NO HOPE FOR THE MINERS
The Rescuing Party in Momentay
Peril of Death.
sUNDRY HAPPENINGS OF THE DAY.
NO HOPE FOR THE MINERS.
The Rescuers I'm Danger of Another Ex-
plosion.

DUNBAR, Pa, June ls.-There is not a ray
OF hope or encouragement offered the weary
rescuing parties at Farm Hill mine this morn
ing except that they are one day nearer the
completion of their work, which now grows
more difficult every hour. The loose piles
of fallen slate end coal in the disused
chambers Of the Mahoning mine have
been passed with but little trouble. The main
work is now in hand The rescuing parties
from the Mahoning are digging through the
fallen wreck that reaches to the roof and are
they expect to break into the Farm
Hill lead There is usual a con-
hlct OF authority ON this question, as
some still claim they are digging straight
through into the burning mine, but that they
are fully 800 feet beyond where the men are
supposed to be. The men will probably not be
obliged to dig through the solid wall after all.
There is steady draft setting toward the burn
ing chambers and il now looks as if the men
had made no mistake in their calculation and
will hit the nearest point to a hairs breadth.
There are even greater fears now OF another
explosion since an occurrence of this morning.
About o'clock heavy fall was heard in the
mine. and those standing about saw the smoke
that had been pouring out i'll an ever-increas-
ing stream suddenly stop. At the same
time the trip bell away down in
the burning mine rang out loudly.
Manykthought the men had reached it to
give an alarm. but this is absurd. as even if
alive they would have been obliged to traverse
at least 800 feet Of fame before they could
have reached the bell. 1t was found out after
ward that a heavy fall had occurred in the main
slope and had shut off the draft
This has turned the smoke and
heat back into the chamber in such volumes
that no man could live. The heat in the Ma
honing drift is growing more intense and only
an occasional blast from the fan
makes their work bearable. This stop
page OF the draft will also shut in
the gas and work is proceeding
even more cautiously than before. Inspector
Keighley is in the lead every moment now. as
they expect to break through today. He will
make but a small opening at first and then
make thorough test Of the gas before yen-
turing farther

Kilkenny Courts I'm Iowa

DEs MONIES. Iowa, June l8.-The Iowa courts
are reversing one another's Original package"
decisions very rapidly. Last week two district
judges rendered contrary decisions, one hold
ing that an original package is an unbroken
case. just as il is received from the consigners
the other that any subdivision OF case prop
erly sealed with contents intact would fulfill
the requirements of the law. Before the now
famous original package decision was rendered
by the United States Supreme Court the Iowa
supreme court had defined an original package
to be flask, bottle, keg or barrel-anything in
which the goods were put. without regard to
the manner Of their shipment. Yesterday
Judge Kavanagh Of the Polk county district
court in the case of the state against Chambers.
oyerruled this supreme court decision. Cham
bers imported two cases, one containing a
dozen bottles, the other a keg filled with
liquor. Chambers admitted he had drawn of
the liquor from the keg into quart bottles. In
this condition the liquor was seized and Judge
Kavansgh has ordered the whole outfit con-
demned.

acquainted with the late official chief stenog-
rapher of the House, Mr.. McElhone, was Repre-
sentative McAdoo. Speaking of the deceased
to STAR reporter today Mr.. McAdoo said:
Il was deeply panied to learn Of the death of
my friend. MIR. McElhone. He was a master Of
his profession and most scholarly and accom-
plished gentleman. knew few men of such
wide reading in the Eteraturel of
the world and SO well informed
generally. He was an upright honest man. a
faithful official and true friend The sickness
and death of Mr.. Randall, to whom he was at
tached by bonds OF the warmest friendship,
seemed to affect him greatly. He spoke often
to his intimates with deep feeling over the
enforced absence and subsequent death of his
friend, and it looked to me as if it affected his
health. His great experience in his position
was Of infinite value to the House."
