Buried Alive in "A TIine.

On the 9Th of this month an acci-
dent happened in the ore mines of
George w. Hoffman, in Center Twp,
by which that gentleman made
narrow escape from horrible death.
The ore had about all been taken
from the shaft in which they were
working and Mr.. Hoffman was doing
what is known as "robbing the
mine" He had gone into the
''room, and knocked out the key from
the pillow" and had Just stepped
out into the drift" when down
came many tons OF earth upon him.
He was buried alive. The other
miners, Harvey S. Hoffman, Andrew
Orwan and Harry Ayle, heard the
crash and ran to see what was the
matter. To their horror they found
their employer under many feet of
earth. With heroic energy they at
once commenced to dig for him.
John Hostetter was summoned f1om
the top of the shaft and lent his as
sistance until he sickened with hor-
ror. The young men wor ked fran
tically, and fiual!y much to their Joy
heard the voice of Mr.. Hoffman call
ing to thom not TO dig with their
picks for fear OF striking him on the
head. Then thay dug with their
hands tearing off their finger nails
in their efforts TO reach the buried
man before he would smother. At
last his head and face We're uncover
ed aud be WAS saved after having
been buried for twenty minutes un-
der about six feet of groxnd 1t was
an hour later before he was entirely
extricaJei, several tors OF ealth hev-
ing been piled on the Iow9r portion
OF his body. His escaps from death
is almost miraculous and fortunate
ly he wds not seriously hurt. His
nose was broken aud ne was cut and
bruised ia many places, but be hes
now almost entirely recovered. The
occurrence Of this accident has been
kept quiet fer sevsral weeks. but as
the story has now leaked olt we
publish it.-BloomGeld Democrat.

The Inauguration of this service
last year was the theme for comment
and the warmest credentials of
praise bear testimony to the high
standard and perfection of every de
tail promoting the comfort and en-
joyment of the tourists.
Such an opportunity has never
been presented before TO the people
of the East of thoroughly seeing the
vast domain of the country they so
vallantly boast of, as well as such an
opportunity of visiting the interest
ing land of the Aztec, replete with
ruins garlanded with mythical lore.
The rates for the round trip are ex-
ceptionaliy low, aud include not only
all necessary travelling expenses en-
route to the Pacific Coast and return
but also side trips to the attractive
resorts in California, and several
carriage and stage rides of interest.
This applies as to the Mexican tour,
where the objective point will be the
city of Mexico and side trips made
from there. the rate including every
necessary expense as well as hotel
accommodations ard side trips.

EFFECT OF THE LICENSE LAW.

A prohibition leader of Philadelphia,
commenting at length on the recent inter-
view of Mr.. Brooks with regard to the
license law, states his conviction that
''there is nothing in it and it answers no
good purpose" This opinion is amplifed
by a good many other statements TO the gen.
eral effect that the law is useless in decreas-
ing the evils of the liquor traffic, all of
which are sufficiently covered by the sweep
ing assertion already quoted.
1t is not at all surprising that prohibition
idea of the operation of the license law. The
two represent divergent methods of treating
the liquor traffic. Anyone who firmly be-
lIeves that the only way to do is to abolish
it altogether is necessarily unable to see any
good in law which permits the traffic to
exist with restraining provisions as to its
most positive abuses. But the larger num-
Der, who believe either that total prohibition
is impracticable or that it is unjust, will be
able to perceive that the law has wrought
considerable good. 1t is true that, like all
other human agencies, its operation has
been imperfect. The granting licenses
sometimes seems to be governed by mys-
ter ious principle of selection which the Or
binary mind is unable to fathom. The pro-
visions of the law have at times failed of
enforcement, which is principally pertinent
as suggesting that if these provisions are not
enforced, prohibitory enactments would
under the same circumstances be dead let
ter. But the general observation of the law
is to the effect that it has decreased the num-
Der of disorderly saloons, has made it to the
interest of liquor sellers to keep good order,
and has at least mitigated the evil of drum
kenness.
The effect of the law in this respect is even
shown by the words of the Philadelphia as
sailant of the law. 81 have friend in the
Twenty-ninth ward" he says, "who last
year demonstrated against three of the four
saloon keepers In his neighborhood and sue
ceeded in having their licenses revoked. A
few months later the successful applicant
waited upon him and thanked him for what
he had done, as he was now doing the
business of the four saloons" This GER
tainly warrants the conclusion that, in this
case at least, when it was shown that liquor
selling was carried to the extent of pro-
duciEg disc rider, the court stopped it. 1t
also permits us to believe that the retailer
who gained so much by the penalty in
ficted on his rivals will be very careful not
to imperil his prosperity by permitting any
disorder or selling to drunken men. To the
prohibitionist who believes that orderly
drinking is about as bad as the disorderly
kind, this NAV not seem to be any especial
gain; but general opinion is likely to con-
slider it a decided Improvement on no re-
striction at all.
1t will be the general verdict that the
license law, where il has been decently en-
forced, has proved worthy of maintenance
1t should be neither weakened nor cast
aside, but kept in force so as to continue the
Improvement its past enforcement has ef-
fected,

The efforts of the SouthsiSers to get good

nished clear, sparkling water, and it was
confidently predicted that others would soon
be spouting forth Adams ale to quench the
thirst of the people. The water from the
well was all that could be desired, accord
ing to reports, but it evidently had soporifc
qualities, for lately the agitators in favor of
aqueous purity seem TO have been sleeping.
So deep is their slumber that only
few of them could be awakened
sufficiently to attend the meeting
last night to discuss the advisability of
putting down more wells. This state of
affairs is to be regretted. IF the people of
the Southside have concluded that the water
furnished by the regular company is bad,
they have also shown themselves how to get
good, and any neglect will certainly bring
its own punishment.
In the summer moaths good water is .
necessity even more than IN winter, and
