TERRIBLE CALAMITY.
Thirty Miners Buried Alive.

A terrible calamity occurred a
few days ago at the coal mines OF
Wilkesbarre, Pa.
The pressure of pond of water
on the surface far above the work
ing miners beneath, somehow forced
a way through the rock crevices,
and all at once, the roof of the
mine caved in and floods of water
and sand and debris poured in up
on the hundreds of work men. Most
of the men escaped by flight, but
about thirty men and boys were
caught in one part of the mine and
all escape cut off by the floods.
Great excitement prevails and hun
dreds of men have been at work
day and night ever since, trying
to reach their Imprisoned compan-
ions, but with little hope OF find
ing any of them alive.
The latest dispatches give the
sad news that all the missing
workmen are now supposed to be
buried under the volumes of sand
and debris that came in with the
rushing flood.

Death of General Robert TOOmbs,
of Georgia.

General Robert Toombs, the
well-known and brilliant statesman
of the South, died at his home,
Washington, Georgia, Tuesday
evening Of last week, after a
painful illness of many months.
He had been unconscious for
several days prior to his death, and
passed away q lietly and painlessly,
surrounded by his family and
friends. The death of this venera-
BILE Southerner removes the last
member but one of the original
Confederate Cabinet. His ances-
tors were English loyalists, who
left the mother country soon after
the downfall of Charles |. and
settled in Virginia. General
Toombs lived in typical Southern
home in Georgia, and was born in
1910.

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE.
All Night in the Raging Flood.

During the recent rise In Ty-
CARTS River, a raft went to pieces
on the submerged rocks, about five
miles above Grafton. George and
Noah Males and AL. Haddix We're
thrown adrift in the raging waters.
Haddix managed to cling to a log
and got ashore half milo below,
almost chilled 10 death. The two
brothers were fortunate enough to
get on the sunken rocks, where,
with drenched clothing, and one
with a finger cut off in the strug-
gle with the logs, up to their knees
in water, and with the raging
food dashing about them, they
were compelled to stand from 5
o'clock in the evening till 10 next
day, when they were rescued by a
brave fellow known as "Bully"
Kelly, who at the risk of his life
reached them with skiff. Had
dix, on reaching the shore, gave
the alarm, and soon a hundred cit
liens were on the bank, cheering
the brave men on the rocks, and
trying to devise means for their
rescue. None but the two on the
rocks in mid river can ever know
the horrors of that terrible night.

MR.. HOLT ARRESTED.
He Will Be Given an Opportunity to Defend
His Ballot-Box Breaking.

Upon the affidavit of George Lowry,
yesterday, information was filed against
Sterling r. Holt, Democratic member
Of the late board of commissioners to
recount the votes of the last city election.
The information charges him with destroying
a ballot-box by chopping its lid with a Ratchet,
and taking therefrom the ballots of the Second
precinct, Fourteenth ward. Holt was arrested
and gave 81, 900 bond, John E. Sullivan, chairman
of the Democratic city committee, becoming the
surety. Sullivan prompted Holt. it is said to
break the box, afterwards hurting in the bail
ifs room for the necessary instrument with
which to do the chopping of the lid. He gave
Holt the Ratchet. which has never been seen
since that day. It belonged to one of the court
house cleaning squad, who says the cases
will not be complete until the man who took the
Ratchet is filed against. 40
Thomas Cottrell denies that he contemplated
making the charge against Holt, but all the
| same Mr.. Cottrell asked Judge Norton, late in
the afternoon of Friday for a blank information,
which led to few minutes consul
tation between the two gentlemen. The
blank is supposed to have been given to Attorney
Cropsey, who drew up the information against
Hill and Smith. At that time he said to re-
porter: more informations will be filed by US,
but will not appear in the prosecution Of the
cases. After they are filed have nothing to do
with them

A GREAT RETAIL SALE.
South Meridian Street House Offers Sub.
stantial Bargains in Winter Wear.

When Lewis Dessar, the long-estabshed and
well-known clothier, ad7ertises it is done in no
ambiguous way, and the wayfaring man. though
a fool is capable of understanding that he offers
undoubted bargains.
There is so much chaff and so little solid grain
in many of the alleged inducements held out to
buyers that it is refreshing indeed to come across
an advertiser like Lewis Dessar, who not only
gives what he advertises, but frequently does
even better than his published promise It is a
tradesman like him who by years of fair dealing
and business uprightness adds to the good
name of a city.
This brings US to what we have to say of
great retail sale, which will begin at his estab-
lishment Nos l20 and l22 South Meridian street,
on Monday.
Among his upequaled prices note the follow
ing One hundred and fifty mems suits at So. go,
worth 81.
Mems overcoats at a. worth sc. so; boys over
coats at 81 80. worth s. rs; children's overcoats
at 81. Co. worth So
A specially inviting bargain is offered in his
imported corkscrew silk-ined oyercoats. which
he is selling at $l4 So but which are absolutely
worth $21. He also shows a full line of chin
chilas aud reefng jackets, not to speak of bar
gains offered in all departments of mems and
boys clothing

In the Circuit Court yesterday, case resisting
the confirmation of a guardianship for Jacob
Baker and others was heard Pension money
amounting to $500 is involved, the applicants
claiming that the mother, Mrs. Baker, is not
competent under the law to have and control it.
They, therefore, asked for guardian. and
selected James d. Hamln for appoint
ment to the trust. The mother contests
the confirmation of this appointment on the
ground of unftness. By testimony, partly from
Hamlin himself, it was shown that he had been
convicted twenty years ago of assault and bat
terry for which he went to the nitentiary for
two years; that he kept saloon and abused his
family. Judge Ayres said that if Hamlin had
been confirmed as guardian he did not think he
would remove him on these grounds, but as to
confirming the appointment, he wanted time to
reflect upon the facts presented.

GOSSIP ABOUT STATE POLITICS.
Speculation by the Politicians on the Demo-
cratic Aspirants for State Offices.

The agitation over the demand for the removal
OF Police Commissioner Murphy having sub
sided, and in the absence of anything else to talk
about the loungers about the State offices are
now engaged in discussing the probabilities of
the next State campaign, and already a
sufficient number of candidates for the
different Offices have been found to
make up Democratic ticket Inasmuch as the
State convention will not be held for more than
six months and all the aspirants for State Offices
have not been heard from yet, the speculations
at this time upon the nomination of the ticket
are somewhat premature. The starters" in the
Democratic race whose chances are now being
discussed, are: For Secretary of State, Myron
D. King and Judge Lewis Jordan, of Indianapo
lis: for Auditor of State, Charles Munson.
OF Fort Wayne treasurer Thomas Byrnes, of
Evansville; Attorney general, w. B. Hord, of
Columbus. and G. F. McNutt, of Terre Haute;
Clerk of the Supreme Court, Martin T. Kruger,
of Michigan City, and R. j. Conner, of Indian
apolis; judge of the Supreme Court. Thomas B.
Ward, of Lafayette. The general talk is most
favorable to Myron King, the present assistant
secretary as the candidate for Secretary of
State, but it is urged that the mar who heads
the ticket must be a speaker, and therefore
Judge Jordan is proposed. There is, however,
for the nomination. Munson is the only one
announced as a candidate for Auditor, and
Byrne, who was defeated in the convention four
years ago by John Cooper has claim it is
conceded. on the nomination next time Mr..
Hord is the and the deputy of the present
Attorney general. He has shown himself to be
fully capable of attending to the duties of the DO
stion, and has made himself popular among
the State officers, who are earnestly supporting
him for the nomination. Mr.. Kruger is bright
young German, who has come up under ADVERSE
ties. He is very popular among his acquaint-
ances, and it seems quite probable that he will
be nominated, as he has strong and enthusiastic
support Mr.. Conner, his opponent, is at pres
emit Deputy State Treasurer and has
an extensive acquaintance. He was
candidate for the nomination four years ago,
but was defeated by S. P. Sherin, who declines
to be a candidate this time, because he desires
to return to private business before he forgets
how to earn living outside of an Office. II am
bit superstitous about the candidacy OF a man
in Dick Corners position" remarked one of Mr.
Conner's friends during conversation day or
two ago. ats matter of political history
that no man holding the position of deputy in
State Office has ever been able to get a nomi-
nation"
