A RemarIxa able Escape.

While John McClcary, an employe of the
near Haymaker, Pa, yesterday, the well
made flow of oil and threw the torpedo
out, causing its explosion. The torpedo
contained forty-eight pounds Of nitro.
glycerine. McCleary started to run as soon
as he discovered the well was about to
flow. His limbs were lacerated by flying
pieces of stone, wood and tin, and he was
thrown about 100 feet, but, jumping up,
continued his flight until he fell from
fatigue and fright. None of his bones
were broken, and it is supposed that he
will be able to resume his duties in short
time.

A NARROW ESCAPE.
How Montana Mans Life Was Saved by
Feather Red

How Montana Mans Life Was Saved by a
Feather Bed.
From the Butte (Montana) Miner.
A lively fracas occurred on Friday at Sill
yer Star between man named Frank Rodg-
ers, well known in Butte, and teamster,
whose name could not be ascertained 1t
appears that the two men were engaged in
playing poker, when hot dispute arose
about the deal. Rodgers pulleda six shooter
and, holding it up against the body of the
freighter, told him to "give up that money.
The latter, though not apparently alarm
ed, requested Rodgers not to shoot him
down like dog, when he was told to 60
and heel himself and to 'come back
a-shootin'." The teamster left the house and
Rodgers retained his seat, ready for war
In few moments Rodgers happened to
glance, toward the door, which was partly
opened, and was considerably alarmed to
see double barreled shotgun pointed at
him, the teamster behind it with fire in his
eye. Rodgers made jump for the back
door leading into bed room and was close
ly followed by his enraged foe. The room
being somewhat dark, and the bed not hav-
ing been made up, the teamster mistook the
clothes, which were lying in a heap for
Rodgers, at whose supposed body he blazed
away with both barrels. The room was at once
filled with smoke and feathers, and after
the excitement had in some measure sub
sided some men entered the apartment, in
tending to bring out all that was mortal of
the victim. They were considerably sur
prised, however, to see Rodgers emerge
from beneath the bed alive and unharmed
1t appears that he had wisely concluded to
take refuge under instead of on top of the
bed, and to his ight in the matter he
owes the preservation of his life. The
above are the particulars ~ the case as
nearly as caa be ascertained; whether they
are absolutely correct we are not advised

AN APPLE-PARING BEE.

An Old-Fashioned Merrymaking in Fifth
Avenue Mansion
1t was unique entertainment in the shape
of an apple pairing bee which Mr.. Johnston
gave few evenings since in his elegant
Fifth avenue house. The invitation to it
and one of the replies are good enough in
print. The invitation ran as follows:
1909 FIFTH AVENUE, 12-4-' S0,-How-
de-do. You'd better hitch up next We'd
nesday night and come over to our house to
an apple pairing bee. Tell your wife to
bundle up and come along. 1t will do her
good. Some of the incest boys and girls in
the neighborhood are coming. If the barn
is full you can hitch your horse in the trees
across the road. Pairing begins at early
candlelight. Don't forget your jack-knife.

Wife first reckoned how she could not come
no way; cause she had the candles to run,
the sassiges to make, the carpet-rags to
color and chunk of cloth to get in Bige's
trousers and the old mare has got ches-
nut in one of her ears, and is lame little,
but we are coming if we have to walk.
Perkins oldest boy is coming over to feed
the chickens, SO that we can get away early.
Wife is all in a quicker about how to get
herself up, whether to wear her plain lin
seywoolsey and calash, or her new speckled
chintz and bunnit. Unless you send word
by Hubbell's boy when he comes over to
mill in the morning, We shall come just as
we are. Your obedient servant. -

home with"
The refreshments consisted of pumpkin
pie, apple-pie, doughnuts, cheese and cider,
and the occasion was one of genuine mirth
and enjoyment.
