Couldn't Smell In the Dark.

An old gentleman too impatient for
his hot water and light to be brought
rushed into the kitchen, seized hold of
the first pan on the stove and dashed
away with it TO his dark room. On
plunging his hands into the wash
hand basin he was amazed to find that
it contained something thicker and
stickier than water-that he had. in
fact, spoiled the first course of his din
ner by trying TO wash in the soup
Boiling over with passion, he began
to upbraid his wife. and on her suggest
ing that he might have smelled it was
soup he Numbered, How in the name
of fortune could smell in the dark

A SERIES OF
ACCIDENTS.
Occurred in Boston Run, GilbertOn
and Packer No. 4 COllierieS.
ONE OF THEM WAS FATAL.
Two Victims Crushed by Cars and One
Died Last " .nt-The Others Struck
by l. mining and Burned.

There were two accidents at Boston
Run yesterday, one Of which proved fatal
and the other will probably result so, one
serious accident caused by lightning at
the Gilberton COlliery, and one at Packer
No. oolliery, in which two men were
seriously burned by an explosion of mine
gas.
The victim who died was Richard
Cover, a Welshmau 46 years of age, un-
married, and residing at Mahanoy City.
He lived for several hOUrs after the acct
dent occurred.
Cover went to Boston Run c1lliery yes
terday to seek work and in lodging out
of the way of one mine car was knocked
down and run over by another receiving
a crush about the shoulders and chest.
The injured man was removed to the
house OF John Yates, at Mahanoy City,
where he boarded, and di d there at 6.3O
o'clock last night. He was member of
the Welsh Ivorites.
Frederick Frey, a boy fourteen years of
age, was probably fatally injured at
the Boston Run col iery yesterday after
noon. While attempting to couple mine
cars he was caught between them and his
body was badly squeezed. The boy was
removed to his home at Boston Run. At
last accounts he was in a critical con-
dition.
The third victim in the Mahanoy valley
yesterday WAS rank Dance, a IOllSu resi-
dent of this town. He was employed at
the dirt bank of the GilbertOn colliery
and during the thunder storm yesterday
was struck by lightning. The bolt struck
him on the left shoulder and passed down
the arm. Dance was knocked senseless
and when picked up was supposed to be
dead, but he soon recovered consciousness
and was removed to the Miners Hospi-
tai at Fountain Springs The officials of
the hospital say he will recover.
Dance had n watch in his pocket before
he was struck, but when he was picked
up the timepiece was missing. 1t was at
first thought the watch had been melted
by the bolt, bat as no trace of the metal
could be found it was concluded that
when the bolt knocked the man over his
watch went into the sulphur creek at the
bank
There was an explosion Of mine gas at
Packer No. 4 Colliery at about four o'clock
Yesterday afternoon by which two men
named George Miller and Anthony Bins
lie We're burned. lJ was at first reported
that the injuries were otH fatal character,
hu. subsequent information shows that
the burns were slight and were confined
90 the hands and face. There was a rush
of pillar and the mauway below the
place whore the men were working was
closed, In making their way ont the men
accidentally broke a safety lamp and the
gas was ignited

NAL, but was unable to do So The thrilling
dash ended on Centre street, between West

gashes from which the blood flowed in
torrents The wounds were not fatal,
however.

the horse were each six feet high and
three feet wide. Mr. Gardens loss is
about thirty dollars. The horse aud car

/, Under q contract whereby brokers agreed
with the landowner to find person with
whom the owner would make contract for
the sale Of his land at q fixed price and upon
terms satisfactory to himself at stipulated
commission, the brokers found purchaser
who contracted with the owner for the land Of
the price agreed upon, payments to be made
in installments, and giving the owner the op-
tion in case Of any default Of the purchaser to
declare the contract and the payments there
under forfeited. The purchaser was then
ready, willing and able to comply with the
conditions OF the contract, and subsequently
made two Of the payments provided for, but
defaulted In the others, and the owner, in
stead Of enforcing the contract, chose TO de-
clare Q forfeiture and to retain the payments
which had been made, but declined 70 pay the
commission. Held, That the brokers had
earned their commission when the purchaser
was found by them and accepted by the owner,
and that they cannot be deprived Of the same
because the deferred payments were not made
by the purchaser and the terms OF the con-
tract fully carried out.
q A finding Of the jury, based upon sum
cient testimony, 20 the effect that the land
owner accepted the services performed By the
brokers as 9 compliance With the conditions
