But LittIe More TO Be Done.

Compared with what the work was
when the Commercial club began it, there
is little 10 be done in completing the
grand army encAmpment fund. The sum
required for proper entertainment OF the
veterans on their visit here next Ssptem-
Der was apparently large, but the city has
met the demand with loyalty and public
spiritedness that belong to the new era of
things. There was never any doubt of
the city's ability to assume responsibility
OF broad and costly hospitality for the en-
campmsnt; there was never any lack of
confidence IN the peoples will
ingness to bear their share
Of the expense. aud that they are giving
the fullest evidence of their willingness
has been observed in the readiness with
which business men, professional men,
wage-earners and ali classes have re-
spouded to the solicitations of the Com
mercial club the past week for'the ad-
ditional SCI, 900.
A noticeable feature OF these alter sub
scriptions is that many who pledged
amounts on the first list have increased
them Others who had not subscribed
have done so during the past few days
with promise of increasing them if it
becomes necessary. To this work
popular impetus was given by the
voluntary offerings OF wage-earners
and salaried men. Their cOntri-
buttons have been by no means small.
They are indicative OF sverybo dy's pride
in the city and earnest wish to have her
come out "frst best in entertaining the
snesmpmenL But every dollar is not to
be sxacted from the people. In addition
to what they give are TO come subscrip-
tions from the railroads. brswsriss, banks
and other large interests. These, it is
known. will bring the amount up to what
lie desired. With the reports OF the past
weeks canvass in hand and a knowledge
of what has been done by many solicitors
who have not yet reported. it will
require only q little more urgin &
to bring the work to an end.

SHAMoKIN, Pa, April IA miners
lamp caused an explosion in the Nelson
shaft at o'clock this morning. Ten dead
men have thus far been recovered from
the shaft They are:
JOHN ROBLE, married.
JAMES and NIKE BRENNAN. single.
JOHN RYAN, single.
FREDERICK GINTER single.
JOHN BURT. married.
JOHN GARRY. married.
JOE BORTREX. single.

FRANK sHUPlS, single.
1t is not known whether there are any
more in the mine, which is burning
tiercely, with the momentary danger of an
explosion. One thousand men are thrown
out of employment
Attempts were made to fight the fire,
but those who started to do so were COM
PEELED to flee for their lives. They sue
ceeded in reaching the bottom of the
shaft and were hauled to the surface.
along with some belated miners, who owe
their lives TO the fact that they did not go
to work at the usual time. The ten men
who lost their lives were at work in the
red ash vein, located nearly one hundred
feet above where the fire broke out
Through an air way from the lower vein
to the red ash vein the smoke poured,
suhocating the unfortunates like rats in a
trap. Almost the entire town gathered
in the vicinity of the burning mine. from
the air passages of which great volumes OF
smoke were issuing. The scenes were
most distressing. The wives and children
of the imprisoned men uttered agonizing
cries, and implored the men in the crowd
to rescue their loved ones.
About midday rescuiDg party of six
brave men went down the shaft and en-
tered the burning vein. The smoke was
80 dense that they were compelled to lie
down on their stomachs and keep wet
spoDges to their nostrils to avoid suifoca-
| ton. When they had proceeded a short
distance they came across the bodies of
two men locked in each others arms
They were the Brennan brothers, Gus and
Mifcheal. Further on the bodies of eight
moro men were found, making ten dead
in all. The bodies were removed TO the
surface with much difficulty. They were
taken to the blacksmith shop, where the
most pathetic scenes were witnessed.
Three of the men were married and had
| large families The others were young
men, averaging less than twenty-five years
| of age. Only two mules were gotten out
alive. Five were found with their necks
resting over each others bodies. How
| they got together in this position is a mys-
terry. There are altogether thirty dead
mules in the mine
At p. m. superintendent Gay an
/ nounced that the ten bodies removed from
the red ash vein comprised the total
number of dead. Although the hardest
| kind of work was done it was i'm possible
| for the volunteer force 10 extlnguish the
| flames, which at O'Clock communicated
| to the red ash vein. Three hours later
orders were issued to turn Carbon Run
| creek into the mine. This will take q
month and many more months will follow
before the mine will be in condition to
resume operations.

This is gospel truth. The vast majority
Of the democrats OF Indiana are democrats
from principle and they will not sacrifice
principle because OF pique or disappoint-
ment. Republican principles rather than
republican candidates are what they op-
pose. They will turn down those unfaith-
ful servants who have not followed demo-
cratic doctrines, but they will not turn
over the state to be governed on repub-
lcan lines

The Wage woman's Vacation.

A novel philsnthropic idea. recently
put into operation in NewYor City, with
auxiliaries in many Of the leading cities,
suggests itself as being of the greatest
good to the greatest mum Der as the season
OF the year approaches when the wage
earning populace suffers from the heat of
the city. The society referred TO is the
Helping hand visitors club, designed to
benefit two classes of women-the clerks
and seamstresses OF the city, who are
not fortunate enough to have friends in
the country, where they can during their
brief summer vacation escape the dust
and heat of the city, and who have not
the means to pay their way in such
home for even brief time. and the busy
housewives in the country who would
gladly board q respectable city girl free
for several weeks in exchange for part OF
a day spent in domestic work or sewing.
The remainder of the day could be given
over to recreation. such as could be found
in the country and which is so rare
pleasure to the girl of the city.
This organization grew out OF tn Q fact
mind had such friend in the city and
one in the country and arranged to have
the shop girl transferred to the country
home. The result was so satisfactory that
from this germ grew the club that IS GER
tainly a godsend to an innumerabls
host.
A breath of pure, exhilsrating country
air, with rambles over the meadows and
through the woods, with such appetizln0
viands from the culinary department that
can seldom be equaled or surpassed by
the city caterers art, can be fully sppre-
Grated only by the many who so seldom
know its pleasures A favored minority
of our city women may be driven in an
easy carriage to the station at the first sui
try spell and hurried off TO watering re-
sort or the seashore, whore shady retreats
and cool breszes make life endurable.
But We doubt if they so thoroughly enjoy
their summer as the shop girl who, day
in and day out, has endured the
oppressivsness OF the average store,
or The busy seamstress who has grown
pale aud lanRuid over doing a work that
never ends, when che is transferred from
the noisome hustle and sitting heat Of the
city to the quiet life and cooling breezes
of the country. The farmers wife. whose

This plan suggests itself as an sdmira-

THE last OF the full generals OF the south
side of the civil war passed away last
week in the person of Gen. KIRBY
SMITH. Quite all of the newspapers on
both sides OF the line so far as they have
passed under our observation spoke
IN complimentary terms of Gen.
SMITHS courage. gallantry and OF
his military equipment generally. The
New York Herald in this connection calls
20 mind a romance Of his eventful career.
The wound that he received at the first
Bull Run battle gave him his wife. When
the federal and confederate forces joined
issues that day Gen. SMITH was fully
thirty miles away. The Herald continues:
On receipt of the news he covered the
distance with histroops by forced march
and arrived just in time TO be OF signal
service 10 the southern troops. While
making a charge at the head of his force
he was so severely wounded that little
hope was entertained OF his recovery. he
was carried. however, TO the house Of Col.
MCDANIEL, where he received the atten-
tion which his desperate case required. 1t
Is more than probable that he would have
suceumbed but for the careful nursing of
she coloasps daughter. She watched him
night and day and her efforts we're repaid

HIDDEN TREASURE FOUND.
Important Decision I'm Case I'm
Georgia.

CARgoLLToN, Ga, April Ian interesting
case Of treasure trovs" has been tried in the
oircui. court in q nearby county in Alabama.
In 1850 Robert A. Wilson, q welI-to-do farmer
of Clay county. was blowing in his field and
turned up 5000 in twenty-dollar gold pieces.
The box which contained the gold crumbled
into dust which showed that the money had
beeen buried for years. John L. Wilson, g rel
alive of Robert, brought suit for the money in
behalf OF Wilson HaTkins. Wn0 had been dead
for ten years. Lawyers were employed and
the case was highly exciting. Wilson l.. Hsr-
kins owned the farm on which the money was
found. In 1865 he was & prosperous farmer
and had an elegant mansion on the farm. On
the eth of March, 1866. Wilson's raid was made
near this part of Alabama and an old negro
who WAS q slave OF Harkins and who was the
principal witness for the plaintiff, swore thai
on the day Wilson's command was near by he
saw his master run out OF the door with box
under one arm and q bag that looked as though
il contained money under the other. The
gro said his master called 10 him 10 catch the
horses and carry them 20 a certain thick woods
and tie them. lie said his old master ran to a
plum orchard with the box and
bag. The box Of money was found
between the roots of old pear
stump near the plum nursery. The money
date all the way tTsm 1910 to 1865, there being
only three pieces that bore the latter date. Ii
was proved that no one had lived on the prem
isss since Hsrkins died who would have had
the amount Of moDsy. The theory of the plain
tih was that Harkins buried the money at the
time the cid negro saw him run out OF the
house with the box and bag and that he told
no one Of the spot and when he died the secret
died with HIM. The defendant commended that.
IS the money was dated from lS46 to 1866. aud
as there was such blockade during the early
days of 1865. as the war going on, it would
have been next to impossible for . $50 gold
piece 10 have gone from the mint 1T Phiadel-
phia to Alabama from Jan. TO March 81
hence Harkins could not have buried the
money at the time the negro him leave the
house. The decision which was in favor of
the defendant Robert Wilson. Is the talk Of
the community.
