Captain Walsh is making no boasts or in

position the Omahogs will take this year
His only declaration so far is that the team
will finish higher than it did last year.
This he can probably accomplish and keep
his suspenders intact at that, but he wants
to be on the safe side and will have nothing
to say concerning the pennant until he has
had his men lined up a few times, then he

shots in the country, was in the city yester-
frozen in the northern part Of this state this
winter than has been destroyed in this way

were found huddled together and frozen hard
as rocks. En- passant, while shooting last
fall, Mr.. Sanford killed an albino quail, which
he had the Gilbert Bros. mount, and of
which he is very proud, as it is the only
white quail he has ever met with in his

BURNING SIX WEEKS.

Heavy Loss Caused by Mine Fire ut
Hazelton, Pa.
HAzELroN, Pa, March 1.-The
worst mine fire in the anthracite region
is now raging in the Hazelton slope Of
the Lehign Valley Coal company.
When the fire broke out six weeks ago
it was at first thought to be Of little
consequence. The slope was closed
shortly afterwards. Since then hun
dreds of thousands of dollars have been
spent in efforts to subdue the flames.
The chances of getting the fire out in
the next six weeks are dubious and the
probable loss Of the company cannot be
estimated. The mlne was the deepest
operated by the company and was
One of the Most Valuable,
employing some LOO men. The de-
struction of this great colliery is not
alone threatened now, but those adjoin-
ing it is imperilled. The subterranean
openings connect the Hazelton mines
with three other valuable coal proper
ties, and the effects Of the fire are now
being fslt there. At this Laurel Hill
colliery The mules have already been
hoisted from the mines owing to the
high water and to keep that place from
drowning out every effort is now being
exerted. To remove the water alone
from the mine will cost snug fortune,
and it is estimated that before the out
break itself shall have been overcome
81 ,OOO, 900 will have to be expended.

in a Colliery at Hazel

DENVER, March ia special to The
Rocky Mountain News from White
Oak, N. M, says: At o'clock a. m. a
fire broke out in the change room Of the
hoist house of the Old Abe mine and in
a few minutes the structure, a large and
well built one, was mass of flames. 1t
was completely destroyed, together with
the woM and smith shops. The mill 80
feet away escaped without damage.
The woodwork Of the shaft was burned
out and the hoisting machinery de-
stroyed. The damage runs high up into
the thousands, but the most distressing
feature is that nine men are imprisoned
in the dark depths whose fate is un-
known. There is little ground for hope
that they have escaped suffocation. It
will not be possible to enter the mine to
search for them for some time. Rescu.
ing parties have been unable as yet to
get down further than the third level
by the air shaft. The smoke and gases
from the charred wood of the hoist shaft
has penetrated the upper levels, and it
is impossible to pass them.

Rand, the Chicago operator, at whose

ire over 700 men employed, granted the
demands Of his men for so cents per

Asall coal mined at these mines is

kegs, the miners feel they have gained
q big point. J. M. Rlshar, who en-
ploys 200 men at his mine on the Mo-
nongahela river, also granted the in
crease this morning and work at the
mines was resumed. The scale COM
mittee of the Operators association held
2 meeting to discuss the situation. No
report Of the proceedings was given out.
but it was learned that they decided to
call general meeting OF the association
soon. This is also regarded as an evil
dence Of weakness on the part of the
employers. AT present there are about
1000 miners in the district working at
the price, SO cents per ton, for which the
strike was order ed.

bounded by Madison, Adams, Michigan

completely destroyed by fire between 1

o'clock when loud explosion that blew
out part Of the east wing of the build
ing startled the few pedestrians who
happened to be on the street. A
moment later fire burst forth from the
heart Of the structure and spread so
rapidly that before an alarm could be
given the main portion Of the building
was doomed. The explosion probably
was caused by chemicals in the labora-
tory, The loss is estimated at $3.50, 900.

WASHINGTON, March 11.-Under a
provision adopted as an amendment to
the sundry civil bill the military prison
ut Fort Leavenworth, Kan, is to be
transferred from the jurisdiction of tho
secretary of war to that Of the depart
ment of justice. After July 1 the
prison will be q federal institution for
the confinement Of all prisoners con-
victed to serve q sentence in the United
States courts. The military prisoners
convicted by court martial will, after
July /, be confined at the post
where the trial was held, ex-
cept in aggravated cases, when
they will also be sent to Leavenworth.
The change is to be tried as all expert
ment and, if it works we'll, other federal
prisons will be erected. 1t will require
vast additions to the present plant to
make it sufficiently large to confine all
the United States prisoners, and this
will not be attempted ut the present
time. The position of superintendent
will be an important office, and there
are several applicants in the field
already. Among them is Albert Gar
vim, now of Kansas. He has strong in
dorsements for the position from that
state and from Minnesota and Illinois.
Mr.. Garvin is known throughout the

viii BE Able to Demonstrate 1t.
I have hopes of doing that. My theory
now is just as it has been, that the
deep, id atrocity Of this murder
forces the public demand for victim,
and that slight evidence has only been
demanded to convict any man under
suspicion, unless such man could ad-
vanc, some affirmative defense, which
would clear up the as yet mysterious
mannerisms of this murder. Harry's
conduct at receiving the verdict is q
startling confirmation Of his innocence. I"
The case now. he says, will take the
usual course. He will move for new
trial. and if refused, will carry the mat
ter to the supreme court. In case new
trial is ordered, an effort will be made
to secure the trial in some country dis
trict, where the people have not had free
