ance near Kirlk,in, Ind. A few days ago
one of the children OF the family of John
Wyman was attacked with a peculiar
disease that baffled all medical skill. and
in forty-eight hours the child was dead.
One after another the children out of a
family of four contracted the disease and
died When the mother, Mrs Wyman,
died, the father and husband became a
raving maniac. The description OF the
disease is almost too dreadful 10 realize
For the first few hours the patient is af-
fected with a mild fever, the tongue then
becomes inhaned aud assumes huge pro-
portions. The organ then turns very black
in color, decomposition sets in, and in the
paroxysms of the most intense suffering
death ensues. Physicians say the disease
Is known to them only as il is described in
medical books, and that its home is in Asia,
where among the natives it is as fatal as
cholera. They call it Asiatic black tongue,
and confess their utter inability to combat
it's deadly work. Later news from the
affected district says seven new cases are
reported beginning with the same symp-

from the shaft the scene was narrowing in

owning TO the fact that this was Sunday
there were but fourteen men at work in
the mine. A searching party was organ
lied as soon as possible and the brave men
went down the mine TO rescue their fellow
workmen. They had struggled before
with the dangerous afterdamp, and after
almost losing themselves in the cavern,
cropping In the dark, came upon the bodies
Of the victims. Some were beheaded and
others disemboweled. 1t was fearful
spectacle. The remains were taken to the
mouth OF the shaft, and from there to their
late homes in ambulauces and on stretch
ers. After each one followed the mans
wife and children. OF the IA men in the
mine six were killed instantly, six died
in a short time and the other two cannot
survive. The explosion was caused by the
attempt of one Of the men TO change the

Seventeen Drop to a swim Death.

The worst mining accident of the year
took place at the Anaconda mine 81 Butte
City, Mont, on the 4th when IL miners
were killed by cage dropping. The time
to shift the gangs of men had come and a
cage full OF miners returning from work
stepped out into the open air. Their places
were at once taken OF 10 men and the cage
was started for the depths below. The
rope had been unwound bat a couple Of
times from the slowly revolving windlass
when there was sudden sharp snap, a
cry OF horror from the shaft in which the
cage had but moment before disappeared.
The rope had broken and the cage with its
10 inmates was precipitated TO the bottom
of the shaft 1t was some little time be-
fore any assistance could be sent them.
The shaft down which they had plunged TO
death was useless and other ways of get
ting at the place where they had fallen
were roundabout Fortunately for the
dead and dying a number OF miners who
were through work and waiting to be re-
lieved were at the bottom of the shaft
waiting for the cage TO take them out
Amidst them, narrowly missing some.
the cage dashed. 1t broke, and before
their eyes were the mangled bodies of
their companions whom they were await
ing. There was little, however, that could
be done. OF the 10 men who had made the
fearful ride, IL were dead, their forms
crushed out Of all semblance TO those of
human beings, while the two who were yet
breathing had no hopes Of recovery.
