Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Carbondale, March 1l.-Anthony
Golden, of the West Side, has recently
been employed In No. l slope with his
partner, Anthony Horan. on account
of the recent settling of the lower lifts
of the workings, Golden and Horan
were given chamber in the drift. on
Saturday morning Mr.. Golden became
uncomfortably warm while at work
and removed all of his outer garments.
He got through his work about 10
O'Clock on Saturday morning and leav-
ing his coat in his chamber made a
visit TO a neighboring working, intend
ing to soon return and take his coat
and go home, but he did not return.
Not being familiar with his new place
Golden lost his way, and as he tried to
find his way back he seemed to go
further in the wrong direction.
He finally wandered into some old
workings, where no human being had
been in years. The rails had long
been removed and the few remaining
props We're fast rotting away. The
lost miner wandered on through the
deserted caverns until nearly exhaust

his undershirt and trousers, and he
soon became chilled through.
The Rcscuins Party.
Upon his failure to return home at
the usual hour Mr. Golden's friends
became alarmed and a searching party
was at once organized. The rescue
party, under the leadership of John
Cannon, secured the deserted cham
bers for their missing comrade.
After many anxious hours of search
ing their efforts were rewarded. The
unfortunate man was found about
o'clock on Sunday morning, and was
nearly frozen to death when the
rescuing party reached him. He was
wrapped in a big coat and conveyed
to place of safety, and is now appar-
emily no worse for his night in the de-

A SEA CAPTAK'S STORY. What a Grand Old Sailor Told 8
 Press Reporter. HIS SECRET OF LIFE
What He Has Seen and Found in Nearly Every Port of the Globe and the Value He
 Has Received.

l met happy old sea captain at the Barge office yesterday, and had pleasant and profitable conversation with him. l think he had traveied to all quarters ofthe globe, for be mentioned Sitka, Stockholm, l, and Rio Janeiro, in addition to all the principal seaport cities of the world.
 If one wanted to find healthy, ruddy specimen of humanity, this captain fur nished it to such an extent that l remarked about it. He laughed and said:
 ''Bu. you should have seen me number of years ago. Why, even pale-faced cabin boy looked healthy compared to me then. Commanding a ship is no easy task, and suffered from rheumatism, debility, aud, 1t seemed to me, many of the ills that we hear so much about. 1 won' tell you all tue details, but will say that for the last nine years 1 have been, not only healthy, but robust, and believe it is all due to one cause.
 : Naturally was interested and urged him to tell me his secret. Speaking very de- libsrately, be said: E.
 CT nave found that by care and the use sof. just the right thing I can preserve my health and prolong my lite almost lndeh-- nitey. Indeed, I think l have discovered the secret. No matter where go l carry it with me, and tell you that in whatever port stop can always find it. Do you ask me what it is? will tell you. War ner's Safs Cure-nothing else. 1 have pur- chased 1t in the Mediterranean, in Aus trdlia, and, in fact, in every quarter of the globe, so 1t must be that people all over the world are learning, as nave learned, how valuable it is. Now, don't think am telling you this to advertise the medicine, for1 don't know the people who make 1t, and, indeed, don't know what it is made of; out do know that for broken down men, weak women and, believe, sickly children, it is the grandest discovery of modern times, and don't hesitate to say so.N VI left the old captain, whose ship was about to sail, much impressed by his sim cerity and earnestness. Certainly he is a living example of what the world calls heath. and hence what most of us consider happiness.

A FATAL TEASING.

NEW ORLEANS, March ;8 A negro shot two brothers named Pattingil today killing one and fatally injuriug the other, for a most trivial cause. The young men had a propensity for teasing every one. Frank Pattingill was in the second story of the factory where the young men were em- ployed looking out of the window when he saw the negro beneath on the pavement at work moving barrels for the house in the next door which he was employed with. , h spirit of fun the young men threw down few chips or splinters upon the ne- gro's head. The negro looked up and ap- piled vile epithet 10 Pattineill and made other threats. Harry PattingiIl then said to his brother that he ought not 10 take that. The boys then went down stairs, probably to punish him for his insolence. On reaching the banquet the negro drew a revolver and began hring, striking Frank in the left breast, killing him almost in- stantiy, and shooting Harry in the breast near the right arm. The negro was ar- rested,

 "We thank Thee that the congress of the nation has departed and that many of those who represented the people in public office will no more ~represent them. We pray that You will forgive them for the damage they have done this natiou.''
 Democrats may find fault with this, but it is lot quite as strong as the prayer of the federal parson down in Maine, who, during the war of 1872 addressed the throne of grace thus: ''Thou has bid us pray for oar enemies, o Lord, and therefore we be- seech Thee to deal tenderly with Thy ser ant, James Madison, the President ofthe United States, if he be not beyond the reach ot Thy mercies.''

HEROINE OF THE TELEGRAPH
How a French Girl Outwitted the Ger
 mnns During the War of 1870.

In the Franco German war of 1870 tho Uhlans in particular played havoc with the French wires On arriving at vil- lage they would ride up to the telegraph office, cut the connections and carry off the apparatus CT else employ it to deceive the enemy. They were outwitted, how ; aver, on one, occasion, and by woman. Mile. Juliette Dodu, girl of IS, was di- Sfector of the telegraph station at Pithi syvierss where she lived with her mother,- ' when the Prussans entered tho town. They took possession of the station, and, turning out tho two women, confined them to their dwelling on higher floor It happened that tho wire from the office in running to the pole on tho roof passed by the door of tho girls room, and she. conceived the idea of tapping tho Prussian messages. She had contriyed to keep telegraph instrument, and by means of derivation from the wiro was able to carry out her purpose Important telegrams were thus obtained and secretly commu- nicated to tho subprefect of the town, who conveyed them across tho Prussian lines to the French commander.
 Mile. Dodu and her mother were both arrested, and the proofs of their guilt were soon discovered They were brought be- fore a court martial and speedily con- demned to death, but the sentence had to be confirmed by the commander of the corps d'armee, Prince Frederick Charles, who, having spoken with Mile. Dodu on several occasions, desired her to be pro- {. duceds He inquired her motive in com hitting so grave a breach of what arc called tho Jaws of war" The girl re- piled, "Je suis Francaise" q am French woman).
 The prince confirmed the sentence, but, happily, before it was executed the news of the armistice arrived and saved her life In 1878 the tclegraphic heroine was in charge of the postoifice at Montreuil, near Vincennes, and the 18th of August she was decorated with tho legion of honor by Marshal MacMahon, president of the re- public Philadelphia Times.

Bathed In Champagne.

The famous Cliff House at San Fran cisco.did its greatest business during the big bonanza days when spectators who had made thousand or so on sudden turn of the mining stock market devoted a share of the day's profits to luxurious spread on the Cliffs yeranda. Probably the most reckless waste of money ever seen at this place was made by an opium smuggler and dealer in Chinese return certificates named Whaley. After an ex- pensive lunch he insisted on a champagne bath, and despite the protest of his com panions he had 300 bottles of the best wine broken into tub and then dispoited iuvthe costly bath. h.-Chicago Herald.

NO BONDS TODAY.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3O.-It is stated
authoritatively that there will be no an

is no reason, however, to change the pre-
viously expressed statement that bond
issue is considered almost certain in the
very near future.
CHICAGO, Dec. 80 "A Washington

Republicans in the Senate Anxious to
Pass Tariff and Bond Bills.

Republicans in the Senate Anxious to
Pass Tariff and Bond Bills.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3d. Chairman
Dlngley of the ways and means commit
tee was in the. senate today making
canvass of the leaders to see what pros
pect there was of action on the two bills
that passed the house last week.
He finds that the Republicans seem to
be quite anxions to pass the tariff bill at
an early date. Among others with whom
he conferred were Senators Morrill, and
Allison of the finance committee.
Another authority says:
The prospect of the Republican bills
for the relief of the treasury becoming
law is very poor. Just now the chances
are against anything reaching the presi-
dent for either his veto or approval.
One factor that will be more effective
than the opposition of Republicans in
defeating the bond bill is letter which
Secretary Carlisle has written to Chair
man Dingley.
The purport of this letter is that Mr..
Cleveland and his advisers do not want
the bill now before the house. They
want ''gold' bond. and do not want to
be limited as to its sale. 1t is a prac-
tical veto of the bill before it reaches
the White house.
1t is claimed that such a bond as is
named in the present bill could not be
sold at par, inasmuch as the per cent
30-year gold bonds are now selling at
116, which nets the purchaser over per
cent The secretary very pertinently
asks how it is possible to float a ''coin"
per cent bond when "gold" is selling

War Talk is,-Labor for Peace.
NEW YORK, Dec 3Q-Before leaving
for Indianapolis, the headquarters of the
American Federation of Labor, Samuel
Gompers made farewell speech to the
Central Labor Union today, in which he
denounced policy looking to war be-
tween the United States and England.
He said:
"Those who are stirring up this war
scare are covering themselves with a
mask of patriotism behind which is hid
den nothing but bluster and pomposity.
Around, below and beneath this
eo-called patriotism is a scheme to
enlarge the army and the navy. The
true patriot is not looking for war. He
wants peace. The workers of our country
have no quarrel with the workers of
other countries. They will not be swayed
by political schemers,
Labor is never for war; it is always
for peace. 1t is on the side of justice
and humanity"
