ing to Mr. Kemmerer, the confectioner and
it had a remarkable escape. The stable is
located under the candy factory and the Goa
bins are kept in the cellar. In order to reach
them it is necessary to raise door ia the
floor of the stable and descend a fight Of
ste ps. The stalls where the horses are kept
il but few feet from the trap.door Yester-
day afternoon stable boy backed one of the
horses out of its stall and allowed it to stand
near the trap-door while he went to get some
harness. Meantime boy from the candy
factory raised the door and descended into
the cellar to get bucket of coal. The
hostler then appeared with the harness and
as he attempted to put the bride on the horse
it backed to the opening in the floor and
went down into the cellar
The opening was only about four feet long
and two and half feet Wide, just large
enough to let half of the animals body down.
The fore legs houndered in the air and the
head and neck Topped from one side to the
other, as the horse tried to free himself, but
theEear half Of his body was held as if by
a wise. The boy in the cellar was terror
stricken when he saw his horseship descend,
but he managed to find hole through
which he crawled to freedom, leaving the
coal bucket behind. The hostler was equally
scared and while yelling for help he tugeed
at the horses neck, but his efforts were USE
less. Mr.. Kemmerer then appeared upon the
scene and men from the neighboring stables
and blacksmith shops crowded about to make
suggestions. The horse had tired himself and
gazed helplessly at the crowd. "Where am l
at ?" could be read plainly in the large
beautiful eyes.
Plans of all kinds were suggested by men
who knew something about horses and their
rescue in cases of emergencies and by many
who didn't The horse was wedged so
tightly many concluded that at least two of
his legs were broken. Finally it was decided
to cut away the flooring about the trap.door
and hoist the animal. After considerable
saving and chopping, and four hours after
the horse fell into the place, pulleys and ropes
were put in position, and with the aid of a
number Of strong men, was hoisted up and
once more placed upon his feet Upon ex-
animation it was found that the animal was
comparatively uninjured, having suffered
only few scratches, and Notwithstanding
the steps leading into the cellar were made of
but one.inch board only one of them was
broken,
"Pve had - of time, don't you
think p the horse remarked to his hostler as
he was being led to Titmans stable. 81
should smile" was the hostler's answer.

Another interesting item in connection
with these cavoins comes up in different
shape. When the cave-in occurred near the
Lost Creek station about two weeks ago it
was admitted that it broke one Of the main
pipes of the Lost Creek dam, but it was de-
MED that the cOlliery had in any way suffered
from water on account of the break. A
gentleman who claims to speak upon eX-
celent authority told me yesterday that the
water did bother the colliery, but for some
reason or other it was decided to keep the
matter as quiet as possible. 1t was fortu-
nate no one was in the mine. In speaking OF
this my informant said, when ! heard that
| this was fact my mind at once rested upon
what would be the consequence if a break
should occur at the public water works
which the borough Of Shenandoah proposes
placing above the Kelley Run colliery. And
! the more / thought of the matter the more
| convinced became that the position taken
/ by the Thomas Coal Company is a strong one
/ Did it ever strike you" continued my in
/ formant, that should a break occur in the
reservoirs of the proposed water works, that
after drowning the men in the Kelley Run
| cOlliery and reaching certain height in
those workings the water would rush on into
the workings Of Kohinoor cOliery through
the many openings between the two mines
and also drown the meu there2 Such is the
fact and can demonstrate it to any one who
may doubt what l say. And what strikes me
as more peculiar is that two of the Council
men who favor the site selected for the water
works are required to be in the Kohinoor
mines almost at all times and would I'M
doubtedly be among the victims in case the
dreadful calamity foreshadowed should be
realized" ODE.

While looking into this matter l also
learned that there is something behind the
cave.ins that is not generally known. It
seems that the Lehigh Valley Railroad Com
pany would prefer having the coal remais
where it is so as to have no disturbance along
its line and the landowners would leave the
coal there provided the railroad company
would pay for it. 1t is intimated that the
company and landowners may eventually get
together on some arrangement that will put
stop to the disturbances.

William E Brown met with a distressing
accident at Centralia yesterday. He was
employed as a brakeman ON Lehigh Valley
coal train and while coupling cars had his
right hand horribly crushed He was
brought here by train and taken to the
Miners Hospital in carriage by his brother
in-law, Letter Carrier Bartsch. At the hos
pital DIR. Biddle amputated the mangled
member at point midway between the
wrist and elbow.

Speaking Of the Pennsylvania bridge
matter the local correspondent of tho Re-
publican stretches point to say notwith-
standing the ranting of ou. town sheet the
Council have come to the conclusion that they
have the right end of this matter and are
determined to settle the question not only by
law but by force if it be necessary" 1t
would be blessing to the people if Council
would get the right end of something We
advise them not to resort to force but to take
philosophical view Of the matter and profit
by Pennsylvania Railroad troubles and
litigations with other towns, where the
people didn't even give the company a chance
to steal in upon them "like sief in der

The first week in January will see all the
newly elected officers throughout the depart
ment installed and then arrangements will
be made for the encampment to be held at
Lebanon in February. It will be an inter-
esting session, as some very important mat
teIs bearing upon pension legislation will be

alternates.
Next year the soldiers monument will be
erected in town and an effort will be made 10
recruit the local Post to its full capacity, so as
TO make creditable display when that event
takes place. There are hundreds of veterans
living in town and vicinity who do not be.
long to the organization who should take
steps 10 connect themselves with it. The
Grand Army Of the Republic is one which
every veteran should take pride in. They
are all becoming old and infrm, and are
dropping on fast. Those who 20 before
should receive full military honors and place
their widows and orphans under the shelter
ing wing OF tho organization. Delinquent
members should also take now life and put
themselves in good standing with the ORDER
and dropped members should seek re.instate-
ment.

SESSION OF THE SENATE.
Davidson's appointment an Act of
Mere Irrelavance.

Davidson's appointment an Act of
Mere Irrelavance.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-ln the absence of
Vice President Morton, who has gone to
New York for few days, the chair was oc-
cupied by Senator Mandersen, president
pro tenn.
Among the bills reported from commit
tees and placed on the calendar were the
following: Authorizing the construction of
bridges across the Tallapoosa and Coosa
rivers. To extend the provisions Of the act
in relation to the immediate transportation
of dutiable goods to ST. Augustine, Fla.
The following we're reported back ad-
versely: To extend the provisions of the
act for the immediate transportation of
Kutiable goods to Fernandina, Fla. At the
request of Senator Pasco this bill was placed
OF the calendar. At 1890 o'clock the Sem
ate proceeded to executive business.
When the doors were reopened the report
of the committee on privileges and elections
in the case of the Florida senatorship de-
claring Wilkinson Call entitled to the seat
was taken up for action and the report
read, which closed with: THE appointment
or Davidson was an act of mere irrelevance,
which it 1t not necessary further to notice. "
Senator Chandler, a member of the com.
mittee on privileges and elections,
stated that the report was unani-
nous, and that the committee had
wisely concluded that the question was
neither q political nor a personal one, but
was question of constitutional and statu-
tory construction. 1t was whether the
mere absence of a quorum of one house of
a legislature provided there was a majority
| present of ali the members of both houses)
was sufficient to defeat an election of a
United States senator. That question
seemed to be settled conclusively in the
negative by the United States statute
CONSTITUTIONAL QUESTION ARGUED.
The dissent from the position taken by Mr..
Chandler on the constitutional and statutory
| question involved was the occasion for a
long legal discussion, in which Senators
Mitchell, Stewart, Gray, Teller, George and
Sherman took part. There was no conten-
ton as to the correctness of the resolution
reported, but the discussion turned simply
upon the construction of the statute and
its constitutionalty. Senator Sherman
argued that fair construction of the
law of congress on the election of senatorsl
was that if the two houses failed ia
elect in separate meeting. then a Joint
convention of the two houses should be held
and a majority of that con vention las in the
ease Of Florida) should decide the question.
1t made no difference. in his opinion,
whether quorum OF one house was or was
not present.
Finally tae resolution was agreed to with
out a division, aud the Senate adjourned
until Monday.

A TALK WITH FARMERS.
They Propose TO Plant More Corn and
E.ezs Cotton.

WADLEY. Ca, Feb. A-Our people
seem TO be in moderately good spirits. con-
sidering the hard times. The merchants
are sticking more closely to the spot cash
system than formerly. Il is pretty tough
on the farmers. out if they can stand it for
year, IL will learn them a profitable les
son Some OF them will not use an ounce
OF guano this year, and some Of them are
not going TO plant any cotton at all.
Messrs. Wynn & Robertson of this place
are going TO see what can be made out OF a
vineyard. They are preparing to plant out
% 600 scuppernongs, though they will
hardly get them all out this season.
l struck farmer yesterday who has ideas
OF his own about guanO, Overproduction of
cotton and the third party. l refer TO b.
Powell. Last year he planted 600 acres in
cotton and gathered from it POS bales. which
he sold at an average OF about 8 cents. He
estimated that twenty-five bales were lost
In the patch by not opening. He used guano
under II all. This year he will plant 800 acres.
and has already bought seventy tons Of
guano TO put under it. When asked IL he
thought the land too poor to produce
cotton without guano, he replied:
81 think il will produce cotton
without it, but the reason | use guano is
because think it pays me to do So" Mr..
Powell says that cotton may be good price
next fall, and he srather inclined to think it
will be. At any rate be is going TO risk it.
He says it takes very little alliance to do
him.
Other farmers do not share Mr. Powell's
views. so that the guano agents are not
meeting with much success in this section.
From present indications it is pretty safe to
predict that there will be less cotton and
more corn and meat in jefferson county
next fall than at any time since the war.
| had a talk with prominent citizen of
Louisville last Saturday. He is rather
disguised with Tom Watson's
course. He supported Watson
against Barnes, though an admirer
Of the latter, because he thought that the
farmers had some grievances that de-
manded redress, and because at that time
Watson, while championing the farmers
cause, repeatedly insisted that he was as
sound democrat as anybody. But now,
he says. Watson has turned his back on the
Democratic party and is doing all he can to
break its ranks. Times promise to be lively
in the old Tenth next fall. "Tom and
Ocala" will be the slogan Of the third party
its, but how much frenzy can be aroused by
the magical words remain to be seen.

A Story Revealing the True Character
of Sir Moren Mackenzie.

A Story Revealing the True Character
of sir Moren Mackenzie.
NEW YORK. Feb. 4.-The Euening TeLe-
grams London correspondent makes a
revelation that exhibits the late Sir MorelI
Mackenzie in his true character, as ex-
hibited during the most trying period of
his life. Only few weeks before the death
Of Emperor Frederick, then still the crown
prince, while Sir Morell Mackenzie was
under the terrible fire of German surgeons,
dramatic incident occurred. A lady who
had access to his presence at all times en-
tered his sitting room in the Hotel Victo-
ria one day. Sir Morell was seated by a
table evidently laboring under great ex-
element.
"You have called at the wrong time" he
said excitedly, II am under a terrible
strain"
Doctor" said the lady bluntly, you
know the crown prince has cancer; you
know it."
Yes" he said, 81 know he has cancern
standing up and clinching his hands,, "but
/ have not the right to admit it. If did it
would wrong that poor woman and her chill
dren" indicating the crown princess). "If
/ were to 20 to his room and admit that 1t
was cancer he would give up, and would
not live to be crowned. His widow and
children would have nothing. But 1 can
hardly bear this strain much longer" he
added, YEARLY.
He bore up under the terrible strain,
however, and the result is history.
