THE BLESSER"
Swindled The Colored People of
Selma, Ala.

Two weeks ago two Lynch
burg (Va.) co1ored people, Civ
ing their names as Moses and
Mary Reed, landed in Selma,
Alabama. They were fashion,
ably dressed, and by lavish dis
play of money, obtained access
to the homes of the colored "1our
hundred"
The woman claimed to be
sent from heaven to bless the
negro race. Two days after her
arrival the negroes f1ocked to her
with their money and jewely
and to be blessed. She returned
them packages said TO contain
their money and valuables, with
instructions to dream on the
package nine nights before
opening. One Of the women
opened her package and found
that it contained nothing but
mud. She demanded the re-
turn of of SIS given "The Bless
er," as she was called, and got it
There was a general opening
of packages and the couple left
Selma All hour after their du>
plicity was discovered. They
were arrested in Lynchburg and
part of the jewelry and $500 in
money recovered. Their trial
was concluded before the Police
Court, and fines amounting tc
$500 were imposed. The man
paid his fine of $500 and said he
would return home and raise the
funds to pay his wife out. Hun
dreds of negroes were in constant
attendance upon the trial anc
the greatest excitement pre-
vailed.

His Maiden Speech.

The rising young politician
had prepared an elaborate
speech for the occasion. He
rose in response to loud calls for
him and felt in his inside pocket
for the manuscript. 1t was gone.
1t had slipped through a hole i'll

The situation was a terrible
one. but the selfpossession of the
rising young politician did not
forsake him. Letting his hand
remain in the breast of his coat
he looked fearlessly out over the
assembly.
"My fellow citizens" he said,
"I have no-no words in which
to express my thanks for the
honor you have done me in Sc
lecting me as one of your stand
ard bearers in this campaign
and l will simply ask you to join
me-
He was interrupted by deafen'
ing cheers, in which the Other
orators on the platform heartily

The situation was still more
terrible. He had intended
merely to propose three cheers
for the ticket, but the audience
had jumped hastily to the con
clusion that he was extending
an invitation of another kind.
Still he did not lose his head
II see, fellow citizens, he re
sumed with a smile, as soon a

ing crushed by the falling 1ooi'
the possibility of their being
alive for any length of time IN a
gaseous mine is remote.
The work of rescue was
prompt and efficient. The best
miners who remained on the
surface joined voluntarily in the
hazardous task-for hazardous it
certainly was. There was the
constant menace Of another fall
or an explosion of fire lamp.
Special efforts were made to keep
the air fan in good order, so If,
by any chance, the men were
alive they should have fresh air
to breathe. The blocked slope
and gangways held out little hope
of the air reaching them. The
rescuers were divided into three
relays Of forty men each, under
the direction of Mine Foreman
Alexander McMullin. The men
worked as they had never before
in clearing away the debris IN
the slope with the energy that
only Springs of the knowledge of
dear lives behind it. They made
good headway, considering the
difficulties they had to contend
with.
Young Sheridan, the water
boy, who had such narrow es>
cape, tells thrilling tale of the
disaster. He thinks there was
All explosion of gas, which blew
down the newly erected tlmb bers
and caused the cave in. When
he left the mine to 60 out the
slope and get water those inside
had no apprehension of a fall or
"squeeze. Everything was
working mic ly and the men ex>
pected to be out of the mine
within another hour.
THE report of the fall" says
the boy, "was like a hundred
cannon, and the force of it blew
me fully twenty-five feet. l was
hurled against the side of the
slope A piece of rock hit me
back of the head, the wound
commenced to bleed and then /
tainted"
Richards and Gill, who were
on their way after timber, concur
with Sheriday that the concus-
sion was terrific. They were
knocked off their feet and banged
against some 5rattice work. They
cannot conceive the possibility
of anybody being i'll the wreck
and escaping with his life

MINERS LIVES LOST.
HUNDRED VICTIMS OF a

SEARCHING FOR THE DEAD,
THE MEN WERE REPAIRING y
PORTION OF IT WHICH WAS
IN A DANGEROUS COM
DITION.

yYHlLE ninety miners
HlAs! and other employees,
making a total of one hundred
men, were at work in the Red
Ash vein of the Twin shaft, at
Pittston, Penn, about 3 o'clock
Sunday morning, the roof caved
in, and it is believed that all of
the men perished. About forty

The men were at work prop
ping up the roof when the fall
occurred. The alarm was lrn>
mediately given by the ringing
of the fire bells, and rescuers
were put to work without delay.
More than two thirds of the vic
TINS were married men, and
leave families.
About two weeks ago the Sur
veyors reported to General Super
intendent Law that the mine
was "squeezing," and that unless
steps were Immediately taken to
tim Der it a cave i'll or fall might
be looked for. Superintendent
Law at once put number OF
tim mbcrmen at work to brace the
falling roof. The "sqeeze" con-
tinued, however, and the situa-
ton became alarming. A slight
fall occurred, and the men who
were at work had to retreat be-
fore it. A consultation of mine
officials was then held, and it
was decided that heroic measures
would have to be resorted to
prevent heavy damage to the
mine.
Inside Superintendent Langan
gave instructions that the most
experienced miners should be
secured, and that the party would
90 down the mine at 7 o'clock.
Expert timber men put in an ap-
pearance at that hour, and were
soon lowered into the workings.
They made their way to Red
! Ash vein, 1900 feet down the
slope. The work of propplng
proceeded rapidly until II
o'clock when another fall occurr>
ed. 1t made a low. rumbllng
noise, and the flying coal and
debris drove the men back.
Then the "squeeze" ceased
again, and the men thought it
was safe to resume work. They
labored on until 500 o'clock,
when, it is supposed, the roof
fell in without warning, making
a tremendous crash.
1t is supposed, however, that
the men were not all together
but some near the slope, and
these probably ran up the incline
when the fall occurred. This Is
the only way the finding ofMayo'
Langan's body in the slope Cal
be accounted for. If the ner
= received any warning, they hac
time to run up the slope, but no
to any great distance. The tall

slope and the adjoining gang
ways, completely shutting OFT al
avenues Of escape.

Just What's Needed

Exclaims thousands Of people who
have taken Hoods Sarsaparilla at this
season of the year, and who have noted
the success of the medicine in giving
them relief from that tired feeling,
waning appetite and state of extreme
exhaustion after the close confinement
of a long winter season, the busy time
attendant upon a large and pressing
business during the spring months and
with vacation time yet some weeks
distant. 1t is then that the building up
powers of Hoods Sarsaparilla are fully
appreciated. 1t seems perfectly adapt
ed to overcome that prostration caused
by change of season, climate or life,
and while it tones and sustains the sys-
tenn, it purifes and vitalizes the blood.

WHEHL GIRLS
PUNISH A MAN.
THEY DETECT HIM SCATTERING
TACKS IN THE ROAD AND
GIVE HIM A GOOD
TROUNCING.

The bitter experience of young
Thornton Giles, of Spoford, n,
Y, who was soundly drubbed a
few days ago by Misses Mary
aud Alice Snow, for streWlng
tacks in their cycle path, has
convinced him that the new wo-
man is master of the situation.
Young Giles is opposed to
lady cyclists, and less than a
month ago discontinued his at
tentions to Miss Mary Snow be-
cause the young woman persist
ed in riding a wheel contrary to
his wishes. Since then Giles
has been sullen and morose.
When in company with his as
sociates he repeatedly declared
that the sight of woman on a
wheel was a disgraceful one, and
no young man should encourage
it. Miss Mary Snow often heard
what her former sweetheart said
about her bicycling habit, and
she and her young sister, Alice
sought to taunt the young man
by appearing on their wheel:
more frequently than usual.
While taking their favorlte
spin Giles was seen emerging
from the woods at the roadside
some distance ahead of them
and, walking briskly Ill the
centre of tile road, scatter some
thing upon the ground. He thel
seated himself upon a rock te
view the young woman as they
passed. Just before reaching
the point where Giles made hi:
appearance the fair cycllst:
turned to one side Of the roat
and soon dismounted.
Quantities of carpet tack
were scattered about, ready t(
puncture the tires of their wheels
had they not halted when the,
did.
"Alice," said Mary to her sis
ter, "Thornton Giles is. th'
author of this; let us teach him
lesson"
Without further delay the tw'
girls seized clubs at the roadsld
and beat young Giles until h
begged for mercy. A wagon ap
p.ared, but this did not dete

ishment until Giles had begge'

4 THRILLING EPISODE.
YOUNG LADY LOCKED IN AN
AIR-TIGHT VAULT.
SAVED BY HER LOVER.
He Speeds to a Departing Train
for her Father. The Girl
Revived.

saR thrilling episode is res
Ak ported from Barbours-
vile, Kentucky, which would be
deemed almost improbable if
seen on the stage, but the occur
renee verifes the old adage that
Truth is stronger than fiction.
The fair heroine, Miss Rosa
Candiel, daughter of prominent
local banker accompanied by her
afhanced and others, visited her
fathers bank, and while there
the party examined the safety
vault. The young man, Mr.. J.
H. Bailey, stepped i'll, the door
was closed and he stood within
the vault. In a moment the door
was opened and he emerged.
Then the yonng lady stepped in,
the door was closed, but by some
unfortunate movement the com
bination lock was touched and
she was imprisoned.
A safe repairer near him who
had fixed the lock, was appealed
to, but he had forgotten the conf
bination and could render no as
sistance. The only person hav>
ing the combination was the
young lady's father, and he was
at that moment mile away,
stepping aboard a railway train
to leave ON trip.
There was but one hope. Mr..
Bailey jumped on bicycle and,
with a loved ones lite hanging
OH his speed, he flew to the rail
way station with the wings OF
desperation. He made the mile
to the train in a moment almost
although to the rider and the
other anxious ones it seemed All
age. The train was pulling Out
as he rushed up and excited,
informed the father of his daugh
ters peril.
The father rushed back, anC
then, trembling with tear anc
apprehension, read the combina
tion as the safe repairer turned
the knob. The first trial wa.
fruitless, the doors refused tc
open. Then it was tried again
and this time the doors yielded
The young lady lay inside appar
e1.tly dead, but after some time
was revived by medical men.
Miss Candiel was imprisoned
for forty minutes, and stated
when revived, that she heard the
efforts to release her, but the ali
grew constantly more suffocatint
and when the fathers first at
tempt to open the vault she los

until she saw the anxious face
of friends bending over her.
There is no doubt that MI
