A horrible accident occurred at the
Lytle colliery, near Minersville, Pa.
Ten or twelve men are said to have lost
their lives by the flooding of the mine
with an immense body of water that
burst through the old workings. The
colliery officers admit that eight men
are dead, among them Miners Dolbin,
Bell, and Buggy. The works are located
on Primrose Mountain, tapping the great
Wolf Creek colliery, which has lain
idle for some years, owing to the large
accumulation Of wates. Two years ago
the operators began to reopen the tract
by putting in new slopes. Gangways
are being pushed out from these slopes
on all sides of the new workings. The
old water lies there, and 1t was the burst
ing through of one or more of these de-
posits without warning that caught the
miners while at work. 1t is not known
exactly how many men were drowned,
but besides the American miners there
were large number OF Italian and
Hungarian laborers at work inside, and
1t Is thought at least six OF them are
also drowned.

proposed to buy q goat in Harlem,
which he said would strengthen the
Harlem Republican Club and make tho
administration popular in New York
City.
The president and al the members of
the Cabinet indorsed Secretary Elkins'
ideas. A confidential agent OF the adj
ministration was sent to Harlem, and he
bought a promising goat Of the owner
OF a goat farm on the rocks north OF
Central Park
It happened that when the goat ar
rived willis" the coachman. had
taken the Presidents Cleveland bays
and gone out for u drive. By an inad-
vertence OF one of the servants the
goat was not assigned 10 any particular
suite in the presidential stables, but
allowed to ramble around at his own
sweet will and feed on lap-robes, har-
ness and other luxuries which had
been denied him in Harlem. When
willis" returned and opened the barn
door the William goat resented his APP
pearance. He bleated loudly, stood on
his head once or twice and prepared to
greet the coachman. When the greet
ing was over willis" was worse for
the wear. By the aid Of one Of his
staff he managed finally to lock tho
goat in an empty stall, and next pro-
iceeded to take On inventory of the sup
plies of the stable. He found two or
three boxes of axle grease gone, the
harness chewed up in a frightful man
ner, and an old mackerel kit, in which
he had stock Of linseed oil, had been
drained of its contents and upset.
willis" instituted an inquiry at once
to learn how the goat happened to be
installed in the barn, and when he
learned the true cause he went into a
case of sulks and hasn't got over 1t yet.
willis" has submitted an ultimatum
customary with high officials when they
threaten TO resign, that the President
must either accept the resignation of
his hated rival, the William goat, or the
coachman's.

ANARcHIsM IN ENGLAND.
incitements to- Assassination Published
In tho Suppressed Organ.

I'm the Suppressed Organ.
English anarchist organs everywhere
have assumed great violence OF tone,
evidently with the object of embittering
the feelings OF the workingmen before
May Day. The Commonweal, the paper
seized by the police In London, Is a
four-page paper, which describes itself
as a revolutionary journal OF anarchlsm
and communism. 1t calls Henry Mat
thews, the Home Secretary, jesuitical
monster, who murders men because OF
q few head of game, referring 10 the ex-
ecution of two poachers who killed a
gamekeeper. Justice Hawkins, who pre-
sided at the trial OF the Walsall anarch-
lists, is termed hycna preying upon the
bodies OF hanged men and whose love
OF the gallows a few years ago won for
him the title of "Hangman Hawkins.
This barbarous BRUTE" the Common
veal adds, while prating of his human
ity, sends our comrades to ten years
confinement In prison hell" Contin-
uing, the paper asks: What OF the spy
Melville, who sets agents to concoct
plots which he discovers? Are these
men fit to llve?" Melville Is Chief In
spector of Scotland Yard. Through the
arrest in London of one OF the Walsall
conspirators Inspector Melville learned
of the existence Of club In Walsall, the
principal members of which we're en-
gagged in making bombs, 1t was said, for
use in Russia. Acting in conjunction
with the Walsall police, Inspector Mel
vile arrested six of the conspirators and
procured the evidence on which they
were convicted.

Sipole and Lizzie Dennis Sent to the PenI-

Malvin d. Sipole, known as Albert
King, told the story OF the abduction of
young Beals In the Criminal Court at
Kansas City, Wednesday. Judge White
sentenced the kidnaper to confinement
in the penitentiary for four years. The
crowd pressed close to the clerks desk
while Lizzie Dennis, with sobs, told of
Der sSih sef;; "iedperrsoii, who made her
his dupe, of the development of the kid
napers' plot by the two men who went
to Kansas City intending not 10 work.
She told OF the theft of the child and Its
return when the offer of reward was
made, and then she asked for mercy.
When the woman's story was ended she
was sentenced to two years in the peni-'
tentiary.
That Sipole and his confederates in
tended to kidnap DIR. j. ID. Griffith and
hold him for ransom was proved, when
Lizzie Dennis told one of her attorneys
that when she came to Kansas City
with Sipole and Ralston 1t was with the
intention of kidnapping certain wealthy
citizens and holding them for ransom.

ment over that or fourteen Gays ago.
The weather has been 80 wet and cold
that In some of the best counties In this
important area Of the winter wheat
belt the crop has a sickly appearance.
and some fields are turning yellow.
In Michigan the weather has been
cool and wet. Wheat has made slow
growth, and, on the whole, the crop has
held its own. Spring work Is back
ward, and there have been but few oats
seeded yet. Farmers are selling but
little wheat, and millers are carrying
small stocks. Prices are low, and
farmers will carry over good deal un-
less the prices advance considerably.
Central Kansas reports during the
last few days that there has been some
slight Improvement In the winter wheat
situation It is still small In growth,
but is stooling out well. In Northern
Kansas harvest will be ten days late.
The crop has made slow growth, as the
ground Is packed from too much heavy
rain. The general conditions are not
as good as those OF year ago. The
season Is late and tho outcome mixed.
Southern Kansas reports that they have
had little growing weather so far; that
the wheat harvest will be from two to

late sown Is a better stand than the
early.
Southern Missouri reports that the
wheat is still small, and that with hot
and dry weather In the near future the
crop will not amount to much, but II the
weather continues cool and damp the
prospects are for q good crop; not as
large as was made last year, however.
A correspondent from Central Missouri
says that "he goes n goo1 deal on the
pulse of the farmers" they are quiet
now on the wheat question. and 80 long
as they keep quiet he considers the crop
in fair shape; but the crop is not as good
by 20 per cent. as 1t was this time last
year.
Condition of Corn.
BY the end of the third week In April
at least two-thirds OF the corn lands of
the great corn surplus States of the
West ought TO be plowed and ready for
planting. Such, however, was not the
case this spring. 1t is only on lands
which have been underdrained, and
Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio, where there
has been any progress in plowlng for
corn worth reporting.
In Kansas and Missouri there has
been little corn planted, but no mat
ter how much land was ready, with the
ground cold. wet, and soggy 1t would be
simply the height of folly to attempt to
put the seed in the ground, for it would
only rot and have to be replanted.
There has been little land plowed for
corn in Iowa, and the great surplus corn
State, Nebraska, has made no headway
with this most important crop.
The reserves of old corn in farmers
hands are still firmly held, and with the
lateness of the season, the backward
ness with the work on the farms, and
the uncertainty which must necessarily
follow season like the present, farmers
will not be inclined to sell their surplus
after corn planting, as they usually do
at that season OF the year. Hence the
surplus corn this spring will be carried
over until late in the fall If not until the
opening of 1898.

and it was all brought about because of
a Harlem goat which Baby Mckee ac-
quired recently.
week ago Baby Mckee suddenly
formed an idea that he wanted to drive
out on his own account, and concluded
that a bearded goat and red wagon
would be about the proper sort of turn
out. When he suggested the sche me 10
his illustrious q andfather, the latter ve-
toed it, but there went up such wall at
once that Baby McKee-who, by the
way, is an infant industry old enough TO
be spanked instead OF encoura9 d-was
given his way, and one OF the livericd
servants Of the executive mansion was
sent out into the hedges and the high
ways, commissioned to acquire a sad
eyed William goat with unimpaired di-
gestion, a creditable imperial, and which
would drive well hitchcd to red wagon.
Such goat was found TO be commodity
only In the Harlem market, and one was
the Presidential stable at the dictation
of the grandson.
1t is believed that the purchase OF the
goat in New York was shrewd politi-
cal move to strengthen the Rdministra-
ton. 1t Is said on the authority of
gentleman who Is quite near to the Ad-
ministration-being a doorkeeper-that
the purchase Of the goat was discussed
in q Cabinet meeting. Secretary Tracy
proposed Brooklyn goat and said that
very vivacious and intelligent goats
abounded In Brooklyn.
Postmaster General Wanamaker pro-
posed an Angora goat. President Har-
rison objected that it would be unpat-
triotic to import foreign goat. All the
members of the cabinet then agreed
that 1t would excite the antagonism OF
the goat industry OF the United States
to bring a goat from abroad. Secretary
Rusk, speaking for the Agricultural De-
partment, thought 1t would be wise to
get goat with long whiskers, like SEN
ator PETERS. Secretary Of War Elkins
