gineers Weiss and Leon offer a long explana-
ton of the dangers attending efforts to
nenetrate Pit No. 8, but it has been decided
to 90 ahead at all risks and determine be-
yond doubt whether any more men are
alive. The mining district is 80 aroused
that il ia certain bloodshed would result
il the mine authorities delayed adequate
attempts at rescue. The miners believe
firmly that there are a number OF their
comrades still living.
From one Of the chambers OF the mine
several dead bodies were removed to-day.
They we're 80 shrunken that they resembled
mummies. Physicians who examined the
bodies declared life had been extinct not
more than twenty-four hours. That opin-
ion created intense excitement, accentuat-
ing the feeling that affairs had been badly
managed at the mine.
PARIS, March 3o.-A despatch which
lacks confirmation has been received here
which states that four more men have been
rescued. They we're found In the stable Of
the mine.
n LONDON March s1.-The Daily Mail
prints a despatch from Lens stating that
eight more survivors are in the mine. 1t
is impossible yet to rescue them, but every
precaution has been taken to insure their
safety.

AGREEMENT ON HAzING BILL.
Senate Confereea Accept the House Bill
With Two Amendments.

WARRINGTON, March so,-An agreement
has been reached by the conferees on the
Annapolis Anti-Hazing bill, the Senate
members accepting the House bill with
two slight amendments to the first section.
That part Of the bill gives the Secretary Of
the Navy, upon the recommendation Of the
superintendent Of the academy, power
TO dismiss a cadet whose continued presence
at the academy is deemed inadvisable.
The amendments which the conferees
will recommend require the superintendent
of the academy to state to the Secretary
Of the Navy the facts upon which his reasons
are based, and il upon a statement by the
accused cadet a difference of alleged fact
Ia disclosed the matter shall be determined
by a court Of inquiry.
The hrst section does not deal with hazing
at all, but is intended TO confer upon the
Secretary Of the Navy power to dismiss &
cadet for other reasons. The power has
always been supposed to reside in the Secre-
tary and been 90 exercised until lately, when
a cadet took the question into court, where
it is still pending.

GEN. DAVIS ON CANAL WORK.
He FaNOrs Letting II in n Single Contract
With Contractor Free From = Hour Law.

WASHINGTON, March s0.-Gen. George
W. Da Wis Of the board Of Panama Canal
engineers, who was recalled for further
testimony to-day, declared in favor Of
letting canal work in a single contract
and giving the contractor full discretion
in the matter OF selecting labor and mater
ials and lea wing hin free from the limita-
tons Of the eight hour law. He said he
believed that half a dozen contractors
could be found in Europe and America
who could do the work and would be able
to give pond of from ten to fifty million
dolla rs.
Senator Morgan interposed the remark
that European contractors would not be
acceptable to the people of the United
Sta tes. who would insist on having the
labor done by a citizen Of the United States.
Gen. Davis replied that many foreign con-
ira ctors were at work on big projects in
the United States at present. and as a rule
they were better prepared to take care of
large underta kings than Americans were,
Gen. Davis said he believed the currency
on the Zone was unsatis-
factory, and if he we're to consider the
matter as an original proposition he would
nav all employees in American money
He spoke Of the arrangement in Porto
Rico as an ideal one and the conditions in
the two countries were similar He be-
iieyed it was a ha rdship to REQUIRE the en-
ployees to pay exchange on money sent to
the United States.

MORE FRAUD ORDERS.
Woman Inmate OF an Insane Asylum Works
a Matrimonial Scheme.

WASHINGTON. March 3O.-Behind a fraud
order issued at the Post Office Department
to-day, denying the Use Of the mails to Mrs.
Ida Grace Macumber, lies a story OF unusual
interest. The papers in the case show
that Mrs. Macumber's address is Asylum, ,
Neb. She has been an insane patient in
the State institution for a number OF years.
Reports to the Postmaster-Generai show
that she has victimized a number OF men
through a matrimonial bureau by Offering
to marry them, and obtained upon the
strength Of such promises money, engage
ment rings, dress patterns and other
articles.
1t was reported to the department that
under the laws of Nebraska the asylum
authorities had no power to intercept let
lers addressed to Mrs. Macumber, and
that they were, therefore, unable TO pre-
vent the practice OF the fraud. Accord
ingly, the Postmaster-Genera was asked
to issue an order prohibiting the
from using the mails. All letters addressed
to her in the future relating to matrimony
will be marked with the word
and returned to the senders.
T. Carl. or Il. c. Carl, Station NJ, New
York. wa also debarred from the use Of
the United States mails. These names
were found to be fictitious. The person
using them advertised that he was 50 years
Of age and that at the age Of 81 he came
into a large fortune. but that he lost it play
ing the races. He thereupon get to work
to d evi@e a system 10 beat the horses, and
was successful. Through his system he
recovered his fortune, and being unselfsh
he wanted to let others in on a good thing.
1t cost a small sum to get In touch with the
tipster. The postal officials decided that
Tear and I. c. Carl was one and the same
person and was operating a scheme to de-
fraud. Hence the fraud order.
Reece T. Boyer, who had a long string OF
aliases, and who conducted a speciality
company at Concord, \. g., was another
of to-day's victims Of the fraud order
division of the Post Office department.
He advertised that he would pay $50 cash
to all persons who would forward him
pennies of the date Of 1880. Those who
bit received a reply notifying them to
forward 10 cents for further instructions
Then they were told TO forward a remittance
for membership in a pretended a~ssocia-
ton and for certain manual of the prices
OF old coins The came the answer to
the puzzle in the form Of a notice that the
speciality company would pay them $50
for /, $50 PENNIES of the 1870 date.

MAY NOT ALLOW
SMITHS CLAIM
Commissioners to Act Monday
on His Bill Connected with
LOCke'S Return.
$50 MAY BE GIVEN HIM
ENTIRE BILL is $115, THE BIG
GEST PART OF WHICH THE
SHERIFF WILL LIKELY HAVE
TO PAY HIMSELF.

The claim of Sheriff Richard S.
Smith for S115, expenses attacned to
the return to Richmond of John Locke,
will beacted upon Monday by the COM
missioners, but it will not be allowed,
owing to the fact that Locke escaped
from jail before he could be tried, and
aside from a possibility that $50 of
the clam will be paid, Sheriff Smith
will have to stand all the expense.
At the last session of the commits
sioners the matter was discussed, but
was aid over another month, until an
itemized bill could be submitted. One
of the commissioners stated last even
ing that not a cent would be allowed
were it not for the fact that before a
man was sent to California to get
Locke, one of the Commissioners
made a half promise that the county
would pay $50. This promise may
be kept, and again, it may be disre.
garded altogether.
Pubic sentiment seems to be against
allowing any of the claim. A reward
of 500 was offered for the capture
of Locke before hs arrest in Califor-
mia. Owing to the fact that Rich
mond authorities located Locke, only
half the reward was paid. The other
$65 of S1lith's claim is for incidental
expenses on the trip.

Jury Went Out at Five Thirty
and Had Not Reached a
Decision at Nine.
JUDGES INSTRUCTIONS
FULL EXPLANATION is GIVEN
THE JURY IN REGARD TO DIF-
FERENT CONCLUSIONS THEY
MIGHT REACH.

Attorneys for plaintiff and defend
ant in the Sudhoff damage suit spent
yesterday in arguing their case be-
fore the jury. About four o'clock
Judge H. C. Fox commenced to read
his instructions and at five-thirty. the
jury was sent to its room. A warhing
was given by the judge not to render
a verdict after nine o'clock, and as no
report was made prior to that time
it is presumed that the jury could not
reach an understanding.
For a damage suit with so many
difficult legal points involved, the
Sudhoff case has gone through the
courts very rapidly. 1t commenced
Monday morning, and in two days all
evidence was in. Wednesday was
Decoration Day and there was no
court yesterday, the attorneys lost no
time in arguing and a verdict is ex-
pected early this morning.
The instructions to the jury, by
Judge Fox, contained a clear expla-
nation of the law in the many points
involved. Contributory negligence on
the part of the dead engineer, John G..
Sudhoff, whose widow is asking the
Pennsylvania Railroad for $4,000,
negligence on the part of other en-
ployes, and the liability of the rail-
road company in the case, were thor
oughly treated in thes instructions.

able Mention by Dayton News.

An editorial in a recent issue OF
the Dayton News, written by Mr..
George F. Burga, editor, speaks in
highly complimentary terms of Mr.. E
R. Beatty, a we'll known resident of
Richmond. Mr.. Beatty is called the
richest man in Richmond, although
the author says he does not pay as
much tax as others because his
wealth is a nature love which is not
taxable. The article grew out of an
acquaintance which Mr.. Burba has
with Mr. Beatty and the chance the
editor was given recently to see Mr.
Beatty and the many birds which
flock about his home, THE Pines," on
East Main street.
