Twenty-nlne Men Entombed In the
Chamber Of Death.

Cllalllb9A VI DGaIlla
WILKEsBARHE. Dee. l9-The out
look at No. l slope this morning is
frjghtful. Mine Inspector Williams
says that if the men can be reached in
forty eight hours they will be found
alive. The total exhaustion of the air
will not occur before then, and the
chance of rescue is this morning very
slim. from the fact that the air circle
has been broken. This was ascertained
by the second %rescuing party working
at the opposite end from the first party
in slope No. l.. Superintendent Nor
gan finds that there are sixty. seven
feet of q~uicksand and earth to be dug
away. This is wedged in between the
mine timbers, which have sprung in
ward and crossed. presenting an almost
insurmountable barrier. The shifts are
now changed every two hours, but the
cumber and quicksaDd by its very Ia
ture fills in the place Of that which
was taken out before. An extreme
authority says that it will require five
or six days to dig through. This ends
all hope of the Twenty-Five men i'm
%prisoned, who, it is believed, died
within the first twelve hours from
suffocation. Sixteen English, Irish
and Welsh and thirteen Polanders and
Hungarians are now known to be en-
tombed in the chamber of death.
LATER-A party consisting of sixty
miners connected with the rescuing
force came out of the slope at 3:l5 and
reported that all are hard at work.
They have sent calls in every direction
and every manner possible, but were
unable to elicit any response from the
entombed men. AS to their being still
alive it rests wholly upon conjecture.
Old and reliable miners who under
stand the situation are of the opinion
that the men are surely dead.

CHAPTER VII.

NOTES OF THE PRELIMINARY INQUIRY CON
TINUED).
Paul Marsal, student at law, Intercepted,
gave evidence as follows:
@. You are the intimate friend Of the DC
cused, Raoul Girard2
A. For the last four years we have been
nseparable.
Q. You frequently lived together, and
were doing SO at the tiEe of this murder?
A. That is so.
@. You We're accustomed to discuss your
private affairs quite freely together9
A. With perfect freedom.
Q. You were aware that your friend Girard
had an uncle in PariS-Joseph Meissner, the
moneylender2
A. l was aware that Girard had an uncle
in Paris, but l did not know his name, or in
Iced anything about him, except that he was
rich and misery. We never talked of him;
the subject was distasteful to Girard, and /
avoided it.
Q. On the night of Monday, the oath, you
were along with Girard at the Cafe de la
Sourceg
A. Yes.
@. What was the subject of your onv
sation there2
A. We talked, among other matters, Of our
present want of means and the difficulty of
raising money.
@. Was the name of Girard's uncle men
toned in tbs course of that conversational
A. No.
.. Was any @allusion made to him that
evening!
A. Yes; 1 suggested that perhaps this rich
uncle of Girard's might lend him some
money.
Q. How was that suggestion received by
Girardl
A. He said that it was quite useless to look
for anything from that quarter.
O. Did Girard, in your hearing, express
anv feeling Of ill-wil toward his uncle?
A. He expressed his strong disgust OF the
old mans avarice.
0. Did he give utterance to any word or
words expressing personal hatred-enmity?
A. It was impossible for Raoul to have a
friendly feeling toward his uncle, after the
treatment he had received from him.
O. That is a negative statement. Did he
express in words what you cali an absence of
friendly feeling?-did he threaten his unclel
A. Certainly not.
o. Did he apply to his uncle any epithet
that might be called unfriendlyl
A. Given after a pause l remember that
he called his uncle a "cur;;" an epithet, /
thought, well chosen.
O. 1t is not your opinion, but Girards
words to you that l wish to ascertain. Was
his expression Of dislike confined to the use Of
this word ecurr'-Did nothing more pass be.

SAM JONES thinks his preaching falls

members of the church. They will 60

YOUR KIDNEYS.
HERE'S A CASE.

For six long dreary years l have been a great
sufferer from a complaint OF my kidney, which
failed to be cured by physicians or advertised
remedies.
Ibegan to feel l could never secure relief, as l
had spent two hundred Ind fifty dollars without
success.
The disease was so excruciating that 1t often
prevented me from performing my daily duty.
l was adv sed to try the efficacy ofB. B. B., and
one single bottle, costing 81 gave me more re-
lief than all the combined treatment l had ever
received. Its action on the kidneys is simply
wonderful. and any one who needs areal, speedy
and harmless kidney medicine should not hes
tate to give b. b. b. a trial. One bottle Will
convince any one.
