Cemetery Matters.

The citizens held mass meeting in
the court house last Thursday night
for the purpose of considering the ad.
visibility of adding more ground to the
Love cemetery. The Dissertation OF
the cemetery and its over crowded con-
dition led to the meeting. 1t was re-
ported that the old cemetery was the
habitation of cattle and was common
for the escapades Of the lewd of the
city, and that its treatment was shock
ing to Christian community.
Nothing definite was done and the
meeting adjourned until next Friday
night to further consider the subject.
The plan suggested was for the city
to buy four acres as an addition and
then sell lots to the people.

A Baby'S Fall,

The little babe of Mr.. and Mrs. DIR.
S. A. Bowman had narrow escape
from sudden death Tuesday afternoon.
The little one is about seven months
old and is just beginning to sit alone,
but had made no effort to crawl. Her
mother sat her on the floor of the back
porch and while her attention was
directed elsewhere the baby managed
to roll off the edge and fall to the
ground, distance of six feet. 1t was
a miracle that it was not killed outright.
AS it was, it is very seriously hurt, but
it is thought not fatally.

Sad Accident.

A shocking accident occurred near
Bells schoolhouse, in the 9Th district
of this county, last Wednesday morn
ing. A 4 year-old son of Tom Bell,
a farmer living in that community. was
in the meadow with the farm hands
and had both his feet cut off with a
moving mahcine. No particulars of
the sad affair could be learned further
than that the boy lost both his feet and
will probably not recover.
LATER-The lad died from loss of
blood shortly after he was carried to
the house. The family and neighbors
were so excited that none of them
thought to bandage the bleeding
stumps till the boy was so low that he
could not recover. Both legs We're en-
tirely cut off just above the ankles, and
the most shocking part of the incident
is that in the excitement one of the
feet was misplaced and up to last night
had not been found. They were car
ried to the house and it is thought
that the dog stole one of them out, and
possibly buried or devoured it. Dill
gent search is being made by everyone
and it is hoped that the missing mem
Der will be found in time to be placed
in the grave with the little corpse.
The boy was standing in high weeds
and the driver of the machine did moi
see him till the awful accident had
happened.

HORROR In WALES.
Goal Pits Are Destroyed by Gas
Explosion.
Miners to the Number of Over 100 Are
Observation-Disclosures Working Hard
to Save Them -Four Re-
ported Killed.

Cardiff, Wales, Jan. 2S.-The residents
of the town and vicinity of Tylorstown,
which is situated near here, were terri
fled by a terrific reverberation Monday.
The concussion was caused by an eX-
plosion in a neighboring colliery, with
disastrous consequences to life and
property. The latest report places the
number of dead at 81, though it is
feared that the further exploration of
the wrecked mine will develop the
bodies of more. Reports of the number
of killed have been confusing, and there
is doubt as to the number of men in
the mine at the time of the catastrophe.
The first reports gave the number of
miners in the shaft at 81, but some of
them escaped to the surface, bringing
the body of one comrade with them.
The pit was found to have caught fire,
and the hindrance that this caused to
the work of the rescue parties added to
the excitement and tension of feeling.
Tt was only through Drawing the utmost
peril that the living were able to prose-
cute their quest for the dead.
The number of the dead removed
grew from IL to Is and then 20, and the
list of those known to have been in the
fated shaft kept constantly growing,
and with it the number of bereaved
families waiting at the surface. The
last to come out brought with them
five bodies. None have been found
alive, and it is not now thought that any
will be.
1t was reported at midnight that
more bodies had been brought to the
surface of the wrecked mine, and some
of those who were in the mine have
been rescued alive and are able to tell
something of the occurrence. A fire.
man who made his way out of the death
pit by long journey relates that he
passed numerous men on the way who
were unconscious and helpless and bad
! ly burned. He could do nothing for
them and was obliged to leave them to
| their fate

ANOTHER PLAN.
Outline of Compromise Financial Meas
uro Under Confederation.


Washington, Jan. 2s.---During the
session of the senate Monday there were
numerous conferences between silver
md anti-silver democrats and repub.
licans and democrats. There was every
evidence of desire to get together
ON the financial question. Should there
be any compromise, it can only come
after the silver men have put the sem
etc on record by yea and nay vote on
the free silver substitute now under
debate. The compromise can only be
effected in the conference committee.
AS means for arriving at some So
luton of the problem, through the in
etrumcntality of that committee, the
situation is being canvassed in the SEN
nte. The proposition discussed Mon.
day came from one of the most prom.
inent silver democrats in the senate,
and its character, unfolded by the au-
thor himself to prominent republican
senator's, is such as has occasioned con-
siderable surprise among those who
have been taken into the conference.
This proposition contemplates the re-
tirement of the greenbacks and the
treasury notes by the issuance of $780,
100000 of gold bonds, declaration that
all outstanding bonds of the govern
ment shall be paid in gold regardless
OF the language used, and the opening
of the United States mints to the free
and unlimited coinage of silver.
This scheme, which apparently gives
the gold men all they ask and the sill
vcr men all they have been demanding,i il
meeting with opposition, especially
among the ranks of the sound money
men on the democratic side of the
| chamber and the silver republicans
Of course, it is a tentative proposition
as are many others that are being
broached. The belief is strong, how,
ever, that no common ground can be
reached whereon the contending ele.
ments can stand. The proposition out
lined above comes from a senator OF
such prominence, however, that is is
commanding much attention.
