The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1895-09-12

November and May have met at Man
chester, Tenn, in the bonds of wedock,
November because he was only GO and
she Is. A man of 60 years of age has
married a girl Is years of age. We
came very near saying the "holy" bonds
of wedlock but it is not very possible
that a girl of Is could or would fall in
love with man of 60, and there could
have been nothing holy about the mar
riage.
"A mature woman anywhere under 80
years of age might fall in love with n
man of GO, but not young girl. The
latter are influenced solely by personal
charms, while there are other charms for
mature woman. The rosy check and
the raven hair of youth lose their charms
10 n woman, and she looks for manly
virtues, polished manners, fine intel
lect and established character, which
can sometimes be found in n man of GO
years of age. The poet, however,
makes no distinction in ages when he
writes:
A man who has tongue is no man.
If with that tongue he cannot win wo-
man." .p4S

THE NINE DISASTER

Houghton, Mich, Sept. 9.-The stu
alton at Osceola copper mine remains
about the same as on Sunday. Captain
Edwards and couple of men went
down as far as the second level in shaft
No 1 Sunday night to make some repairs
to the pump. EVERYTHING appeared to be
clear there, but after the men had been
working for a while they suddenly felt
themselves being overcome by gas and
started up. One of the men became ex-
hausted before going far, and had to be
helped to the surface by his companions:
Captain Edwards with small gang of
men went down shaft No. 8 this morn
ing and succeeded in getting within 2OO
feet of No. 4. They were afraid to 60
further, owing to the gas, and returned
to the surface. After this attempt had
been made the men who had relatives
and others having friends in the mine
went to Captain Parnell with the re-
quest that shaft No. be uncovered
They had no hopes of the men alive,
but were anxious to recover the bodies.
Captain Parnell then called all the miners
together and made a long address to
them, saying that it would give the fire
draft and that there was timber enough
in the mines to keep the fire up for
weeks. and that this action would cause
much longer delay in recovering the
bodies. He is of the opinion that the
best plan is to cover every draft until
about Wednesday, which would no doubt
smother the fire, then open shafts Nos. 1
and 5 and create a draft and draw the
gas out of the mine. He said positively
that he would not under any considers
ton, open shaft No. 3. He however
consented to batten up hatch No. 8 and
open shafts Nos. and 2, which latter
two have been closed with traps. and
leave it thus for about five hours with the
endeavor to create draft and draw the
gas from away from No. in the vicinity
of which it is thought most of the bodies
will be found.

FRAKER IDENTIFIED.

Richmond, Mo-, Sept. 9.-Mrs. N. J.
McCruder of Atlanta, Mo-, sister of
DR.. Fraker, has arrived here, and if
any doubt existed as to the identity of
the man now in Jail it has been dis
PEELED by his meeting with her. She
recognized him at once. The meeting
was very affecting one.
After the meeting Mrs. McCruder was
seen at her hotel and said the prisoner
was DR.. Fraker beyond a doubt.

THE MINERS DOOMED.

Calumet, Mich, Sept. 9.-Ten miners
went down the southernmost shaft of
the Osceola mine today. They reached
the twenty fourth level and made theil
way to within $50 feet of the burning
shaft, when they were forced to return
on account of the deadly gas.
Another party went down No. shaft
to a depth of $50 feet, but were also
compelled to run back.
The entire mine is full of smoke anC
gas and all hope of finding any of the
entombed miners alive is given up. Il
is thought the fire is out but it will be
several days before the mine will be clea>
of smoke.

DR.. Gregory tells how the news was
first brought to him by messenger from
the Rev. Mr.. Phillips, and how, when he
hundreds of people already gathered
there.
1.-THE district magistrate, Wong, told
me he would Immediately go to Hwa-
sang" narrated DR.. Gregory, taking
some sixty soldiers with him, and at
p. m. l left under an escort of IL SOL
diers and arrived at Hwasang at s p. IN.
to find that nine adults, all English sub
jects, had been murdered and that all
alive at Hwasang had been severely in
Jured. l at once set to work to make
the injured as comfortable as possible
and found my task was indeed a difficult
one."
After describing the extent and nature
of the injuries inflicted, DR.. Gregory
said:
The massacre was undoubtedly COM
mitted by some members of the secret
society known as the vegetarians, and
society known as the Vegetarians, and
ly planned and executed, by party of
80 men armed with spears and swords,
and showing emphatic evidences of mill
tary discipline. The members of the
mission band had no suspicion of the at
tack. which was swift and terrible, the
whole affair being over in much less time
than it takes me to write it,"
Though DR.. Gregory does not hold the
native officials responsible as having been
directly concerned in the massacre, he
believes they had knowledge that it was
contemplated, but remained inactive,
owing to their dread of the Vegetarians'
power. For the same reason he says
that unless Great Britain and America
assert themselves with emphasis the mat
ter will go no further than formal in
quiry that will ascertain nothing more
than the horrible facts, already too well
known, and perhaps an expression of
official regret, small PREPARATION for the
Christian lives lost.

YOUNG MEN AFFECTED.

Dr. Muir, of the Street Baptist Church,
spoke in the interest of the young men
affected. He thought il wise to send a
committee TO the governor of Virginia to
arouse the chivalry of his nature on behalf
of the young men from all parts of the
nation, for this has TO do with the whole
nation.
The Southern Baptists had noticed O
great many of the young men from the
South going to TIE races, so it did not only
affect the boys at hCme. He agTssd with
Judge Kimball that pushing the evil away
ouly pushed it to the door of some one else.
Mr. Warner said that he'Iad Ia Siced at
the track yesterday young man recently
a government clerk who was there in
company with prostitute. He heard also
of young man, teacher in d Sunday
scool of this city who was a regular
attendant at the races. He also saw the
sheriff of Alexandria county there in
familiar converse with a brother of one of
the proprietoTs of the Alexander Island
track. The deputy sheriff was also there.
Mr.. Douglas, candidate for the posi-
ton of commonw ealth attorney of Alex
andria county, was called on. He said
the course of proceedings was different
from what he lad expected. He felt that
he was being watched for what he might
say, and would be careful. Yet he would
be bold enough to speak what he felt
like saying. He was not here to apologize
for the racetracks, but be should correct
some errors which had been made.

see that these evils are corrected. he did
