Destructive P,nnsvIvanta Mine Fire

pa AN II
What threatens.to be one of the most
destructives fires that ever occurred in the
coal fields is o raging in No. 2 ~colliery
of the Delaware and HUI !son Coal company
at Gllipan, Penn, where several acres Of
anthracite coal are ablaze nearly 200 feet
below the surface. About three weeks ago
there was an extensive cave-in of the roof
of this mine, followed by a tremendous
explosion of tire-danp. 1t is thought that
the fire was then communicated to the gas
blowers which rush through the coal ifs
sures, and that the anthracite was ignited
i'll that way. The caving i'll has been gong
on steadily since that date until the caved-
in area is nearly twenty-five acres in ex-
tent. 1t was not until a day or W since that
the full extent of the fire became known,
and gangs Of expert miners were at once
detailed to fight tie flames. This is dan
gerous work, owing to the rapidly accumu-
lating gas that may COM in contact with
the flames at any time an | result in q dis
astrous explosion,

Some of the Wisconsin Pearls are All
Right.

The pearl excitement in the vicinity of
Albany, Wis, is now at its height. AL
though claims are getting scarce and the
divers have to dig in tho mud at the bottom
of the river the finds are more numerous
and valuable than ever. The largest
anal by far the most valuable pearl
in Wisconsin was found by w. H. Hahn.
The weight of the pearl was 252 grains.
A New York buyer offered S3,50O for it,
but his figure was considerably too low.
Hundreds Of small pearls are found and
sold daily. The purchasers are agents Of
Chicago, New York and Paris houses.
Within the last two weeks the following
sales have been made: B. j. McAtee,
81. 122; F. L. Roberts, S3,42 Hewitt e.
Warren, $7C0; J. o. Lilley, SLIGO; Halli-
day & Allen, 5000. Visitors and clam
hunters are pouring into Albany, and the
banks of the river for miles are dotted
with tents. The stones proved to be Of
value after all, despite the early report
from Chicago that they were soft aud
worthless.

The London Rtpper Aruin.

The police have found the body of an
other fallen Woman lying at the corner of
the railway arch. on Cable street, White
chapel, London. An examination of the
remains showed that the head and legs
had been cut off and carried away and the
stomach ripped open, the intestines lying
on the ground. The police, who passed
the place every fifteen minutes, state that
they saw nothing suspicious. Physicians
who examined the body state that, in their
opinion, the murder and mutilation occu-
pied nearly al hour. The woman was
about 30years old. She was shabbily at
tired and was cvi emily n spirit drinker.
The remains have not been identified.
The most intense excitement prevails in
Whitechapel and crowds surround the
mortuary whore the body lies. No blood
was on the ground where the body was
found. nor was there any blood on the
body. From this it was evident that the
murder was committelin some other place
and that the body was subsequently de-
posted under the r ilway arch.

Working Hard for a Jury ut Chicago.
The tedium of the Cronin trial at Chi
cage is already oppressive, for the initial
work of procuring a jury is dragging most
unpromislngly. A fair .amplc of each
days proceedings is furnished in this in
cident: Henry Sweet, a farmer from
Glenwood, was examined and cross ex-
amined at length and finally, Forrest, for
the defense, challenged the juror for
cause, giving as reasons that he had
formed an opinion as to the extent of the
conspiracy to kill DR.. Cronin, and also as
to whether or not some of these defend
ants were members of that conspiracy,
and that (ronin was killed in pursuance
of the action of the supposed trial com
mittee appointed by the camp of the So
called Clan-na-G Gael societies.: The court
asked the juror if, notwithstanding til
opinions formed upon these matters, no
could give the prisoners a fair and i'm
partial trial, to which the juror answered
that he could. The challange was then
overruled by the court. Forrest tool OK
ception TO the ruling of the court and
challenged the juror peremptorily.
The same process followed with the
next and several other candidates..
Judge Mcconnell file | notice with both
sides that he should soon tighten his rul-
as to jurors in order to obviate tho
possibility of not securing n jury at all.
He said the case warranted acceptance of
a jury composed of intelligent men, who
had even read tho particulars of the case,
and received impressions favorable to the
accused or otherwise,

Death Of Congressman Cox.

Congressman Sunset" Cox died at his
home in New York city on the 10th. The
end was quiet and the dying man breathed
his last as peacefully as if he had fallen in
to light sleep. He had been conscious all
day until about a quarter of On hour before
the end. Mr.. Cox's last conversation was
about the four territories, whose state
hood he hoped to father. He mentioned
New Mexico and Arizona, and said some
thing about making a great effort in their
behalf at the coming session. In the af-
%ternoon, while DR.. Lockwood was talking
to him, Cox made some witty remark
which completely upset the doctors digni-
ty. DR.. Lockwood says the immediate
cause of the death was heart failure, and
the cause peritonitis. kilograms were

European kilograms in Auckland Pa
pers 60 March 25th.
Colonial papers had the Breslau
dispatch about an engagement be-
tween the Nipsic and Olga at Samoa.
The Auckland Herald had a cable
dispatch from San Francisco
paper, asking for full particulars of
the fighting. Neither the Austria
liam nor the New Zealand papers
gave the slightest credence to the
report, knowing as they did that
there was no possibility of such
news getting to Europe without
their knowledge. The Auckland
Herald. however, takes occasion to
point out that Samoan matters had
been allowed to drift into a situation
whore such an occurrence as that
falsely rumOred was liable to take
place.
A Berlin dispatch Of March 10th
says it is reported that the Samoan
difficulty has been obviated by di-
plomacy, and il Is thought imprO-
bable that the German training
squadron viii now proceed to Samoa.
Mr.. Stevenson, the novelist, in a
letter TO the Times, denOunces the
tyranny of DIR. Knappe, German
Consul at Samoa, and cites instances
of his arrogance. He also defends
j. <. Klein, the San Francisco jOurn-
alist, from the attacks made ON him
in reference to Samoan affairs.
From Washington, March 18th, 1t
is stated that Admiral Porter, in the
course Of an interview, advocated
attacking Germany, in consequence
of the recent events in Samoa, and
retaliatiug on the Germans for their
/ treatment OF American subjects
| The publication OF the AdmiraIs
views has created a sensation at the
American capital.
1t was understood in official cir
cles in London, on March 18th,
/ that Prince Bismarck was agree
/ able to England becoming the man
/ datory Power at Samoa.
/ Berlin advices Of March 18th state
/ that Germany will be represented at
. y
| Beacham. A London dispatch OF
/ the 18th, however, says the German
representative will be Count Her
7 bert Bismarck and DR.. Kranel Sir

+ lIessr5. kassOn, the recently APP
/ pointed American Minister to the
1 Court Of Berlin, and William Phelps
/ and George Bates, will represent the
United States at the Conference. The
United States delegates were to
leave for Berlin on April 18th. The
Berlin Post on March oath stated
that the Samoan Conference had
been postponed till May.
Lord Salisbury, in the course Of a
speech at Watford, referring to
Prince Dismarck's statement in the
Beichstag, denied that England and
Germany were hand in hand respect
ing the conflict with the Samoans.
He admitted, however, that he
agreed with the views Of the Ger
man Chancellor as to the future gov
eminent OF Samoa. \ Berlin dis
patch of March 23d says Prince Bis

bic. the recently appointed Consul at

Christ Alone Sufficient.

There was man whose besettinr sin
was strong drink. He said to friend one
day: 'When am with you feel strong
if | could always be with you | would
never give way to my terrible passion"
Said his friend 81 am nearly always in
my office. Wherever you feel the temp
tation getting the mastery over you, Just
come to me and l will help you" So,
many a time during the next few wears
this poor man might have been seen run
ming in great haste towards his friends
office. Once inside, in that helpful pres
ence, he soon became strong. The words
of encouragement, the warm hand clasp.
the brief prayer. sent him out victorious.
Thus it went on for several years, and the
oft-tempted man never once fell But
death came to this helpful friend, the office
door was closed, and among those who
wept at his grave none shed bitterer tears
than he who had so often run to him for
the sympathy and help that saved him.
Soon the temptation came again in all its
power. and there was no one to whom to
turn. In his despair he fell into the old
sin and sank down to ruin.
No doubt the same story might be writ
ten of many another failure in living. The
human arm was broken, and there was no
other to take it's place beneath the trem-
bling life; therefore, it sank away and
was lost. The mistake in this case was
that the poor man had learned only of the
human trust and knew nothing of the di-
vine. If he had known Christ, when his
friend died he would of course have missed
him, and would have found living harder,
wanting his help, but he would not have
sunk down in utter helplessness. He
would then have had the arm of Christ to
lean upon, and the strength of Christ to
support him in his weakness and tempta-
ton. Those of us who train and help
others should always make sure that when
we are gone they will not fall back into
sin. While they lean on US with confidence
and love, we must make sure that their
trust is really grounded upon Christ that
when we fall in death, or are taken from
them, or when they are removed from US
and beyond our help, they will not sink
away in despair. They will have Christ,
thou Oh all human help is gone, and that
will suffice. Westminster Teacher.
