North Ashland Colliery saw volumes of
smoke issuing from tho engine-room
and Immediately sounded the fire alarm.
Hundreds of people arrived on the scene
promptly, but owing to the infiamma-

hours.
The huge iron screens and heavy ma
ehinery, together with hundreds of tons
OF coal in the chutes, burned to a white
heat, and kept the spectators 200 yards

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. Pretty 90
year-old Annie Kane, living with her
mother at Main and Robinson streets,
Manayunk, was yesterday removed to the
insane department OF the Philadelphia

to that of Miss Florence r. Hof1a, which

avenue, to become fugitive.
1t is said that Miss Kane has, for some
time, been enamored of q young man,

city and lives In Camden. The allega
tion Is that he betrayed her under prom
ise OF marriage and then attempted to
jilt her. Up to Ave weeks ago Annie
was employed at Twenty second and Pine
streets, but her queer actions ihduee1
her employer to dispense with her ser.
vices. Since then she has resided with

and fell, severely cutting her head. She
was removed to the Office Of DIR. Bricker,
In he neiRhhorhood, and while dressing

bad lest her reason. Her mother was
summoned and she informed the physi-
clan that Annie had been acting strangely
of late, and had told several of her
friends that she was shortly to be mar
ried. The young womsn's explanation
for lea ling from the car was that she had
seen her lover on the sidewalk and she
was afraid he would elude her.

vate letter from Ralph w. Morris, a
naval apprentice on the United States

FREEHOLD, Jan. 31.-Eight more cases
against James L. Black over whose head
hung forty-three indictments for forgery
and embezzlement were drawn for trial
to-day, but on account of Chief Justice
Brasley's decision at Trenton yesterday
when the Wyatt murder trial was to take
place, that the supplement of 1888 to the
criminal procedure act relating to the em-
paneling of jurors was OF no account be
cause of mistake In the title, they were
postponed till February8
Black has already had two trials, on
one of which he was convic' ed. AS these
were held under the defective law the de-
cision OF the Chief Justice practically
nullifies Blacks conviction anu makes It
as though he had never been tried. 1t is
generally believed now that he will es-
cape entirely through these technlcalities.

Saloon Rule In schuyIkill.

PoTTsvILLH, Jan. 31.-The license
court adjourned to-day after continuous
session. The work was the hearing Of
new applicants and such old ones as had
been demonstrated against. Out of $50
belonging TO these classes thirty were
granted and as macy more refused. A
large number of cases went over until
Tuesday next, while about fifty remain
In the hands of the judges. OF those
granted nearly ali are for old stands,
while eighty per cent. Of those refused
are new applicants The court has been
lenient with those against whom lette g
of complaint have been filed, but has
during the sittings taken frequent occa
sion to announce that any defect in appli-
cation or bond next year or any irregu-
larity or violation of law until then will
be punished by refusal.
