing in a trench on Tenth avenue south, between Sixth and Seventh streets, had a narrow escape from death or ser ious Injury yesterday noon The trench is being excavated In the middle of the street, and when the work was com menced the removal of the tracks of the Bloomington avenue line to one side was necessitated. Several trolley poles wtre also tempo rar ly removed, and thi3 left the wire hanging for some distance with very frail support. * The men had scarcely clambered out of the ditch when the noon hour whist les blew, when, without a moment's warning, the big power wire snapped and the ends after sputtering and curl ing in mid air for a while finally drop ped into the trench. If the accident had happened a few moments before, loss of life would certainly have re sulted, as the men would have been powerless to escape from contact with the wire and its deadly current. One end of the wire got tangled up •with the post of a gas lamp, and in a short time the electric current had melted the pipe and ignited the gas which blazed high in the air and con tinued to make things warm in the neighborhood until the main was final ly shut off. The planks along the sides of the ditch were also fired. It was not until several hours after ward when the street railway com pany had fixed up the wire and all scource of danger had been removed, that the laborers could be induced to go back to work. •TOXKA TKXMS TOIRXEY.

THE SAINT PAUI, GLOBE: FRIDAY, AUGUST 6, 1897. TWO JIVES GIiOSED VICTORY OP THE STltlivllls AT 11 It T 1.10 CRKEK IS ALMOST COMPLETE. FEWER MEN IN ONE CAMP. THE NUMBER AT PLUM CREEK RE DUCED TO ONLY THRESH HUNDRED. WEARING TIMES FOR DEPUTIES. i Surprise I'romlned the Men urn Yet Hum Fulled to Put In Any A i >|»<-« r sniff. PITTSBURG, Pa., Aug. s.— Out of the 2,000 strikers who camped at Turtle Creek last Saturday, barely 300 now re main at Camp Determination. In addi tion to the large number of men who were turned out of camp and cut off' from the free lunch distribution yester day, many were drafted to Plum Creek, where the great struggle for supremacy between the strikers and the New York & Cleveland Gas Coal company will be carried on. At Turtle and Sandy Creeks the strikers have practically won. Turtle Creek mine, known as No. 4, is closed down as tight as the strikers can ever hope to close it by their present peace ful means of agitation. It is true that a few men are still at work in the pit, but they are not pulling out any coal. The same holds good at Sandy Creek. Reports from Plum Creek are conflict ing. Supt. De Armitt claims that 255 men are still working, while the strikers say they counted but thirty going into the pit this morning. The deputies at Plum Creek are hav ing a hard time, many are complain ing- and a number have resigned. There is no such thing as uninterrupted rest for the deputies, and they are under a constant strain. All the mines are connected by private telegraph and telephone wires and every stranger or body of strangers moving along- the highways is immediately reported to the nearest office by scouts and, when the foremen or managers of the pits get notice at the poin:s upon which any march thus reported seems to be directed, there is a stir among the deputies. As these marches are mat ters of almo.~t daily occurrence day and night in all directions, the deputies are in a state of apprehension and activity. The feeding and lodging facilities aie limited and are not ade quate to the demands made upon them. Early th s morning Superintendent Samuel De Armitt had a brush with the marchers. They were on the march and as he approached they opened ranks for him to pass through. When they neared the end of tre read lead ing into the Muiraysville road, he stopped them, saying the road was the private property of the New York & Cleveland Gas Coal company. The men held a consultation and concluded to march on which they did. De Ar mitt marched with them, threatening them with arrest, but no arrests were made. It tvcame rumored about among the campers today that President De Ar mitt had made arrangements to bring three hundred colored men to the mines from Virginia and that they would be here by Saturday. The officials of the company, when seen, denied the rumor, and said that nothing of the kind was contemplated. A large mass meeting of the miners of the Monongahela valley was held at Roscoe this afternoon to devise means for carrying on the strike and to induce the few men at the mines at Elizabeth, Bunola and Webster to come out. It was decided to organize a marching party, and this will be done in a few days. The miners' families along the Monongahela valley are re ported to be wanting the necessities of life. Destitution is prevalent at every mining hamlet and hundreds of families have not had enough to eat for several days. At Monongahela City a soup house has been started and a committee appointed to solicit provisions. The day closed in this city by a meeting on Duquesne wharf, where a crowd of from 8,000 to 10,000 people assembled to hear Eugene V. Debs, Mrs. Jones and several local speaker.-; make addresses. The speakers were given a hearty reception and the sen timents expressed were loudly cheered, especially when allusions were made to the unrighteousness of the suppres sion of free speech and lawful assem blage. Each orator said the time had arrived to call a halt on injunctions, and declared the struggle of the min ers would be conducted peaceably and lawfully, as heretofore, in spite of any thing any man could say. It was learned positively tonight that Gov. Hastings has had men in the Turtle Creek region for two weeks past to keep him posted on the condi tion of the strike. Large delegations of miners are ex pected at Turtle Creek during tonight and tomorrow for the meeting tomor row evening which is to be addressed by Eugene V. Debs. Strike leaders say the attendance will be as larg as at the McCrea meeting last Mon day. The surprise predicted this after noon has not yet been sprung on tho miners. It is not known whether the intention is to import colored miners from Virginia or an attempt on the part of the company to prevent the miners from meeting or marching. Supt. De Armltt intimated today that the company would try to have a stop put to this practice, and that they would bring the matter to the atten tion of the authorities. Justifiable Phrase.

To Gather Wnter Where Rain Sel- President Ripley, of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad has let a contract for the construction of two big dams of masonry in the Arizona desert, a region which is visited by rains but once a year. The dams will be at the mouths of two canons or gorges, twelve or eighteen miles dis tant from the railroad; one of them the gorge in which the cliff dwellers of a prehistoric age lived. One of the canons is about 600 feet wide at its mouth and the other about 300, but the walls of the latter are more precipitous — they are almost perpendicular — the dtolin-e from the mountain is not so sharp, and consequently it will hold nearly if not quite as much water. Eacn of these dams will hold 50,000,000 gal lons of water — enough- for the com pany's use along the Arizona division for eighteen months, including lasses by evaporation and re?page. The dams will be forty feet high, constructed of sandstone quarried near by and laid in Portland cement. The outer face of the masonry will be in the form of the letter S, thus con forming to the natural fall of water from such a height and avoiding the wear and tear of suddin precipitation. Between the two dams of masonry, which will be a long distance apart, will be constructed a smaller dam of iron. The cost of this dam will be much less in proportion than the stone reser voirs, but it will not last nearly so long, and it is to be put in as a com parative experiment. The stone res ervoirs will cost about $200,000. The interest on this sum is about 33 1-3 per cent of the present cost of hauling the water to the tanks which they will sup ply. The water will be piped from the reservoirs to the tanks on the line of the road. The enterprise has led to anotheT experiment, which may result in a discovery of even greater value. In the valleys and. on the mountain sides where the darns are to be con structed are deposits of volcanic cin ders, similar in color and apparently in ingredients to h>e lavr> finders from Mount Vesu". lus, fiom which w te minu. ff-clured the cement in wrMch was Said the mi son y of the Col scum, ague lucts, and viaducts of Rome, which have withstood the ravages of time for more than 2,000 years. Twenty barrels of the Aiizona cinders have been sent to Denmark, where the best Portland cement in the world is made. This lot will be tried in the man ufacture of cement and if it should prove valuable works will be establish ed in Arizona. Chemists of the company will also experiment with ten barrels of the cin ders at Topeka. A heavy portion of the expense, on account of long trans portation by sea and- rail, of the con struction of the stone reservoirs in Arl : zona will be the Poitlathd e'ement, wh cri goes from Belgium by sea to Galves ton, and thence by rail to the place of use. If equally good cement can be manufactured on the ground the ex pense of construction will 1 foe cheapened 50 per cent or more. — San Francisco Chronicle. , { . As They Do In tacky.

HUGGED BY A LION. ThrllHiiK Adventure of a Western Man While on n Cumningr Tour. C. B. Bates, a rancher living at La manda Park, east of Pasadena, fell into the embrace of a big mountain lion last Wednesday morning in Milla.rd's canyon, fays a Los Angeles special to the San Francisco Examiner. The two had a lively catch-at-catch-can contest for a few moments, in which the lion scored all the points and finally es caped, much to Bates's satisfaction. First Cowboy— Jim Spruill was thrown from his horse yesterday. Second Cowboy— Was he hurt muc h? First Cowboy— Don't you know he hasn't lit yet? Bates had been on a camping trip up the canyon and had decided to re turn. He rose at daylight, rolled up his blankets and coffee pot and start ed down the trail. To save time he made a short cut across a spur of the hills and reached the crest safely, but, in descending, his roll of blankets caught on the jagged edge of a rock, threw him off his feet and down he rolled. The ground was soft, and roll ing down the steep incline was more alarming than dangerous. As he reached the bottom of the canyon on his lnvolui tary journey he bounced into a heap of brush and land ed flat and fair on something soft and warm that gave out a heart-chilling shriek, to which Bates responded in an excellent imitation of a cry from a man all but scared to death. In a second he felt four great claw-armed paws encircle him, glaring eyes gazed into his and lon-g white teeth sank into his left arm. He had fallen, face to face, on a California lion, which he says look to be about twenty feet long, but which was probably about five. It was big enough, though. Bates had no weapon, was ineum- bered with the roll of blankets on his back, and all he could do was to strike out with his fists and feet. The lion was unquestionably as badly frighten ed as he or would have killed him by clawing him to shreds. After the first terrific impact each tried to get away from the other, and after a minute's fight the big animal broke away, its hair standing on end and its tail the size of a barrel. Bates bound up his wound as best he could and made hi 3 way out of the mountains, and came to this city to ascertain if there was danger of blood poisoning. The doctors reassured him on this point. His wounds are pain ful but not dangerous. His legs were clawed and his left arm severely lacerated.
