WILKEsBARRE, June 24.-The bcdy OF
Abram Walker was recovered this morn
ing from the fatal No. shaft at Nanti.
coke, where he and four others met
death last evening by an explosion of
gas
Walker had evidently been near the
face of his chamber when the fiery
blast swept down the gangway and was
not injured by the flames; he had then
rushed out and was making his way
along the gapgway to the upper work.
1ngS when an immense mass OF rock
and coal, loosened by the explosion,
fell, burying him and crushing out his
lie. John Weiegable, of Boretown,
one OF the survivors. says that he was
starting for home, having finished his
shift when the explosion took place,
which made him unconscious for q short
time.
Finally he came to and groped his
way over the debris, when suddenly he
heard faint sound. Crawling in that
direction he came against car where
he found Gwyn. the driver, fast under
1T, pleading for help, and, though almost
exhausted, he succeeded in getting him
out and helped him along through the
darkness over great piles Of timbers
and rock which had fallen. Finally
Gwyn became exhausted and lay down
on one of the piles in half unconscious
state. Weisgable wandered a little wav
further when he was overcome. After
time the air tcame better and he
again recovered and made an effort to
find his way out and soon saw the lights
OF the rescuing party.
The work Of repairing and retimber.
ing the gangwsy is being pushed as
rapidly as possible by the company and
work will be recommended in a few
days. All of che injured are doing we'll
except John Gwyn, who is SO horribly
burned that the physicians have small
hopes OF his recovery.

The Snapper Pulls Cushing's Boundless In
For 100000.


CHICAGO, June 24.-The great Amer.
lean derby was won by j. f. Cushing's
brown colt Boundless, with Snapper
Garrison in the saddle, after delay at
the post of one hour and thirty. seven
minutes, in the remarkable time of 2:a6
thus beating the previous best time for
the derby OF 2:361s. The Keene colt
ST. Leonard, with Taral up, finished
second. three lengths behind, and the
much touted Clifford captured third
money. 1t was the greatest derby ever
run In this country aud honors belong
mostly to Garrison, who rode the race
OF his life
Fully $4,000 people crushed and iammed
into an almost com pact mass, screaming
with excitement at the conclusion of
the event. Cushing flourishtd the GER
tilted check for $4,000 that the Wash.
ington Park Club gives to winners. The
crowd surged on TO track and Garrison
was almost smothered, so anxious was
each sport to grasp his hand.
Little Kuntz showed in front with
Lookout passing the stand the first
time around and he was cheered. He
did not hold this position very long
for Miller saw an opening and pushed
Aldebaran to the front with St Leonard
walking easily behind. The stretch
reached Fred Taral's mount and the
Bell colt took the lead with
Clifford second and Aldebaran third.
Then out from the ruck came Garrison,
with the quick moving Boundless and
every spectator knew the race was over,
Aldebarsn was fourth. Chorister fifth,
&. W. johnson sixth, Ingomar seventh,
Tyroe eighth and st. Croix, Plutus,
Ramapoo, Don Alonzo, Lookout, Operto
and Stratbrose finished in the order
named. The fractional time of the
race was: Quarter, 25; half, 81; six
furlongs, l:l7%; mile, l:44A; mile and
a quarter. 2:l0A. and the whole dis.
lance, 2:36.

Young Pinkerton, the attache OF Ring
hng's circus who eloped OIL abducted
Major Moors's 13-year old daughter, OF
Mitchell, has been brought up before
Judge Haney for preliminary examina-
ton and OF the opening scene the
Mitchell Republican says: "The young
fellow, who is a low browed, ~snake-eyed,
tan-colored chap with nothing in his
looks to recommend HIM to favorable
notice, appeared to realize that there
was trouble ahead for him and seemed
more or less nervous. The occasion was
a most trying one for 1.-THE parents and
the sympathy OF everyone present in the
court room went out to them. The
daughter seemed the least affected but
appeared to realize her position and on
ly glanced once at the companion Of her
escapade. The examination began with
the testimony OF Major Moore to the
effect that his daughter was between
thirteen and fourteen years OF age,
when Attorney Wagner demanded that
the testimony be taken by "A stenogra-
pher and the examination was postpon-
ed. In case of conviction the penalty
will be 10 years in the penitentiary."

Arrests TO He Made I'm Connection
with an indianapolis Failure.
CHICAGO. Ang. IA special to The
Tribune from indianapolis says:
1t is learned here that there viii
likely be a number of arrests as q result
of the indianapolis National bank fail
ure. Evidence made public shows the
defunct concern was grossly misman-
aged. and that the 81, 100, 900 Of de-
posits were strewn about with lavish
hands. 1t has been given out already
that the 81. 500, 900 of loans carried by
the bank are worthless to such a de-
gree that depositors may not realize
25 cents on the dollar.
Loaned tn Themselves.
The most serious charge, however, IL
that individual stockholders were per-
mitted to borrow many times v what
is allowed by the 10 per cent rule. T. p.
Haughey, the president. is charged with
having borrowed 800. 900 from the
bank, and a large manufacturing con-
Germ here in which he 10 interested is
said to have secured over 500, 900. Two
concerns operated by sons of President
Haughey are also said to have been
kept mp by generous loans from the
bank. On the day prior to the failure
the clearing house committee was able
to pick only $50, 900 Of safe securities
out of 1880. 900 in the banks posses
sion. These events have brought about
steady runs on the other banks, which
are being kept up, and those well in
formed speak of the situation here az
decidedly threatening.

An enquirer in the Inter Ocean asks
what "a clearing house certificate is?
President Isaac G.. Lombard, of the
National Bank OF America, who is chair
man Of the clearinghouse committee Of
the Chicago Clearing house association,
is authority for this short but compre-
hensive definition: "A clearing house
certificate 10 a certificate issued by some
committee OF the Clearing house associ-
alton for a certain amount, say 5000 or
more, for which coilaterals are deposited
with said committee. And such certifi-
Gates, were used, are good to pay clear
ing house balances. The Chicago Clear
ing house association has not issued
any certificates"
President Lyman j. Gage, of the First
National bank, gave this answer: "Clear-
ing-house certificates are what their name
indicates. They are certificates setting
forth that bank A, and B, or bank c
has deposited with the clearinghouse
committee appointed to do the business

He Wants to Ship Wheat to Europe
Via the Gulf.

s@ a. -.,.-
TOPEKA, Kan, Aug. 2-Governor
Lewelling announced that he would
appoint a commission in q few days to
visit Chicago to confer with represent
atives of European governments, re-
garding his plan to ship the products
Of the Mississippi valley to European
countries via the Mississippi valley,
Gulf Of Mexico and the Allan
tic cean. The governor has
collected statistics to show that
70 per cent Of the wheat raised in
the United States is grown in this re-
gion and if producers and shippers
would use the natural waterways in
stead of railroads to the Atlantic sea-
board, they would save millions of dol
lars annually. He has assurances that
the representatives OF European gov
ernments look with favor upon his
plan.
