A Terrible Accident I'm a Coal
Mine.

The Newton Mass Journal publishes
the following letter containing, a full &C
count Of. a recent coal mine accident which
occurred within IS miles of the city of
Frieberg, in Saxony The writer. says :go9
San unusual ana terrible accidental

upon the managers sof the mine deserves

in the little Saxon village of Lugan. I
have not been able to visit the spot in per-
son, but will give as connected an account
as can from the best sources of imforrna-
ton within my reach. .-s2'-l
"For a considerable time past the shaft
of a coal mine, the tNeue F'undgnube,'
has been considered, by some at least, UNI
safe, but no steps were taken toward re-
pairing 'it.gcA week ago last Monday

of weakness, and wanted to return but
We're not allowed to do so by the captain
of the gang. He did not share their fears
at all but nevertheless ordered three car
penters to go up and make an inspection
OF the suspected spot, and begin any re-
pairs that might be necessary. But il was
too late. Just as the three men reached
the place the shaft tin1bering gave way,
and masses of rock, earth, and timbering
tell laundering into the mine. These three
/ men succeeded with great difficulty In es-

Gaping with their lives. But their COM
rades, more than 100 in number, the above
mentioned captain included were shut oil
at a depth of 1000 feet from all communl-
cation with the surface. Constant efforts
have been fruitless, and there now remains
scarcely any hope that the unfortunate
miners are still alive. By the falling ID OF
the shaft all circulation of air was stopped,
and there was no escape for the poisonous
gases which are so apt to collect in coal
mine The miners we've exposed to tenn
perature of from 80 degrees to 100 degrees
or more, and were very likely suttocated
within the first few hours of the accident.
Hopes were entertained at first of being
able to break through the mass by drop
ping heavy weights upon it from the mouth
of the shalt. The principal break was at
a depth OF $50 feet from the top, and she
broken mass hung in the shaft at "a depth
of 720 feet. Weights were let fall this dis
lance ana gave at first some promise of sue
54e A passage forced through sufficient
to restore circulation of air, and meas
ures were taken to let down provisions for
the men. 1t was impossible for any one
to descend, of course, and other plans were
proposed, but all was of no avail. The
first great breaking in was followed by
Others on the same day and the day after
4 the circulation of air was again stopped.
Boring machines were set in operation,
but as yet with equally unsuccessful re-
suits Forty four of the mem were mar
ried, and leave 1873 children. The super
tendent of the mine was Immediately Ia
ken in charge by the police, partly to pro-
tect him from the fury OFF the populace,
and partly because an, investigation is to
be held, even if it has not already taken
place. lIt seems that the necessary repairs
were neglected FROM want of funds, and
perhaps also because the, superintendent
and gang captain were to receive a small
bonus on each bushel of coal the mine
could be. made to yield above. a certain
quantity, This accident has excited the
livelicst feelings of compassion in the
whole community 1t was not thought
possible that such a thing could happen in
-Saxony, where the mines in general are SO
carefully managed. But in this case there
was but one shaft for ingress and egress,
and it would be impossible to run gal
1ery through from the neighboring mine in
less than fortnight" & ss ~ ri EFT

A Needlessly Dishonest Woman
and a Shreyvd Detective.

Many curious cases of attempts to de-
fraud persons by letter come to the notice
of postoffice detectives, and, strange to
say, a. large part of these dishonest efforts
are made by women. This is no doubt
because women do not know how difficult
it is to swindle In this way, and also because
they do not think there is any, danger of
detection 1 oh L titA} ,FIl3
A sculptor called upon postoffice de-
tcctive one day and showed him letter
which bad evidently been opened at the
end and fastened again with muciIage, as
small corner Of a bill still adhered to the
paper. The letter asserted that the writer
had forwarded ten dollars in it to her friend.
The detective doubted the assertion, and
said he thought she pasted the piece of bill
on the paper herself The sculptor would
not believe this at first, and said there
could be no reason for her resorting to de-
ception.
heappeared that he had chiscled hand
from piece of marble, and presented it to
the woman He did not intend to charge
for it, but as she pressed him to name a
price, he said it was worth ten dollars.
After returning to this city, he received a
letter, and of Course Thought it had been
opened and the money stolen. Not SO
with the detective He told the sculptor
to write to the woman that the letter COM
tanned no money to say nothing about
the piece of bill adhering to- the. paper,
but to say that the flap had not been bro
ken open. - sais i.,a =. sga ss9dt :. ss.a.sl0
The woman wrote back to say that she
had fastened the bill to the paper with
muciIage, and asked him to look at the end
of the envelope and see if it had been cut
open. This reply confirmed the suspicious
OF the detective, and a microscopic exam
ination of the fragment of the bill showed
that it had been torn, from a one dollar
note. In this case the womans dishonesty
proved most unfortunate for hcr.-Me.K

GREAT CONNECTION. AMONG THE Gum
CHEwERs.--In the city of Podunk, Mass,
great excitement exists among the misses,
growing out of some recent developments
made by an ex-employe in a spruce gum
mandatory. Itrseems the man had been
discharged, and to revenge himself he d.
.vulged the process of manufacturing the
guilds which young female America masti-i
cate with such velocity and apparent sat
isfaction. He says the gum Is made of cer-
tain parts of gum arabic, gum tragacanth,
small quantity of resin and fat. The fat
used is not lard, that being too expensive,
but is a substance expressed from the dead
hogs, cats, dogs and other animals found
on the commons of the city. This is not
the worst of it, After the various ingre-
dients are melted together in a huge kettle,
"a certain kind of alkaH is put in for the
purpose of whitening the gum. This
-alkaIit is the same that is used by dyers
with indigo to give deep and permanent
