«ma-p‘ His Head 8th by a Saw. HAN? MEN INJURED BY THE GYMTIOXS or A ctncULan SAW. Monatsntmo, March 22.â€"\Ir. Peter!

(.t‘ the saw gave way, owing to the saw " pinching,” and the saw lett. its position and with lightning speed tore its way across the iron table, behind which were Gokey and several others at work. It ran up Gokey's left arm and crossed his' . breast and right shoulder, inflicting H ' , h "l t .t , d , fi terrible gushes in his arm and shoulder. , at at Ce) 6 Gokey may recover, but Ransom Hess, who was handing the wood to Gokey, had his head nearly split in two. It seems that the saw took the course ofa semicircle and thus struck him fair in the face and then, after passing over his head, ploughed a deep furrow down his back. [less is in a critical condition. The gush in his head is so deep that the base of the brain could be seen. Both men have families. The other men had a miraculous escape. The large balance wheel passed over one's shoulders and grazed those of another. 9-0-0â€" ' Greatest Graveyard of the World. More men have died and are buried on the Isthmus of Panama, along the line of the proposed canal than on any equal amount of‘ territory in the world. It was in 1887. the year before the final collapse ol the canal scheme came, that chance took me to “ the Isthmus," as it is more usually described. How many people are buried out in Monkey Hill? Certainly 8,000 or 9,000; prob- ably 12,000 or 15.000, but it’s all-a matter of guess-work as to the exact number. But: the ground about As pinu'all only holds a small percentage ol'the tncn who have died on the isth- mus. The city of Panama, ot' cont-5s, lays claim to the largest number of bur- ials, but I can say without exaggeration that the entire line of the railroad and canalf‘rom the Atlantic to the Pacific is a continuous graveyard. At Mate- ehiu alone over 3,500 Chinamen met their death in one day. That was j. twenty-five or thirty years ago, While the Pentium railroad was being built, and long before work on the canal was begun. Ten thousand Chinnmcu had been brought from China to work on the canal. Over one~halfof them were camped at what is now Matochin. Small- pox broke out among them, and the mortality became so great that the Chi- namen, always easily excited, became panic stricken, and, preferring to die by drowning, ran down the steep sides of thehills near their camp and threw themselves into the C mgres River. As I have said, 3,500 of them drowned. It was because of this fact that. the name of the camp was changed to Munr- techino, muerte meaning, “ dead ” in Spanish, and chino signifying China- RQ‘ Flour and feed‘ kept constantly on hand. , JOSEPH.
