THE GAS EXPLOSION,
Vaialess Efforts to Rescue the Ill-Fatet

DUNBAR (Pa }, June 17th.-Au night long res
cuing parties remained at the mouth Of the
manhole at the Farm Hill mine, but their efforts
were fruitlesS. When daylight broke they
were no nearer the unfortunate men entombed
IN the burning mine. All hopes of rescuing
the imprisoned miners alive have been aban-
doned.
Efforts were made TO enter the burning stope
through the Mahoney and Ferguson mines. 1t
was found impossible to get near the men
through the former, owing to the formation of
stope, and in Ferguson pit the air was so bad
it was impossible to travel any distance. 1t has
been determined to cut off all the fresh air and
let the mine burn itself out, that the bodies of
the men may be recovered.
At 10 o'clock this morning there was yery
little change, except that the fire was fiercer,
the smoke blacker and the despair of the sur
vlvors deeper than ever before. The early gray
OF the morning only found the rescuing par
driven further back from the death chamber
They could not penetrate within 100 feet of the
place they reached last night.
Early this morning Martin Markey, pit boss
of the Anchor mines made q daring attempt to
reach the right driftings of the Farm mines
from the Mahoney entrance, one and a half
miles away across the hills. He crawled over
the drifts and fallen slate 10 within 100 yards of
the fatal chambers and sounded again and
again, but listened for a response in vain.
The sight about the pits mouth is all the
more pltlab e because of the "a hours an
guish that has rolled over the heads of the rela-
tiyes and friends of the hundreds standing at
the mouth gazing at The columns of smoke that
grow thicker hour by hour. indicating that the

thickly, more so than ever but the rescuers
are hard at work in the Mahoney mine and
hope is still entertained that the imprisoned
men, or some OF them, may be alive in the rear
chambers.

superior for quality and flavor, although
some may except the White Adriatic,
claiming that it is much superior in flavor.
But this is merely matter of taste. Many
believe that the black fig, of the old Mis-
sion variety, as produced in California soil,
is destined TO be the fig of commerce.

THE TUCSON COURT-MARTIAL.
Major KimbaI Raises an Objection to
the Testimony Offered.

TUCSON, June 17th.-The trial by Court martial
of Major A. S. Kimball. Chief Quartermaster of
the Department of Arizona U. s. A, on charge
of negligence in the execution of lease for Of
fees at Tucson, was commenced day. After
the first witness was sworn, Major Kimball en-
tered an objection to the introduction of any
testimony tending to show that the rentals un-
der the leases in question were exorbitant or
that diligence was not used by him to satisfy
himself that the amount of the rent to be paid
by the Government was reasonable and proper
or that the Government was wrongfully re-
quired to pay and did pay under said leases any
rentals whatever. Major Kimball made this
objection on the ground that it is not the duty
of the Chief Quartermaster of the Department
to provide offices.
Major Kimball asserted that it is the duty of
the commanding officer and the Quarterms ster
present at the station TO provide the necessary
quarters and offices, and that the Chief Quarter
master is nowhere recognized as having any
duty whatever in connection herewith.
Captain Miltimore was the local Quarter
master at Tucson, and it was his duty to pro-
vide offices for all the disbursing officers
stationed there. Captain Miltimore did perform
this duty, and afterwards submitted the leases
to the Chief Quartermaster, to be signed as re-
quired by the regulations.
The court.martial adjourned until tomorrow
without taking any action on Major KimbalPs s
objection.

as follows Fred. Yokum, a farmer living near
Plainsburg in this county, lost $50 acres Of fine
wheat low estimate would place the Weld
at 20 bushels per acre. The origin of the fire is
not known. Yokum, as far as is known had no
insurance whatever. The fire spread and de.
stroyed 300 acres of wheat belonging to Henry
Glow. By the good work of large force of
men the fire was checked at this point Glow
was uninsured.
Another fire broke out at noon on the ranch
of Henry Halterman, located three miles north
Of Plainsburg, destroying a barn full of hay
Twenty eight mules were in the barn at the
barn was the property of John Ivett The total
loss in this fire will foot up over $50, 900.
The very heavy underground renders it al
most impossible to put out the fires when once
started, and insurance is the liveliest business
carried on here at present.
