hose. BY all means think that cement
should he used instead of brick.
w. j. Hoover: ar think that by all
believe that the brick will hold
sufficiently to prevent crevices. If a
cement floor were put in it would be
solid. smooth and could BIO kept in o
Clearly condition with little labor"
ID. E. Broadly: "If tho RICH { kind OF a
cement floor wore put in the market
house twenty years from now it would
be as good as ever. 1t Is impossible to
mako o good floor Of brick, 1t will
crack, become rough and in short
while will have to be reiaid."
E. b. Gait &c Co.. Cement is the best
material to floor the market with with
out doubt. 1t will make durable floor
that can be kept clean, which cannot be,
made of brick. 1t is best to do this
work right at this time 1t will save
money to do So"
f. L. Byrd: by all means cement
should be used. Brick will make poor
floor, which will crack and which will
let rats into it. II the market is paved
with good cement, it will last lifetime
and can always be kept clean"
L. l.. Taylor: "a good floor cannot
be made OF brick. The cement will
break and wear out at the seams and
grease and filth will accumulate into
them, giving rise to foul smell that will
raise complaint, and which will neces-
state the laying Of the pavement again
in few years at most. A good cement
pavement will last for years and will be
solid, keeping the rats out and can be
easily cleaned"

Twefik Pasha, it appears, was then
suffering from intense pain, due to an
attack of pneumonia and from blood
poisoning, due to uremia. The latter,
with weak heart DIR. Comanes (who
afterward saw the khedive's body, says,
was the immediate cause of Twefik
Pasha's death. But the doctors re-
port adds, his death was undoubtedly
accelerated by an overdose OF NOR
phine. administered 10 the sick man by
DIR. Salem Pasha, who, with DIR. Issa
Bey, were the personal and private ma
tive physicians of the khedive.
According TO the report drawn up DR..
Salem Pasha was totally ignorant of
the treatment for the disease from
which the khedive was suffering, yet
he insisted upon ministering 10 the sick
man.
1t is added that DIR. Salem Pasha dis
appeared on Thursday night and that
he has not been seen since. The native
and British police are now searching
for him, and all the Mediterranean
ports are being watched, as it is rumor-
ed that he escaAed from Egypt on board
Il small sailing vessel, that he is bound
for some lonely spot where he can land
unobserved and make his escape good
The widest rumors are in circulation
as to the treachery upon the part of
some one instigated by the highest per-
sonages. Popular excitement is at a
fever heat and the Fellaheen are be-
having in a dangerously significant
manner.
British soldiers and Europeans gen
orally are being insulted in the streets
and several arrests of riotous natives
have already been made. 1t is judged
that political agitators are taking ad-
vantage of the startling rumors circu-
lated to stir up the masses against
the Europeans and the British in par
ticular. The British authorities are
taking every precaution against an out
break

NOT ENOUGH HnARsns


To Carry the Victims of the Great NIlno
Disaster-Lumbcrw wagons and Dvmping
Carts of Necessity Converted Into Car
rlcrs OF tho Doad.
McALIsrER, /. T., Jan. tf.-This
was day of mourning at Krebs, the
scene of the recent mining disaster, in
which so many men lost their lives.
The funerals of most of tke victims
whose bodies have been recovered were
held Sunday. There were no religious
services, excepting in few cases, and
the only ceremony observed in con-
ncction with the funerals was that
of secret organizations, of which
most of the victims were members.
Fifteen of the dead bodies were buried
Saturday. All the cofiins available then
were used. and the other burials were
delayed until Sunday, when collins
were received by express from tho near
est towns in the neighborhood. The
caskets were Of the simplest, plain va
rieties. and were furnished by the min
ing company. Therefwas only one
hearse in the town of Krebs, so that it
was necessary to use every sort of We
hicle to convey the bodies to
the cemetery. Ordinary ''lum
ber wagons" were the greatest in
mum Der, and in some cases dumping
carts from the mines were brought into
requisition. The funerals took place
at 10 o'clock Sunday morning, thir-
ty-seven bodies being placed under the
ground The graves of the identified
dead were marked by plain headstones
of wood, with the names and ages of
the victims upon them. The unidenti-
fed were placed in graves by number
The clothes found upon them and the
contents of their pockets were retained
by the mining officials, and are marked
with mum bers corresponding to the re-
spective numbers of the graves, for the
purpose of future Identification,
Death added three more victims to
the list of killed Sunday, making the
total number ffty-sight A canvass
among the physicians attending the in
jured discloses the fact that seventeen
men injured are likely to die within
the next twenty-four hourH Those who
died Sunday were S. Powell, Albert
Arlinger and Emanuel Lorenzo.
The rescuing parties discontinued
their wcrk Sunday at noon. having sat-
isfed themselves that there were no
more bodies buried in the debris They
are also satisfied that there are none of
their comrades confined within the
chamber of the mine.

JOHN HIaG,S RICH FIND.

His MiserIy Old Father Dies, and JehR
Finds Forty-Five Thousand Dollars in tho
House.
DECATUR, Ill, Jan. 11.-Johu Eiggs,
son of Thomas HigRs, came to town
and reported finding in the house S45,-
900 in cash. It was hid away by
his father, Thomas HiggS an old far
mer, who died Wednesday in Long
Creek township, this county. He had
for many years been known rs
the stingiest man in the county. He
made money on his farm of 100 acres,
but never spent any, and never put any
in the bank. Since his death the fam
lily have been digging up the farm and
searching the buildings for the old
mans money. They found the pile in
a box in the house. The old man
bought forty acres of land short time
ago and paid for it all in silver dollars
that he had slowed away.

MINERS CAUGHT
By an Explosion in an Indian Ter
ritory Mine.
Ten Dead Bodies Have Thus Far Been
Taken Out-EiglIty- Five Escape by
Means of An Old Shaft-Sad Scenes
at the Mouth of the Rated Mine.

South MCALLIsTER, Ind. Ter, Jan.
9.-The report of mine disaster near
Krebs, Ind Ter, is confirmed by dis
patches from there Friday morning.
Already ten bodies have been taken
out. Reports differ as to the number
of men entombed in the mine, but it is
believed that over 15O men were at work
when the explosion occurred, and it
was feared that none Of them are now
alive.
The day men had just changed off and
reached the surface, when a puff of
smoke was seen to issue from the mouth
of the shaft Immediately after this
came terrific report, which could be
heard some distance in the surrounding
country. The men who were around
the mouth of the shaft knew instinc-
lively what it meant and, Immediately
sounded an alarm. A throng gathered,
but there was nothing they could do to
rescue the unfortuuates
News of the disaster is coming in
very slowly. 1t is learned that at the
time of the explosion nearly $50 men
were in the shaft. Most of them had
stopped work for the day, and were
waiting their turn to ride out in tho
cage. They had congregated near the
bottom OF the shaft, and that locality
is completely jammed with dead bod
les
1t is stated that s5 men succeeded in
reaching the open air by means of an
abandoned tunnel About 40 miners
were rescued by the lowering of buck
cts at the hands of the rescuing party
outside the shaft At daylight Fri
day morning the ten dead bodies were
carried to the surface. They were so
badly bruised and blaekened as to be
scarcely recognizable.
The mouth of the pit is surrounded
by crowd of men, women and chill
dren, nearly all of whom have relatives
in the mine. Their grief is pitiable and
their prayers and cries are agonizing
as they bcseech the rescuing party to
increase their efforts to save their loved
ones.
OF the eighty-five men who reached
safety by means of the old tunnel, over
half of them received injuries more or
less severe, and many of them are so
badly injured by shock and bruises that
it is feared they will not recover.
1t is believed that the explosion was
caused by firing shot when the mine
was partially filled with gas
At the present writing 223 miners are
unaccounted for.

Tho Yield of Wheat tho Greatest In the
World-Greatest in the County Except
Once for Corn.
WASHINGTON, Jan. THE estimates
and territories Of area, product and
value of the principal cereals of tho
United States for 1891, made by the
statistician of the department of agri-
culture, were given to the press We'd
nesday night The crops of corn, wheat
and oats including all but two or three
per cent. of the cereal aggregate, arc
rep orted The total for corn has only
been exceeded once. The wheat pro.
duct is the largest ever known in any
country, and the yield per acre in tho
United States is the largest ever re-
ported by the department of agricul-
ture. The total for oats was slightly
Exceeded in 1889. The aggregates are
rs follows:
Corn-Area, 76 2O4, 515 acres; product,
,, O6O, 154, 600 bushels; value, SS46, 49,
22O
Wheat-Area 3O0lG, So7 acres pro-
duct, Gil, ,7SO, 900 bushels; value, S519,-
472,7i1
Oats-Area, 90, 6,5s1, SOL acres; product,
746 394, 900 bushels; value, $233 3D. 267.
The aggregate of all cereals is tho
largest ever produced and will supply
ffty-four to fifty-fve bushels per unit
of population The wheat supply is
the largest ever reported in proportion
to population. averaging "a bushels to
each person, against 90 for the largest
previous crop in 1854. The average
value to the farmer is 40. sc for corn,
50. 93c for wheat, and 81. acc for oats The
value of wheat is greater than in any
year since 1888, that of the crop of 1883
alone excepted The products, are, OF
course, in measured bushels.

Getting Ready, Just the Same.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. S.-There is con-
siderable activity among the sealers and
many of them are preparing for the sea-
sons work. Most of the fleet will fit out
at Victoria b. c., and fully fifty vessels
will leave that place. The Casco was
the first to go to sea from this port,
but she had to return, and the chances
are that the Lord Dluhm, now fitting
out, will get away before the Casco.
Besides the fleet now on the coast, it
it was learned that fifteen schooners
will be brought out from the
east to engage in the catching of seals.
In fact some of them are on the way
now. 1t is said the men will take far
greater chances this season than they
did before, and the warships will have
their work cut ont to prevent raiding
of the seal islands

ENGLAND WANTS MORE.
Seven Arbitrators Asked For to Settle tn,
Sealing Trouble.


WASHINGTON, Jan SIN diplomatic
circles the opinion prevails that the
hitch in the Behring sea negotiations at
present is, the change in the attitude
of the British government regarding
the mum Der of arbitrators. The original
proposition, to which the United State.
assented, was that each country should
name a single arbitrator, and those
two should agree upon a third The
British government now asks that the
number be increased to seven-the
United States to name two, Great Britain
to name two and these four to choose
three more. Some objection is being
raised by Secretary Blaine to a change in
the original understanding, but if the
British government insist that there
shall be seven arbitrators, the United
States, it is thought, will yield. Presi-
dent Harrison has been willing from
the first to submit the questions in dis
pute to any fair tribunal, and to abide
by its decision. He would be quite
willing to leave the matter to the head
of some leading European country.
