Another Mining Horror.

WHEELING, w. Va, January 22.-Ad-
ditional particulars of yesterdays coal
mine explosion at Newburg have been
received. From present appearances at
least 80 lives, and in all probability, 10
more have been sacrificed, many Of the
dead being most respected citizens. AT
the hour named, while the day shift of
miners were at work in the mine, which
is located near the outskirts of town,
the air was suddenly rent with a most
tremendous explosion from the deep
shaft of the colliery. A dense cloud OF
mingled smoke and vapor arose 200 feet
in the air. A rush was at once made for
the mouth of the mine. In a moment
hundreds Of citizens had congregated
about the shaft, their faces filled with
CONSERVATION and alarm. The sound
was heard 10 miles away.
1t is now supposed that 81 men were
imprisoned and the prevailing opinion
is that all are dead, although few min
ers express a hope that some OF them
may have escaped the effects of the eX-
plosion. The slope where the accident
occurred is but two years old, and is
about a mile from other outlets to tho
mine. For 25 years the company has
averaged $50 tons of coal per day, and
it was the principal industry OF this
place, afiording employment to about 25C
men,

EMI-CENTENNIAL.
Names Of the Surviving Veterans in
Bexar County.

The question OF a seml-centennial cele-
bration of the fall of the A lamO has been
under discussion. but the extreme luke
warmness of those who should take the
most interest has Tretty much discour-
aged all efforts in that direction, and re-
pressed what little patriotic enthusiasm
that has dared to manifest itself. Here,
on the scene of the heroic deeds of men
whose names will last so long as vRlOr-
Gus deeds are yenGrated, there is little
or no recognition of the day on which
they offered up their lives on the altar
OF liberty and won n nation. cifty
years will have passed on the 9th day OF
next March since that event and not one
public demonstration has yet common
Grated this day. To willing slaves 1t lie
useless to talk of freedom, so to men
with no gratitude and enthusiasm II 10
no use to talk of patriotism. But very
few of the veterans of the Texas rebel
lion are yet with the living, and the
number in this county will not reach II
score. They are all old and honorable
men. and a public demonstration CT
recognition of their services would do
honor to those who gave it. OF the sur
vivOrs of the Texas army of indepen-
denCe, only Captain William MOMaster.
Edward Miles, Ben Thomas, William
Caruthers, +. II. TimmOney, Nat Nit
Chell and Sam MCCulloch are the Amer
leans now living in this city and county,
and MateO CasillRs, Jesus Comes and
YgnaCio Espinosa are the MeXiCans who
took part with the Americans in
the siege of San Antonio, or siege of
Bexar. as it is called in history, under
Ben Milan in December, 1895. Among
the Santa Fe prisoners are Nicolas Lad
ner and John T.. Howard. John Twohig
was taken prisoner by General VOL in
his capture of this city, taken to PerOte,
State of Vera Cruz, where Mr.. TwOhig
dug through thick wall and made his
escape, reaching San Antonio through q
thousand dangers and hardships. w. A.
Wallace, better known as big Foot"
whose thrilling deeds of frontier life are
the delight of the lovers of stories of rO-
nance and Indian wars, is yet living in
Medina County. Besides these, the
prominent actors in the war of Texas in
dependence are rapidly, very rapidly,
passing away. There is but one of the
| signers of the declaration of independ-
enCe left, 5. w. BlOunt. living in San
| Augustine, Texas. The declaration Of
independence was signed on March 2,
1896, but the patriots in the Alamo knew
nothing of it, they having been besieged
since February %, and they were yet
lighting for the Mexican Constitution
OF 1924, and against the usurpation of
Santa Anna. The flag that floated to the
breeze over the Alamo until the last de-
fender was dead had the simple figures
'lS24' on the white stripe Of the red +,
white and green.
There are yet but two survivors of the
| GOliad massacre, William l. Hunter,
living in GOliad, and John c. Duval, now
! living in this city with Captain Richards.
In very few years not one Of these men
will be living, and then, perhaps, some
| expression of gratitude may be attempt
| feelings.

CARRIERS.
The Latest Craze Which Has Struck
Washington.

"DO you know the very latest thing in
our society" inquired a married lady of
Murray" OF the indianapolis News the
other day, as she sighted two or three
young ladies seated in the gallery set
apart for the families of the members.
NO" said |, "if there are new Crimps |
should like to know what they are"
We'll, | don't know whether | ought to
tell you or not. You men are so cynical
about these things. Ii is English you
know, and Is certainly new TO me. Do
you see that pretty blonde over there in
the members gallery" | looked across
in the direction she indicated, and saw
several pretty blondes, and said so, but
she finally designated the particular
one meant. We'll" said |, "what
is the new racket" at is gar
ters," said she. alt is quite
new thing in carriers and when say it
Is English mean it was brought over
by one of the young ladies attached to
foreign legation. It struck Washington
on New Years Day so far as | can
learn. OF course, you won't be shocked
to know that young ladies, as well as
married people, wear carriers. | know
you won't, because gentlemen pretty
generally wear them, understand, also.
The English minister wears one outside
his pantalOOns on one leg, yOu know.
This is neat concern In colOrs, to suit
the fancy of wearer. and is worn above
the left knee. 1t is put on on New
Years Day and worn continuously, on
the theory that the wearer will be mar
ried before the year is out. If she takes
1t of 1t breaks her luck. Now, that young
lady oyer there has very pretty, neat
yellow garter of fine wool, and she has
distributed a number of various colors
among her female acquaintance. Oh,
it is quite a new thing" said my inform
ant. "YOu need not laugh; there is no
telling how many young ladies in Wash
ingtOn have this craze or how many are
going about with n yellow, blue or red
wooden garter strapped to their left
limbs" But why left ?" | inquired.
"Ihat do not know, unless it Is because
it is nearest the heart" was the re-
spouse. IAN | led to infer that the
young lady wears her stockings, also, I'M
til she meets the fatal charmer?" "Oh,
not at all. It's only the garter, you
know" Have you any well-autht rti-
Gated case where the charm has worked
successfully" mo, not yet" she
laughingly replied. but | promise to
let you know the first case which comes
under my observation.

The Ohio Senate.

COLUMBUS, January 22.-The Republi-
can portion of the Senate adjourned to
tomorrow morning, instead of taking a
recess. There are virtually two Senates
at the present time, each contending for
authority. There is great deal OF
speculation as to what will be the fur
Their proceedings. The opposing sides
have been in caucus during the after
noon, but the programme of proceedings
on the part of either has not been made
public. Republicans will meet to-mOr-
row morning, but will not have work
ing majority. About all the Democrats
left for their homes tonight, and It is
doubtful if any of them will respond in
the morning. 1t is suggested that about
the only course to be pursued is TO adj
journ from day to day and compel the
attendance of members. 1t would be
impossible to proceed to consideration
of contest cases in open Senate, unless
the Lieutenant Governor should hold
that in the consideration of these cases,
the seventeen Republican members
constitute a majority against the 20
Democrats, including the Hamilton
county members.

Baby Kissing.

Don't You Dare to Kiss My Baby" is
the title of the latest piece of alleged
original poetry that has started on its
rounds. The bard sets forth in emphat.
ic language the dangers of the practice
of baby kissing. The communication of
contagious disease by kissing, so often
the subject of warnings against farewell
kisses of the dead, is the climax of the
poem. The young and tender years Of
babies make them peculiarly liable to
danger from diseases which may be
transmitted by kissing. lffond mothers
will only take the hint and refuse to let
people kiss their babies unless they have
q special right to do so, instead of urging
people to kiss them, it would be great
relief to Presidents and candidates for
other offices, all of whom expect to be
Presidents.-LPh Philadelphia Times.

This is what the correspondent Of the
Sporting and Theatrical Journal says Of
of the Gran Circo Orrin" in Mexico:
The best move the Orrins can make is
sing the popular ballad, 'Adios a Mex
ico,' for here they have played out.
People do not believe in them any more;
they have heard too many complaints
by good artists, who are gentlemen and
ladies, of their treatment. 1t is posi-
BILE that the Orrins may stay out the full
season, but we doubt 1t, for they are
running behind terribly, and this so
early in the season. The artists COM
plain that the dressing rooms are in
open air and in the same space with the
horses, which is not alone very I'M
healthy, but even dangerous in this high
altitude"
