MEN BEHIND FAILED.

Springfield, June 26.--lt wasn t the fault of Jack Hess that Spring. field didn't add few points to it's percentage pile yesterday. The men behind failed him utterly in attempts to fathom the fat floaters sent up by the stocky Stevens of Meriden. and the Silversmiths got away with a vic tory. though making but two hits against six for the Ponies. SoffeTs slashing swipe for a triple and an outfield sacrifice produced the only run of the game.
 The tally was taken by the visit ors in the first inning and after that Hess held them in the hollow of his hand. The big fellow grew fin bower as the game wore on and it was soon apparent that Meriden. barring acci- dent, wouldn't score again. But inc one run loomed up larger as inning after inning went by with the Ponies pasting helplessly at the luscious looking Jumps Stevens sent soaring up. The score:

government contends in the extradi-

called a witness who testified that he
fought side by side with Pouren in
the Russian conflicts waged by the
revolutionary party.
This witness, Jan Osolin of Eoston
told of fleeing to this country in 1906
because he feared, he sail. that the
Russian police would murder him.
He made his testimony unusually
drmatic by the fear he displayed on
the stand lest by some inatlvertance
he might give the names of the lead
ers of the revolutionary movement.
When asked why hN feared to give
the names, Osolin replied: Their
homes would be burned and they
would be murdered. M home was

ing which probably will result in a
very heavy loss of life. Already
twenty-seven bodies have been brought
to the surface and 300 men are still
underground in grave peril. Four
hundred men were working in the pit
at the time of the disaster. About
seventy of them have been brought to
the surface. or these the majority are
more or less injured and one has since
died. One hundred and fifty men are
in shaft No. 2, and it is believed that
they are all doomed.
Rescuers arrived from all directions
and the work of getting below was at
once organized. These efforts how
ever were necessarily slow and at
tended with extreme difficulty.
At / o'clock the fire had made such
headway that the rescuers had to be
called back to give way to the fire
fighters and the flames are still
spreading.
No hopes are entertained for the
300 men still below the ground. The
violence OF the explosion caused the
walls of the galleries to fall in. A
salvage corps, armed with apparatus
to supply each man with oxygen, is
endeaVorlng to penetrate the mine.

BIG DEFICIT IN +
POSTAL RECEIPTS
Largest III Many Years But
Caused by the Advance in
Salaries

Washington, Nov. t2.-Postmaster
General Mayer announced today that
the postal deficit for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1908, amounted to
$16,910,279. The receipts were $751;
47S.633. being $7,893,657 greater than
the previous year, and expenditures
were $20S,351,SS6. The deficit is the
largest in the history Of the postoffice

shows that s$9,s91,321 represents the
advance in the rate Of compensation

of the railway mail service, rural de-
livery service, city delivery service
and assistant postmasters and clerks

A broken rail is said to have
caused the accident. The train had
made its usual two-minute stop at
Rochester and in gathering momen-
tum for its run eastward 1t had at
tained u speed said to have been about
twenty-five miles an hour when tho
break came. The train consisted Of
six Pullman coaches and the three
that were hurled from the tracks and
turned on their sides constituted tho
last half of the train. The third car
in the train was not ditched, although
it's trucks were broken. 1t was tho

journment of the session.
When speaking of his association
with Pouren, however, Osolin spoke
with freedom. He told OF the cleo
tion of Pouren to the revolutionary y
militia which army the withess said,
was organized to combat the black
hand" forces, then preyins upon the
peasants and farmers and the bs.rons
and dragons who. witness said, aid
ed in depressing the working people.
Osolin related how he himself had
been elected a member of the execu-
tive committee of the Socialist Demo-
crat party and of the efforts of that
party to secure higher wages for the
working classes and to close the gov
ernment liquor stores. Osolin told of
battle that took place at Livarn in
which Pouren fought, exhibited ex-
ceptional bravery and courage in the
face Of sharp musketry firing. There
was much testimony of the burning
Of homes the persecution Of farmers
and the like in Osolin's narrative.
The life of Pouren in the woods when
he had been made a fugitive was also
described as the witness had known
it.
With Osolin still on the stand, re-
fusing to give names, the case was
adjourned until next Thursday after
noon.

Philadelphia, Nov. 12.-The evil
dences of renewed prosperity in the
United States since the election of
William H. Taft continue to come in
from all sections of the country. To-
day thousands of men will be re-em-
ployed.
New mills are being contracted for,
old ones are starting up, mines, quar-
ries and factories of all kinds have
commenced to run on full time. and
In several districts there is a short
age of labor notably in the coke re-
gions Of Pennsylvania Following are
some OF the latest evidences:
Coke Workers Short.
Pittsburg, Nov. 12.-In the Connells-
Vile coke regions beginning today
there will be great scarcity of coke
drawers. Some days ago owners of
ovens sent out hurry call for 1000
more men, but there have been few
responses.
Operators declare that many of
their best cokemakers went home last
fall when the financial stringency
came, and have failed to return to this
part of the country
About 5000 additional ovens will be
fired in the coke regions. The Oil
phant Coke company announces the
closing of six months contract for
10000 tons weekly, which contract was
contingent upon the election of Taft.

in formal announcement that De-

The Cryder triplets were christened
Edith, Elsie and Ethel. Tall, blue
eyed and beautiful, it is recorded that
Mr.. and Mrs. Duncan Cryder. their
parents, could hardly tell them apart; !;
society never could. In 1900 the trip

annual ball.
Which one?" asked the secretary.
"Why, all three OF her, of course"
was the laughing answer.
The daily walk of the Cryder trip
lets on Fifth avenue was an event that
regularly crowded the club windows.
Identical in stature, features, coloring
and dress, the three beautiful girls
kept society guessing which was
which. But the resemblance went
further than externals. On all mat
ters of taste the triplets wero g unit.
They read tho same books, followed
