DEADwooD, d. T., May 10.-A
''cave" occurred at the Golden Ter
ra mine, Terraville, at Z o'clock last
evening. Thirteen persons were in
the mine. The night shift of sixty
men were just coming on, bu. only
about 20 had entered the tunnel,
when a large mass Of earth fell in
the distance of nearly 300 feet from
the mouth, tearing and throwing
down the timbers at fearful rate
for one or two hundred feet. One
man was thrown by the compress
ion of the air nearly 50 feet out of the
tunnel against the side wall of the
open cut, and instantly killed. Two
others were blown right through
the tunnel toward the Highland
mine, at Lead City. One ESCAPED
unhurt, the other was struck by a
timber and died last night. Eleven
were buried under the debris. The
cave is supposed to be about 200
feet long, 100 feet wide and 80 feet
deep, and it occurred directly over
a large ore chamber. Hundreds OF
miners were at once set to work
from Lead and Central Cities, and
shifts were changed every fifteen
minutes, only five or six being able
TO work on each side Of the cave at
a time. Several escaped, with no.
thing more serious than 4 few
bruises. Nine miners who had
been imprisoned in the mine since
Z o'clock last evening were all res
cued this afternoon, none of them
sustaining any injuries.

Col. Scott Dead

PHu.ADELrHIA, May q. Thomas
Alexander Scott. of the Pcnnsylva-
MIA and Texas Pacific Railroad, Is
reported TO have died this morning.
Since he returned from Europe,
whittier he went for his health, he
has not. been in sufficiently good
health to attend to his business. and
finally gave up his Presidency OF
the Pennsylvania Railroad, but
still retained an office in the com
pany's buildings, where he enter
tanned his friends. The third and
most serious attack OF paralysis
which Col. Scott endured, took place
about three weeks ago. His ply
sicians had warned him to be care
ful, but always cheerful and in good
spirits he made light of his intirmi-
ties, and determined to attend the
wedding of the son of Theodore
Cuyler. fIe was driven in his car
riage from his own home to MIR.
Cuyler's house on Rittenhouse
Square. When the iootman open
ed the door of the carriage he was
shocked to see Col. Scott reclining
in the carriage with Il deathly pal
lor sprc..d over his countenance.
He was Immediately driven back to
his home, carried up stairs and at
tended by several physicians. He
rallied slowly ut first, then rapidly,
and was removed to bis country
seat near Derby. Thursday nigh
/ it became evident that he was about
to suffer from another stroke.
Everything was done to relieve
him, but he sank slowly. All day
yesterday (Friday) his death was
hour'y expected. His mind re-
mained clear up to last evening,
when his memory began to fail. All
through the day he remained cheer
ful and laughed and ioked with his
attendants. He was surrounded by
his warmest friends, his wife and
son, James p. Scott.

life Insurance lfurderers.

LEBANON, Pa, May 1S.-Two
weeks previous 10 their execution
Josiah Hummel and Israel Brandt,
the Raber murderers, made confes-
sions which they requested their
spiritual adviser, Rev. MIR. Talbot, to
keep from the public for one year.
The time having expired, the con-
fessions appeared in print to-day.
Hummel confesses to have been in
the company of Wise and Brandt
whaa the latter spoke about insur-
ing man, and Wise said he had a
man TO work him away and suggest
ed various ways of doing it. At the
time of Raber's death he and Wise
were at Johnstown. Brandt confess
es that he first obtained his khowl-
ed of the conspiracy to murder Ra-
Der from Wise. He admits that he
had 1900 insurance on Raber,
but that one policy was worthless.
He prohounces the testimony of
Lena Peters and the confession of
Wise false. He says George Zech-
man was the most active in carry
ing out Wise's plan, and declares the
testimony of Mrs. Drews, that Zech-
man had been at her house before
the murder, false. and that she was
bribed to testify in his favor.

Robertson Confirmed.

WASHINGTON, May lS.-Whcn the
Senate went into executive session
this afternoon the nominations re-
ceived from the President to-day
were read and referred to proper
committees, and a message was also
read announcing withdrawal by
the President OF the nomination OF
Gensral Adam Badeau as Charge
d'Aifairs to Denmark. Immediate
" afterward Senator Gonger called
up the nomination of Edwin A. Mer-
ritt TO be Consrl General at Lon
don, and it was instantly confirmed
without debate and without any ut
tered manifestation of dissent from
any Senator, the confirmation being
eject Shy common consent in the
absence OF objeetion."
The nomination OF William II.
Robertson as Collector of Cgstoms
for the port of New York was then
called up and confirmed in precisely
the same manner, without de-
mand for a vote Of any kind or q
word of discussion. During the
remainder of the executive session
the Senate confirmed many other
nominations.

Counterfeit.

WASHINGTON, May 20.-Acounter-
felt silver certificate ofthe denomina-
ton of $40 has been received at the
Treasury Department. 1t is pen
made and lis execution is such that
an ordinary judge of money should
detect the fraud on sight. The pa
per is Of ordinary bank note quality
being thinner than that upon which
the genuine certificate is printed
in Il color darker. The counterfeitcr
has initiated the distinctive paper
of the Government by drawing two
parallel lines throughout the length
of the note. There are so many
defects and omissions in the spuri-
Gus certificates, when compared
with the genuine, that it would be
futile to enumerate them, seeing
they are the produc: of 4 pen and
not the plate. 1t is sufficient to
state that the Treasury number can
be wiped off with the aid of aspenge.
The diamond-shaped figure between
each letter of the word certificate
on the back on which the genuine
is geometrically exact in its dupli-
cation is on the counterfeit utterly
destitute of uniformity either in
shape or size. Engraved and
printed at the Bureau of Engraving
and Printing" appears under tn,
word certificate, on the back, also
cut on the side border at the right
end of the face of the note. Ii does
not appear at either place in the
counterfeit, yet as the forger can
and and diminish at pleasure, it
would be useless to indicate further
omissions. 1t is believed the coun-
terfeit certificates have very limit
ed circulation in the South and
Southwest. Any person who beng
once advised of these spurious GER
tiiicates who should receive them as
genuine; would deserve little sym
pathy, for the reason that with or
dinary scrutiny the counterfeit may
he letpcted

ROCHESTER, n. Y, May 19.-Pat-
rick Ivens, in 1872, left his wife and
two children in Auburn and went to
Dakota to seek fortune. Three
DAYS after Mrs. lvens got a telegram
that her husband was dead. She
sold her property, came to Roches-
ter and by hard toll supported her
self and children, securing every
body's respect by her conduct. In
1878 she married John A. Hughes,
book-keeper in a large dry goods
house. On Tuesday Ivens arrived
here hunting his family, and was
astonished at the state of affairs.
He held conference with his wife,
both calmly canvassing the whole
subject. Mrs. Hughes refused alb
solutely to live with him, but said
so with no i'll feeling. Ivens, con-
vinced that she was happy and con-
tented, said he would never disturb
her again, and returned West.
Ivens said he never sent the notice
of his death, but during the entire
absence wrote every week and for
years regularly sent ten dollars
every week. Mrs. Hughes friends
doubted this. Others believe Ivens,
because, when he came East. he
went to Auburn, thinking his wife
still there, and was astonished to
find her gone, and when he left
Rochester he was completely broken
down. They believe some rascal
gave Mrs. LYONS the telegram and
subsequently received and opened
Ivens letters.

Distressing Suicide.


New YoaK, May 17.-Miss Eiiie
Person, fourteen years Of age, shot
herself through the head to-day, .dy-
ing instantly. Investigation by the
police seems to establish the fact
that the child committed suicide un-
der peculiarly distressing circum-
stances. Her father, Aaron d. Per-
son is bookkeeper IN Dielman's
piano factory. l!o lives with 4
family, consisting of q vie and two
daughters, besides the dead child.
OF late he had been the victim OF
mysterious robberics, and on Satur-
day he said $50 were missing from
his drawer, which must have been
stolen from the house that morning
This morning he made the state
mcnt to his family that he had again
been robbed-this time of s70--and
insisted that the money had been
taken by some one in the house
and by some one of his own family
He rushed from the house, shouting
that he would not return till the
money was brought to light. Mrs.
Person hurriedly wrote to the po-
lice, and asked for detective to
come to the house. Soon after she
went with one Of her daughters into
the front room, to look tor the re-
turn of her husband. The child
Eiiie was in the back kitchen alone
Suddenly the report OF a pistol was
heard, and the mother, rushing into
the kitchen, found the child on the
floor, writhing in the agony of death
She said she had shot herself be-
cause her father had accused her ol
stealing the money, and the next
moment she was dead. This is the
story told by the police as the re-
suit of the investigation. Mr. Per-
son said calmly that the shooting
was an accident. the girl having
found the pistol in a bureau drawer
1t is considered probable that the
girl, fearing arrest. shot herself
Alarming rumors of a fight in the
family, in the course of which tn,
girl was shot, were sisted by the po-
lice, and the story told above ae
cepted as the true state of affairs.
