the whirlpool rapids OF Niagara in a boat

is not the first TO show foolhardiness at the

ately ended their lives by jumping over the
cataract and foolish people who were swept
away while in pleasure boats. there is a
long list Of men who either attempted 10
shoot the fall or to escape from the brink
before the current carried them over
These men were aetuated by desire for
notoriety. There was nothing to be gained
By their insane act except the experience,
and this could be of no benefit to the world
at large. They were moved by a reckless
disregard for life. and in some cases. they

FIRE CREEK. W. va. March s.--
The first reports Of the explosion 70
day at the Red Ash mines were great

since midnight were that there were
fully fifty miners entombed instead Of
l25. only ten bodies have been taken
out so far, instead OF 81 as previously
reported, but it is believed that none
Of the forty that are still in the mine
win ever be found alive
The explosion happened as the men
were going into the mine in groups

they were strung along in this man
ner for over niIe, so that the work

After Two Years Unconsciousness
She Passes Away Without Ex-
planning Her Strange Case

SAN FRANCISCO, March S.-After
two years of Inconsistencies Miss
Elida Wilbur died today.
In February, 1898. Miss Wilbur was
found in her room unconscious with
the gas turned on. She was lying on
sofa with novel in her hand and
1t was at first supposed that she had
committed suicide, but Investigation
disproved this supposition, and 1t be-
came known that she had fallen asleep
while reading and that a gust Of wind
had extinguished the light leaving the
gas 20 escape into the room and rob
the young lady of her senses.
The best physicians in the city were
called and every known means of re-
storing consciousness were applied
without result, Her friends and nurses
were rewarded by brief, very brief,
periods of consciousness and once or
twice she spoke and it is said that her
words were these: mo one loves me

MONTGOMERY. w. Va, March g..
b. an explosion OF gas in the Red Ash
mines this morning 70 men were inn
prisoned. Forty dead have already

ty is still hard at work. News Of the
disaster swept through the town like
an electric shock. and within a few
minutes hundreds Of men, women and
children, relatives OF the unfortunate
miners, were crowded upon the scene
Of the disaster.
As the conviction that the rescue Of
the entombed men alive was hopeless
forced itself upon the grief-stricken
crowds, they became frantic in their

1t belongs TO J. Fred Effinger Of

the mountain side. above the water.
and the coal is similar to that found

count 1t is said here the accident can
not pe caused by fire damp nor by
gas, but from dust, as was the case
in one of the tragedies some years ago

The district is wild one on R,lsh

The miners occupied dwellings In the
vicinity Of the mines While the
mines are in very rugged country.
Yet the town OF Thurmond is one Of

Denies COrbett's Completely In
the Oregon HOId-Up.
BROWNELL'S LETTER is READ
Upon Which Evidence Montana Sena-
tor Relterates his Charge Of
COrbett's Corruption.

WASHINGTON. Mar. Sat the
conclusion Of the morning business In
the senate today, Simon Cor.) called uu
the resolution on the seating OF Quay
He addressed the senate in answer
to a speech Of Carter, delivered yes
terday, In the course OF which the
Montana senator adverted to the rea-
sons which induced him to vote agains,
Corbett. who WAS the appolntee OF tn
governor Of Oregon.
tie said Carter made the distinctly.
charge that Corbett had corrupted the
legislature and defeated the desire OF
the people % oregon. He could not.
ne said, permit this unjust and un-
true charge to go unchallengel.
Simon said he was a member az
the Oregon legislature at that time
and declared that Corbett was IN no
way responsible for the failure of the
legislature TO elect a senator nor for
the failure Of the house to organize.
The failure Of the Oregon house to or
ganize, he said, was due to former
Senator Mitchell, and to him alone.
and he denied the imputation OF cor
ruption on the part of Corbett.
Simon then directed attention 10
the fact that Quay. as a member OF the
senate was paired against Corbett.
and said on the principles OF justice
Quay should be stopped by his paired
vote against Corbett.
Carter replied to simon's statement
He had not spoken with a view of
making a personal assault upon Cor
bett.
assigned as a reason for voting
against Corbett the belief | entertained
then and which l still entertain. that
the proceeding In Oregon OF the leRis-
lature was a revolutionary proceed
ing to which corbett was party
Carter then had read letter dis
cussing the situation from George C.
Brownell, member of the Oregon leg
islature. He followed this letter with
the assertion that Corbett and the gov
ernor Of the state were in comhina
tion not only to defeat Mitchell. but to
elect Corbett. The latter's entire ef-
fort, ne said. was to prevent an or
ganization Of the Legislature in order
that he might secure the appointment.
In reply Simon said he was induced
TO believe that Mr.. Carter's statements
We're somewhat warped and exaggerat-
ed by the peculiar atmosphere Of Mon
tana politics, in which, IL what had
been heard about the capital during
the past few weeks approximated the
truth, it was the general practice to
use money in big figures.
In fact, he said, 1T has been said
that one gentleman in Montana. a can
didate for an honorable office, has sep
arated himself from about $500, ,OOO."
He did not attempt to assert the
truth of the case, but he felt that Car
Ter might have obtained his ideas
about the corrupt use of money nearer
home than was the state OF Oregon.
