BROUGHT TO GLENWooD SPRINGS.
Bodies of the Twelve Miners Were
Horribly ManEIed.

Glenwood Springs, Col, Sept. 6.-The
bodies of the II miners killed by the
coal dust explosion in the Sunshine mine
of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company
were brought to this city Saturday and
prepared for burial. Coroner Clark EN-
paneled the jury, which viewed the re-
mains. The force of the explosion had
completely crushed each bone in the II
bodies, so that the remains were merely a
mass of flesh and bones. This is the old
est in the Spring Gulch group. The two
entries below the one in which the acct
ednt occurred have been worked out
These two covered distance of 600 feet
above the level of the creek. The stope
which proved the deathtrap of the IL
men is usually the working place of 40
toilers Friday the main force were en-
ployed in the entry $50 feet above the
level where the explosion occurred. The
explosion broke away the stopage from
the lower worked out Slopes and the
two working slopes were at once filled
with deadly black damp. An idea of the
force of the explosion can be had when
it is seen that timbers, many % inches
in diameter, were twisted and broken as
though mere pipestems. The superinten-
dent, Ben Davis, now lies dangerously ill
from the effects of the black damp
breathed while bringing out the dead
bodies.

Threaten n shotgun Quarantine.

Austin, Tex, Sept, State Health
Officer Swearingen has issued an iron
clad quarantine against Ocean Springs,
Miss, and all other points now effected,
or likely to be effected, by yellow fever.
Reports from the gulf coast are to the
effect that the inhabitants are badly
frightened and some are talking of re-
organizing their shotgun quarantine
force, which patrolled the gulf shore
some II years ago to keep out all per-
sons and thereby prevent the disease
from entering the state
Came From Ship Island.
New Orleans, Sept. Acting Presi-
dent Walmsley of the Louisiana state
board of health, speaking of yellow fe-
yer at Ocean Springs, said the represen-
tatives of the marine hospital and the
Mississippi state board of health were to
some extent responsible for the inva-
sion. He said the fever has unques-
tionably been communicated by CON
slant intercourse of Ocean Springs with
Ship island. where there is United
H'a'eS SoNelhHieHI quarantine STATION.
Slips from all portions of the world
touch there. A large number from trop-
zeal countries where yellow fever is in
digenous to the soil report there weekly.
There has been steady and uninterrupted
communication between the island and
coast towns, and DIR. Walmsley has little
or no doubt that this has been the means
of bringing into Ocean Springs the dead
ly germs of yellow fever If rigid
quarantine had been maintained between
the island and shore. he believes that
Ocean Springs would now have little else
to contend with than dengue fever.

DEBOE Is LIKELY To BE ELECTED
TO SUCCEED BLACKBURN.
Latter II Making n Desperate Fight
tn Keep the Kentucky LegisIa-
ture in a Deadlock.

FRANKFORT, KY, April 27.-The two
political armies here are fighting tonight
as never before. The Blackburn people.
who see the prize slipping from them, ana
the election of Deboe almost certain to oc-
cur tomorrow, are making desperate ef-
forts to stave off the election. They are
following up the letters they produced to-
day, touching the silver sympathies and
procuvities Of the new nominee, and to-
night have received an even more palpable
free-silver expression, said to have gone
from Deboe to the Populists when he
a candidate before and about the time the
famous free-silver pledges of Hunter were
given.
Senator Deboe said tonight: "a few min
utes after the withdrawal of DR.. Hunter
last winter ( went to my room. Just after
L got there Poor and Darlington, accom-
panied by Ben Keys, came to my room.
Senator Jones, who was present, stepped
out. They told me that if L would give
them but a personal promise to vote for
free silver they would vote for me after /
was nominated. They came to
again with the same promise for
a seat in the United States Senate"
Senator Jones says that he was not abso-
lutely present, but was in the next room,
and was told Immediately what had oc-
Cured. Senator Deboe further says that
the second letter from him to Poor has been
published in a mutilated form; that part
of ii is forgery and that the part that
showed where he stood has been cut out.
He said that he did write TO Mr.. Poor, but
only once on the monetary question, and
that Poor had asked him for his views on
this subject. He said that in his letter he
copied the money plank in the Republican
platform of 1892, and added that he thought
neither metal ought to have monopoly
He says that he said this because he be-
lieved that free silver would be a monopoly
for silver. While some Republicans think
ment, gone as far as Hunter in his free
silver expressions. none of them seem dis
posed To vote against him on this account
Governor Bradley was in the hotel lobbies
this evening working and when he left said
there was no earthly doubt of an election
tomorrow.
The ballot to-day was again a formal af-
fair, by agreement each candidate receiving
but one vote. Republicans announce that
all pairs are off tomorrow and that they
will have full attendance and will surely
elect.
Judge Cantrell has indicated that he will
hear no arguments on any motion to quash
on demurrer against the indictments
against Hunter ct al. at this term OF court
The attorneys for the defense have there
fore about decided TO make no effort TO do
anything at all in the matter until the
next or September term OF court.

Mississippi Legislature Meets.

JACKSON, Miss. April H.-The Missis-
sippi Legislature convened here at II O'Clock
to-day in extraordinary session. The prin-
cipal work before the body will be TO de-
wise means to remedy the deficit now exist
ing in the state treasury and to consider
plans for building a new capitol. The indi-
cations are that the session is not going TO
be a very harmonious one. and for this rea-
son may be more or less drawn out. There
is a good deal of antagonism to the two
proposed revenue bills. and there doubtless
will be much debate upon this subject
There Is also considerable difference of
opinion in regard to the building of a new
capitol. All agree that new one is needed
and should be built. but there Is a wide di-
vergence among members as TO cost loca-
ton and means and manner OF building.

Will make oyster farming much more
profitable. Instead of rearing seed
oysters for three or five years before
they are ready to take, the growers
have found Il a better plan to trans
plant young oysters, from one to three
years old, from the beds in the rivers
along the Chesapeake bay. The trans
planting is done in the Spring, and by
September !, when the season opens in
Delaware bay, the oysters are ready for
marketing. There were three or four
times as many 'ftransplanted" oysters
this year than ever before.
Plants or seed oysters are still taken
from the beds kept by the State OF New
Jersey at False Bennies and Cohansey
and at various shoals almost up to

next year there is another crop OF new

Consul Fraser Reports on How IL Is
Manufactured.
An interesting account of the manu-
facture of the so-called Indian ink,
which is made only in the Anhui prov
ince of China, is given by Mr.. Fraser,
our consul at Wuku, on the Yang-tsze,
in his last trade report. tits more cor
rectly called China ink-encre de Chine
and from Anhui it goes to every part
Of China and all over the world. In
1895 about two tons of it, valued at
e564, were exported from Shanghai to
foreign countries. The materials with
which this beautiful black ink is made
are sesamum or COLA oil, or the oil ex-
pressed from the poisonous seeds of a
tree extensively cultivated in the Yang
tsze valley, and also well known in
Japan. To this varnish and pork fat
are added. The lamp-black made by
the combustion of these substances is
classed according to the materials and
the grade of fineness, and also accord
ing to the time taken over the process
of combustion. The paste made of this
lampblaclS has some glue added, and is
beaten on wooden anvils with steel
hammers. Two good hammers can pre-
pare in day so pieces, each weighing
half a pound. A certain quantity OF
musk of the muskdeer, or of Baroos
camphor, for scenting, and gold leaves
varying from 20 to 100 to the pound, are
added to give a metallic luster. The
materials thus prepared are nodded il
molds of carved wood, dried, which
takes about 20 days in fine weather
and adorned with Chinese characters il
gliding. About 80 average-sized sticks
of ink go to the pound. The price
varies from two shillings or less pei
pound to as much as seven pounds
there being over a dozen differen
grades. Nearly all writing is done BY
the natives throughout China, Japan
Corea, Tongling and Anam with thi
China ink, rubbed down on a stone inl
slab, and applied with a paint brusl
of sable, fox or rabbit hair, set in
bamboo holder, and when not in us

ink appear to be used in China, and no

1t II One of the Most Wonderful
Things of Nature.
A snail's tongue is really one of the
most wonderful things in nature, and
if larger animals were endowed with
ms DESTRUCTIVE an apparatus in the way
of a tongue, in comparison to their
size, it would be dreadful thing.
A snail's tongue, says the Chicago
News, is literally a saw, and hand
saw at that. 1t is long, and covered
over the entire surface with teeth so
minute that 10000 of them have been
counted on n tongue. The tongue is
kept coiled up, and only about a sixth
of the length used at time. When the
teeth on this section become dull an
other section is uncoiled and used. This
is kept up until the entire tongue has
been used, when it is coiled up again
and fresh start made, for the teeth
on the unused part have in the mean
time grown TO be as sharp as ever.
The roof of the mouth is as hard as n
bone. and any substance that is to be
cut is drawn between the tongue and
this hard roof and literally sawed or
