Oil Derrick Burned.

About S o'clock Wednesday night the
oil derrick at the Rock Run well took
fire and by 10 o'clock it was entirely
burned to tho ground with all the sheds
and fixtures. When the derrick burned
the tools again went to the bottom OF
the well where they now lie.
Very little is positively known about
the well, but is almost certain that 4
very strong pocket OF gas was penetrated
which rushed out and caused the fire.
This is the most plausible. Nothing
but the very rainy night could have
saved the school house which stands
but 4 few yards from where the derrick

Teacher and pupils of the Chestnut
Hill school in Montville, Conn.,, had a
fright from snakes the other day.
School opened for the summer term, and
all went well till q little girl screamed
and rushed out of the room. She had
seen snake peeping out Of the plaster
ing near the teachers desk. The teacher
thought she was i'll and mistaken and
sent her home. Half an hour later a
small boy saw snake crawl out Of a
hole near the chimney and killed it with
. slate frame. The fire in the warm
chimney started up more snakes. Pretty
soon half awakened reptile five feet
long tumbled out of hole in theceiling
and handed with great thump just in
front Of the children's seats. The teacher
stood on top of her desk till the big boys
had settled his account. Then more
snakes began to tumble down, and the
whole school, big boys and all, took to
fight. The teacher refuses to enter the
building again, and the Chestnut Hill
school term is adjourned without date.

The aeronaut, Captain Dworniki, has
succeeded at last in his descent with a
parachute from his balloon at Naples.
In ten minutes the balloon, with Dworn-
Xxi depending from it seated on a
trapeze, had reached a height of 5000
feet. The parachute, when set free was
dashed about by the wind so violently
that often the captains body touched
Its edge, swinging rapidly from side to
side so that the spectators screamed
with horror. However, in five minutes
the descent was accomplished, the aero
naut safely touching ground in the
street of Merzelina. near the Lione
fountain.
The people surrounded the captain,
some of them even embracing him, and
when he took refuge in carriage he
was accompanied in triumph by the
crowd. The balloon was carried over
the Vomero, where it fell into the woods
of the Duke of Salvi, who for some time
refused to give it up.-London News.

A remarkable surgical case was that
Of little Charlie Fisher, who was recent
ly discharged from the Eastern District
hospital, Brooklyn. The little patient,
while riding with his grandfather on
Bedford avenue week or two ago, re-
ceived fracture of the skull and was so
seriously injured that life was despair
ed of.
The horse, rearing up, kicked over the
dashboard, his left foot striking Charles
forehead. The three-year-old boy was
taken from the carriage Immediately
after the accident in an unconscious
state. An ambulance was summoned
and Surgeon Clifford took him TO the
hospital without an idea that he would
ever recover consciousness--the boys
skull was so horribly mangled. But
House Surgeon Orrell worked hard,
taking broken fragments of skull from
the wound for three or four hours.
In all, fifty-six little pieces Of skull
were taken from the child's forehead,
and there is now a round circle about
the size of fifty cent piece over the
right eye where the brain Is exposed.
Its pulsation can plainly be seen. If the
patient had been older recovery, the
doctors say, would not have been so re-
markable. New York Advertiser.

The poetic element in the character
OF the late c. Jerome Cary, whose body
has been cremated at Detroit, viii find
lasting and beautiful expression If his

II was his oft expressed desire that

mate friend, G. G. Whitnall, the florist.

variety Of which he was particularly
fond. Only his very intimate friends
knew that Mr.. Cary was passionately
fond of flowers. and Of roses in particu.
lar. He was in the habit of spending
great deal Of time among Mr.. Whit
nails flowers, and the latter was well
acquainted with the poetic side Of his
nature. To him Mr.. Cary frequently
confided his thoughts, and he viii know
how best to carry out his wish.
Mr.. Whitnall viii place the urn con-
tanning Mr.. Cary's ashes in a spot which
he viii select in his greenhouses, and
plant over it q rosebush in such posi-
tion that the roots win strike down into

TO keep other roots from striking il, so
that only the rosebush will reach the
ashes. Mr.. Whitnall will plant small
lie Marche rose, of which variety Mr..
Cary was very fond, and he will nurse
it carefully until ii becomes tree. This
variety of rose grows to height of ten
or twelve feet and blossome profusely.

There was once in eastern Tennessee
a Judge well versed in the law, but en-
tirely self educated, who had this same
obstacle Of photography to contend with
all his days. In early life he had lived
in Knoxville, and for q long time in
sisted upon spelling the name Noxville.
His friends at last educated him up to
the point of adding the K; so thorough
ly, in fact, did he learn this lesson that
when few years afterward he removed
to Nashville, nothing could prevent him
from spelling the name sKnashville.
After a few years residence there the
Judge moved again, this time to MUIR
freesboro. One day he sat down towrite
his first letter from this place. he
scratched his head in perplexity mo-
ment and finally exclaimed: "Well, III
give it up! How In the world can they
spell the name of this place with 'KY 2

The steady and successful operation
of the Gold King stamp mill at Tellu-
ride, Colo, by electrical power, from
the last Of May, 1891, to the present, has
been of incalculable benefit. not only TO
the mining interests of San Miguel, but
to those of the state and country in gen.
eral. It has never been operated a win
ter through before, but run the past
year twenty-four hours per day and six
days in the week from the time it started
up. During the time the total stoppage
of the mill by reason Of the deficiency
of power has averaged less than sixteen
minutes per day, and Of the whole
amount of time lost 80 per cent. has
been due to necessary work on the tur-
bines and in changing the source Of the
water supply for mill purposes. It's sue
cess has inspired confidence in investors,
and it's first fruits are seen in the letting

Whesierss Order 70 shoot Mr.. Belknap.
There was . strange incident in the
room OF the house committee on military
affairs the other day, when General
Wheeler, of Alabama, brought out an
old order book to show 70 Mr.. Belknap.
Of Michigan. in which was the copy Of
the standing order that one Charles Bel
knap. of the Twenty-first Michigan in
fantry, be shot If captured. 1t was the
sequel TO war time story. Mr.. Bel
KNAPP enlisted at sixteen. He doesn't
look thirty now, with his straight figure,
fright eyes and military brown mus
hche, but in war time he was as dash
ing . daredevil as ever lived. One
night, just for the fun of it, he mounted
his horse and rode boldly through the
Confederate lines to the headquarters Of
General Wheeler, who was commander
OF the western Confederate cavalry.
The tent was empty.
Young helknap threw his lines to an
orderly, atrode boldly in and deliberate
" pocketed all the dispatches and pa
pers on the table. His very audacity
saved him, and not q man in all the Con-
federate camp even thought to question
him. Back he rode with the dispatches,
to unlimited applause and q captains
commission ut seventeen. Then 1t was
that General Wheeler turned green and
blue and white and red for rage, aud
tor six months his soldiers had orders to
shoot Belknap IL ever he came within
range again. Wheeler and Belknap are
the best OF friends, they serve ON the
same committee and delight in growing
reminiscent Of war times together.-St.

new thing in that line which may be-
come very popular. This new scarf is
made from the dried skin of the rattle
snake and makes very handsome tie,

APPALLING MINE HORROR.
A BELGIUM COAL PIT TAKES
FIRE.
Two Hundred and Fifty Miners Gre
mated.

BY the fire in the mine at Anderlues, Bel
GUM, $50 miners lost their lives, and it Is
believed that 10 of this number were ere
mated alive.
After It was found that the fire was gain
ing In strength, a consultation was he d be-
tween the mi owners and the engineers,
and il was decided as there was not the
slightest doubt that every body in the mine
was dead, the only course left open for them
to follow, 4 they hoped 20 recover the
bodies. was to food the mine
Preparations were being made TO carry
out this plan, but before any water could DO
pumped in. cries of Fire" were heard on all
sides, and the flames assembled to the pits
mouth, and sparks were scattered in every
direction. A few minutes later an immense
column Of of flame shot through the venti-
latinG shaft, piercing the thick clouds OF
smoke that were overhanging the shalt.
The sight was magnificent, but II meant GER
tain death for every person in the mine.
For great distance around the country
was Illuminated to almost the brightness of
day By the vast column OF fire pouring out
of the mine. In the meantime water had
commenced to be thrown into the burning
pit. Before it had descended any distance
il was converted into steam, and escaped
with tremendous roaring noise, which add
ed TO the horror OF the situation. The
scene has seldom, or ever, been Cqualed in
the mining disasters OF Belgium.
The destruction OF the buildings on the
surface proceeded without opposition, aud
in short time only the walls were standing.
All the heavy machinery at the mouth OF
the pit was destroyed and fell crashing down
the shaft. This acted as damper against
the flames ascending the shaft to the surface,
and therefore little fire could be seen. But
il could be heard roaring and SETTLING
through the galleries far below the surface.
