cy, he saved from his first years wages
seventy dollars. He was then seven
teen years old, healthy, lively looking,
aspiring and ambitious to decone useful
noble, and perhap, great. he had al.
ready learned that money loaned at high
rates of interest WAS oppressive to the
borrower, and reacted on the loaner,
and in the falling of prices of nearly All
articles in the commercial world; that
men sought ju-tltications for their
bankrupcv and delinquentcy in the
fact that they had poid large rates of
interest Feeling, therefore, that a
liberalty. as well as justice, was neces-
sary to every mans dealing with his
fellow men. he loaned his so to an ex

TIE ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION At PHIL
ADELruIA-No HOPES FOR THE RECOVERY
OF MIR. MISUNDERSTANDING PERSONS Be
FORE THE MAYoR.-Phiiudelphid, Scptcm-
Der MIR. James Brooks is still alive,
though there are no hopes Of his recovery.
\ number of men charged with completely
in the attempted assassination Of revenue
officer Brooks were brought before the
Mayor this afternoon. The testimony was
to the following effect
John Stockton, liquor dealer, was heard
three weeks ago to say that lie knew when
and where Brooks would be shot.
Thomas Aiken, directly after the shoot
ing, left two rcvovcrs, directed to Stockton,
III store near by Keenan's, where Brooks
was shot. He was also heard to say he was
glad that Brooks had been shot.
Robert Hamilton, VIGOROUSLY bad char
acter here, was partially identified as the
man who drove the assasins away in n cab,
and was positively identified as having been
seen in that vicinity with a cab shortly be-
fore the shooting. It was also proved that
he had shaved off his moustache since yes
terday morning.
Keenan,, the proprietor of the store where
Brooks was shot, was held on the affidavit
of Brooks himself, the contents Of which
were not divulged. Keenan's son was dis
charged. Ali the rest were held for FUR

were inflicted by his rcputed father, Isham

We are informed by Justice Robinson
that the boy was terribly bruised on that
portion Of his body extending from the
naval and hip to his left shoulder, en-
bracing, of course, the region of the heart.
As the negro who did the whipping sur
rendered himself voluntarily, it may be
that he was drunk when he was making
such murderous use of the strap; or, if
sober, that he had no conception of what
the effect Of the terrible fogging would be.

ANOTHER SENSATION FOR NIAGARA
FITTING Across on WINGs.-The boldest
and most scientific feat yet performed at
niagara is promised before the season closes
by daring fellow who proposes to cross
the river without the employment of any
such safeguard as an undcrshot" veloci
pede, and, in fact, he will even dispense
with the rope. This new miracle, who, we
presume, will claim the distinction of the
''Canadian Sinbad," designs taking an
aerial flight across the chasm on wings ;
and as wild as such an attempt would seem,
we can state as 4 positive fact that appa-
ratus is now being constructed in this city
for that purpose. We are not yet Informed
what sort Of practice the new professor has
been pursuing, or concerning the principle
of his flying appurtcnances, but it would
probably be advisable for him to take a

REBEL ACCOUNTS.

WASHINGTON, September S.-Cubans here
have the following advices to the 10th ulti-
mo from Cuba. \ accommodating force OF
seven hundred, from Puerto Principe, had
been defeated. It is reported that Puerto
Principe has been abandoned, the Span
iards having rctrcatcd to Nueyitas.
Valmaseda's forces moved from Los Tu-
mas and attacked the Cubans who were Cir
culating in that vicinity, under Quesada.
yalmascda commanded, and the Spaniards'
force was composed Of $500 regulars and
| 800 volunteers. The engagement lasted
four hours, and the Spaniards were repulsed
with heavy loss. The Cubans numbered
less than 1000. Valmaseda found refuge
under the Notifications of Los Tunas, which
Quesada, without artillery, was unable tc
attack.
\ fight is reported in Puerto le Grande
in which Spanish force of over 100 was
defeated. 1t is stated that at the first fire
the troops deserted Ell ndSSe to the Cubans
when the officers were captured and pa
rolled by General Jordan.

EFFECT UPON THE PEOPLE OF scRANTo

EFFECT UPON THE PEOPLE OF SCRANTON
AND SURROUNDING CncNTRY-MININ
OPERATIONS GENERALLY SUSPENDED.
Scranton, Pa, September THE I'M
paralleled mining disaster is the subject Of
universal inquiry, thought, and feeling.
While the whole community is thrilled to
the centre with horror, TIC mining popula-
ton, as might be expected, is more deeply
and painfully touched than any other class.
All work is suspended in the mines in this
vicinity, and nearly the whole force Of
miners, in mining suits, have gone to Avon
dale, to remain until their brethren arc
brought out, dead or alive. Special trains
run down from here hourly. No fare is
charged those going to Avondalc. Thou
sands have gone from thi; direction alone,
and the whole country is&r0uscd and flock
ing to the scene of tho 'l;5Qctc,'.
In the fourth, fifth, g. iXth wards of
this city the streets ere tnronged with
women, relatives and friends Of the men in
Avondale pit, eagerly bcSccching every
person arriving from below for information.
Their weeping fills the air. Mining cannot
be resumed at any Of the works Of the Della
ware, Lackawana, and Western Railroad
Companies probably within q week or ut
least until all the funerals o! The Ayondale
dead are over. The fac, long and
severe strike has just ended adds greatly to
the destitution which will follow the Gala
nifty. The widows and orphans will num-
Der not less than six hundred.

THE SHAFT DESCENDED-THE UNFORTUNATE
MEN NOT REACHED-ALL HOPES OF SAVING
THEIR LIVES ABANDONED.
Plymouth, Pa, September Two par
ties of miners descended the shaft this
afternoon. The first was compelled by the
gas to retreat after going twenty-five feet
into the gangway. The damp was two or
three feet deep at the bottom of the mine.
The second party returned safely. They
penetrated the gangway seventyfve feet,
and found the large door wide open. They
then went one hundred feet further in one
OF the passages, and found the small door
closed.
After opening this door to give a circula-
ton of air around the entrance they re-
turned. Had this small door been open
there might be shade of hope, as the gas,
smoke, and fire, would have had free pas
sage around the circuit and out again. AS
it is, the fears are that the smoke has pcne-
| tratcd the inner mine and suffocatcd all the
men. The main doorway leading to the
mine has not yet been reached. \ third
set of men -four in number), went down and
came back in fifteen minutes, two Of them
so overcome with the effects of gas that
they were restored with difficulty.
The gas is coming out Of the outer mine
very fast since the passage way was opened.
It seems idle to peril life By any further
attempt to 60 down as long as the gas is so
strong. No attempt can Of course he made
TO reach the main door or to penetrate the
mine until the outer gangway is cleared OF
gas. 1t is uncertain how long this will
take. There is really no ground for hope
that single life remains of those who
were at work in the mine. Everybody gives
them up, and nothing, probably, remains
to be done but to recover the bottles.
