were swung from the davits ready
for use in case the boat did begin to
settle.

HEAVY RAINFALL.
THIS MONTHS FALL PROMISES
TO EXCEED 19O4'S RECORD.
Outlook Is, Therefore, Good for just
Such River As That Of
Year Named.

The rainfall this month bids fair
to exceed that of two years ago, dur
ing 1901, when the river rose to an
excessive stage and threatened a du-
plication of the conditions in 1884.
With two more days to go on the fall
will, from every indication. exceed
seven inches, the maximum in 1904.
The records in Weather Observer
William Borneman's office show the
rainfall since the first of the month.
to be 6.72, and since yesterday morn
ing fall of Las, very heavy fall
for one day and night. The indica-
tions are for more rain and Observer
Borneman thinks that there will be
high stage of water this spring.
''The rain has been unusually hea-
Wy this year." Mr.. Borneman replied
in answer to a Sun reporters query,
"and It looks like we will have high
water this season If it does not cease
raining soon. / find after examining
my records that the rainfall for
March to date is 6.72, while in March
1905 It was only $40. In March 1904
the rainfall was 6.99, but there are
two more days to go on yet this
month before the maximum is re-
corded, and it looks like this month
will go ahead of 1904"
The weather records show an un-
usually high stage of the river in
1904 and the conditions were in a
measure the same as they are now.
only worse this year in many ways.

Baltimore. Md, March S0.-This
morning much disorder prevailed at
Towson Seat. Baltimore county,
where the authorities attempted to
hang Isaac Winder. colored. a muir
der and Jail breaker. The people
tore down the barricade erected
about the Jail yard and the police
we're unable to cope with them. The
crowd was so dense the sheriff was
unable to execute the negro. who
could not even be taken 10 the scaf-
fold. Sheriff Elliott expects to car
ry out the law, but his ability to do
SO looks hopeless.
LATER was finally
forced through the crowd and hanged
He struggled and fought desperate
~, but was beaten into submission
by Sheriff Elliott and several as
sistants and placed on the trap. This
was the most exciting scene ever
witnessed at an execution in Mary

Bluffton, Ind. March, so. - The
city council mas Increased the price OF
retail liquor license to $3.50 a year,
which is the limit, and the ordinance
also requires that the applicant must
pass an examination before the city
council in order to be licensed. They
will be required to show that they
are men of good moral character, who
have not violated the liquor law, and
that they will comply with its re-
quirements. They are also compelled
to file their application five days be-
fore the meeting of the city council,
and the city attorney must attend
and examine as to their moral quail,
fications. Two violations of the law
will make It possible for the city
council or the mayor to revoke the

it compulsory upon the city council
to do so. The clerk is penalized for
issuing a license to an applicant who
has not been examined, and the may
or is empowered to see that all laws

him back. The trousers were weak

His leg was skinned by the contact

companion not caught him in time
to prevent his being drawn into the

OUR FASTEST BATTLEsHIP.
The New Jersey Can Outstrip Any
Other War Craft.

Washington, March 30.-It has
been well demonstrated that the bat
tleship New Jersey is the govern
ment's swiftest traveller. Her per-
formance yesterday in maintaining a
speed of 1918 knots an hour In u
Nour-hour endurancel trial coupled
with her remarkable speed Wednes-
day at an 19.4S knots an hour gait
places her at the head of all Ameri-
can built battleships, so far as speed
is concerned. Her average speed of
1918 knots per hour is compared
with 1901 made by the Rhode Island

ago.
At one time yesterday the New Jer

CONCERNING COAL
THE QUESTION Is NOW AN IN

Local Dealers DO Not Know What to
Expect and Say Operators
DO Not.

A coal famine Is immenent in Padu
cab. Some OF the big consumers are
now only getting enough coal to run
from day TO day and do not know
where they will be when the big
strike, which is called for April LIST.
goes into effect. The railroads have
been laying in supplies of coal for
many months in anticipation OF the
strike, but even they are not in the
best possible condition for meeting
the situation.
Local coal dealers interviewed to-
day said they did not know what the
conditions would be. whether there
would be a coal shortage In Paducah
or not, and said even the mine op-
orators don't know, as they do not
know what men, nor how many, will
go out on a strike.
The West Kentucky Coal COM
pany has the street car company, and
the city electric light plant con-
tracts, and said today they would
have no trouble in keeping them
supplied. II is fortunate that the
warm season is near at hand. for
with no one knowing what to expect
the situation would be anything but
pleasant.

Fourteen Ent0mbed Miners
Found Alive After 20 Days.
We're Imprisoned i'm Great Disaster
ut Lens. France. Early This
Month.
| REMARKABLE EXPERIENCE

Lens, France, March 30.-Four-
teen more of the miners entombed in
the Courrieres' mine at the time of
the great disaster on the 10th of this
month were taken from the mine
this morning by a searching party
which had persisted in its efforts to
find them or their bodies since the
day of the horror. There were 800
miners in the mine the day of the
accident, which resulted from an ex-
plosion of gas. and only a small part
of these then escaped perhaps $50
fleeing TO safety in various ways
Later something Ike as many more
were found more or less hurt by res
cuing parties and taken from the
shaft. Since then the work of rescue
has continued and much to the sur
prise of any one the, party saved to-
day were found alive in that section
where the mules were stabbed. The
appearance of the men with their
rescuers at the mouth of the pit
created the greatest excitement.
The rescued men lived the twenty
days they were confined shut out
entirely from light and almost de-
prived of air and when reached with
one exception all were we'll. After
being found the men were taken to
the foot of the shaft and quickly
lifted to the ground above to the
arms of relatives and families who
had long concluded that they were
dead.
Every one of the rescued men had
a more or less horrifying experience
to relate. All united in saying that
when the explosion occurred and
they recognized that they were cut
off from escape by the shaft, that
they took refuge in the stables
wherein the mine mules were kept
and there subsisted for days on the
lunches which they or their asso-
tldltS Hdu ldhCH iutO inc hiihc lut
day of the disaster. These lunches
were made to last as long as possi-
BILE, but after they had been eaten
up the men say they turned for food
to the wheat and oats which was in
the feed bins and troughs for the
mules. There was, however little
in this food and 1t was
but a matter of a few hours when
they would have succumbed. Judging
from their condition when found.
One of the rescued miners was
boy of fourteen who endured the
TO which all the Others
were subjected with apparently as
little harm as any of the others sus-
1t was all the time thought that
some of the imprisoned men had
found their way to the mule stables
and would be found there. but 1t was
little expected after SO long a con-
finement that any of them would be
found alive.
