CONTINUING THE SEARCH.

The Long and Thus Far Fruit1ess Search
for the Bodies of the Nanticoke Victims
Still Being Prosecuted.
NANTICoKE, Pa, Feb. 27.-The work of
sinking the bore hole in the Inflated mine
of the Susquehanna Coal Company at
Nanticoke, where are entombed the bod
les of twenty-six men and boys, the result
of the terrible disaster of ten weeks ago,
has been completed, the drill reaching
the workings at depth of two hundred
and fifty feet. When the drill pierced
into the mine it fell with a sudden thud
the drop being noticed by the drillers.
This indicates that portions of the mine
were not filled by the debris
and also that the quicksand must have
clogged while running in the fifth coun-
ter. No danger is feared by the men en-
ployed in clearing the main gangway and
they will push forward steadily in the
work of reaching the bodies until they
find it absolutely unsafe to work there
longer. They are now 27O feet from the
turn in the roadway leading into that por-
ton of the mine where the men are, and
about seven hundred feet from the base
of the cave in.

AFTER SCALPS.

Captain Chase, OF Maine Takes a Trip to
Washington With Blood In His Eye, De-
claring He Does Not Propose to be Made
Scape-Goat to Shield Others Short
comings.
NEW YORK, Feb. PA Portland (Me.)
special says: Captain Chase, the col
lector of internal revenue, has started
for Washington again. This is not be-
cause he had any hope of securing
confirmation, but because he has
no hope. He has received informa-
ton which leaves no doubt that
he will be rejected by the Senate
whenever vote is reached, and his mo-
tive in going to the capital, under the
circumstances, is to make trouble for his
enemies in both parties. Captain Chase
has always declared that he would not
quietly suffer being made a scape-goat for
the alleged iniquities of the count-out,
and has freely intimated that he has in his
possession much interesting correspond
ence, which would show that some
gentlemen, who, deep in the mire as he
was in the mud, are playing the hypocrite
while protesting their innocence of re-
sponsibility. He has also intimated that
he has had, at times, correspondence with
some of the Republican leaders that
HouIu oe highly Interesting IL puOllSHeu.
1t is understood that s'The Tabulator' has
taken some selected correspondence
to Washington with him, which he
thinks will make gentlemen in power
open their eyes wide when they read it,
and he is fully persuaded that in his case
it is no longer virtue to be patient. He
does not propose to go down with no 9TH
er company than his old chum, Pillsbury.
When or what way the walls will be un-
corked and the books opened, is not

ried to man named McDougal. She
next married a man named Robbens and
lived with him but one day, when he left
for Palestine, Tex, He telegraphed her
to come there. She obeyed, and after
ward married a man named Smith, who
