STILL HOLDING OUT.


When the wholesale capture and sur.
render Of Arabs forces took place, there was
one rebel who positively refused 10 give up.
This was AbdallahA Pasha, who had charge Of
5000 troops in Damietta, aud also held the
forts OF Dibha and Ghemllah. On the 10Th
instant he was still immovable, and the British
were preparing to compel his surrender. In
all other parts of Egypt, however, the British
were In power, and trains were running regu-
larly between Alexandria and Cairo. Later
reports state that as 5000 or 5000 troops were
proceeding to Kafr-el-Dwar to surrender, an
entire regiment moved of eastward to DAM
eta to join Abdallah Pasha. The regiment con.
sisted Of 500 men, and was that Of Arab Pasha.

The Rochdale plan of cooperative
stores, which divides the profits among
the purchasers instead of shareholders,
is successful in England. In the ag-
gregate these establishments divided
last year nearly 10 per cent. on the
gross amount of their sales. This is
equal to 60 per cent. on the share
capltal--a much larger ratio than the
private dealer realizes, the greater pro
fit arising from the fact that the coop
erative stores are not required to 90 to
any expense to get or retain custom,
and that their business is so regular
that they need suffer very little from
dead stock. In 1861 there were $50
English societies, with 48,184 mem
bers doing an annual trade amounting
to about $7,500,000. In ten years the
number of members and sales increased
fivefold; and the capital was nearly
doubled. In the next decade the mem
bership doubled, the capital increased
threefold, and the sales to more than
100000 members amounted in 1880
to 100000, 900.

A DOUBLE DROWNING.
Sad Accident to Detroit Yachting
Party on st, Clair River.

About A o'clock Friday afternoon
the yacht Annie X. arrived off Port
Hampton with party on board con-
sisting of Andrew G. Kramer, VIM. Il.
Sackmann, VIM. L. Hartman andTheo-
dore Heinrich, who had started for q
cruise on Lake Huron. The wind died
out when the yacht reached Port
Lambton, and Sackmann concluded to
go ashore, but in stepping from the
yacht into the small boat missed his
balance and fell into the river. The
swift current bore him rapidly down
stream and although a fair swimmer
he was weighed down by his heavy
clothes and unable TO reach the shore.
The unfortunate young mans compan-
ion tore off the cabin doors of the
yacht and threw them overheard, but
they failed to reach him. Hartmann
then stripped off his coat and vest and
plunged in to the rescue, but found
himself powerless to fight the current,
and after reaching Sackmann both sank
together and were drowned. Kramer
and Heinrich made desperate attempts
to bring the yacht around in time to
be of some service. but failed. No
traces could be found of their lost
companions.
When the search had been given up
Heinrich sent dispatch to Mrs. Kra-
mer's yankee notion store at 40 east
Fort street, stating that Sackmann and
Hartman were lost. He then took the
steamer Evening Star for Detroit,
reaching here at 9 O'clock last evening.
Mr.. Kramer will remain at Port Lamb
ton until the bodies are recovered.
Sackmann was young man of %,
employ ed as pressman in the Volks-
blatt Office, and member of the Gen.
tennial boat club, which meets this
evening to take action in regard to his
death. He lived at No. 108 Russell
street. Hartmann was IL years old,
and son of the blacksmith at SO
Tasting street. Kramer is the owner
Of the yacht and foreman of the Volks-
blatt office. and Heinrich is CONNER
cial traveller. Port Lambton, where
the tragedy occurred. is few miles
south of Marine City, and the yacht
was about so feet from shore when it
happened. Leo Lochbiler and several
others left this morning to drag for the
bodies.--Detroit EUe,,in0 Nesos, Septic.

Terrible COal.Mine Disaster.
RICHMOND, Va, February

RICHMOND, Va, February l.
Particulars of the terrible coal-mine disaster
Caused by gas explosion) at the Grove
Shaft, at Coalfeld, in Chesterfield County,
yesterday, were received here to-day, and In.
dictate that the disaster was even more horr
bic than at first reported. Coalield is little
hamlet in the MIDST of the great coalbeds Of
Chesterfield County, and the mine in which
the disaster took place is about two miles dis
tant.
The scenes and incidents about the mouth
of the pit this morning were heart-rending.
Nearly every family in the place has lost a
relative by the disaster, and, despite the ter.
rible snow -storm of last night, crowd OF
men, women and children were crouched
about the mouth of the fatal shaft, shivering
from cold and calling piteously for their loved
ones, and begging that aid should be sent
them. All the morning crowds of miners
from the surrounding country have been
pouring into the place, and all seemed intent
upon penetrating the awful pit and learning
definitely the fate of those who are entombed.
Experienced miners say that the thirty-two
men in the pit are undoubtedly dead, but the
wives and children do not give up hope, and
there are not to be found those who can break
the terrible truth to them yet.
This morning at eleven O'Clock the first
attempt to reach the bottom of the shaft was
made. A large number Of miners volun-
teered to go down in the bucket. Most OF
them We're young and hardy men, and were
prepared to take their lives in their hands.
The older miners told them that the terrible
carbonic gas still fingered in the pit, and
they realized the dangers of the undertaking,
especially as no connection had yet been made
with the bottom of the shaft. Three stepped
from the crowd and insisted upon going down
in the bucket Mr. Dodds, the Superintendent
down carefully, and, after going down 100
feet, gave the signal to be pulled up. The
result of their Investigation Showed that at
least forty feet OF the brattice-work in the
mine was torn up. They discovered no gas.

Everybody is bound to some kind of
service; everybody is dependent upon
his fellows. The yeriest recluse must
have food, clothes and shelter; and, if
he can make these himself, he is still
dependent upon the courtesy of his
