REsURRECTED BUT TO DIE.

A thrilling and remarkable expert
ence in being buried alive, and rescued
only to die, was that of George Weeks
starter at Gilberton Colliery, Ash
land, Pa. He was buried on Wednes-
day by the giving way of the gate OIL
check, and n consequent cavern, and
was released, apparently only slightly
harmed, on Thursday, but expired
soon afterward.
After the accident Weeks's comrades
from neighboring breasts fastened to
his assistance, and a large gang was
soon at work removing tho coal from
the channel in order to reach and free
tho imprisoned miner before he should
die of suflocation. The men worked
MS they never did before, but the fall
of coal was so great that it was several
hours before they had removed a suffi-
cient quantity to communicate with
Weeks.
He was alive, and kept up contin-
ual cry for air, but there was yet a
large body of coal between him and his
rescuerS.
The men continued their work OF
rescue until O'Clock Thursday morn
ing, when they were rewarded for their
efforts by the liberation of their CON-
rsde, who thanked them and shook
hands with all. He sustained but q
few slight bruises about the legs and
complained ofno other injuries.
He was taken to his home short
distance away, and was relating his
experience to his wife, when he com
planned of pains in his body, and died
in few minutes.

Referee Promises a Fair Fight

CARSON, New, Feb. 27.-Corbett says
he has invented new blow. He holds
his fist close to his hip and waits for his
opponent to drop his right arm e little
below its usual resting place. The
moment the opening is offered his glove
flies upward and across, the arm being
slightly crooked. The blow is in direct
line for the other mans chin, and is
essentially knock. out blow. He
nearly put Billy Woods out twice with
this blow yesterday despite the latter's
pneumatic mask. Reports crop up re-
parding the way the fight has been
fixed" but no one with ordinary sense
places the slightest stock in them. OF
the determination of each man to win
there can be no question. The sport
ing fraternity, who are in q posi-
ton to know, say that the fight will be
the most holly contested one in the an
nails of the ring. Referee Siler says his
intention is to have the fight decided in
the fairest manner possible.

In THE earlier and better days of this

In THE earlier and better days of this
country that is up to 1860, the annual per
capita expenditures OF the government
amounted to about 81 %; now they
amount to about S7.l6 for every man,
woman and child, white and black, in
country. Then, too. there were few
very rich md few very poor people;
now there arc hundreds of very rich
and millions of very poor people, and
the tariff then was low, while now it is
high, and will DO higher. But, worse
still. the indications now are that the
governmeGt's old economy will never

AMONG THE numerous business fail
ures, tho procession of which is still be.
ing prolonged, are those of many build
ing and loan companies. Nothing could
afford more patent illustration of the
depreciation in tho value of houses and
land, caused by the lack of money.
Loans were made on such security, and
when neither interest nor principal
could be paid, and foreclosure and sale
were tho necessary result, the property
did not bring the amount of the loan,
aud frequently had no bidder and had
to be bought in by the lender. The
gold standard secured by the defeat of
the democratic ticket has increased the
value of money, but of nothing else.

THE LATE REV. ]. II. LEFTWICH

| THE LATE REV. j. Il. LGFIWlCH.
In its notice of the death of Rev. j.
L. Leftwich, which occurred at Allan
ia on Thursday, the Baltimore Nc,cs
says:
Before his graduation at the Semi
nary he received call from the Sec
ond Presbyterian Church of Alexan-
dria, Va, of which he remained pastor
until some years after the close of the
war.
In 1870 ne was called to the Central
Presbyterian Church Of Atlanta, Ga,
and accepted. He remained there I'M
til he was called to Baltimore to the
First Church, where he remained until
his health compelled him to resign a
few years ago, having been pastor here
for about ii years.
DR.. Leftwich, as Virginian by
birth, was an ardent sympsthizer with
the southern States during the late
war. During the occupancy of Alex
andria by the Union troops under Gen.
Heinizelman he was dragged from his
pulpit ono Sunday morning by order
of that official and on being brought
before the commanding officer, Gen.
Helntzelman said:
'You pray for rebels and for Jen.
Davis, but you do not pray for Presi-
dent Lincoln. You must pray for the
President and cease praying for those
in arms against the government. Will
you do it?
"Do you presume to dictate to me
how shall pray and for whom ?" said
the young clergyman in reply. 81 shall
pray for whom | please and how
please and you cannot stop me-"
The General said no more, but order
ed the church closed and took the key
When the congregation and pastor ar
rived at the church that evening for
service they found the doors closed,
and were about to dispense. Just then,
however, an orderly from Washington
gallOped up the street with an order
from President Lincoln to General
Heintzelman to open the church and
not to interfere any more. The General
then sent the key over to Mr.. Leftwch
and told him to so on with his services,
which was done.
Later, it became so uncomfortable for
him in Alexandria that he and most of
the male members of his congregation
went South to aid in the establishment
of the Confederacy, and no remained
there until the close of the war.
After the first battle of Bull Run,
Mr.. Leftwich (he was not then doc
tor of divinity went out with some
friends to the battlefield and call.
ed on the Confederate General Beaure-
gard, who was in command. He and
his friends then made arrangements to
go South later on, which plan they car
ried out III due time. Although absent
from his charge during almost the en-
tire period covered by the war, he con-
tiuued to be pastor of the Second
Church in Alexandria, and on the re-
turn of peace resumed his ministra-
tons. Some of his parishioners return
ed with him, but many of them were
left on the battlefield.

The SOUTHERN RA1LwAY.-A dis.
patch from Lynchburg says Mr. F s

OF the president of the city council. for
the purpose of inspecting certain sites
believed to be suitable for the divisional
terminus and repair shops which the
Southern road proposes to establish in
that vicinity in the near future. Abont
fifty acres of land was recently mr..

but has been led to believe, by the
very billy nature of the land along the
line OF their road, tina. it could not be
located there without great expense.
Mr.. Cannon 10 his visit there was escort
ed around by committee of some Of
Lynchburg's most prominent citizens
and the discussion OF the matter
in question was most pleasant. The
committee express themselves as much
pleased with the result of Mr.. Gannon's
visit and they are inclined to think
that the prospects OF securing the shops
for Lynchburg are encouraging.

SATURDAY EVENING. FEB. 81, 1897.

ACCORDING TO tho republican lu-
dietary committee of the republican u.
s. House of Representatives, the day OF
such things as the rights OF States Is
past and gone. and the people Of all the
States must have even their local laws
enacted by the national government.
That committee yesterday reported q
bill prohibiting telegraph and telephone
companies from transmitting reports OF
horse races from one State to another,
even though the State from which
thev are sent and that in which they
are received are willing that such trans
mission should be allowed. If such re-
norts should not be transmitted, why
should those Of tho grain or stock or
any other market, on which people
speculate, DO allowed. To bet is hui
man. and when men have nothing else
to bet on, they will make even the
quantity of rain that falls the subject OF
their wngers, as those Of India do. Per
sonal liberty, and not the restriction OF
such liberty, is what the people OF this
country are most in need OF.
