while transportation, telegraph and
telephone facilities are badly crippled.
At Evans station, three miles north
of Uniontown, Pa, coludburst sent
waters raging into the mouth of the
Superba No. 2 mine. Fourteen men
were drowned like rats in trap.
While 81 others had miraculous es-
capes from similar death.
A lew IullSS away at LO4uOAI ~h1h0
No. 2, three other men are reported
to have drowned in like fashion.
Up in the Red Stone valley near
Brownsville, Pa, it is rumored that
at least ten miners were caught while
at work, by flood waters entering the
mines and drowned. Verihcation of
this tonight is impossible and it may
be some time before anything definite

Three deaths are believed to have

Horsemen Save Hundreds.
of Dunbar

Brownsville, Pa, July 24.-Horse-
men dashing down the Red Stone val
ley today, often with water up to their
saddle girths, made a journey of nine
miles in time to save the lives of hun
dreds of persons at Smook, a mining
village. Aside from the great quantity
of water due to the cloudburst, it Was
feared a huge reservoir was about to
let go.
The warning caused terror among
the miners and within a few minutes
1000 families were rushing to the hill
sides. Soon the water came pouring
into the village, causing heavy damage.
Tonight the miners and their families
are camped in a pouring rain on the
hillsides. The reservoir held.
An unconfrmed rumor tonight is to
the effect that from six to 10 miners
were drowned before they could reach
safety. When the alarm was spread
over 500 men we're at work in the
mine. According to mine officials all
of them were saved. Although the
reservoir held, the miners refused to
leave their hillside camp. Communi-
cation throughout the Red Stone valley
is interrupted seriously and few details

Clinton, July 24.-Capt. J. Washing
ton Williams, a Confederate veteran,

carried through a full fedged Jones
demonstration, the first such OF the
campaign. 1t was novel, it was exclt-
ing, it was good to behold, in the eyes
of both friend and foe. Governor
Blease had to stop speaking for a
while; he appeared amused. The crowd
looked on in wonder and saw the
launching of a real, genuine goth cen
tury militant suffragette movement.
sBoys, never complain about girls
hollering," said the governor, "be-
cause I've made some of 'em squeal
before
The girls, however, were not to be
laughed out of court, for they came
hack. but the governor assured the
crowd that all the girls could do was
10 holler, be pallbearers and bring
flowers to funerals.
1t is true they can ote vote, in South

this Edgefeld sentiment grows.
A Jones rooter near the stand yell
ed once or twice for his faVorlte,
,whereupon Governor Blease said:
s'Heres an old feller down here about
to have a fit; 1 guess he's had some
blind tiger liquor
ssWell, 1 amt been to Charleston
where your mess is," retorted the man
in question.
Addressing himself to his enemies in
Edgefeld, the governor said: who
ever thought that little Coley Blease
could put so much red pepper on their
backs that they could not sleep at
nights?"
The governor explained that it was
no disrespect to the people OF Johnston
that he declined to speak there last
night, but two speeches day was too
strenuous; that he attended the meet
ing to answer any attacks Judge Jones
might make, but since none was made
ba saw no necessity Of speaking.
"Jones has asked what have done
for the poor people" said the governor.
-.sI want to answer that right now; the
principal thing I have done was to
stand between the people and the Gu
ban-spanish agency in Columbia; elect
Jones your governor and Gonzales will
furnish the brains"
what did you do at Honea Path?'
asked some one, meaning the Belton
incident.
"Any man who says I insulted tha'
lady is a liar" retorted the governor,
and he defed any one to write her and
ask if the governor had insulted he
If she said Eyes" he promised to give
the man who wrote the letter of in
,quiry S25; if, on the other hand, the
man would publish the letter, # she
answered negatively.
The governor closed amidst mighty
shouts and as he left the stand was
crowded almost to suffocation by some
of his demonstrative admirers, who
dogged his heels, yelling and throwing
their hats high in the air.

Backstop Must Have Protector;
Players Take Many Chances

~ ESPERATE base running has so
increased the hazards of the
- eatcher's Job that now, defensI
lively, he must combine the skill Of the
boxer, swordsman and the football
player.
It is not enough that he is a skilled
receiver, that he has a good head and
knows how to steady young pitcher,
nor even that he is a smuggling batter
If he cannot put the tag on base
runners, there is no place for the back
stop in fast company. And to dis
charge this important duty he must
have a quick eye, be nimble on his
feet and know. how TO dodge.
Also he must have all the protection
afforded by the modern shin guards
and baseball armOr.
When Roger Bresnahan first intro
duced shin guards, with the idea OF
protecting himself when figuring in
close plays at the plate, the idea was
ridiculed.
Memories were invoked of the great
catchers Of the past who stood back of
the plate with nothins but fragile
masks, having neither chest protectors
nor shin guards, and bOasting only in
the way of gloves a little affair with a
palm, but no fingers, such as would

not even suffice for an outfieIder today.
Ewing, Kelly, Flint. Snyder, Bush
nell and a host of others stood SaE1ely
back Of the plate and took the speed
of the shorter pitching distance of
those days without complaint, and
broken fingers told at what a price
But it is a question if in those days
there were as many dangerous plays at
the home plate. Fer one thing, there
was more hitting and heavier scoring,
and as a rule one run did not cat as
Eie a figure as it does today.
Nowadays it is d kind of superstition
that the team that gets the first ram
viii win, ana it merely takes an in
vestigation of the figures to prove how
great a number Of contests are decided
by the slender margin of one tally.
In the old days single run dldnt
matter so much, for a team would
figure on going in and making a rally
for a half dozen or more.
But the defence had not been per-
fected to the extent it is nov, pitching
was not as good and scoring was less
difficult
With run meaning what Il Toes in
the baseball game today, it Is slaau
wonder that the players take che most
desperate chances on all the bases,
particularly at the home plate, where
every safe arrival means run
