nance. These same two were made one
by the bond of wedock in their youth
ful days. and reared large family of
children who are now honored men and
women in various parts of New Eng

from the bloody battlefields of the Civil

took place which has continued for near
IS forty years.
During this period of separation both
have been married, and, now after all
thes. years and varied experiences they
are reunited to the great satisfaction of
their children and relatives. Their nu-
merous friends, some of whom have
known them from youth. congratulate

ed communication with No. 2. The SOC
men in No. 1 and the few who escaped
from No. 2 were drawn up.
A rescue party descended, but its
work was seriously impeded by the
foul air and the falling masses of earth
dislOdgod by the explosion.
Altogether nine bodies have been
recovered at midnight.
Heroic efforts have been made for
hours to reach the entombed men. but.
late tonight. the absence of all sound
from the interior of the mine told the
tale of the worst disaster that has TAX

rapidly and thousands of men, women
and children thronged about the head
of the pit seeking Information concern
ing relatives and friends. The noun

gress at midnight and currents of
fresh air were being driven through
the shaft, but the rescuers worked
without hope Of reducing the list of
fatalities.

"BONANZA KING" SCOTT.
The Man Who Pays for Fastest Train
Across the Continent.

Los Angeles, Cal. July 11.-Walter
Scott. known as "ScOtty," Bonanza
King" and the "only and original
whirlwind spender.' is the man who
has paid big money to surpass all rail-
road high speed records between Los
Angeles ana Chicago.
The establishment Of the 1S-hour
schedule of the fast trains between
Chicago and New York first inspired
Scott with the notion of stirring up the
railroads in the West. When he dis
covered that his money would buy
special trains, Scott decided to make
the trip to Chicago. For almost week
he has been bargaining with the pas
senger official of the Santa Fe for
this special train. So it was not until
the Santa Fe officials promised to
make the time in 4S hours or better
that Scott said: "I'll go YOU
Scott reached into his trousers pock-
ct and pulled out a roll of bills and
slowly ran them through his fingers.
They were all of 800 denomination. He
paid $500 and said:
II would like to go at / o'clock, to-
day. l shall be alone. And 1 want to
go through in less than As hours. too.
Now I'll Just bet you $4,000 that you
don't make it in 4S hours
The bet was not taken, but at
O'Clock. Sunday afternoon. one Of the
fastest engines on the division left
with a baggage car, a dining car and a
Pullman car in an attempt to make
the 141 miles to BarstOw in 141 min
utes if possible.
The special had right of way over
everything. Eighty-five trainmen. or 16
full crews, were required to take the
train through and it was pulled by 1G
of the speediest engines Of the road,
handled by 16 of the oldest and most
skilful engine drivers Of the system.
No stops were made except to change
engines and to take on fuel and water.
The record time between Chicago
and Los Angeles is 81 hours. made by
the Lowe Special. and the record time
between Los Angeles and Chicago is
81 hours and Sc minutes, the time the
Peacock Special made in 1900.
