The errible Mine Calamity.
los BODIES RECOVERED.


Full particulars of the terrible Gala m
ity at Scranton, Penn, has been receiv.
ed together with the names Of the un-
fortunate men who lost their lives in
the mine. After giving the names of
1O8 whose bodies were brought out
from the mine, two more were added to
the fearful! list on Monday, 6th, who at
tempted TO enter it in order to rescue
their brother miners.
The figures 20l, sent as the number
In the mine, were on the authority of
Mr.. Lee. the out side foreman at Aven-
dale, who should have been the best au
thorty. Various calculations have
made the number from 13S to 100. 1t
is certain, however, that 1OS is the to-
tai number. The explorations have
been very thorough, and there is no
doubt that all have been found No
body attempts to account for the great
discrepancy between the estimates and
the result.
A Scranton paper says that later ex-
plorations of the mine have developed
sadder phase of the tradegy. Many
chambers have been entered and miners
found in them dead, the breast of the
mine showing that they had been strick-
en- down by the poisonous gas without
warning while they were at work
Roadmen, roofmen, doormen and others
were found dead in different gangways;
showing that the destruction must have
been swift and sudden.
A Scranton dispatch says: There is
but little subsistence of the feeling a
mong the miners concerning the disas
ter, and the new theory developed by
the tcstimoney is discussed with vehe-
mence, and the probability that incendi-
arism will be proved is eagerly watched
for 1t is generally sincerely believed
that the shaft was fired, but no miner is
so unjust now as to charge the crime
upon any nationality, nor is it even sup.
posed that the person committing the
horrible act intended to accomplish the
death Of a single miner, but only to
brighten them and stop the working Of
the mine for an indefinate period.

The Northern Prison.

The Directors of the Northern Indi-
ana Prison held a meeting at the Prison
Thursday afternoon week, and we learn
from Captain I. w. Hart, member Of
the Board, that they found for the first
time that the prison was self sustainin g
and had On the 3lst of August surplus
of S3,644.84. He states that the b ealth
of the convicts is good, that they are
furnished with an abundance of healthy
food, and that the discipline never was
better. At the present time the prison
has three hundred and twenty six in~
mates. That this institution has be-
come self-sustaining will be cheerful
news to the people of Indiana, from the
fact that it will be remembered that
last year the Southern Prison fell short
about 10000, and the Northern Prison
fell short about half that sum. This
healthy financial condition Of the prison
speaks we'll for the directors and those
charged with the management Of this
institution.

WHEELER has built an addition tohis
business place, and has enlarged his
Boot and Shoe room to double its
former capacity to make room for his
spring stock, which is to be by odds,
the largest he has ever had in store.
This is owing to the increased and in
creasing demand at his counter for
Boots and Shoes. His manner of do
ing business gives such general salts
faction hat his trade is looming up
with unusual rapidity. In a few days
he starts East to make his purchases,
and will select his stock in person, of

CorswALD SHEEP.-Messrs. Geo.
A Albright and John Frank, resi-
dents Of Lake township, Stark coun-
ty, returned home a few days ago from
Canada where they purchased and
brought with them a buck and six
ewes of the celebrated Cotswald (En
glish) breed of sheep. They are in
deed fine specimens. The buck weighs
347 pounds-the largest we ever saw.
The ewes weigh from 200 to 225 lbs,
and the wool (combing) grows from
10 to Is inches in a years time
Messrs. Albright and Frank expect
to make a business of importing these
sheep, which will give our farmers a
fine opportunity to improve their
stock ; and for those who have no
sheep, a chance to purchase what we
shouldjudge to be an excellent breed.
Our Lake friends are gentlemen who
can be relied upon, and who will do
che fair thing every time. We wish
them abundant success
