ton With Equitable Society.
New York, June 6.--Jacob II. SchiR,
head of the firm of Kuhn, Loeb & Co..
bankers, rendered his resignation as
director Of the Equitable Life Assur-
ance Society.
In his letter Of resignation to Presi-
dent Alexander, Mr. Sohiff says in
part;
Throughout the recent controversy
I have studiously refrained from any
action which might add to the compli-
cations with which the society has
been struggling; have even remained
silent in the face of many malicious
and baseless statements regarding the
business transactions between my
firm and the society which has been
disseminated through your agents,
notwithstanding your failure TO pub
licly disavow and deny these state
ments. instead Of sending mo (as you
have recently done) private messages
expressive Of regret for the indiscreet
and over-zealous actions OF your
friends"
T. jefferson Coolidge. Of Boston, and
Melville f. ingalls,. Of Cincinnati, also
resigned as directors.

One Was Injured.
Wilkesbarre. Pa, June 6.-The fan
house at Mount Lookout colliery, at
Wyoming, six miles from here. was
burned to the ground. The structure
was located close to the top of the
main shaft. from which the coal is
hoisted The flames communicated to
the timbers Of the main head shaft.
which was also destroyed. AS soon as
the fire was discovered news was at
once sent to the foot of the shaft and
men were hurried in all directions in
the various openings of the mine,
warning the miners and boys TO hurry
out. AS quickly as possible many Of
them congregated at the foot of the
shaft and were hoisted to the surface
all escaping without injury. AS they
jumped from the cages they were met
by fully 1000 men, women and chill
dren, who had fiocked to the scene,
where immense excitement was occa-
stoned until it was made known that
all were saved. There was little dan
ger of the fire communicating to the
inside workings. The only danger that
was to be feared was from smoke and
gas accumulating in the workings. as
a result of the stoppage OF the fan
used to ventilate the mine.

A Western Wife,

She walked behind the tagging mules
That drew the breaker through the
soil:
Hers were the early rising rules;
Hers were the ewes OF wifely toll
The smitten prairie hlossomed fair;
The sod home faded from the scenes
Firm gables met the whispering air;
Deep porches lent repose serene.
But withering brow and snowy tress
Bespeak the early days of strife,
And there's the deeper wrought I'm.
press
The untold pathos OF the wife.
Oh. western mother. In thy praise
No artist paints nor poet sings,
But from thy rosary of days
Gods angels shape immortal wingsl

THE NINETY AND NINE.n

The story Of the Ninety and Nine,
which will play single engagement
at Polls tonight, while not new one
. to stagedom, has been treated so clev-
4erly by the author, Ramsey Morris,
that 1t has developed into a stage Of
fering of more than usual merit. Tom
Singleton, falsely accused man, in
the moment of his inability to estab-
lish his innocence, turns to drink and
sinks lower and lower in. the moral
scale He is arrested In his down
ward fight by the hand of womar,
"a woman touched by the most beauti-
ful OF all human motives-love-an
answers the call nobly. at the crucial
moment, when the villain of the play,
though his private car and engine
stand ready to move, refuses to allow
his driver to run to the succor of a
village Of few hundred souls, who
are caught by raging prairie fire
and cut off from all hope of rescue.
'Tmusting aside the owner and his
tools, the hero leaps upon the engine
and throwing wide open the throttle,
commences his mad dash through a
sea Of fire. The flames leaping up the
sides of the huge engine, in the en-
deavor to devour the grimy-facctl
man at the lever. whose eyes are fixed
on the smoke enveloped track ahead
while his faithful fireman stands dash.
Ing water over him to prevent him
fainting at his self-imposed tasll.
makes a thrilling picture Prices are

A REMINDER OF PAUL JONES
Cannon Which the American Naval
Hero Captured and Which Fair
haven, Mass, Holds as Relic.

Residents Of Fairhayen, Mass, have
been specially interested in the finding
in Pris of the body of Paul Jones, the
father of the American navy and its
return to this country, says lne Boston
Globe.
Paul Jones participated in fight in
Buzzards bay in 1777. He was execu-
tive officer on the ship Alfred, % guns,
under the command of Ezekial Hop
kins. The Alfred sailed from Delaware
bay February II of that year to cruise
with a fleet to intercept English YES
sells. The Alfred entered the harbor of
Nassau, West Indies, March 2 and took
Gen. Brown, the acting governor, pris-
oner. A large quantity OF military
stores and 100 cannon were captured.
which were landed at New London "a
days from the date of sailing from Del
aware bay.
A number of these cannon were sent
to Fairhaven a short time later and
mounted at Fort Phoenix. There they
did excellent service in protecting the
town from British fleets. The British,
when they visited the town in ITS,
spiked the guns and rendered them
useless.
The late Capt. Nathaniel Pope Sc
cured one Of these guns and fastened
it with straps of iron on carriage. 1t

was removed and left lying in the lot
at the foot Of Washington street, near
the corner Of Water. Later it was
transferred to the residence of Wilson
Pope, a descendant of Capt. Nathaniel
Pope.
Capt. Alexander Winsor, man Of
considerable public spirit, was instrus
mental in having 1t removed In 1881
to its former location at Phoenix hall
