Old Time Fourth For Sag Harbor.

The town of Sag Harbor, n. Y, has
demanded a return to the customs of
the fathers. 1t has decided to cele
brate the coming Fourth of July as it
was observed Il half century ago,
writes James III. Kennedy, New York
correspondent of the Cleveland Plain
Dealer. Lawn tennis and automobile
excursions are to be barred. The Occa-
sion is to revive memories and remove
the dust from the patriotic landmark
The bells are to be rung and cannon
fired at daybreak. There will be a pa
rade, led by drum corps. The star
spangled banner will be carried by a
veteran of 1861. The people are to as
semble in a grove. where the Declara-
ton of Independence and Washing

Top of Singer Building to Be Cut OF
For Three Story Addition.

4 portion of the upper part of the
great Singer building, at Liberty street
and Broadway, New York, is to be
sliced off and three additional stories
sandwiched in between the seventh and
eleventh floors, says the New York
Times. Work on the Scaffolding be-
gan the other day, and n small army Of
men will be occupied night and day
until it is completed. The undertaking
is confined to the original corner build
| ing, which is to be n part of the mon
ster forty one story structure now be-
ing erected, the tallest office building
| in the world
According to Ernest FlagS, the arch
itect, the surgical operation is neces-
sary in order that the old eleven story
| building shall conform in height and
| outline to the new fourteen story addi-
| ton above. from the center of which
will rise the 612 foot tower. 1t is also
necessitated by the fabulous realty
values in lower Broadway. the policy
of the owners being to increase the
height of the old building in order tC
obtain 5000 square feet of additional
| Office space.

the famous astronomer of the United

in Montgomery City, Mo, recently
gave out IL remarkable interview, says
a Montgomery City special dispatch to
the Chicago Tribune.
He says he has discovered the one
of natural phenomena-the secular
leakage of the ocean bottom which
gives rise to the development of steam
beneath the earth's crust owing to the
earth's internal heat. He also points
out that the chief danger of these agi-
tatiOnS is along the SeacoaSt, and,
while serving Il useful purpose. it is
well to be prepared for their visitation
to prevent great destruction of life and
property. as has often happened. ow-

1T seems to be clearly proved" said
DR. See. that the earth is not con

science. but that the effects of secular
cooling of the globe are insenSible. II
l am not entirely mistaken, l have
shown that the earth. so far from con

In any case, earthquakes and volca

SOUTH CAROLINIANS
LIKE ASSIGNMENTS
Congressman Pleased With Their
Committees State Has Two
Hands in Pork Barrel.

A Washington special to the Co.
lumbia State says:
Washington, Dec. 19.-Tae men,
bers Of the lower house of congress
from South Carolina are very much
pleased with the committee assign
meats which they were given today.
They one and all declare that they
got the very committees upon which
they can do the very best possible
work for South Carolina as we'll
as the ones which will advance them
selves in potency in congress. The
star assignment-that is of the as
sig1ments- that Of EIlerbe Of the
Sixth district, who goes to rivers
and harbors. This was a much CO.
veted position, as it has to do with
what is known as the pork barrel and
Ellerbe was recommended for it by
the whole South Carolina delegation.
Johnston of the fourth district
has a position on public buildings and
grounds, the other pork barrel CON-
mittee.
South Carolina is represented now
with two hands in the barrel.
Aiken gets position on the dis
trict committee, for which he is con-
sidered we'll qualified by reason OF
his intimate acquaintance with Wash
inytfn and Washington affairs.
Lever has his old committees, edu-
cation and agriculture. He is the
ranking Democrat on the education
committee and is next to the ranking
Democrat on the agricultural COM
mittee.
Finley goes up one peg on the
postoffice and post roads committee
! bv reason Of the fact that Griggs OF
Georgia goes to ways and means.
Leeare is on industrial arts and ex-
positions and patents. He resigned
from banking and currency several

II can see nothing ii f"cts as
stated in violatioI. ii : ,.,:; Of the
state. The pers:.as at" transporting
liquors openly in TIL day time and
under the projection Of the inter-
state commerce laws and there Is
nothing to indicate from the facts
stated any unlawful purpose on the
part Of the carriers; on the contrary,
the carriers are described as good,
honest, reliable men. It is my opinion
that the case of Jaro VS.. Holstein, 73
S. c., is conclusive in tnis case. The
following language will be found on
page 116: The judge charged the
jury, in substance, that while one
may lawfully transport liquor into
this state for his own and others
personal use, yet that if it was beng
transported for al unlawful purpose
it was liable to seizure and the par
ty liable to arrest. " And al
so we think that Interstate commer-e Z
will not protect intoxicating liquors
imported into this tsate for unlawful
purposes. if the Importation is in
such way as to make the carrier an
alder and abettor in the scheme to
violate state laws?'
"In the case Of the State VS.. Hol-
leyman the following language is
found: "A package of whiskey sold
in Norta Carolina by a resident dis
tiller to a resident Of this state for
personal use and by the North Car
olina distiller delivered in that state
to the South Carolina purchaser, and
by him transported in buggy from
North Carolina into South Carolina,
does not arrive in South Carolina as
to be subject to the police regula-
tions of the dispensary laws as
against Interstate commerce regula-
tions until the purchaser arrives with
his buggy and whiskey at his home in
this state.
"It will be noticed in the case pre-
sented by Sheriff QUITS that there is
an entire absence Of any suggestion
that the liquors in question are for
unlawful use or that the carrier was
an alder or an abettor in a scheme
to violate the state laws.
"It is therefore my opinion that
the whiskey being transported un-
der such circumstances can not be
lawfully seized or confiscated.
"However, if you find person
carrying liquor from another state to
a person in this state and upon dellv-
cry receives payment for this liquor,
either for himself or for another IL
quer dealer in another state, the car
rier is indictable and the liquor
should be confiscated.

WAGON WHISKEY.'
Sheriff QUITS Writes Gov. Ansel on
Important Point-Some Edge
field Shipments.
Columbia State.

Columbia State.
Attorney General Lyon, at the re-
quest Of Gov. Ansel. has given an
important opinion as to the right Of
officers Of the law to seize whiskey
transported in wagons by men sup
posed to be reliable, honest citizens.
The question came up from Edgefeld
county on a query from Sheriff QUITS.
The letter from that official states
that there is a quantity Of whiskey
hauled to various points in the coun-
ty, most of it being interstate ship
ments. The sheriff wanted to know if
this could be seized and the attorney
general rules that if in the Judgment
of the sheriff the shipments were in
ter-state and they were intended tor
tha consumers and not paid for on
ar; wal there could be no seizures.
There have been several letters
along the line Of the communication
from Sheriff QUITS and the opinion
in full will be interesting to many. 1t
it as follows:

ANOTHER MINE HORROR.
Over Two Hundred Men Entombed
at Jacobs Greek, Pa, On
Thursday.

Jacobs Creek, Pa, Dec. l9.-An
explosion Of gas in the Darr mine OF
the Pittsburg Coal company, located
here, today entombed between 200
and 25O miners and there is scarcely
a ray Of hope that single one OF
them will be taken from the mines
alive. Partially wrecked buildings in
the vicinity of the mines and the con-
dition of the few bodies found early
in the rescue work indicate an ex-
plosion of such terrific force that it
seems impossible that any one could
have survived it. Ali of the 13 bodies
taken out up to this time are terri
blv mutilated and three of them are
aeadless. This is the third mine dis
aster since the first of the month il
the veins Of bituminous coal unaerly-
ing western Pennsylvania and West
Virginia, for the Naomi mine, near
Fayette City, and the two mines al
Monongah. ". Va, in which the
earlier explosions happened, are in
the same belt as the local workings.
Today's catastrophe swells the num-
Der Of victims of deadly mine gas for
the l9 days to between $50 and 900.
Devotion to Church Duties.
That today's disaster does not
equal or even surpass in loss Of life
and attendant horrors Of the one in
West Virginia is due to the devotion
to church duties of a considerable
7umber Of the miners. In obser-
vance Of the church festival many Of
the 400 or more men regularly en-
pioyed at the mine did not go to
work this morning. Those who es-
capped through this reason are MEN,
bers Of the Greek Catholic church
and they suspended work to celebrate
ST. Nicholas day.
AS was the case at Monongah the
explosion followed a brief shutdown
the Darr mine having been closed
Tuesday and Wednesday. It was
11:30 o'clock when the tenth trip OF
loaded cars had been brought out to
the tipple and there came an awful
rumbling sound followed Immediate
ly by loud report and a conclusion
that shook nearby buildings and was
felt within radius Of several miles.
One Remarkable Feature.
One remarkable feature Of this
disaster is the almost complete ab-
sence Of narrowing scenes usually
enacted by women friends and rela-
tives Of the victims. Conditions pre-
venting of easy access to the mouth
Of the mine are partly responsible
for this and those in charge Of the
work are doing everything possible
to keep the women and children
away.
All who approach are turned back
to their homes, after being assured
taat they can do absolutely nothing
to benefit their loved ones, and that
the company will do everything pos
,sible to bring out the men, dead or
alive.
The blacksmith shop has been fit
ted up as temporary morgue and
a number Of physicians are in wait
