CHICAGO, Feb. 16.-A special to the
Daily News from Joliet, says mine at
Braidwood, twenty miles south of that
point, caved in and imprisoned rs
men. A subsequent dispatch to the
same paper says 45 of the miners are
dead.
CHICAGO, Feb. 16.-The Inter Oceans
Joliet special says the mine which
caved in here was the Diamond mine
operated by a stock company. The
foods and recent thaw had loosened
the earth about the moNth of the pit
and land slide began about 8 o'clock
this p. M. which In few ns inutes i'm
prisOned some so miners. Reports
from Braidwood are very indefinite,
but place the loss of life at so to so.
Two thousand men are ready to work
as q rescuing party, but only few can
get at the place at once. The cave-in
Is nearly 80 feet square. Braidwood is
one Of the largest coal mining places
in the state.
THE WORST REPORTS CONFIRMED.
CHICAGO, Feb. 16.-A brief interview
just held with A. L. Sweet, president OF
the four mines com prising the Diamond
mine company, confirms the reports OF
the terrible disaster at BraidwoOd. MIR.
SEeet's information is that 800 men
were in the various shafts this after-
noon, when the ground sagged in under
the weight of water that had at once
saturated and loosened it. Si1ty-two
men were in one shaft which caught
the bulk of the falling debris and which
was instantly flooded. Every one of
them was either drowned or smother
ed inside of five minutes. Their bodies
are now buried beneath many tons OF
earth. One hundred acres have
been excavated. Not one of. the
miners in the one unfortunate shaft
escaped. Digging and pumping are go.
ing on vigorously. but it will be many
hours before the bodies can be reached.
The mine was of the ordinary kind
supplied with regular shafts and sup
posed to be well protected from acci.
dent.

AT Birmingham, Ala, John b. Smith,
a young merchant, got into difficulty
in gambling saloon recently, with q
faro-dealer named William Donohue,
and was shot and killed by him. Smith
and Donohue had played several games
of cards, and the former claimed q
certain per cent. of the winnings,
which the latter refused to allow.
Smith taunted Donohue with bad faith
daring him to fight it out. D0nohue
finally agreed to fight, if Smith would
put aside his pistol. Smith declined
to fight that way when Donohue said:
Measure off ten PAGES here; I'll shoot
it out with you" Both drew pistols,
the hammer of Smiths weapon caught
as he pulled, and the weapon was fred,
the charge grazing his hip. Donohue
shot twice, both balls taking effect and
one ball piercing the heart Of young
Smith, who fell dead in his tracks.
Donohue escaped, and nothing has yet
been heard of him.

A CASE OF somnolenCy Is attracting
great attention at Kingston, Ont. The
patient is married lady between so
and so years of age. Many years ago
she took i'll with a sort OF nervous
weakness, resulting in loss of strength,
and finally passed into somnolency.
She partook of little nourishment,
PRINCIPALLY liquids, and could not speak
or move. Her pulse was regular, aLd
the doctor judged she was free from
pain. She was conscious, however,
and could indicate gheneyer she de-
sired anything. For years she laid in
bed or reclined In a chair. Then she
regained her wonted health and
strength. Again, about 1880, she show
ed symptoms of another nervous at
tack, and she was indisposed during
the winter and gradually passed into a
state of lethargy. She lies perfectly
still and sleeps, the functions of the
body seeming to be naturally perform
ed. The physicians attending her
made study of the case, and it is
the only one of such character he
has ever heard or read about. There
is nothing to indicate disease of the
brain, secretion is regular, and the
mise normal. Her doctor attributes
this state of lethargy to the utter pros
tration of the nervous system. He
thinks she is conscious, but believes
if the brain were examined the cere-
bellum would be found undergoing q
change. The probabilities are che
will never recover.
