Tlatonla, Texas October 6-The
boiler of a gin situated six miles west
of Blatonia and belonging to Wink
WINFIELD, wealthy colored farmer,
exploded at about noon yesterday
with disastrous results. Five people
were killed outright and six badly
wounded are: Alice Watsn, Elite
Wlnkhcld, Eel Anderson, Della Cline,
Ruby Cline Pollon Wilson. The
wunded are: Alice Watson, Effie
Lee, Alb Bolton, Albert Martin, Wink
WINFIELD and Henry McAIlcken.
The last two mentioned are owners
and managers respectively of the gin
and are almost sure to die. The above
are all colored people except Henry
McMicken, who was in charge. The
gin house was totally destroyed. The
boiler was blown 100 yards out of po-
sitlon and piles of iron and debris
were strewn In every direction. Not
single portion of the gin was left
standing and there is nothing to indi-
cate where the gin once stood, Four
of the dead are children and were IN
the gin yard at the TIME -of the ex-
ploslon and were blown yards away.
The body of Flonle WINFIELD was, af-
ter some time, found In n hog pen,
thirty yards distant where 1t had
been blown, and when foNnd the flesh
had been torn by the hogs from the
body so as to render her almost I'M
recognizable.
The, accident is supposed to have
been caused by the water having been
allowed to get too low in the boiler.

NEWSPAPERS IN RUSSIA.

Journals Are Permitted to Print Only
News Authorised by tho Censor.
The Russian government has gone
into the business of publishing news
itself, has established regular press
bureau for the circulation of news and
supplies all homo newspapers now
with foreign news. State Councillor
Naratoff is the editor-in-chief of
news on questions of current politics.
Should Russian newspaper dare
to handle news in manner
different from that in which it is
furnished the censor takes hold
at once. And II is a pretty hard
case for which the censor can
not find handle, as was shown by
Count Uvaroff when he found an ex-
cuse for warning an editor enemy by
citing his eulogy of Pushkin. The edi-
tor had said nothing against the gov
eminent implying disrespect or crftt-'
cism of the government in his arsf@es
but Uvaroff found that Pushkin HAD
no position in the government service,
was neither captain nor head of
department and was only verse
writer So the editor YVES ..warned. :, =.
and warning is a serious thing, for
it means that the next offense may be
punished summarily by the suppress
sion of the paper. Thus one paper, the
Gazeta Gatzuka, was warned once and
then suppressed for @want of respect
for the nobility" The motive of
minister's refusal to authorize a new
publication are sometimes curious
enough. For instance, not more than
three years ago the permission to pub
fish private newspaper in Tamboy
was refused on the ground that the
necessity for such publication there.
has not ripened yet" and that "the'
local official paper is quite efficient for
the place" Sometimes a refusal is
based on the fact that the local censor,
having various other official duties has
work enough without a new paper

1.-THE Singer Manufacturing Com
pany, of .149 Broadway, New York,
show their usual American enterprise
by having a very creditable exhibit,
located in Group XIII, Glass 10, at the
Paris International Exposition, where
they show to great advantage the cele-
brated Singer Sewing Machine which
is used in every country on the globe,
both for family use and for manufac-
turing purposes. The writer was high
ly pleased with this display and OBJ
served with much satisfaction that 1t
was favorably commented upon by
visitors generally.
The Grand Prize was awarded by
the International Jury to Singer Sew
ing-Machines for superior excellence
in design, construction, efficiency and
for remarkable development and adap-
ton to every stitching process used
in either the family or the factory.
Only One Grand Prize for sewing
machines was awarded at Paris, and
this distinction of absolutely superior
merit confirms the previous action of
the International Jury at the Worlds
Columbian Exposition, in Chicago,
where Singer machines received 81
distinct awards, being more than were
received by all other kinds of sewing
machines combined.
Should 1t be possible that any OF
our readers are unfamiliar with the
celebrated Singer Machine, we would
respectfully advise that they call at
any of the Singer salesrooms which
can be found In all cities and most
towns in the United States"

the local supply Of cotton which the

very advantageous, in that the uncom-

Wilkesbarre, Pa, October 6.-The
crisis in the coal miners strike seems
to be approaching. AS was stated in
the Associated Press dispatches from
here yesterday, both sides are playing
a waiting game and each imagines
that 1t has the wining card up its
sleeve. 1t is now up to President
Mitchell to decide what he is going
to do. If he delays with the idea the
operators will make a better offer he
Is liable to delay a settlement of the
strike indefinitely. An analysis of
the 10 per cent increase offered shows
that the average miners wages would
not be Increased 10 per cent should
they return to work, but it is argued
1t is better than nothing; that is the
entering wedge and that if the Unit
ed Mine Workers keep their organiza-
ton intact they can compel the oper-
ators to make further concessions in
the years to come. It is said that
President Mitchell takes this. view
himself.

advices from Tampico, Mexico. state
that the Panucoa and Tames rivers,
which empty into the gulf at that
place, are on one of the biggest rises
in their history and great damage has
been done by the flood in the popu
lated and cultivated valleys above
there. At one point, near Chila Sta
ton, on the line of the Mexican Cen
trail railroads, the Tames is over fifty
miles wide, and has swept to destruc-
ton hundreds of houses occupied by
Mexican farmers and laborers. Many
deaths by drowning ard reported. All
the tributaries to these rivers south
and east of the state of San Luis Po-
tosl are out of their banks and have
washed away whole villages and
ruined thousands of acres Of land.

Denison, Texas, October Ga few
days since Miss Hill of the Ball High
school at Galveton wrote Superinten-
dent, Horn of the Sherman Public
schools suggesting that the contrlbu-
ton of 10 cents each by the public
school children in the state would tide
the Galveston schools over the embar-
rassment the hurricane occasioned and
sustain ten months school this year,
1900-1901. Whereas, If some relief is
not gotten the school can scarcely be
run over four or five months. Super
intendent Horn said yesterday: II
have not formally placed the matter
before the children yet, but scores of
them have called my attention to
what the Register has said about the

EYE TROUBLES.
Employmsnts That Should Be Avoided
by People with weak Eyes.

Employments That Should BE Avoided
by People with weak Eyes.
The changes which come to the eye
as result of age are beyond the pow
er of the individual to remedy. 1t is
true that the time for, the wearing of
glasses may be fastened by abuse of
the eyes, but with all possible care
that one may take, the eye that hither-
to has been normal, will need shortly
before, or 1t may be shortly after, the
the age of forty-fve the aid of glasses.
So universal is this that an oculist, in
his examination of the refraction of
the eye of his patient, can determine
accurately the number of his years.
The responsibility of much eye trou-
BILE, however, can be brought directly
home to the individual. 1t is due to
the reckless expenditure of the eye>
sight. The service of the eyes is de-
manded in any and every light. The
eyes are most tried by reading fine
print or doing the fine stitches of sew
ing or embroidery. II the print is on
glossy paper whose smooth surface re-
fleets the light the effect is bad upon
the eyes. If the embroidery is to be
done on satin or upon canvas, with its
bewildering maze of .meshes, the strain
is soon shown in the redness and the
WEAKNESS Of the eyes. Women's eyes
suffer greatly from the tax of wells. It
only shows the great adaptability
which the eyes share with every other
part OF the body that the wells, with
their intricate meshes and numerous
dots of embroidery and chenille, do
not occasion more trouble with the
eyes than they do. The first thing to
do In selecting veil, il one has mer-
cy on the eyes, is to test its effect upon
the sight, to see that the weave is not
confusing and that the dots do not
come athwart the eyes,-Harper's Ba-
Ear.

all of indianapolis. They are: Engi-

were buried in each other and the
baggage cars were badly damaged.
The crews Of both trains jumped. The
southbound train was going slowly

northbound train was slowing up for
the station. otherwise the collision
would have resulted in heavy loss Of

time at Monticello, and this evidently
resulted in the confusion that gave

Convention OF Miners.

Hazleton, Pa, October S,-A repre-
sentative Of the Associated Press
learned today that Sheriff Harvey has
reached the limit of his patience in
regard to marching strikers and that
the marchers must obey his request
to remain within the pale Of the law
or take the consequences 1t is known
that he feels that he has been as
lenent with the crowds as he could
possibly be, and that the action of
several hundred men in running
across the property of Calvin, Pardee
" Co.. at Lattlmer yesterday, has had
much to do with the decision to be
more stern hereafter. Last night "a
carload of sherlff's deputies, fully
armed, lay in the Lehigh Valley rail
road yards, ready to start at a mo-
ments notice. A locomotive is nearby
with steam up and the telegraph op-
orators on the Lehigh Valley system
In this region are on duty for the
purpose of sending messages to Sher
if Harvey and to the chief of the coal
and iron policemen. 1t was learned
that owing to the rumors of contem-
plated marches tomorrow morning al
the companies in this region have ex-
ira coal and iron policemen on duty.
All the Lehigh Valley Coal company
colllerles in this city are heavily
guarded. The company has squads
of police brought here from Wilkes
barre, Mahanoy City, Centrala and
Lost Creek. Sheriff Harvey called on
President Mitchell at the strike head
quarters tday and requested him as
president of the United Mine Work

strikers refrain from further march
ing, and that If he did not, Mitchell
would be held morally responsible for
whatever happened. Ny Mitchell, it

month in their salaries was granted.
Major Hall. treasurer Of the commits,

also pending in two of the other de.
partments. The grievances are based
upon the recent increase in the num-

rations.
