bed until the following Wednesday,
when he carried it to the cellar, where it
was found. When asked what motive

is is years of age, but he looks older.

Fatal Accident In the Nottingham Coll

WILKEsBARRE, Pa, June 11.-Another
of these fearfully fatal mine accidents
that every now and then startle the peo-
pie of the anthracite coal regions has
occurred in the Nottingham mine, at
Plymouth. The colliery is situated in
the lower end Of town, about 800 yards
west of the main street, and is one of
the largest mines in the valley, having
a greater capacity than any other. It
has been remarkably free from acci-
dents, and when the report of calamity
there spread it caused the widest ex-
citement.
1t seems that five men were engaged
In what is known as robbing pillars on q
gangway, and, becoming tired, sat down
to eat light lunch. While thus en-
gagged, a large mass of top coal from the
bIacksmith's vein fell upon them, in
stantly killing four and badly injuring
the other.

Johnstown, Pa, June 5.-Conserva-
tive men are Of the opinion that the
number OF people destroyed will reach
from 10000 to $1,000. This view of it
is based on many fragments of evil
dence obtained from over 100 citi.
2ens, carefully selected from as intel
ligent men and women as could be
found. They were chosen from as
many occupants as possible and from
as many social classes. They were
asked to estimate the per centage OF
the loss to the total population, To
tell how many people Of their ac'
quaintance have disappeared, how
the gathering Of the residents on the
streets and in public places compare
with the same in former times
Their statements of facts and esti-
mates are proven as far as could be
and the calculation shows a list Of
from 10000 to $4,000 1t must be re.
membered that very large proper
ton of this loss is made up of chill
dren. How strikingly frequent is the
reference in the death list to "Mrs
Jones and six children, ""Mrs. Smith
and five children"

THE disaster in the Cenemaugh
Valley is not without sldelights OF he
role deeds to illumine its gloom
While hundreds Of strong men were
paralyzed by the horror of the time,
others who had never before proved
their courage, distinguished them
selves by nerve and devotion rarely
equalled. Svch a one was Edward
VIII, the young foundryman, who
tore himself from the OBTAINING en-
brace of his wife and children, and,
launching his frail boat on the roaring
torrent, saved twenty-five lives.
We are told that "mothers coolly
sacrificed themselves to the fury OF the
flood or fire to save the lives of their
children or loved ones. Not infre-
quently some pale-faced woman,
clinging with her child to floating de-
bris, and recognizing that the support
was too frail for two, would be seen to
lift her precious burden high upon the
floating debris. and with a hasty kiss,
bidding farewell to all that bound her
to the world, sink beneath the inky
waves"

troller j. w. Allen has received a tele.
gram from B. G. Mcdowell, the States
attorney for Washington county, to
the effect that the State had won q
suit of long standing against T. A.
Branscomb and his securities. In

iector for Washington county, and
while acting as such he defaulted to
the State in the sum OF $4,000. One
of his securities, a comparatively
wealthy man OF Jonesboro named
Cox, to escape liability, conveyed his
property to his brother The court
Saturday set aside the conveyance and
gave a judgment which will enable the
State to secure nearly the whole
amount.
