Loss WIN Probably Reach Hundreds
OF Thousands of Dollars.
Angels Camp, Cal, Aug 1S-The
great Utica mines are on fire 1t was
with difficulty that the shift made their
escape. Six men We're cut off, but
made their way through the south
end of the new shaft. The fire is sup
posed to have originated from spon-
taneous combustion caused by lard
and coal oil.
1t is impossible at present to esti-
mate the extent of the loss the fire win
cause, but it is safe to say that it will
amount to hundreds of thousands of
dollars. Not only are the mine owners
affected but the whole town of Angels
Camp. which contains a population of
6,0O0 who are almost wholly dependent
upon the miners employed in the Utica
group Of mines. There are LOCO men
employed by the company, and should
( the fire prove as serious as reported
these men will be left In destitute cir
|cumstances.
Every effort IS being made to quench
the fire as rapidly as possible, but gas
and smoke are escaping from all the
shafts which are being rapidly bulk
headed, While stopping up the Utica
shafts several firemen were suffocated
The mine is rapidly being flooded. It
Will take at least four days to flood
the mine, and it is estimated that in
case no more serious results should
happen afterward it will take at least
two months to pump out the water and
ht the mines for regular operation.

Hazleton, Pa, Aug. 18.-The com
mittee appointed by the striking min
ers of the Lehigh and Willesbarre com
pany's collieries last evening had a
conference with Manager laval, who
came down from WillSesbarre. At a
subsequent meeting Of the strikers the
committee reported that Mr.. laval
had taken the petitions of the men and
had promised to make a reply within
two days. He win meantime confer
with the New York officials of the COM

strikers but they decided to remain
idle until the company officials make
reply No disturbance of any kind has
taken place, and everything about the
mines is quiet.

Decided TO Resume Operations.

Cleveland, Aug. 1S.-The operators Of
the Pennsylvania coal mines held a
conference in this city yesterday at
which It was determined that mines
IN the Plttsburg district should be
started and operated without further
delay on the grounds that the miners
have taken a high handed position
that nothing but an unreasonable price
for mining viii satisfy their demand
and that they have been unwilling to
treat with the operators on any fair
grounds. Also that there is no course
left Open TO the operators at this time
At least three-fourths of the tonnage
of the Pittsburg district was represent
ed at the conference, and all are unani-
nous and agreed, If necessary. TO forci-
bly, resume operations with the excep-
tion of NJ A. Hanna & Co.

Miners Refuse to Strike.

Greensburg, Pa, Aug. 1S.-It was de-
clded last night that there will be no
strike at the Aroma and Madison mines.
The 300 miners held a meeting, and out
of that number only six miners voted
to strike. During the meeting the
strikers from the river and the Her
mimic contingent were parading up and
down the road in the vicinity of the
two works. The strikers, after the de-
cison, quietly dispersed. The Madi-
son and Aroma miners are now receiv-
ing the price for which the river and
other miners are striking.

The report of the State geologist of
Indiana for the past year has just been
published, and it fOrebodes the failure
of the natural gas fields at no distant
day. The territory that now produces
natural gas includes a region of about
$500 square miles, and no new diSc0y-
cries have been made or are now likely
to be made. A decrease in the pressure
was first noticeable in 1895, and it is
still diminishing 1t would not be sur
prising therefore that if within a year
or two the supply would be so much di-
minished that the general use of the gas
would have to be abandoned. Such was
the case with the gas fields Of western
Pennsylvania, and such will probably
be the fate of the Indiana field. 1t will
be remembered that the Pennsylvania
fields, though long known, or at least
suspected. were not extensively Oper
ated until 1878, and it was not until
1884 that the gas was piped to Pitts
burg Then it was that the Smoky City
became smokeleSs, but this did not last
long. A few years and the wells be-
came exhausted and smoke once more
reigned supreme in the city of iron,
steel and coal. The gas fields of Indiana
were discovered in 1887 and now after
ten years they too will become thing
of the past. Nature seems to have no
continuing gas manufacturing. After
having made a supply and deposited it
in pockets she broke the retorts and
gave up the business. Those who are
dependent on natural gas for heat and
light are amply forewarned by this re-
port that they must be on the alert for
an artificial substitute. Natures lab
oratory is broken up.

HELPING A FRIEND.
A Statesman Who Was Willing to
Give Up What He Had.


''There are those who say unkind
things of the late Dan Voorhees," re-
marked a prominent Republican from
the State of Indiana, "but whatever
may be said, it is political and not per-
Sonal, for the man had one side to his
nature that the whole world could ad-
mire, and that part of it which knew
did admire and love as we'll. 1t was on
this account that when he died there
were many who shed sincere and sOr-
rowful tears for his loss. They did not
know him as politician and United
States Senator, but as a man and
friend.
Il remember an instance showing his
kindness, and also showing one Of the
reasons why he was always poor. He
had gone down the railroad some thir-
ty or forty miles from his home to de
fend case in court, which he had very
little thought of getting any money for,
though the litigant had plenty Of prop
erty. He won the case, and, much to
his surprise, his client gave him $1OO,
which was also pleasant to have, as he
had loaned to various applicants what
little money he had brought from home
with him. He pocketed the hundred,
and, after paying his hotel bill, start
ed to walk leisurely to the train, due
in half or three-quarters Of an hour.
On his way he was overtaken by for
mer friend, who hurried after him to
ask his legal advice, free, Of course, in
the matter Of staving off a mortgage
on his $3,0O0-dollar farm, and saving 1t
to his family. A hundred dollars would
set it forward a year, and give him
that much time to pull himself out,
which he was sure he could do. VoOr-
hees talked ten minutes or more to the
man, giving him such advice as he
thought was the best, and all at once
he broke out into a hearty laugh.
whats the matter?' asked the far
mer, almost indignant at such levity.
"'Why,' still laughed Voorhees,, go
ing into the pocket where his roll Of
bills was, here Pm talking all this
time to you, when I've got the very
thing you need. had clean forgotten
all about it. Here's what you want
a good deal more than legal advice

he hurried along to the railroad station,
where he borrowed money enough to
buy a ticket home"

A piano on an entirely new principle
is announced from Germany. The
strings are stretched across the sound
ing-bOard as in the ordinary piano, but
the entire hammer mechanism is abb
sent. Instead, the depressing of the
keys puts in action magnet, which
automatically attracts and releases the
wire, thus producing vibrations with
out the metallic stroke which accom-
panies the sound in the common type
The resulting effect upon the tones is
said to be very remarkable. The high
notes resemble those of an AeOlian
harp. The middle and lower notes are
like those of cello or an organ. 1t
responds readily to every variation in
power and expression. A note can be
sounded for several minutes without
varying in quality. SO radically differ
ent from all existing instruments are
the effects that new style of music
is needed to bring out it's capabilities.

South Carolina's Wild Beasts.

If a circle be described with the
Charleston city hall as center and a
radius of fifteen or twenty miles, there
may be found within it's limits at least
twenty-five different species of wild
animals, several of them in sufficient
numbers to make their capture for the
sake Of their skins profitable employ
ment, says the Charleston News and
Courier The list consists of the black
bear, the bay lynx or wildcat, the gray
fox, the Virginia deer, the raccoon, the
'possum, the gray rabbit, the swamp
rabbit, the pole-cat or skunk, the mink,
the Canada otter, the fox squirrel
(three varieties), the Carolina gray
squirrel, the flying squirrel four spe-
cies of rats, four species of mice, and
three species of ground mole or shrews
All these are found in considerable
numbers, while some, even Of the larg.
er and more important, are very abund-
ant.
In addition to these the common seal
is an occasional, though rare, visitor in
the harbor, while the panther the
beaver and the wolf have become eX-
tinct in this circuit within one or two
generations-the latter having been
killed within thirty miles of the city
in the memory Of men now living. If
we extend our circle to include the linn
it's of the State, we must enlarge our
list by eight or ten more species, such
as the red fox, the woodchuck or
ground hog, the muskrat, the ground
squirrel, and several others, while the
panther, wolf and beaver may possibly
be still found very rarely in the wild
regions Of the Blue Ridge.
