Ergot in the Hay.

NEosHo FALLS Kan, March a4.-The
veterinary surgeons here investigating the
cattle disease are now positive that they
have discovered the source of the trouble,
and all agree that it is not epizootic
ahptha, lacking many of the i'm
portant symptoms of that disease.
1t is not lack of care, neither is it alkali

DR.. Salmon says that as soon as he saw the
cattle he thought of ergot, and they proceeded
to examine the hay. They found it to con-
tain large amount of wild rye which was
full of ergot The surgeons all say
they never saw one-twentieth part 50

Plan to Extinguish Underground Fire

PTTTsBURG, March 24.--William Duhring,
a prominent oil operator and one of the
stockholders of the Pocahontas coal mine in
West Virginia, in which miners recently lost
their lives in the explosion, has hit upon a
novel plan of extinguishing the fire, which is
still raging. His idea is to have an engineer
locate five Of the nine chambers and then
dill wells or holes through the top of
the mountain, an estimated distance of
500 feet; through the openings thus made it
is proposed to introduce streams of water I'M
til the entire mine is flooded and the flames
are quenched. A gang of builders left for
the mine, who will employ the oil methods of
drilling wells. Within week the drills
will be operation, but it will be fully two
months ere the mines will be flooded. Duhr-
ing says the cause of the explosion is still

Carpenter is free man. At abe opening of
court at 9 O'Clock the jury returned with a
verdict Of not guilty. They had been out all
night, and looked excessively worn and tired.
Carpenter was Immediately surrounded by
his friends and congratulated right and left,
ard was Immediately discharged from Gus
tody.
When the jury went out at p. IN. with
instructions to return at T:30 Carpenter left
the room smilingiy, shaking hands with all
who approaches him, as if verdict OF not
guilty had already been announced. On tho
street Immediately after adjournment much
speculation was INDUCED in as to the prob
able verdict. One of the counsel for the de-
Tense offered to bet s., 900 to $50 on verdict
of not guilty. Even greater odds were Of
feyed but received no takers.
When court met at $50 in the. evening
every available inch of room in the court
was soon occupied, and everybody waited,
expecting the momentary appearance of the
jury with a verdict Of acquittal. But
jury came not. and the sound Of
excited argument coming from the
jny-room convinced the crowd that

Carpenter nor his family were in the room,
nor did Mr. Forrest make his appearance.
As time passed on the faces of the counsel
for the defense heightened, especially when il
was whispered about that the jury was evenly
divided. Shortly after S O'clock court was
adjourned until morning, unless the jury
should arrive at a verdict before.
A reception had been arranged at the resi-
dence Of ]. w. Robinson, in anticipation of {
verdict of aequittal. This, Of course, hung

and Carl Gatenbousky, Hungarians were
working side by side in narrow chamber
only four feet high, and. about
twenty yards down the chamber
Peter Suppolski was engaged drilling.
II is thought foul air must have accu.
mulated in crevice above the heads of Hen
ninger and Gatenbousky, for suddenly a ter
rible report sounded through the mine, fol-
lowed by falling roof-coal The two miners
were hurled down the narrow passage sixty
feet, their bodies being flattened and scraped
against the surface of the rocks. A great
mass of coal and slate, weighing three tons,
fell upon Gatenbousky, hanging and crush
ing his body. His flesh was burned and
twisted, and when the remains were removed
from the breast the skin hung i'll fayed
shreds five and six inches long. His clothes
were torn from his body in little shreds.
Henninger was horribly mutilated. Sup.
polslli was burned about the hands and face,
and his beard and hair shriveied up to the
skin and scalp.
