A Supposed Dead Woman Reviyes and
Says She Wants to be Baptized.
SPsINGFIELD, o., Feb. 5.-A sensation of
no small proportions is exciting the people
in the vicinity of South Yellow Springs

life of a woman some time dead. The
woman is Mrs. George Tyree OF West

been a chronic invalid from consumption,
the illness being augmented by a severe

been gradually growing worse, and Mon
day afternoon she was seized with a spell
of difficult breathing. Her breath came in
gasps and at 2 O'Clock, to all appearances,
life left the body M the wo-
man was pronounced dead. Soon
after she began to show slight
signs of life. but by 5 o'clock the body was
again seemingly lifeless and all hopes were
again given up and arrangements made
for proper care of the body, an undertaken
being summoned. Before he could arrive,
however, the woman again revived and

ANOTHER NINE DISASTER,
This Time it is II Fire, But no Loss of

This Time it is II Fire, But no Loss of
Life.
WILKES BARRE, Pa, Feb. 6-FOllowing
close upon the heels Of the drowning Of the
seventeen men at GAINESVILLE and three at
Nanticoke, comes another mining disaster
which, although unattended by loss of life.
means enforced idleness and consequent
privation to six or seven hundred miners
in Nanticoke. The gas feeder IN the No.
I lift of the No. 4 slope of the Susquehanna
Coal company at that place was to-day ig-
nited by men who were driving new OPEN
ings. The feeder rapidly increased until
the flames spread along the face of the
workings, setting fire to the coal and dirty
ing the men to the surface. In a short
time the interior of the mine was a mass of
flames, roaring like a furnace and threat
ening total destruction to the entire under
ground workings. Preparations were made
as soon as possible to flood the workings.
and a trough 200 feet long was thrown
down the slope to carry water into the
mine. The trough was completed this
evening and a large volume of water is
pouring down the slope. Whether this
will e%Xtinguish the flames is a question no
one can decide as yet. In any case, the
work of flooding the mine, which is a large
one. may require months. and in the mean
time hundreds of min ers will be thrown
die at a season of the year when steady
work is most needed.

ury.
BosTON, Feb. 6-The Boston Courant,
the organ OF the colored people in this
city, contains this week an editorial urg.
ing the president to till the vacancy caused
by the death of Secretary Window by the
appointment of a colored mar as secretary
of the treasury. Hon. b. X. Bruce, ex
Ilaytian Minister John IN. Langston, ex-
Congressman Lynch, Hon. Frederick
Douglass and Recorder James NJ. Town
send are named as colored men amply
qualified to fill the position. The editorial
says: WAS not Hon. Benjamin Harrison
elected solely BY the black men? 1t is
conceded on all hands that he was. Even
the president himself admits it. In view
of these ~indisputable facts a cabinet posi-.
ton is not at ali too large a gift for presi-
dent Harrison to bestow upon the faithful
colored republicans who made him the
head of the nation.

What the Indians Want.

WASHINGTON, Feb, 9.-COnference with
the Sioux Indian delegation was resumed
this morning by the commissioner of Indi-.
an affairs. Commissioner Morgan said he
thought they had already heard all that
was necessary in regard to the past. What
was wanted now was to hear their plans
for the future. He was prepared to issue
100000 worth OF beef to Indians who were
entitled to receive it, which wa cut off in
the past. Senator Dawes, who was pres
ent, said If the Indians did their part and
We're Industrious, the government would
undoubtedly do its part and help them to
become self-supporting. The first speaker
from the Indian delegation was White
Ghost, of the Crow Creek reservation, who
spoke of the encroachment OF tile whites
upon the lands of the Indians. The COM
missioner assured him that he would have
that matter fully investigated and rene
died. He spoke OF the rations of coffee and
sad that 1t amounted to only 100 grains a
week to each person. lie referred to the
small ration of bacon issued and
said that, at a meeting of the
delegation yesterday, a unanimous decis-
ion was reached that they did not want
lllilltdly agents. commissioner Morgan
called the attention of the Indians to the
difficulty in getting a correct census of the
Indians. He said he wanted the aid OF the
indians in getting at the truth. Big Name.
Of Lower Brule agency, told Commissioner
Morgan that the white people prevented
the Indians from getting fuel and hay. He
wanted the agency moved nearer, as they
needed better school facilities. He COM
planned of the small size of the beet cattle
given them for food. and humorously at
tributed it to the defective eyesight of the
agent. Little No Heart, from Cheyenne
River agency, said his people wanted more
and larger schools where their children
could learn the white mans ways.
He protested against the appointment
OF military agents. The commissioner
said that inasmuch as nearly all who had
spoken and expressed some desire he
wished to learn how many of the members
OF the delegation were in favor of civil
agents and how many in favor of military
agents. and asked such of the Indians
as preferred civil agents to stand up.
With a single exception they all stood up.
The only one who preferred a military
agent was Major Swordes. chief of the
Indian police at Pine Ridge. Mad
Bear, from Standing Rock. said
his reservation insisted upon more reser.
Walton schools. If schools were located on
The reservation their influence would be

interest was ELECTED. Another conference
will be held Wednesday when Indians
from Pine Ridge and Rosebud agencies
will speak.

Another Immense Pump Will Probably

H~AZELTON, Pa, Feb. 6.-Every effort is

fateful mine by means of pumping ma
chinery. To the two Duplex pumps and
one Cameron o in position was added
another Cameron to day. If no greater
progress is made towards emptying the
mine than has been made during the past
As hours it is probable that the immense
plunger pump with a capacity of several
thousand gallons per minute will be
placed in position. Among some of the
miners at the village there is hope that
death has not swallowed up all the inpris-
oned men. These hopeful ones urge that
there are portions of the breasts in the
fatal lift of the flooded slope where some
OF the men may have sought refuge, and
where ventilation is sufficient to sustain
life for a time. With more experienced
men this theory is scotfed at.
