THE Hill FARM MINE,
Tho Fourth Attompt to Open the Mine iu
s Progress. ,1-


Is, Progress. ,f'.-
scoTTDME, Dec. 7.-Wolk has been
once more resumed in the Hill Farm
mines, making the fourth attempt to
open the mines to business. The plan
OF stopping the destruction by fire, as
proposed by Assistant Mine Boss Doran,
is still in execution. A 2t.inch pipe has
been run into the mine in order to carry
water to the fire. :.
Doran explored Jacobs Ladder, as it
is called, and found great fall OF live
Goals, and there have been many falls OF
slate, but 30 far 10 one has been hurt
dangerously. There is great mass OF
coke and charcoal at the head OF the
mine, which has been dumped by the
trip cars. The water in the mine is
very high, and it is flooding other mines
at lower level. 1t is now thought the
only way to put the fire out is to seal the
headings and smother it. Tonight
work was again ordered to stop in the
mines, as fire and gas threatened the
lives OF the fearless workers. It is now
said that the men will do well to even
discover the dust OF the 20 miners.

The Slantcr0us Assertions About His YIrc,
some Apologies Demanded.
LONDON, Dec. 7.--Some weeks ago adj.
vertisements were printed in London
newspapers whereby John W. Mackay
offered reward for information con.
cerning the identity OF certain persons
in London who had circulated unplees.
ant rumors concerning MIS-. Dlackay's
early career. The explanation of this
circumstance furnishes rather IN amus-
ing illustration OF the facility with which
a rumor can augment itself under favor.
able conditions. 1t seems that a lady Of
high position near the Court, Mrs.
Chain, some years ago, was annoyed BIZ
the escapade Of favorite maid, a very
pretty girl, who ran away from her en-
ployer and her home and went to New
York with wealthy Australian, not un-
known TO the turf.
Her mistreaa, interested in the girls
welfare, heard that she had eventually
gone to the Pacific coast and there mar.
ried Scotchman or Irishmen by the
name OF Mackay. When Mrs. ]. W.
Macsay came to London and attracted
the attention OF fashionable society BY
givinga splendid entertainment, which
the Prince Of Wales left large party at
Holderness to attend, some thougbtless
or ill.natured person in Mrs. Chains
circle Of friends threw out query as to
whether the Mr.. Mackay, whose name
was. then in all peoples mouths az the
silver king in America, could possibly
be the person who was reported to have
married Mrs., Chains maid.
There does not seem to have been the
slightest Imaginable incentive to, or ex.
cuse for, this query except the idle and
frivolous disposition Of the persons who
made it. Who thie person WAS is moi
stated, although it is attributed 10 two
not very prominent men, more or less
addicted to fashionable gossip, but, as in
the case OF the three black crows, the
query once started went from mouth tc
mouth until 1t grew into an assertion
and it was 80 often repeated that it came
at last to the knowledge OF Mrs. Mackay
as proceeding from q well.known Amer
ican lady, nov resident in London.
Then Mr.. Mackay thought the tins
had come for taking decisive measures
and issued the advertisement referred to
and called in the services OF Colone
Lewis, who has been eiFectually settinl
the matter right with explanations anc
apologies from all concerned. -3

In the opening speech he declared his 10y

schools State schools. The imparting of
instruction to the child primarily was the
venes whenever the family could, or
would, not do the work needed He unre-
servedly favored State laws making instruc.
ton compulsory.

the Schools of Texas, read The next paper
on the same general subject. Cooper held
that compulsory education laws contravene
the development of American institutions,
viz, the minimum of the law thoroughly
enforced with maximum of freedom,
rather than compulsory laws. He favored
better schools.
A general discussion on the subject of
compulsory laws was participated in by
