Stabbed The Intruder.

BRISTOL, April 3.-At late hour
Saturday night George Ferguson was
stabbed in the house of his divorced
wife on west Main street.
1t appears that Ferguson went there
and entered the house, demanding
mat his divorced wife permit him To
tay vita her Mrs Ferguson stub
nurnly protested against his wishes
aud, 1T is claimed. he struck her twice
with cane and put out the lights in
the room.
By this time Annie Hayes, girl
who has been living with Mrs. Fergu
son, came TO her rescue, and drawing
knife thrust the blade into the left
hip of the intruder. The wound bled
freely. 1t is Of rather a serious nature
and has caused Ferguson much pain
DR.. MAJ Bacham, Jr., dressed the
wound.
Meanwhile Chief sharrett and Pol
iceman Kilgore, Of the Virginia 'rct
arrived and put both Geoage Fergu

Charred Bodies.

ALEXANDRIA, IND, April 1.-The
new two story Whiteside Block, in
which occurred the explosion last
midnight, by which four men wero
killed and three hurt, is total wreck.
The clothing stock was entirely ruin
ed, as were the barber shop and ex-
press office, and the total monetary
loss will reach fully $4,000 There
was basement feet in depth under
the building, with no ventilation, and
in this cavity the natural gas &C.
cumulated. 1t is thought to have be-
come ignited through the fire in the
stove There is said to har~ been u
quantity of nitroglycerin IA the ex-
press Office and some claim that g"
that alone was the explosion du". and
that it was cauud by can falling
from off a shelf where it had been
placed, but the preponderance of evil
dence appears 10 prove it to have been
due to the accumulation of natural gas
in the manner described. The calamity
is due to the carelessness of the archi-
tects in leaving no ventilation for the
basement to prevent the gas accumu
latlng and the inefficiency OF the
plumbers. After fighting the flames
for hours the rescuers were able to
reach the bodies of the dead men, and
the blackened oorpses, burned so as to
be entirely beyond recognition, were
removed from the charred timbers and
taken to their homes.

The managers Of the Shenandoah base
ball club deny the accusations of ex-
Umpire Dalton. They say that, contrary
to Dalton's statement they told him
when the Phillies first came here that az
Bradley was great fsvorite with Shen-
andoah audiences to give him the benefit
of any reasonable doubts on PLAYS.
AS to the fees for umpiring the
managers say that Holland, the
league umpire, asked to be allowed
to go home as his wife was sick and
Dalton would umpire the game for him
on Sunday. Holland was given five dol
lars and the management understood
Dalton would umpire the game for the
balance-$375, which Holland would
have received had he remained here, but
after the game Dalton insisted upon be-
ing paid S5 and the umpiring of that
game cost the management $40 Instead of
$50. 1t was decided then that Dalton
would not be allowed to umpire a game
for the club again. The management
also claims to have kept Dalton in en-
ployment as a special officer when there
was not an opening for him as umpire.

Of horror and sore distress of a more heart

This time death visits the place in the

The explosion took place in the Gilber-
ton colliery.
A noon report stated that twenty-five
men had been removed from the mine and
eighteen of them were dead.
A later report from reporter sent to
the scene by the HERALD showed that the
early reports were very much exagger-
ated, yet the explosion was bad one
special 10 EVENING HERALD.
GILBERToN, Aug. "a, p. m.-The explo-
sion at the Gilberton colliery took place
at l13O this morning.
The list of victims is as follows:
KILLED
FRANK MCCORMICK, aged 95 years; resid-
ing at Turkey Run, fire boss at the col
liery.
WILLIAM DAVIS, Gilberton, driver; head
cut and burned.
JAMES TooMEY, Gilberton; head and back
burned.
LOUIS BALL, Shenandoah, 1syears of age,
driver;lprobably fatally injured.
WILLIAM SCHULTZ, Shenandoah; arms
burned.
ROBERT SHERMAN, VIM. Penn; burned
about head and face.
JOHN KEsTER, Shenandoah; face and
hands burned.
HARRY BUCHANAN; burned about face,
hands and back.
GEORGE e. DAVIS, Turkey Run; face and
hands burned
Con. LEAHY, inside foreman of the col
liery; very badly burned and will prob
ably die,
Some Of the victims were taken to their
homes and some to the Miners Hospital
at Fountain Springs.
There were several men slightly burned.
The explosion took place just as the
breaker whistle blew for the dinner re-
cess.
There were about seventy five men in
the mine at the time. About ten in addi-
tion to those enumerated above suffered
from burns of more or less severe char
acter. All the rest escaped from the
mine safe and uninjured. None were
overcome by gas.
The explosion occurred in the third lift
of the Buck Mountain vein.
The exact cause of the explosion has
not been ascertained.
It is supposed that rush of coal in a
breast caused the gas to fill the gangway
and that it was ignited by the lamp of
one of the repairsmen.
This theory, however, is not indorsed
by the mine officials; but they have not
intimated what they believe caused the
explosion
Immediately after the explosion oc-
CURED the stable and the part of the
gangway in its vicinity took fire, but the
flames were extinguished before they

WHITEHOUSE ARRESTED.
The Missing Mine Foreman Caught Last
Night in New Jersey.

The Missing Mine Foreman Caught Last
Night in New Jersey.
A report reached town to day that
Joseph Whitehouse, the assistant out,
side forman at Shenandoah City colliery
who left town suddenly on Monday night
under a cloud of suspicion, was arrested
at the home of his wife's parents in New
Jersey last night
While the report does not come from
an official source it seems to be well
founded. There may be some delay in
getting Whitehouse back to Pottsville,
should he object to being taken out of
New Jersey.
The case has occasioned widespread
interest," which is increased by the report
that the p & r. Company has instituted
an investigation which may bring out
some startling facts. 1t is said that in-
formation of very important character
has been furnished the company and
should the case be pushed to trial the
developments will cause a stir.
The missing mans wife still protests
that she does not know where her hus-
band is, or why he went away and she
evidently does not intend to keep the
house waiting for his return, as she has
commenced a sale of her household goods.
This haste has led to increased suspicion
on the part of the authorities.
Friends of the missing man say that he
was foolish to run away. II the charges
which the informers have made against
him are false he should have stood his
ground.
One thing which puzzles many is how
WhitehOuse learned that the p. & r..
get out of town the night before Capt.
Christian arrived.

Many reports of minor damages have
been received from the interior of the

ROYAL Buckwheats,

For generations it has been the Gus
tom to mix the batter for buckwheat
cakes with yeast or emptyings, retain
ing portion of the batter left over
from one morning to raise the cakes
for the following day.
If kept too warm, or not used prompt
ly. this batter becomes excessively sour
and Objectionable. Buckwheat cakes
| raised by this means are more often
sour or heavy than light and sweet. II
eaten daily they distress the stomach
and cause skin eruptions and itching.
Instead of the old-fashioned way we
have been making buckwheat cakes
this winter with Royal Baking Powder,
mixing the batter fresh daily, and find
the result wonderfully satisfactory.
They are uniformly light and sweet,
more palatable and wholesome, and
can be eaten continuously without the
slightest digestive inconvenience. Be-
sides they are mixed and baked in a
moment, requiring no time to rise.
Following is the receipt used:
IWO cups VI pure puChWuCde houi
(not prepared or niixed); one cup of
wheat -four. two tablespoons of Royal
Baking Powder and one-half teaspoon
full of salt, all sifted well together.
Mix with milk into thin batter and
bake al once on a hot griddle. Once
properly tested from this receipt, no
other buckwheat will find its way to
your table-Domestic Cookery.
