EIGHTEEN MEN BURIED EsCAPa
FROM FRlGHTFUL LOSS or LIFE.
PoET HENRY, N. Y, May 13-Another
accident occurred at Minevilc, last night,
and one which but for the merest chance
would have proved a dreadful casualty. The
circumstances are as follows: At $50 last
evening several tons Of ore and rock fell
from the roof of Old Bed mine, part of which
fell over the opening of shaft under the
mine, enclosing eighteen men in
the shaft The alarm was at once
given and hundreds of willing helpers
Immediately responded, and the work of ex-
cavating the unfortunate men was pushed
with will. Their cries for help were easily
audible and spurred on the force to the ut
most speed. At length a small opening was
made through the debris, after several hours
work, and at 0 o'clock the men were liberat-
cd by means of a rope lowered through
small opening dug through the mass For
tunatcly no one was injured, as no one was
ascending the shaft at the time, If the acct
dent had happened few minutes later there
would have been an appalling loss of life.

SPORTING MATTERS.

The HIanlan-COurtney Boat Race.
1T COMES OFF AT LAsT-HANLAN THE WINNER.
WASHINGTON, May 19.-The race having
been postponed till $50, on account of the
heat, al That hour the boom Of the gun gave
notice to the contestants to get ready. Ii is
estimated that 10, 900 people were collected
to witness the contest. AT COB Haniln and
Courtney took their positions, Hanlan hav-
ing won the toss and taking the Virginia
side At @: 10 the word 60" was given,
and both men were off, Courtney took the
lead. Hanlan went to the front before reach
ing the quarter mile flag and at the half mile
flag still led. Hanlan turned the stake boat
first, a long ways ahead of Courtney On
the third mile Hanlan was leading but not
much. At the half mile flag from the finish
Hanlan still lead, and Courtney left the
course and rowed to his boat-house. Ham
Ian rowed to the finish in about 81 minutes
FURTHER PARTICULARS.
On the word 'go" both men got away to
beautiful start. Courtney's oars seemed to
catch a trife in advance of his opponent and
with sturdy even grip upon the water sent
his boat slightly to the front For the first
| half minute he pulled Is strokes or at the
rate of SO to the minute, while Ianlan was
timed Al. Before Courtney pulled 10 strokes,
however, Hanlan overhauled him and each
succeeding stroke sent Hanlan's boat further
to the front. At the first flag marking one
eighth Of a mile from the start, clear water
could just be seen between the stern of his
boat and the bow of Courtney's. At this
point Courtney turned to look over his Shout
ders and evidently realized he was beaten, as
he suddenly dropped his stroke TO 80 and
shook his head to some one on the referees
boat, who shouted to him to pull. Courtney
answered, saying, 1T isn't in me-" Hanlan
also eased up and pulling steadily at 80
strokes to the minute, opened a gap as he
pleased. All interest in the race was gone
when Hanlan reached the three quarter flag
| fully ten lengths in advance. At the first
mile he was pulling 81 strokes to the min
ute and leading by fully fifteen boat
lengths, Courtney laboring unsteadily
and frequently casting despairing glances
over his shoulder. Soon after passing the
mile flag Courtney stopped rowing and re-
moved his handkerchief, dipped it in the
water and replaced it on his head, repeat
ing the operation half dozen times Dur
ing the next mile his steering, which at the
start was faultless, became more and more
cratic, and three of the six flags from the
half mile to the two mile point were either
brushed by his oars or run over directly by

To Save Hay From Gettinr Wet,

Many years ago there lived in Salem, this State, an eccentric individual named Amasa Kilborn, about whom numberless stories are told to this day. On one occasion in summer he had five acre lot of choice grass cut and spread out to dry. In the afternoon show came up and drenched it. The next day the hay was spread out to dry. Another shower came up and redrenched it. On the third day the same programme was repeated On the fourth day, after the hay had been properly dried and raked into winrows, an alabaster cloud pillar was showed up over the western horizon, and distant growl of thun- der echoed from the hills. Kilborn was mad clear through. He looked at the hay, and looked at the cloud. ''Run up to the house, boy" he said, in voice trembling with re- sentiment, land bring down fire brand; :; quick, now!'' The boy asked no ques- tions. He came back with flaming torch, and Kilborn touched off each winrow. There" said he; ''damn it; I'll see if this hay will git wet again !'
