same time Mrs. Botkin's attorneys are
preparing an elaborate argument
against the transfer of the case to the
Delaware courts. Attorney Dunno has
requested Chief of Police Lees to get
more definite statement of the case
from the Delaware officials, and to that
end Chief Lees yesterday telegraphed
to Attorney General White, of Della

case on a number of points.

pers. She has had several consulta-
tions with her attorneys but the ordeal
has so far had little appreciable effect
on her appearance.

MINERS AWFUL STRUGGLE.
Eighteen M en- Narrowly lyEscaped From
~ Subterranean Furnace.

n Subterrnnean Furnace.
Danvlle, Ills, Aug. 27.-A large coal
mine operated by A. II. Bennett caught
fire early yesterday morning and
burned until o'clock in the afternoon.
Eighteen men were in the mine at the
time, and barely escaped with their
lives. When the alarm was given the
entire force rushed to the shaft and
found 1t in flames, the cage and cable
having been burned. They resolved to
try the air shaft at the other end of
the mine and started to fight their way
through the dense smoke and fire. Sew
eral of the men sank exhausted and
had to be carried on by their compan-
ions. Burning and bruised, they liter
ally crawled over the red hot Goals and
timber until their bodies were one mass
of wounds. When they reached the air
shaft they were drawn up by means of
ropes. Many of them were so complete
ly exhausted that ropes had to be tied
around their bodies in order to get
them out. Some of the men may die
from the effects Of burns. Charles Hat
field and son were among those who
were seriously burned. The mules and
horses used in the mine for the teaming
were all cremated The mine is prac-
ticaly worthless and probably Will
never be worked again.
