A COAT ON THE WALL
Ignites Coal Mine and Causes the Death of One Miner and Suffo-
 cation of Others.

WINNIPEG, Man., March 1.-The Sul- tana mine shaft house at Ratportage took fire in the drying room this morning. Two miners are dead and eight others were al- most suffocated to death. The fire is sup posed to bave been started by pipe in the pocket of a coat hanging on the wall. Foreman Johnson, noticing the fire, called men to assist in putting it out, but all ran, being afraid of explosives in the drying room. Johnson rushed into the burning room, removed two boxes of powder and then tried to save the building.
 The fire started at 9 o'clock, and until 12:30 no effort could be made to assist the men in the shaft. AS soon as the ruins were sufficiently cooled 1t was found the timbers lining the shaft were blazing and water wss then directed on them, but in the excitement greater portion fell use less down the shaft. Then help arrived from Ratportage, and the flames were soon extinguished in the shaft.
 Motley Bell, assayer at the time, and Foreman Johnson descended the shaft and found six men on the first level, apparently all suffecated They descended to the lower level and found three more, but they were in better condition than the others, and efforts were begun to raise the miners. The first three raised were suffering badly, but were resusticated after short time with medical services. The fourth man f, JODu i1dSl5Sg Wdo ftiS tO" WdSh ChOuS to the surface and died shortly after. The others were In critical condition when brought to the surface, but all recovered but R. B. Ericson.
 The air shaft ignited and caused a suc- tion of air from the bottom of the shaft, thus depriving the men of fresh air and also causing smoke to descend the shaft. When found all the men were unconscious and leaning against the side of the shaft. The building was completely consumed 7, h,,t tha Ioaa io fair n Uara6 bU The fire did not affect the mine proper and work continues.

A Bad Condition.

In no section of the country is there greater need for Liver Medicines than in the South, and this has encouraged interruptions persons to take advan- tage of peoples misery and offer them all sorts of stuff as a cure-all for Liver troubles. Their preparations are sold to the druggists at low price. And the big profit to the druggist is the road by which they reach the public. Beware of any dealer who tells you that any Liver Medicine is just the same or as good as Simmons Liver Regulator put up by J. H. Zeilin & Co. You know it by the Red Z on the package. These preparations are not the same nor as good. Stick to the Old Friend. ? I2 eoa y

HOW IT HAPPENED.

MKIM, THE BEAR OPERATOR, LONG AND
 SHORT AT THE sAME TIME.
 NEW YoRK, March 11.-Clarence Mo- Kim, the broker who suspended on the stock exchange today, was one of the bold est bear operators in Wall street, and was reputed to have made between $1 ,000 GOO and $1 ,500, 900 in the panic of 1893. He was heavily short of Reading, Cordage, Whisky and Missouri Pacific in December, 1892, and stood upon his short contracts far into the summer of 1893, making g huge profits. His suspension was caused prin ncipally by his belief that Amer ican Sugar Refining stock would be com of sugar before the declaration of the divi- dend in December, when the stock was selling in the sos. He lost about 20 points on this deal, besides the two divinends of per cent declared in the meantime.
 He covered about 20, GOO sbafes of sugar today and attempted to even up all of his contracts on Inc exchange with the hope of pulling through solvent. He failed b owever, as all of his orders were ex- plained through other brokers in the ex- tracts himself, but owed about $S0O0 to his fellow brokers when the day closed. Be. sides his stock exchange contracts he dealt largely in privileges and has sold calls for over 15, GOO shares of sugar:
 His losses in sugar in this one deal were over $500, ,000. MT. McKim's friends claim that all of his large operations were not for himself, but that an officer of g promi- nent trust company, who has recently re- signed and gone to Mexico, operated with McKim on joint account and ''laid down" on his broker. This associate of McKim wae said to be short at least 10, ,000 shares of sugar in McKim's office and to have operated heavily on the long side of Louis- vile and Nashville and Missouri Pacific. As both of these stocks have been declin- ing heavily, while sugar has been advanc- ing, McKim was caught on both aides of the market.

WORTH, THE DREssMAKER.
BRIEF HISTORY OF THE MAN WHO MADE
 GOWNS FOR WOMEN.

BRIEF HISTORY OF THE MAN WHO MADE
 GOWNS FOR WOMEN.
 PARIS, March 11.-Charles Frederick Worth, the most celebrated of Parisian deessmakers, who died today, was singu- larly enough native of England, but the only queen in all Europe who never ordered a toilet from him is the one in whose do' minions he was born. He began life as printer, but an instinctive dislike to soiling his hands, as well gs his inborn gifts, led him to exchange his appreu- ticeship for position in the extensive dry goods house of Swan & Edgar in London. There he developed and effected his appre citation of the productions of the French milliners and dressmakers, experimenting the unpacking of every case of pattern gar ments that arrived, and speedily became an authority in all matters connected with siylishness of cut and tastefulness of trim ming.
 But Paris alone afforded field for the full exercise of his talent, and to Paris he accordingly went. He became member of the firm of Gagelin & Camp and imparted to the productions of that house stamp of style and elegance exceeding anything ever before known in the annals of Parisian fashion. The Empress Eugenie, then in the prime of womanhood and the full per- lection of her rincomparable beauty, was de- lighted with the dresses invented for her by the brilliant young Englishman and Worth speedily became the dressmaker par e1cellenC6 10 the imperial court.
 At the first universal exhibition in Paris, in 1855, Worth appeared for the first and only time as an exhibitor. His contribu- tion, a court mantle in white silk entirely covered with elaborate embroidery in gold thread, the artistic pattern of which was designed by himself, carried off the first prize almost without contestation. Since then he has cared nothing for such easily won trIumphs.
 Worth originated number of styles that were destined to revolutionize the world of feminine dress. Amongst these was the short skirted walking costume, with jacket and skirt composed of the same maternal, a fashion which speedily became universal. He was not responsible for the introduce tion of the crinoline, that having origi- hated with the Empress Eugenie. Worth made dresses not only for the royal ladies of Europe, but for the queens of society both in Europe and the United States, and for the queens Of the footlights as well.
 His first royal customer was Donna Maria Da Gloria, queen of Portugal. For years thereafter there was scarcely prin cess-except in the imperial family of the Germans, whose principals forbade them from ever ordering anything to be made in Paris--that did not have @ group of Worth toilettes included in her trous- seau.

TOM FORD PARDONED.
The Instigator of the Death of "Cap" Murphy in New Orleans Eleven Years Ago Now
 at Liberty.

\ NEW ORLEANS, March 11.-Thomas J. | Ford, who was sentenced to the peniten-
 tiary for twenty years on account of his
 connection with the killing of ''Cap'
 Murphy in this city about eleven years ago,
 was pardoned today by Governor Foster,
 the board of pardous having recommended
 it.
 At the time of his conviction Ford was
 recorder of the Second municipal district
 court. There had long been trouble be-
 tween him and Murphy. This feeling was
 the result of jealousy about woman,
 and reDcontre between the
 men was expected at any time.
 On December 1, 1884, Murphy was shot
 down and killed while in charge of street
 gang, and the killing was subsequently,
 proven to be a coldbooded assassin ation,
 in which Ford and number of his fellows
 were engaged. Murphy was not given the
 smallest chance for his life by those who
 shot him, and all the time the bullets were
 being poured in upon him be was tugging at the buttons of his overcoat so that he could get his pistol free and use it.
 Ford and four others were aindicted for murder. On the occasion of the first trial of the accused crooked work was discov- cred in the jury room, and the jury was discharged and mistrial entered by order Of the judge.
 When the accused were tried the second lllub IdbtlCh EOlQ M LII pnJ WCho convicted of murder in the first degree, and Thomas Ford, w. E. Caultield and w. Ii. Buckley were convicted of manslaugb- ter, and on March 10, 1885, were sentenced to the pententiary for twenty years each. Of the five men who were tried tor the killing Tom Ford is the only one who is alive today. Despite all the pressure brought to bear on the case John Murphy and Pat Ford were hanged iI the yard of the old parish prison on Orleans street. Just prior to their execution both men took dose of poison, which had been smuggled to them inside of the prison, but this availed them nothing as they were hanged in almost a dying condition. Tom Ford made desperate effort to save his brother's neck by con- | fessing that he alone killed Captain Mur- phy, but this move was totally without effect. Buckley and CauIaeld were par doned and died a sL ort tune after they were given this clemency. Ford, the in- | stigator of the whole trouble, Is the only man alive today of the five men who were | directly connected with the affair.

THEIR DEMANDS GRANTED

AND 5000 COAL MINERS WILL RETURN TO
 WORK IN PENNSYLVANIA. @
 PITTsBURa, March 1.-Eight thousand river coal miners in this district win start to work tomorrow, the operators having granted the 69 cents per ton to the men. The operators claim, however, that the ad !. vance is not permanent, and that it would not have been granted but for the reason of the favorable condition of the river for shipping coal. The Railroad Coal Oper- ators' association held a meeting today and decided not to pay over 55 cents as long as the New York and Cleveland Gas Coal company pay their miners that prics. The mem bers of-the association who granted the 69 cents demanded by the miners ex- pected that they could furnish coal to the other retail trade and that no coal was be- ing dug for outside shipments.

FIRE AND ITS TERRORS.
Everybody Should Re Prcpared-How Scalded Child was Cured.
 f Ey-a.,, Sbo Roefnu Hpr0Id.l

(F'rom the Boston Herotd)
 Every person who works around fire can save themselves much suffering by keeping at hand good remedy for scaids and burns. When such accidents happen the chances are that something is applied that had better been left of. A person Will often apply cold water to burn and suffer ten. fold in conseauence. Then there are many remedies recommended for burns and scalds that only give temporary relief; they do not prevent the inflammation, blistering and soreness that follow burn, and which often prove so dangerous. No better remedy could possibly be recommended than Perry Davis Pain. Killer. This good old specific, with its record of half century, has no equal, and it is doubtful if it ever will have. True, when first applied it will bring the tears to vour eyes for a moment, but after that the fire leaves, the pain stops, and the troupe is over.
 A case that came under the notice of MT. Charles Carroll, editor and publisher of the Rhode Island Pendulum, at East Green- wich, R. l., is we'll worth citing. He says:
 q witnessed one application of Pain- Killer in our family which was accom- panied with wonderful results. A little child was playing near the kitchen stove, fat. The cook accidentally upset the kettle and the contents were poured down the low neck of the little ones dress. It was time of emergency. Whatever was done had to be done quickly.
 "Mother always believed in Pain Killer, and without a moments hesitation she poured bottlefu1 of itdown the baby'sneck. 1t was heroic treatment, to be sure, but 1t proved wise, for the chld's life was saved, and what was most wonderful, there was not ascar left as reminder of the terrible acci' dent. Pain-Killer certainly kills pain."

A FATAL MALADY.

ASHLAND, Ky, March 11.-Latest re- ports from Floyd county, brought by local travelling salesmen just returned, are not at all encouraging for the early suppress sion of the malady that is raging in the Mud river country. It has been so violent that even the physicians of surrounding towns refuse to visit the victims. In all the death roll exceeded fifty already, and the disease is on tho increase. The dis ease, instead of being smallpox, resembles cholera, except that it chokes the victim to death, beginning in the stomach and ris- ing to the throat. In almost every case it has been fatal, the victims seldom living three days after the attack.
