LOST IN A MINE.
Three Youths Have n Fearful Under
ground Experience.

Three lads Cf the Belmont district
had an unenviable experience Sunday
afternoon. Howard Cummings, IL
years old: Willie Samson. IS. and
Charles Blankenburg, a. ventured in
TO the new coal openings of Engineer
Barton, made on the Watt SCurrY
tract. The youths had lighted lamps
and they strolled through the labyrin-
thine passages for an hour or SO, hav-
ing n real, good time. Finally they
wandered into some tempting caverns
of the cid workings and were lost TO
the world. They had neglected to pro-
ivde themselves with sufficient oil for
a long stay and like TIE foolish vir-
gins they were caught in the dark.
The boys entered the mine at j
o'clock and as the supper hour passed
without their return home, their par
ents became alarmed. Inquiry after
inquiry led the anxious mothers and
a large searching party TO the mouth
of the drift. Experienced miners To-
Gated the lads after nearly an hours
tedious hunt. The boys were pretty
badly frightened, but had not become
discouraged. They said they had put
their trust in the Lord and it must
have been in harmony with His will
or they wouldn't have been there.
Tho happy mothers have been roceiv-
ing congratulations upon the rcstora-
tion Of their sons. The hill is under
mined for hundreds OF acres and it
would have been an easy matter for
the boys to get beyond help.

BIG ERIE CHANGES.
Some Large Moves on the Official
Checker Board AIe Anticipatcd.

Those who have observed the signs
of official change in the Erie for the
past few wears affirm that there is
about to be a great move among those
holding high positions. The rumOr
which has been going over the main
line during the past few days has just
reached this city. 1t is to the effect
that General Manager Fitch is to ac-
cept a more lucrative position on an
other road. OF course this leads to
slatemaking, and those who guess
right ninetynine times out of a hun
dred say superintendent Mcclure. Of
the New York division, will succeed
Mr.. Fitch: that Superintendent Nc
CURE, of Susquehanna, will succeed
his brother, and that the superintend-
ent of the Bradford division will take
charge at Susquehanna.
1t is also stated that General Super
intendent of Transportation George
Van Keuren vii succeed Mr.. Fitch,
and that Superintendent Dove, of this
city. will take Mr.. Van Keuren's place
Until official action is taken this will
be considered large speculation, but
afterward it will be found not far from
the truth.
One thing is certain, Carbondale. the
headquarters of the jefferson division,
has been a stepping stone to high
places. The first superintendent, w.
l.. Leer, went from here to Port Jervis
to take charge of the Delaware divis-
ion. His successor, George Van Keuren
struck it exceptionally fortunate, made
a big showing on keeping down eX-
penses and was promoted to general
superintendancy. Mr.. Smith, who was
the third head of the jeff went to
the Coke Coal road, where he became
general manager and now the signs
indicate that Mr. Dove, the present
superintendent will make a high jump.
New York officials were in this city
last week and their movements were
significant. The next few davs are
likely to see some startling Develop
ments.

JERMYN NEWS.
Terrible Accident to John NaylOr.
Pigeon Shooting Match.

John Naylor, about % years of age,
who lives on No. 5 hill, Archibald, was
found lying unconscious on the plat
form in front of the Delaware and
Hudson depot, Sunday evening short
ly after 5.30 His right foot, which
was cut off, was found between the
track and platform, and his left ear,
which was completely severed, lay near
the body. He also sustained wounds
about the eyes and chin. 1t is feared
he has received internal injuries. AS
he was discovered shortly after a
Inbound train had passed, it is
surmised that he rode upon the train
from Archibald and in attempting to
jump off, was thrown against the plat
form and under the train. A piece of
his shirt collar was wedged in a
plank several feet from where he was
lying. Drs. Shields and Manly were
summoned and cared for the unfortu-
nate man. He was still unconscious
when taken to the hospital. At the
hospital it was found necessary to am
putate the right leg above the ankle.
The left ear which was cut off was
seWed on again. The wounds in his
scalp are very deep and Naylor is
suffering from cerebral conclusion.

A New Financial system

The demand now heard from mer-
chants and manufacturers and bankers
and other intelligent observers in every
part of the country is not for some re-
pairs to our financial system, but for a
new system. No government paper can
be free from objection, because it's vol
ume and redeemability will depend in
part upon the opinions of congress and
in part upon the opinions of the presi-
dent. No one can be certain that these
will be correct in all years to come. If
we could be sure that they would al
ways be correct, we could not be sure
that the government would always be
able to maintain a sufficient reserve
for the redemption of the notes. If the
weight of a pound and the length of
yard were liable to be changed at any
time by congress, the uncertainty could
hardly be so dangerous as the present
uncertainty regarding the unit of value.
This explains why so many of the men
who do the business OF the country, not
alone in the north and east, but also in
the south and west, demand the with
drawal Of the government Gotes.-Iron
Age.
