Cannibalism by Intombcd Miners.

Excavations in the Chancelade quar-
ries, where it will be remembered q
landslip occurred last October, burying
q number of workmen, have been car
ried on ever since for the purpose of UNI
earthing the bodies. For many days
after the slip was believed TO have
smothered the workers smoke was seen
to issue from the ruins. Soldiers and
quarrymen, directed by party of en-
gineers, worked day and night in the
hope of taking the men out alive. Ever
since the work has proceeded, but of
late the endeavors were not so vigor-
ously piled. The diggers have now
reached the actual spot where the men
were engaged at the time Of the acct
dent, and on penetrating into gallery
cut in the stone the explorers discovered
the body of a young man lying on the
ground. Photographs taken of the posi-
ton show that dreadful state OF affairs
must have come about when the men
uncrushed found themselves intombed.
1t appears undoubted that some of the
men tried to prolong their lives by kill
ing and eating their companions in
misfortune. A few solitary arms and
limbs have been picked up in their
prison, and everything points TO the
fact that cannibalism was resorted to.
The young man whose body was I'M
mutilated seems TO have survived the
others and TO have died of hunger

wish TO call attention to the marriage of
Mr.. Henry Owen-Mr Upham's hired man
to Miss Lille Goss, who works at Johnny
Marshall's. AS such events seem to be the
general order in other parts of the county,
we feel that this wedding in Porter should
not be overlooked. Such things are Of rare
occurrence here.

The popular impression as to the
duration of the lightning flash is that
it is practically instantaneous. From
the experiments of Wheatstone and
others with the rotating disk, the dura-
ton of the flashes measured would vary
apparently from the 1000 tothe 10000
of q second. Others estimate the dura-
ton of the flash as even shorter than
these figures.
