MINERS IN THE HOSPITALS.
Dangerous Work Leads to Shocking
Accidents and Horrible Deaths.
From the New York Tribune

Every one knows in an indefinite way
that mining is dangerous, difficult aud
unpleasant occupation. Miners know
that some branches of their occupation
are so hazardous that if it were not for
green foreign hands there would not be
one to fill those situations of danger. Old
and experienced men would not accept
them for three times the ordinary wages.
In certain town in Pennsylvania, in the
midst OF rich coal region, the hospital is
always crowded with the wounded from
the mines, and for every working day the
average number of deaths is three.
The visitor in the hospital sees on every
side un-Americau faces with bandaged
heads, crushed limbs or injured backs,
and when he asks And how did il hap

THE GOSSIP OF GOTHAM.
Inside Particulars Concerning That
SpluTge Of the GOuldS.

Those Astor Grandchildren i How
Archbishop ireland Went Stunning
in New York.
Y New York, Sept. 25.-The sums now
be- ng RENTED abroad to members of the
Gould family are causing some financiers
20 stand aghast. 1t was stated that the
family went TO Europe with a credit of
81, 0OO, 600 in cash at Coutts' bank in Lon
don, and if this be so. it is impossible to
understand why the Goulds are drawing
from New York now as heavily as they
undoubtedly do. The Gould accounts
have averaged $3.50 600 month, drain,
1t is almost superfiuous to say, even the
elevated railway system of New York
can hardly endure very long. 1t has been
asserted that the Goulds propose invest
ing in large landed properties in England,
a report hardly credited at first, but the
heavy remittances cabled for have oc-
casioned some degree of credence among
6nanciers.
Mrs. Edith Kingdom Gould has herself
become quite land owner in New York.
These investments in her name have all
been made during the past two years, and
her realty is stated to be worth a million
dollars at least. There is a story that the
idea of the Gould splurge is to exchange
some of the late jays millions for title,

and stared at by reveling Wretches.
In conversation subsequently the arch
bishop declared that much as he has read
and heard of the Gotham slums, the real
tty exceeded all exaggeratiOn. The deg
radiation of the children affected him
more than anything else. He declared
that the little ones of Gotham have no
chance TO grow up to virtuous maturity
and that our. East Side is practically a
nursery of crime.
1t will be news to many that the arch
bishop is quite radical in most of his
views and has opinions on the labor Ques-
ton fully as advanced as those of many
leaders of the wage earners. He visits
New York frequently and never fails on
such occasions, to visit his friend, Mgr
Ducey. A strong effort was made in New
York to induce the prelate to speak on
the liquor question but this he begged to
be excused from doing, as ecclesias tical
etiquette does not permit one archbishop
to make public utterances in the diocese
of another without previously consulting
him.
There have been repetitions recently of
the report that the prelate of ST. Paul is
to be made cardinal, but such stories
have been circulated so often that they
will no longer find credence unless the
red hat can first be shown on the head of
the prospective prince Of the church.

International statistics prove that wild

ers That there are less widowers than
widows is a general fact everywhere. In
Switzerland, for instance, the number OF
widowers per 1000 of the male population
over fifteen years is co, while that Of the
widows OF the female population of the
same age is l21. Where two or three or
widowers succeed in contracting a second
marriage, scarcely one widow will have
the like chance. And yet the proportion
in Switzerland is a comparatively favora.

which the number of widows is not at

The little Roosevelt children, whose

source of such concern, will both be in
New York this winter at the home of
their grandmother. One of the children
has been abroad and the other in New

houses to live in and quite a retinue of
aunts and uncles interested in their well

However, the refusal of the New York
courts to allow them more than $4,000 a
year may not be embarrassing TO them.

ishmeut at the criticisms Of him, in view
of the fact that he had offered TO serve
his country in congress, and been pro

very evident that William Waldorf Astor

painful circumstance TO the friends of the

gree of assurance that Mr.. Astor still has

One curious fact about the japanese is
their superiority to the Chinese in learn

quaintance with our tongue, but the Chi

Already the former have held numerous
celebrations of the successive victories of
their countrymen, but when the news
came that China had, after all, come out
ahead in one of the fights, Chinatown was
one blaze of lights. In fine, New York is
in the midst of a little Chinese-Japanese

Deputy Warden Nelson Killed by ExPlo-
sives and Others Wounded-One Convict
Shot Dead.
NASHVILLE. Tenn, July 25.-Convicts
at Tracy City are in state of mutiny,
and, as result, two men are dead and
two others are suffering from slight
wounds. Yesterday afternoon the
convicts loaded pipe with explosives,
placed it in a coal car and attached a
slow fuse to it. Deputy Warden Nell
son and assistants were passing along
another entry to bring the convicts out
for the night, and when they ar
rived opposite it the bomb exploded.
Nelson was instantly killed, and
Guards Terrell and Thurman were
slightly wounded. A negro convict
named Pete Hamilton was killed by a
volley from the other guards. There
were lis convicts in the mines at the
time and all but seventy surrendered.
These remained inside and swear they
will not come out.
Nelson was a member of the last gen
eral assembly from Maury county.
State officials here were at once notk

home in Chester county, to go at once
night said it was hardly necessary to
send troops, as it was believed all con-
victs would surrender before morning.
Escape was probably the object of the

THE TARSNEY TARRiNG.

Six Of the Participants in the Outrage
Under Arrest-Some High Officials
Among Them-The Officers Who Made
the Arrests Threatened with Similar
Recommendations Running High
at Colorado Springs.
DENVER, Col, July 27.-Six men have
been arrested for completely in the
tarring and feathering of Adjt.-Gen.
Tarsney at Colorado Springs, three in
this city and three at the springs, and
more arrests are to follow.
The prisoners here are John A. Regain,
who was turnkey at the Jail at Colora-
do Springs on the night the outrage
was committed; his brother, Michael
Regain, an ex-deputy sheriff of Ell Paso
county, and shorty" Allen, alias
Thomas Gordon, who was one of Sheriff
Bowers army of deputies in the Bull
Hill warfare.
Allen is said to be the man who
polled the gun in Gen. Tarsney's face
at the Alamo hotel and applied the tar
and feathers to his person.
The three men arrested at Colorado
Springs are J. J. Mullin, son of a
wealthy Boston mine owner and a
prominent society man: Herman Reb-
beke. who was deputy sheriff during
the Cripple Creek trouble. and Eugene
Kinney, one of the hack-drivers who
took the party of masked men with
Gen. Tarsney to Austin Bluff.
UNRAvELING THE PLOT.
1t is said Chief of Police Armstrong
of this city has succeeded IN unravel-
ing the plot against Tarsney through
revelations made by ex-Deputy Sheriff
Parker, o. Ell Paso county. According
to his story the plot was arranged in
the ante-room of the Jail, and Under
Sheriff Bob Mullins, leader of the
Cripple Creek force of deputies, was
the guiding spirit, J. J. Mullin,
Parker says, furnishing money aud
Rebbeke bought the tar and feathers.
Parker is sure the money changed
hands in the presence of Turnkey Re-
gan. Parker saw Bob Mullins, J.J. Null
lin, Shorty" Allen, Herman Rebbelze
and deputy named Wilson get into Il
hack and drive toward the Alamo. 1t
is alleged that Regain has said Sheriff
Bowers turned prisoner, charged with
murder. out of jail to participate in the
outrage.
CONVENIENT ABSENCE.
Under-Sheritf Mullins went on trip
to Michigan and Wilson to Ohio when
the grand jury convened but they have
been located and it is said their cap
ture is certain.
Excitement is very high at Colorado
Springs over the arrests, and the Den
yer detectives. Eales and Duffield. who
made them, have been threatened with
similar treatment to that given Gen.
Tarsney. The prisoners were taken
away from them by Sheriff Bowers and
released on bail.

Brunson was implacable and when he
