A FRIGHTFUL DEED.
One Of the Sad Results Of the Kansas
Mine Horror.

Mine Horror.
AS the cage came up from the fatal
mine shaft, at Pittsburg, Kansas, on
Sunday morning.; shrek was heard,
and Marie Berthune, widow of Louis
Berthune, fell senseess as she recog-
nized the mangled remains OF her hus-
band. Her swoon was of long duration,
and when she recovered she had a
dazed look and refused to speak or
notice any one. Her constant, vacant
stare showed that reason had gone,
but as she evidenced no disposition to
become violent but little attention
was paid to her, and all day long she
sat at her door regardless OF the cries
of her five children, the youngest Il
babe five months old.
Late on Sunday evening she appar-
ently aroused from her stupor and
took her chi .dren 10 the imprOvised
morgue where lay the body OF her
husband. She led each child up to the
CHASTITY corpse aud, still With the aw-
full silence which had marked her
from the beginning of her bereave-
ment, led them away to the little hut
which had sheltered them in the past.
No attention was paid to her by
those who " ere toe busy with the dead
and dying, but about midnight cry
of fire from the village of Fronteniac
gathered a crowd of workers from the
mine to the streets. 1t was seen that
the Bethune cabin was in flames, and
willing hands were soon at work to
save the inmates. The Oldest child, q
girl of years, succeeded in escaping
the fire which devoured the rest of the
family.
She said her mother sent each OF the
children to bed with kiss, and then
sat down near the stove. The girl
could not sleep, and lay watching her
mother, who, after sitting some time,
took a can of coal oil and poured IT
over her self and the bedclothes and
children. The grief-stricken woman
then set fire 10 some paper and scat
tered it ABOUT the room, and soon the
whole place was in flames.
The daughter struggled short time
with her mother in an endeayor to
get away, and the burning oil on her
mother caused such an intense neat
that she soon relaxed her grasp. Fin
ally the girl managed to get out of the
door, where she fell Exhausted AMI
frightfully burned. The cabin burned ,
anu soon nothing wa left nut the dy-
ing embers, from which was raked
the charred bodies OF the insane
mother and her four children.

HE PAID HIS BET,
And Blaolked Boots all the Afternoon.
TCarsOn Anneal I

carson Appeal
Mr.. Heidinger, the drug clerk of
Chedic's drug store, made a bet with
Mr.. Trincano, that in the event of
Harrison's election he would black
Republican boots in front ofthe Hole
in the-Wail.
Having lost, and getting it straight
from Major Garrard that West Vir-
ginia was gone along with New YORK,
he faced the music in good shape and
opened his bootblack stand ON the
corner.
He announced that the proceeds
would go to giving the Orphans Home
an extra dinner on Christmas day, and
that the first few shines would be let
to the highest bidder. '1Iow much
for first chance2"
This call brought out dozen men
with bids of So each when Mr.. Robin
son, colored sporting man, captured
the shine a SO so, and paying the
money! amid a howl from the crowd,
stepped up and told the Democrats to
go ahead.
Heidinger spit In his blacking box
and opened the ball IN good shape.
Some one in the crowd said he never
expected To live to see a Democrat
black colored mau's boots. 1t took
him about five minutes TO finish the
job amid cries of "BIack the heels"
breathe on 'em" "Work your arms
faster" etc.
When the darkey's boots were
brought to a nice finish he walked
very gingerly up to the Ormsby House
ana then taking his boots off, put thu m
away for safe keeping. He says he WI I
never walk in them again and keep
them to show people years after Har-
rison is elected for second term.
The next shine was sold for So to
Prof. Krall, and so on down to dol
lar. the gamy bootblack refusing to
take ang customers at less bargains.
At night he had taken in $45 for
the orphans, and turned 1t over to Mr.
Williams of the Home.
The affair was conducted all around
in the best of good humor, and the
orphans will have extra delicacies ON
Christmas.

There is serious international tr0u-
BILE between Peru and the United
States. The circumstances are these j:
On the assumption that q house at
Mollendo belonged to the Oreqnipa
railway and was therefore the pro-
perty of the State, orders were given
to occupy it by force, although the
building was declared to belong to a
citizen of the United States. 1t was
accordingly seized by II squad Of sol
diers. The United States Consulate
situated in the building was fofcibly
closed and padlocked, the coat Of arms
removed and the agent prevented from
entering the office for nearly week.
The American Minister at Lima, who
protested against the seizure Of the
house, on receipt of the intelligence
of this aggression, cabled to his Gov
eminent and was instantly instructed
to demand an apology. The house
was vacated after six days occupation,
but the Government peremptorily re-
fused to make an apology and rather
upheld the proceed ng. On this the
Minister telegraphed the intelligence
of the refusal and the Department Of
State at Washington ordered him TO
forward full particulars Of the affair
before taking further steps
