After the explosion there was ter
rife whirlwlnd in the mine, carrying
everything before it. DOnnelly and
Rooney were in the mine some distance
from and going towards the mouth. The
force Of the explosion drove them nearly
one hundred yards out Of the mouth of
the mine. and landed Rooney on the
railroad track, killing him instantly,
while DOnnelly landed in gully. strik-
ing his head againsta post. HIS
Brains Were Dashed Out
and scattered for yards around. His
wife was the first to find him. and she
swooned away and is now lying pros
trated by the shock. There is little hope
that she will recover. The news of the
disaster quickly spread. and in few
moments number of people were
crowded about the mouth of the mine.
The wives and children of the miners
were frantic and strong men were over
come. In a short time a rescuiDg
party, consisting of George Benbeon,
MEX Kernis, Arthur Ward. John
Stuart and William Davis. was
organized and went into the mine after
the bodies. When the bodies were
brought to the surface many women
swoOned at the sight. Prosecuting At

This is the second accident of the kind
which has occurred at this mine. Just
two years ago a similar explosion oc-
Cured in which three were killed and
several injured. The state mine in
spector will be here tomorrow to take
part In the investigation.
There were miraculous escapes when
the explosion occurred. William Davis
was In the entry $50 feet from the en~
trance, and when he heard the explosion
he lay down near the rib of the mine,
and the whirlwind, carrying rocks, fire
and death, passed over him. An empty
coal car standing at the entrance of the
mine was blown twenty-five yards. The
mine is owned by w. E. Smith, of
WellSviIe, and l.. o. Smith, of Cumber>
land. The miners charge that the ac.
cident was due to the ineXperience of
the Italian miners, and declare they

GOOD ROADS SUGGESTIONS.
4 solution of the Problem May he founa
In State Aid and County Control.

Ii is a comparatively easy matter 10
provide roads in populous, wealthy dis
tricts, where land is occupied 10y sub
urban residents and II worth 81 600 an
acre. as is the case in some of the coun-
ties in many Of our states, Immediately
adjoining the larger cities. The people
in these sections really desire good
roads. A fair tax upon the value of their
property will secure them. They are
ready not only To pay such tax will
| inglv. but are quite willing 10 contribute
voluntarily toward the road fund when
practical results are apparent.
The conditions are entirely different
when you come TO farming community
where land is worth $50 an acre and
where the burden of taxation for county,
poor and school purposes Is as large as
the ordinary farmer can bear, but even
in such community the conditions are
more favorable than when you go into
an undeveloped region where population
is sparse, where the country Is noun
famous, where the grades are steep ana
where taxable property reaches the min
imum
How will you make general law TO
reach three communities whose interests
are so diverse and apparently so irrec-
oncilable? 1t is plain that town or coun-
" control cannot apply with equal force
and effect 10 three such localities where
the value of taxable property and the
physical features of the country are sc
diverse. Or face another difficulty: How
will you provide by state legislation for
uniform system of roads where IN most
sections of the state good road material
is abundant and in some counties of II
scarcely a stone can be found?
What is this common groundY How
shall we meet the difficulties which have
been herein suggested? Ii would SEEM
with short experience Of the state o.
New Jersey under her well considered
act of April IA, 1891, as amended
March 90, 1899, that county contro
supplemented by state aid will meet th'
difficulties which exist in most Of thu
older states. County control in the lay
ing out Of the roads seems TO be essen
tial 10 any well considered system o
highways communicating with the prin
cipal cities, towns and villages therein
and state aid would enable the wealthie
communities 10 come 10 the help o
those less able TO bear the burdens o
we'll constructed and well maintaine'
roads. General J. A. Beaver.

For Improving surface of Roadways.

Clean gravel is always desirable and
should be used wherever it can be OBJ
tanned. If the soil III the roadway Is
found TO be of sticky, clayey nature,
we can improve it greatly by adding
few inches of sand and repeating this
operation every few months as the sand
works into the clay If the soil is com
posed of loose sand, we can greatly i'm
prove the road by adding layer of five
or six inches of stiff clay.
In the first instance, the sand tends
20 counteract the stiff and sticky quail
ties of the clay, and in the second case
the adhesive quality of the clay counter
acts the looseness and stiffness Of the
sand and helps 70 stiffen it and hold 1t
together. A little study and the appli-
cation Of common sense rules In each To-
calitv, aided by a few experiments, will
generally enable Us TO arrange the clay
and sand SO az TO give the best results.

A strange ceremony is carried on AZ a
certain temple lying in belt of swamp
and Jungle NJ the foot of the Himalayas.
The author of Indian Memories, who
visited the place At shutdown says that
she found the priests in perfec! S'e""@
engaged in cooking large CAKES before
the temple. Then they sat down, still
silent and stolid, as if ignorant OF any
unaccustomed presence.
As the last rays of sunlight died off
the temple a man of extreme age, clad
in white robes and closely shaven, issued
from the shrine. 1t was the chief priest.
Moving slowly forward he took up a
bronze hammer and began to strike
the bell. Very sweet and deep was the
note; the whole glade rang and vibrated
with il.
AT .he sound all the priests rose and
moved sofemniy and in dead silence
around the quadrangle, bealing with
them their huge cakes, which they
broke up as they walked and deposited
them on the stones and tree-trunks and
the steps of the temple. A rustling
sound made me turn A iackal big and

curl of his lips and a look of surprise
and resentment in his red-bronze, gieam-

simultaneously, from every lane and
passage in the darkening thicket, came
other jackals, singiy and in pairs, and
filled the space below the temple. Soor
the feast was spread. The high prie-
ceased to toll the bell and at a shout anc
wave of the hand every jackal trotted
without rivalry and without srarling OF
confusion to what was evidently his ac
customed pace in the feast seized the

He and other prisoners were locked up in

of the southern prison camps, OF which
he had experienced IA foretaste on pre-

In the same car with the prisoners, 70 pre-
vent their escape, and strict vigilance was
kept upon every movement. Morgan ana
friend nevertheless managed 10 regain
their liberty under the eyes of the sentinel.
While living on their blankets they cut a
hole through the floor of the car with a
knife. concealing the aperture with their
blankets until they had produced an open
ing large enough TO allow their bodies to
pass through. So quietly was the work
done that neither the guard nor their Eel
low prisoners surmised the truth. As soon
as an opportunity presented itself and the
car was dark enough to conceal their
movements they opened the aperture and
dropped through TO the roadbed. They
gained the adjoining woods and were fur
nishcd with provisions by an old negro
couple In the course of few days they
