Another Mining Horror.
Nearly 100 welsh Miners Imprisoned--
Forty Rescued and the Others Perish.

Nearly $50 welsh Miners Imprisoned--
Forty Rescued and the Others Perish.
One of the worst mining accidents that
has occurred in Wales for many years took
place Friday at the Park Slip coal pit near
Bridgend in Glamorganshire. The day
shift of miners had not been long in the
mine before most terrible explosion was
heard. The ground trembled with the
force of the explosion and the people in
the vicinity knew Immediately that an ac-
cident had happened. The day shift com
prised $50 men. and their relatives and
friends rushed to the pit mouth to learn
the extent of the disaster. The explosion
had caused the earth and rock to fall and
the mouth of the pit was closed. Hun
dreds of the miners in the vicinity vOlun-
teered their services and the work of clear
ing the pit mouth was begun. All day
the rescuing parties kept at work. The
bodies of many of the miners We're found,
mutilated by the falling roof and burned
by the fire which destroyed the supports
after the explosion. Late Saturday night,
after the rescuers had penetrated to a
depth of over 900 feet, the last bank of
earth was removed and 40 miners were
found still alive, but in an exhausted con-
dtion. 1t is almost certain that all others
in the mine are dead.

The Londonderry Sitter says it is esti-
mated that in one day over 600 quarts of
blackberries were picked near Pratt bridge
in Jamaica on the lot cut over some eight
years ago by F. M. Wood. The whole lot

with blackberry vines and the quantity of
berries is immense and of the finest
quality.

IN THE LOCAL FIELD.
MASSACHUSETTS, NOTES.


Senator Dawes of Pittsfeld informs the
people of Massachusetts, that he is not a
candidate for reelection i'm 1893; and fol-
lowing on the retirement of Edmunds, of
Vermont and the possible defeat this
winter of Hawley in Connecticut, the in
dirations are that New England is to lose
its supremacy of a century in the United
States Senate. Senator Dawes is rs years
of age. and passed through stages which
endear public man in New England, of
typical country lad, struggling student ana
ambitious young lawyer. He was in the
House from 1857 to 1873 and since 1875 he
has been the successor in the Senate of
Charles Sumner. If less brilliant, Dawes
has proved himself the peer of any man in
integrity and sound sense. To have al
ways been on the right side of legislation
is honor enough for any statesman. This
may tie said of Henry Laurens Dawes.
Mr.. Dawes announces that it is his wish
that his successor be younger man.

A nine-months-od child of Peter Lam
roux of Chicopee was almost eaten alive by
rats Wednesday of last week while lying in
its cradle, and but for the timely arrival of
its mother would have been torn to pieces.
Mrs. Lamroux was awakened by the child's
shrieks and rushing to the cradle found a
huge gray wharf rat hungrily tearing the
flesh from the child's body. With some
difficulty it was driven off, but not until
the scalp had been eaten from the back Of
the child's head and several other wounds
made. If poisoning does not set in the
child will recover.

The Search Light on VT. washington.

If the accounts received from Mount
Washington of the operation of the electric
searchlight there are true, it is evident
that a most important advance has been
made in the art of signaling. The distance
from the summit of Mount Washington to
Portland, Me-, is about 81 miles in a direct
line but, although the beam of light was
directly above the heads of the observers
in Portland, it was plainly visible to their
upward gaze as a needle-like beam shooting
across the sky. When it was ascertained
at Mount Washington by telegraph that
the beam of light was visible in this man
ner it was arranged to flash it so as to spell
out with the telegraphic alphabet the words
"Mount Washington" which the Portland
operator found no difficulty in reading.
Other words were successfully deciphered,
apparently without any difficulty or delay.
What makes the feat more astonishing is
the fact that in order to avoid low clouds
the light was directed at an angle of A.
from the airline between the summit of
Mount Washington and Portland, so that
the operator in that city saw the beam at
a point so miles above his head and lie
miles from its source.

TAKE WARNING.
NEGLECT NOT THE SIGNALS
OF DANGER.
An Object Lesson Taught by the
Indians.
Let the Way he simple and the Remedy
Safe.

If you are ailing, not exactly sick, but not feel
ing Just right have a drowsy, dun feeling, bad
taste in mouth, variable appetite, occasional pains
in the joints and muscles, and other signs Of inn
pending sickness, why not do as the Indian does
drive such symptoms out of the system by the
judcious use of their vegetable remedy
Don't neglect such warnings.
That pain in your shoulder may develop into
rheumatism, and months sickness deprive you
of the income of your toll.
That furry tongue denotes your liver is out of
order, and typhoid fever would easily take root
in your system.
What could you do them
Think of your business, your income, and your
family.
Seek safety as you would fly from cholera or
smallpox.
You are in danger if you neglect these warn
ings. They mGy pass of, but the chances are
against you, and even then the poison is only la
tent in your system.
Do not, however put your trust in the numer-
GUS so-called "sarSparilasN with which the
ket is flooded. Sarsaparilla bark is not a medi-
cine, It is a fduOriHg, nothing more. The action
of many of these decoctions comes from mineral
poisons they contain, such as mercury, arsenic,
strychnine, bsmuth iodide of potassium, and the
like and any druggist will tell you, II he tells you
truly, that this is so.
Kickapoo Indian Sagwa and other hickapoo
Indian medicines contain only the product of the
field and forest, natures own vegetable growth
of roots barks and herbs, and of necessity are
free from all mineral poisons whatever, because
the Indians have no knowledge of them, depend
ing wholly upon natures laboratory for their re-
sources, and upon their skill born of centuries of
experience, in preparing them.

INTELLIGENT physicians regard

could not find the person, and
no one knows of such an one ever

could not give the necessary ex-
planation to adjust the matter. Who
should pay the tax on said $20O?
That's the question.
"No moment passes over the

The case of the Lafayette coun
! ty lynchers offers many curious and
interesting features. For one thing
the petition, signed by many mem
bers of the county board, to the
distrIct-attoruey to stop proceedings
against the lyncbers on the ground
that a trial is costly to the tax.
| payers. Another novel thing is the
defense ON the ground of insanity
tor the entire crowd. If these men
are all to be regarded as crazy, it is
the first instance in the worlds
history where lunatios have acted
together, as body, to accomplish
a definite end. 1t must give alien
lists a new and startling conception
of the possibilities of insanity. a
single insane person may have a
definite aim and proceed to reach IL
by logical steps, but no concerted
action Oh the part of large number
of insane persons has ever been
considered practicable.
The leaders of the mob, the wit,
nesses for the defense would have
us believe, were not responsible for
what they did. One is subject To
fits, another is an habitual drunkard,
another was once kicked in the
stomach by a horse, another has
been thrown out of wagon, one
once made a greenback speech, and
another-most relevant disclosure
of all--likes to listen while his
wife reads love stories aloud. Why
not swear that they are all third
party men?
Anyhow, the trial will prove to
be a good thing, even if the lynch
ers are acquitted on the ground of
insanity, and well worth the cost to
Lafayette county. 1t will stamp
"the best citizens who go into
the lynching business as lunatics
and lynching as lunacy. II may
have some value, too, as showing
the logical consequence of the
federation Of the plea of insanity
by juries. - Kil,oaukee Sentinel
1t seems that the Darlington
lynohers, who hanged SieboIdt, and
who are now undergoing trial for
that irregularity, are very excitable
people, and when excited are unable
to control themselves. One Of the
witnesses, Hezekiah Andrews, testi-
flying concerning his son, who is a
defendant III the case, Gaid that he
was subject } spells when he be-
came excited. His eyes, while the
spells were upon him, had wild
and glaring look. ale would, at
such times, swing his arms and act
50 slyenge that witness would al
ways change the subject of con
yersation so as to lead his mind
away rom the causes which had
produced the excitement" The
whole trouble seems to have been
that Sieboldt didn't have wit
enough to "ohange The CONVERSE
ton" when his axcitable" neigh
bors were dragging him TO the tree.
1t might have quieted their nerves
and saved his neck.--EUeaing jVis.
