Cunning for the JObbors.


Lancaster Examiner.
Under the garb of taking caro- of the
little ones whose brave fathers fought,
bled and died for their country. certain
persons have fastened upon the state a
huge job in the interest of q few schools.
Without this job, these interested parties,
as school proprietors, instead of piling up
huge fortunes for themselves, would have
some trouble in keeping their patriotic
speculating " teachers " out of the aims
house.
As an instance, the soldiers orphans
school at Mt. Joy, which last year drew
over "a, 900 out of the state treasury, has
already made fortunes for two proprietors.
The first owner, Mr.. Kennedy, sold the
school out many years ago, moved West,
probably to grow up with the country,
and is known to have realized some $780,.
600 or $4,000 by teaching soldiers
orphans"
All the pressure these school proprietors
can bring to their aid is brought to bear
once more upon the Legislature. Appar-
emily these men pretend that only patriotic
motives influence them to have this "good
thing" extended to them little longer.
Many of these schools are only beneficiary
to their proprietors, hence little judicious
investigation will not come amiss.

FIGHTING BLACK DAMP.
A Remarkable Eecape OF Miners from Death
az MahADOy Plano.

A Remarkable Eecape OF Miners from Death
AZ MahaDOy Plano.
One of tho most remarkable escapes in
the history of mine disasters ever known
in the SchuylkiIl region occurred Wed
nesday afternoon at Miller, Hach & Co. e
Stanton colliery, Mahanoy Plane, near
Pottsville. A large force of miners and
several driver boys were at work in the
east gangway when u loud, hummiDg
noise, such as always precedes the aP
proach of black damp, was heard. This
was Immediately followed by a strong
current of air, which blew out all the
miners lights, leaving them in total dark
ness, and before they could realize their
position they wers overcome with the
deadly damp. A driver boy and door boy
were less seriously affected. The brave
little fellows crawled through the darkness
to where their mule was standing. TAX
ing good hold of his harness they urged
him forward in the direction of the foot OF
the slope. A short distance only had been
traversed when the mule succumbed to
the black damp and fell over and on top OF
the little driver, Patrick Moore, of St.
Clair, pinning him to the spot. Moore
cried for his companion to come to his
aid, which he did, but before Moore vas
released from under the mule he, too, fell
victim to the damp. In the meantime
the wind forced its way into tho gangway,
while the damp rushed towards the mouth
of the slope with terrible force and upon
reaching the surface threw the cage Of
the track; tearing some of the boards of
the shed covering the mouth of the pit.
This gave the alarm to the men on top
and Immediately a rescuing party de.
scended the slope. The miners in the
west gangway also heard the wind, and
after everything was apparently quiet
they proceeded to investigate the trouble
and soon met the rescuing party and all
started for the scene of the accident. The
bodies of the two boys and the mule were
the first found. A short distance further
on the bodies of nine miners were found,
lying in the east gangway, which was still
heavily charged with the black damp.
The eleven victims were soon brought to
the surface, moro dead than alive. Many
of the men had to be buried in clay for a
short time and thence removed to their
homes. None of them, however, as yet
are dead, but their condition is serious,
though they may recover. The timely
arrival of the rescuing party prevented a
terrible disaster and their escape is con-
sidered almost miraculous. The rush of
damp was caused by the falling in of an
old breast, which forced the black damp
into the gangway.

l" Tho Telephone"

The Telephone is tho name of a new
monthly issued at York, Pa, and devoted
to electrical matters in general and tel
ephono interests in particular. It is pub
lished and edited by Isaac Rudisill, con-
tains sixteen pages Of interesting matter,
including advertisements of live business
men Of York and Lancaster. A special
edition of the Telephone is printed for
circulation in Lancaster county at the low
price of % cents per year. Speaking of
the work being done in this county, it
says:
As the work of developing the telephone
business progresses in the various counties
which constitute the territory of the
the Pennsylvania Telephone company,
new aud promising fields are constantly
opening up. None have been found, how.
ever, in which there are better prospects
for grand results than in Lancaster county
and no exchange in the territory has q
better outlook than that in Lancaster
city. General Manager Ker is therefore
at present giving special attention to this
particular point, in his great field of oper-
ations, and that energy which character
ICES all his work is apparent in telephone
operations in Lancaster at this time.......
The Columbia exchange has also been
adding new local lines to its switchboard.
The line connecting Columbia and Ian
caster city is proving itself most valuable
to the business men of both places. 1t is
working elegantly aud every person is de
lighted with the idea of talking with each
other with so much satisfaction from these
two points. A number of new lines ex :
tending to various points in Lancaster
county are contemplated and several are
already in course of construction.

WEATHER AND UROPS.

The Prospects for w heat In tho West.
In Central Illinois the cold snap is re.
ported to have damaged early sown wheat
and seriously affected the peach prospect.
The latest advices from the Australian
colony of Victoria, report great damage
from floods. In Queensland there have
been terrible thunder storms, with hail
and high winds, destroying the crops and
killing many sheep.
The rainfall in California thus far has
been very light, and it is feared, that, un-
less there are plentiful showers before the
1st of April, wheat and barley will be a
total failure, except in some of the coast
counties. The yield of grapes and other
fruits promises to exceed that of any pre-
vious. year.
A train on tho North Shore railroad,
which left Montreal at o'clock on Mon
day afternoon, did not reach Quebec until
Wednesday morning. The snow was
packed solidly on the track to a depth of
five feet. A heavy rain storm in Nova
Scotia, on Tuesday night, has caused
much damage throughout the province.
All the rivers are flooded, mills, bridges
and dwellings have been swept away, and
railroad travel has been interrupted in
various directions. No lives are reported
lost.
The Cincinnati Price Current publishes
q report on the condition of the wheat cror
throughout the winter wheat belt of the,
West, in comparison with last years crop,
the condition of which was placed at 100.
The report shows the present condition as
follows Z" Ohio. 81 !; Indiana, 80 Illinois,
80 Missouri, 90 /; Kansas, 81 michigan,
96; Kentucky, 20; Tennessee, SO. The
winter wheat sections of Wisconsin
promise we'll, the general average being
about 10 per cent. beloX last year. The
spring wheat sections OF Minnesota, Iowa,
Wisconsin and Nebraska show no essential
change in area as compared with last year.
It is hardly reasonable to look for a crop
equal to last years estimates. This years
crop will fall below four hundred and fifty
million bushels, or forty. three millions
less than last year."

John Kane, the leader of the Mollie Ma
guires in Fayette county, was Wednesday
evening pierced with four balls from .
pistol in the hands Of Superintendent f.
q. Keighley, of the Youngstown coke
works, four miles north of Uniontown.
Trouble had been brewing for several
days between Kane and his superint en-
dent. When a reduction in wages was
made, about month ago, the employees of
the works struck. After several weeks
idleness new men were put to work. This
enraged Kane and he organized force
and drove the new men out Of the pits.
For this he was discharged permanently
from the company's employ and notice
was served on him to leave the house
which he occupies and which belongs to
the company. This still further enraged
him and he threatened Keighley's life.
He went to Uniontown Tuesday and got
drunk. He continued on the spree on
Wednesday, when he went into the court
room during court and threatened Con
gressman Charles E. Boyle, whom he
hates for helping to prosecute him for the
murder of Maurice Healey. He was put
out of the court room and then went to
the sheriff's house and told the family to
be on the lookout for him, as he expected
to be with them in few days. He stayed
about town till o'clock last evening,
Buck Collins being constantly with him.
They returned to the works at about 8
O'Clock and Immediately entered the store.
Kane approached Keighley and renewed
the old trouble. The superintendent told
him to 90 away, but Kane began to press
him. Keighley retreated until he could
get no farther for the corner, Kane now
motioned toward his hip pocket, and in.
stant!y Keighley pulled his revolver and
fred four shots into Kane's body, one OF
them passing clear through the abdomen
to the back. Keighley iumIed ON horse,
vent to uniontown and gave himself up
to Sheriff Hoover. Great excitement pro
walls about the works, and it is feared an
outbreak may occur. Kane was one oi
the men arrested for the murder OF
Maurice Healey, at Dunbar, but after the
acquittal of young Mcfarland he was re-
leased without trial. He has wife and
three or four children. Keighley is native
Of England. His parents live neal
Youngstown, Ohio. He is about 30 years
old and married. He has always been
quiet and peaceful.
At midnight Kane was still alive, but
the physician said it was impossible fol
him to survive. While lying at the point
of death he cursed Keighley and asked
only to live long enough to kill him.

A CLERICAL correspondent-whO is
not, as might be suspected, a member of
the Methodist conference-argues with
some plausibility that railroads owe
their existence to civilization and civili-
zation is largely indebted to the preach
ers ergo, the Pennsylvania railroad has
done a great wrong in compelling
preachers to pay full fare, except when
they travel between their different
churches of one charge and on the bus
mess of them. On the other hand,
the railroads might retort that civiliza.
tion is promoted by railroads, and that
the spread of the Gospel is aided by CIV
ilization, therefore, the preachers should
pay double fare. The truth is, that in
secular matters the preachers can best
preserve their self-respect and independ-
ence by paying their own way. AS a
class they are good men, entitled to and
generally accorded the respect of the
community. They should be better paid
than they are, and should be allowed
enough for all thei~ legitimate expenses,
including full prices for railroad tickets
and everything else they buy. They will
be better able to serve the Master and to
be fearless of the world if they are not
put under undue obligations to it. In
