IN THE DIVORCE COURT
Another Hearing of Walters in
the Westlake Case.
DENIED SHE GAMBLED
And Had No Intentions OF Becoming
Spiritual Medium-An Applice-
ton of Alimony in the
Mosher Case.

Among a number of divorce matters
heard in the district court yesterday
was the petition of the defendant in the
case of Anna M. Westlake against Ed
ward Westlake for the appointment Of
a receiver for the property involved in
the suit. Westlake testified that his
wife, who is in possession of the prop
erty, is receiving $40 in rent for it and
that the property is allowed to go to
waste. She denied it and told of losing
a lot of rent from tenants who did not
pay. W. z. Carroll, attorney for West
lake, asked the woman about reports
that she was spending the money by
gambling in wheat and otherwise, and
she had not gambled in a year. He
also asked her if she did not take in a
performance of THE Turtle at the
opera house recently.
Yes, We're you there?" answered Mrs.
Westlake.

$500 to learn how.

SIX DAYS OF HORROR
Golfers Story of His Terrible
Experience Down a Mine.
CAUGHT IN A LANDSLIDE
One OF His W Companions Was Crushed
by Huge Rock-He and the Other
Eventually Rescued When AL
most Starved to Death.

To say that man is the hero of a
mine disaster implies very little in the
northern section of the Keystone state,
where accidents of this kind are as
common as manslaughter, and man
slaughter is so common that it is said
sheriff never goes out except when it
has been a killing with intent to rob.
Occasionally, however, some tragedy of
the vast underground world occurs that
is so thrilling or CHASTITY in its details
mat II becomes the seven days wonder
of the anthracite counties. Such one
was the great Landslide No. mine"
caVe-in of 1887, although by this time it
is quite forgotten except by those who
either participated in it or suffered the
loss of dear ones The first mentioned
are very few; in fact there is probably
only one man living to-day in this
country who starved, thirsted and turn
ed gray in those six days of horror.
That man is John Philomey, commonly
known as "Reddy" among his friends
Freddy is at present foreman in one
of the largest collieries in Wyoming
county, some GO or 100 miles away from
the scene of the Landslide No. 2 disas-
ter. At that time he was, and at pres
ent is, one of the finest specimens of
Celtic manhood to be found. In height
| he is some feet 2, broad across the
chest. red-haired and with a, voice that
| in its gentlest tones bears a, striking
resemblance tao a steam siren.

ly. I put my coat under him and gave
hi ma good swallow of whiskey. 1 had
heard old miners say it was always
best in cases of the kind to make
ready for long siege, so / took stock
of what we had. There were three
lamps, box of matches, half flask
of rum and our three dinner pals. The
food, if used carefully, would last US
about a day and half Then we
would have to have some water. Of
course there was water in the slump
but we din't want to use that unless
we had to.
After about half an hours search
l found a spring, dirty with coal dust.
I put the food on the floor and, talk
ling the dinner pals, filed them all,
We then moved the Hungarian to the
water, which was about so feet from
the cave-in and up in a breast, where
we established headquarters. As we
would have to be in darkness most of
the time the lamp was put out and
we sat in darkness.
You all know what darkness in
mine means" continued Reddy, after
a pause. 1T is past blackness. There
is no word to fit it. You kind of feel
like as if you We're in jelly, for ghs

some more of the precious whiskey and
he came to long enough to tell US to put

that with three other men and an en-
gineer l went down into Landslide
shaft No. 2. and little I thought al the
time l would not see the blessed light
again for almost a week. We were to
work in distant gallery of the mine,
where the vein had played out. Our
job for which only picked men We're
used. was to rob the coal pillars that
support the roof. The other men with
me were Hughey Morton, rest his soul,
and Hunk named Big Ben Vasak
on account of his enormous stature.
We rode over to the gallery in a mule
car and set to work. We had blown
down on pillar and were retreating to
the next when the engineer received a
call and left u.s. saying he would be
back shortly and to stay at work until
then. Lighting our clays, we sat down
foreninst his return. There was nc
damp anywhere around that region and
smoking was allowed Hughey Morton

the mule boy. L had, and he came to
get it.
Just then there was a tearing crash
and a cry like a soul that is lost. There
was rush of wind and our open lamps
went out l sat there some minutes
afraid to move. Then | heard a groan
and lit match. Where Hughey Nor
Ton sat there was great wall of earth
and ore stretching up to the roof The
Hungarian lay crying and groaning, a
big rock on both legs. The mule boy
was the first to speak. There's been a
landslide from the top of the breast"
he said, and Hughey's caught That
was no landslide I said: the whole
bloody seven miles of roof has given

began to tear at the wall. Twas no use.

| were like lead from WEAKNESS and the
| little hole in the bank was no bigger.
They'll have US out in no time,
| said the mule boy. But I was not so

| before where the rescuers only found

the French king. The members of the
American committee at that time were
Benjamin Harrison reat-grandfather
of President Benjamin Harrison), Ben
jamin Franklin, John Dickinson, Thorn
as johnson and John Day. The ques-
ton then debated was. whether if the
colonies should be forced to form them
selves into an independent state France
would enter into any treaty or alliance
with them for commerce or defense,
or both, and the outcome was a series
of treaties between France and the
United States which had an important
bearing upon the results of the Revo-
lutionary war. Between these two
events there has been a period of 1913
years. during which time q treaties
or International agreements We're con-
Guided at Paris by representatives of
the United States. During the war
for independence all the treaties en-
tered into by this country were drawn
at Paris.
Not only have many of our most i'm
portant treaties been concluded at Pa
ris, but that city has been the point
at which almost innumerable confer
ences have been held by the represen-
tatives of our government with those
of other nations to which almost
as much importance has been attached
as to the compacts that have been
drawn. As an instance of this, the con-
ferences held by the Wolcott bimetal-
lie commission We're, very many OF
them, in Paris. During the civil war
most of the official business between
our government and the nations of con-
tnental Europe was transac ted at Pa
ris. In fact. there is no place in the
world beyond the boundaries of the
country itself. which has had so impor-
tant a bearing on the history of the
nation as the metropolis of France.
