berry.
Squire Williams last night heard addi-
tonal testimony in the robbery case in which
James Garfield is TIE defendant and Michael
McAvoy is alleged to have been an accessory
before and after the fact
Garfield reiterated his statements as given
by the HERALD and McAvoy was called as a
witness The latter said that he and Cam
field had talked of the latter stealing Flook's
money before the act was committed. He
also testified that he helped Canfeld count
some money last Saturday, but did not know
where it came from. Garfield and McAvoy
came to town and started on spree. Nc
Avoy says Garfield gave him a dollar The
next morning McAvoy found $3.50 in his
pocket but he did not know how it got there
as he was drunk the night before.
McAvoy also said he suspected Garfield had
stolen the money, but did not know where.
Il thought he got it in one of the patches, -
said he.
After hearing all the evidence Squire
Williams issued a warrant for McAvoy as an
accessory and he gave bail for trial Cam
field was taken to the county Jail this
morning.

terday and to day, but its operations were not
stopped and the water did not flow from any
dam, sound or broken
A reporter went up to the colliery this
morning and arrived at the upper office Just
in time to meet Superintendent Baird as he
came out of the slope and inspecting the
operation of the pump below.
Mr. Baird leughed when he was told OF
the report and said, Somebody is crazy
There is no broken dam here, but it is fact
that water has been trying to cripple us"
The reporter learned that the combined
thaw and continued heavy rains had caused
immense streams to pour from the mountain,
but the foresight and prompt action of the
superintendent had kept the colliery on its
feet and work was continued all day TO-DAY
with litue trouble.
Realizing that floods might threaten the
mine within few days Superintendent
Baird on Tuesday put number Of men on
the mountain above and around the mine
breeches and other openings to keep the
water courss clear and keep all streams on
The go down the creeks
Yesterday the superintendent took add.
tional precautions and put in operation the
mammoth pump that was installed in the
mine last spring, but which had not been
operated since last June This and another
pump worked steady all yesterday, last night
and to-day, and threw water out of the mine
At the rate of 800 gallons a minute. Mr.
Baird was in and about the mine all nigh
with the exception of an hour or two h,
snatched for sleep.
As an additional safeguard the force o
iremen was doubled and an ample supply o
steam was kept up at all hours for botl
pumping and hosting purposes.

As all arrangements are completed the
HERALD decided to make announcement to.
day of some additional inducements to the
competitors in its teachers contest These
| extra inducements are not intended to cause
extra exertion ON the part of the contestants
They are made voluntarily Our original inten.
tion was to send two teachers to the Worlds
Fair and nothing more, but so much interest
has been manifested in the contest and the
results have been so satisfactory to the
management it has been thought proper to
offer substantial encouragement to the
teachers who may make a gallant fight but
fail to attain first or second place.
After ma ure consideration we were led t.
the conclusion that the best additional in
ducement would be a trip to America pride
the wonderful Niagara Falls.
The two teachers who will be third and
fourth when the result of the contest is an
nouneed will be entitled to free fare to
Niagara Falls, free accommodations at first
class hotel there for five days, and free fare
back to Shenandoah.
If there will be any place of interest Oh
this continent next summer aside from the
Worlds Fair it viii be the wonderful
Niagara Falls, and certainly there is no plac,
on earth where school teachers can spend q
more interesting and enjoyable vacation,
When we speak of trip to Niagara Fall.
we refer to trips to the surrounding points Of
attraction, such as Goat Island Bridge
Rapids above the Falls, Bath Island Goa,
Island, Luna Island Biddle Stairs, Cave OF
be Winds, Three Sister Islands, Prospect
Park Whirlpool, Whirlpool Rapids, the
suspension ard Cantilever bridges, American
Falls Table Rock, Horseshoe Fall, the new
Suspension Bridge, Lundy's Lane Battle
ground, The Devils Hole, Brock S Monument
Indian Village, Whirlpool Canada Side
aud many other places of which the histor
ians have written so much. Nature has
many waterfalls and contaracts, but only
one Niagara.
Ii is the intention of the contest manage
ment to make additional inducements tC
other competitors as soon as negotiations car
be completed. We are not prepared to hint
at what they are, but they will no doubt be
received with satisfaction when announced.

~O top coal was very
treacherous and finally concluded to stop
until they could secure timber to prop the
place. Three Of the men started for the
material, but had not gone more than three
or our yards when an immense quantity OF
coal fell upon the two men who remained
behind.
The men who escaped the fall turned back
and with bars and shoves commenced the
work of releasing their less fortunate Dutties.
After hard work of few minutes the two
buried men were taken from the debris Ar.
| rangements had been made to carry them up
to the surface and have an ambulance take
them home, but to the surprise of ali the two
rescued men declined all assistance after they
were released and insisted upon walking
home.
The two men made prisoners by the fall
were Hungarians named Joseph Yousofsky
and Abe Lezuskey. They owe their escape
| from injury to the fact that the coal striking
them when the fall occurred was fine stuff
and did not drop from high place.
A gentleman of town who heard of the
accident last night said he thought there was
something very strange in connection with
most of the mishaps in the mines thus far
this year. Two accidents have been fatal and
the falls occurred either just after the top
had been sounded and declared safe, or steps
had just been taken to timber the place
The gentleman said it was his opinion that
too much risk has been taken in mine work
lately. They put off the dressing and
propping of place too long.

Money In Wall Street.

New Workers are noted for being
scramblers after money. But they are
just as remarkable for the risks they
take with it when they get it. A man
went through Wall street to the ferry
one day last week with $500, 1000 In the
pocket Of his overcoat. He had an UNI.
brella in one hand and cigar between
the fingers of the other. It would not
have required an expert pickpocket to
relieve him Of his wealth. Yesterday a lad
was sent to banking house to deposit
certified check for $65, 900. He went along
swinging it in his hand. In front Of the
bank he stopped and tried to balance the
check on the end Of his nose. No one
would have believed that what he had
was anything but worthless scrap Of
paper.-New York Times.

Hawthorne as a VISITOR.

On one occasion after my return from
an African and European cruise I was
ordered to the Portsmouth station, where
we were hardly settled at housekeeping
when Hawthorne came to see us.
The hall was encountered with boxes,
the sight Of which made him feel his
visit to be inopportune, and he said
quickly:
81 have just come for an hour or two
to see you and must return this even
ing"
Mrs. Bridge, seeing that he was only
afraid of incommoding us, at once an
swered:
"Must you desert us when need your
aid In unpacking these boxes?"
"Will you really let me help you" he
asked.
Her joking answer, assuring him Of
herpleasure in gaining helper so strong,
both in muscle and intelligence, put him
entirely at ease, and for week he made
himself useful on all possible occasions.

TRIED TO BREAK RECORDS.
A Toboggan Slide That Will Likely
Prove Fatal to Three.

NEW YORK, Aug. IA special to
The Sun from Colorado Springs, Colo,
says: Richard Woods, a Manitowoc
driver, and two other men, tried to
break all previous records of speed in
descending Pixies Peak, on a contriv-
ance called toboggan by the railroad
men. This consists of flat board nailed
over groove which fits closely on the
rack rail of the cog road. Below so
feet there is sharp turn at the top of
Son-of-a-Gun hill, the steepest point in
the whole road. Here the brake
must have become useless, for the
toboggan with its human freight,
shot down the incline beyond all con-
troll. At the first slight turn the frail
board jumped from the rails, leaping
into the air for fearful distance and
throwing the three men away out over
the mountain side. None of the men
struck the earth within 30 feet of the
track, and one of them, Wood. landed
fully rs feet away.
The surface there Is entirely rough,
broken rock, with jagged edges. The
men struck on this, being terribly cut
and bruised. All three may die.
