An Amphibious Bost.

A new Canadian invention for use
In the lumber districts is coming into
general use In Northern Ontario. 1t
Is called steam warping tug. 1t
propels itself on land as we'll as on
water, and is used by lumbermen
whose operations are carried on
among small lakes connected by
streams of uncertain navigation.
The vessel has proved not only n
success. but great boon TO the lum-
Ter trade. Six of these unique crafts
have been built by the inventors dur
ing the past season, four completed
at their yard IN Ottawa, and two
shipped, ready 10 be put together at
their destination in the Nipissing
district.
They are built in scow shape, with
steel-shod runners for moving over

that there arc breeders who stfli cultivate

There Is also a fine showing OF mares ana

When we ask TO see the largo coach horse
we necessarily leave American breeds be-
hind, for the coach horse has been brought
TO state OF perfection In Europe far sur
passing anything to be found In this coun-
try. In point OF fact. American horses em-
brace saddle horses, road horses, trotters
and runners, but of draught horses and coach
horses all the breeds are European. Among
the coach horses the breeds now most cutt-
vated are the French coach horse and tho
Cleveland bay. Both have strong represen-
tation at the Fair Among the former are
fourteen stations over fve years old, four
between four and five, and ten undsr three.
Several stations are shown with three OF
their colts. and the showing OF mares IL ex-
tensivc. The Cleveland bays are not so nu-
merous, but among the stations there are q
number OF the best specimens, rs well as
among the Mares A third breed OF coach
horses is shown in the German "coacher,"
which contains numerous bunch.
There IL no barn OF horses that is moro
constantly crowded than the one where tho
Shetland ponies may be found. The breed
lug OF tho fascinating little fellows has been
rather extensive OF late years, and In some
cases quite profitable. Rich mon seek after
them for their children. and some adults arc
not exempt from weakness for them. There
are fifteen stations shown, and they come
from New York, Michigan, Wisconsin, Mis-
souri, and Iowa. The judging, which has not
yet taken place. will include teams OF three
and four abreast. All the ponies shown are

The queen insisted upon installing the
baron in her household as chamberlain,

ANOTHER MINE HORROR.
Inundation Of a Coal Pit at
Hazleton.
THREE LIVES SUPPOSED TO BE LOST

The Firing Of n Blast Results in the Flood
ing OF the Laurel Hill ColIiery-Most or
the Entombed Men MiracuIously Es-
cape with Slight Wounds.
HAzLEToN. Pa, ,April'4.-Another mine
horror occurred yesterday just on the out
side Of this city. The mine is known as
Laurel Hill, and is operated by Pardee
Brothers. The nature of the accident was
almost repetition of the Jeanesville dis
aster Of two years ago, when eighteen men
were drowned. The report that the water
now standing in the Sugar Loaf mine had
burst into the Laurel Hill and that cave
in followed 1t was circulated. About 800
men are employed in this mine.
Among the first TO arrive was Frank
Pardee, one of the operators. His intention
of descending the Ill fated mine was barely
announced when twenty miners stepped
forward to accompany him. They were at
once lowered into the pit, and when the
carriage returned Mine Superintendent
Durkin, heading ten more rescuers, boarded
it, and were Immediately dropped into the
fateful mine.
Superintendent Durkin and his band of
rescuers had barely reached the bottom
when the signal to hoist again was given.
1t had on board q crew of three grimy
excited miners. These three men had been
caught by the tremendous rush of water
and were carried by it to the foot Of the
slope. The first information in relation to
the cause of the accident came from these
men. The accident came when David
Williams fired blast in No. 10. Immed-
lately after the blast went off terrible
roar was. heard and an immense body Of
water rushed down No, 10 breast filling it
to the roof Williams was caught In the
food and undoubtedly perished.
The rush Of water into the gang changed
the current of air, and like telegraphic
signal warned all of their danger. Among
the first to realize its import was William
Dolan. Regardless of his own danger he
at once undertook to warn the men at
work Mt the various chambers above the
gangway. His heroism undoubtedly saved
the lives of ten men who are now at their
homes suffering from bruises sustained in
their battle with the flood
| 1t has been definitely ascertained that
three men are in the mine. They are
Thomas Hudson, w. l.. Trembath and
Richard Williams. The latter is dead be-
yond doubt. There is faint possibility
that the other two may be rescued alive.
The report that three of the men rescued
had died was found to be untrue. Although
several are suffering from broken arms,
dislocated shoulders and minor bruises, the
| injuries of none are considered dangerous.
| The accident, it is believed, was due to a
mistake in the surveys The escape of the
forty men from the mine is regarded as
miraculous. The search for the missing
men is being pushed vigorously.
