SUICIDE OF GEN. ALLEN.
Found Dead in the Country Near
Richmond

A dispatch from Richmond, Va, last night
says: Edgar Allen, former United States
district attorney, prominent Grand Army
man. and who had figured here in repub-
ncan politics since reconstruction days, was
found this morning near the Union Theolog-
1cai Seminary, in Henry county, with a
bullet through his head and a pistol clutch
ed in his hand. 1t is regarded as a clear
case of suicide
On the back of letter found on the body
IN lead pencil, is written the following:
Give Judge Witt my record during re-
construction. 1t is in Eicke arode's book
in my little booKcase, and ask him to
write my true history and defend from
my defamers, of whom W has been the
worst. / hope my false friends will be
truer now. / commend my little boy to the
President, who ignores the forty years his
father has given to the republican party.
Eddie, Edith, Iola Edgar, Stella and the
little ones will grieve for me, but don't
blame me, for l have done my best for you
all my life.

Many Killed in Coal Mine Explosion

A disps tch from Trinidad, Col. last night
says: Between thirty and sixty men lost
thej- lives in a terrific explosion which oc-
CURED at mine No. of the Rocky Noun
tain Fuel and Iron Company at Terco,
Forty miles west of Trinidad, this after
noon. The exact number of dead may
never be known as the mine is burning
and in all likelihood the bodies will be con-
SuIned.
The explosion was preceded by a low
~umbling sound, resembling an earthquake
which made the earth trembfe and startled
the whole camp. Out of the mouth of the
tunnels and two air shafts came a great
volume O. smoke and dust, which continued
for near.y minute. Out of the other
Shafts, each of which is seven feet in
diameter, timbers that were fully two or
three feet in diameter were shot into the air
and broken into splinters. Rocks were
thrown over the camp for distance of a
quarter OF mile. In fact, it rained rocks,
broken tfmbers and all kinds of wreckage,
and many persons were injured by being
struck with these missiles The explosion,
which resembled a volcanic eruption, caus-
cd the widest excitement Men, women and
Children rushed to the mouth of the tunnel,
and women whose husbands Were in the
nire had to be brought away by miners to
prevent their being killed by deadly fumes
coming from the mouth of the tunnel. The
nine in which the accident occurred en-
rloys eighty men, and it is believed that at
least sixty were in the mine at the time.
Nearly all the miners employed are Slavs.

Snakelike Railroad in Arizona Used
for Transporting Ores.
From the Chicago Chronicle.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
Between the mining towns of Clifton and
Metcalf Ariz, there runs the steepest, mar
rowest and most tortuous railroad in the
world. Passengers as well as long trains
of ore are raced down dizzy grades,
dragged up steep inclines, swung AROUND
sweeping curves, and carried In safety III
snake-like course over one of the most
picturesque bits of mountain land in the
country
The compact and sturdy little engines
which draw the precious metal from the
mines in one town to the SmelterS in an
other or which puff and steam up to the
front or back doors of the homes of mine
owenrs and workers there to await the
mistress of the house as she prepares to
take the entire family to market or make
an afternoon call, run on twenty-lnch
gauge.
1t will be readily seen how narrow is this
railroad which winds up to the very peaks
of high mountains, hangs suspended over
deep canons, and bores its glittering way
through miles of solid rock, when the
twenty inches are put side by side with the
standard four feet eight and one-half
inches
it is pretty much down grade. The plucky
little engine, with its train of eighteen or
twenty heavily loaded ore cars, each guard
ed by a miner in picturesque garb, who
takes this opportunity to secure a little
fresh air and sunlight, hugs the mountains
for miles at a stretch, then suddenly swings
into a desolate valley and tears along a
river bank until it is forced to climb
slight incline to bridge which stretches
over a yawning canon. There are three of
these bridges from Metcalf mines to Clifton
smelling works, and the trestle work
ranges from 125 to 135 feet in height.

The Lower Eocene Horse.

From the Century.
We may imagine the earliest herds OF
horses In the Lower Eocene CEohippus, or
"dawnhorse" stage) as resembling lot OF
small fox terriers In size, only eleven
inches, or two and three-tenths hands, at
the withers, covered with short hair, which
may have had brownish color with lighter
spots, resembling the sunbeams falling
through the leaves of trees, and thus pro-
tecting the little animals from obserya-
ton. AS in the terrier, the wrist (kneel
was near the ground, the hand was still
short, terminating in four hoofs, with
part of the fifth toe (thumb) dangling at
the side. Despite its diminutive size OF
from eleven to fourteen inches, this little
horse ranged from Mexico northward
through Wyoming, and far over continental
Europe and Great Britain.

HOW GOLDFISH ARE CAUGHT
Occupation That Yielded $4,000, 900
Pounds of Food in One Year.

From the Booklovers' Magazine
Codfishing is done with dories and travis
The dories are fatbottomed. slop,ng- sided
boats. which fit into one another in the
ships waist. economiZing space thereby
Each dory takes two men. and the whole
crew. except the captain and the cook 90

Travis are long lines, each with 3 900 hooks
attached at intervals and baited with some
smaller fish, either herring, caplin or ouid.
that the cod affects. The travis are an
chored at each end bai.ed in the day, left
lying overnight. and stripped of their
accumulation of fish next morning, being
baited again when 'overhauled."
The FISH are taken to the vessel in the
dories, eviscerated. washed and sailed This
routine continues until the bait is exhaust
ed. and then the vessel returns home lands
the fish. takes more bait and salt and goes
out again. AT St. Pierre her catch is taken
in hand by the graviers and women. VINO
submerge II in crates until the salt has
been washed off.
Then they scrub each fish with hard
coarse brush and pile them in heaps to
drain. This done, they are next spread on
the beaches 10 dry in the sunlight and air.
The beaches consist Of several acres of
nat ground covered with basalt stones
worn round by the motion of the sea for
ages.
These stony fields surround St Pierre
and thousands of cod are DISPLAYED there
on fine day. Every evening, or If fog or
rain threatens, the fish are gathered up
again and are covered with tarpaulins. The
process is repeated until the fish are quite
dry and hard. Dry fish are piled in round
stacks, the rest in oblong ones When
sufficient quantity to load a vessel is
obtained ii is packed into her hold and
shipped to market.
The extent OF the cod fishing Of Miouelon
and 81. Pierre may be indicated by the rec
ord OF the catch of those islands in 1902
which was I2,500.OO0 pounds While much
or the annual product is exported to other
countries France naturally gets the 1arper
part. In fact, st. Pierre furnishes three
fourths of all the Goldfish used in France.
