The Calamity At Nanticoke.

It Is now, Of course, q certainty that all the
imprisoned miners at Nanticoke are dead. The
most experienced miners in the valley say that
when black damp and gas made their appear
ance it was not long before the men were
checked to death. While it is hoped that the
bodies may be recovered in two weeks, it is
thought that they are entombed forever, not
withstanding the company is doing all in its
power to recover the bodies. Work had to be
stopped in the Ross vein, both at Nanticoke and
Morgantown, cutting off a payroll of Sc, 900 a
day. ALI the other works of the Susquehanna
Coal Company were put in operation last week.
Michael Sarver, an aged man, was one of the
last of the relief party to stop work. He has
two sons entOmbed in the mines When it was
decided that the imprisoned miners could not
be alive, the old man said:
Il have two as fine sons as ever father had
lying down there" he said "and as good a
daughter as man could wish lying dead at
home. But it is the will of God, and say His
will be DONE"
The following is list of the % men in the
mine: Oliver Kivler, William Kivler, Frank
Kivler. Abram Lewis, Andrew Lewe, Vincent

A Reign of Terror.

During the past week, Austin, Tex, has
been the scene of a number of most mysterious
tragedies, and so far all efforts to find the per-
petrators have proved unavailing. Citizens
have been found murdered in their houses,
yards, and in some instances on the street. On
the Goth new horror was brought to light, in
the shape of the body of little girl named
Claude Eanes, which was discovered in its
mothers back yard The child had evidently
been buried, but the hogs had unearthed the
remains, which they had partly devoured.
Last August Hugh Eanes, the father, mysteri-
ously disappeared. About the time of Eanes's
death Charles Courtney became boarder in
the family, which comprised Mrs. Eanes and
two children-Dollie aged II, and Claude.
The unnatural mother tried to give the chill
dren away, pleading poverty. A couple of
weeks ago she told her neighbors that she had
given Dolie to a ool-teacher down the river.
On Monday night of last week Mrs. Eanes
visited neighboring farm and asked the privi-
lege depending the n ght. She said she had also
given Claude away to a family in Lampasas,
and Courtney being absent she was afraid to
sleep in the house alone. The next morning
the woman departed for Austin, saying she had
received telegram from Illinois asking her to
attend the funeral of relative, who had just
died and left her a legacy.
The Chief of Police received telegram from
San Antonio last night stating that Mrs. Eanes
had been arrested i'll San Antonio. The City
Council and the Citizens Committee on Safety
both held prolonged sessions on the 9th, with
closed doors, considering means for unearthing
the perpetrators of the series of crimes and for
preventing the summary execution of the GRIM
inals when apprehended. 1t is believed that
the Committee on Safety has discovered an i'm
portant clew. Several thousand dollars have
been subscribed in Austin to aid in ferreting
out the assaSSinS

tiVeS.

The present Speaker of the United States
House of Representatives, Hon. John G. Car
Isle, of Kentucky, is slender gentleman, five
feet eleven inches in hight, with pale COM
plexion and clear-cut features, and an express
sion denoting unusual gentleness, while unmis-
takably intellectual to degree which never
fails to attract attention and to cause him to
be singled out among a crowd of men, though
being an essentially modest man he never vol
unfairly takes conspicuous place. He was 30
years old last September and has been promi-
nent lawyer in Kentucky since he was %. He
was opposed to secession and on the side of the
Union throughout the war of the rebellion.
His home is in Covington, KY, near which
town he was born, and he has never lived out
of that nelghborhood. He taught school there
before he began to practice law, studying for
the latter profession with John W. Stevenson,
of Kentucky, who has since been in the United
States Senate, and whose father was four times
successfully elected Speaker of the United
States House of Representatives, serving from
1927 until he resigned in 1884.
Mr.. Carlisle was admitted to the bar in 1858;
he has served several times in the Kentucky
Legislature and was Lieut.. Governor of the
State from 1871 to 1876 He has been elected
to five successive Congresses, his first term be-
ginning with the extra session of Oct. Is, 1877,
and from the first was singled out as a rising
man.

The leading citizens of Silver City, N. NJ,
held meeting on the Odd to devise means of
prosecuting war of determination against the
murderous Apaches 1t was at first thought
that the Government would purchase 40 or so
bloodhounds to track the Indians, both Gems.
Crook and Bradley favoring the proposition as
the only really available means of pursuing
the red butchers. Word was received from
Santa Fe that the Army officers were willing to
recommend the employment of bloodhounds,
but thought it would be several months before
the War Department would act upon their rec
concentrations. Upon learning this the citi-
zens called the meeting and determined to raise
money by subscription for the purchase of a
pack of bloodhounds and for again equipping
and putting local militia in the field. Wealthy
ranchmen in attendance pledged over So, 900 for
the purchase of bloodhounds 1t was also de-
termined to raise picked company of 300 ex-
perienced Indian fighters, from the several dis
tricts in the Territory, who will Immediately

Confession of n Hideous Murder.

William Sheehan was convicted at Dublin on
the 10th of the murder of his mother, his
brother, Thomas, and his sister, Mary, in
October, 1877. He made full confession OF
the crime and says he was led to commit the
murders by the persistency of his mother in
demanding 1900 dowry from Farmer Browne
before she would consent to her son (the pris-
oner) marrying Miss Browne. Farmer Browne
was willing to give his daughter dowry of
$40, but Mrs Sheehan refused the offer. Will
liam then murdered his mother, brother and
sister, and threw their bodies into an old well.
He told the people that he had given his
mother $500 out of his marriage portion, and
that the three missing ones had gone away to
seek another place of residence. In short
time William married Miss Browne. He took
possession of the farm and remained there about
two years, when he was evicted for non-pay-
mcnt of rent. He then left for Australia. After
his departure the three bodies were discovered,
and he was arrested and brought back to Ire
land for trial.

Murdered In Her Lonely Home.

Mrs. Arlington, widow so years of age, re-
siding alone in the town Of Foxboro, Mass,
was the victim of horrible murder ON Friday
night last On Saturday morning neighbor
called at the house and receiving no answer to
several knocks, lifted the latch and entered.
On the kitchen floor lay the old lady's dead
body, with blood oozing from wounds on the
face and neck. The room was in good order.
Everything was apparently in its place save
the rocking chair. The chair was upset and
was bloody. A window in the room was I'M
locked and the sash was not firmly closed,
showing evidence, it is thought, that the muir
derer had entered and escaped from that side.
Beyond this nothing is known. The motive
for the crime is mystery as Mrs. Arlington

eral favorite in the village. She had two
brothers, one living in Hyde Park, Mass, and

Speaker Carlisle's nomination by acclama-
ton for that office in the caucus of Democratic
Members of the House of Representatives, on
Dec. 5, without any opposition whatever, is said
by those who are experienced in such matters
to have been without precedent in the elections
for Speaker of that House within the memory
of the present generation.
Many Republican Members of the last Congress
who are in the present one have said that il
1t were not question of party organization
they would prefer to cast their votes for Mr..
Carlisle for Speaker to any one else, because of
his perfect fairness to their side Of the House
during the last Congress. He has been as
popular with Republicans from the first of his
service in the House as with his own party,
and Senator (then Representative Frye, of
Maine, paid him the high compliment on one of
the last days of his (Mr. Frye's) service in the
House Of calling him "the jewel of the Demo-
cratic party" The debate which was the
occasion of this tribute occurred on March /,
1881, and was remarkable from the fact that it
was between Representatives Keifer (of Ohio
and Carlisle, who were the two next successive
Speakers of the House, Mr.. Keifer being
elected the following Autumn by the Republi-
cans who had majority in the House of Rep
resentatives during the 47th Congress, from
1881 to 1883. 1t was Mr.. Keifer too, who, just
four years from the time the debate between
him and Mr.. Carlisle occurred, to which allusion

fore the House adjourned ON the 4th of last
March to give q vote of thanks to Speaker
Carlisle for his ability and fairness as pre-
siding officer, and Mr.. Kefer asked futher that
it be taken by rising vote, as more marked
compliment to the Speaker, which was done,
and every man in the House stood up.
Speaker Carlisle's wife is very tall lady, with
q finely proportional figure and most attrac-
tive face. She has light hair and a rosy COM
plexion and winning manners. She dresses
very richly and in most excellent taste. She
and her husband have known each other from
youth and were married when he was 81, he
being a special favorite of her father, the late
Mr.. Goodson, of Covington, KY, gentleman
noted for his generosity and hospitality.
Henry Clay is, of course, the only man who
was ever elected Speaker of our National House
of Representatives six times, holding that of
flee in five consecutive Congresses, and twice
resigning it, and being elected for the sixth
time after an interval of three years following
his resignation of the office in 1920. He hav-
ing been elected so often, Kentucky, although
she has had but four different ones of her
citizens to fill the office of Speaker, has now
entered on her 18th term of that office, Mr.. Car
isles second election being the 18th time
Kentuckian has been elected to it.

Buried in a CaSk of Rum.

The death in Paris few weeks ago of Mrs
Walter L. Newberry, calls TO mind a rather
curious incident connected with the death OF
her husband nearly 20 years ago. In Novem-
Der, 1867, Mr.. Newberry sailed for Havre to
join his family, and died at sea. A sensational
story is now going the rounds to the effect that
Mr.. Newberry's body was preserved in cask
of Medford rum, carried to Havre, and taken
back to Chicago in the cask of rum and buried
in the cask in Graceland Cemetery. The late
Mr.. E. /. Tinkham, formerly prominent citi-
zen of Chicago, is said to have been one of the
participants in the affair, and according to the
story Mr.. Newberry's body still lies in the rum
cask in the cemetery. Mrs. Newberry leaves
an immense fortune, 100000 of which, by
her husbands will, goes to the establishment
Of public library in Chicago.
