WILKEsBARRE, Jan. ga ter
riole accident WAS narrowly averted
st the Nottingham mine in Ply
mouth this evening where the disas-
trous cave-ir occurred last week.
About Z O'Clock terrific explosion
of gas occurred. There had been a
heavy tall of coal, and this forced
the gas towards the shaft but on
Its way it WAS ignited by the naked
lamps OF the miners and exploded
The brattice work and timber at once
took fire and burned furiously.
Five men were caught between
the cave-in and fire, and all manner
of exit was cut off. About half al
hour after the fire broke out John ID
Humphreys and John Richards
were lowered into the mine to as
certain the state Of affairs. Wher
they reached the fire they heart
cries and shouts on the other side.
Putting their hands before thei
faces they rushed through the fir'
and dragged the five imprisoned
men out one by one uinjured
When they reached the anxious
crowd the rescued men and heroe
were received with shouts and wei
come.
Thomas Richards who was il
another part of the mine was severe
ly burned by the explosion, and i
is feared that he cannot recover
Part of the workings of the min
are located under the Susquehann
River, and the miners state that th
water is oozing through near wher
the cave-in occurred last week
They fear the river may break int
the mine. If this should happe
the damage would be enormous
many miners would be drowned on
beyond the hope of reclaiming then
and operations would have to b
suspended.-Ec.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Sit was
learned to-day that the money taken
by Silcott will be made good to the
members on the House. The special
committee on the part of the House
have agreed upon repore, by the
terms of which an appropriation
will be asked to make good the
losses Of members. Aud it is a
curious fact but one that could
have been discounted in advance,
that Mr.. Holman, Of Indiana, OBJ
jects. or course Holman never
voted to pay a dollar out Of the
Treasury directly Sometimes he
votes for an appropriation bill
when he is on the Appropriation
Committee, but even that is very
uncertain. To show exactly how
Holman is constituted the case must
be understood. There are two
classes OF losers-one that had
drawn their salaries and deposited
the money with the Sergeant-at-
Arms; the other, those who lost
their November salaries. The first
voluntarily trusted the officer and
we're free TO do as they pleased; the
sscond were compelled by ths rules
Of the House TO have the money pass
through his hands. There are s7O,.
900 in the hands OF the Office and
about S1S,0O0 stolen.

The Hill-Cleveland for supremacy
in New York is uncovering some
interes ting secrets of the campaign
of 1884. The Albany Times, Hill
organ, reveals some of the methods
employed by the Democrats in 1884
to carry the State for Cleveland,
and charges him with hypocrisy in
his professions OF honesty contained
in his Boston speech. "When rogues
fall out, honest men get their due"
Here is an extract from the Times
revelations:
cleveland knew, or was privy to
the fact, that vast sums OF money
were used in this State to elect him
president in 1884 and to re-elect
him in 1888. and Mr.. Cleveland him
self personally exhorted in 1854,
while governor, the rich men of the
party, such as the Hon. Roswell
/ 2. Flower, William G. Whitney,
Frank Jones, the brewer of New
Hampshire, William L. Scott, of
Pennsylvania, and George Ehret,
the brewer of New York, to come
here, and through his persuasive
influences these men did come, and
to him personally pledged large
sums-for what I? Not for legiti.
mate expenses, for those in part
had already been assumed by the
ohice-holders and by subscriptions
from Democrats who had the sue
cess Of the party at heart. The
sum raised by the above named
gentleman was vast, and probabl,
: never will be known unless the,
choose voluntarily to tell it. Mr.
Cleveland knew the great exigen
cies which demended his summon
ing these men to Albany in 1884
:. and had they not come to the rescu
q in the nick of time this State woult
a have been lost to Cleveland tha
/, year. The inference is plail
enough as to how the money wa
used. Mr.. Cleveland was in th
fight to win in 1884, and probabl
|. he did not hold such conviction
e then as to the use of money as b
processes to hold now after his de
feat in 1888. He may not have di:
u pensed the money with his ow
r hands, but he knew the politics
n hands which that money went int
, knew how il was to be used. an
winked at its use. Ancient histor

Fer Of 1899 seems long way Of,

ALGEs IN THE FIELD.
A man much talked about and who
undoubtedly has already begun his
campaign is General Russel A. Alger
OF Michigan, now at the head of the
Grand Army of the Republic. In a
Sew days General Alger will start
out to make the grandest preliminary
"swing around the circle" ever un-
derteken by any would-be or actual
candidate. The tour ostcnsibly is
FOR the regular annual inspection OF
the g. A. r. post by the Command.
er-in-Chief, but many features of it
would arouse suspicion even if Gen.
ersl Alger was never known to have
tue presidential bee in his bonnet
Firstly, General Alger has arranged
to visit every State encampnent in
the Union before returning TO his
home in Michigan in May or June
To enable him to do this the encamp.
ments have been so dated that he
can begin in Maine and go West
through the States without much
doubling on his track or loss Of time
spending day or two at each State
encempment in his progress. Algel
is man Of great wealth, and will
make his great tour in his own pri.
yate palace car, and during his var
ious stops he will no doubt contriv,
to make it very pleasant for the lead
ing G.. A. R. men for the differen
States which he visits. The Genera
is man OF much personal magnetism
and these meetings, full as they
usually are of soldiery enthusiasm
and good fellowship afford the mos
favorable atmosphere for campaign

THE habit Of paying out money for
the privilege Of getting to shake ones
feet, or shuttle or kick them around
is very foolish one. A great num-
Der Of young men and women even
after marriage commit themselves to
this foolishness, at the expense Of q
home and home comforts. In this
there is a lack in the balance of the
mind or in thoughtlessnessf from a
defective education. We would not
defeat the young in the proper
amusements, especially such as are
for their good. Follow the foot sha-
kers, card players, novel readers,
theater goers through life and at the
end they can and will say in the Ian
guage of Solomon, ''vanity, all is
vanity"
