Tale of Romance.
PRICE BAKING POWDER co., CHICAGO.

The Twin City papers have been
printing the following romantic story,
which appears to have been written in.
Bismarck and has some local significance,
imaginary or otherwise:
A wedding is scheduled for Bismarck
in the near future that will have all the
romantic and unique features that the
novelist and romantically inclined could
desire, and if the efforts of certain good
folks who sympathize with the love lorn
avail, the wedding will be almost state
function.
Now to unfold the romance: Through
the agency of the North Dakota COM
missioners at the Pan-American exposi-
ton the Buffalo papers told narrowing
tale of the lack of manageable girls in
this state and of the grand opportunities
here for women seeking married bliss.
The story found wide circulation in the
papers not only of this but of other coun-
tries, and hundreds of letters from
women of all ages and nationalities have
since been received by the aforesaid
commissioners relative to the PROPOSE
tion.
A short time ago Gov. White received
a letter from woman residing in New
Orleans, in which she had seen the item
referred to and had gotten into COM
munication with rancher of-county,
on the extreme western boundary of the
state. AS result of the correspondence,
so the woman wrote the governor, the
county man had proposed marriage
and suggested that she come to Bis
marck, where he would meet her and
have the knot tied, but before accepting
his offer she had taken the liberty of ad-
dressing the governor with view of
making inquiries as tothe lovers respon-
sibility and moral character.
Inasmuch as the proposee was from
the same section of the state as Comis.
sioner of Agriculture Turner, and as the
governor thought such matters came
more properly in his department, the let.
ter was turned over to the commissioner.
Mr.. Turner knew the man WE'LL that he
had been school teacher; had taught
his son, in fact; that he had a good ranch
with sheep, cattle, horses, and three or
four kids-being a widower-and in
every way desirable party. All this
was communicated to the woman.
Now comes another letter to the gov
ernor from the woman, asking if she and
her rancher can be married at the execu-
tive mansion. This cannot be, but Com
missioner Turner can be depended upon
to tender his mansion for that auspiciors
occasion, and it is hoped the governor
can be prevailed upon to "give the bride
away. The date and details have not
yet been arranged, but when they arc
those at interest say it will be one of tho
: "swellest functions" in Bismarck Tor

BY SMALL MAJORITY.
Mine Workers Vote In Favor Of Con.
tinuinq Strike.

Hazleton, Pa, May 1.-THE anthra-
cite mine workers have decided to con-
tinue the strike of the 145,000 men
against the mine owners and to fight
it out to the bitter end. The vote to
continue the suspension was as fol-
lows: Total vote cast, 811; for strike,
461A; against strike, 349A; majority
for strike, 111k.
President Mitchell, however, in COM
pliance with the rules of the United
Mine Workers, announced to the pub
lie that the action of the convention
was unanimous.
The operators are on record as being
unalterably opposed to granting the
men any concessions and they have
personally informed the mine work
ers' leaders of the fact.

COAL MINE DISASTER
TWO HUNDRED MEN KILLED IN
FRATERvlLLE COLLlERY At
COAL CREEK, TENN.
Explosion Occurs Several Miles From
the Entrance to the Mine and It Is
Believed Every Workman Met In.
slant Death-Rescuers Work He.
roicalIy for Hours Only to Find One
Continuous Tomb of Death.

Coal Creek, Tenn, May 20.-The
worst disaster in the history of Ten
nessee mining occurred at 1880
o'clock q. m. when between It's and
225 men and boys met instant death
at the Fraterville coal mine, located
two miles west of this town, as re-
suit of gas explosion.
Out of the large number of men and
boys who went to work developments
show that only one is alive and he is
SO badly injured that he cannot live.
This man was w. A. Morgan, an aged
Englishman, who was roadman in
the mine, and he was blown out of the
entrance by the force of the explosion.
One hundred and seventy-five miners
were checked in for work in the morn
ing by the mine boss. In addition to
these, there were boys who acted as
helpers and drivers and roadmen, and
others to the number of perhaps SO.
Fraterville mine is the oldest mine
in the Coal Creek district, having been
opened IN 1870. It is fully three miles
from the mines opening to the point
where the men were at work. They
had not been at work long before the
terrible explosion occurred. There
was fearful roar and then flames
shot from the entrance and the air
shafts. News of the disaster spread
like wildtire, but as soon as order
could be brought out of chaos, two
rescuing parties were started in, one
at the main entrance, the other
through Thistle mine. which adjoins,
and in which no men were at work.
The Thistle party was unable to make
any headway as the gas stifed the
workers.
The Fraterville party went fully two
miles under the earth until heavy
fall of slate was encountered. At this
barrier the men worked like demons,
hoping against hope that those be-
yond might be safe. After the obstruc-
tions were removed, however, not q
sign of life was found and it is believ-
ed every workman met instant death.
Eight dead bodies were first recov-
cred, and these were sent to Coal
Creek. Twenty-six were soon found.
They were not disflgured beyond iden-
tif1cation, and each corpse as it was
borne from the mouth of the mine was
surrounded by eager crowds of rela-
tives of the men who were entombed.
The mine was not on fire except in re-
mote portions, and all the bodies, per-
haps, will be reached before daylight.
