"I'll Tell Your Father y

A common offence of which mothers
are guilty is indicated by the heading of
this paragraph. A mischievous child has
disoteyed some maternal command, or
smashed window, or hacked off the cate
tail, or scratched little sisters pink-and-

" hen he comes home"
Thus threatens the mother, whose
gentle heart forbids her Furnishing the
little rebel. Ii is dire threat aud laden
with dark portents. From one point of
view it may be interpreted as a back
handed compliment 10 the father-a con
fession, so to say, that his disciplinary
resources are superior to hers. But that
is superficial view OF the case. In reality
thai mothers threat presents the father
to the child's mental yision as terror, a
thing of dreadful approximations bogie

dark, damp cave, there to be eaten up

for whose good (if he could but know

The Explorer of Africa Two Days
Ahead of His Party.

A dispatch from Zanzibar states that cour-
iers from Tabora, Africa, bring direct news
from the Stanley expedition, a portion of
which was met at the end of November, 1887,
by Arabs trading between Lakes Vic toria
Nyanza and Nzige, and Tabora. These Arabs
met Stanley's rear guard at a point west
of Albert Nyanza, southeast of Sanga, just
as the expedition was preparing to cross
swamps caused by the radiation of
the streams that abound in that coun-
try. The Arabs did not see Stanley
The detachment seen consisted of thirty
men. They stated that Stanley was two days
ahead The expedition had suffered greatly
on the march through thick forest, where it
was impossible to advance more than mile
and a quarter daily. They had also suf-
fered In the marshes, where many had dis
appeared or died. Forty were drowned in
crossing a great river flowing from east to
west. One white man had died. Stanley
was obliged to fight some tribes that refused
to supply him with provisions.
The expedition had often halted in the ex-
pectatlon of receiving reinfOrcements from
the Congo The rear guard, at the time met
q halt of three weeks, due to the illness
cort, who had been attacked with
fever. The Arabs estimate the total
strength of the expedition after all losses, at
$50 men: The health of Stanley was then
good. The rear guard. which consisted OF
natives of Zanzibar, stated that Stanley
had decided that he would no longer ad-

getting certain distance north he intended
to take an oblque line to the eastward and

he would arrive 30 days later-about the mid
die of January, 1888. The Arabs were Of

James McCune, aged fourteen years; John
Dudley, aged fifteen, and Daniel Nagle, aged
fifteen. Ascending to Wilson's room, the
rope was passed under their arms When all
three ha! been securely fastened they
were carefully swung from the window and
started to descend. They had gone
down but few feet when there came a
snap, the rope parted close to the pulley, and
the boys were dashed to the sidewalk, seventy
feet below. McCune and Dudley were almost
instantly killed. and Nagle fatally injured.
Wilson was arrested and locked up He was
almost crazed by the occurrence, and an
open penknife found in his pocket leads to
the belief that in his excitement he meant to
kill himself.

A MINE CALAMITY.
Fatal Explosion in a Pennsyl-

Many Coal Miners Killed and
Mangled.

By an explosion in the Kettle Creek Goa
Mining Company's mine at Cooks Run
Penn, fifteen miners were killed, two died
after being taken out and three men were SC
badly injured that it was thought they would
die
The Cooks Run mines have been in opera
ton since the first of the present year
One hundred and sixty men are employed
In and around the mines, but for one reason
or another, only twenty of the whole number
were at work on this afternoon when
at a few minutes after four o'clock
an explosion occurred which sent
sixteen lhuman beings to eternity and
hurt three others SO seriously that two of
place in one of the many pockets of the mines
about two hundred and fifty feet from the
opening, and of the sixteen men at work in
that part twelve were killed outright One

distance away, was blown through the air.
shaft and his body was not found until next
morning, when it was discovered among
pile of brush in the woods near the shaft
Two other men, who were at work sew
enty-tive feet from the mine opening, were
hurled out at the mouth of the mine and
their dead bodies were found one hundred
and seventy-five feet from where they had
been employed.
The driver, named J. Farrell, was entering
the drift when the explosion occurred. He
was thrown toward the mouth of the mine
and escaped. His mule was killed
The force of the explosion was shown in
the fact that bodies were blown clear out of
the mouth of the drift. Everything possible
was done for the injured by the mine physi-
clans. The dead were taken charge of by an
undertaken and prepared for interment. The
horribly mangled bodies were placed on
hastily constructed tables in a small black
smith shop. The friends and relatives of the
dead ones are people without more than
enough OF this worlds goods to clothe their
bodies. Fragments of the clothing worn
by the victims of the disaster are scattered
among the limbs of the surrounding trees,
some of them fifty feet above the ground.
Five Of the killed were Swedes, three Savs
Six Italians and two Irish. All were un-
married except the last two, who leave large
families.
The cause of the explosion is a mystery and
no one seems able to explain it. 1t is thought
that in making blast 'gas feeder" was
struck, filling the chamber with gas,
which, coming in contact with a |
naked lamp. caused the explosion.
A ''gas feeder" is pocket of gas in the coal. |
AS soon as pick is stuck into it the gas es-
capes, and if anything ignites it an explosion |
follows. 1t is known that the air has been
so bad in the mine for several days that many
of the men would not work.
