The Rescued Miners.

HAzLEroN, Pa, Feb. 24.-An Associated
Press representative was on the ground at
s O'Clock this morning when four men
were brought up from the GAINESVILLE mine.
An immense crowd, wild with excitement,
surrounded the mouth of the slope. After
being carefully removed from the trucks of
the slope, the men were carried to the
Sons of Temperance hall. 1t was a strange,
but g%lad-hearted procession. Many of the
miners had not had their clothes off for
days, so vigorously was the search prose-
cuted. The hall is about a mile from the
slope. When the procession of mon, with
lamps, burning in their mining hats and
their black and glistening clothing glim-
mering in the moonlight, arrived in front
of their employers home, some started to
sing the doxology and the company Of
miners and people Joined In the refrain:
"Praise God from whom all blessings flow"
for indeed they were but ech0ing the senti.
ment of the entire region. Mrs. Hayden
and family came outside and accompanied
blankets and c0mfOrtables were placed
over and around the men. Arag mOistened
with lime juice was placed to their lips
and they eagerly grasped it. Then small
doses of brandy and milk were given them,
but only q spoonful at a time. The men
are too weak to make any statement.
RELICS n THE NINE.
Caleb Williams had the lamp of one of
men containing a small supply of oil. He
also has q piece Of wood taken from q
small pile where the men were found.
This wood had been gathered for the pur-
pose of building a fire with which to keep
off the chill. of the water. Why the fire
was not started remains in doubt. Ex-
hauustion may have overtaken the men and
prevented the contamination of the project
At any rate it was providential, for had
they built q fire, the air would. soon have
become vitiated. and they would have per-
ished as did Ball, Reed and two other vic
Tins, Of suffocation. This afternoon, it is
said, Joe M~astuskowitch is rapidly grow

strong enough to talk. Much comment is
heard as to the future movements of the
rescued men, would they be returned to
health and strength. Already parties are
eager to secure them ana exhibit them
from place to place and have them relate
the awful story of their sufferings. The
men had no exact idea Of the time they
were ent0mbed, but knew 1t must have been
several weeks, from their condition and
exhaustion. There were no traces of can
nibalism, and the men, who were all Of
hard constitution, weakened and became
exhausted gradually. 1t is evident the
idea of subsisting on n Of their number
did not come to them at all.

WASHINGTON, April S.-Mr. Edward
o. Leech, director of the mint, will
probably issue a circular to-day to ar
lists for new designs for subsidiary
coins. The general features of the pres
ent coins will be preserved to con-
siderable extent. The coins to be
changed are the silver dollar, the half
dollar, the quarter dollar and the dime.
These changes are to be made under the
act passed at the last session of con-
gress which appropriated Sl5O,O00 for
the purpose and is available July l.
Director Leech thinks that from S., ,O00,-
600 to So, 900, 900 of the unavailable asset
of $40, 100000 in the treasury can be re-
coined with this appropriation. The
gold coins are considered satisfactory
and will not be changed. The manda-
tory coinage of the silver dollar ceases
on July /. After that date the trade
dollars bullion in the treasury will be
recoined into silver dollars. The de-
signs after being selected, will not be
changed for % years. The circular will

The common and necessary operation
of sweeping the floor of a school-room,
factory or other large apartment is gen.
orally carried out with great inconven-
ience to the sweepers, and with the re-
suit that large proportion of the dust
removed from the ground is transferred
to every object in the room where it can
find resting place. The air, too, is
contaminated for a long time afterward
with floating particles, which are very
distressing to those who have to breathe
in it. All this can be avoided by dis
pensing with the common practice of
sprinkling the floor with water previous
to the use of the broom and by applying
the moisture in a different way. BY lay
ing n line of wet sawdust right across
one end of the apartment and by sweep
ing it foot by foot to the other end, it
will in it's passage lick up every bit of
dust without raising any in the air. BY
adding to the wet sawdust small pro
portion of any disinfectant it is obvious
that the cleaning will be still more ef-

The majority of well-read phys
icians now believe that Consunp-
ton is a germ disease. In other
words, instead of being in the con-
stitution itself it is caused by innu-
merable small creatures living in the
lungs having no business there and
eating them away as caterpillars do

A Germ The phlegm that is

Disease. parts of the lungs

little bacilli, as the germs are called,
are too small to be seen with the
naked eye, but they are very much
alive just the same, and enter the
body in our food, in the air we
breathe, and through the pores Of
the skin. Thence they get into the
blood and finally arrive at the lungs
where they fasten and increase with
frightful rapidity. Then German
Syrup comes in, loosens them, kills
