Prisoner in Sewer.

Tenants in a row of houses in Wash
lngton street, Hoboken, complained to
Jacob Van Twisk, the janitor, that
they were being much annoyed by
sewer gas Van Twisk set out to ex-
anime the connections with the trunk
line in the street.
Carrying a lantern, the janitor went
down the manhole at the corner of
Thirteenth street. AS he started he
asked a bystander to place a headless
barrel over the opening. He made his
examination, but when he tried to get
out he found that instead of the bar
rel the heavy iron cover of the man
hole had been put in place.
For fifteen minutes Van Twisk tried
to lift the cover, but the ladder on
which he was perched was fastened to
the wall and he could not get enough
leverage for his shoulders. Then he
tried to attract attention by tapping
with his knife and by calling for help.
No one passed or no one heard him,
and Van Twisk rem EN- bered that the
cover of the manhole at Twelfth street
did not fit so snugly.
The janitor crawled for 900 feet
through slime and mud to the other
manhole. His recollection was wrong,
for he had no better success at Twelfth
street than he had at Thirteenth, and
h emade his painful way back along
the four-foot tunnel. At Thirteenth
street he renewed his signals for assist
ance.
After he had been in the we'll for
quarters of an hour, and when
he had all but lost consciousness, some
one heard Van Twisk's tapping. He
was got out without delay, and when
the police heard his story they began
an inquiry to satisfy themselves that
some joker had not been responsible
for his plight. Twisk's request to have
the barrel put over the manhole had
been misunderstood. - New York

BIG CoAL VALUATIONS.

contain workable coal beds aggregated

tracts, have been appraised by the
survey at a total valuation Of Sill, ,992, =

of hard work by physicians at the
Frankford hospital the child is still in
a serious condition.
Early in the morning the child s
mother, who was awakened by a cry
from the infant, discovered that a
sharp tooth which it was cutting had
punctured the tongue. which was
bleeding profusely. Home remedies
were tried in vain, and several hours
later the child was hurried to the hos
pital, where unusual measures had to
be taken by the physicians to check
the flow of blood, it being necessary to
clamp the jaws to accomplish it. The
freedom with which the child bled

the physicians as unusual, is said to be
peculiar to the members of the family

a worse beginning than this thousand

reckoned her daily stint in words

plainly her attitude toward the profess
