Supply of Emera1ds Decreasing.

Emeralds are said to be steadily dis appearing. In the sos and sos emer aids were the favorite jewel, and were worn strung on thread like pearls. Such a string of emeralds was exhibited in a jewellers window in Unter den Linden, and was estimated to be worth twelve thousand marks. Now emeralds are no longer polished into a round form, but are polished like diamonds. Faultless stones of deep and good color have always been as valuable as diamonds The reason of the scarcity of emeralds is the decrease in produc, tion in the Ural mountains Emeralds were first discovered on the right bank of the Tokowoier, near Katharineburg
 in 1880, and in the first years the har. vest was ia rich one. Now the decrease
 both in quantity and quality, hardly repays the labor. The harvest of em- eralds in Labachthal, in the Salzburger Alps, has also proved disappointing, so that emeralds are now only to be had from Australia and from Muso, near Santa Fe de Bogota, in Colombia, in any appreciable quantity. The latter spot has been noted for it's emeralds since the sixteenth century. Queen.

MINE WORKINGS ABLAzE
Many Narrow Escapes at the
 Taylor, Pa., Colliery.
SEVERAL MINERS CANNOT RECOVER

Prostrated While Endeavoring to Put Ont the Flames, and Rescued More Dead Than AlIve--The Mine win Have to b,
 Flooded to StiAe the Fire.
 SCRANTON, Pa., Nov. 23.-Fierce flames are raging In the workings of the Holden colliery at Taylor, five miles from this city, which are so located as to make almost impossible their extinguishing in any other manner than by flooding the mine. A force of workmen endeavored to reach the blazing subterranean fur nace which is two thousand feet from the bottom of the shaft, but the stifling after damp which filled the gangway quickly overcame them after they had passed the fresh air-ways and one by one the men fell in the gangway.
 Several of them realizing in time the awful danger in which they were tread ing, turned in time and succeeded ir getting to point where there was fresh air, which enabled them to appreciate the condition of those overcome further on in the gangway.
 Quickly summoning 8 rescuing party, and providing themselves with the neces- sary safeguards, they returned into the gangway and fourteen prostrated miners were carried out unconscious, and more dead than alive.
 Those in the most serious condition are David Davis, Benjamin Taylor, John Edmonds, Thomas Morgan and Jenkin Harris.
 Then another force was formed under Supt. Davies to try and get hose upon the fire. In the gangway they went, but as they proceeded they too were overcome by the poisonous vapors. and 1t was only by having men trailing behind them that they were enabled to have rescuers reach them.
 This time supt. Davies, Thomas Hughes, John Fern, Brian O'Hsre, John Jefrers. John MoAdrew, Fred Tinney, Wm. Dolan, David Evans, Michael Car roll, Henry Lintholt, Wm. Goodman, Inside Foreman Evans and Daniel Will Hams were carried out so much overcome that the physician had to work more than an hour upon them before they became conscious.
 Davies, Carroll, Fern, O'Hara and Jeffers are in 8 miserable condition, and their recovery is doubtful.
 This is the first instance of suffocation in the mines of this section from this cause since 1888, when twelve men were killed at Mocanauqua, near Shickshinny.

NATIONSIN CONFERENCE
Monetary Convention Formally
 Opened at Brussels.
ITS FAILURE ALREADY PREDICTED.

Surprise OccasIoned Because the United
 States Representative Had No Definite
 Propositions to Submit--Adjournm
 Until Friday -Personnel of the Ameri-
 can Delegation.
 BRUSSELS, Nov. 23.-The International Monetary Conference was formally opeDed yesterday. The meeting took place at 8 o'clock. Nj. Beernaert, the Belgian Prime Minister M. Montefiori Levi and the Hon. E. Terrell, United States Minis ter to Belgium, spoke.
 The conference then adjourned until Friday. Spain, Austria, Hungary, Bel Greece, Italy, The Netherlands, Portugal, Roumania, Servia, Sweden, Norway, Switzerland and the United States have sent delegates.
 Great astonishment is expressed by several of the delegates at the statement, by American representatives, that they had no formal propositions to submit. The English delegates particularly are very much surprised at this, and impa- tient to get away, if no special pro gramme is brought forward by the United States. The representatives of the latter, however, promise to present their pro gramme before Fridays session,
 It seems to be the general idea that the Conference will resolve itself, at the in stance of the American delegates, into 8 discussion of bi-metallism If so, several delegates consider the failure of the Con- ference a foregone conclusion. It Is evi- dent that the English delegates, at least, will do their share toward making 1t so
 The following are the United States delegates to the conference:
 Senator William B. Allison, Congress man James B. McCreary, E. Benjamin Andrews, president of Brown University; Prof. Ronald Falkner, of the University of Pennsylvania; Thomas w. Cudler, Thomas T. Keller. James T. Morgan, Senator John P. Jones, Henry w. Can non, president of the Chase Nation al bank, and E. O. Leech, Director of the Mint

 PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 23.-An inquest was held here yesterday by Coroner Ashbridga on the death of Hiram Gottschall, of Reading, Pa., who died at St. Timothy's hospital, Peterborough, Nov. 2. from injuries received in the Reading wreck above West Manayunk on Oct. 24.
 | It was. the first heath in Philadelphia county as the result of the accident, and a second official inquiry was necessary.
 In the first inquiry, held at West Man, ayunk, Montgomery county, John R. Rupp. trainmaster at West Falls, was held responsible for the disaster, and was arrested for criminal negligence.
 The second coroner's jury, however, generates Rupp, and holds B. H. Ger lacher, conductor, and Engineer Charles Billig of the coal train, which crashed into the express, directly responsible.
 Gerlacher and Billig will probably be arrested. Rupp is under bail for appear ance at court at Norristown Dec 5.

 NEW YORK, Nov. 23.-Lovers of foot ball who intend to see the great struggle on Manhattan Field on Thanksgiving Day between Yale and Princeton are already arriving in the city, many com- ing from long distances.
 They are veritable enthusiasts who Journey so long . distance, but 1t is almost an assured fact that grand con- test will reward them for their trouble Nothing in the line of sports is talked of outside the holiday match between these collegians, and it Is now announced that practically every seat in the grand stands has been disposed of.
 Betters are planking their money on Yale at four and five to one. Princeton money is scarce, and most of 1t is handed down at evens that the Zebras will score anyhow.
 Both teams are enjoying a season of calm just at present, Yale laying of after her run in" with Harvard last Saturday, and Princeton simply resting until her leven shall fall up against Yale Thursday.
 The main idea now Is to get seats for the game-that is seats where every movement of the bushy haired, iron musclsd Titans may be seen.
 Fifteen hundred seats were sent to New Haven, but an hour after the sale open ed, the supply had been exhausted and not half the college had been satisfied. It was about the same at Princeton, to which the same number of seats had been assigned, and at old Nassau they howled, Oliver -Twist-hke, for more. Granted that tomorrow is 8 fine day, Manhattan Field will overflow with 8 4rr IAI hoN@ But it will be an uncommonly we'll dress ed crowd, and it will be decorous to ( nicety in It's demonstrations of appro- bation for good and clever plays.

Father, Mother and Daughter Burned to
 Crisp at SharpSburg, Pa.
 PITTsBURa, Nov. 23.-The lives of one entire family were plotted out by fire yesterday morning.
 The dead are:
 HIRAM DANAHAUR, aged 45 years.
 MRS. DANAHAUR, aged 43.
 A daughter aged 10 years.
 The Danahaur family lived in Pleasant Valley, Ohara Township, just outside of the town of Sharpsburg.
 They had greenhouse in the basement of the house and placed @ furnace in it Monday.
 It is presumed that the furnace became overloaded, setting fire to the wood work.
 The family died before their neighbor1 knew of their danger.
 When the fire was discovered the house had been burned to the ground and the charred remains of father, mother and daughter were found among the ruins.
 Danahaur was a timer by trade and quite well connected.
 The terrible holocaust has caused the greatest sorrow throughout the valley, ai the Danahaurs were socially inclined and were we'll liked by their numerous friends and neighbors.
 The unfortunate victims remains were burned entirely beyond recognition nothing being left of them bat a mass oi charred and blackened flesh and bones

Al Waterbury Furniture Co,
 Sunday Evening, Nov 6, S2.

The insurance companies have given us possession of oir building and we are at work once more. preparing our damaged goods for the public to make short work of. The sale will begin Monday, Novem- Der 21, and after the goods are sold the carpenters and painters will go to work
 Our first duty is to thank Chief Snagg and his faithful band of 6remen for their wonderful work on that memorable oc- casion. We also take pleasure in sending them a check as a small reminder Of our appreciation for their successful efforts in saving our property. We hope our fire men may live long to continue their mis- sionary labors in behalf of their fellow men. What the soldier is in war the fire man is in peace.
 That men will do for glory what they never would do for money is magnlt- icently illustrated at a fire.
 While viewing the work of the firemen that night and the eagerness displayed, we thought what pity that the element of money, that bone of contention, was ever introduced into our social life. But 1t seems that since the time of Adam, Eve x Go, money has been used to pay bills with, and this is why we are compelled to throw our entire stock on the market, con sisting of car load of Standard Folding Beds, Office Furniture, Chamber Suits, Parlor Suits, Carpets. Stoves, Ranges, and everything kept in a first class furniture house. The building must be cleared at once to make room for the carpenters, painters, &c.
