Ofthe Present Year.

The quarterly statement of Southern in
dustries prepared by the Tradesman of
Chattanooga. Tenn, shows that for the first
quarter of 1893 the new industries esta D.
lished exceed those Of the first quarter OF
1892 by 1873. While for the first quarter of
this year only s development companies
have been Incorporated, during The same
period of last year 81 were formed. The
quarter just ended also shows 76 cotton and
wooden mills established. SO -four and grist
mills, 20 canning factories. 40 oil mills, and
the building OF 81 waterworkS plants.
That the extensive timber interests of the
South are not only attracting attention but
capital is shown by the fact that 1876 new
woodworking plants have been established
during the past quarter, against l22 in
1892 and 141 in the first quarter of 1891
Tennessee heads the list with 80 new indus
tries in this line to her credit; Georgia and

opment. Mississippi, with Z, being the small

see and Texas each, and Florida AMI Louis
lana 1 each.

mills established, as against 20 for the same
quarter OF 1892. The increasing demand for
cottonseed oil and its products, together

Gently taken place, accounts for the large
number of new oil mills during the quarter;

DEATH IN THE SHAFT.
Ten Mem Suffocated by Smoke
i'm a Shamokin Mine.
What Resulted From Irving to
Fill a Lighted Lamp.

A miners lamp caused an explosion in the
Nelson Shaft, ShamoSin, Penn, at seven
o'clock few mornings ago. Many miners
escaped, but ten were killed. Owing to the
day being a holiday, there were not es mauy
men at work as usual. The mine is operate d
by L1n5doa s. Co. Thu bodies have been
recovered.
The killed were: John Roble, James Bren-
nan, Michael Brennan, john Ryan, Fred
ericx Ginter, John Burt, ohm Garry. joseph
Borteax. Nicholas BOLTON, Frank Shupis-
The fire started about twenty feet from
the bottom of the slope, where there was an
oilhouse used by the men to change their
working clothes for others before leaving
the mines.
About $50 q. m. Hungarian was filling
his lamp, and it exploded, igniting thu oil
about it. He rushed from the oiihouse, and
the flames spread with apidity.
Attempts were made TO fight the fire, but
those who started to do SO we're compelled to
flee for their lives. They succeeded in reach
ing the bottom OF the shaft and vera hauled
to the surface along with some belatei min
ers, 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 nearly 100 feet above where the fire
broke out Through an airway from the
lower vein to the r ed ash vein the smoke
poured, sufocating the untortunates like
TaCS 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 distress
ing. The wives and children Of the impris
oned men uttered agonizing cries and i'm
plored the men 10 the crowd to rescue loved
ones.
About midday rescuing party Of six
brave men went down the shaft and entered
the burning vein. The smoke was so dense
that they were compelled to lie down on
their stolnachs and keep wet sponges to
their nostrils to avoid sutfocation. 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, James and Michael.
I Further on the bodies of eight men were
found, making ten dead in ali. The bodies
were removed to the surface with much diff
fculty. They were taken to the blacksmith's
shop, where most pathetic scenes were wit
messed. Three of the men were married and
had large families. The others were young,
averaging less than twenty-five years.
Only two mules were gotten out alive.
Five were found with their necks resting
over each others bodies. How they got in
this position is mystery. There were al
together thirty dead mules in the mine.

MAY I have a peep at your treasures

MAY l have a peep at your treasures
Il / come out alive?'
AYE, truly, if You come out aliveT"
So Hans took the man who had swal-
lowed so many winters and summers,
and they entered the smokehouse about
dusk. There was already a scorching
fire in the furnace, and there was no es-
cape, for the king had locked the door.
You will have to let loose six or seven
winters" said Hans to his friend.
The man did as he was asked, and as
the night wore on the temperature be-
came actually chilly. Now a few sum
mers were let out, and the friends slept
comfortably until dawn.
When the king opened the door in the
morning, the man of many eason blew
a cold blast right in his face, so that the
royal nose was pinched with frost.
MAY l see your treasures nowT' asked
Hans.
First You must find my son, the child
prince. He is lost, and l mourn for him
night and day" declared the Mountain
King.
I'm find him." said Hans.
He now sought the man who could see
and hear so far.
Help me find the Mountain Kings
SON" cried Hans.
The man listened and looked, and at
last he said:
He is on the mountain, 100 miles
from here. / ear both see him and hear
him cry. Bird Dan must carry us to the
spot"
So they called on Bird Dan and soon
restored the young troll prince to his
father. Now Hans was told he might
ask for his pay.
'Give me-" said he, 1.-The rusty sword
that hangs on the wall"
THAT you cannot WELD" replied the
Mountain King.
Eyes, / can" said Hans. 'for I will
drink of the water of life in the bottle
on yonder shelf"
So he got the sword and the refresh
ing draft that gave him strength to WELD
1t.
Now" cried he, ''for a lamp to light
my path, and then I'm off to see the
treasures in the cavern beneath the
CASTLE"
The lamp you viii find in the cham
Der of light" said the Mountain King,
''but you will be powerless against the
dragon that guards my treasures"
I'VE shall see" said Hans, and finding
the lamp he went down into the bowels
Of the earth, lighted by its bright glow.
The dragon reared its hideous head at
his approach, but with n blow Of his
sword he severed this from its body.
Just as the Mountain King came to the
door to find out what was going on, the
sun burst in full glory from behind a
cloud.
Then troll and castle disappeared, and
Hans was left alone with the treasures he
had SO faithfully earned. Bird Dan was
quickly summoned, and he bore Hans,
with the treasures and the ready helpers,
to the place where they could be most
notwithstanding.
