A FORTUNE IN PROSPECT Several citi'
zens of our town, the Mcssrs. Waesche, arc
interested in the bill lately passed Congress,
for the relief of the French Spolia,ion Claim
ants. They are the direct descendants of one
Repold, Baltinorean whose vessels were
destroyed by French cruisers and for which
France paid the money to this government
in 1902 We have no positive information
as to the amount due the parties in question:
but have been informed that the amount due
the original claimant, Rcpold, was about
100000 and of which the eight Waesche
brothers will inherit onc-half Should the
government, allow interest even at 3 ord per
cent, the original amount will be multiplied
two VI three times. The grand total Of the
Baltimore claims is about $250O,OO0. Three
of the Mcssrs. Wnesche reside in this town,
one near Tancytown, one in Westminster
one in Rockville and two in Virginia.

RENTs-Rents have not fallen with other
prices here, but it is not difficult to account
for it. Very little property, either public or
private that is for rent here now, has been
built since the fall in prices and owners look
back to the cost of their property and wish
10 see certain return upon their investment
This is most natural desire and as rents
here arc not reall, high and never have
heen, it does not even now prove a great
hardship to the renter to pay the rates, al
though rents might he expected to take the
same course that other commodities and
rates experience.

A Mine Disaster.

SHENANDOAH, Pa, April 6.-Abou.
one O'Clock this afternoon one of the
gangways of the Cuyler colliery at
Raven run, operated by S. NJ. Hea-
ton & Co., caved in without warning
entombing ten miners who were at
work inside. The caye-in occurred
about four hundred feet from the
bottom of the slope, and was caused
by a sudden crushing of the timbers
The names of the ten men entomb-
ed are Frank Mclaughlin, William
Anderson, John Anderson, Henry
Nervine, Benjamin Maurer, Nicho-
las Purcell, Barney Smith, Michael
Harrity, Daniel Kenney and John
Cavanaugh. There is no means of
telling whether the imprisoned min
ers are dead or alive. Messrs. Hea-
ton & Co., are doing everything
possible to rescue the men, but the
danger of approaching the break
makes it difficult to do anything to
that end and also prevents the hun
dreds of men that have gathered at
the scene from going to work to res
cue the imprisoned miners. The
miners who are acquainted with the
place have little or no hope of those
imprisoned being rescued alive. The
scene at the mouth of the slope is
heartrending in the extreme. The
unfortunate miners are all men of
families, and the appealing cries of
their wives and children fill the air
in the vicinity of the fatal mine.

A "Reminiscences.

BALTIMORE, Md, April 7.--Colonel
Charles Marshall, Chief of General
Lees Staff, speaking of the surren-
der at Appomatox and the meeting
of Generals Grant and Lee, says:
"When shown into the room, Gen.
Grant advanced and shook hands
with Gen. Lee. The Federal COM
mander was in undress uniform and
without side arms, said that his
sword was with his baggage, and
because of his desire for reaching
the place for the conference he had
hastened on in undress uniform.
This was the only allusion made to a
sword that was passed at the inter
view. After the terms of surrender
were settled, General Grant explain
ed that he was advised that Gen.
Lees had number of Federal pris-
oners who, like their captors, were
were out of rations. Gen. Sheridan
replied that he could furnish 25,00O
rations. General Grant then in
structed him to send $4,000 rations
to General Lees commissary. After
the interview General Lee asked
for Gen. Williams. and thanked
that officer for kindness shown to
his son, General Curtis Lee, who
had been captured several DAYS be-
fore. When General Lee and Col
Marshall rode off. the Federal Off
GERS faced the front porch" Colonel
Marshall is not sure that General
Grant was among them, for his
thoughts were busy with other mat.
tiers at the time.

Both Sides Preparing.

LONDON, April 10.-The officials
at Woolwich arsenal have been sum-
moned to the War Office to attend a
conference upon the question OF the
dispatch of war material to India.
The Sir William Armstrong Gun
Manufacturing Company have re-
ceived orders from the Government
for the immediate construction of90
field guns. The employees in this
company's establishment are already
working on double time to fill Gov
ernment orders. Sixty thousand men
from the army reserves and the
whole militia will be called out.
The naval reserves will be used for
home defense.
Russian agents in London have
visited the offices of number of
steamship companies and made
heavy bids for the purchase of their
fast going vessels.
The extraordinary offers for the
steamers aroused the suspicious OF
the officers of the companies, who
upon inquiry became convinced
that if the vessels were sold they
would be used by the Russian Gov
ernment for war purposes, and so
reported the facts to the British ad-
miralty.

Judge Packers Daughter Married.

BETHLEHEM, Pa. April 8.-The
announcement was made to-day of
the marriage, very privately, at
Mauch Chunk yesterday afternoon,
of Miss Mary Packer, the only sur
viving child of the late Judge Asa
Packer, protector of the Lehigh VAL

ny took place at the brides palatial
residence. The happy couple pass

south. The event had been antici

of the bride and groom, Mrs. Cum

Tur news from Europe Is exceed

THE news from Europe is exceed
ingly war-,ike and there appears to
be scarce doubt but what England
and Russia viii speedily come to
blows. Both Nations are straining
every nerve to prepare their armies
and navies for the encounter, and
both seem resolved upon the fray.
The Russian attack on the Afghan
troops occupying the disputed ter
ritory, has precipitated matters, and
large bodies of soldiers are being
msssed, by both England and Rus
sia, along the territorial line in dis
pute. If war does come, it will not
be confined to the Asiatic provinces
of these two countries, but it will
be waged wherever either of the
beligerents can strike the other a
blow. Both nations are reported to
be in the markets of the world, at
tempting to purchase fast steam
ships with which to scour the seas
and make reprisals. The prepara-
tions making are, by long odds, the
greatest known to the European
world during the present generation,
and if the conflict is entered upon,
it will be hard and bitter one, and
will, in all probability, involve 9TH
er of the European nations.
