MINE HORROR IN TENNESSEE

At Least Eighteen Lives Lost by an
Explosion.
Chattanooga, Tenn, April "A spe-
cial to The News from Dayton, Tenn,
gives the details Of the explosion which
occurred in Nelson mine of the Dayton
Coal and Iron company there. The
known list of killed totals eighteen, but
this number may be increased after the
debris is removed from the mine which
is being done as rapidly as possible.
Most of the families of the dead
miners are in destitute condition, and
their needs are being supplied by the
Dayton Coal and Iron company tenn
porarily.
The explosion, which was one Of the
worst that has occurred in the Dayton
mines, came close upon the announce
ment after an inspection that the mine
was perfectly safe. The Nelson shaft,
however, has been the most dangerous
Of the mines at Dayton on account of
the presence of mine gas ever since the
explosion of Dec. 20, 1895, when twen-
ty-eight men were killed.
The explosion is believed to have been
caused by the unintentional firing Of a
shot by Lark Hunter and John Harvey,
two experienced fire bosses.

FARRELL BOUND OVER.
The Slick Individual Who Passed
a Forged Check on the Mayor
Bound Over in Sum of $500.

Jamee Farrell, who last week passed
forged check on Mayor ]. M. Sampliner
and who was arrested the same day at
Fruits and brought to this city and
lodged in Jail, had his preliminary hear
ing this morning before Justice J. F,
Byers. The hearing had been postponed
to give Farrell an opportunity to secure
money with which to secure q lawyer,
but he gave no evidence, during the time
he was permitted to have the case post
poned from his first call before the jus
tice, that he had attempted to secure the
money from his alleged friends in Den
YER.
He was not, therefore, represented at
his preliminary trial this morning by an
attorney. The state was represented by
Guy Sternberg, assistant district attor.
ney
The witnesses against Farrell were
Mayor Sampliner and 8. L. Poage. The
former testified to the manner in which
Farrell had obtained the money from
him, giving in detail the misrepreaenta.
tions resorted to by Farrell to induce
him to cash his check Mr.. Poage also
gave the history of Farrell's attempt to
pass a check for $l4 upon him. Farrell
attempted to deny that the check was
for $l4. but he could not distort the tes-
timony given by Mr.. PoaRe.
During the time of the trial Farrell
appeared to be very penitent, tears fill
ing his eyes frequently, but they were
crocodile tears and had little effect on
those who were there to see that the
man received his just deserts and also
justice at the same time.
After citing a number Of authorities
Mr.. Sternberg stated that he thought
the evidence was more than sufficient to
bind the man over for trial on the charge
Of forgery to the next term Of the dis.
trict court. This was done by Justice
Byers, the bail being fixed at $3.50.
Farrell was asked whether he thought
he could furnish the bond and said he
did not know and asked that the same
be reduced to $500 but the court stated
that il he could secure $500 bond he
could secure the bond fixed by the court.
AS no one came forward to furnish the
bond required Farrell was taken back to
jail by Deputy Sheriff Smith.

After Eating the English Pi1m Pudding

Somebody across the water sent my
wife an English plum pudding in a
heavy pasteboard box, together with
the recipe for the proper sauce to go
with it," said a Cleveland man the

the day before New Years day and SO
we celebrated the advent of 1902 by
having the pudding for dinner. Luck
lily the two or three people my wife
invited to sample our treasure couldn't
come, so we had it all to ourselves.
Well. when the time came it was
brought in with sprinkling of brandy
blazing on top, and it certainly looked
attractive. We were literally helped
and the sauce was passed around and
poured out in generous quantities. 1t
was peculiar sauce, heavy and thick.
Later on we found it exhilarating.
After dinner we had intended play
ing social game of pedro, but instead
of doing so we sat around and vacant
ly stared at each other and yawned
and rubbed our heads and occasion
ally made stupid replies to stupid ques-
tions. We all went to bed good and

stairs so long or so hard to climb.
And, do you know, l can't remember

fore.

narrator. according to the Cleveland
Plain Dealer, 81 asked her what in the
world there was about the plum pud-
ding that should make us feel as II we
had been out all night with the boys.
And then she got the recipe for that
pudding sauce and l copied 1t down.
Here 1t is, spelling and all: Three
wineglasses of brandy, two OF MADEIRA,
two tablespoonfuls of sugar and pint
Of melted butter
Jane l said to my wife, Its a

BY DIR. E F. ELDRIDGE.
Home: tits the fairest haven
Under the vaulted sky,
Filled with the rarest treasures-
Joys which can never die;
Blessings that nsught but heaven =
Can ever again replace;
OF love, that was born in Eden;
or hate. not the slightest trace.
There are the burdens lifted,
For peace is dwelling there:
Laughter and song the whole day long; !;
At evening the thankful prayer;
Rest from the toll and trials;
A smiling face at the door
Home-what place to worship!
May We love it ever more.
In front of the blazing fagots,
With our babes upon my knee.
When the dusk OF evening settles
Over the fading lee,
We tell them childish stories
Or hear their simple tales,
Till the flames die out in the mbers,
And the moon up the heavens sails.
Then. kissing each throbpipg temple.
We carry them of to bed:
Where the mother breathes blessing
AS she soothes each weary head,
Beaming with fond devotion,
As che leaves them side by side),
As fair as in years long vanished,
When first she became my bride.
Can heaven bestow more blessings
AS precious as these l holdf
Gould honor or worldly pleasure
Aye! fabulous heaps of gold
Purchase the jewels treasure
And leave me, the world to roamY
No!,not for the wealth Of Croesus
Would l sell my love OF home.

Money to Loan!

CERTAINTY OF CoNTRAcT.-The
loan plan here offered by The Fi>
deity is that of paying off a loan
by easy monthly payments. The
contract is definite and certain By
its terms it cannot run BEYOND the
time fixed, but stock participates in
earning and may mature sooner. IT
is NOT a loan upon the building
loan plan as usually presented by
associations. 1t differs from such
a plan, in that
No fines are charged the borrower.
The maximum number of payments re-
quired to ray If is stipulated IN the note.
The sum required to pay off and cancel a
loan, or any part of it, is stipulated in the
tie for each period.
Certainty and monthly payment plan
is an advantage to the borrower. N The
debt can be paid off before maturity with
out penalty. (2) The borrower by easy pay
ments gets out of debt. Straight loans for
term of years are too often renewed.
Three terms or payment are offered. 1t
takes a small monthly payment longer to
cancel debt than it does larger one.

shooting himself. This is the best
shot he ever made-better for him

find in this folder that Hsttiesburg

is very encouraging is the fact that
these industries are rapidly increas-
ing, at the rate perhaps of one hum

often stated, that within the next
ten years it will be far ahead OF any
other ely in the state both IN popu-

TRAIN RoBBING.

When it comes to train robbing
there seems to be no distinction be-
tween any section of the country.
Bunch and Rube Burrows tried
Mississippi, others tried Texas, but
of late the robbers have moved fur
Their north and are applying their
work in Illinois and other adjoining
states. On this subject the Picayune
says:
Not many years ago the ''holding
up'' and robbing of railway express
and passenger trains was confined to
the southern states and to those west
of the Mississippi river, where the
country was but thinly set
tied and the people were supposed
TO be but partially civilized.
Now, however, the industry is
CIlIG1ly Ou Dkt6 SOetbCS tlOI III
of the Ohio and east of the Missis-
sippi, and it seems to flourish there.
Like lynching, which has found nu-
merous patrons and victims IN the
more highly civilized states, as they
are considered, train robbing is con-
fined to no section or people. 1t is
well that it is so, or else the highly
civilized people, as they claim to be,
would become too self-righteous and
forget that they possess any real hui
man nature.
One of the unusual features of the
holdup yesterday morning on the
Burlington, in Illinois was that one
of the robbers was killed. That is a
relief from the ordinary record Of
successful robberies.
