Stealing q Brick House.

A remarkable robbery was report
ed to the mayors office. at Louisville
Ky, Oh Saturday, by Mrs. Ross, a
well to-do lady, aged so years, who
lives in the country. She said that
she was the owner of a lot at Fif-
teenth and Prentice streets. upon
which in April last there was a sub
stantial two story brick house of
Ell yht rooms. That month the ten
ant occupying the house was elected
for non. payment of rent and the
property was not again rented Be-
ing well advanced in years, and liv-
ing in the country, she had not visit
ed her property since March. The
house was then all right. A few
days ago a man called on her and Of
fered her IS for what brick remain
ed on the lot. Mrs. Ross went there
to investigate. To her great conster-
nation she discovered, on visiting
the premises, that only small pile
OF bricks remained of the large house
she bad owned. the building having
been carried away, brick by brick.
until almost the last vestige was
gone. As yet there is no clue to
this unprecedented robbery.

To the Rescue.

Work is still going on for the res
cue of the entombed Nanticoke min
ers. A careful survey OF the surface
over where the unfortunate men are
supposed to be, with the object of
sinking a hole has been made. 1t
has been decided to sink a six inch
bore-hole at once from the surface
down to breast near the face of the
gangway, so that if even one man
was yet alive they might thus afford
him relief This action is being car
ried out by the company to satisfy
relatives and friends, who make this
demand on the supposition that
some of the imprisoned men must
be living. There are two mules miss
ing, and if the men had air there NAV
be a CLEAN of hope for one or more
of them. and by the putting down of
the bore hole food could be furnish
ed them until the relief party should
have worked its way to the fatal spot.
The depth from the surface at the
point where the hole was started last
Thursday, is two hundred and eigh
ty-four feet 1t will take from twelve
to twenty days to sink the hole
with a diamond drill. Many exper-
fenced miners are fully of the opin.
ion that the men have been dead for
long time, but they believe that the
company should do anything reason
able that is asked by the relatives of
the men, who are anxiously awaiting
the result.

three feet. This afternoon as the
four o'clock shift was waiting to go
on at the Aspen Mine, the men heard
a noise, and looking up saw a snow
slide coming down Aspen Mountain.
They made rush for the dump, and
got under it, thus saving their lives.
Tie slide struck the shaft and engine
houses, completely demolishing them
and killing John Jones, mine carpen-
ter.
The engine and boiler were badly
damaged. The engineer was thrown
under the boiler, which was buried
under ten feet of snow. He was af-
terwards recovered alive. John Leon
ard, one of the owners of the Como
mara Mine, and several other men
were near the shaft house but escap
ed with only few bruises. At five
O'Clock the fire bell announced the
occurrence of another slide, this time
at Washington Mountain. Investi.
CATION showed that two drivers, with
their mules and wagons, had been
buried under fifteen feet of snow
n ar the Acquisition Mine. Seven
men who started from here this morn
ing for Maroon Pass to return at
noon, have not since been heard from.
1t is supposed that they were buried
under a third slide, reported to have
occurred in the pass about noon.
There was another slide near Camp
Bird Mine, but no damage is report
ed. All the avalanches followed in
the track of the one three years ago
that killed five men at Vallejo Mine.

thirty seven men are imprisoned, and
the prevailing opinion is that all are
dead, although few miners express
the hope that some cf them may have
escaped the effects of the explosion
and have been able to reach a place
free from that fatal black damp which
always follows an explosion of this
kind.
The shaft at which the explosion
occurred was sunk about two years
ago and has reached depth of three
hundred and fifty feet. From the
base of the shaft the main heading
runs out about half a mile, the rooms
diverging from either side. The theo-
ry as TO the cause of the cause of the
explosion is that the fire damp had
accumulated IN one of the rooms and
was accidently ignited by miners
lamp. By Sunday almost all the
bodies had been taken out of the
mines, all were dead

half unconscious and groaning.
When they were taken out into the
air they both became unconscious.
The contents of the burning COM
partment were two hundred sacks of
potatoes, hundreds of bales of paper
and jute, hemp, burlaps, bagging,
rags and towelling. The smoke pro-
duced by this combination sickened
even those who breathed little of it.
Every mile nearer home, however,
gave renewed courage, although it
was known that the fire was constant
ly making progress. Not a man on
board removed his clothing during
the ten days it took to reach this
port. At midnight of Tuesday the
Crystal ploughed up to Quarantine,
and word was sent ashore that she
was on fire. Nothing could be done
at that hour, and there was nothing
for it but to spend another night in
weary watching. At nine O'Clock
yesterday morning the burning vess
ell was anchored off Bedloe's Island,
and before two hours bad passed the
Patrol and the fire tug Havemeysr
We're hard at work pouring thick
streams of water into her hold.
When the matches were first taken
off the fire burst into sudden fury,
sending the flames high up into the
Air, and setting fire to the ropes and
rigging Out in mid-ocean that
would have been all very fine for the
fire fiend, but the fire fiend happen
ed Just then to be in the midst of
very energetic civilization, and he
got very little satisfaction. The gen
tlenen trained to fight the fend in
New York harbor worked as they al
ways do, and they soon drowned him
out, although when the flames first
burst forth it was feared that it might
be necessary to scuttle the ship At
noon the fire was under control, and
at four o'clock in the afternoon light
els were being rapidly loaded with
the singed bales of goods. The to-
tai damage will probably not amount
to more than $4,000.

Hanged TO q Tree.

VNcENNEs, January Is, 'S6.-Holly
Epps, the murderer of Farmer Dob
son, has expiated his terrible crime
at the hands of Judge Lynch. About
1870 this morning a crowd of mask
ed men, numbering from twenty to
thirty, carrying sledge- hammers and
various other implements, were seen
marching through the suburbs of the
city down Sixth street towards the
Jail. They marched steadily and 81
lently to the Court House yard.
Here they saw two policemen. The
leader of the gang approached those
officials and peremptorily ordered
them to go home. The policemen
disappeared as if by magic Station
ing masked sentinels at each corner
of the Jail yard, the greater part of
the gang entered the yard and walk
ed stealthily up towards the portico
of the Sheriff-s residence. The lynch
ers stood back while the leader
knocked again and again, but receiv
ed no response. Finally, however,
with louder rapping and fereer call
ing, Sheriff Seddlemyer WIS aroused
and, coming to the door, called out
from within: "Who's theref' ave
want you to open the door and let
us in. We are friends and want to
get in. We want to see you,' an
swered the leader in calm and steady
tones. Il cant let you in tonight,
gentlemen" decidedly answered the
Sheriff. ''But we must get in" said
the leader; I'VE propose to have the
black carcass of the niger who mur-
dered poor old Farmer Dobson up
in Greene county, and if You won't
let us in we will get in anyhow.
"You can't come in here, spoke
the Sheriff. determinedly, land if
you try to break in you will violate
the law and lay yourselves liable to
criminal prosecution.
"Well, here goes- then, ,.atlast de
cided the leader, and at these words
''bang!" went a great sledge hammer
against the pine door. In two or
three hard hits the door was smash
ed to splinters and literally knocked
off its hinges Entering the hallway
the lynching party struck light,
rushed into parlor, grabbed Sheriff
Seddiemeyer and pushed him into
an adjoining room, slammed the door
in his face and gruffiy ordered him
to keep quiet and stay in his room.
The lynchers made for the huge iron
doors and commenced their work of
battering them down.
This was the most difficult part
and half an hour elapsed before they
succeeded in gaining entrance. They
entered the enclosure, soon got into
Epps' cell and unceremoniously jerk
ed him from his bed. Epps yelled
and howled like a maniac at first
sight Of the strong men who had
come to take his life, but a blow in
the mouth silenced him. 1t was but
the work of q moment to drag him
outside and he was soon hanging
from the limb of a tree in the yard,
the rope around his neck sitting his
czies as he was hurled into eternity
De died in few minutes after being
strung up
