MAssILLoN, O., August 15.-An acci-
dent of an unusually strange and hOrri-
BILE nature for even coal mine, oc-
Cured at Elm Run Shaft, No. 1, of the
Massillon City Coal Company, south of
here, this morning, and which resulted
in the instant and terrible death of
Charles Lind, young man eighteen
years of age. 1t was the young mans
duty to oil the pumps in the mine, and
the cage had been stopped about half
way down the shaft, SO that he could go
through door opening from the side of
the shaft, where one Of the pumps was
located. In little while after the cage
was stopped, the engineer on top re-
ceived the signal to hoist. He started
the engine, but it stopped almost in
stantly. An employe climbed down the
frame work on the side of the shaft to
ascertain the trouble, and he found the
lifeIess body of young Lind crushed and
fastened between the top of the door in
the side of the shaft and the floor of the
cage. The circumstances plainly show
that the young man gave the signal to
hoist before he was ready to get on the
cage, and, IN jumping on after it was In.
motion, was caught, as stated. lfftf'

picture Of what would have been Gui-

In court he would have been confronted
with his crime. Entering the plea of
insanity, he would instantly have been
sent before q Commission of l.unacy;
the Commission the same day would
have pr nOuncei him sane. Evidence
would have l'ecn taken to prove his
guilt, and Ivy the next afternoon he
would nave been Il condemned murder

Baltimore has high reputation for
the beauty of her women. 1--WE live

can, "and whatever is beautiful in tho
diverse races OF mel reaches its ulti-
mate perfection in this latitude. In
fact, ugliness can't stand this climate.
1t has got to die out or emigrate. 1T is
true that there are some strongly
marked families who hold out wonder
fully against the identifying influences
of the climate and nurture, but these
are exceptional" The writer confesses,
however, that the basis of Baltimore
beauty is imported, for he adds; lit is
easy to find in this city the finest ex
amples OF true Celtic Irish beauty, tho
fairest blonde Saxons and Morse types,
the Norman-Frerch type, and the ltal-
ian and Spanish brunettes. Some of
the most beautiful examples of the
Hebrew type that the world can show
are found in this city"
