THE CHAMPION PEAcEMAKER.
One Case in Which Tie Was LamentabIe
Failure.

A certain elder in ChicagO's earliest
days was a shining success as a peace
maker. He had spoiled sundry law
suits growing out of ancient dOg-fghts,
which had kept the community i'm ex-
element and the lawyers in fees for,
10. these many years. lie had healed
neighborhood quarrel over line fence
So completely that the parties to the
strife came out and publicly shook
hands over the very fence that had
caused the dissension.
But there remained one more triumph
for which the soul of the ambitious
elder thirsted before he was ready to
claim the promise laid down to peace
makers in the sermon on the mount.
He longed to bring the warning sOuls
of Squire Buck and another ancient
sinner by the name of Ephriam Tibbs
into state of forgiving harmony.
Each had repeatedly stal1ed the eter-
nal welfare of his soul on the state
ment that he was the first settler in
Chicago; that his first-born was the first
white child born in the township: that
his dog had always licked his enemy's
y
est man that ever set foot inside the
township, Injuns not excepted; and,
finally, that every body knew that this
arch enemy treated his wimmin folks
like dogs, and had robbed the town
every time he had lied himself into Of
fce!'
At last the ancient Ephraim fell sick.
lie fingered so long that the forCiving
and excusing things which people were
holding for post-mortem purposes be-
gan TO leak ont. The elder saw his OPP
portunity He had faith to believe that
this softening influence had penetrated
to the hardened and reprobate heart of
the squire.
In the last moments of the aged Eph-
rain the elder sought the squire in full
confidence that he could not refuse a
reconciliation. Unfortunately he found
the squire was in the Office where he
dealt ont '.iestice" to a degenerate
world. A few partisans of the squire,
and one or two friends of the dying
Ephraim. rested their heels upon the
attorneys table or tilted their chairs at
dizzy angles against the scrubbed walls
of the Justices Office. In mournful
and mellow voice the elder said:
Squire, Brother Ephriam Tibbs is
at the point of death and"
''TIe is. eh?'' broke in the squire, talk
ing his pipe from his mouth and knock
ing the ashes onto the tobacco picked
bricks of the store platform. Moth
ing strange about that, elder. Can't
expect man who's lied all his life ter
quit when he gifts ter the point OF
death, 'Tain't in human natur' to quit
that suddin,''
The elder went out minus the cap
sheaf to his peaeemaking record
When the squire passed away it was
thought discreet to secure a preacher
other than the thwarted elder to pro-
nounce the squire's eulogy .-Forrest
Crissey, in Chicago Mail.

DEATH IN THE DEPTHS.

vsnia Mine Causes the Loss OF Ten
Iives-severaI Men Injured.
WHKEsBARRE, Pa, Nov. 9 Another
horrible accident has been added to the
long list of mine disasters in the anthsa
cite region. Sunday evening number
of men went down No shaft of the
Susquehanna Coal Company at Nanti-
coke for the purpose of inspecting some
of the workings. As the men were going
along the safety lamp of the leader sud-
denly blazed up, and before they could
retreat it exploded. Instantly the mine
was mass of flames and the poor vic
Tins were enveloped in il. So great
was the force of the explosion that they
were dashed against the walls q the
breasts and not only burned, bat some
of them were mangled almoss beyond
recognition. Seven men were instant
ly killed and three died soon after be-
ing taken out of the mine.
The force of the explosion was so
great that it was felt above ground
and the inhabitants of the town only
knew too well what had happened In
an instant the place was scene of
confusion. Hundreds of people, in
Guiding the children, brothers and
sisters of the men in the mine.
rushed to the shaft The smell
of the fatal after damp that found
its way to the surface only added to
the fever of suspense, and all these
anxious ones could do was to wait.
The officials of the mine soon had a
band of brave volunteers together, the
engines We're set in motion, and they
were sent into the subterranean cav
erns. They CROPPED their way through
the darkness and soon came upon
their fellow-workmen. One by one
the unfortunate men were tenderly
lifted and carried to the foot of the
shaft and were hoisted to the surface.
Ambulances were soon on hand and
some of the men were taken to their
homes. Others were taken there on
stretchers. The force of the ex-
plosion had hurled the men against
the walls of the mine as if they
were feathers. large mine cars that
were standing on the track were
picked up and smashed into splinters,
and fragments of flesh were found
among the wrecked cars. One of the
rescuing party told thrilling story
of the search for the victims.
They almost lost their way in
the darkness, and they felt the
gas and after damp coming upon
them. Some of the number were
growing faint and could go no further
when they providentially found the air
current and we're saved from fate as
horrible as those met for whom they
were searching. The explosion was
caused by the men attempting to
