THRILLING EXPERIENCE.
Narrow Escapes From Death While Fight
ing Drifts on "a Railroad.

There were some thrilling events in con-
nection with the efforts to force passage
through the drifts in the cut west of the
Elmwood colliery, near Mahauoy City, last
night Repeated efforts to accomplish the
purpose were made with the two coupled
engines and several times the forward engine
was buried in the snow.
At about 10 o'clock last night the engines
succeeded in getting half way through the
cut. Engine No. 4O7 went into the snow with
rush and then stopped. The snow was
about 25 feet high and packed. Engineer
William Rhoads was standing in the cab with
his face towards the obstruction. The hard
packed snow burst through the cab window
and Rhoads was forced backwards, partly
through the open door. The snow filled the
cab and almost extinguished the engines
fire.
Engine No. 14s, in charge of Benjamin
Walters endeavored to pull 4O7 out. David
Houser, an experienced engineer of Mt.
Carmel go years old, was standing on the
tank of the first engine when the second
came up and was coupled. When the back
ward movement was made the coupling broke
and HOuser fell between the tank and rear
engine. His left arm fell in front of the
latter's driving wheels, but they slid and did
not pass over the arm. Houser was dragged
some distance before Walters heard his cries
and stopped his engine The victim was
pulled from his perilous position and placed
on the engine. He was removed TO Lewis
hotel, Mahauoy City, and Dr. Hermany
found painful bruises about the back and
left side. His forehead was gashed and his
lett leg scalded. His escape from death is
considered miraculous.

Complaint is made in many Pennsylvania
towns of lack Of public interest in the
coming spring elections, and the local news
papers are calling upon voters to awaken to
the Importance of the ballet. Here again the
state press leads the people in guarding popu-
lar interests, The spring elections were
separated from the state and national cleo
tiOns, in order that voters might elect men
to office independently of state and national
influences II is sometimes difficult to get
up much excitement over the election of
town and township officials, but the duty to
go to the polls is none the less imperative.
Do those officials not control town and town
ship affairs

Several teamsters drove over it to the bor-
ough line but at that point were Obliged to

Least Ten Years.

Havana, Feb. ia gentleman Of national
reputation, who is here as the personal rep.
resentatiye Of President Mckinley, says the
policy Of the administration towards Cubaus
will be laid before Gomez next week.
The plain is first to determine the exact
amount necessary to liquidate the obligations
Of the provisional government, which is now
estimated at about 500 900, 900.
To raise this amount Cuban bonds with an
American guarantee will be issued
American officers will administer tho affairs
Of the Custom Houses of the island and have
general superntendence of all taxation.
Consular affairs will be entirely entrusted to
the United States, but in all other affairs the
island will be free and Independent.

time the island will have demonstrated its
ability to govern itself or will be more than
willing to attach itself permanently to the

During the past three days there has been
mild coal famine ia town, and many
families suffered thereby. The haulers sue
ceeded after strenuous efforts yesterday in
securing a small supply but it by no means
was sufficient for all wants, With the re-
sumption of the coIlieries this morning, how
ever, the supply was equal 10 the demand,
aud every coal hauler in the town was busy
filling orders. II is estimated that 100 OOC
more tons Of coal are used on an extremely
cold day like Monday, than the usual winters
day. That means half days extra work al
the collieries.

More Will Start Tomorrow.
All the collieries of the P. & R. c. &ICo.
in this district were started this morning
and, as there are promises Of supply of
empty cars before night, they will in all
probability work tomorrow. The Kelley
Run colliery also resumed operations this
morning.
The Lehigh Valley Coal Company an
nounced to-day that Packer cOllieries Nos 2,
and will resume operations tomorrow,
regardless of the conditions that may exist
in connection with the operation of the l. v.
R. R., as there is a supply of empty cars at
each colliery to last until the railroad is fully
open.
The VIM. Penn colliery is still idle The
colliery is ready for operations at any time,
but it is without empty cars If supply
can be secured by tomorrow night the col
liery will start up on Friday morning The
prospects for much work at the place during
the balance of this week are not very en-
couraging, however.

From Mt Carmel News.
In a conversation with Daily News man
Saturday morning, a prominent coal mining
official stated that in all his experience he
had never known so many improvements to
be made at this season of the year as are now
going on about the collieries This, he de-
clares, means nothing but steady work in the
near future. The market, he is in a position
to observe, is depleted, and the coming sum
mer must of necessity be one of continuous
operation in order to supply the demands. In
fact, he believes the coal region will see bet
ter times for the next year than has been
their lot for a decade OF more.
