PALEsvILLE, PA, April 2l The exact number of men imprisoned by the Lytle colliery flooding, near Mineville, will be twelve. Water broke in about 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and after six hours agonized imprisonment William Bell and James Doklin, who fled to the high portion of the mine, were rescued through heroic efforts of fellow workmen. The unfortu- nate men who are still impris- oned are undoubtedly drowned as they had no chance of escaping. Like the two rescued John Zerbe, of Lluellyn, married, and Thos. Buggy, of Black Heath, experienced miners with large fami- lies, engaged in timbering, others comprised a gang of Italian laborers in charge of Albert Sea
 bella, still remain in the mine.

ABSOLUTELY PURE

clared Congressman Norton, of Mis-
 souri, at the Laclede. "It is, of
 course, conceded that the newspa-
 per men--and by that term l mean
 the reporters more than the heavy
 browed editors--are potent fac tors in shaping public sen timent, but 1 believe that few people have yet reflected on the in- huence exerted by commercial trav- elers in the same line. The drum mer is regular visitor to every crossroads town in America, and his coming is always hailed with joy. He is the bearer of news from the big cities and smaller towns along his route, and details even more in teresting gossip than the newspaper reporters write. His customer is usually the leading man of the neighborhood, and by giving this merchant all the news, political and otherwise of the out side world, with his characteristically pertinent and pungent comments on each item of information, he is largely instrumental in influencing the merchants opinions and judg- ment of affairs and men. Very of- ten the drummer's visit is the sig nal for the congregation of the farmers of the neighborhood to the country store, and the tillers of the soil sit on nail kegs and cracker boxes for hours, spell bound by the drummer's eloquent and interesting narration of what is going on in the next neighborhood, town or county. Let me have the drummers of this country on my side, and I will stay in congress as long as want to. In fact, I don't know but that they could elect me president of the United States if they tried.

The man who introduced the first canceling machine in the New York general postofiice is employed there now, but he has lived to see his ma chine surpassed. His invention would cancel 4000 stamps in an hour, or less than the average mum Der for skillful man working by hand. Three or four other machines, each little faster than it's prede- cessor, were introduced in turn and discarded. One was invented that far exceeded the speed of tho sxift- est hand worker, and it was used until the discovery was made Chat 1t sometimes cuts through envelopes and damaged their contepts.. Thon tho present machine, which cancels 48, GOO stamps an hour, was intro- duced. The five machines in use at the general postoffiee are run by electricity.

scudder,s Trial Postponed.

CHICAGO, April 22.-Dr. Scud- der, the alleged assassin of his wealthy mother-in-law, Mrs. Dun ton, was arraigned for trial to-day, but his attorney prevented him from making any answer 10 the question, sguilty or not guilty ? and the case went over until next term.
 The proceedings were in the na- ture of legal tilt, the attorneys for Scudder trying, apparently, to put a burden of postponement upon the prosecution, but being defeated. The doctor seemed to take keen interest of what was going on, though Intentionally or otherwise still posing demented.

FITZPATRICK ELECTED
Mayor of New Orleans by rlAree Thonaans
 Majority.


 Majority.
 NEW ORLEANS, April 22. The ring ticket for city offices was land ed by majority of about 5000 The Peoples ticket, headed by Mayor Shakespeare, made 3 gallant strug- gle, but were overwhelmed by the bosses. The Foster ticket made heavy gains in the city, and secured several members of the general as- semblJ.
 Now that the Foster state ticket is elgcted by an overwhelming plu- ralit ,and the Fitzpatrick city ticket hasya small majority, the interest centers in the complexion of the leg islature, which will elect successor |to Senator Randall l.. Gib- son. The Foster meal claim a majority, and will prob ably have, but several of the can- didates that seemed certain of elec- tion have evidently been traded off the state ticket and failed of elec- tion. The McEnery Republican combination has some to do with this also. Senator 0. F. Amacker, one of the men who stood by Foster in the last legislature, has been defeated. Some of the doubtful districts can. not be decided until the official re- turns are received.
 Reports from Concordia show that enough boxes have been stolen to elect some of the McEnery parish officers. A negro was killed last night because he voted for Foster. Several others have been run out of the parish. The feeling is very high, but no trouble is apprehended.

NEW ORLEANS, April p Baker spent most of tho day yesterday and early part of the night in the chapel attached to tho .ari~:4s Tie seemed cl.s.-.s::.i and remained awake until 2 am. chatting pleas antly with reporters, dep uties and members of St. Vincent de Paul Society who were in attendance, Is slept from 2 until 5 this morning in front 5s the altar in the chapel. Upon rising he had his hair cut and in dulged in q shave.
 When Deschamps, visited the chapel, he, together with Baker, re- paired to the sacresty, where they took communion. This ceremony was interrupted by the arrival of Bakers lawyer, who came to inform his client that he intended filing an application for injunction prohibiting the exc cution. The news did not seem to affect Baker, for he knew his case was hopeless, and upon the de- parture of his attorney he resumed religious devotion.
 At l pm. is the time fixed for Bakers execution.
 BAKERS CRIME.
 Philip Bakers crime was one of the most cold blooded murders which has ever been committed in this city in the past ten years.
 Baker was clerk in the grocery store of Neil Nelson, located in Carrollton, suburb of this city. He was a year in Nelson's employ when the crime for which he was hung was committed. Nelson was in well-to- do circumstances, highly esteemed by the community, as was his bride of seven months.
 On the night of March 6 Nelson was in his store closing up accounts and counting money, which had been taken in during the day. Baker was in an adjoining room, and stimulated by desire for wealth, by some unaccountable i'm pulse, he walked into the room, and with a bag of shot which was handy, felled his employer to the floor.
 Nelson ran from the store and sought a friend who lived close by. With the friend he hastened back to the house, and, on entering the store, a horrible sight met his gaze. Upon the floor, at the foot of the stairs leading to the bed chamber, Nelson found the Ifeless body of bis young wife, who was otli1ed in night apparel, and whone throot had been cut from ear ear.
 The fact that the murdered woman was emciente when she met her fate added to the enormity of the crime.
 Baker was suspected of the mur- der, and the police started to search for him. He was found at Kenner, ten miles from the city, on board north bound train. He was brought back to the city and after brief interval was placed on trial. The evidence, while not direct, was circumstantially SO strong as to cause a verdict of guilty to be rendered after a brief consultation by the jury.
 EXECUTED.
 NEW ORLEANS, April 22.-The supreme court refused the applica- ton of Bakers counsel for an in junction restraining the sheriff from executing the governors warrant in the Baker case, and he was executed at l :25 pm.
