AN AWFUL EXPERIENCES.
THRILLING ADVENTURE or MISS FLOYD
JONES OF NEW YORK IN COAL NINE.

If it were possible to turn gray Ct
terror the hair of Miss Floyd Jones, OF
New York, should be as white as snow
in consequence of an awful adventure
which she passed through at the Briggs
colliery OF the Lackawanna Coal and
iron company, Scranton Pa. She was
visiting the family of w. W. Scranton,
general manager OF the iron company,
and expressed desire 10 visit the mine
for the purpose OF witnessing the inter
estiug and perilous process OF mining
and preparing anthracite for use. Ac-
cordngly Mr.. Scranton, acting as her
escort, took along Mine Superintendent
Reese G. Brooks as an extra precautlon
against veuturing into danger. After
inspecting the mine and seeing the raeu
at work the trio, guided by their flick
ering lamps, returned along the subter-
ranean halls to the foot Of the shaft, for
the purpose of making the ascension.
Superintendent Brooks signalcd to the
engineer overhead, Alber, Roskelly aud
told him the party wanted to be aolsted
directly to the tower OF the breaker,
which rises $50 feet from the mouth Of
the shaft and is 40 feet from the Dot
tom, where they were standing at the
time. The object OF ascending to the
tower was TO make an examination Ct
the screen-roomS, rollers and other de-
partments where the work Of breaking
and cleaning coal was gong on. The
engineer answered down through the
tube ''all right" and the trio taking
their places on the platform OF the car
riagc, were hoisted swiftly up out OF The
mine into the shaft OF the tower.
Upon the carriage approaching the
sheayewheel at the top, Engineer Ros-
kelly lost control OF his engine and the
party was hurled against the heavy tim
jers of the roof, swapping the wire.
hosting rope asunder with the visitors
over an abyss 40 feet deep. 1t was n
moment OF awful fear. They expected
to be dashed to the bottom. They felt
tie carriage slip sharply down few
inches; then came sudden jolt, halt
and they were standing still. The safety
catches, which are generally more orna-
mental than useful sprang TO their
places and held the carriage there. Even
then the situation was painfully perllous.
The slightest movement might cause
the catches to slip again and everybody
seemed afraid to breathe. The position
in which the halt was made was not
within easy access of any landing, and
the party was forced TO remain there
until the workmen came with ladders
to their relief This took but very
few minutes, yet 1t seemed an eternity,
and it was with feelings of deep and
heartfelt thaukfulDess that they touched
a firm landing once more. The only
bodily injuries inflicted by the shock
were a slight cut which Miss Jones sus-
tanned on the side of the head when the
rope broke, letting bolt descend from
the top of the carriage where it was at
tached, and the bruising of her shoulder
by contact with the post. They are in
no way serious.

THE END OF a CEsECkERED
CAREER.
DEATH CT TIE HEROINE OF TIE CABINET
CRISIS OF 1881.

Mrs. Margaret l.. Eaton, widow o.
Gen. John Henry Eaton, Secretary Of
War in the first cabinet Of President
Jackson, died in Washington on Satur-
day last. The New York Herald gives
very interesting sketch of hcr life.
Mrs. Eatou's maiden name was Marga-
ret l.. O'Neil She was born in one Of
the Southern States in 1896, and was
consequently in her eightyiiith year.
Her father was a gentleman OF wealth
and good social position, and she re
Ceived an unusually good education for
that early period. She was endowed
with high personal beauty, and had a
singular fascination of manner, which,
combined with great strength of will,
ambition and perseverance,, enabled her
TO become reigning belle, and, at la
ter period, the real queen OF society at
the federal court. Her first husband,
by whom she had several children. was
Mr.. Timberlake, purser in the United
States navy. The nuptials were cele-
bratcd with eclat, and the father OF Miss
ONeiil presented her, on her wedding
day, with a well-fnrnished house at
Washington. Mr. Timberlake was an
intimate personal friend OF Majo John
Henry Eion, Senator from Tennessee
from 1878 TO 1929, known as the most
trusted companion Of Gen. Jackson. 1t
has been stated that Purser Tiwberlake
had presentiment OF early death aud
had expressed the hope that his young
widow might become the wife Of his
friend, Major (afterward Gem Eaton.
BE tEis as it may, the second marriage
took place in 1928, but few months
before the Inauguration OF Gen. Jack
son. UucharitabIe rumors were in cir
culation in Washington concerning the
relations between Eaton and Mrs. Tim
berlake, and the former consulted Gen.
Jackson about the expedieucy of siIen-
cling them by marriage. Gen. Jackson,
whose chIyarous nature in respect 10
women cannot be called in question,
warmly advised that step, and became
so devoted friend aud admirer Of Mrs.
Eaton that he, too, was accused by his
adversaries Of maintaining improper re-
lations with the lady. Gen. Eaton bad
rendered notable services during the
electoral campaign, and was rewarded
with a seat in the cabinet as Secretary
Of War, less on account Of any personal
aptitude than because Jackson wanted
Ito have friend about him upon whum
he could rely Gen Eaton's entrance
into tile cabinet nominally gave his wife
high social status, bot the wives of the
other members OF the cabinet declined
10 associate with her, and for more than
a year Washington was the theatre of a
social warfare. sold Hickory" demsn-
ded Of his secretaries the recognition OF I
Mrs Eaton, and was refused by all ex-
cept Mr.. Van Duren. Jackson next de-
the resignation OF his secreta
ries, and they were sent IN and accepted
on the ground OF determination 10 re-
organize the cabinet. In 1886 Cen
Eaton was appointed minister 10 Spain,
and Mrs. Eaton became reigniDg Ia
vorite i'll Madrid. In 1870 she returned
TO Washington, residing there until the
death of her husband in 1856 A year
later she made the acquaintance Of an

strife which is likely to be made for
possession Of the mine.

the crosscuts on the first level In the

feet In hard quartz showing no change.
