We cannot recall so charming and so
delightful an entertainment IN Island
Pond as that given by Miss Efhe Elaine
Hext last Tuesday evening. Her recita-
tons were extremely fine, varied i'll their
character, and alike i'll the pathetic, dra-
matte and humorous were rendered ad-
mirablv. An encore was demanded at
the close of each and graciously acceded
to bv Miss Hext. The statuesque pos
ings, forty-fvc in all, captivated the au-
dience, and elected the most hearty APP
plause. Miss Hext made a very tavora-
BILE impression, and will always be re-
garded by Island Pond people as fully
capable of entertaining an audience. The
expressions of appreciation and pleasure
were many and highly flatterlng to this
gifted young lady. 1t is much to be re-
GREETED that so refined, interesting and
instructive an entertainment did not
attract a larger audience. We would like
to see Miss Hext here again for we are
sure there would be large attendance
to greet her. A local orchestra OF tour
pieces furnished some excellent music
which added not little to the general
endowment of the evenings entertain

MINERS BURIED ALTE.
Terrible Accident in a Mine Near
Dayton, Tenn,
TWBNTY-NINB LIVES SACRIFICED

An Explosion of FIredamp Caused the
Roof of the Mine to Cave In, shutting
OF the Air and Making 1t Impossible
to Reach Even the Dead Bodies.
CHATTANOOGA Tenn, Dec 21.--Twenty-
nine miners lost their lives yesterday in
the Nelson mine, near Dayton, Tenn, by
an explosion of flredamp. The explosion
was succeeded by terrific crash, which
indicated that the roof of the passage
which they had entered had fallen in. No
avenue of escape was left and thore is no
possibility that any Of the men will be
found alive.
The mine is the property of the Dayton
Coal and Iron company. The men, both
white and colored, including several boys,
entered the mine TO go to work at Z o'clock
in the morning but nothing of the awful
catastrophe was known until II o'clock,
when the miners at entry No 10 found
the way blocked by a solid wall of coal
and slate.
The entry where the unfortunate miners
are entOmbed ran back more than two
miles from the mouth Of the mine The
mine is of the kind common in southern
coal fields known as q drift or level veined
mine, worked in the direction of the vein,
straight into the face of the mountain, but
before the entry is reached a long slope
extends to n level several hundred yards
below, at an angle of about twenty de
grees. The cars are pulled up from the
foot of the slope, where tram cars, drawn
by mules, connect with the outside by
cable, which hauls the coal up with re
markable rapidity.
Rescuing parties worked all day and
night trying TO reach them, but it is prob
able they will be several days forcing an
opening through the wall of the fallen
roofing, which must be made safe as they
proceed The foul air quickly exhautts
the workers. who are relieved by fresh
hands. The work will continue day and
night till the bodies are recovered
At the first drift mouth hundreds of
women and children soon gathered, and the
picture of their grief and despair is heart
rending. Mothers wringing their hands,
weeping daughters and little children,
sweethearts and grandparents, all in the
greatest distress, for they have been told
that there is no hope. The mine is ven
tilated by air shafts or passages. The
caving in of the wall in theentry cut off
the draught and death was certain to
those who breathed the poisoned air.
The following is nearly complete list
Of the entombed miners: Lon Ferguson,
Jack livestock, William Henderson, John
Westfield (cOlored), John Manis, Josh
Bennett, William Alexander w. H.
Davis Theodore Lane, win Lane (son of
Theodore), Tom Hawkins, John Leech
(colored), w. J. Miller, Robert Hamil-
ton, Laney Walker, Charles Washburn,
Cyrus Alexander, viii Brotherson, Jim
Johnson, Elder Morgan Ia son of ex-Post-
master Morgan), John Abel, a white boy,
and VIII Roddy, n colored lad. The first
ten were married.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.


He Urges Financial Legislation Before the
Holiday Adjournment.
WASHINGTON, Dec 21.-Presdent Cleve-
lands financial message, which was not
delivered to the senate until 4:3O yester-
day afternoon, is in substance as follows:
"In my last annual message the evils Of
our present financial system were plainly
pointed out and the causes and means of
the depletion of government gold were ex-
planned. 1t was therein stated that after
all the efforts that had been made by the
executive branch of the government to
protect our gold reserve by the issuance of
bonds amounting to more than S162 OOO,-
600, such reserve then amounted to but
little more than S79, 900, 900, that about
Sl6,000 600 had been withdrawn from such
reserve during the month next previous
to the date of that message, and that quite
large Withdrawals for shipment in the
immediate future were predicted. The
contingency then feared has reached us
1--WE are in the midst of another season
of perplexity caused by our dangerous and
fatuous financial operations. These may
be expected to recur with certainty as long
as there is no amendment in our financial
system If in this particular instance our
predicament is at all influenced by re-
cent instance upon the position we should
occupy in our relation to certain questions
concerning our foreign policy this fur
nishes a signal and impressive warning
that even the patriotic sentiment of our
people is not an adequate substituted for
sound financial policy.
"Of course there can be no doubt i'm any
thoughtful mind as to the complete sol
yency of our nation, nor can there be any
Just apprehension that the American
people will be satisfied with less than an
honest payment of our public obligations
in the recognized money of the world
We should not overlook the fact, how.
ever, that aroused fear is unreasoning and
must be taken into account in all efforts
to avert public loss and the sacrifice Of our
people 5 interests,
THE real and sensible cure for our re-
curing troubles can only be effected by a
complete change in our financial scheme.
Pending that, the executive branch of tho
government will not relax its efforts nor
abandon its determination TO use every
means within its reach to maintain before
the world American credit, nor will there
be any hesitation in exhibiting its conf
dence in the resources of our country and
the constant patriotism of our people.
"In view, however, of the peculiar sitps

THE CUmNoCK MINE VICTIMS.
1t Is Now Known That Thirty-seven Men
Were Killed.


1t Is Now Known That Thlrty-seven Men
Were Killed.
RALEIGH, N. c., Dec 21.-It is nov
known that thirty seven miners were killed
by the explosion ut the Cumnock mine.
The cause is still unknown Twenty min
utes before the accident the fire boss re
ported everything all right While the
work Of rescue was going on yesterday the
mouth of the shaft was surrounded by Il
large crowd of people. On one hand was
an old mother whose husband and sons
We're buried in the bowels of the earth
Nearby stood a young wife with a baby in
her arms while brothers, sisters and rela-
tives from far and near stood around weep
ing and wailing.
When the bodies were brought to the
surface several were unrecognizable. The
negroes could not be distinguished from
the white miners, all being covered with a
sooty coat of coal, and many having the face
and eyes burned out. DR. Moore. the
principal physician ON the scene, thinks
most of them died from suffucution by
fredamp, but the old miners think nearly
all were killed by the explosion. -Four
ffths Of the dead were married men and
their families are left helpless and desti-
tute.
The miners who escaped alive tell thrill
