Buckeye Coal Mine Flood ed.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
CLINTON, Ind. March 13.-The Buckeye
mine of this place, owned and operated by
McClelland Bros, Is flooded and will
possibly have 20 be abandoned. They were
mining in the lower vein and about seventy
five feet above the coal is a strata of sand
and gravel filed with water, presumably
fed from the Wabash river. The roof of
the mine being considered safe all the
coal was mined over considerable space,
no pillars being left a fall occurred at
this pace a few days ago. since which time
The mine has been filled with water. Though
the vein of coal is 165 feet deep, the fall
caused the surface to sink and of course
tapped the strata of gravel and water.
The work of pumping and hosting water
is prosecuted day and night, but no head
way is made in clearing the mine OF water.
McClelland Bros still hope to save the
valuable property. They have purchased
heavier pumps and boilers, which are being
put in place. The 80 employees, who were
thrown out of work, have nearly all gone
to work in the other mines in the district,
and few Of them entertain any hopes of re-
sumption of work at the Buckeye.

A Record in Widowhood.

A Mexican woman, the Sonora Ray
Castillo, certainly holds the palm for
supremacy in tFA number of her real,
genuine widowhoods. She has worn
the weeds seven times between 1880
and 1895. So widely different have
been the causes of death by which her
seven spouses Quilted this world, yet
so similar in the violence thereof, it
would almost seem that the fair SEN
ora was somewhat of a 'shoodoo" to
the genus husband.
Her first husband fell out of a a L
rage, her second took poison by acc;-
dent. the third persisted in a mining
accident, the fourth shot himself, the
fifth was killed while hunting, the
sixth met his death by dropping from
a scafolding and the seventh was
drowned.
As the sonora lives in Mexico she
has not gained the notoriety which
would otherwise have been hers from
her varied matrimonial ventures were
she a resident of some progressive
American city. New York Herald.
