An Old Soldiers Death.

Baron Gemmingen, lieutenant field

Austrian cavalry, who died at his home
in Gutleberg, Austria, two weeks ago,
had been an active soldier for almost
half a century.
So When, on the afternoon of his death.
his physician told him he had but an
hour or two moro to live, the old man
sat up in bed and called to his military
attendants in the next room. The soldier

BRUSSELS, March 11.--An accident
which, it is feared, will result in terri
BILE loss of life, has occurred in col
liery near Gharleroi. An explosion of
fire damp took place in a coal pit In
which 270 miners were at work. OF this
number forty escaped by means OF the
second shaft and sixteen others were
rescued in a terrible and it is believed
fatally injured condition. Five bodies
have been taken out. 1t is thought that
the number of dead will reach 100.
The effect of the explosion was ter

shattered. A large number of the
miners are married and their families
are at the pit mouth frantic with grief.
Volunteers are plenty and almost SUPER
human efforts are being made to rescue
the imprisoned miners. The govern

Great Force in q Nutshell.

The procession of rowboats moving
rapidly about Lake Merritt, OalGind,
few weeks ago was observed with in
tense interest by few people who had
watched with eagerness the movements
of one of the men in the leading boat.
This boat was fitted with paddles, the
rapid rotation of which urged the boat
rapidly through the ripplesa and drew
swiftly the seven other boats in tow.
The boating excursion was no pleasure
party, but a private exhibition Of mo-
tor which, if able to accomplish one
tenth of what is said of it, is the most
powerful application of electrical energy
devised.
Charles Sellander is the man who di-
rected the movements of the leader boat,
and he is the discoverer Of the chemical
combination that produces marvellous
results. The process, the materials, the
manner of combination, are secrets
closely held, for no patent has been
issued. To very few people has any
information of the discovery or inyen-
ton been communicated, and these peo-
pie must be losing sleep contemplating
the ,narvels which the young inventor
claims for his motive power. Sellander
is Il modest mechanic, quiet and in
dnStrious, who is employed by the South
ern Pacific company as an extra engineer
of locomotive engines.
The outward appearance of his appa-
ratus is simple. His chemical compound
is incased in air tight copper vacuum
bulbs, for it explodes on exposure to the
atmosphere. Attached to the copper re-
ceptacle are wires through which the
electricity is fed as on supply wires of
other electrical systems. The discovery
is the generating materials and their
imprisonment. One of these vacuum
bulbs is no larger than walnut. Yet
with this enthusiastically small generator
he is said to have sent the light row.
boats dancing over the surface of Lake
Merritt as though they were shells
moved by Cambridge crew.
The inventor recently told friend
that for three weeks he had supplied
constant power from his tiny generator
to move toy boat in a pond in his back
yard and the battery showed no signs of
weakening. To the same friend he said
that be regards his invention or discov-
cry as the nearest approach to perpetual
motion yet attained.-San Francisco Ex-
aniner.

In the course of bis letter to General
Bragg Mr.. Cleveland says:
If, in answering your question, might
only consider my personal desires and my
individual ease and comfort, my response
would be promptly made. and without the
least reservation or difficulty. But if you
are right in supposing that the subject is
related to duty owe to the country and
to my party, a condition exists which
makes such private and personal consider
atoms entirely irrelevant. 1 cannot, how
ever, refrain from declaring to you that
my experience in the great Office of presi-
dent of the United States has 50 impressed
me with the solemnity of the trust and its
awful responsibility, that cannot bring
myself to regard a candidacy for the place
as something to be won by personal strife
