BRAVE NAVAL OFFICER SUICIDES A IJrnve Minor nt KoHftlnnU, British Co lumbia. Sacrifices Himself to Save II J h Companions. Reno, Nov., Feb. 11. There was a big crowd at the depot to meet Jim Cor bett when he passed through on his way to San Francisco. Governor Sadler, of Nevada, was among those who came down from Carson to take a peek at the world's champion. Just as Boon ue the train stopped the governor clambered aboard and was introduced to Corbett by A". Livingston. "I am pleased to meet you, Mr. Cor bett," said his excellency, making a critical survoy of Corbett's towering figure and broad shoulders. "And I am pleased to meet you," re plied Corbett. "You proved by signing that glove contest measure and giving the people what they wanted that there was no hy pocrisy about you. It needed some gov ernor with the courage of his convic tions to break the ice in matters of this kind. It is to be hoped your example will be followed, and that there will be less hyuocrisy about things of this kind in future." Harry Corbett and others accom panied the governor from Carson, and the champion held a handshaking levee. Outside tlio car.a vast.i.crowd yelled for him to come out and show himself, and in response to the vociferous demands, Jim put in an appearance on the plat form. Of course he had to make a speech. He said : "I am glad to see you, and hope to see you all again on the 17th of March. I am to meet Mr. Fitzsimmons, and I think I will bent him, althqugh, of course, you can't always tell about that thing. I must say that I never felt bet ter in my life. I feel I have plenty of good friends in Nevada." As tho train rolled out there was great cheering for Corbett. A 15UI.I.ET IN HIS ItKAIN. Suicide of dipt, rhllo McGlHlu lit New York. New Yokk, Feb. 11. Captain Philo McGiffen, who commanded the Chinese ironclad Chen Yuen in tho battle of Yalu river in September, 1894, during the China-Japanese war, committed suicide early this morning in a post, graduate hospital to which he was re cently admitted for treatment. He shot himself over the right ear. A nurse found him sitting in'bed, with his back propped up by pillows. Blood was streaming from an ugly wound on the right side of his head. On a little table directly at the head of the bed was one revolver and on the floor pear the ted was another. One chamber of the pietol on tho table bad been discharged. On the table was a note written in lead pencil. The paper appeared to have teen torn from a note book. In sub stance the note said the captain left hie respects to his people and friends, and resretted the act he was about to com-, roit. How he came in possession of the Pistols is not yet known. The captain was taken tothe hospital last month by friends. About tho mid dle of January he became insane, and it was found necessary to have him con fined. He was. taken to a room on the second floor of the building, with a win ow opening on Second avenue. He had mental trouble for months be ore it developed into insauity, and on "is being removed to the hospital he was so violent it was found pecessary to place 1m in a strait-jacket. Dr. Hammond attributed his condition to wounds re ce'ved, ,n the battle on the Yalu river. lhll Norton McGiflen, who com manded the Chinece jronclad'Chen Yuen the battle 0f Yalu river, was boun in Wellington, Pa., jn 1802.

The personal bravery of Captain Mc Giffen won admiration long before the battle of Yalu river. He was thrown by accident of travel into the midst of the great railroad strike in Pittsburg, in 1887, and tendered his services to the city. They were accepted, and he dis tinguished himself by personal bravery, runningaii engine single-handed through a mob of strikers to the rescue of rail roaders imprisoned in the roundhouse. He was given a gold medal and a vote of thanks by the city council. When a naval cadet in Annapolis, Mc Giffen received the thanks of the secre tary of the navy for rescuing two chil dren from a burning building. Two years later NcGiffen was complimented in a general order from the secretary of the navy for an act of personal bravery for going aloft to secure a spar on the Constitution during a hurricane, when the sailors would not venture into the rigging. After graduating near the head of his class, McGiffen was honorably dis charged in 1884, owing to a reduction in the number of midshipmen. He en tered the services oi China during the Franco-Chinese war, and was distin guished for gallantry ; was sent to Eng land to superintend the construction of ironclads and at the outbreak of hostili ties with Japan, was put in command of a Chineso squadron. HKUOIC SIS KD OP A MI.VEK. Sacrifices Hiinnolf to Save Ills Two Uumpunlous. Spokane. Feb. 11. A rare act of hero ism, such ue deserves to be recorded in history and song, was performed at Rossland, B. C, today, which saved the lives of two miners and proved plain Jim Hemsworth to be one of nature's noblemen. Jem Smith and Frank Conson were working at the bottom of a narrow shaft of the Young America mine, at a depth of nearly 150 feet, engaged in loading ore into au iron-bound bucket, while Jim Hemsworth's duty consisted in hauling the bucket to the surface by mean's of a windlass. The heavy bucket, tilled with ore, had almost reached the top of the shaft when the iron crank of tbef wind lass snapped in two like a bit of pine, hurling Hemsworth to the ground. Springing to his feet half dazed by the blow, Hemsworth saw the windlass whirring around at a frightful rate of speed as the loaded bucket shot down the shaft upon the men below. He bad not a second to lose. There was just one chance, to save them, and he took that cbance. Jumping forward, lie tnrew nis bbdy upon the cogs of the whirring windlass, thrusting his arms and Mr. Grocer; . there are thousands of people who want good tea (many don't drink tea npw, because it has.been either costly or bad ) and here is Schilling's Best good tea at a fair price.

Their iron jaws crunched and tore the' flash, crushed nerves, bone and sinews, tore, ghastly wounds from finger tip to. shoulder, but the windlass stood still. With an awful jerk the bucket stopped just above the heads of the two men far down the shaft. Palo, as death, with tho blood flowing in streams and suffering intense agony, Hemsworth never uttered aery nor even a sound, ns the jaws of the wheel pin ioned him fast as in a vice. Superin tendent Shields, who witnessed the acci dent from a short distance away, rushed to Hemsworth's aid and blocked the ma chinery. As Hemsworth staggered back and was about to fall, Shields caught him in his arms, at the same time exclaiming: "My God, Jim! This is awful!" "Oh, what's the difference?" replied the plucky fellow, "so long as I saved fche boys?" His wounds were dressed and the in jured man made as comfortable as could be under the circumstances. The at tending physicians are at this time un able to state how eerious Hemsworth's injuries are likely to result, but unless he is hurt internally they hope to save his life. His arm, however, in all likeli hood will have to be amputated at the shoulder. I'OrULACK WENT WILD. With Enthusiasm lit Departure Greek Fleet. Athens, Feb. 11. The dispatch of the torpedo flotilla commanded by. Prince George, tor the island of Crete, has caus ed the greatest enthusiasm omong the populace, especially as it is stated the prince has orders to prevent the land ing of Turkish troops on that islard. The king urged the dispatch of the flo tilla, and as soon aB he obtained the con sent of Premier Delyannis he personally issued the orders, in order to give ad ditional effect to the proposal. When Prince George embarked, a sa lute of 300 shots were fired by the crowd on shore. The people assembled at midnight at the palace and gave their majesties an ovation. Students paraded the streets, singing patriotic songs, cheering for the king and the union of Crete and Greece. The fighting at Kissamo, where the Mohamcduu inhabitants were besieged in their houses for several duys, was desperate. Thirty Christians and 100 Mohamedans were killed. Fighting is reported as still proceeding about the convent Chrisopygy, near Cauea. The insurgent leaders have assembled for conference.
