sit was a strange and dreadfully re.
alistic presentiment that the fireman on
the engine which killed Rice had list
night" went on Bockrath after painful
pause.
"Since the death of Rice the fireman,
try as hard as he may, he cannot drive the
accident out of his mind. 1t appears
wildly before him at all times and
off duty.
Last night, after firing up, the Gre.
man remarked to the engineer, Danny,
see the eyes of Pat Rice on the track. )
"The engineer tried to allay the fears
Of the fireman.
Danny, it is no use for you to say
that, he replied. Il see Pat Rice on the
track, and l believe that it bodes evil

track
"Saying this the fireman jumped from
the cab.
"Walkiug up the track about twenty
five feet he made the dreadful discovery
that his presentiment presaging accident
was too true. There, with his hea
resting on the rail, was the body of the
PROSTATE man.

WORDS OF WISDOM.


No IMAM ever loved woman while he
was busy.
Few of us give our critics the attention
they deserve.
You can often measure man S. debts by
the size of his diamonds.
Fierce disputes arise occasionally in
which both parties are right.
After man passes fifty he has more
friends in the next world than he has in
this.
1t is a great deal easier to jump out of
the frying pan than it is to jump out of
the fire.
There are not many men so good that
they can do right without first having a
struggle.
There are too many men who sneer at
the Importance Of going hone promptly
at meal time.
A sensitive man carries his heart in his
sleeve, and every man who passes him
rubs against it.
A great man does not swsgger or strut,
but the little man who has been told he
looks like him does.
After they are married, a mans idea
of comfort seems to be the privilege of
sitting around in his shirt sleeves.
The young mah in search Of wife
goes about looking for an ideal woman.
The older mar goes about looking for a
practical woman when he wants to wed.
The man who is always anticipating
happiness to morrow is cool deal bet
ter of, anyway, than the man who spends
his time thinking how wretchel he was
day before yesterday.

EXPLOSION IN A mine.

Few Miners Escape and soms Brought
Out Fatally Injured The Work
of Rescue Difficult.
A terrible explos on of ire-damp occurred
in a gallery 400 feet below the su face at tie
Anderlus colliery near Charlero.
Two hundred and seventy men were at work
in the vicinity.
Ofths number 40 escaped by means of the
second shaft, and l6 othe.s were rescued in
terribly and, it is believed, fatally injured
condition.
The effect of the explosion was terrific. The
cage and the ventilator were shattered. The
destruction OF the ventilator adds ma element
Of great danger 10 the situation.
The men, fsny who survived the shock
ofthe explosions are apt TO meet their death
from the choke damp, as with the destruction
OF the ventilator ii is impossible TO rid the
mine of the gases.
large number eff the miners are married,
and their families are at the pit mouth frantic
with grief The worst is feared, and the mine
officers and the gendarmes have the greatest
difficulty ippreserv ng space sufficient for
the rescuing party that has been organized TO
work in. Volunteers are plenty; and almost
superhuman efforts are being made to clear
the shaft
The excitement among the crowd Of women
and children continues to grow in intensity,
and the grief of those who have husbands or
fathers in the mine is pitable. Some OF the
women are quite frantic. and it has been
found NECESSARY to get their friends to remove
them from the scene of the accident.
People from the surrounding country are
pouring into the town. Many OF them have
friends or relatives among the miners, aud
they are adding to the great excitem snt pre-
vniling only when in the vicinity of the pits
mouth.
II is feared that of the men In the mine 20
Of them have been killed. This is not tue es-
innate of persons whoare carried away by ex-
citement, but of those who understand thor
onghlY the workings of the colliery.
