MONTEREY, MEXICo, July 20.-Thc
government authorities have been mott
fed of terrific catastrophe at Mate
buala, a thriving mining camp south of
Monterey, in tho State of San Luis
Potosi. Fire broke out in the La Pa2
Mine, and before The miners could reach
tho surface many of them were cntombcd
and either burned to death or suffocated.

by smoke and persisted. His body has

Hard on Mill Operatives.

"The condition of mill operatives in
Now England is deplorablc,' said Mr..
II. X. Wallace, of New Hampshire.
"Compctition among textile manufac-
turcrs is 80 strong that wages have been
cut to almost nothing. Many women
who work in tho mills are compelled to
support themselves on n wage of 81 a
week. This means insufficient food and
scant wearing apparel, and failing health
suffers from tho close confinement and
hard work. In many respects the slaves
in the South before tho war Jared better
than these people,"

Something More About the White Rock Acade

WASHINGTON, d. c., July 2S, l000.-
Mr.. ID. A. Smith, Walhalla, S. C.-Doar
Mr.. Smith The enclosed lotter. written
by my brothor, tho Rov. Oliver Johnson,
shows on it's face that it is private lot

pcctcd to go down, telling him of tho
occasion, and jolliod him about not hav-
ing place himself on the program, say
ing to him, in a laughing way, that owl
dontly the South Union folks had not
kept up with him-did not know that he
had preached to delighted audiences in
metropolitan churches and boon com
mcnted on by the daily press; that he
had declined pastOrates in Pennsylvania
and Massachusetts,; had served Chap
lain in both Housos of Congress, and
only recently had electrified large as
scmbly at Chicago. With mock gravity,
| wondered what the good of so much
earthly glory was, he, an old student,
having been overlooked in tho Semi Con
tennial exercises of tho South Union
school. This raillory on my part will
explain tho bantcring air he assumes in
the first part of his letter. He then re-
fers to the closing exhibition of the
school twenty years ago when ho took
part in a defamation contest and Henry
Bomann was down from Walhalla with n
brass band.

Mason,s Story.

MasOnis Story.
A Register reporter called on Mr.. O.
P. Mason, who has received some
notoriety of late in Republican party
circles, in regard to an alleged deal be-
tween him and Recorder Mcfarland.
Mason stated that he had not promised
to accept the position offered him by
Mcfarland. as it would almost be a
year until the position would be open,
that he only wanted to know fully what
the recorder expected and what he
would expect of him. He further stat
ed that he did this for the good of the
deceased recorders family, and would
in no way do them any damage or in
jury, as he had always been their
friend, and that his main object was
to have the family receive the benefits
of the unexpired term, and that he was
only to do the index work, which fee
would amount to about $500. He also
stated that he would be candidate for
the nomination of recorder after the
unexpired term had been filled. This
is the statement of Mr.. Mason, who
thinks the public has been misted by
the exchanged letters published.

Davis WILL REFLECT
AND BE GIVES AN OPPORTUNITY
TO TELL JUDGE JACKSON
A DIFFERENT STORY
ABOUT COUNTERFEIT MONEY.
The Judge Plainly Indicated That
He Did Not Believe the Statement
That 1t Was Found in the Bushes.
A CIarksburg Counterfeiting Case
to be Tried Here.

BENJAMIN Davis, the coal miner who
was arrested for passing counterfeit
money in houses in Alley G, and in
dicted by the grand jury of the Federal
Court, was arraigned for trial yester-
day morning. When Davis was brought
into the court room, he stated that he
had no, attorney and was penniless.
Judge Jackson looked about the court
room discovered c. P. Flick, and
notified him to defend the prisoner.
Mr.. Flick stated that he did not de-
sire to take up the case, but if it was
the wish of the Court he would do So
Judge jackson told him to proceed. A
short conference was held with Assis-
tant District Attorney Burdette, and
the indictment was sent back to the
jury room for correction. When the
paper was returned to the Court, Mr..
Flick announced that the defendant
would plead guilty of having counter
felt money in his possession.
Davis was then searchingly examin-
ed by the Court In reply to questions
by Judge Jackson, he said he came
from Ohio, and told practically the
same story he related to the Wheeling
police at the time of his arrest, claim
ing that he found the money in a clunp
Of bushes on the county road near
Zanesville. Judge Jackson said the story
did not sound plausible and warned
the prisoner to tell the truth before
sentence was pronounced. Davis re-
piled that his story was true.
Remand the prisoner to Jail until
consider this case" said the Judge,
adding that the tale bore the marks
of falsehOod upon it's face He advis-
ed Davis to think over the matter, and
decide to tell the whole truth about
where he got the money, before he is
brought into Court again.
On the way to the Jail, Davis told
the officers who accompanied him, that
he saw man hide the money in a
fence corner, and after the man left
he secured it. A brother of the pris-
oDer is understood to have served a
term in the Columbus penitentiary,
and it is thought that the prisoner Sc
cured the counterfeit coin from him.
An order Of removal was entered in
the cases of George Boccacio and his
wife, who are now confined in the
Clarksburg Jail. They will be brought
here for trial. The grand jury found
an indictment against the two for pass
ing counterfeit money.
