Thirty-five Miners Imprisoned Fou

Days without Food.
City of Mexico, Jan. s.-Various re.
ports have been in circulation regarding
the mine disaster at the mine of San
Jose De Garcia, at Guanajuato. Al
first 1t was reported 35 miners had been
drowned in the lower workings of the
mine. Authentic, but brief, reports
have Just been received which show
that the number as stated were at worl,
in the lower levels when they noticed
that the water was beginning to come
in slowly and they became alarmed.
When the water began rushing toward
them in greater volume their alarm
was turned into CONSERVATION, and the
men made rush for the ladders. They
stayed within reaching distance Of a
higher level, but could get no higher.
When the time came for the shift to so
to the surface and they did not appear
the rumor spread that all the men had
been drowned A relief force volun-
teered to go to the rescue, but it vas
deemed impossible to give aid, and
nothing was done more than to ascer-
tain that there was undoubtedly a
flood in the lower workings.
-Four days passed. and naturally all
hope was abandoned and the families
of the miners gave way in despair, and
the news was given out that all the
men had perished in the mine. Finally
relief party, still working, but with
out any hope, reached the place where
the miners had sought refuge and res
cued them. The poor fellows were in
bad state Of exhaustion, having had
no food during all the time they were
imprisoned on the level, and some of
them were so weak that they could
hardly move. All were rescued how
ever and brought to the surface amid
tumultuouS rejoicings,

PENNSYLVANIA AGRIcULTURIsTS.
Advantages Gained by the state Agri.
cultural Departments Work.

Harrisburg, Jan. 3.-Thomas ]. Edge,
secretary Of agriculture. has submit-
ted his annual report for the year just
ended. The secretary reports that the
past year has been one of advance all
along the line of the work falling under
the care of the department. Through
various acts passed by the last legis-
lature the efficiency of the farmers
Institutes has been increased, the work
of the dairy and food commissioner ex-
tended and the forestry commissioner
enabled to more efficiently carry on the
duties imposed upon him. The state
veterinarian. through the live stock
sanitary board, has also been enabled
to not only increase the efficiency of
his work, but to greatly extend It's
scope and usefulness and to exercise
control over milch cows and breeding
animals brought into the state and
to shut out diseas sed animals.
EVERY division Of the department
has a work to perform which, when
properly appreciated by our farmers.

Of the divisions" adds the secretary.
Thus the work of the analysis of COM

pays the whole cost of the department;
the benefits obtained from farmers in
stitutes, especially in localities where
they are properly understood and taken
advantage Of. more than repays the
total expenses incurred in supporting
the department; the benefits gained
by the work of the state live stock
sanitary board has been the means Of
saving live stock of much more value
than the entire cost of the department,
and the work Of the forestry division
will also more than repay the outlays
on account of all of the work accom-
plished by the department during the
year"
Secretary Edge says the work Of the
division under the control of the dairy
and food commissioner has progressed
steadily. but 1t Is greatly to be regret
ted that lack Of funds has more or
less crippled the performance of GER

A poor otd woman lay dying
| Upon bed Of pain,
Her only son who had left her
She hoped to sec again.
| She knew she was dying
That the hours flew quickly by,
But she felt that she could not die
Until she had seen her boy.
Those who stood around her
Heard her cry, My boy
l knew could not die without you
My pride, my joy.
Her head sunk back on the pillow,
With look that was peaceful and mild,
Her spirit soul had passed away
With that of her darling child.

While that mothers corpse lay within, 4

And the body of her boy was carried in.

While on his way home,
The last words he spoke
Were. Mother, forgive your Jeck,
Who deserted you to roam.
