Oxford, N. j., May 13.-The lifeless
bodies of Adam Snyder and Barney
Rider were found at the bottom of the
zinc ore mine on the Raub farm, about
one and half miles from this place,
yesterday. The men had been en-
ployed by prospectors, and went to
work Tuesday evening. At 10 o'clock
they were hosted from the mine, and
after taking their lunch returned to
their work. That was the last seen of
them alive. Philip Rapp, who had
charge of the hoistng engine, says
the men gave him no signal from the
time they went down into the mine
after supper. When the day shift was
lowered yesterday they found the dead
bodies of their companions. They had
been overcome by gas. Both leave fam
lilies.

| WOULDN'T TAKE A CENT.

Senator, said Mccullough,
"Wbere will the meeting be9'
Up at Hoffecker's office,
You know as we'll as me.
L know you make the laws,
On h. nest lines of course,
Did you hear that Mrs. Gauze,
BY you wants a divorce.
l wouldn't take a cent,
But as you are her hackers,
$500 must be spent,
With the corncrackers.
1t is a case of blackmail,
You may think it sport,
Said Hoffecker, will take the
case, ,.n
To the Upper Court" ~
