HIS CAPTURE
NEGRO BRUTE KILLS ESCORT
AN DASSAULTS WOMAN IN
FLORIDA.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Sept. 10
Cicero Thomas, carpenter, aged
As years, was killed and a woman
whom he was accompanying home,
was attacked by a negro at Orte-
go, a suburb of this city yesterday.
A lynching is feared if the black
man is captured.
The couple were accosted by the
negro, who, without a word of
warning, fired point blank at Thorn
as, killing him instantly.
The woman stood terror-stricken
and was next attacked by the big
negro, who choked her into uneon-
seriousness.
The scene of the crime is lone
ly spot and no one heard the shots
of the woman's screams. The wom-
an finally regained consciousness
and sought out some neighbors, who
gave the alarm. A posse was form
ed and the woods in the vicinity
have been secured, without result.

welfare of the miners at heart, will
also make an address,
The purpose of the demonstration
is to show to the miners some of
the accomplishments Of the Bureau
of Mines that will tend toward
reduction in the number of deaths.
So serious did the Bureau of Mines
find the conditions in the coal
mines, it has not yet found oppor-
tunity to pay any particular atten-
tion to the accidents in the metal
mine, and quarries. A favorite
theme with many writer's on the
subject of accidents in mines has
been that the carlessness of the
miners was the greatest factcr ii
the cause of deaths. While the
experts of the Bureau of Mines
concede that carelessness is a factor
in such accidents, they declare that
it is not nearly as important as it i.
claimed to be. They rather be-
lieye, and they say that their in
vestigations have borne this out,
that the United States is. still a
new country in the mining business
and that it has not yet learned
some Dt the fundamental safe
guards that have come to older
countries through bitter experience
The experts cite the fact that be-
fore they began their investiga-
tions, very few coal operators 1f
miners believed that coal dust in
mine could explode without the
presence of gas. The Bureau of
Mines has demonstrated beyond any
possible doubt that bituminous, coal
dust alone is more of menace to
the miner than fire damp Coal
dust has been the cause of big
majority of the mysterious explo-
sions in coal mines within the last
few years and has caused great
loss of life. The bureau on Oeto-
Der &c, and also on October %, will
prove this assertion to the assem-
bled miners. On the first day, at
Bruceton, Pa, twelve miles from
Pittsburg, there will be an actual
explosion of coal dust in the expert
mental mine belonging to the bu-
reau. The experts will have the
conditions that are to be found
in some of the mines of the Unite(
States today, and they will use
black powder, which is strongl.

Eleven thousand widows made by

Thirty thousand children have
