them, getting within range Of herd
of the ruminants, brought down a
large bull.
Knife in hand the hunter was ap
preaching his quarry, when all at
once it rose, believing and ready fol
business. Since the gun was empty,
flight was the Sportsman's only re-
course, and an instant later a wild
eyed man was seen tearing away, with
a furious brute closely following.
Hunter number two, meanwhile,
was watching the scene from hill.
top too far off to be of the slightest
assistance to his companion.
A tragic termination of the chase
seemed inevitable, for the fleeing
gentleman was a heavy weight, and
already the space between pursueI
and pursued began to diminish. Sud.
denly the fugitive was seen to strike
off at an angle, and the breathless
watcher heaved a sigh of relief when
his friends objective point was found
to be cave but few rods away.
At the very entrance to this SEEM
ing place Of safety, however, the fee
ing man turned aside and dashed
with such frantic speed across the
plain that marked gain was made
upon his pursuer.
But this could not last long, and
finally, the fugitiye's strength utterly
failing him, he fell completely ex-
bausted, while the buffalo, faint from
loss of blood, dropped at almost the
same instant, and within less than
rod Of the prostrate man.
Hunter number two now came up,
and his first question was:
"Why didn't you run into the cave,
Colonel? That would have shielded
you from the buffalo,"
Buffalo," came the painting but
contemptuous response; why, Gen
eral, there's a bear in that cave as
big as two buffalo"

Their quarters were snug, clean and

TITLES OF NOVELS.
The Eight of Authors to Quarry for New
M Names in Poetry.

The Blight of Authors to Quarry for New
Names in Poetry.
s The average novel, the outsider
gathers, is a better-paying concern
than the average poem, says the St.
Y Names Budget And that, no doubt,
q Us why there is so much more fuss
about proprietary rights in the titles
of novels. If you feel so inclined you
may go on singing and sonneteering
@To Della" and "To Chloe" to your
hearts content, but if you desire to
romance about some mot impossible
she" you will be well advised to avoid
putting "She" upon your title-page.
Yet there is a decorum in these mat
ters
And personally one is inclined to
think that Edward Jay was unwise to
write "The Worst of 1t" over his lines
In Lippincott's Magazine. The
phrase was all the worlds one. Now
you shall hardly hear it uttered in
the most different context without
wave of reminiscence of the passion
ate self-abandonment of the guilty
husband Of the wife in Browning's
poem. And the worst of it is that
MI. Jays subject seems to be the
same.
The right Of novelists, on the other
hand to quarry for titles in the
demensne of poetry is well established
by custom. Any novelist may take
@Pfoud Maisie's" name in vain or de-
grade "Airy Fairy Lillian" into some
Easy Breezy Caroline" in three vol
umes of prose travesty. Mr.. Jay is
well entitled-by custOm-to write a
thrilling shilling book and call it
SMesmerism," or novel of BOStonian
lntrospection and call it "Le Byron de
Nos Jours," or an erotic study after
Mr. Saltus and call it "a Light
Woman" Poets have been known to
protest, but they are little old
fashioned up on Parnassus. When,
in her habitation, the loyal Primrose
Dame is asked if she has read "Endy-
mion" she naturally answers: Eyes"
But it is Keats poem that the title
denotes in the republic OF letters still.
Mr.. Stevenson stole the title of one
Aof his volumes of verse from Ben JON
sons underwood, and very pretty
title it is. Mr.. Stevenson acknowl-
edge the theft in the handsomest
4llnnnner:
J 0f AL my verse, like not single line;
= NM like my title, for it is not mine.
zXkE&t title from better man l stole;
" &hS how much better had stol'n the whole;
because, of course, there is no copy

fed that but few of Mr.. Steven

iniscences of Rare Ben.

THE MINE HORROR.
One Hundred and Fifty Persons Miss
more. Nd"

A telegram from South McAllister,
|. T., saws: Nearly all the bodies have
so far been recovered from the Usage
mine at Krebbs, 1t is estimated that
the number of missing will reach the
total of 100, based on the Following
figures: About $50 men were IN the
mine at the time of the explosion; 20
dead bodies have been recovered, the
names of 96 men slightly and seriously
injured are known, and about oo men
escaped without injury.
Those who first went into the shaIt
after the explosion say the scene was
revolving. Legs, arms and headiess
bodies were lying in a mass at the
bottom of the shaft, and scattered all
over the various approaches. Iweh-
ty-four bodies were found at that
point, but only six of them could De
identified.
Six small BOYS, names unknown,
who were tending the fans, were
killed outright and were found dead at
their posts. 1t has been learned That
the explosion was caused by George
Lowery exploding what is known as
window shot.
Fleming, the mining expert tne
former superintendent OF the mihe'
but now general manager or the Sou'h-
west Coal and Improvement Company,
of Colgate, |. r., says the man VINO
fred the shot was to blame Tor the
disaster, for he should not have fired
it until all the men were out OF the
mine. The shot was fired at o;p.
when it should not have been hrea
until $500
Had they waited, there would have
been only four or five men IN the
shaft and not more than four or nve
deaths would have resulted from the
explosion. OF those who were taken
ont alive, fifteen died yesterday. In
addition to these thirty-iive are SO
badly hurt that at least twenty VIII
die. These are lying swathed from
head TO foot in bandages, and are so
badly iriured they cannot tell tne
story of the accident. The work IN
all the mines in the vicinity has been
stopped and the miners in the other
shafts are rendering all the assistance

WHEELS OF INDUSTRY.
Weekly Review Of the south's In
dustrial Progress.

The Manufacturers Record, of Bal
timore, in reviewing the industrial
progress of the South for the past
week, says:
ait is too early in the new year to
expect any very great activity in new
enterprises, but Notwithstanding this
the past week shows a healthy growth,
with decided tendency of capital to
seek investments in the south moro
freely than for many months. Very
large sales of Southern municipal
securities have lately been made
in the North and the West, and the
outlook is promising for increased
confidence in Southern securities of all
kinds. Active efforts for the building
up of Southern ports continue, and at
Newport News additional shipping
facilities are to be constructed; at
Norfolk large piers, a machine shop
and roundhouse are to be built by the
Norfolk and Western to accommo-
date its heavily increasing busl-
ness there, while at Charleston ex-
tensive wharf property has been
purchased by Northern capital
lists. At other ports the work Of
developing their foreign trade goes on
| steadily. In the industrial line there
has been fair amount of activity,
and among the new enterprises res
| ported for the week are $3.50, 900

Arkansas Pass Railroad Strike at
an End.

A special from San Antonio, Texas,
says: One of the greatest railroad
strikes of the southwest is practically
at an end, the only hitch being over
the question of whether old employees
shall be reinstated, which means the
discharge of large numbers of men
who have taken the place of the strik-
ers, or moi.
The chiefs of the three greatest
labor organizations in the United
States, Order OF Railway Conductors,
Board of Railway Tralnmen, and
brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
and Flremen, have wired the railroad
officials interested, that they believe
the strike to be illegal and would order
the men back.

LOOKS LIKE WAR.
The Cabinet Has Determined That
Chill Must Apologize or Fight.

"Chili must answer" This is the
substance of dispatch that was cabled
Minister Egan Wednesday.
President Harrison has grown
weary of Chili's delay in giving
reply to our demand for salts faction,
and has determined she must make
answer speedily. This fact has been
closely guarded secret at the State
department and it only leaked out
through inadvertency.
1t is understood that Minister Egan
has been instructed to notify the
Chilian foreign office that not only do
we want speedy reply as to its pur-
poses, but still insist on full repara-
ton.
In the polite language of diplomacy,
ii is understood to cover an apology
and indemnity, and the punishment of
all parties convicted of the outrage.
President Harrison announced, at
the Cabinet meeting, that Mr.. Egan
had cabled him that something definite
might be expected from Chill within
few days, and another dispatch is

Messages have been received from

assault on the Baltimore's crew at
Valparaiso, the San Francisco Chroni-

the sailors of the Baltimore without
feeling at once that the subject of the
Valparaiso attack has assumed such u
phase that the hurt cannot be cured

the United States to demand complete
