The Fine Arts Building is intended
for permanent structure, constructed
of brick and iron The Administration
Building, like is namesake at the
Columbian Exposition, which faced the

history of the tate and much can be
plainly read from its design. The
familiar statue 4 California, crowned
with a wreath f poppies, stands on a
pedestal whose mgged character sug-
gests the mounhin regions. The prin-

Enormous Production of the Mines of the
United States.


United States.
A bulletin has been published by
the United States geological survey
setting forth the coal production Of
the country in the course OF the year,
which contains some interesting fg-
ures. From these it appears that the
total production OF all kinds OF coal
in 1892 was $50, 115, 42l gross tons. or
179, 329, ,07l net tons. This includes
the coal used at the mines In the
work of operating and ventilating
them. 1t also includes the coal con-
sumed by the employees at the mines.
The anthracite coal producing States
are Pennsylvania, Colorado, New
Mexico and Virginia. 1t Is unneces-
sary to state that Pennsylvania leads
all other sections in its production OF
anthracite. The other territories
mentioned produce so little Of this
kind of coal that they are hardly
worth consideration in this respect,
though the smallness of the yield In
some cases is due as much to the lack
Of enterprise in developing their re-
sources as to any other reason.
or the total productions OF anthra-
cite Pennsylvania furnished 46, (.
$50, 45G gross or 81, 472, 504 net tons,
the value Of which is placed at $62,-
ASP, 00O That would represent but
a little over $3.50 per ton, the value
at the mouth Of the mine. BY the
time it gets to the consumer in Chi
cago it has increased more than four
fold. Colorado's production Of an
tnracite was 81, 1853 net TONS There
is plenty of anthracite in that State,
but the attention of those engaged in
developing its resources has been so
engrossed with silver that they have
hardly thought their coal resources
deserving OF consideration. New
Mexico furnished to consumers but
2, 100 net tons during the year. The
weather is so warm down there all
the year round that coal bills do not
cut much figure in the expenses Of
tie people. Virginia produced for
the year only 657 tons of anthracite,
a quantity too small To be noticed in
the general supply. The production
of Pennsylvania 1892 increased by
l,613,75 gross tons, or 1907, 073
short tons over that of 1891. The In
crease In value was $S, 497, 265.
Bituminous products for 1892
amounted to 1l3, 264, ,97l gross tons
or l26, $50, 567 net tons, the value OF
which was 1925, LA, 3Sl. This was
an increase of :, 900, 900 gross tons, or
8, 955, 520 net tons, as compared with
the previous year, the increase In
value being $7,g35, 9Sl. This pro-
ductlon OF coal gave employment to
341, 943 persons exclusive of the num-
Der engaged In its distribution. OF
this number l29, $50 were employed
in the anthracite mines and 212, 893
in the bituminous mines. The aver
age number Of days the former worked
in the year was 1913 and the average
number OF days the latter were en-
ployed was 2l9. The average work
ing time of both was 2l2 days

GLOBE THEATER BURNS.

IOstons Famous Playhouse n Prey to
Flames for the Second Time.
Fire at Boston originating in the
lobe Theater, Monday night, caused
ae destruction of the theater and
early all the other buildings In the
tuare bonded by Washington and
ssex streets, Hayward place and Har-
son avenue. The total damage is not
nown, but will reach into the millions.
The fire was discovered in the coat
)om of the theater, and in fifteen
inutes the entire building was in
|lmes. The building is so located that
was impossible for the firemen to
lter it, or to reach the flames except
a one side, and in the rear was an

r fire was intense. Fifty fire engines
,ured water upon the flames, but so
ard was the fire to get at that no per-
|ptible effect could be seen. AT 2:l0
lere we're five explosions of consider
Die force, which scattered the embers
the fire skyward and threw down the
all between the theater and the store

hole block seemed doomed, and in
ge minutes the square bounded by
award place, Essex street, and Har-
son avenue was a solid mass OF
ames.
The theater building covers $3.50
luare feet of land. In this square
acre are fifteen buildings besides the

Sudden Recoyery.

Mrs Lucinda Ems was a good
woman, and "church member, {"
but not a perfect saint She was
quick with her tongue. but in all
other respects was commonly little
behindhand. When Mr.. Ems car
riage was seen starting for church
the neighbors knew it was about ten

thirty, and the Ems always arrived
shortly before eleven. Mr. Ems, 1t
should be said, was by nature quick

had cold; at other times her appe-
tite was poor She was never very
strong. you know" and there was no
doubt that Doctor Turnbull esteemed
her as one of his most profitable
patients.
At somewhat regular intervals she
took to her bed and made ready to
depart. There was no uncertainty
about it; the end was near. But
hitherto she had recovered, and as
was perhaps natural, the neighbors
and even her husband became used,
after while, to seeing her upon her
deathbed.
She is dead indeed now, good wo-
man, and her husband, too; but the
townspeople still relate the manner
in which she was once raised sudden
ly from what she had confidently
spoken OF as her last illness.
She had been in bed for ;hree days,
and as she herself said, was grow
ing weaker every mipute." She
called her hust and to her side.

in a feeble voice "Doa't mourn for
me too much. We sha'nt be separ-
ated very long. / shall be waiting
for you on the other shore"
"Well, DEAR" said Mr.. Ems, who
saw nothing so very alarming in
Lucinda's symptoms ''well, my dear,
l hope You won't get out OF patience
waiting fol me up yonder; but II the
time seems long you can remember
that in this world l always had to
wait for you"
The unexpected retort gave the in
valid's nervous system Just the need

CLEVER ESCAPE FROM JAIL.
Notorious slap" Hill, Disguised as n
Tramp, Walks Out to Freedom.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
FRANKFORT, Ind, Jan. 1.-THE no
torious Jap Hill, over whom a prison
sentence of nine years is hanging, escaped
from jail here at o'clock this morning
A couple of tramps had been turned in for
a nights lodging and when Sheriff Hill
one of them, walked to freedom, one OF
the tramps remaining in his stead. The
sheriff discovered the deception that had
been practiced on him ten minutes later
but II was then too late, the convict having
taken to the woods south Of the city, and,
aided by a heavy fog, made good his
escape. In 1890 Hill was sentenced to the
northern prison for twelve years for high
way robbery, but in January 1893 was
paroled by Governor Chase during good be-
havior. During the summer Hill stole a
lawn-mower, and after eludng the officers
FOR several weeks was captured last month
Friday Governor Matthews issued a re-
commitment and Hill was to have been
taken to Michigan City this morning to
serve the remaining nine years of his
sentence. The tramp who aided him in
making his escape gives the name of
Walter Satisfied, and says his home is
at Paducah, KY, occupation railroading
He denies having any knowledge of HilTs
intentions, but this is not believed by the
officers. Hill comes of bad stock. his
father and four other sons having done
time. When Hill was sentenced in 1890
two younger brothers went with him on
the same charge. one for four years the
other for two years. Fifty dollars reward
has been offered for his arrest and the
country is being secured. The escaped con-
wet Is about thirty-five years old, five feet

Mullen said he had plenty of water in the
boiler at the time. He said that he first
discovered something wrong at Daleville.
When he arrived in Muncie he made
close examination, but could locate nothing
unusual. The engine was an old mogul,
had been in the shops several times and
railroad men say il was not fit for use and
should have been relegated to the scrap
iron pile long since. The train she was
pulling was very heavy and the strain was
too heavy. When the explosion occurred
the conclusion was so strong that the train
stopped and run back the opposite
direction several feet.
