the escape shaft is still open. and air can reach those in the mine. I am hopeful that very few will be found dead when the rescuers reach them.
 'The fire began about 2:3O o'clock in the third vein. I am informed that about 400 men were at work and of that number more than 200 escaped uninjured. About 10 men were taken out dead. Among these, am told, were three of the local managers of the mine, who had assisted in forming a rescue party.
 Tonight I am told the fire Is much less strong than 1t was early this evening, and the mine probably will be opened to ad- nit searchers shortly after midnight. Every preparation has been made to care for tboes in the mine. Physicians and nurses are in readiness, and 1t is hoped that the list of dead and injured will be small.
 '"The mine has been in operation about five years I have never heard of any previous accident there. The output of the mine is largely used by the St. Paul railroad. but the road does not own the mine. I am not certain as to it's owner ship"

sensation in Paris. They were found strangled in the artists residence in the Rue de Vaugirard, which adjoins the studio of Seymour Thomas, the American portrait painter. Mime. Steinhell was found gagged and bound to a bed.
 Mme. Steinheil, when she recovered suf- ficiently from the shock, gave a descrip- ton of the alleged assassins, who, accord ing to her story, numbered four. including a red-haired woman. Later Mime. Stein- hell told many conflicting stories, and was herself arrested and charged with the crime. The motive was found In her hatred for her stepmother, and desire to rid herself of her husband, in order that she might marry Maurice Bordeal, a wealthy merchant, who had become infat- uated with her.
 Not since 1902, when Frederick and The rese Humbert were convicted of a $12000,- GOO swindle, has a trial in Paris excited the intense interest shown in this case. The hearings began on November 8 and dramatic scenes have characterized them throughout.

REAL ESTATE MAN
 IS HELD IN JAIL

Pittsburg, November 13.-(Special.)-A. B. Mccarthy, agent for the Metropoli- tan and Suburban Real Estate company of Brooklyn, as his cards read, is in jail in default of S12O0 bail, awaiting hear ing Monday morning at o'clock The land he is exploiting is near West Hamp- ton park on Long Island. N. Y. The circulars of the company describe as rich, velvety land, dotted with a rich growth of pine, frs and undergrowth, villas and other attractive perspectives. An investi- gator sent to New York by the police department describes 1t as nothing but a sand dune on which a growth similar to cactus was the only thing and worth probably a dollar an acre.
 Papers found on Mccarthy indicate that the company has been doing a thriving busineess in western Pennsylvania.
 It is understood the postoffice depart ment has issued a fraud order against the concern, which has been advertising extensively.

Estimates Will Be Cut.

Washington, November 13.-(Sp peciaL) While General Marshall recommends in his annual report that $36,000,000 be carried by the next rivers and harbors bill, it is probable that the Secretary of the Treasury in his annual esti- mates to Congress the first day of thu session will cut this down some $2C,- 100000. The agitation for a $500,00O,0 900 bond issue and the meetings of water ways conventions all over the country will likely result in rather liberal rivers and harbors bill framed on the usual lines by the House and Sena te comnitteeS
