Might Have saved scores.
''Tomlinson WIS the second man to fall
and l felt my knees giving way, but
made another effort to stand and started
to run. Rodgers and Robinson were keep
ing close touch to me, and neither was
saying a word. We knew of a split of air
at No l right, and if we had been able
t. reach that point Se could have thrown
that down in the mine ard probably have
saved the lives of scores of miners.
while cropping our way in the darkness
1 never heard such sounds arise from hui
man beings as the breathing of those
miners. 1t was all that could be heard
except for an occasional shrek or groan.
Men were walking and crawling every
where. Only death will blot that from
my memory.
'"rhen the after damp swept in about
us, stronger and the men began drop
ping as beeves at a slaughter. After
they fell they would make one or two
final gasps, and die. From No. 3 right,
which point we had reached with a great
deal of difficulty we headed back to No.
right near where the down-cast fan is
located which sends the air through the
Mill Creek shaft.
while trying to gain this point 1 lost
consciousnesss and do not know what
occurred until I was brought out of the
mine and placed in the hospital. The last
that I can remember was that l was ex-
.remely weak and losing breath at every
Itep. The agonizing groans OF the dying
men in my ears worried me, and l sank

THE HARMONY FEED.

Mr.. Bryan's contribution to the har-
mony dinner in the last issue OF the
Commoner is rather at longrange, but
it will probably carry to the coast line,
and we now have vey complete SYM
postum of Democratic opinion. unless
Bill Bynum and Senator Tfllman
should desire to make few remarks
before the table is cleared. 1t Is we'll
that everybody should free his mind as
a preliminary to the campaign, and get
ready to give exclusive attention to the
common enemy at the right time.
1t Is very encouraging to note these
forcible expressions from party lead
ers. AS we understand 1t, Mr.. Cleve-
land, Mr.. Watterson and Mr.. Bryan
are all getting ready to support the
Democratic ticket and indorse the Dem
ocratic platform this time. True har-
n1ony consists not so much in dead
level unanimity of sentiment as in the
reconciliation of divergent natures.
And that Is what we are going to have
and what we need--a union of strong.
virile men who are so ready for fight
that they smash party ally occasion
ally just to keep their hands in.
What is the promise of the millen-
mum?
The wolf also shall dwell with the
lamb, and the leopard shall lie down
with the kid; and the calf and the
young lion and the failing together;
and little child shall lead them.
And the COW and the bear shall feed;
their young ones shall lie down to.
gether: and the lion shall eat straw
like the COX.
That is real harmony. And you
must have genuine animals to do it
properly. A leonine calf and a calf
ish lion would make hippodroma of
harmony. Hence there should be
enough roaring and bowling and bleat-
ing before hand to establish identity.
There is no change of character 1t
Is true that the lion is said to eat
straw, but that only means that they
will get up to the crib and eat what is
provided.
And now, brethren, let us proceed to
business. II anybody else has any re-
marks of an historical character to
make. let him make them now, or for
ever after hold his peace And when
they are concluded. let us up and at

Immense plans which seemed about

On the sixth day just as an enor-

ped gale came up, ship was blown
upon the wall, which went to pieces at
once, and the sea drove the heavy
stones In upon the thin roof OF the
mine. In q moment the workings were
hopelessly flooded, and the owner was
a ruined man.
A story equally tragic is told of the
Speedwell lead mine In Derbyshire.
Believing that rich vein of ore exist
ed In a nearby hill, the owner risked
his entire capital to bore tunnel 3,0O0
feet long into the heart of the noun
tain. Suddenly the miners broke
through wall of rock into h vast hid

stream of water.
They began to dump rock into the
stream, and after 10000 tons a bridge
began to rise out of the darkness and
then their farther progress was stop

and at last, after 10000 tons in all
had been cast into the cavern, they
gave 1t up.

day as the Bottomless Pit.
