The Courier-Journal tells the story
that in Bullitt county, Kentucky, re-
Gently, while farmer was cutting down
large poplar tree, an old fashioned
glass quart bottle was found firmly i'm
bedded in the center of the tree, which
bottle contained "corn JUICE" The
Journal made an effort to trace the bot
tie back to the possession of Daniel
Boone, but before the final trial test of
the spirits could be made, the revenue
officers seized the bottle and contents
and had it condemned as illicit spirits.
1t is even suggested that the farmer will
be prosecuted for carrying on an illicit
distillery.

working since nine o'clock this morning to
reach the victims of the explosion at Eagle
shaft. As soon as the accident was known
volunteers proceed in the direction of the
noise without lamps, and in about three

miner named Benz Davis. Scores of
willing hands Immediately proceeded to re-
pair the brattice board partition, used to keep
fresh air from rushing into the worked out
chambers, so that it will enter only to those
where men are working. At about three
O'Clock the body of Evean E. Jones was found
and brought up. During the afternoon the
dead bodies of Thomas Layshon, James Nor
gan and David Harris were found and brought
up. On entering the chamber iAwhich the
explosion occurred, a fall of rock was first
found which lay partly upon the car, COM
pletely blocking up on one side, and leaving
space on the other just sufficient for man
to force himself through. Some distance
further in there was another fall, which COM
pletely filled the passage, and it is believed
that the men are walled so completely that it
will take hours of the most persistent labor
to reach them. Volunteers are now at work
endeavoring to get around this fallen rock,
so that they can reach the entombed miners,
but the density of the black damp prevents
them from prosecuting their work with full
effect. Many are continually being brought
up in an exhausted condition, but their places
are Immediately supplied by other volunteers,
and so the work goes on unremittingly.
Outside, the scene is heartrending in the en-
treme. Thousands of sympathising citizens,
miners and others, are present, rendering
all the assistance that is possible under the
circumstance. Women and children are
weeping and wringing their hands and mourn
ing aloud for the loved and lost, and waiting
in anxious, HOPELESS expectation for each new
report from the poisonous pit. The women
are everywhere doing what they can to min
lister to the wants of the exhausted volun-
teers as they are borne like helpless children
back from the mouth of the pit. Great
caldrons Of steaming coffee are ready, and
all known restoratives are at hand. Wo-
mems hearts and women's hands are the first
in the work where brave men falter and turn
pale. They neither shrink nor turn away
from their ministering mission. Sad hearts
are every where tonight, some in sympathy
with bereaved friends, and in mourning for
their dead. This mine has been nearly ex-
hausted, and was known to be filed with
black damp, and yet was considered safe, and
has been constantly worked since the eonclu-
sion of the strike, although not to its full ca
pacity. 1t is owned byJ. Schooley of Wyo-

Harrisburg, Pa, l6. Auditor General
Hartrauft arrived last evening. The report
and vouchers of Evans were taken up by him
and Mackey and considered at once. They
both agreed that Evans had no authority to
withhold his commission or any moneys OF
the State on account of commissioners, and
they cannot entertain the question of set
Element with Evans till he pays all moneys he
has collected into the treasury. Until then
he must be considered as in default, and a
written notice was served on him by Hart
rauft and Mackey last night. When all the
money is paid into the treasury they will
then audit and pay his commissions as the
law authorizes.
