Travel in Dancing.

An average waltz takes a dancer over
about three-quarters of mile, a
square dance makes him cover half a
mile. A girl with a well-filled program
travels thus in one evening: Twelve
waltzes, nine miles; four other dances
at half mile apiece, which is hardly
a fairly big estimate, two miles more;
the intermission stroll, and the trips
to the dressing-room to renovate her
gown, and complexion, half mile;
grand total, eleven and a half miles.

TWO MINE ACCIDENTS.
One OF Them Fatal and the Other
Probably So.

Charles Wasalansky, a Lithuanian,
met with a peculiar and fatal accident
i'm the RaVine mine, near Pittston, yes
terday morning. He was a laborer and
had seated himself to eat his lunch
while his miner was firing a blast. He
had not removed himself a safe dis
tance, however, and large jagged
rock tore his right leg nearly off and
fractured and crushed his left leg.
Wasalausky was taken to the Pitts
ton hospital. He was too weak to sub
nit 10 amputation and died during the
afternoon. He was 2S years old, mar
ried and lived at "Frostown,"
Another probable down -the-v valley
fatality is reported from No. 10 shaft
of the Pennsylvania Coal company.
David Breene, of Washington terrace,
Pittston, was caught in a premature
blast and sustained a badly fractured
skull and mutilated face and body.
His recovery is very doubtful.
