An Extensive Gave.

UNDERSTANDABLE Pennsylvania, Septcm-
Der 5.-Tbc Enterprise mine Of Port Bowkicy,
owned and operated by Andrew Langdon, Of
Buffalo, was this morning the scene OF the
most extensive cave which has occurred in
this region for years, and nearly 100 acres Of
ground settled from four to six feet. The Lc-
high Valley Railroad tracks sunk five feet, and
all traffic was stopped for some hours. The
air IL the mine was driven with the violence OF
an explosion and forced its way out OF the
shaft, almost totally wreckfbg the inside woik X
ngs. The ground is covered with seams and
cracks for several hundred feet, and five
houses belonging to the miners were wrecked.
The mIre ia ruined 1t Is now full OF gas.
and the water from the river and from some
abandoned workings near by Is pouring
through the assures In the ground. All Of the
mules that were in the mine were saved. Five
hupdred peFeoas are thrown out cf cmploym.n'.
The owner OF the mine refused $500, 90 last
week for his interest In the coal that was left
In tue mine.
A second fall took place at the Enterprise
Mine cave this evening, which now embraces
fully go acres, extending from the Susque-'
hanna River up the hill TO the fan-house Of the
mine, a distance Of half mile. The fall OF
rock this evening is thought to be enormous
Before all the mules could be rescued six were
killed. Even II the minci not flooded, IL will

down, and they have seen nothing of him. hounds must do their work. But perhaps he to repose himself If so, though no hound can reach him, the terriers used for such work are capable of showing him the un- safety of his position. The first challenge is enough, and the otter determines to try with the stream, and in almost less time than it takes to pen these lines he is a couple of miles down the river, and probably once more comfortably ensconced in hide Again he is found, and realizing the uselessness of attempting to shirk off, the gallant otter p1unges luckily among the pack diving un- der the foremost hound, and sending back old Trumpeter, who had dived after him, with sanguinary marks on his iowl or feet. Pressing round him, the hounds care nought for sharp teeth (and they are sharp, mind you), and the battle rages; the otter's skin, which is of the very toughest, withstands all the force of his enemy's tooth. and his in comparable swimming powers give him great advantage. The ''tailing" is the next and not the least difficult part of the perfor- nance, and if not done by very experienced and sinewy arms, nasty bites from the vic tim are more than probable. At last he is landed, and, amid angry growls from his foes, he is fastened ill death-grip, while they are fully avenged for their many and se- we're wounds. If the otter be big and brave one he generally succeeds in putting several of his opponents hors de combat, and not unfrequently regains the water after being tailed high and dry; but once the hounds come to close quarters with him, his chances of life are indeed few and slender.

MANUFACTURERS IN EARNEST

The Views of One in Massachu-
 setts-HoW the Factory People VIII Vote.
 A Boston Journal scribe took down these notes of conversation Monday with the treasurer of manufactory employing 1,600 hands:
 FI, in common witt, the manufacturers gensrally, I think, am greatly interested in the pending election. If the party which stands by protection is successful, I think it will be lasting victory for American indus tries. I was in Washington several weeks while the Morrison tariff bill was before the committee and the House, and from what I saw and heard I am fully persuaded that a Democratic Congress and President would be sure to so meddle with the tariff as to bring ruin to our manufacturing enterprises. I am therefore more interested in this election than I have been in any which preceded it:' "But the Democrats in part propose to ig- nore the tariff issue" interposed the Journal representative ''They cannot do it." was his response. "They have raised the issue; they have alarmed every industrial interest in the country, and now 1t is too late to avoid meeting it before the people. They have got to do it. There is no room for evasion.
 
 rison tariff bill unless they control Con gress in the next election. y 'FYou are 8 pretty radical Republican," remarked the Journal man. 'EOn the contrary" was the response, q have not voted for the head of the Republican ticket in Massachusetts for two years. In other words voted for Gene ral Butler in 1882 and 1883. I knew him, and so far as knew him I believed that he was abused. So I voted for him. Other wise am and have been Republican, but not a shouter This year. however, am in earnest-not because I am Blaine man, but because am Republican and protection ist. I like MT. Biaine's letter of acceptance. 1 believe the time has come for an American policy. It is a cause for humiliation to this great country that it is defenceless, and that fourth-rate power with good war ship can insult us and lombard our great cities. It is enough to condemn the Democrats in Con- gress for all time that they refused to vote money to fortify our cities and to continue the building of navy. We must have a navy; and that should be built by several private yards, so that there would be plants to construct merchant ships when needed I do not believe that the Democratic party as represented in Congress has the business ca pacity and the courage to undertake these things. I must say that l was pleased with that part of Senator Hoar's speech about the Copiah oUerage. It is about time that these wrongs be talked of as they deserve" ''How will the men in your mills vote." was asked. eff it is between Blaine and Cleveland, 8 large majority will vote for Blaine; but if General Butler should run a third candi- date he would get large number of votes and Cleveland would be third in the race. Seven-eighths of them voted for General Butler last year, and he is very strong with them. They are pretty well instructed on the bearing of the tariff question upon their in terests."

THE NEW ORLEANS EXPOSITION.

Perhaps the most interesting and impres- sive sight at the great exposition which is to be held in New Orleans soon will be in the department set apart for the exclusive use of the colored people. Ex-Senator Blanche R. Bruce has been made ''chief director of the colored exhibit" He is already in cor respondence with the leading colored men of every State and section with 8 view of arousing popular interest in the enterprise He is appointing honorary members in every State to assist in the work. The exposition management will G5rnish transportation for all articles to and fl fom New Orleans. Ware houses willie etstsl l;skes where they may be needed in the n9rth and south for the collection and shiHEnent of articles designed for the exhibit nr. Bruce has taken hold with determination to make the very best possible exhibit with the materials at com mand. It is good chance for the colored people to show what they can do, and they will doubtless take full advantage of it. They have made wonderful progress during the last twenty years, and the exhibition of the products of their skill and toll will probably greatly surprise many who used to think that the negro was little better than an ami nal.
 It is perhaps not to be wondered at that the preparations for this exposition do not find hearty support in England. English people have been invited to send exhibits, and some have been promised, but English men in general are inclined to hold aloof, re- garding it as intended to divert to the United : 4I,o o5a of and Ctanfra1 and South America, of which England now has the largest share. The Manchester Exam iner expresses this view of the scheme: The ''World's Cotton Exposition is not philan- thropie undertaking. It is to be merely an extensive advertising swindle. In other words, it is being arranged in such man ner that European exhibitors have no chance of being fairly represented, and the international title is to give an undue impor- tance to the local American productions. Of course the commercial world at large will not be deceived by this artifce. But the neigh boring Spanish-speaking communities may very possibly be impressed and they are the parties whom it is intended to delude. Our correspondents warning may perhaps be in time to put English traders with Central America on the alert.
 This is rather severe language, and finely exhibits the English idea that nobody has a right to do anything that will not help Eng land. We do not suppose, however, that the managers of the exposition will change their plans on account of such unfair criticism, nor it it probable that the great show will be a failure because it was not planned especial ly to help England's trade.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

''Tottn is the latest slang word in Paris. It is said to be an Anamese word, and to say that thing is tott is equivalent to saying that is is so perfect in it's way as to be beyond the reach of criticism.
 Hon. Charles L. Dean, of Ashford, will, it is said, be presented by his many friends in Windham county as candidate for State treasurer at the Republican convention next week. Colonel Dean has been 8 successful business man.
 The editor of the Bridgeport Standard, MT. Candee, was the nominee for lieutenant gov ernor on the Republican ticket two years ago, but the Standard does not think it wise to renominate the old ticket. It wants either Mir. Treat or Mr. Lounsbury nominated for governor.
 The city of Brussels is about to try the ex- pertinent of running street cars by electricity One line, that of the Rue de Lol, is to be equipped with motors, and separate accounts are to be kept, to test the expense of this system as compared with the present. At the end of year, if the experiment is sue cessful, electricity will wholly supersede horse power on the street railroads ot that city.

Death fin a Dish-CIoth.

tI had some neighbors once-clever, good sort of folks; one fall four of them were sick at one time with typhoid-fever. The doctor ordered the vinegar barrels whitewashed, and threw about 40 cents worth of carbolic acid in the swill-pail and departed I went into the kitchen to make gruel; needed a dish-cloth. She looked round on the tables. Why said she, there were about dozen here this morning. and she looked in the wood-box and on the mantle piece, and felt in the dark corner of the cupboard Well, l said, T saw some old, black, rotten rags ly- ing round, and burned them, for there is death in such dish-cloths as these, and you must never use such again.
 ''I took turns at nursing that family four weeks, and believe those dirty dish-cloths were the cause of all that hard work There fore, say to every housekeeper, keep your dish-cloths clean. You may wear your dress es without ironing, your sun-bonnets without elastics, but you must keep your dish-cloths clean. You may only comb your hair on Sundays, you need not wear collar unless you go from home; but you must wash your dish-cloth. You may only sweep the floor when the sign gets right the window don't need washing; you can look out at the door; that spider web on the front porch don't hurry anything; but, as you love your lives, wash out your dish-cloth. Let the foxtail get ripe in the garden (the seed is foot deep anyway, let the holes in the heels of your husbands foot-rags go undarned, let the sage go ungathered, let the childrens shoes go two Sundays without backing, let two hens sit four weeks on one wooden egg; but do wash out your dish-cloths Eat without a table eloth wash your faces and let them dry; do without curtain for your windows, and cake for your tea; Rbut, for heavens sake, keep your dish-cloths clean.
