From the Jaws OF Death.

About the year 1889 my grandfather
was inside superintendent of the Mes
ouehoning mines near Mauch Chunk,
says a writer in the Philadelphia Press.
at that time anthracite-coal mining
was conducted on a rather primitive
scale az compared with the operations
of today, and instead of the present inn
proved safety-lamp tallow candles were
used by the miners. One day during
the noon hour q number of the men,
among them my grandfather, had
gathered together at dinner. One OF
the men had stuck his candle in some
manner fast to the wall, not noticing
that Immediately below it stood a large
open keg of the heaviest blasting. pow
der.
Unsuspicious of danger. the men
| chatted and ate their dinners. Sudden
", without a seconds warning, the
candle fell directly into the keg Of
powder. Every man threw himself on
his face, expecting TO be blown into
atoms. But the explosion did not
come. For a few awful seconds they
lay there, awaiting death with fast
beating hearts. Finally my %grandfath-
err said: Boys, l can't stand this any
longer. / am going TO get that candle
out Of there. All of YOU lie just as you
are" He sprang to his feet, rushed to
the keg, and there a sight met his eyes
enough to shake the stoutest nerves.
Sunk deep into the powder, but bolt
upright, stood the candle, with tho
flame a short half-inch from the powder
bear he reached down into the keg and
carefully lifted the candle out. 1t was
some time before the men could realize
that they were out of danger, but when
they did they awoke the distant echoes
of the old mine with their cheers. How.
ever, like the sturdy Englishman tina,
he was, he pooh-poohed them back tc
their dinners again, and said any one
Of them would have done the Same
thing, giving as his reason for doing il
that he was the nearest man TO the
keg,

visions and supplies Of all kinds were
brought up 10 Fort Benton on the Mis-

the buttes, mesas, and rough noun

various mining camps. 1t was at the
period when men, in their eagerness to
search for gold IN the earth, were pay

seeing that competition was paralazed,
raised the price of -four to 800 per
sack. the situation was bad enough for
a congressional investigation. The
miners held an indignation meeting
and decided TO "arbiuate." A COM
mittee was appointed TO confer with
the grasping traders. The members

The Interest Increasing.

CHICAGO, H., Oct. 25.-The crowd
that sought to obtain admission to the
Cronin trial this morning was even
greater than yesterday. The interest
in tho trial is intense. Before the court
opened the blood-stained trunk was
transferred from the south side, where
it has been kept since the inquest,
in q vault in the states attorneys Office.
1t will be introduced in evidence at an
early day. The plan of the prosecution
was to continue the introduction of evil
dence proving the body found in the
catch basin to be that of DIR.
Cronin until it had attained
such overwhelming weight as
to prevent an attempt on the part of the
defense TO controyert it.
The first witness was Nicholas Wal
lenborn. He had known Cronin five
years; identified the body at the morgue
as that Of the doctor.
r. r. Conklin knew Cronin init
mately; he had been a member of the
witness family for ten years; viewed
the body at the morgue and positively
identified it as DR.. Cronin's. Recog-
nized it by tho forehead, hair, nose,
teeth, IN injured finger and general APP
pearance.

The Prettiest Partisan Actress.

Thirty years ago the prettiest woman
in Paris was Blanche Pierson: now IL is
Mile, DepoiX. The first was fair, the
second is dark; the first, even in her
youth, had the dimpled plumpness.
which ~unluckily became vexatious
obesity; the second is slender and thin,
all muscle, without a suspicion of fat
n~ess-just a due covering of flesh on
her bones.
The fact is, she is pretty, distinctly
and charmingly pretty, with dark hair
clingiug TO her forehead, clear deep
eyes, black eyebrows drawn with a
single stroke Of a masters hand; and a
long oval face, and something sweet
and maidenly and yet sensual in her
whole person, and, above all, the dis
tinction which promises a woman of
the world. There is no sign of the
free-and-easy airiness which stamps the
common actress; everything about her
is clo.e-fitting, close-buttoned, neat.
and in good taste; nothing to catch the
eye or divert attention from that
charming head on which we gaze with
restful pleasure.
This beauty, this aristocratic WITCH
cry. needs no frills or furbelows. 1t
has found its proper setting-a stamp
Of reserve, almost of disdain. That u
what we see on the boards when she
is to be seen, for that is all that is re-
quired Of her; she need not speak

What She Said.

He was a San Franciscan in the
played out city of London. says the
San Francisco Chronicle. He came
from the west. where he had developed
that independence and self reliance
which, combined with good looks and
$40 gold pieces, made a man superior
TO all Europe. He strohed with grace
full dignity into a gilded bar, over
which presided q divinity ef superb
physical form, but stilfa woman, with
that air which only an English bar
maid al possibly put Oman air of
mingled conceit, pride. coquetry, and
humility. She awaited his order. He
was dressed in tho latest fashion. He
threw the lapel of his coat back with a
proud gesture, and fixing his fascinat-
ing eye on the bar beauty he said:
Tell me pretty maid, what can you
suggest for u man who ate a Welsh
rabbit last night and does not feel
well this morning.?
She did not smile; she did not APP

Of his swelling chest OF his wicked eye;

A Shipwrecked Seaman's Story.

BALTIMORE, Nd, Oct. 25.-Carl Grave,
fireman, and Ludwig Loder, seaman,
two survivors of the crew of the steam
ship Earnmoor, told last night a story
horrible il its details, OF the way they
sustained life by cannibalism for days.
Loder said, ''the only food we had
the first fifteen days in the boat
was flying fish and a few raw small
sea birds divided among eleven men,"
He then relates that on the seventeenth
day one of the crew named Robinson
died. He was cut up and eaten by the
others of the crew. Two days after
Robinson's death Third Engineer Hunt
died and his body was also cut up
for food. 'In about three days."
said Lodor, 'the limbs and feet of all
began to swell and several have since
broken out in ugly sores. We think it
is poison from the human flesh and
blood" Both Graves and Lodor say
they have no recollection of the taste OF
the human flesh, so great was their
mental anguish at the time.

Interesting Suits.

CouScn BLUFFS, Ia, Oct. 25.-Three
suits have been filed in the district
court. The plaintiffs are Finley Burke,
j. c. Abbott and Florence Armstrong,
who each sued for $4,000. The de-
PENDANT in all three cases is the Citi-
zens' State bank, Of Council Bluffs.
The suit grew out of a large suit now
pending in the supreme court, wherein
the bank Is plaintiff and Abbott the de-
PENDANT. The suit, which was begun in
1887, involves the possession of a large
number OF cattle valued at $40. 900.
Burke is Abbott's attorney. The claim
Of the petitioners in the present suit is
that the bank sought in the cattle suit
to maliciously cheat the plaintiff out Of
the cattle in controversy, and wAen Abr
bott got tho cattle one night and ran
them of the bank had him indicted for
grand larceny. The suits will probably
arouse much interest when they come
to trial, owing TO the large amounts in.

A Kansas City Detective Claims to Have
Sifted q Mystery.

Sifted q Mystery.
CARRoLLroN, NO., Oct. 25.-On the
3oth day Of November, 1888, Price
Scoby, of Norborne, disappeared, and
his whereabouts since that time have
been shrouded in mystery until today,
when the developments would indicate
that the missing man was foully dealt
with in a gambling hell in this city.
Scoby had sold his grocery business at
Norborne a few days prior to the date
mentioned above, and is known to have
been gambling with the negroes who
frequented the place where he Is sup
posed to have met his fate. G. A. Cor
den, a Kansas City detective, has been
at work on the case for several weeks
past, and this morning concluded that
he had sufficient evidence TO take into
custody William and Warner Bates,
Henry Jiles and Wilbur Anderson, four
well known negro characters, who, in
default of bond, are now in the county
Jail awaiting their examination, which
will be held October 80. When the
missing man left Norborne he had on
his person $500, which fact led to the
belief that he had been murdered, and
caused an examination to be made. The
body is supposed to have been buried
one mile southwest Of town, and a
searh for it will he instituted in the
morning.

Is Expected at the Parliament
tary Election at Brighton
Today.
The Gladstonians and the Tory
Crowd Both Confident Of
Success,
The Fight Has Been the Most
Bitter of Any Election Since
Gladstone Retired From
ONCE.
The brighton Election.

New YORK, Oct. 25.-A London cable
Intense excitement prevails
throughout the country regarding the
parliamentary contest in progress today
at Brighton. The successive defeats OF
the government at recent elections has
aroused the popular feeling to fever
heat, and the interest over the event OF
today is only second to that oil a general
election. Extraordinary efforts have
been put forth by both sides to gain the
day. The leading orators OF the union
iat- and Glaastanian narties have been
festo issued by Mr.. Gladstone at South
port yesterday, and which was intended
TO have a direct bearing on the
contest, was printed and delivered at
the house Of every voter before s o'clock
last night. The tory and unionist can
didate is Baron George dc Worms, while
the Gladstonian standard bearer is Sir
Robert Peel. He is somewhat eccentric
in his characteristics, but las neverthe-
less a strong personal following in the
aristocratic old watering place. At an
ordinary election Brighton is conserva-
tive by an average Of 5000 and should
the Gladstonians be successful in win
ming the seat, or even in materially re-
ducing the tory strength, the death
knell of the present government will
have been sounded and the followers
OF the grand old man throughout
the country will go wild with JOY. The
gravity of the situation is fully APP
preciated by the marquis Of Salisbury,
who has been holding daily conferences
with Acknowledgement Webster, Home
Secretary Matthews and other members
of the cabinet regarding ways and
means of averting the threatened dis
aster. The fight has been the most
bitter of any election since Mr.. Glad
stone was retired from office. Brighton
is covered today with blue posters the
tory color declaring that the Glad
stonian policy will debauch the nation
and destroy the union, and urging
every loyal Englishman to vote today
for his country and his queen. Latest
telegraph advices indicate that a full
vote is being polled. The probable out-
come is awaited with much interest.
