An Ambiguous Telegram.

A good story illustrates the danger
that lies in ambiguously worded tele-
graph dispatches. The wife of New
York lawyer of large means and ade-
quate knowledge of the value of the
dollar had gone to an auction sale of
laces, of which she is inordinately
fond, and had seen some pieces which
took her fancy. The price was $4,000.
and she hesitated to make the purchase
without asking her husband whether
she should do SO. She did so, and re-
ceived this reply: mo price too
high" Madame promptly bought the
laces, and so struck was she by the
generosity, not to say gallantry, Of her
husband that she added to her store
$4,000 worth beside. When her hus-
band returned that evening, she learn
ed that the dispatch he had sent read
this way: mo. Price too high. -

Chicago. H., Nov. 1Sth.--Mr. r.. A.
Wade. the celebrated criminal lawyer
of this city, whose opinion on legal
matters is unregistered, has recently
made public his unqualified opinion on
the matter of medicine. Mr.. Wade
says that rheumatism and Kidney

Their that there is no case of the kind
that can not be cured by Dodds Kid

He has no fear of being set right by
any of his medical friends, for both
statements have a living and indisput-
able proof in the person of the great
lawyer himself, who, as a result of
rheumatism and Kidney Trouble from
which he suffered for years. became
totally blind.
Physicians, the best in the country
pronounced his case incurable and
hopeless, but Dodds Kidney Pills cured
him. restored his sight, drove away the

Terrible Mine Disaster Resulting
From an Explosion.


Bluefeld, w. Va, Nov. 16.-Five dead
bodies have been taken from the Baby
mine at Pocahontas. Va. Several 9TH
er persons are unaccounted for and
twenty-five persons have been rescued
more or less severely burned. At 3
o'clock yesterday morning 1t was dis
covered that the Baby mine of the Po-
cahontas Colliery company, was on
fire. An alarm was sent in and the
fire company responded promptly. In
q very short time after the fire fight
ers had reached the mouth OF the
mixes and were attempting to ex-
tinguish the flames. some Of the fire
men and others having rushed inside
the mine to ascertain the extent OF the
trouble and to assist miners en-
tombed therein, terrific explosion oc-
Cured and many miners and their
friends were more or less injured. 1t
Is supposed that the mines caught fire
from a defective electric light wire.
Five bodies had been recovered up to
p. m, and it is uncertain how
Many More Are Dead
though it is now known that there are
several, perhaps eight or ten men, still
In the mines unless they succeeded in
making their escape through the Tug
river entrance. Twenty-Five persons
have been rescued, all more or less
burned, some seriously and perhaps
fatally. The injured were carried to
their homes in wagons and all the ply
sicians in Pocahontas have been busy
al; day attending the injured. One or
two other explosions have followed
that of the early morning and others
are hourly expected. The mine is still
burning and clouds of smoke are con-
stantly issuing from its mouth. The
fan has now been stopped and as soon
as possible to do SO the mine will be
re-entered with the hope of extinguish-
ing the fire.
In 1884 Pocahontas experienced like
occurrence in which over 100 lives were
lost.

furious northwest gale yesterday the
steamer Emerald became disabled by
the breaking OF her machinery when

power. the boat fell into the trough of
the sea and soon water-logged. Sig
nails OF distress were hoisted and the
life saving crew from the Point au
Barques station put out to the rescue.
The heavy sea running made the task
of taking off the crew of nine men a
desperate one. but all were safely got

thoroughly benumbed by the freezing
spray which dashed over the wreck.
and would have been unable to hold

Now York, Nov. II. Defalcations
amounting. it is claimed, to 100000 have
baen discovered in the accounts of the
Williamsburg Savings bank, an insti-
tuition conducted at Williamsburg in
the suburbs of Brooklyn. Gen. ]. v.
Meserole. the president of the bank, is
authority for the statement that the
rarties implicated in the affair are
Harry f.. Corbett, former paying
teller Of the bank, who died Nov. 2, and
George Zolleinhofer, receiving teller,
who. it is alleged, gave the first IN
formation leading to the discovery.
The bank is fully protected, 1T is said,
by the bonds of both Corbett and Zol-
leinhofer. Harry L. Corbett had been
in the employ of the bank for eighteen
years. He was looked upon as man
of exemplary habits ard not the slight
est suspicion attached to him up to
the time of his death.
According to Gen. Meserole, on Fri
day of last week, George Zolleinhofer,
one Of the receiving tellers, went to
Cashier William Burns and
Confessed to Him
that he (Zolleinhofer) and Corbett had
for the past two or three years taken
funds from the institution for the pur-
pose of stock gambling, and that so
far as he could estimate the amount
that had been lost was between $4,000
and 100000. Cashier Burns had Zollein-
hofer repeat his confession to Presi-
dent Meserole and a meeting OF the
trustees of the bank followed.
The examination was not concluded
that day, nor is it yet concluded. but
Irregularities enough were found to
show that Zolleinhofer had not exag-
gerated the extent of the defalcations.
Zolleinhofer, after making his con-
fession, placed himself in the hands or
the trust companies and is aiding them
in their investigation of the books. He
was, with one exception, the Oldest
employe of the bank, having been with
the institution for thirty-three years.
He is sixty years old. Corbett died in
his apartments in Brooklyn of pneu-
monia on Nov. 2. He and his wife

yesterday afternoon at the army prov
