MAMMOTH COAL BED.
SeaI Wilkesbarre Veins of Fabu-
1ous Value Were Found.
Estimated That There Ii Enough
Anthracite There to Keep 5000
Men Employed for 200 Years
Valued at $1,000. 100000.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, April IA mann
moth bed of coal has been discovered
just south of this city by the Lehigh
4 Wilkesbarre and the Delaware,
Laekawanna & Western coal compa-
aies, after the completion of two
GORE holes of 1900 feet. Eleven veins
supposed to be located there at an
unusual depth were found, but above
them eight veins never before found
n the upper coal fields were discov-
cred. These run from to IL feet in
thickness, while far beneath them
was found a branch of the famous
mammoth vein of the Hazleton region,
averaging 80 feet in thickness and di-
Tided into three benches, which will
make the mining easier than if the
thickness was sheer.
1t is roughly estimated that the
thickness of the veins aggregates $50
feet and that the whole contains
about SOC, 900, 900 tons of coal. One of
the officers engaged in the boring
said: There is enough coal there,
as indicated by the drill, to keep n
large force of men working for 200
years" An expert estimates that the
force required will be about 5000 men
market value of the large bed is the
great sum of S1,OO0,O0O,O0O. AT the
present cost of production the miners
who produce this coal will get about
aalf the market value.

BLIND CHAPLAIN DEAD.
Remarkable Career of Rev. william
Henry Mflburn, So Long Con-
nected With National Life.

Washington, April 12.-Rev. Will
liam Henry Milburn, the venerable
blind chaplain of the United States
senate, is dead in Santa Barbara, Cal,
When he was five years of age q
playfellow accidentally struck him
in the left eye with a piece of glass.
For two years he was confined to a
dark room under medical treatment
and when he came out one of his
eyes was entirely blind and little
sight was left in the other. In 1915,
when % years of age, DIR. Milburn
was chosen chaplain to the house
of the United States, and again in
1S53-1S55, and was thus brought into
intimate relations with the most emf
nent public men of the country. In
1885 DIR. MGlburn was again chosen
chaplain at Washington, and having
served through four houses was.
in 1898, elected to the chaplaincy of
the senate. Few living men have been
brought into friendly relations with
so many eminent persons at home
and abroad as DR.. Milburn. Entering
the capitol when Daniel Webster,
John c. Calhoun and the men of their
generation became his friends, he has
been brought into close contact with
nearly all their successors, and has
seen we'll nigh four generations of
our statesmen and orators pass off
the stage.

ELEVEN AMERICANS SHOT.
Fight at Bacolod More Serious Than at
First Reported-BattleL Lasted
Three Days.

Manila, April 1.-THE Investment
of Bacolod, island of Mindanao, which
was captured by Capt. Pershing's
forces after a fight in which 100
Moros were killed, occupied three
days. The final assault was made at
noon Wednesday. Desperate fighting
took place inside the forts. Seven
cannon were captured and IL Ameri-
cans mot three as previously cabled)
were wounded, few of them serious
ly. 1t is probable that all the Ameri-
cans will recover.
The assault on Wednesday was
carefully prepared. The column car
ried forward a bamboo bridge on
which ali the troops crossed the
noat under fire and afterwards
scaled the walls. The fighting inside
the forts was most desperate. Sixty
dead Moros were found beside the
walls and 40 were killed in the
trenches. The whereabouts of the
sultan of Bacolod is not known. He
is believed to have escaped Monday
night.
Maj.-Gen. Davis highly commends
Capt. Pershing and his men. He says
a previous study of the situation at
Bacolod, careful preparation and dis
position of troops accounts for the
small American losses. Capt Per-
shing has moved forward to complete
his explorations, his objective point
being Marachui, where Gen. Davis has
forwarded supplies.

MINER CARRIED A LANTERN.
Explosion in an Indian Territory
Mine Caused Five Deaths and
the Injury of Others.

South McAlester, 1. T., April IL
One Of the worst mine explosions in
the history of the Indian territory
coal fields occurred yesterday in
shaft No. "a at Cherryyale. The mine
is owned by the Central Coal and
Coke company. Floyd Oder. an in
spector, had just gone into an entry
in which seven men were at work,
when terrible explosion resulted.
probably caused by his lantern ignit-
ing accumulated gas. Five men were
killed, namely, Floyd Oder, George
Eek, John Kincaid, o. A. Fields and
William MILAN. Three others were
severely burned. Of these John Hill
will die.

THE SHELL WAS DEFECTIVE.
Explanation of the Explosion of the e.
Inch Gun on the Battleship Iowa In
the Gulf Near Pensacola.

Pensacola, Fla, April >11.-An in
'estigation of the explosion, on the
battleship Iowa, which occurred in
the gulf near this port, resulting in
the death of three seamen and the
serious injury of five others, shows
that the accident was caused entirely
by defective shell fuse, which it is
stated burned faster than was cal
culated. 1t is understood that the
shell exploded fully 60 seconds before
it was timed to go off. An examina-
ton of the ship shows that the
bursted gun is beyond repairs and
that the 12-inch forward turret will
have to be repaired. A number of
supporters are also sprung, and it is
stated that portions of the deck will
have to be replaced where pieces of
the heavy gun tore through.

Left Baby In the Church.

st. Louis, April 11.-Peacefully
asleep on cushioned seat at ST. AL
fonso's Catholic church, oblivious of
the peals of the organ or the voices
of the choir, lay a three-day-old baby,
deserted by its mother in the pro-
tecting sanctuary of the church, with
a prayer on her lips that the little
one find home for life far better
than she was able to give it. No one
had seen the little one brought into
the church, and no one saw the
mother as she left it to the tender
mercies of whoever might find it. She
had attended the nine o'clock mass.
