COAL MINER INJURED.
Narrow Escape OF Workman Near Ouna
burg.

burg.
George Ohlinger, a coal miner resid-.
ing near OSnaburg, came near losing his
life last Friday while running loaded
coal cars out of q mine and over a
tressel some fifteen feet high.
The mine is owned by Albert Smith
and is very productive one. Ohlinger
loaded three cars with black diamonds
and hitched a mule to the front one to
pull them out of the deep mine. Just
outside of the entrance to the shaft is a
high tressel from which the coal is
dumped down into the wagons below.
The outfit had just emerged from the
hole and rolled upon the tressel when
one of the cars slipped off the narrow
track and fell down to the earth
below pulling along thu Car behind it,
Ohlinger was seated on one of the fol-
lowing cars and was thrown some dis
tance to the side of the badly demolish-
cd car. The poor mule Jared quite as
badly. Instead of dropping to the
ground below, the harness caught in
the tressel above and he hung suspend
ed there with his head downward about
two feet from the ground. Workmen
in the mine were called out and the
animal released. Ohlinger was badly
shaken up and bruised but escaped
severe injury.

MADRID, Dec. 3.-The rioters who

on street corners and thousand or more

During this demonstration Senior Sagasta,

greeted with cheers from all sides and
many followed him, calling out their
approval of his course in advocating the
prosecution of the municipal authorities.
Crowds continued to gather in the
open spaces until II o'clock last night.
Mounted police moved in squads through
the city and dispersed them as fast as
they assembled. All the troops in the
city were held in readiness to respond
to the first call for assistance, and the
guards at the government buildings and
the palace were doubled.
The uneasiness felt by the weather.
classes is little less than a panic The
police and military are preparing for
more trouble, as no one believes that the
demonstration has spent itself. The
bitterness against the government is
intense among the labormg classes, and
popular feeling against the whole gov
ernment is so thoroughly aroused that it
can be allayed only by the retirement Of
the cabinet IN body.

How tho AncIents Noved Stone,

An unfinished obelisk in a quarry at Sy-
enc shows how the ancients separated these
immense monoliths from the native rock.
A groove marking the boundary of the
stone contained n number Of holes into
which wooden wedges were firmly driven.
The groove was then filled with water and
the swelled wedges cracked the granite the
whole length Of the groove. The detached
block was then pushed forward upon roll
ers made from palm trees to large timber
raft on the edge Of the Nile, where it re-
mained until the next inundation hoated
the raft to the city where the ODE lisk was
to be set up.
Thousands Of hands then pushed it on
rollers up an inclined plane to the front Of
the temple, where it was to stand. The
pedestal had previously been placed in
position, and firm causeway of sand cov-
cred with planks led 20 the top of it. Then,
by means Of rollers, levers and ropes made
of date palm, the obelisk was gradually
hoisted into an upright position. In no
case has an obelisk been found to be out of
the true perpendicular.-P Opinion.

Served Terms in the Pen.
COLUMBUS, o., Dec. 3.-The cow
killer, Judd Holland, alias Budd, a col
ored ex-conviCt, was caught yesterday
at his house on North Third street, near
the Union depot. Some days ago he
was seen milking COW and driven
away. That night the COW was killed.
Putting the two facts together a clew
was obtained, and, following the man
upon a description Of his person. Officers
Feist and Richard Owens effected his
arrest.
The officers found in Hollands house
the bloody knife and bits of hide by
which some of the dead cows were iden-
fed. A bit of hide was also found
where Holland dropped it a few nights
ago while being chased. One of his
freaks was to cut certain portions from
the animal. These being found fix his
identity as the COW killer beyond ques-
tion. In a word, all the necessary proof
against him has been obtained except
seeing him stick the knife in the COWS.
Holland served in the penitentiary for
burglary, larceny and arson. He has
killed dozen or more COWS.

The statement IN Free Russia that n

"There in the lower deck and under the

all divided off into the cells. These cells,
it is quite apparent, are very numerous,
for large number of barred iron doors are
being provided for them. AS described to
us, the doors resemble gates made of fat
iron, and ribbed with tubes about one inch
in diameter and about five or six inches
apart. 4 don't think there is any accom-
mediation in her for first class passengers,

ut further appears that it is no secret in
the town of Dumbarton that the ship in

that the ship will be launched in the

ample opportunities of testing his theory.
Both Professor Won Pettenkofer and fel.
low scientist swallowed quantities of chol-
era bacilli with no evil result. The pro-
fessor thinks that the local surroundings
must be predisposed to an epidemic before
the cholera can spread, while, like most
other authorities he believes in serious
return Of the disease next year. Should
the season be dry the epidemic will be all
the worse, though the late great rainfall
has probably cleared the air.

RELENTLESS JUSTICE.
How Express Companies Treat
Their Despoilers.
MERCY Is BUT RARELY SHOWN.

The Remarkable Case of George j. Bag
ley, Who Stole Pot of Money, Was Ar
rested, Gave Up His "swag" and There
upon Secured Temporary Leniency.
The recent astonishing performance of
Express Messenger George j. Bagley steal
ing 100000 and giving it up but a day
later, the quickness with which the com
pany moved and their leniency to the
guilty man have again directed public at
tention to the methods of express COM
panies. In hunting down those who haYe
robbed them they are untiring; in punish
ment usually relentless. The thief who
has robbed one of them may live many
years, but he can never again feel perfectly
safe. OF all the inmates of penitentiaries
those who have robbed express companies
stand the least chance Of pardon, for as n
matter of business principle the companies
never lose sight of them.
Many years ago, before such robberies
became so common, q messenger on an
Illinois road threw out package contain
ing an immense sum (reported at $50, ,000,
and his confederate secreted it. The mes
senger when arrested promptly pleaded
guilty and received a six years sentence.
BY good behavior he reduced his time to
less than five years, and no sooner did he
re-enter the free world than the Shrewdest
PinkcrtOn detectives were on his track.
For weeks they "shadowed" him. but ap-
parently he made no move toward hunt
ing his confederate or getting his share OF
the plunder.

MODELLED AFTER THE HAWK.
A Machine with Which the Inventor
Thinks He Can Fly.


Thinks He Can Fly.
Bernard Cressler is the last man to insist
that he has invented a practical flying ma
chine, but as he is hermit living in the
wilds at the head of the Cheat river, West
Virginia, scientists may still doubt with
out offense. Mr. Cressler is, however n
remarkable man in other respects, sci
enlist who knows all about his district and
an astronomer Of considerable ability.
The flying machine is his hobby. He has
spent years in this study, and believes the
only perfect machine is that devised and
controlled by the Divine Builder, and he
has taken as his model the enormous hawk
of the mountains, which is able with i'm.
movable wings to soar for hours, not COM
batting the winds, but utilizing such air
currents as power to lift it higher This
hawk he compares to "a skillful skater, who
has acquired this momentum artificially,
and then by merely throwing his body this
way and that by force of gravity continues
as he pleases his cleverly poised body on
