HAPPY FRoGs-GRovER CLEVELAND, DAVE
HILL AND TOM REED MAKE OUT TO GET
THEIR SHARE OF LIVE NICE.
HARTFORD, Sept. Back of his resi-
| dence on Pennington avenue Pliny Jewell
has pond of frogs. Three times week,
when he rings bell at o'clock, the frogs
gather round him on the bank to get their
feast of live mice. The goldfish also swarm
to the place and the trees are filled with
birds. The frogs will eat only live mice.
The tails of the mice are slipped into q slit
| in the stick and then the frogs Jump for
the delicacies, swallowing them at their
leisure under the water.
| A Courant man, who Witnessed the sight
recently, says: "Grover Cleveland is the
biggest of the lot and headed the process
sion. He wears q full 19-inoh collar and
takes everything he can get. On this par
ticular afternoon he swallowed three mice
and was evidently mad that the supply gave
out SO soon. he wanted more. Dave Hill
is another big fellow, and he tries to get
Growers prizes from him when he can.
Tom Reed is another autocrat of the pond.
He is the only republican in the collection,
but he knows no fear and gets his full share
every time"
| 1t is impossible to raise frogs in the pond,
as the old ones devour the young ones.
They also occasionally snap a sparrow that
| flies too close to their noses.

A Homestead Man Charges Them with
Inventing Poison Stories TO Avert
Damage Suits.
UNIoNrowN, Pa, Dec. 24-Thomas ].
Crawford, the boss roller in the Colum-
bia Iron and Steel works, has been inter
viewed on the Homestead poisoning. He
was president Of the famous advisory
board, and is now under Si3, 600 bail on
the charge Of treason and riot. He said
Homestead has an unhealthy
location. The water is bad and person
has TO become aeclimated so TO speak
before he can live in the town without
getting sick. The large number of
strange men In the mill become sick
from this cause, some dying.
"The company feared that the wives
and other relatives of the men who died
would bring suit for damages. They
concluded to shift the responsibility by
arresting the strikers on the charge Of
poisoning these men. The witnesses are
simply mercenary. IL would be much
easier for the company to pay these men
81, 600 or IS, 900 than to pay out $500, 00C
for damages.

A READING MINE AFIRE.
ONE OF THE LARGEST OF GOLFERS
ENRAPT IN FLAMES.

Fire, Discovered Late Yesterday After
noon, Rages Furiously In the Coal Drifts
battling Firemen Narrowly Escape
Death-Fire-E Eaten Timbers Cause a
Cavern.
PoTTsvILLE, Pa, Dec 24.-Fire was
discovered in the Reading Company's
West Mahoney City colliery last night,
and has been burning since, working its
way into the inner workings. The
damage already runs high into the thou
sands.
The fire was discovered at o'clock
yesterday afternoon since which time 1t
has been raging most furiously in the
decayed timbers, taking a course toward
the main part of the mine. In spite of
the endeavors of a hundred or more men,
using several lines of hose, it had at
o'clock reached the Buck Mountain vein,
which was worked some years ago
through this drift. The origin Of the
fire is as yet unknown.
AS soon as the fire was discovered
prompt means were taken to subdue it
before it reached the inner workings. A
number of miners entered the drift, TO
fight the flames. They had gone in a
considerable distance when Fire Boss
Witchey and Miner Henry Dernstael
were overcome by the gas and dropped
over. All were more or less affected,
but they managed to DIR. G the two men
about forty yards toward the mouth OF
the drift, where they received assistance
from the outside. Both men are in 9
serious condition.
When water was first thrown on from
the line of hose operated by SwanstOn
Eltringham an explosion occurred which
hurled him several yards down the drift
badly burning and injuring him, but not
fatally.
At o'clock this morning a terrible
crash was heard and that part of the
drift directly beneath the boiler house
caved in, carrying eight sets of boilers
sixteen in all, into the breach. The fir,
is now being fought from the slope, anC
although It is still burning furiously a.
10 o'clock this morning the officials hav'
hopes that by cutting of this part of the
mine from all draught and the use o
plenty of water, it can be gotten undel
control
The firemen who have charge of the
boilers now say that they have noticed
for some time the presence of fire some
where, but could not locate it (; and there
fore did not notify the officials, thinking
it of no consequence.
The North Mahanoy colliery is one o
the largest coal producers in the Maha
noy valley. It's present capacity is abou
500 tons daily, employing over 800 mel
and bows.
