The valley of Milestone run, trlbu-
tary of Fish creek, in Franklin district,
Marshall county, was the scene OF a
horrible accident, Saturday night, news
of which did not reach Mop~@eville un-
til yesterday morning, there being COM
paratively little communication be-
tween the immediate locality and the
county seat
The victims were A. J. Martin, his
wife and only child, all three being
burned to death in fire which de-
stroyed their home.
The family had evidently been arous-
ed after the fire had made considerable
progress, but too late to save them
selves. The father, unable to find the
door, or, perhaps, cut off from it by
smoke and flame, burst through the
side of the building, and yet was un-
able to reach the outer air, being suf-
located when he had partially drawn
his body through the aperture, and his
charred remains were found in that
position after the fire had burned it.
self out. His wife and child were prob
ably suffocated before the husband,
who may have to long delayed efforts
for his own safety in the attempt to
save the others.
The house occupied by the family was
small affair of rough boards, contain
ing but one large room. 1t had not
lately been occupied, being originally
erected for temporary occupancy by Oh
iver Ryan, whose house was burned
some time ago. After Mr. Ryan left
the building it stood idle until about
week ago, when Mr. Martin moved his
family in. The family was poor, but
stood we'll among those in the neigh
borhood who knew them, the husband
being industrious. Many persons liv-
ing comparatively close by did not
know that the house had been again oc-
cupied, and for this reason, when the
me vas nrst observed by some people
passing along the road, they paid little
attention to it, as the building was not
of great value.
When those who saw the building on
fire passed a farm house on the road,
they were informed that the Martin
family was living in the structure, and
it was not until then that persons hur-
ried to the building, which by that time
had about burned up. Nothing could
be seen of the family outside the build
ing, but a very short search resulted
in the discovery of the horribly burned
remains of the entire family in the
ruins. The mother and child had left
their bed, but had probably been suffo-
Gated in a moment or two thereafter.
The husband, unable to find the door in
the smoke, or finding it impossible to
get to it, had burst a board off the side
of the house, and his body was discov-
cred in the opening thus made, being
partially outside the wall of the build
ing.
The cause of the fire will never be
known, as it must have made great
headway before it was even discovered
by the doomed family.
The accident is one of the most shock
ing ever known in Marshall county, and
it is a wonder that it was not made
known before yesterday.

Cheap Mining.

The management of a gold mine in
this day, says the Boston Globe, is little
short of an exact science, applied with
rigid economy. With the old wasttful
and expensive methods, it is safe to say
that half the mines now in operation
would not be in existence.
Along with improved methods has
come a steady fall in the price of every
thing that enters into the working of a
mine. There are very few great pro
ducers az the present time which do not
have ready access TO the railroads with
cheap transportation charges and cheap
supplies
In the good old days teaming was
wont 10 bring $40 a day; now it will not
bring over 81. Candles which used to
cost $40 box, now cost less than S5.
Giaat powder which used to sell at ST
pound, now brings II or IA cents. The
price of fuse per thousand feet has
dropped from $50 to SO, iron from 20
cents pound to 3 cents, steel from 40
cents to g cents, shovels and picks from
$a.5c and $3.75to ST. each.
And smelling charges have been re-
duced from $50 and SOS to from $40 to

Sr4. In Colorado oil is now largely
used for this purpose, and where it once
cost So a gallon it now brings IS to 20
cents.
The opening of the coal fields of Col
orado, Wyoming and other western
states has cheapened the price Of coal
in almost equal degree.
Averaging this striking fall in prices,
a western mining authority computes
that S27 will buy the same mining sup
plies which cost 500 in 1870. Mean
while an ounce of gold is worth in coin
S2o.67, just as it was twenty-five year
ago. And, for that matter just as it was
half a century ago.
Cyanide, COLONIZATION, bromination
and other similar processes have taken
the place of the old and extravagantlv
wasteful devices, and ores that yielded
SIS to $40 ton by amalgamation, now
double the amount while the
expense of treatment IS far less.

FIELD AND THE KISS.
How Genial Gene Described Emma

Eugene Field was a great admirer of
Emma Abbott, and many have given
him the credit for discovering" her,
says the Hartford Times He always
said nice things about her whenever
She came, wrote verse to the fair Emma
in Kansas City, when Field was then
engaged on the Times, and "jollied" the
company as only humorist can.
In January, 1880, Emma Abbott played
weeks engagement. One night she
gave paul and Virginia" William
Castle was the tenor. In this opera
occurs a kissing scene and the manner
in which Emma passed through the
ordeal delighted the heart of Mr.. Field
so much that the following Sunday, as
part of four-column tribute to the
singer, appeared this expansive descrip-
ton:
"Aha, that kiss-that long, low, Ian
gushing, limpid, liquid, lingering kiss
Twas not tender kiss, nor a studied
kiss, nor an artistic kiss, nor fervent
kiss, nor boisterous kiss, nor a paroxys-
NAL kiss, nor nervous kiss, nor a fra
ternal kiss, nor a gingerly kiss. nor a
ditfuse kiss, nor a concentrated kiss, nor
a dithdent kiss, nor popgun kiss-'twas
a calm, holy, ecstatic outbreaking of two
fond and trusting hearts, an informing
ling of two gentle souls sanctified by
love, communion of the intangible by
tangible means, blending of earth with
heaven, in which the latter had mani
fest preponderance. Twas such kiss
as Troilus, stealing bv night into the
Trojan camp, might fain have breathed
