Miners Buried Alive,

SHAMoKTN, Pa, March 15.-There
is now very little hope of rescuing
alive the entombed miners at the
Black Diamond colliery. The scene of
the accident is in the slope one thou
sand feet below the surface. Hopes
were entertained of reaching two of
them today, but the fall of coal
bringing down with it thousands of
IONS, occurred at 3 o'clock this morn
ing. 1t is believed that the men were
then killed or will be killed by the
coal which is constantly falling and
crashing down the chamber, or sutfO-
Gated from lack of air.

Railroad Discrimination,
The Galveston News says:

The Galveston News says:
ga resident of San Antonio, WHO
desires that his name be withheld for
business reasons, was speaking to-
day of the interstate commerce law
and railway discrimination.
Il will tell you,' he said, how the
thing is worked against San Antonio.
Remember that | am discussing facts,
not theories. had some non-perish-
able freight to ship to San Francisco.
The rate from San Antonio to that
point is $3.50 per 100 pounds. 1 sent
the freight first to New York, for
which 1 paid Sl.6O. 1 reshipped it
there for San Francisco, for which
paid S1.70; total $3.50, or a saving of
80 cents on every 100 pounds of
freight, which in carload lots amount
ed up considerably. 1t was right
funny to see my freight come bowl
ing back through here some weeks
later, and I had a more intense ap-
probation of the joke as L saved
money by it. give you the incident
simply to show you that there is such
a thing as discrimination and that it
is considerably prevalent around
here.'"

be brought about by northern men

the true condition of affairs, and crea-

WAsHINGToN, March 15.-There
was no perceptible deminition in the
number OF the presidents visitors to-
day. The rush began at 10 O'Clock,
and continued until 1890, when the

semi-weekly meeting. The president
received three delegations during the
morning, one from Georgia, headed
by Gen. Longstreet; another from
Virginia headed by John P. Wise,
and the third from Washington,
headed by Gen. Creswell. The latter
urged the appointment of Thos. A.

LIGHT that the opening of deep
water on the gulf coast of Texas will
intensity and quicken the zeal of
every trunk railway in the west for a
gulf coast connection. The immense
traffic awaiting such roads as have
lines to the coast of Texas, once the
deep water problem is solved is very
well understood by the railway COM
panies of this country. The Rock Is
land has pushed her more northerly
lines into the very heart of the west

the Rockies, and now that the ques-
ton of open ocean freightage becomes

ton is in its discussive state and
there are no movements from this
point northwestward, the Rock Island
road is quiet, but so soon as move
ment threatens or is made that cor
pOratiOn is OH the alert. When the
northwestern extension towards Kerr

folks were on hand talking up a con-

One Million Total Loss.

BUTTE, Mont, March 15.-One of
the smelters of the Anaconda Mining
Co. at Anaconda, burned yesterday,
entailing loss of fully one million,
with no insurance. The fire was first
discovered in the middle of the roof of
the ore house at the lower works. The
c0ncentrator and stamp mill are in the
same building as the ore house,
and they were saved, but the
great smelter building just north
of the ore house, containing twenty
Bruickner furnaces was entirely de-
stroyed. The flames then spread to
the new building, four hundred feet
square, which was being erected for
the Calaine furnaces, and this also
was consumed. At least one-half Of
the great plant was destroyed, and
what is left is rendered inactive until
the rest can be rebuilt. The buildings
were all new, as was also the ma
chinery, which was heavy and eXpen-
sive. There exists but little doubt
that the fire was of incendiary origin.

that Huntington expected to dis

says they are without foundation, that
the people named do not propose to

lively, that Huntington was not dis

republican Nominee Threatened.
MONTGOMERY, Ala, March l5.-In
the fourth congressional district, at
the last election, Lewis w. Turpin,
democratic, was declared elected.
Notice of the contest was promptly
filed by J. V. McDuffy. republican
nominee. The taking of the testi-
mony began several days ago and Nc
Duffy went into Wilcox county
for that purpose. In Camden county
seat he was waited upon by three
men, who ordered him to leave the
county in 4S hours, they claiming to
represent the democratic executive
committee of the county. McDuffy
agreed to leave as ordered. Before the
expiration of 48 hours, the
best democratic white citizens
of Wilcox county held a
mass meeting, passed resolutions,
that such action was not sanctioned
by the executive committee of Wilcox
county. McDuffy asked if they would
guarantee against injury from three
men. Being told they would not, he
very promptly left. The affair has
elated the very small republican ele-
ment of the state beyond expression.
They claim it will give McDutfy
the election.

A SMALL BOYS REVENGE.

do Creates a Family Row Over His Faith.
er's Pretty Typewriter.
Agood story is told on certain well known
lawyer, who now has one Of bis daughters to
manipulate his typewriter instead of the win
some blonde who was formerly a handsome
piece of furniture in his office. The change
came about in this way:
One day his ten -year-old son wandered into
bis office just as the legal light was examin-
ing letter written by the hired amanuensis
In order to read the letter 1t was necessary
for the lawyer to bend over the back of the
young lady's chair. The youngster looked at
his parent, took in the situation, and then
said: PA, want quarter"
I'm busy now, don't bother me, boy,n said
the father, and he continued to hang over
the shapely shoulder of the fair typewriter
and peruse the letter which she held in her
hand
Pa" said the boy again, 81 want quar-
ter. You'd better give it to me and I'll clear
out"
Don't worry me, l tell you," said the
father. Cant you see that am busysn
The youngster didn't say any more, but
just hung around the Office He looked out
IF the window and counted the white horses
as they went by; he pasted a row of notarial
seals across one of tho desks; he emptied some
sand into an inkstand and then thickened the
compound with mucilage, and did q lot of
other mischievous tricks such as will only
suggest themselves to 10-year-old boy But
he kept a close watch on the governor and
the typewriter, and every now and then
would shrug his shoulders, as much as to say:
I'm get even with youn
Finally, the lawyer was ready to go home,
and taking his little boy by the hand they
walked to their modest appearing but hand
somely furnished residence. Very little was
said on the way, and the father was evidently
nettled at what he considered the misbe-
havior Of his son. When the family sat down
to dinner he narrated the circumstances to
his wife, and she sternly told the young man
that if he could not behave himself she
would not let him go down to his fathers
Office again.
The boy didn't seem to mind that much, and
finally said, as he balanced his fork on his
forefinger: perhaps l was somewhat rude
and impatient, but, mamma, if you'd seen pa
lean over that pretty typewriter and play
with her bangs and whisper in her ear you'd
have thought he'd been glad to give me q
quarter to get me out of the way l never
knew how much pa was stuck on her before -
The youngster was sent away from the
table in disgrace, and he subsequently, re-
ceived striking evidence of parents wrath,
but there was also an argument between the
parents that resulted in the dismissal of the
fair typewriter the following day.-Wash-
