A Modern Petition.

~ mOUETU TCAIIUtI.
o Lord, I come to thee In prayer
once more;
But pardon that I do not kneel De-
fore
Thy gracious presence, for my
knees are sore
With so much walking. In my
chair, instead,
I'll sit at ease and humbly bow my
lead.
I've labored In Thy vineyard, Thou
dost know;
I've sold ten tickets to the minstrel
show;
I've called on fifteen strangers In
our town,
Their contributions to our church
put down;
I've baked a pot Of beans for
Wednesdays spree,
An old,time supper It's going to be:
I've dressed three dolls, too, for
our annual fair,
And made cake, which we must
rattle there!
Now. with Thy boundless wisdom.
so sublime,
Thou knowest that these duties all
take time
have no time to fight my spirits
foes;
I have no time to mend my hts
bands clothes,
My children roam the streets from
morn till night;
have no time 10 teach them to do
right;
But thou, o Lord, considering my
cares.
Will count them righteousness and
heed my prayers.
Bless the Bean Supper and the
Minstrel Show,
And put 1t In the hearts of all to
go.
Induce all visitors to patronize
The men who In our programme
advertise,
Because I've chased those mer-
chants till they hid,
Wiener they saw me coming
yes, they did!
Increase the contributions to our
Fair,
Aud bless the people who assemble
there
Bless Thou the grab-bag and the
gypsy tent,
The flower table and the cake
that's sent,
Nay our whist club be to Thy ser
vice bleSr
The dancing party, gayer than the
rest;
And when Thou hast bestowed
these blessings-then
We pray that Thou wilt bless our
souls Amen.

DYNAMITE KILLS MINERS.
hox Containing Fifty Pounds Of the
STUFF Is Dropped in Wilkesbarre
Colliery and 1t Explodes.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Dec. 1o.-Four men
were killed and ten injured, three prob
ably fatally, by the explosion of box
of dynamite in No. mine of the 10
high & Wilkesbarre Coal company nj
South Wilkesbarre Tuesday. The
names of the killed are: Robert Hum.
piebee, carpenter, aged So, married:
Arthur Jones, company hand, aged rs,
single; Matthew Phillips, miner, aged
81. married; James McGlynn, laborer.
aged 35, married.
The fatally injured are: George
knorr, Charles Stafford and Thomas
Evans.
The most seriously injured are:
Neil Sweeney, John Rustin, Dominick
Hart and James Peckems.
The men had lowered into the shaft,
which is no feet deep, box of dyna-
mite weighing so pounds. When the
bottom of the shaft was reached Phil
lips took the box off the carriage. It
slipped from his hands and fell to the
ground. The conclusion exploded the
dynamite and the 90 men who were in
the Immediate vicinity getting their
tools in readiness to go to their re-
spective chambers were hurled in all
directions. The woodwork at the bot
tom of the shaft was also torn and
scattered about. AS soon as possible
word was sent to the surface and
rescuing party was sent down.
The mine has the reputation of being
the most gaseous in the entire region,
and at first it was reported that the
gas had exploded and that score of
miners had been killed outright. For
tunately, however, the gas did not ex-
plode. The dead and injured were
brought to the surface as soon as pos
sible. Phillips was mangled almost
beyond recognition. McGlynn had his
arms torn off. The injured were
wrapped in blankets and sent to their
homes.
Superintendent Morgan was early on
the scene and everything possible was
done to alleviate the sufferings of the
injured. The accident caused the big
colliery to suspend operations for the
day.

CONFEDERATION AT ATLANTA.
Block of Buildings i'm the Heart q,
the City Laid Waste-Loss,
Half Million.

Atlanta, Ga, Dec. 10.-The most
disastrous fire in the history of At
lata Tuesday laid waste nearly a
block of buildings in the heart Of
the city. AT four o'clock in the
morning pedestrians passing along
the new viaduct over the railroad
tracks saw fash of flame from the
furniture store of the Shook e. Aus.
tin company, on Whitehall street. A
strong northwest wind aided the fire
and sent showers of sparks in every
direction. The fire soon spread to
the Norcross building, on the corner
OF Marietta and Peachtree, and in
turn to the large drug house of the
Jacobs company, on Marietta street,
the liquor store of the P. NJ. Pose
company and the Williams hotel.
There was no loss of life SO far as
known, although Capt. Joyner, chief
of the fire department, expressed
some apprehension for the safety of
all the guests at the Williams hotel.
There was considerable excitement
among the guests of the Kimball
house, half block away, as the
sparks and flames were blowing in
that direction, but the iron windows
were closed and the guests suffered
little inconvenience beyond the smoke
in the building. The windows of the
ten-story Peters building, completed
less than six months ago, were burst
by the heat and other damage was
done the structure. The Norcross
building was filled with the Offices
OF professional men, and the entire
sixth floor was used as restaurant.

ened the citizens, and the robbers, be.
coming frightened, fed without Sc

OF cash is said to have been in the

1t was learned later that while the
robbers did not get any bank funds,
they secured about $1,000 in cash and
