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.

academy at Annapolis with the high
honors in 1882.
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.

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

shoulder between the swiftly revolving
wheels. 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.

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. It is understood that a
constitution and provisory government
will shortly be promulgated.
The Greek corvette Miaulis has arrived
at Heraklion.
It is asserted that M. Dimitroff, Bul
garian diplomatic agent, has been en
trusted with the specific mission to ne

and Greece for combined action in Macedonia.
A Cure fur Lame Hack.
"My daughter, when recovering from
an attack of fever, was a great sufferer
from pain in the back and hips," writeB
Louden Grover, of Sardis, jKy. "After
using quite a number of remedies with
out any benefit she tried one bottle of
Chamberlain's Pain Balm, and it has
given entire relief." Chamberlain's

matism. Sold by Blakeley & Houghton,
