WRECK AT MINE MOUTH.
Runaway Coal Cars Smash Into Tim
bers, Causing Great Damage.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CUMBERLAND, Md. July BY the
breaking Of q coupling pin in trip of
mine cars that were being hauled up an
incline out Of Consolidation Coal Com
pany mine. No. 4. at Eckhart, a disas-
trous wreck occurred. although no person
was very seriously injured. The loaded
cars had just reached the "knuckle, =
where the cable Is jerked off, and the
cars go forward by gravity, when the
coupling pin fon the first car broke. The
entire trip Of cars, with the exception Of
the first, which had passed over the
"knuckles" started backward on an ever
increasing speed down into the mine. and
when going at a terrific clip the cars
jumped the track and struck the mine
tinbers, tearing them down and allow
ing the roof of the mine, coal, slate and
debris, to come down in great quantities.
The cars were entirely buried under the
debris. and a great hole was made in the
mine roof that will take considerable time
TO repair The mine officials We're quick
ly on the scene and repairs were at once
begun. The only person injured was Mr.
Enoch LOgsdon, who was standing along
side the track when the pin broke. The
rope jerked loose with such force that it
pulled around and struck Mr.. Lodsgon a
blow in the stomach, knocking him down
and rendering him unconscious. He was
not seriously injured.

London Non Stop Train.
he Springfield Republican.

From the Springfield Republican.
The nonstop train continues to exer-
else the mind of British engineers. and
now the London county council has given
permission for an actual test of the Ad-
kins Lewis system which 1t is proposed to
introduce in the Strand This system pro-
vides for an endless stream of small car
riages. each seating from five to ten per-
sons, and always in motion. They pass
through the stations in a shallow subway
at a rate of from two TO three miles an
hour, and between stations run at about
twenty-four miles an hour. These varia-
tons are automatically controlled by the
motive power, which is a shaft extending
throughout the route and rotating at a
constant speed. The test now to be made
at Aldwych is partly TO show that 1t Is
easy and safe to step into vehicle NOV
ing at the pace OF slow walk. But for
the intirm or the nervous it is proposed
to have porters with wheeled carriages
that can be moved along the platform till
the traveller has stepped across from the
hand driven vehicle to the train. The
great advantage of the continuous stream
Of carriages. of course. Is that given
trackage can carry a greater crowd:
there are authorities who predict that all
great cities will be driven to it as con-
gestion increases.

DR.. Russell on Work in Hand.
Pastor Russell last evening said in
referring to the work in hand:
Some of the Protestant denominations
are drifting rapidly into infidelity under
the modern designations, higher criticism
and evolution. Gradually the creeds got
the Bibles place under the supposition
that they agreed. NOW having outgrown
these creeds, in rejecting them, many are
rejecting the Bible also. This is mis-
take, The Bible is the most wonderful
book in the world when allowed to inter-
pref itself. 1t furnishes the one rallying
ground for human brotherhood and Chris
tan brotherhood The world otherwise is
facing anarchy. A lost religion will soon
mean a lost God. lost future hope and a
selfish strife for the present life only.
At this juncture Pastor Russell took up
the question Of Mans fall from per-
| fection, saying:
Let us not mourn our errors of the
past unduly, but at once now, get right
with God and His book! Its presentation
Is logical from Genesis to Revelations. 1t
tells of the perfection of our first par
ents. of the test of their loyalty, of their
| failure and its penalty, death-not eternal
| torture.

Living to a Ripe Old Age.

From the Cincinnati Times-Star.
According to Chicago physician, If we
have any desire to live to a ripe old age
we must all of US forthwith have our
tonsils removed. That, in the opinion Of
this medical authority, is the one prere-
quisite TO longevity. OF course this lat
est scientific decision has no immediate
connection with that other decision.
reached some years ago. which doomed
the appendix. 1t is evidently taken for
granted that the seeker after enduring
health has already displayed sufficient
progressiveness to have sacrificed his ap-
pendix and IS now prepared to make a
further sacrifice in a good cause.
Old-fashioned persons. however while
admitting that the removal of the tonsils
in certain cases may be highly beneficial,
will not be disposed to grant that such
an operation offers the only hope Of liv-
ing to a ripe old age. Old-fashioned per-
sons cannot quite believe that nature,
which makes SO few mistakes, has erred
so deplorably in the case Of tonsils Fur
thermore, old-fashioned persons cannot
help recalling that in the days before the
operation for the removal of the tonsis
vas at all widely pract!ced living to
-ipe OLD age was not SO very unusual.

DANCERS SLIDE INTO CELLAR.
Accident Befalls Members of ar
English Wedding Party.
oecial Cablegram to The Star

Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON, July 13-An exciting expe-
rience befell a wedding party in the
Hckling House, in the working class dis
trict of Nottingham. Saturday night.
Dancing had been kept up vigorously
for some time, when suddenly, at about
10 o'clock. there was an ominous creak-
ing, then a rending sound. the josts gave
way. and the floor subsidized into the cell
lar.
Luckily the beams in one corner Of the
room stood firm, with the result that the
flooring, held together largely by the
linoleum, tilted down at an angle and the
wedding guests slid to the cellar as if
tobogganning.
Naturally there was considerable excite
ment. The women screamed and the
men shouted. The accident greatly alarm
ed the neighbors, who telephoned for as
sistance.
Several men with knowledge OF first
aid were taken to the spot on fire en-
gines, and a number Of ambuiances were
sent at full speed.
1t then was discovered that owing to
the angle at which the floor had de-
scended no one had sustained injuries
more serious than a few bruises and SUI
perficial cuts. There were no cases so
grave as to require hospital treatment.

Was Twice Convicted.

Acting on these clues, the authorities
discovered that Poyer had been twice
convicted of carrying dangerous weap-
ons, and that he had been in close in
tercourse with Bonnet, GARNER and
other members of the notorious band
Poyer had been living at hotel In
the Avenue Secratan, the address o!
which was among those he gave, and
when the police called there they dis
covered something more than they had
expected.
The landlady told them of the arrival
there in March of a young man, who
called himself Geniellet and described
himself as singer. His only luggage
was a hamper about which he was very
particular. asking the servant who tidied
his room to be careful, as it contained
china. So much did he harp on this sub
ject that he was nicknamed ''LHomme
au Panier.'' His persistent reserve led
the landlady to wonder who he might
be, and when there was so much talk
about the terrible gang she asked the
servant il she did not think that, the mys-
FERROUS tenant bore a striking resem-
blance to GARNER.
When the hamper was opened by in
spectors the worthy woman nearly
swooned away. 1t contained articles
much less innocent than china Six re-
volvers, which had all been obtained by
the burglary of the gunsmith's establish

Knows What to Expect.

From the New York Times.
"A phase OF the servant-girl question
that was new to me was sprung yes
terday when l called at the employment
agency to hire a cook said the ner-
vous woman. "A prepossessing looking
girl was brought forward for an inter-
view. Her first question was: Have you
any pictures of your Kitchen?
Il said l had none.
1t is always best to bring them said
that girl loftily. 1t saves time and trou-
BILE, for. with them to look at cook
can see at a glance the position of the
sink, the tubs. the range and the cup
boards, and can tell if the place will suit
her.
while I was adjusting my mind to
that phase of the proposition another
woman with a wider experience than
mine piped up that she had brought
views of her kitchen. From that minute
/ was out of it so far as that particular
cook was concerned. The picture met
with her approval, and the other woman
hired her on the spot. l asked the man
ager If it was the custom of housekeepers
to produce views of their home when
hiring servants.
1.-THE custom is not yet universal he
said, but 1t is growing. In one sense the
girl is right; it does save time and
trouble

Value of Eastern Land.
From the Boston Ira nscript.

From the Boston Transcript.
The boomers of the northwest are
fond of circulating stories about the
prices that fruit land brings in that Sec
ton, sometimes as high as three or four
thousand dollars an acre, which are jus
tilted by the returns. But evidently we
do not need to so so far for at least
a partial parallel. Frank Sanborn, in his
weekly letter, tells of an 1rish-American
farmer whom he has discovered in his
rambles about Concord. the extent OF
whose holdings is thirteen acres. The
most of this is given up to asparagus. but
just now ii is the strawberry portion
that has been attracting attention. For
a week past. or more. he has been send
ing a hundred. crates a day or thirty-tWo
hundred boxes to the Boston market,
none of which yields him less than 10
cents a box and the season Is not hall
over 1t is estimated that he will get
a net return of $1,000 from five acres. ana
their value as revenue producers can cas-
ily be calculated. The man who knows
how can do large things with thirteen
acres of good ground or even less.

Poetic Post Vacant.
NJ Leon Dierz, by his death a short
time ago. left vacant the post of Prince
of Poets Ever since there has been
war in the poetic camp as to who shall
be elected to the unofficial laurels, which
Verlaine and Mallarme have graced, and
by whom the powers of election are vest
ed in no single body. Every one has
right to his say, and says it. One even

Dancing Teachers Meet.
Paris dancing masters have just held
their annual congress. notice of whose
proceedings l have received. This is the
solemn occasion on which are decided the
destinies of our bathrooms for the coming
winter The congress was international,
and a number of dances from the new
world were presented. The "Mattchiche
Argentine" of an Argentine professor was
success, and has been added to the
repertory of the dancing masters of Par S.
The assurance that it in no respect re-
sembles the Spanish .'mattchiche'' is con-
solatory. Hopeful, too, is the fact that
the animal dances presented by several
American professors aroused no en-
thusiasm.
More to the taste of the masters were
dances showing the movements of ami
mails, but based on ancient Greek tradi-
ton, examples of which were given by
Prof. Lefort. The dance of the crane, in
which number of dancers initiate in con-
certed movements the flight of a flock of
cranes, seems to have graceful POSSIBLE
tiles. The lioness Is tersely described as
a tragic dance, between the professor s
dances and those of the turkey trot
variety. NJ. Lefort disclaims all connec-

and insists the necessity of a pro- |
