The tip that the fugitives were head

straight and Sheriff Frohock of Dade
county was notified of their possible
appearance within his Jurisdiction, and
requested to look out for them A sim

Savannah by Chief Deputy Sweeny.
Young was known to have a woman
in that part of the country, and it was
thought likely that in his trouble he
would seek her out and rely upon her
for concealment and support
This proved to be the correct SUPPOSE
ton, for on last Friday Young made his
appearance in Miami and was promptly
arrested by the sheriff. He has been in
jail there ever since, awaiting the ar

Requisition papers on the governor of

DEATH INA COAL MINE.
Twensy-Four Lives Lost BY an Explosion
of Gas In the Nelson Mine
at DAYTON, Tenn.

Chattanooga, Tenn, April Am
explosion of gas, generated by coal
dust, occurred in the Nelson mine Of

Dayton, Tenn, yesterday, Fourteen
dead bodies have been recovered, two
miners are fatally injured and ten
missing Seventy-fve men were in

Gas exists in the Nelson mine and
the men are required to use safety

for the miners to place their fuses
ready to be lighted for blasts just be-
fore quitting work each day, and
there are workmen known as "fre-
men" whesgo through the mine after
al the miners are out and set of
these blasts.
The miners quit work at 4;30
o'clock yesterday afternoon. 1t takes
them about forty-five minutes to get
out of the mine. Two "tiremen," who
are supposed TO have caused the ex-
plosion, are Mark Hunter and John

about AIS o'clock, before all the mi

is supposed that one of the fuses was
defective and resulted in what is
known as a blown blast" The
flames shot out from the blast ignited
the gas, which in turn ignited the ac-
emulation Of dry coal dust in the
mine. The explosion which followed
was terrific. The flames shot ont OF
the mouth of the mine and the shock
completely wrecked the shed at the
mine entrance. Threemen were killed
while standing outside the mine anc
two were seriously and one fatally
injured.
This mine has been the scene ot
two serious explosions in the past. II
1889 four men were killed and eigh
seriously injured by an explosion o
gas. December 20, 1895, an explosion
of mine dust occurred in which 2

THE NATIONAL ROLL OF HONOR
Army Talks About the PEN .
sion Bureau.

Minneapolis, Mimi, ApFh Judge
Ell Terrence, commander-in-chief OF
the g. A. r., just back from a confer
ence with the president on pension
matters, says the report of the &. A
X. pension committee was submitted
to him some time ago. At his re
quest, however, it will not be pre-
seated for awhile. The president is
waiting for a successor to Pension
Commissioner Evans. Judge Terrence,
discussing the report, said;
"The committee found no fault
with the pension laws as they now
exist, but rather with the mannersin
which the laws have been construed
and administered by the pension bu-
reau. A desire for change in the Of
flee Of commissioner of pensions has
been steadily growing for two years
past until now it is almost universal
among the veterans. Conservative
Grand Army men believe, and with
good cause, that great injustice has
been done to many deserving and
worthy claimants. All the veteran
soldier of the Union desires is that
the laws shall be justly and fairly
administered and that all who are en-
titled to reap their benefits be al
lowed to gain them without unrea.
sonable delays and that every UNI
worthy claim shall be rejected ano
every fraudulent pensioner stricken
from the rolls. The atmosphere OF
the pension bureau has been such as
to create an impression that a great
many frauds are attempted by the
old soldiers, but it is worthy of mote
that according to the last report o
the commissioner there were, out o
159 persons convicted of frauds
against the bureau last year, but tel
soldiers Of the civil war. of whom
two were deserters. Many conyic
tons were for offenses against tn
old soldiers and not for him. Tn
records show that onlyone old soldie
out of 10000 has been convicted o
fraud against the government. Thi
certainly is a wonderfully good show
ing
Judge Terrence denied that he wa
to be made pension commissions
nor was he a candidate for that q

MAKING GHOST RINGS.
pertinent That Any Bright Boy
or Girl Can Conduct.

Here is trick that is very effec-
tive one to use at party, and, al
though it appears very strange to the
spectators when well performed, still
it is most simple. Take pasteboard
hat box and cut circular hole four or
five inches in diameter in the center
Of the cover. Get two pads of blotting
paper, each composed of six or eight
pieces. Place the box on table facing
the company and tell them that you
are about to make some ghosts for
them-one for each.
Take the pads of plotting paper into
another room and then pour on one
small quantity of muriatic acid and
on the. other similar quantity of
aqua ammonia, both of which you can
get very cheaply at any drug store.
Be very careful to keep the two pads
from touching each other. Garry
them into the room and put them in
the box one on top of the other, clap
ping on the cover of the box at once.
The box will Immediately become filled
with thick, white cloud.
Now turn the box over so that the
hole in the cover is pointed directly
at one of the party. Tap the box
sharply on both sides at the same time
with your hands and ghostly white
ring will come out of the hole and
float directly at the person in front
Of it. BY shifting the position of the
box and aiming the hole at different
ones you can send one of these rings
at each person in the room. They will
be greatly surprised, and will dodge
and try to get out of the way, as gen
eral rule.
BY renewing the supply of chemicals
on the pads of plotting paper, you can
afterward amuse the company by talk
ing turns at projecting these rings at
a door knob, or some other prominent
object, stringing several of them upon
it before they melt away and disap-
pear. If two of the rings should knock
together in the air, they would bend
and straighten out again without los
ing their form, just as an elastic body

A WONDERFUL CURE.

Wright City, Mo-, Dec. 3o.-Med-
zeal men are still wondering over the
Symes case, which has aroused such
widespread interest in this neigh
borhood.
Mr.. Joseph G. symes had suffered
very severely with Inflammatory Rheu-
matism, enduring pains which were
omething terrible, and which made
it altogether impossible for him to
work by day or rest or sleep at night.
In spite of all treatments he grew
worse and his case seemed to defy all
the usual remedies.
He began treatment of Dodd's Kid
ney Pills and very soon noticed .
marked improvement, which increased
as he kept on till six boxes were used,
when he found himself without trace
of pain or ache. He is now able to
work all day and sleep all night, and
his rapid and complete recovery is re-
garded by the doctors as little short
of miracle.

NEW YEARS FESTIVAL.
The Romans Observed It with Re.
ligious Ceremonies and Cruel
Sports in the Arena.

Although the first of January is the
oldest of all holidays retaining a
fixed date, it is q curious fact that it
has been New Years day among Eng
disappearing people, except in Scot
land, less than a century and half,
and in Scotland itself only three CEN
turtles.
Beginning with the year of Rome,
7O8, or B. G. 46, the Julian calendar
went into effect in the Roman empire,
by which the year was made to date
from the kalends of January, the first
day of the month. 1t is probable that
this was holiday before the time OF
the law, as it appeared to have been
observed as festival in honor OF
Juno, but it soon became the most
marked of all Roman festal days. In
the Fasti of Ovid that poet tells of
the striking religious ceremonies of
the occasion, the professions of white
robed priests, the music and the
banners, while later writer's depict the
social observances, the exchange of
presents, and the libations Of wine
with good cheer of every character.
From that time onward the begin
ming of the year was the great i'm
perial holiday celebrated in every land

to cultivate the mustache. Youhg fell

owner received.
