,N0N.UNIoN MINERS ATTACKED.
The Union Men Destroy Property Belonging to
the Mine.
(By the Associated Press.)

Vincennes, Ind, Nov. 19.--Three hun
dred union miners from Washington,
Princeton, Petersburg, Linton, Sullivan
and Blackwell came here during the
night and early today marched to the
shaft of the Protest Hill Coal Mine
Company, where non-union miners are
employed and closed the shaft. They
destroyed property, assaulted a number
of miners and are still in the vicinity
of the mine. The entire city is excited
and grave trouble is feared
Owing to a recent strike the mine was
not being operated at night and but one
man, the Waterman, Duck Asbell was
on duty. Asbell says he was seized by
the leaders of the miners, who took him
to the furnace door, threatening to burn
him alive, but that others interfered.
He was then beaten almost senseless
and placed under guard while fifty of
the crowd went to a shack occupied by
half dozen miners, where a general
fight resulted, in which Perry Collins,
an attorney of Washington, who was
visiting the owner of the shack, and
William Scott and Joe Devine, non-un-
ion miners, were badly beaten and left
in a serious condition. The union men
then returned to the mine, stopped the
pump, burned all the tools they could
find and after leaving instructions that
they would return in case the mine was
started and the scale not paid marched
back to town and disbanded.

AN IMAGINARY REALM.
The Name "Gombroon' and How Deeuincey
Originated it.

gentleman at the Supreme court
building yesterday fished out an old pa
per that gives the history of the name
of "Gombroom, Senator Vance's home on
Black Mountain. 1t was written by some
one acquainted with the writings of De
Quincy.
This history of the now familiar name
of Courtroom, is told as follows:
Thomas De Quincy created an mag
mary realm called 'Gombroom,' which
was for years the subject of his most
earnest thoughts. Probably nothing was
ever more real to him, the great essay
list, than that existing realm of magma
ton, all compact. the far off Island of
Gombroom-his dream realm-the joy Of
such escape from the confines of space
and OF time-airy structure. Rousseau
fled to his Cloud-land whenever the world
seemed cruel or neglected. His dream
realm was peopled with perfect creatures
with whom he held daily converse. The
we'll defined, carefully mapped out king
doms of the Imagination are much less
frequent much more interesting and
valuable"

Pittsburg, Pa, Nov. f9.-The annual
meeting of the General Missionary Com

said union would bring everlasting
trouble and contends that among four
hundred million Chinese there was room
for competition.

Civil War, aroused the committee by
his vigorous talk. II want to see this

Signal 10 Stop the 0ncOm-
inc Train.

Chicago Nov 19.-The denSeSt fog ever
experienced in Chicago caused numerous
collisions between trains early today. In
these collisions two men were killed, two
were so badly injured that they probably
will die, and fifteen others were seriously
hurt
Scores of others, the police say, were
injured in minor accidents due to the fog,
but as they were able to assist them
selves no official reports were made.
The more serious accidents occurred on
the Metropolitan and the Lake Street
Elevated roads.
Collisions between vehicles and sur
face cars were frequent, but while a
great number of people were injured by
them none of the injuries incapacitatad
them and the damage was chiefly to the
colliding objects themselves.
The fog at an early hour was so thick
that persons standing on the sidewalks
could scarcely distinguish street cars
passing within few feet of them and
motormen kept their gongs changing
constant warning.
The collision on the Metropolitan was
between trains going the same way, as
was the case in other accidents. Both
trains We're crowded, many passengers
standing on the rear platforms. On the
first train these were almost the only
ones to suffer. The motorman slowed
up going around curve and while wait
ing for a signal to increase speed the
Humboldt Park Express train crashed
into the rear car without warning.
Thomas Meeney was killed
On the Lake Street Elevated the acct
dent was almost exactly similar. The
people injured were standing on the
rear platform, with the exception of
Mum, the motorman, on the rear train.
He said he did not see the train ahead
until too late.
Later in the day news of another col
lision which had occurred on the Metro
politan, became public. One train was
overtaken by another. Otto Leinhert,
the conductor of the first train, remained
on the rear platform frantically waving
signal lantern, while the passengers
who had been standing with him fled
inside, His efforts were in vain. He
was crushed and died at the hospital
several hours later. In all there were
nine collisions on elevated structures
during the fog.

COTTON ESTIMATE.
What it Costs to Ship Cotton to Liverpool and
Burlington

A gentleman in this city, whose brother
is a big cotton merchant in the South,
received a telegram from him yesterday
giving an estimate of the cotton yield for
most of the Southern States. This es-
innate with that for North Carolina and
the other States, makes total yield of
.995 900 for the entire South. The gen
tleman who made this estimate is bank
ing on its accuracy.
A prominent cotton merchant said yes
terday that the rates on cotton IN North
Carolina are something fierce. why
ship cotton from Norfolk to Liverpool,
he said, 'at from eighteen to twenty
cents per hundred pounds, while the
charges from Raleigh to Burlington are
twenty one cents per hundred.

Coulter Too Deep.

Trouble is being had at different
points in the State with County Treasur-
ers who are taking more than their
share of the school fund collections. The
law says this shall be two per cent, but
some treasurers are taking as high as
five per cent. The State Superint endent
of Public Instruction has written to the
counties where this has been done and
in one instance the treasurer at once
refunded the s6456 which had been his
overcharge.

The Treatment of Floors.

Perhaps one of the greatest differ
ences between the old-time house
cleaning and modern housecleaning
lies in the treatment Of floors. Rugs
are best when it comes to cleaning.
OF course, the floors must be polished.
If the floors are not Of hardwood, a
coat Of paint is the first application;
after that there should be two or
three coats Of varnish, then q rubbing
with sandpaper, and after that good
oiling and polishing. The floor is then
In good condition for several months
to come. There are many housekeep-
ers who make a practice Of having
the floors rubbed over weekly with
kerosene; but this is not cleanly, and
the fact that it proves ruinous to any
light gown that trails over it is argu-
ment sufficient against the practice.
Painted or vanished floors may be
kept in good condition by wiping with
a damp cloth and then rubbing with q
dry woolen cloth-this, Of course, is
for floors that never become badly
soiled. Kitchen or pantry floors may
be- washed with skim milk; If very
dirty, with soap and water. A scrub
bing brush should never be used on
q painted or varnished floor.

The cape is circular and fitted BY
means of shoulder darts. The hood IS
graceful and carefully shaped, open

cut in sections and fits snugly at the
throat while it flares freely as it curves

Dust and Disease Germs.

Cleanliness and health 60 hand in
hand, whether cleanliness and godli-
ness do or not. The way to keep
a kitchen clean is to keep it free from
disease germs-that is, to keep our
food which is cooked in the kitchen
free from unwholesome elements,
which cause # to spoil and to be
dnwholesome when eaten.
The clothes We wear should be
brushed free from dust, because the
air is full Of impure germs. Those
who work in dirty, dusty factories or
other places like them should have
their clothes beaten every day after
they come home. Grease spots should
be carefully cleaned off working
clothes, because such grease spots
hold dust, and may become culture
places for impurities received from
the air. If proper precautions are
exercised and the house is kept as
clean as it is possible to keep it the
health Of the inmates will be good.
There is a great difference between
a thing being scientifically clean and
clean in the ordinary understanding
Of the term. A house filed with tine
germs Of tuberculosis may be clean to
all appearances. and one which has
just been disinfected scientifically may
have indelible stains of previous wear
and tear on the walls and carpets,
yet one is a wholesome dwelling and
the other is not clcan.-New York

Woman,s Tailored Shirt Waist.

far better than any other sort. The
