TEN MINERS DEAD
Killed by Explosion Tn Indian Ter ritory Shaft.

Killed by Explosion In Indian Ter ritory Shaft. SOUTH M'ALESTER, I. T., Jan. 15. Ten miners are now known to have lost their lives in the explosion Monday evening in mine No. of the Milby 6 Dow Mining company at Dow, I. T.
 The ten men who lost their lives were the only persons i'll the pit. All the bodies were recovered, and as none was burned the conclusion is that death was due to after damp. The explosion did not injure the shaft, which was a new one, and the fire that followed was put out before it did much dam- age.
 The sound of the explosion was heard plainly at the surface. and rescuers inn mediately went to work The explosion occurred at a depth of 24O feet. The machinery was not injured, and min CTS working at the mouth of the pit descended as soon as safety would permit.
 The bodies were found close together. The fire was extinguished before it had reached any of them. The victims had been in the employ of the company for some time, and most of them were men with families.
 The mine had not yet been thorough ly opened. Experienced mining men say it is remarkable that gas should have accumulated in sufficient quanti- ty in new mine to cause an explo- sion

Syndicate Miller Must Serve Ont Ten
 Year Sentence.
 NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-The court of appeals has reversed the order of the appellate division of the supreme court, second department, granting a new trial to Miller of Franklin syndi- cate fame.
 The court has affirmed the judgment of the trial court, convicting him of larceny.
 The opinion was written by Judge O'Brien, and all concur. The defend ants first appearance before the pub lie was as a member of a prominent church in Brooklyn, in the work of which he seems to have taken an active part.
 William +. Miller was convicted of grand larceny by a jury in the borough of Brooklyn. He was charged with defrauding depositors who placed their money in the Franklin syndicate, of which he was the head, to whom he agreed to pay 520 per cent per year on all deposits.
 He was sentenced to prison for ten years. The appellate division granted a new trial, but the court of appeals holds that his first trial was fair one.

WHERE RILEY's FOLKS LIVE.

Greenfield, where James Whitcomb Riley's ''home folks live, is a thriving Indiana town, some twenty miles east of the state capital on the old National road, ''the main highway from East to West-historic in it's day. running be- tween Washington and $. Louis" In the melodious verse of Greenfeld's be- loved poet, the place figures as a mod est little village, nestling costly amid its native woods and fields, and teem- ing with hearts that throb in neighbor- ly love and good fellowship-a place where everyone is content with the quiet village life and interests, and where "Howdy, Jimr' is uttered with heartfelt sincerity. Such was the Greenfield of other years. The Green field of to-day, trim in it's modern dress of up-to-date culture and metro politan airs. is as din arent as it's pop ular poet from the barefoot country lad of former times. Even the Riley homestead bears traces of modern handiWork. But "Old Brandywine" is still 'sthe same old stream" and the s'old swimmin' hole," and the gnarled old trees, under which Almon Keefer used to read aloud from ssTales of the Ocean," are as they were in the poets boyhood. The hearts of the home folks" too, are unchanged, and each passing year only deepens their love and pride for the s.Greenfield boy" who is still claimed as tour Jim,'' al- though he has lived for years in In- ianapolis.-Ladeis' Home Journal.

OLD CLOCKS HIS FAD.

Ashtabula, Ohio, has a clocl, collao- Tor, now @ years of age. who since ms youth has devoted himself to his hobby. 'o iiis
 His name is Silas Fuller. and for years he has lived alone in . littla old house, cooking his own IueaTs and AZ toying the companionshin of his ha- loved clocks. The house is filled with grandfather clocks md shalf CLOCKS, and curious clocks of all sorts some of them minus the cases
 MT Fuller began gathering his traas- ures long before old clocks became tha valuable possessions that they now ara and the incidents of his life affordaI nm unusual facilities for picking them up.
 He is an expert mechanic and in- ventor, and invented a machine for pairing apples which was a great suc- cess. In the intervals that elapsed be- tween his inventions he travelled. And he diden't go by luxurious palace cars. either. He went on foot, carrying with him a kit.of tinkering tools, with which he managed to work out his board and lodging along the way.
 At every house where he stopped he always inquired if they had an old clock which they wanted to dispose of. Very often they had, and the nominal price which 8was asked for the old wreck he paid in tinkering jobs.
 In this way he travelled all over the lake region, far up along the St. Law renee and into Newfoundland, covering between 1865 and 1883 some 27.OO0 miles.
 From every trip he brought back with him clocks. which he proceeded to put in repair when they needed 1t. One clock he has made himself. taking eight years in the building of it. It not only records the time of day, but the day of the week, the rising and set ting of both sun and moon, and the movements of the seasons.
 But old age is now creeping apace over Mir. Fuller, and he is no longer able to go on with his work and his numerous inventions Recently he has been compelled to give up his hermit like existence and take up his home with his son, w. s. Morgan Fuller. His own little house is closed and locked, and the clocks are left alone in the darkness. For this reason he has de cided to part with his treasures. Phil adelphia North Americans

Manager Shea and ths other men back of the New London team are loyal 10 Bristol and will be heard from at the next league meeting. The New London Day in a column article last evening gives reasons why Bristol should be kept in the league from a New London standpoint It says among other things: Taking it alto- gether New London. if it sticks by it's own interests, should give Waterbury the marble heart and vote to let Bris- tol back into the league. What Is true about New London is also true in re- gard to Norwich, and for that matter there is no special reason why any team in the state should prefer Water bury to Bristol. I'M eriden Journal.
