Chicago, March Enforcement
p0stofiice inspectors have arrested A.
Clark and Edward Robinson on a
charge of using the mails with intent
to defraud. They claimed to publish
the ladies Gem Monthly, and have
sent out circulars all over the country
Offering a gold watch as prize for the
solution of rebus. They would then
demand 81 for the package and sending
out the watch.
The officials claim that no such pub
lication as the Ladies' Gem Monthly
has ever existed, and that no prize
watches Were ever sent. They found in
the rooms of Clark and Robinson the
addresses of about 10000 women in all
parts of the country, and believe an eX-
tensive business was carried on by the
two men,

Few Lives Were Saved.

A few lives Were saved because of the
hour at which the explosion occurred.
The miners quit work at six o'clock,
and it is customary for them TO be near
the entrance and come out Just as the
whistle blows. A number of men had
come out, and some had just left the
entrance to the mine slope, away from
the working tunnel, when the explo-
sion occurred, thus escaping death
Ezekiel Baker and his father and a
brother came out five minutes before
the explosion. Ezekiel Baker was hit
by the timber which killed the Craw-
ford boy, but he was not much hurt.
John Hanna, a carpenter. had just
come out and was talking to Cox and
Bruce when the two latter We're killed,
he being burned slightly. The engi-
neer and weigher We're the only persons
in the power-house not killed. The en-
gineer was blown through the window,
but was not seriously hurt, and the
weigher was only slightly burned.
The explosion shook the whole town.
and women and children ran into the
streets, crying for their husbands and
fathers. 1t is supposed to have come
from Il blast setting fire to dust, since
the mine was supposed to be free from
gas and was well ventilated.
The Rocky Mountain collieries. gen.
orally designated as the Central Pacific
mines. have two mines, Nos. and 6,
with 1-mile face, with 150-feet pillars
separating them. This leaves No. 6 un-
harmed, but deprives the company of
nr ita
This is the third disastrous explosion
In this vicinity. In 1881, No. 2 mine,
Rocky Mountain, exploded, killing
thlrty-six Chinese and four white men.
In the spring of 1856, in the Union Pa
cihc mine, No. 4, thirty-six men were
killed.

San Francisco. March 2l.-The EX-
aminer announces the discovery of q
granddaughter of James G. Fair who
