Fresh Air.

of the fan house in No. 3 coal mine, the sup
ply Of fresh air was cut off from over 200 men
working below. The limited supply in the

something awful. In the rush for the en-
trance the men grew weaker Mt each step
and gasped for breath. 1t is thought all
escaped. The mine will be closed for some

A GOOD THING.
Cameron Thought Silver WAS Purchase
and BOnght Some.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-David T. Littler.
of Illinois, who was mentioned as the agent
of Senator Cameron in the purchase of sill
yer bullion, appeared before the silver pool
investigating committee to-day. After re-
lating how he had bought and sold between
0O0O and $5O.ODO worth of silver early in
the summer. before any legislation on the
matter was had, Littler WAS asked if he had
purchased any for Senator Cameron. He
replied; "Ycs / bought u small amount
for Cameron; do not remember the exact
amount; about $l00.000 worth; that was
some two or three weeks after made pur-
chase on my own account. and it WAS dur
ing pending silver legislation. It was be-
fore congress had enacted legislation OH it.
No, don't remember the exact date. but it
was before final action.''
"Did yon buy for any other senator, repre-
| sentative or government ofiiciali''
II did not offer to do so ! want to state
about Cameron. He met me ono day after
had been talking with divers members,
senator's and others. did not seek to dis
guise the fact that / had bought some silver,
feeling that / had right to: do it, and
gave as my opinion, when asked, that silver
was purchase and that there WAS money
in it. Cameron knew | had purchased

think he opened the subject although l do
not remember about it,"
Littler said he bought forty or fifty
thousand dollars worth of silver for him.
self, and few weeks later n hundred thous-
and dollars worth for Senator Cameron.
10th transactions were prior TO final action
on silver legislation. 1ittler said he wished
to characterize in the most unequivocai
terms the general statement that he had
Teen connected with silver pool. looking
to the influencing of legislation. as an un-
qualified lie. When asked about the repu-
tation of Owenby, who had been mentioned
in connection with the alleged silver pool
lie said Owenby seemed a clever fellow. but
he would think better of him when he got
back some of the money he had loaned
Owcnby. Littler said he had no knowl-
edge OF any silver pool: he never asked
any one III congress TO vote for
silver legislation. and he went into
the speculation without the solicitation OF
any one. As near ms he could remember he
made less than $500 and more than $500 in
til. transaction. Cameron made between
$1,000 and 81 100. No representative. ssna-
tor or other government officer had ever
told witness he Was interested in silver.
'fhe attention OF witness being called to
the testimony Of Vest, he said he had
talked with yest as with Cameron ani
others. Littler further said he never of
fered any monetary or other Inducements
whatever. except TO express tho opinion
that there would be an advance in silver.
