Card of Thanks.

We wish to thank our friends all over
this county, and a few outside of Taze-
well county, for their generous contri-
buttons to our lunch which was served
at the Fair. After paying all expenses
we have little over 5000 clear, and in
addition to this we have our dishes,
knives and forks, our tables and carpen-
ter's work ready for next year.
We count this good return, and the
people of the county made it possible.
Very few failed to help us in some
way-and many sent more abundantly
than we had ever hoped for-all sent
good, well prepared food
This, our first trial was a venture.
We know now how we might have man.
aged better-but we count this knowl-
edge with our assets, and already we
are planning for next year. We ask all
friends of our work to put something by
for US, and next year we intend to give
even better report.

dren-COrOner'S Jury Returns
Their Verdict.
Knoxville, Tenn, Sept. PA spe-
cial from Jellico tonight says that at
the coroner's inquest in the Tennessee
town today testimony was heard that
about fifteen men were standing near
the car of dynamite which exploded
Friday morning, and all are supposed to
have been killed. None of them are
known. A country woman living near
Jellico visited the place searching Tor
five children to whom she gave permis-
sion to 90 to Jellico Friday and attend
a circus. It is feared that they were
also killed by the explosion, and that
the full list of dead will never be
known. The body of an unknown girl
probably two years OLD was Iouhd Ooo"y
in a field half-mile from the scene OF
the explosion. 1t was perfectly nude, but
not mangIed. Mayors Baird and Stew
art. of the two Jellicos, today issued an
appeal for aid. The Knoxville board OF
trade held general citizens meeting
tonight, at which subscriptions were
taken for the explosion sufferers. Many
of the poor at Jellico are destitute OF
food, and there will be much suffering
unless the situation is Immediately re-
lieved.
The coroner's jury in Jellico, Ken
lucky, finished it's investigation today
and rendered a verdict that the explo-
sion was due to the criminal negligence
of either the Louisville and Nashville
or Southern railways, or both, or their
employees.

DRIFT FOUR DAYS ON RAFT.
Four Men Swept of Overturned wreck
by Big sea-SurvIvors Swim Two
Hours Before Getting on Cabin Roof

Norfolk, Va, Sept. 22.-From Mon
day morning until Thursday evening
as darkness was drawing near, thirst
ing and starving, but for three small
fishes which were cast up by the sea
upon the bit of wreckage on which they
rode, and were divided and devoured
raw, John Koerber and Karsten Bernt-
sen, seamen aboard the late three
masted schooner Nelson E. Newbury,
of New York, Captain Bernard, rode
on a raft on the sea off this coast, alter
mating between faint hope and deep
despair, until the steamer Egda came
along and saved them.
The men who were landed here this
morning by Captain Thomas Olsen. are
absolutely destitute. They were turn
ed over to United States immigration
Inspector Morton, who, having no au-
thority to furnish the men with food
nor send them to New York, where
they wish to go, sought Rev. J. b.
Merritt, of the Seamen's Friend Soci-
ciety, with a view to getting him to
raise money for their needs.
HURRICANE AFTER LONG CALM.
The story which they told Of their es-
cape from death and the drowning OF
their shipmates, is particularly pathetic.
They said that the Newbury sailed from
Port Royal, S. c., September 9, FOL
New York with cargo and a deck loac
of lumber; that they were becalmec
outside for eight days but on last Mon
day morning when the cook said they
were off Charleston, hurricane struck
them, which, within fifteen minutes
stripped every sail from the vessel.
Next the deck load on the lee side
was washed and blown overheard
Then the schooner dipped her stern ant
the cabin deck was washed away
Within few seconds the vessel wa'
turned over and all hands tried t.
climb over the weather side. A big se'
came then and swept four OF the SD
men off the wreck, and the survivors
who never saw them again, are con
fident they were drowned.
SWIM FOR TWO HOURS.
Koerber and Bernstein swan about To-
two hours, alternating in the water ant
upon some three-inch planks torn from
the deck load by the waves. Final!
both men, good swimmers, got atop O
the cabin roof, and although the wave
rolled over this for many hours, the!
hung there until they were rescued.
The cabin table cloth, which the.
found hanging on a hook, an oilskil
coat anG a pair of overalls were heiste'
above the raft and waved by the men
who shouted and screamed when passini
ships were sighted. Fifteen steamer
passed them, some of them so close tina
they could see their rigging, before tn
Egda came.
