THE COAL TRADE.
Active Anthracite Demand Indicates that
Consumers Expect Strikes and
Not Price Reduction.

There has been quite a
squirt in the anthracite coal trade
this week in continuation of the
greater activity which began the
previous week. The chief de.
mand is fol the steam sizes, but
there has been more buying of
prepared coal. The demand
caused change in the orders is
sued to the collieries for the
week. 1t was at first proposed
to work three days at the Read
ing mines, but it W, J afterward
decided to stop only one, st.
Patrick's Day, which is always
a semi-holiday in the mining
regions.
The demand for coal indicates
that some consumers expect a
strike and consequently no re-
ductisn of coal in April.

TwENTY-NIN MEN IN MINE
AT TINE or THE ACCIDENT.

Evanssille, Ind, March 90
Death may have been the fate
of a majority of twenty-nine
miners in the Sunnyside coal
shaft on West Maryland street
at 2 O'Clock Saturday afternoon.
Five men had been rescued up
to 3 o'clock.
Only two we're conscious. David
Brink and George Fares were
the two. Fares said that they
got enough fresh air to grope
their way to the cages and come
up.
Rescuing parties of people at
the top of the shaft went to work
and got three unconscious men
near the bottom of the pit.
Every effort is being made to
get the others out as rapidly as
possible.
Fares and Brink said they
stumbled over the bodies of other
men on their way to the shaft.
They thought the men were dead.
The explosion was caused by
windy shot, due to an overcharge
of powder.
Physicians from the West side
and the North side were on the
scene to give aid.
The mine cleared within an
hour after the explosion.

BALLOON WAS IN AIR LESS THAN
TWO HOURS-STORM BOUND

Los Angeles, COL, March 3D.
After one of the most harrow
experiences in the history of
ballooning. Capt. A. K. Mueller
and his five companions who as
cended in the big Ferris racing
balloon, "America," at Pasadena
last Saturday afternoon, and be-
came lost in the Sierra Madre
mountains, arrived today at
Switzer's camp on the slopes of
Mount Wilson, unframed.
The men passed through a Sc
ries of hardships, the details of
which have not been learned.
Arriving at Switzer's camp at 3.
O'Clock this afternoon, they were
provided with horses, and be-
gan the descent from there to-.
Pasadena over a torturous and
slippery trail.
Telephone the News.
A single telephone wire across,
the mountains brought the first
word of their arrival at the camp,
to the relatives in Pasadena.
The telephone wire to the camp.
shortly afterward failed, and
but little information regarding.
their hazardous trip had been.
obtained easily tonight.
The balloon was in the air less
than two hours. 1t was carried
by the strong North wind over
the mile high summit Of Mount
Lowe. and swept on across the
peaks and canyons
to the lofty summit of Mount
Gabriel.
Here ballast was thrown out
and the balloon scared away to-
ward Strawberry Peak, on the
third range.
Brought it to Earth.
Crossing this at low altitude
the balloon encountered a strong
current of air, which brought it
rapidly TO earth. A successful
landing was effected on the North
side of Strawberry Peak, in what
is known as Little Tejugga Can
yon, about 5 O'Clock Saturday af-
ternoon, less than two hours af-
ter the ascension at Pasadenag-.
The distance covered was less
than fifteen miles in a direct
line, but by any possible foot
route many times that distance.
The aerOnauts wandered .aim-
lessly over the mountains untils
30 Sunday afternoon, when
they unexpectedly came to COL
by's ranch, an isolated habitation
far from any road and without
communication with the outside
world.
In the meantime a terrific bliz>
ard had swept over the noun
tains, and for hours the men suf.
fered from the cold.
The meager supply of provis--
ions which they carried was suf-
icient to guarantee against hun
ger until their arrival at the
ranch.

CAPTURE The

Two Men and Woman Arrested

Money.
Willie WhitIa's Abductors Caught
Day After Boy Is Returned.

Cleveland, o., March %. Two
men and a woman were arrested
here tonight by Capt. Shattuck
and Detective Ward on Ontario
street, having in their possession
so, S45, so in currency.
To the police they explained
that they were on their way to
the Baltimore and Ohio railway
depot, but they declined to re-
veal their identity or their des-
tination.
Part of the money was found
in a satchel which was carried
by one of the men, and upon
being searched at the police sta
tion more of the money in cur
rency form was found secreted
in the skirt of the woman.
At the police station the wom-
an appeared to be the spokesman
of the party, and said:
"You have got the goods on
us, and there will be hell in
Sharon tomorrow"
In Great Haste.
Capt. Shattuck and Detective
Ward were attracted by the
movement of the trio, and ap,
preached them with velwf to
learn their identity.
"Whither are you bound in
such haste?" inquired the Police
Captain.
The man carrying the satchel
dropped his precious burden aud
started to run. The remaining
man and the woman stood their
ground. Shattuck took up the
chase for the fleeing man and
captured him only after two
shots had been fred, while Ward
stood guard over the others.
Chief of Police Kohler and In
spector Rowe are confident that
the possession of so large an
amount of money warrants the
suspicion that the trio may have
been implicated In the kidnap-
ing.
Great Reception is Given Willie Whitla.

Arbitrated.

Conversation among travellers Is fire.
Quently absurdly trivial. After several
days together, rs on shipboard, every
one is idle and talks about the most
unimportant matters with the deepest
interest. X ii. Milligan In a book en-
titled THE Jungle Folk OF Africa" re-
counts with what complacency the
conclusion was reached that the thir.
teen colonies should never have re-
beiled and that the blame was all on
the side of England.
One man, moreover, disclosed the
fact that he always wore safety pins
instead Of garters and descanted upon
that he made ut least one convert.
One night we put IN practice the
principle Of arbitration, Of which we
were all adheYents. An argument had
arisen among us as to which was the
more simple Of the two currency sys.
TENS, dollars and cents or pounds. shil-
lings and pence. At last. the captain
arriving. we decided 10 refer the mat
ter to him and to surrender our judg-
ment to his arbitration.
The captain, an Englishman OF the
very stolid sort. after n period Of re-
Election replied very slowly and with
all the gravity Of a judge:
Pounds. shillings and pence Is the
simpler system. for don't you know
that when you are told the price Of a
thing in dollars and cents you always
have to convert 1t into pounds. shil-
lngs and pence"
There was a little objection to this
theory. but in general 1t was perfectly
satisfactory so long as the voyage
iasted.

HOW TO CURE RHEUMATISM.
Il Il An Internal Disease And Requires
An Internal Remedy.

The cause of Rheumatism and kindred
diseases is an excess of uric acid in the
blood. To cure this terrible disease this
acid must be expelled and the system SO
regulated that no more acid will be FORM
ed in excessive quantities Rheumatism
is an internal disease and requires an
internal remedy. Rubbing with Oils and
Liniments will not cure, affords only
temporary relief at best. causes you to
delay the proper treatment, and allows
the malady to get firmer hold on you.
Liniments may ease the pain, but they
will no more cure Rheumatism than
paint will change the fibre of rotten
wood
Science has at last discovered per-
feet and complete cure, which is called
"Rheumacide. Tested in hundreds of
cases, it has effected the most marvellous
cures; we believe it will cure you. Rheu-
macide "gets at the joints from the in
side." sweeps the poisons out Of the
system, tones up the stomach, regulates
the liver and kidneys and makes you
well all over. Rheumacide STRIKES the
root of the disease and removes its
cause" This splendid remedy is sold

ODD GIFT FOR CANNON.
Speaker Receives Stick of Lieeries
from New York.


Washington June 16.-One Of the
most curious gifts that has ever been
received by Speaker Cannon came. TO
him yesterday from A. w. Ten Eyck
of New York. 1t was a small stick OF
licorice, inclosed In a common en-
veloPe, without a word of comment.
The package lay in the New York post
office for ten days because OF insuffi-
Gent postage. II was finally forward
ed by Postmaster Moran-and opened
by L. Whyte Busbey, the speakers
secretary
The round tube OF licorice was ex-
smined gingerly before 1t was shown
to the speaker, in order that it's iden-
tity might be fully determined.
1T might be a bomb" was the sug-
gestion made by visitor in the speak
er's room.
NO" answered Mr.. Cannon. TT is
probably sent me by some friend to
break me Of the tobacco habit"
If the speaker has not discovered
the true solution of the question 1t will
probably remain a mystery. Mr. Bus
hey says that the licorice is one OF
the strangest bits of correspondence
he has ever been called on to answer
Some time ago a match and a piece
of bologna sausage were sent to the
speaker, but the name of the sender
was not given.
