The Miners Lamp.

In many respects the miners electric
handlamp meets the requirements OF
mining work infinitely better than b
old safety lamp, hut it has a radical
fault, which must be overcome II II Is
to be kept in use. The thrush OF mine
gas to the working galleries is often SO
sudden that the miner has no idea OF Its
presence, and the only means he has OF
discovering it is the combustion that
goes on within the netting of his safety
lamp. As a matter of fact, an electric
lamp will give a splendid light while
its too confding owner is being smooth
cred. What is wanted is an electric
lamp fitted with an appliance that will
automatically give warning of the pres
ence of either black damp or fire damp
without the making of any special 90
~servation. Until this is done the use OF
the electric lamp in mines will be at
tended with anything but safety CHI

q term according to the amount of the
investment. The time runs for three
years for amounts from 81, 900 to 5000,
up to exemption for ten years to $40,-

Los ANGELES, CAL, special: The

Cured in the state took place Q littla

There has been a great deal OF ex-
citement at Rockport, Spencer
county, caused by report that the
grave of James Lowery had been
robbed. At first there was moi
much confidence placed in the re-
port, but later developments sub
stantiated the report. Mrs. Low
cry, mother Of the deceased. went
to the grave and found the shirt in
which her son had been buried.
The authorities took the matter in
hand and made an investigation by
opening the grave. They found
the grave empty. By whom and
whittier taken no one knows. Low
cry died about three weeks ago,
was about twenty-five years old,
and had always been a robust,
healthy young man up to about two
months prior to his death, when he
took quick consumption. There is
no medical college nearer than one
hundred miles of this city, and it is
believed that the body-snatchers are
near by. II is believed that other
graves have been robbed and an
investigation will will be made.
Watchers are now kept at the Gene
terry every night.

1t seems that Col. Hardy had
quite an opposition for the nomina-
ton. Some four candidates were
presented to the convention, among
the most dangerous being Judge
Gardiner, of this city. A delegate
in presenting his name said "he
(Gardiner) has promised to make q
thorough canvass Of the district, il
nominated. This was somewhat
of surprise to Hardy's friends,
On the first ballot Gardiner receiv-
ed 40 votes and Hardy IS. Daviess
county voted solidly for Hardy both
ballots. The delegates from this
county claimed that If Gardiner
wanted the nomination he ought td
have asked for it, and that the day fol
dark horses is past. The ring lead
ers Of this city did not attend, show
ing that they were not favorable te
Hardy. The Colonel is on top and
