AsThread OF Song.

II was only a broken chord of song
That sang itself, the livelong day,
Over and Overin my heart,
And always the same sweet way
Always beginning low and soft,
Like tenderly spoken, Love, good night"
And ending in glad and joyous strains,
Like morning psalm when the world is
bright.
And the hours of the day were woven in
By the mystic thread of the haunting song,
That, somewhere out of the vanished past,
Sent forth its witchery clear and strong;
Something akin to the song of birds
When the sky is flushed with the coming
dawn,
Yet sad as the thoughtful hour which comes
When the last red light of day is done.
Beautiful echo that drifted back
From the far-off shore of long ago,
Over the wide and rugged waste,
Where never the winds of gladness blow,
Bringing the odor of wildwood flowers;
The laughing song of the mountain rill;
The green, glad fields where the cowslps
grow
And the CLEAN of waters calm and STILL
Sitting alone in the twilight still,
Whose mantle covers the earth with gray,
My heart is touched and my eyes grow dim,
AS the glow of the sunset fades away.
And feel the presence of the unseen guests
That out of the shadowy regions throng,
And l know they have crossed from the
farther shore
On the slender thread of the sweet old song.

Terrible Cnilnity IN a Michigan leon

Terrible cniainity IN a Michigan Iron
Mine.
A mine casually without parallel In the
annals Of tho mining industry of this coun-
try, II not OF the world, occurred at the Mans
field, the only producer OF Bessemcr ore in
the Crystal Falls, Michigan, mining district,
Mt 0 o'clock Thursday night. The mine cayed
In from the top to bottom, burying twenty
eight workmen and entailing loss of sG0O,-
0O0.
The Mansfield shafts are located on the
west bank of the Michigamme river, and the
working levels Of the mine ran directly under
the stream, md parallel with It for distance
Of several hundred feet The first level was
thirty feet below the bottom Of the river.
and the lower levels, five iii number, ran par.
allcl to the hrst. The bottom is 42s feet he.
low the surface of the water. The five upper
levels have been stopped out in the progress of
the work, leaving only timbers and pillars n,
ore to bear the mighty weight of the llnors of
orc above.
The accident is supposed to have been
caused by the giving way of the timber, on
the fifth level, allowing those above to follow
and At last the river to pour In upon the fatcd
men.
After the cave In the river bed below, the
mine was dry for mn hour and forty minutes,
Forty-elght men descended the shaft Iast
night. OF this number twenty escaped I'm
awful death and twcnty-cigLt found watery
graves. Their bodies will never be recovered
Most Of the survivors were at work on the
bottom level, which had not yet been stopped
out, and consequently did not cave when the
levels above fell. Tho men heard the crash
Of the cave and started for the ladder way.
All but four on this level reached tho ladder
way before the torrent of water down the
shaft cut on their avenue Of escape.

The Repeal Senators are Ready to Make
Term. with the silver Men.
A Washin ington dispatch says The Demo
cratic repeal senators have practically given
up the idea that the Sherman law eau be re.
pealcd Internationally and have, after mum.
erous conferences, decided upon compro-
mi.e which they belicfe will end the long
fight and secure the passage of n bill to re-
lcve the present situation by the end Of next
week.
Senator German aud other Democratic
repeal senators have been actively engaged In
arranging the terms of the compromise and To-
night they believe that they hsve succeeded.
1t Involves concessions on both sides. First,
the repeal Of the purchase clause; second, the
coinage Of n specified amount, t,o or two and
a half millions a month until the total silver
coinasc Ia sI0O. .000, 900, then the coinage OF
all the bullion In the treasury, and fourth, the
sale Of gold bonds to increase The gold &C.
serve TO an amount which Will be deemed SUI
iclcnt to insure the maintenance of gold and
silver money ut parity. When the proposi-
i!ou was submitted to Secretary Carlisle he
insisted upon the latter provision to the
agreement.
Its the general understanding that the Sill
yer Republican senators Will agree TO the
compromise; indeed, Senator German vouches
for that. The only thing in the WY OF this
programme now seens 10 bc the President.

To say that the street illumlnations are the
grandcst ever seen on the streets of any city
In the world is to state the case mildly. The
number OF lights used exceeds 1900, and
more than half OF these are electric. The
downtown section is n blaze of light, arches
competing for popularity with electric effects
OF the most dazzling character. These latter
are for the most part panorama with constant
changes, ,nd vehicle traffic Is we'll nigh sus-
pended owing 10 the crowds which throng
the streets as we'll as cover the sidewalks.
The western hemisphere panorama, Illus
tratcl hcresith, facing Washington Univer-
sity, has upwards of 200 electric lights and
tells tho story OF the discovery OF America In
letters OF fire. Another magnificent specta-
Gle Is the electric floral arch in natural colors
and another Is n combination of the flags OF
the United States and Spain with an eagle far
above the center There arc ten other cleo
tric displays nil equally attractive.
The illumlnations will be repeated Oct 8,
5, ID and 10, and every one who appreciates
combination Of beauty and msgn.0cence
ought to see them. Tho railroad rates are
exceptionally low and the attractions MS ex-
cept!onaily gorgeous and irrcs!stble.

SENATOR cAMeRon's SPEECH.
PennsyIvania Republican League Backs
Him Up.-Movcmsnt to Unite
the Proteetionists and Sill

The speech of Senator Cameron In favor OF
the free coinage of silver continues to attract
attention at Washington, not only because 1t
Ia a startling aud unusual attitude for Re-
publican senator from an Eastern state like
Pennsylvan!s to take, but because OF the
events which are crowding upon the heels of
that speech In Pennsylvania. Al the meeting
of the Republican State League at Reading
an attempt to censurs Senator Cameron for
his course was defeated by 4 atwo-thirds ma
jorlty. An explanation Of this failure to cen
sure Senator Cameron, and, indeed, of the
attitude he has taken, was furnished by the
Intelligence that movements is on foot among
the protected manufacturers Of Pennsylvania
TO effect a combination between the protected
interests and the free-silyer men, which shall
have for its aim the defeat of legislation look
Ing TO tariff reduction and the qualification OF
the Wests demand for free coinage under
modified conditions.
Some of the members Of the Manufacturers'
Club of PhiiadelphiA, led by James Dobson,
the big wooden manufacturer, and Wharton
Baker, the banker, are engaged in circulat-
Ing a petition TO the Senate looking to con-
solidatlon of the inteI ests Of the protection
lists and the frec-siiverites. Many signatures
are being procured.
The scheme is to defeat the new tariff bill
and give to silver, first, free coinage Of silver
upon payment by the owners Of seignorage
three-fourths of the difference be-
tween the market QLondon) price Of the bull
lion and It's coined value.
Second, the prohibition Of foreign silver for
coinage purposes, except at = seignorAge that
will absorb all the difference between the
market price and the mint value, aud third,
An International monetary conference, In
Guiding all the nations Of the world except
gold mono-metalltst countries, for the pur-
pose Of arriving at an international agree
ment
The claim is set up that the interests of Sill
yer and protection are Identical. The plan
mapped out by these Pennsylvania manufac-
turers, 1t will be observed, follows closely the
idea of Senator Cameron's speech, except that
the former provides against an influx Of for
cign silver TO the mints by absorbing all the
difference between the market and coined
value Of silver, while the latter places upon
foreign silver an inhibitory duty.

Between venetis and Scranton thirty or forty
houses were blown down but no lives reported

twelve churches were wrecked, hvs Of them
being located at Grand Bay. In Scranton
and at PascagrulA, four miles distant on the
sound, houses were blown down, stores flooded
and stocka damaged, while At East Pasea-
goula, which is the port Of entry, the entire
beach Is said u have been wrecked. Tho
losses at the two points arc said 70 reach
$4,000
Rumors place the loss OF life 10 the Vicinity
of Mobile At nfty but more would place the
loes at twenty-five. Near Blakeiy, in the
marshes, whole families have been swept
away, and the actual loss Of life will probably
never be known. The reporter who made the
trip rescued several children and tied up two
unknown bodies, one of = girl aged II, the
other man aged about IS, both apparently
Germans. Five OF the children, the eldest
not over years of age, were found tied to-
gether In the marsh opposite the mouth Of
the Spanish river. They said their father
and mother had gone in a boat after the
house had gone.
Farther up the river two mora children
were rescued. Where these children came
from could not be learned.
Owing to tho sparseness Of the settleme mt
of these marshes and their inaccessibility It is
probable that many have perished. The spots
