San Francisco, Jan. 22.-While the
Southern Pacific company sSunset lin

mountains between San Luis Obispo

mysteriously stolen out of the express
car by some unknown person or per-

returned he found the side door of the
express car open and the safe miss
ing. The robber gained entrance to
the car through the end door, the lock
of which had been forced.
Sullivan at once notified the railway
officials, and a search for. the missing
safe resulted in finding it near tunnel

with the exception Of valuable dia-

BILE papers. The amount of treasure
lost has not been determined The

A Real London For

A recent example of London fog was
the cause Of some queer blunders. A
Bayswater bus got nearly as far as
Camden Town when the driver thought
he was headed for Portland Station.
Horses knew their way better
A wagon drawn by two horses be-
longing to firm of grocers in Coventry
was left by the man in charge just out
side Rugby, ten miles from their des-
tination. The animals started off and
were quickly lost to sight in the fog.
They reached home without mishap,
although the fog was so thick that OBJ
jects could not be distinguished a few
yards away. The driver, who had to
find his way on foot. did not arrive un-
til FIVE hours later.

Work For the Stomach,

For the average healthy man think
there is something to be said in favor
Of a good meal even if a trifie heavy
now and then. I believe it is a fact
that the human stomach, although it
is not a gizzard like that of a goose,
still does it's work better when slightly
stretched, just as the lungs work bet
ter with deep inhalations induced by
bodily exercise in the open air.-Lon-

London, Jan. 26-After twelve days
trial the jury in the kings bench divi-
sion Of the high court Of justice found
Whitaker Wright, the promoter. guilty
Of fraud on all the counts and he was
sentenced to seven years penal servi-

But Wright will never serve his
sentence because he is dead. The
sentence was followed by a commotion
in a distant part of the court, and the
faint cry of a woman in distress was
heard. One man shook hands with
Wright as the latter left the court by
the private exit, accompanied by his
counsel. Almost Immediately after
wards Wright was taken suddenly i'll
and collapsed in the ante-room of the
court. He grew rapidly worse and in
less than an hour after his sentence
the, fnancier was dead.
The tragic end of the case created
a tremendous sensation. Wright's
friends said all along that while he
was hopeful of his acquittal they were
certain he would not survive SEN
tence and would commit suicide. This.
apparently, is what happened. Wright
was removed from the court to hos
pital as soon as he was taken i'll, but

AS soon as the rumble of the eX-

startled the little village the wives
and children of the men below rushed
to the scene of the disaster, but to
gain no encoura cement. There was
no way to get into the deep workings.
The cages that let the men into the
mines and brought them out again
when the days work was done were
both demolished All day long there
was a jam of waiting women and
children about the mouth of the pit
1t was not until 4 y. M. that the first
attempt at rescue was made. This
was a failure, as the two men who
volunteered were driven back byat
foul air. y '~ssF ~
Shortly after 5 p. 10. Mining En-

but so far without avail. Thomas
Wood, one of the first of the rescue
party hauled to the surface, told his
story of his trip through the mine.
He said:

bered over three or four falls. Taylor
laid out the mine and seemed to know
the way. There was one man alive
at the foot of the shaft. He was sent
up, and then we took the mule path
into the south level. We saw two
men who were alive and notified those
back of us and then went on. We

Professional Mourners.

In ancient times funerals were fol-
lowed by professional mourners, who.
simulated the appearance of the Wild
est grief. The custom survives in the
valley of Sondrio, in the Alps. There
the women do not follow the funeral,
but they group themselves at the en-
trance of the cemetery and burn, in
honor of the dead, candles which vary
in size. according to the remuneration.
They are as prodigal as were the
mourners of ancient times in their sim
ulation of excessive grief.

can be gathered at this hour between
$50 and 100 men are lying dead in the
headings and passa geWays of the Har-
wick mine of the Allegheny Coal COM
pany at Cheswick, the result of ter
rife explosion. Cage after cage has
gone down into the mine and come up
again, but only one miner Of all those
that went down to work has been
brought to the surface. The rescued
man is Adolph Gunia, and he is still
in a Unconscious condition at the
temporary hospital in the rude school
house on the hillside above the mine.
All in the Mine Are Dead.
In addition to the miners who were
at work when the explosion occurred
it is now believed by practically all
of the men of the rescue party who
have come up the 220-foot vertical
shaft for q warming and a breath
ing spell that Selwyn NJ. Tay-
Tor, the Pittsburg mining engin-
eer who plated the mine, and who
was the first to reach the bottom aft
er the explosion happened, is also now
among the list Of dead. Of those in
the mine all are probably dead.

The explosion occurred at $40 g.
m, and the first warning was the sud-
den rumble underground, and then a
sheet of fame followed up the deep
shaft. Both mine cages were hurled
through the tipple, twenty feet above
the landing stage, and the three men
on the tipple were thrown to the
ground, A mule was thrown high
above the shaft, and fell dead on the
ground. The injured men were brought
at once to this city, where two of
them, Henry Mayhem, check weigh
man, and George Mailman, tippleman,
have since died.
