HAND PRINT On THE WALL.
An Impress Made by Al Convict which
Has Never Disnp nppeared.

Mauch Chunk. Pa. Feb. 3.-Upon the wall
OF cell No. in the Carbon county jail in
this city appears the imprint of hand.
The strange story connected with its ap-
pearancc is vouchci for by many OF the lead
ing citizens OF MauCh Chunk and the sur
rounding towns.
In 1877 Alex Campbell. one of the con-
viCted MOIlie Maguircs. was confined in
this cell. He stoutiy protested his inno-
cence. but was convicted through the con
fessiOns OF several of his comrades in crime
on the night before lie eXpatiated his
crimes upon the gallows he stood upon his
narrow cot, and, placing his left hand upon
the wall. IL alleged To have said that If he
was innocent the impression of his hand
would remain upon the wall forever.
No one paid any attention to the remark
a the time. hut IL has been brought before
the public in a vivid manner many times
since that memorable night. Although
nineteen years have passed. the imprint still
remains upon the wall just as clearly as
though II was made there yesterday. al
though many attempts have been made To
obliterate the marks.
The walls have been wlIitewashcd many
times, but the lime is hardly dry until The
hands impression can DE plainly seen. al
though all other defects upon the wall may
b- covered 10y the application Of lime. The
strange phcgiomenon has been viewed by
throng- OF curious people. but no reason

CURIOSITY SAVED LIVES
Boston Coal HEAVIER Found Giant
Powder on His Shovel.
Had II Been Thrown INTO the Furnace
IL w"uld Have Exploded II Whole
section of the City

| Boston. Feb. "A cca.-Seaver in the
employ of the Boston Electric Light Com
| paDy has proved himself a public bene-
1 factor in that his curiosity has been the
/ means OF saving many lives and averting
what must have proved Il great fire.
On Wednesday night two firemeD were
| feeding the sixteen huge furnaces in the
| boiler room of the central power plant on
sumner street extension. Fires cleaned
1 brightly from every door beneath that big
battery of boilers. which extend some 100
feet the length OF the haselneut. In the
adjoining room dczen or more men Were
watching the mammoth dyuamos and at.
tending the switches.
One of the firemen in throwing coal
into furnace door OF boiler near the
middle of the battery. using a large shovel
which holds twenty pound CT more of coal,
detected an extra heavy shoveiful and.
prompted ny curiosity. while en- the very
point OF throwing II into tf. furnace
stopped and set IL down tc investigate. The
coal used is nearly al slack or dust
coal but occasionally large Jumps rr found.
which. as q rule. are thrown into the fur
mace without any thought.
As the fireman turned the shovelful of
coal upon the cement TlCCr h- saw that
what appeared To be a very large lump
had caused the extra weight he had de.
AtCitG BTusnIDe lOt tN>i from tine sur
face, he was astonished to fiId that the
lump was tin box badly battered by con. !
tact with the Jumps OF coal 81 nd the handling
IL had been subjected 10.
The other ilreman was called and the
two pricd the box open and found it filled
with a black material that did not hook
unlike coal dust. The night foreman of the
station was called, and the moment he
laid eyes on the stuff he ordered it re-
moved from the hot boiler room, infornI-
ing the men that it was giant powder.
The next day it was weighed and found
to contain fourteen pounds. Had the fire
man thrown that Jump into the furnace
district OF Boston. for the big battery OF
boilers. each carrying l4o puunds steam
pressure, would have exploded. and the
biz ten-stury building and the five score
more Of like magnitude in the Immediate
vicinity would have been razcd, ard the
fire which would have ensded would have
added its horrors 10 the scene and caused
millions of loss.
The electric light company has begun an
investigation into the matter, and il IS
believed that the box will be traced back
TO the mines. In the meantime the fireman
whose curiosity saved the city from a ca
tastrophe IS working every night, labnri-
UIsly throwing coal into those furnaces for
his paltry So. Aside from the praise OF a
few apprcciative felluw-iahUrer> he has re-
