ENTOMBED ONE MONTH
But the Three Miners Are Still Well
and Hearty.

A dispat h from Ely. New, says
the six inch water pipe through
which air is famed to the three
miners that have been entombed for
month became bent by the pres
sure of rock and earth at the 900
foot level and for time no air could
be sent to the men. Rescurers, BY
redoubling efforts, reached in few
hours the break and repaired the
pipe. The men are still we'll, but

For Seats at Entertainment in q
London Hall.
TRAMP Led TO DEATH.
Sixteen Children Under the Feet Of
Excited Mass OF Human Beings,
Who Became Panic Stricken and
Rushed for the Exits Of the Build
mgs. and Forty Others More Or
Less Severely Injured.

At Barnsley, England, sixteen
children were trampled to death
and forty others, several of whom
can not live, were injured in a mad
rush for better seats at an enter
tainment given in the public hall
there Saturday afternoon.
There was a great rush to secure
admittance to the entertainment,
and when the show opened every
seat was taken and the gallery was
literally packed with children, who
nlle6 the aisles and were danger
ously massed against the lower rail-
ing.
With view to relieving this
crow6ing in the gallery, the attend
ants decided to transfer some OF the
children to the body Of the house
and one of the ushers called out:
Some Of you children. come
down stairs
Immediately the rush started and
within a few seconds hundreds O.
children were being trampled under
foot. Even those who had seats in
the gallery, doutless being panic
stricken by the screams and strug-
giles of the crowds fighting to reach
the staircases, joined in the STAN
pede.
The scene was a terrible one, the
cries of the injured and means OF
the dying causing the greatest ex-
citement among those gathered ID
the body Of the hall.
Police and ushers rushed to the
head of the staircases, which were
literally strewn with dead and dying,
and by the most desperate efforts
managed to drag scores OF the strug-
cling children to the corridors below
It was with the greatest difficulty
that panic among the children IN
the lower part Of the house was
averted, all Of these being eventual
" being taken to the street in safe
ty.
When the reserve police arrived
they found the narrow stairway prac-
tically blocked with bodies which
were crushed in some cases almost
beyond recognition. Scores OF chill
dren were forced by the pressure
by the crowd behind them to scran-
bic over those that had fallen, wheth-
er living or dead, and many Of the
injured children were found later to
be suffering from fractured bones
and severe laceracions. caused by
the indescribabIe manner in which
they had been trampled upon.
Soon after the accident the ap-
proaches to the hall were crowded
with sobbing women searching foI
their missing children.

fired THE AGENT.
Railroad Officials Must Be Care
full How They Talk.
How the Southern Railway Punish.
ed an Employee for Discourtesy
Towards Its Patrons.

Generally citizens who have rea-
son to complain against the rail-
roads or the tsieraone or Telegraph
companies do plenty of kicking and
incidentally roast the railroad COM
mission pretty thoroughly for not
requiring better service, instead of
taking the proper course and lmme-
diately notifying the commission in
writing, so that the proper remedy
may be applied" says the Columbia
Record.
Not 80, however. with FIVE we'll
known travelling men who happened
to be ct Blackrille one night during
the month Of November. They prov
ed gratifying exception. The par
ty were waiting at Blackville for a
Southern Railway train, and the
train was late, though posted upon
the bulletin board as on time. The
Southern's ticket agent and operator
was asked for information but de-
clined to furnish it, his replies to
the travelling mems inquiries being
couched in ungracious language and
delivered in most discourteous
way.
Instead Of going their way and
grumbling all up and down the divi-
sion about the arrogance Of railroad
agents toward long-sufering pub
lie, ETC., these gentlemen promptly
complained in writing to the Rail-
road commission. Each OF them
signed the letter to the commission.
The Railroad commission took the
matter up with the Southern at
once, and the following letter recent
ly received from Division Superinten-
dent H. A. Williams, OF Columbia,
shows that the Southern acted upon
the complaint without delay:
"Mr. 3. L. Caughman, Chairman.
South Carolina Railroad Comnis-
sion, City.
Dear Sir:
II have your letter, together with
complaint Of several travelling men
Of the services performed at Black
Vile by our ticket agent and opera
tor. I had Train Master King 90
to Blackville and personally investi-
gate this matter and apply the prop
er remedy to this agent. The inves-
tigation developed the fact that the
wires on the Charleston division
were in trouble and were not work
ing on the dave in question. But
this could have been explained to
these gentlemen, which would have
been satisfactory, am sure; but on
account of nc effort having been
made on the part Of this man at all
to satisfy these people, am going
to relieve him from the service. It
is, however, a fact that the agent
could not post the board correctly
on account of wire trouble, and in
stead of making an effort to satisfy
these people, he posted the train on
time. Yours truly,
ssH. A. Williams, Supt."
This is not by any means the first
time that Sup erintendent Williams
has disciplined his employees for
failure to treat the Southern's pa
irons with courtesy. It is known
fact that he will gladly entertain and
patiently investigate any reasonable
complaint that may come from any
patron Of the road, however, humble
the person may be. This is directly
in line with the. Southern's policy TO-
ward South Carolina, as outlined 70

Of extraordinary genius, he never used
his skill 10 acquire wealth. He was gem

was often without funds. but his finan-
eial condition never worried him and bis
mind was always bouyant. He. did not
forget his debts, however, and his first
act after he came into his fathers estate
