DEAD IN NINE WRECK
MAY REACH 100 MEN
Terrific Explosion Occurred at Finley
vile, Pa, Yesterday Afternoon
Work of Rescue Is Difficult.

Pittsburg, Pa, April "a Between Is
and 100 miners are believed to have lost
their lives yesterday afternoon as a re-
suit OF gas explosion IN the Cincinnati
mine OF the Monongahela River Conso-
dated Coal and Coke company at Fin
leyvlle. twenty-seyen miles from this
city. From seventysiX to seventy eight
men made their escape. Some OF them,
| however. were badly burned. The bodies
! of several victims have been recovered.
! The mine is ailame. Rescue work is
being carried on with difficulty owing to
the fire and deadly fumes. The coal
company maintains a rescue corps pat
/ termed after the mine force of the United
States government. Aid from the feder-
al mining experts, it is said, was de-
elinea by the coal company
But few of the miners who reached the
surface were in a condition to talk.
From these little could be gained. Suf-
fering from burns or fright, the miners
CURED and that large number of men
were either killed by the explosion or as
phyxiated by the after damp
Several hours after the explosion,
seven foreign miners crawed from one
IOf the entrances of the mine. All were
seriously burned They could give no
connected account OF conditions in the
mine or their individual experiences
They all said that the mime was full Of
dead people"
Business in Finleygille was suspended,
The greatest excitement prevailed and
practically the entire community rushed
to the Inflated mine. Relatives and
friends of the men beneath the surface
were frantic. Many of them had to be
restrained. After time a guard was
placed, completely surrounding the en-
frances OF the mine and all persons ex-
cept rescuers and mine officials were
held at distance.
A gas explosion is thought to have |
caused the disaster, although this fact |
has not been exactly determined. Fire |
damp, it is said, may have been respon-
sible.

What Do We Get For Our Taxes--2

than Lambertville City has nothing
but some VIGOROUSLY bad roads to
show for its money. The people are as
up-to-date as the people of Lambert
vile, but they don't get anything in
particular for their taxes, aside
from schools.
The average tax rate in the county
has increased from S1.67 to a frac-
ton over S1.S5, in one year, while
the rate in Lambertville has dropped
three cents. Delaware Township
and West Amwell Township have
each reduced their rate this year,
while StocktonBorough has increased
it's rale. Neither Delaware nor
West Amwell have anything in
particular to show for their taxes.
Kingwood and Lebanon Townships
with rates of S1.97 and S19S re-
spectively, have about as little to
show for their moneys as can be
imagined. Anyone who has ever
climbed over the sod-flled roads of
Kingwood Township or the just-as-
bad roads in Lebanon, will not
wonder at the size of the tax rate,
but they will wonder nightly at
the good nature of the people who
permit such things to go on year
after year.
After Candidate Osborne, Presi-
dent Wilson and few of the others
let up for a few days on their earn
est efforts to reduce the cost of
living by taking it off one article
and adding it to another, the
Lambertville Record will run a
series of stories showing how the
tax rate can be reduced some in this
section of the country. Perhaps
the effect will be much like pouring
water on the back of a duck, but
we are quite certain that some of
the taxpayers will awaken long
enough to call us several kinds of
liars anyway-and that will have
accomplished something.

Notice to Subscribers.

Beginning with October 1st the
Lambertville Record will be supplied
entirely on a cash in advance basis.
At the price, 81 per year, we can
not afford to do otherwise. Be-
fore subscriptions expire each year
the subscriber will be notified, by
letter or by visit, and if he or she
does not wish to continue the paper
there will be no bill running up for
copies not desired. This is in ac-
cordance with the practice Of all
properly conducted newspapers, and
gives the best satisfaction to the
subscribers.
A number of bills have been
mailed to subscribers the past week
with a view to getting them all on
the advance list prior to October 1st.
Those who do not wish to continue
will kindly notify us and there will
be no further papers sent. If there
is any reason why the bill, as sent,
should not be paid, write us the
reason and it will be given prompt
attention. There may be errors
from previous bills that we are not
aware of, and in such cases we will
be glad to correct our books to con-
form with the subscribers account.
Those accounts which appear to
be in arrears, and for which we re-
ceive no explanation other than a
refusal of the paper at the post
office, will be placed in the hands of
our attorney on October LIST. We
only ask the courtesy of an ex-
PLANTATION to set Alright anything
that is not right, and hardly expect
that anyone will refuse to meet us
on such fair basis.
Hereafter there will be no
question as to the amount of the
bill, as it will always be for one
year only, and in advance, so that
there can be no mistake.

But that is all there is to It," he
easily proceeded. II knew Miss Chal-

much and how little l had to do with
her death. The other woman did not

SAVIOR of persecution, would it not?'
The inspector, surprised by this un-
expected attack, regarded the speak
er with an interest rather augmented
than diminished by his boldness., The
smile with which he had uttered these
concluding words yet fingered on his
lips, lighting up features of mold too
suggestive of command to be associ-
ated readily with guilt. That the i'm
preston thus produced was favor
able, was evident from the tone of the
inspectors reply:
1--WE have said nothing about prose-
cution, MIR. Brotherson. We hope to
avoid any such extreme measures,
and that we may the more readily do
so, we have given you this opportun-
ity to make such explanations as the

quiet answer:

But why make use of one name as

ferent one as the honest Workman"
'Ah, there you touch upon my real

Time to CHANGE the Subject.

They were telling hard-luck stories.
A sad-looking, middle-aged man, who
had listened to the others while each
tried in his turn to prove that he was
the unluckiest human being extant,
finally said:
you fellows have had some bad
luck, admit, but claim that I'm ac-
tually the unluckiest man in the
world. When / was young fellow
l lived in city that had population
of about 100000. There was in that
town a certain girl who was destined
to become a regular shrew-a vixen
with Ratchet face, a sharp tongue,
and temper that would make it i'm
possible for a saint to live with her.
Out of all the thousands of young
fellows who might have married her,
which one do you suppose did,"
When the silence had begun to be
oppressive, one of the other victims
of hard luck said:
II propose that we tender our SYM
pathy to the gentleman and return
now to the question whether Honus
Wagner or Tyrus Cobb is the greatest
ball player who ever lived"

Reason for Reconciliation.

The newly married young woman
rushed into her fathers presence and
threw herself on her knees before
him.
"Oh, papa!" she sobbed. II have
come to you for forgiveness and bless
ing! 1t was wrong and undutiful OF
me, but loved Richard so that just
had to elope with him. But couldn't be

I'VE have no WISH" continued the
inspector, Ito probe too closely into
concerns seemingly quite removed
from the main Issue. You will prob
ably be anxious to explain away a dis
crepancy between your word and
your conduct, which has come to our
attention. You we're known to have
expressed the intention of spending
the afternoon of Mrs. SPOTS death in
New York and were supposed to have
done so, yet you were certainly seen
in the crowd which invaded that rear
building at the first alarm. Are you

tone was one of self-congratulation
which would have shaken Sweetwater
sorely had he been admitted to this
unofficial examination. Il did mean to
go to New York and ! even started on
my walk to the bridge at the hour
mentioned. But I got into a small
crowd on the corner of Fulton street,
in which a poor devil who had robbed

TAKING THEIR OWN MEDICINE
Like Many Other Schemes for Re
Venge, This One Recolled on
Heads of Angry Hunters.

Frank Chance, captain-manager OF
the New York American baseball
team, has a hobby for hunting when
he is not otherwise engaged in shap-
ing the destinies of his baseball squad.
He spends his winters in California.
When Chance makes a hunting trip
he is accompanied by his guests and
a Chinese cook. The guests like a
little dram now and then, and the
cooks specially is pastry.
These facts established, let 1t be
narrated that the last time they went
hunting the boys took large jug OF
good whisky with them. They had
been out three days before anyone
thought to take a swig of the nectar.
And then-lo and behold two-thirds
Of the red ambrosia had disappeared.
Investigation proved that none OF the
boys had been beating the others to
It. so suspicion fell upon the Chinese
cook. Not one of the bunch was a
regular whisky drinker, so there
seemed to be nothing else to it but
that the Chinese had been visiting the
jug himself.
Chance decided definitely that this
was the status Of the case, so he gath
cred lot of green persimmons, boiled
them up into a puckering juice, and
filled the jug with them. 1t was such
a concoction as no mouth could stand
without an emphatic protest.
THAT will fix him." said Chance,
and he awaited developments.
Next day an inspection of the jug
showed that a considerable portion
had disappeared. Chance immediate
ly called in the Chinese cook. With
a smile that was childlike and bland.
An Sin protested his innocence. He
liked tea. but he wouldn't drink booze
not he!
well, where did that stuff in the
jug go to-" asked Chance.
