While making his way through Smoke House Hollow MT. Gross was startled by vicious snort, and in an instant he went headlong into the green vines. Three large and vicious bucks charged upon him like flash. Gross regained his feet and made a frantic leap for the limb of a large jack pine. He pulled himself up to safe height, the three enraged bucks mean while prancing around the tree. For an hour he was in this awful position call ing frantically for help. His hands be- came thoroughly benumbed with cold. Finally John Bitner. neighbor and several others came along and drove the deer away.

A SURVIVOR OF THE MONITOR MFRRIMAC FIGHT RESIDES IN

NEW LONDON.
 Sunday was the fortieth anniversary of the memorable sea fight between the Monitor and Merrimac in Hampton Roads, Va There are few survivors and New London claims one of them. He is Eugene Leahy, of Golden street, who was a stoker in the fire room of the Yankee cheese box on raft" Mrr. Leahy is at the present time prac- ticallv crippled by rheumatism. but for all his afiction he is bright and cheer full, and talks interestingly of his eX- periences on board the first iron-clad of the United. States navy.
 MT Leahy could recall but two men of the little band of fighters aboard the Monitor who are alive, One is Cap tain l.. N Stodder who Is at present supervisor of anchorages for the port of New York Captain Stodder was acting master on board the Monitor and was in charge of the deck. The other veteran is John Lang, who re- sides at Astoria, N. Y
 Tn the fight MT Leahy saw but little that was going on at the surface, but he heard enough, he says, to last life time. With about forty-five men he was below decks, His station was in the fireroom. It was good luck rather than good management, MT. Leahy be- lieves, that made the Monitor win. There were no regula tions or discipline among the green hands of the crew, and had the Merrimac's commander known on that eventful day that the Monitor was nearly out of shot there would have been a different ending The Merrimac was crippled and was never in action again.
 MT. Leahy speaks of the exciting events in his career as if they were but the ordinary incidents of a seafarer g life. The Monitor went to the bottom off Hatteras in December, 1862, but her deeds will never die, nor will the peo ple of the country ever tire of recitine how she and her gallant crew saved the navy from annihilation.
 Mr. Leahy's service on board the Monitor was not all his war experience for he served with gallantry on other vessels of the navy and was in several important battles.

THE ANNEXATION ISSUE.

Journals of the yicintage of Amerl- can sugar interests attempt to minlmlZe the prospect of Cuban annexatton They claim that there is now little or no an uexation sentiment, either here or Tn Cuba. This may be conceded, but those observers who predict the development of annexation sentiment in the event of an intolerable situation arising in Cuba foresee what American beet-raisers
 shut their eyes against. Representa- tive Payne, for example, is arguing not
 for annexation, but against it, and he
 favors legislation that shall stave 1t off. His contention that reciprocity will prevent annexation the New or leans Times Democrat designates as a threat unworthy of any serious con- sidera tion," and it enters upon an ar gument to show that annexation would inture American interests, menace so- cial equality and introduce a new race question

sEcrRED A CONTINUANCE.


 ". H. Crow was an attorney for a man under indictment for an assault, and the case had been continued seV- eral times on one preteXt and another, and was up again and the prosecution was insisting on going to trial. MT. Crows witnesses were not present, and to go to trial under the circumstances would surely result in a conviction of his client and just what to do he was at a loss to know The jury was in the box ready to be passed upon, and things were becoming desperate for MT Crow when all at once bright thought struck him, and. addressing his honor, he announced that the defence was ready for trial, but at the same time stated that he thought it was only fair to the court and all concerned to state that his client had been exposed to the smallpox and was just about due to break out with it. But" said he, "as far as am concerned, I have had smallpox and am not afraid of it, and 1T the others interested in the case are willing to proceed l ann
 The bluff worked like charm and 1t is needless to say that it was the unani- nous opinion of the prosecution judge and jury that they had better take no chances and the attorney got his con- tinuance It, however, is due to MT.

The cost of mining anthracite coal 70

rlous sizes, and lntcrmlxed with these
humps Is mixture of rocks. These
Jumps must be- broken and assorted
as to size before the anthracite is ready
for the market. since the economic use
Of anthracite requires that the Jumps
must be Of as near uniform size as pos
sible and as there is a greater demand
for the intermediate sizes. the larger
Jumps must be broken down to smaller
sizes This elaborate preparation
greatly increases the cost of the coal.
Anthracite Is prepared for market In
what Is known as the coal breaker. a
large building, usually built Of timber
but sometimes of steel and iron. The
coal is broken up by machinery con-
slsting of toothed rolls, after which It
Is screened in circular revolving
screens. The slate is picked out by
hand by boys and old men, who sit
along the chutes through which the
coal passes AS far as possible the
work Of sorting sizes and picking out
impurities is done by machinery. AS
the illustration shows, the general plan
Is to sort the coal over inclined bars,
then to pass what goes through the
bars over revolving or shaking screens,
while what goes through goes directly
to the loading bins, or else is broken
up into smaller sizes by rolls and then
separated into the various sizes by
screens. The capacity of the average
breaker is from 2OO0 to 1000 tons of
coal day.

Cnrions Surgical Case.

The popular belief that a man who
receives a wound from a bullet in the
heart is bound to die therefrOm almost
instantaneously is now seen to be I'M
founded, for at the last meeting of the
French Academy of Medicine DR.. Pey-
rat told of a man who was restored to
health after his heart had been pierced
by ball from a revolver. The wound
ed man, he said, was placed in hos
pital in Paris, and Dr. Launay, a noted
surgeon, operated on him there with
great success. According to Dr.. Pey-
rat this is the only case of the kind
on record. True, statistics recently
compiled by DR.. Dentu, show that out
of every hundred persons who receive
wounds in the heart from swords or
daggers from thirty to forty-two are
cured, but, though medical books have
been carefully searched, no record has
been found in them Of a man who
has been rescued from death after his
heart had been perforated by ball.

anthracite from Carbonate by the
canal and the gravity railroad.
From this time on the trade rapidly
increased, canals and gravity roads
multiplied, only to be replaced by loco
motives on their advent. One of the
first locomotives used in this country
was for the purpose of hauling anthra-
cite.
The process of mining anthracite coal
consists Of two misunderstanding and
closed work. Stripping is the process
where the coal lies near the surface
of the ground as it does in many in
stances in the anthracite field. The
closed work is that done under ground,
or at the bottom of shaft. Owing to
the character of the deposits the room
and pillar system is employed. When
the shaft cannot be placed so as to
reach the lowest point Of the deposit
tn coal below is reached by inside Or
blind shafts or inside slopes These
shafts. which are sometimes sunk to a
depth of over 1000 feet, usually have

pumpway and ladder, and two or more
for hosting. A common size of the
hosting compartments is 7X12 feet.
The coal is brought to the bottom of
the shaft from the inside or blind shafts
by means of small cars, and in some in
stances sheet iron chutes, according to
the inclination of the shaft, according
as the blind shaft slopes up or down
from the bottom of the shaft from the
surface.
Anthracite is mined with hand rotary
drills and by black blasting powder
Dynamite or giant powder is used fol-
rock work, sometimes for driving
qangways. and in some locations fol

necessitates dameless explosive. The
mines are ventilated by rotary fans
