AN OVERDRAFT.
The Reason For n Peculiar Request
Received by Bank

Received by IA Bank.
I'VE often receive peculiar requests
for overdrafts," said banker the 9th
er day. a client whose standing ac-
count had never exceeded $1,000 re
quested us to grant him an overdraft
of $4,000, stating that he was not able
20 offer any explanation at the present,
but assured us that at no time would
the bank be in any danger of losing, as
the overdraft would not be real
After some hesitancy we consented,
but stipulated certain conditions and
reserved the privilege of refusing If
these conditions were not followed.
Shortly after his departure a well
dressed gentleman came In and handed
to our paying teller a check for $1,000
bearing the signature Of our client and
with 1t a letter requesting us to honor
the check with cash. This letter was
one of the conditions we imposed for
our safety. Still feeling that we were
taking chance, the money was passed
out to him. After holding the currency
a moment In his hands he returned it,
with request for the check, which he
destroyed before us
"On the following day our client
thanked US for our courtesy and waiv-
ed the overdraft privilege, saying that
he had no further use for It, He had
with him a check for $1,000, which he
deposited. This he had won from his
friend on bet. He had bet that he
could negotiate an overdraft for that
amount without first explaining that
1t was bet and the nature of it, and
his friend wagered that no bank would
trust him for that Kansas
City Star.

Announcement. A
TEN MEN DASHED
into ETERNITY

WILKESBARRE April 26.-Anoth-
er appalling disaster occurred this
morning at the Oonyngham mine. when
ten miners. while descending the shaft.
were hurled into eternity by the break
ing of the cable Their names are as
follows:
Michael Zayants, married. Leaves
wife and four children i'll the old
country. Resided in Georgetown.
John Zhase, married, wife and four
children. Resided at North Main and
Kulp streets.
James MarmataIielek, married, wife
and six children. Resided in George
town.
Anthony Zayants, married, leaves
wife and no children. Resided in
Georgetown.
William T. Haney, married, leaves
wife and two children. Resided on
North Pennsylvania avenue.
John Juritski, i, married, leaves a wife
and two children. Resided 3l7 Wyom-
ing avenue.
Anthony Zelyic, married, leaves a
wife and four children. Resided at 3l3
Wyoming avenue.
Lawrence Warwick. married, leaves
wife and four children. Resided at
5l3 Wyoming avenue.
Frank Rogul, married, leaves wife.
Resides at 81 Ralph street.
Harry NJ Graw, labcrer.
1t was one of that class of accidents
which cannot be rightfully or correct
" explained, for the officials were
positive in their declaration. that the
cable was examined daily and not the
slightest sign of a defect could be
found in any part of it. They regrett-
ed the accident as much as anyone and
worked hard and diligently to locate
the bodies and succeeded after hours
of strenuous efforts.
The bodies of the unfortunate men
were horribly mangled. Some did not
have a sound bone. The flesh in GER
tain parts was torn into ribbons. Blood
poured from the wounds 1t was said +,
il was pititul and sorrowful to OBJ
serve the procession of the bodies from
the head of the shaft TO the ambulance
wagons. 1t was scene where there
were no smiles, but horrified express
sion on every face.
For how could it be otherwise, as
the miners left their home, and their
loved ones without the slightest pre-
monition of trouble or the doom that
awaited them. They reported at the
usual hour, gave their number to the
clerks at the office and then made their
way TO the head Of the shaft. Two
carriage loads descended to the bot
tom. Ten men got on the third. They
laughed and joked with each other, as
miners usually do and there were no
sad faces when the ten men left the
surface and descended into the mine.
When the cage neared the Hillman
vein. Engineer William Cunningh am,
slowed the engines. with the intention
of stopping at this landing, but while
in the act OF doing SO. the cable snap
ped and the carriage, with It's load Of
human freight descended to the bot
tom, a distance of four hundred feet.
The ride of these unfortunate men
can be better imagined than described
Ii did not take the carriage long to get
headway and with terrific speed it
rushed TO the bottom, carrying its load
OF human beings to eternity.

Charles Hanson, the famous English
architect, was talented man In many
respects other than In the exercise e3
his profession. He was dining On a
certain day with a few friends when
one of them taunted him with being
unable to invent vehicle which would
supersede the old fashioned hacks and
cabs In universal use In London. Mr.
Hanson got a sheet Of paper, and
without any delay he sketched out hts
Idea of safe and convenient mode Of
passing through the crowded streets
OF the great metropolis. His friends
watched him while he was at work
and unanimously appIauded the sketch
which he had drawn. They dubbed it
by the name OF its inventor and il wa1
then and there called a Hanson car"
One Of those present advised him to
take out patent for it which he said
he would do on the morrow. Howev-
er, there was one dishonest man tn the
company, by whom he was forestalled,
for on reaching his own house that
evening and being, like Mr.. Hanson,
q clever craftsman, as al great archi-
tects are, he sketched out q car like
the drawing he had seen, and early the
following morning he took IL to the
Office and got out patent for II In
his own name, thus robbing the talent

THE EGG DANCE.
A Curious Easter Custom of Ancient
France-A Royal Romance.

France-A hOyaI
In very ancient times Il most curious
Easter custom prevailed in France
Wooing lads and laSses would come
forward as applicants for the egg and
matrimonial dance" A hundred eggs
were arranged on level sward spread
with sand, and all the young tenantry
selected their partners To dance on the
green among the eggs.
The story is told by an old chronicler
that Philibert, duke of Savoy, was out
hunting and, being in the neighborhood
OF the beautiful palace of Margaret Of
Flanders, called to pay his respects to
her All the tenantry We're dancing on
the green. the eggs We're laid, and the
lovers were treadng Il measure Of the
national dance amid them. Few there
were who managed to dance through
without breaking some Of the obstruc-
tions. If they succeeded not even the
may" of the parents prevailed to break
up the match. 1t was an evidence Of
the intentions Of Providence to smile
on the union.
While many had tried and been un-
successful. the duke besought the prin-
cess to try the dance with him. Though
it was the first time they had met, she
agreed, and they executed the national
dance without breaking an egg. They
were greeted with enthusiastic cheers,
and, as it was sure sign that they
were affianced by divine will and their
welded life would be one of great
bliss, they bowed to the fates that or
dained it so, and in the sentiment OF
the romance they were married and
lived happily ever after."-Philadelph
