Walks Tightrope
Above Street Crowd

Thousands stood with upturned faces
at Third and Market streets last night
watching a man toy with fate at the
height of an History building above
them. He was Baldwin. the tight rope
walker who kneeled, sat upon the rope
lay down upon it and arose, when the
of a fraction of an inch
would have left him but blot on the
pavement
Baldwin stepped off the top of the
Monadnock building at precisely IL
o'clock From the light of the great
incandescent bell below he could be
seen distinctly in his green tights and
white soled feet in silhouette against
the dark sky, though of pigmy size TO
the mob below.
At each end of his long balancing
pole. which he was some minutes in
adjusting, were torches. Then the
white soles began to pick their way
across the space below. The step was
quick, but cautious. Midway he stopped
TO do his tricks. Horn blowing and
merry making stopped below. AS he
arose, apprehension passed away in
cheers. Then the white soles stepped
back to the roof of the Monadnock
building and Baldwin, the tight rope
walker. pulled his fiery balance pole
after him and disappeared.

crowns a small hillock just off the
great London to Holyhead road, mid
way between Dunchurch-the meet
ing place of the Gunpowder C~onspira-
tors-and Coventry, a crowd, repre-
sentative of several Midland shires,
assembled to participate in that
quaint and picturesque ceremony
known as the collection of wroth sill
yer. 1t is a custom which had its
origin anterior to the Norman in
vasion, and through ten centuries it
has been religiously observed by the
people of Warwickshire. "Wroth sill
YER" is a sort of old tax for the re-
pair of the highways, and the Duke
of Buccleuch, as lord of the manor
has power to levy the same upon
twenty-seven parishes, the individual
amounts varying from rs. to Id. In
the old days the representatives of de-
faulting parishes were expected to
pay EOS. for every Id, or a white
bull with red ears and red nose" AS
proved by yesterdays proceedings,

its interest for the population of the

MINE EXPLOSION KILLS los
As Many More Entombed and
Manaced by Fire.

Huntington, W. Va.-Late at night
two score of rescuers, headed by
Chief Mine Inspector John LANG and
half a dozen deputy inspectors, bat
tied with the flames to reach the in
ner part of the Lick Branch colliery
of the Pocohontas Consolidated Coal
Company, where in the morning los
men met death and a hundred more
were entombed.
The explosion Is believed to have
been caused by the use of open lamps
by new miners who were employed to
take the places of the fifty-one men
who were killed in an explosion in
the same opening on December %.
Over 200 men, working on the day
shift, had entered the mine, and 100
of them were in a separate working.
1t is not believed that they were hurt
by the explosion, but the impact
caused hundreds of tons of slate and
coal to fall, barring them from the
exits.
Forty-eight bodies have been
brought out. Most of them are Amer
leans, but in the confusion only three
have been recognized. They are John
Paul, mine boss; Wilbur Hurley and
Elias Scott. All the bodies are badly
burned.
Inspector Laing says that there are
hopes of saving most of the men in
the workings opposite the i'll fated
shaft where over $50 have been killed
in two weeks.
The Grape had been barely taken
from the doors of fifty cottages at
S~wftchback, the village where the
mine is located, than the second and
more terrible disaster came. Most of
the men were married and had just
removed their families to Switchback,
