Till he heard a strain from his own refrain:

Seven Men Killed and Many Injured by
an Explosion at Golfers. ". Va.
A most appalling mine disaster occur
red Tuesday shortly after noon at the
Blanch coal mines on the Panhandle
Railroad at Golfers Station. w. Va.
A new miner, an Italian, put off an over
charge blast, which ignited the coal dust
in the mine and a fearful explosion fol-
lowed, carrying death and destruction in
it's path. There were fOrty-eight men in
the mine at the time and seven are known
to be dead.
After the explosion there was a terrific
whirlwind in the mine, carrying every
thing before it. Miners DOnnelly and
Roony were in the mine some distance
from and going toward the mouth. The
force of the explosion drove them nearly
100 yards out of the mouth of the mine
and landed Roony on the railroad track,
killing him instantly. Donnelly landed
in Il gully, striking his head against a
post. His brains were dashed out and
scattered for yards around. His wife
was the first to find him, and she swooned

CORN YIELD VERY LIGHT.
Present Indications Are thai 1t Will
Average but 1877 Bushels Per Acre.

Present Indications Are tina 1t Will
Average but 1871 Bushels Per Acre.
The November returns to the Depart
ment of Agriculture of the rate of yield
per acre make the average of corn 1871,
which is about ~ bushels above the
yield indicated by the condition figured
in October. This is the lowest rate
yield that has occurred since 1881, when
it stood at 1876 bushels per acre. Last
year the yield was 22.5 bushels upon a
much larger harvested acreage. The
rates for the years 1856, 1887 and 1890,
which were years of comparatively low
yield, were respectively %, POI and 20.7
bushels.
The yield for the present year, which
must be regarded as Il preliminary and
not final estimate, is less than the aver
age for the ten years, 1870 to 1879, by
n bushels, less than the average for the
succeeding decade, 1880 to 1889. by A.
bushels. and less Than the average for
the four years 1890 to 1893 by 81 bush
els. quality 79.4. The result is in harmony
with reported indications during the
growing season. The rates of yield of
the principal corn States are as follows:
New York. 2S.2; Pennsylvania, 80: Ohio,
26.:3; Michigan. 23.2; Indiana, $50; Hi
nois, 2S.S; Iowa, Is; Mississippi, ID; Kan
sas. H.; Nebraska, 6.
The average yield of buckwhcat is 1G.1
bushels per acre. The average yield in
1893 was hi and in 1892 Ill bushels.
The average quality 90.3, 100 being the
standard. The average yield per acre Of
potatoes is returned as 60. In 1892 the
yield was 1.:32 and 1892 LII tons. The
quality is high, as shown by the percent
age of 94.5. The crop of apples is report
ed at41.7 per cent. of an average product.
The returns relative to the feeding of
wheat to stock are not sufficient to justify
a report at that date. The department
hopes to be able to make a special report
on this subject in the near future.

MISS WILLARD CHOSEN.
Woman's Christian Temperance Union
Again Elects Her President.

Again Elects Her President.
There was Il slightly decreased attend
ance at the convention of the WOman's
Christian Temperance Union, in session
at Cleveland, Tuesday. Immediately af-
ter the devotional exercises Mrs. Camp
bell, of Wisconsin, gave notice that at the
next annual convention she would move
20 amend article t of the constitution by
the substitution of the words "Vice
President at large" after the word "Pres-
Ment."
After this notice was given Mrs. T..
Sturtevant Peel, of California, arose and
announced that Miss Jessie Alderman,
around-the-world missionary of the UNI
ion, was seated with the California dele
CATION, and Mrs. Peel desired that she
he given a seat on the platform. Miss
Alderman was by vote made a member
Of the convention and was escorted to
the platform. After this reports from
the WOman's Temperance Publishing
association were called for. The first
given was that of Miss Margaret Sud
dith. managing editor of the Union Sig
nal. the official organ of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union, and after
she had finished Mrs. Katherine Lent
Stevenson reported for "books and leaf
let's" Mrs. Caroline T.. Crow next re-
ported, also for the Union Signal.
Samuel Dickey, of the Prohibition par
ty, then spoke briefly and humorously.
After Mr.. Dickey had concluded the cleo
ton Dreliminarics were begun by the APP
pointment of tellcrs by the chair. Each
teller represented different sections of the
country. Just before the tellers began TO
pass about the audience Miss Alice Harris
took Il seat ut the piano and began to
sing. '.Blest BE the Tie" Instantly he
convention arose and joined in the sing
ing of the hymn.
The first ballot taken was Tor Presi-
dent. and resulted in the unanimous
choice of Miss Frances Willard. The
President was then presented with two
gavels sent by the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union of Churchill, n. y.
the wood being taken from the house
where Miss Willard was born. Miss Viii
lard then nominated Mrs. l.. ii. n. Ste
vens for Vice observation-disclosures. and
she was also unanimously elected to that
position. Then came the election of II
Corresponding Secretary to fill the place
9f Mrs. Stevens, who had just been elect
cd Vice President-at-Large. OF the $50
votes cast, Mrs. KatherineLcntSteven-
son received $50, and was declared elect
ed. Afterward her election was made
unanimous. Mrs. Clara Hoffman was
unanimously elected Recording Secreta-
nv, and she followed with a brief address
of thanks for the honor. Next came the
election of Treasurer, and Mrs. Helen ii.
Barker was promptly reelected by a ris-
ing vote. After Il short address by Mrs.
Barker the convention took a recess.
The feature of the afternoon session
was the exercises in memoir of Mrs.
Mary A. Woodbridge, late Recording
Secretary of the national organization,
who died about a month ago.

JAPAN STATES TERMS.

Cannot Accept the Offer of Mediation by
the United States Government.
1t is learned that the Japanese Gov
ernment has sent its reply to the note of
United States Minister Dun asking
whether Il tender by the President of
the United States of his good Offices in
the interest of restoring peace in the East
would be agreeable tc Japan. Before
| reaching Il conclusion the ministry gave
| the matter consideration for several days
and finally stated TO Mr.. Dun that, al
! though the friendly sentiments which
prompted the Government and people of
| the United States were deeply appreciat'
| ed, the success of the Japanese arms had
been such that China should approach
| Japan directly on the subject. In view
of the absence of Japanese and Chinese
| diplomatic representatives at Pekin and
| Toxic respectively, this would imply that
| any communication between the two
/ governments would be made through the
| American ministers to China and Japan
who. since the outbreak of the war, have
had in charge the interests of the two
countries.

way. There is little hope that she will

away. There is little hope that she will
recover.
The news of the disaster quickly spread,
and in a few moments hundreds of people
were crowded about the mouth of the
mine. Many hcart-rendering scenes were
enacted. The wives and children of the
miners were frantic and strong men were
overcome. In a short time Il rescuing
party was organized and went into the
mines after the bodies. Prosecuting At
torney Cotton and Coroner Walkinskaw
OF Wellsburg were soon on the ground
and took charge Of the bodies. They will
conduct a rigid investigation. This is the
second accident of the kind which has
occurred at this mine. Just two years
ago n similar explosion occurred, in which
three were killed and several injured.
The miners charge that the accident was
due to the incXperience of the Italian
miners and declare they will not work
with them any more.
