Daylight quivered over them and
faded into single, enormous
star, far in the zenith. The wet
rock wall cleaned and glistened,
and the elevator halted at the
foot. The men sprang out and
made for the little train of empty
cars, which, operated by gravity,
stood waiting for their load of
coal that had never arrived. A
moment later the train was roll
ing down the central gallery.

ceased, and the men disappeared
IN the gloom, shouting to one an

They knew the scene of the ac-
cident-but he was bent upon a
single quest. He ran lightly over
the masses of fallen slate and
shale which choked the entrance
to Sturgis' new heading, and
then, crouching, made his way
cautiously under the overhang-
ing, untimbered rocks. Far be-
hind him tiny electric lights
twinkled, a cluster of fairy lamps,
but their light did not penetrate
into these subterranean recesses.

now at a snaiTs pace, with arms
outstretched, collided with boul-

His demands elected no in

Sturgis, though it was known
that he was in the mine. AS a
matter of fact, he was in his new

a new gallery that he was having

hill. The accident had occurred
half way between this and the
central gallery. No one could

the lives of the unconscious men
to hunt for a man whose where

BURIED ALIVE BUT LIVES.
Miner Entombed Since Friday Sends

AS darkness fell Tuesday at the
Continental colliery, of the Lehigh
Coal Co., the voice Of Thomas Tosh-
esky who has been entombed in the
mammoth vein since last Friday
morning, was heard through tube
fifty feet long, which had been in
serted in a hole bored in a wall OF
coal from an adjoining breast. He

LIVE STOCK PLANS.
Galloway Explains Scheme to H"lp
South Carolina.

Con gresham A. F. Lever is in re-
ceipt Of letter from Assistant Sec
retary Galloway outlining the plan
for encouraging live stock production
in South Carolina. The plan contem-
plates the selection of about fifteen
counties, where the greatest interest
is being manifested in live stock, and
the selection Of two good live stock
men with six to eight counties each
to handle the work in cooperation
with Clemson college and the pres
ent farm demonstration work in the
State. These men will organize live
stock associations in the various
counties and then select sufficient
number Of live stock demonstrators
20 be visited by State experts when
ever practicable. Just as soon as the
two experts can be procured work
will begin in earnest.
Mr.. Lever expresses himself as be-
ing highly gratifed with the begin
ming Of the undertaking and feels
satisfied that the plan agreed upon IS
the best arrangement possible to be
had under the circumstances An
nouncement was made at Washington
Thursday that some one from the de-
partment of agriculture will be de-
tailed to deliver an address in con-
nection with the exhibit Of the South
Carolina poultry association at the
State fair. Mr.. Lever took this mat
ter up with the department, at the
request Of EIr. Thompson, president
OF the poultry association.

JAPAN TO FIGHT RUSSIA.
It Seems That Mongolia Will be Their
Next Battle Ground.

A special London dispatch says:
Japan is preparing 10 make China a
battle ground. Fer rivalry with
Russia was not settled by the late
war. No Russo-Japanese agreement
whatever exists covering Mongolia.
The japanese policy has been deyot-
ed to preserving the status quo IN
Manchuria, thus leaving her free to
take any necessary conterValllng
steps. The Japanese policy in China,
summed up. means the planting OF
earrisons without territorial leases,
thereby guaranteeing the integrity OF
China by forestalling others.
"At Hankow the garrison Of 1000
men will be retained. Another prob
ably will be planted at the great Ia
yeh iron mines nearby. Special Jap
anese concessions under police con-
troll will be demanded at Nanking'
This policy will be repealed else
where. In case of trouble, the rail-
ways in which it was hoped that Brit
ish capital will be interested, also will
be demanded. The Japanese naval
interests in Chinese waters will be
increased. There will be no danger
to British interests if Great Britain
DISPLAYS her usual fieXibility.
"Peking is no longer the Capital
in the old sense. The loss of Mon
golia and the absence Of the usual in
tercourse have rendered it impotent
and have transferred the power to
the South. Japan, with practically
the whole Chinese revolutionary par
ty under lock and key in Toxic, holds
out her hand to England, knowing
that the alliance is more important

FIND COFFIN IN RUNS.
Wreckers Find Skeleton Of Child In
Old Illinois House.

The mansion at Clinton, ILL.,, erect
ed forty years ago by Col. Thomas
Shell, yielded another sensation
Thursday when it was learned that
,s1e skeleton Of a child in homemade
coffin had been found skilfully con-
cealed within a wall. Wreckers
tearing down the residence made the
discovery, which adds another chap
ter to the stormy history OF Col.
Smell, who died about seven years
ago, and for whose fortune a great
fight was made in the courts OF 1lli-
nois. The body of the child had been
buried in a starch box, which easily
opened, exposing the bones when the
housewreckers found it. The work
men threw the box with its contents
into the yard and it remained there
two days before it was turned over to
the police. a hurried inquest was
held, an open verdict was returned
and the town supervisor took charge
of the body, burying it in the public
cemetery.

that unless the rain ceased within a

REVENUE OF NEW TARIFF
ESTIMATES ARE MADE FOR THE
NEXT TWO YEARS
Senator Simmons Shows Where Mon
ey Will Come From and Where 1t
Will Probably Go.

Senator Simmons, chairman OF the
Senate finance committee, Monday
night gave out the first complete esti-
mates on federal revenues and e1pen-
ditures under the new tariff bill, as
computed by experts Of the treasury
department, who have been work
with the joint tariff conference COM
mittee.
For the year ending July /, 1914:
Receipts s1,o2s,ooo,Ooo; e1Dendi-
lures s1,013,O0O,00o; surplus s16,-
100000.
For the year ending July 1, 1918:
Receipts s1,026,O00,o00; e1pendi-
lures $1,OOS,OO0,o0O; surplus $751;
100000.
The estimated receipts under the
customs tariff, the income tax and
the corporation tax, embraced in the
new tariff, are given az follows:
For 1914: Custom revenues, $270,-
100000; income tax (ten months),
s66,O0O,o0o; corporation tax $685.
100000.
For 1915: Custom revenues, s24S,-
O00,0OO; income tax, sS3,000,000;
corporation tax, s39;000,OO0.
"The customs revenues will be
larger for the current fiscal year
1914" said Senator Simmons, "be-
cause the rates Of the Payne-Aldrich
law have been in force for the first
quarter and will continue in force
on wool and woolen goods until jan
uary l, and on sugar until March l..
when the next fiscal year begins,
July 1, 1914, all the rates OF the new
law will be in operation and the new
law will be in operation and the tariff
duties collected will be smoller.
"The income tax, which is collect
ed for the calendar year, can be col
lected for only ten months OF the
present years as the law specifies that
collection shall not go back Of March
1, 1913. The estimated decrease in
the total expenditures OF the govern
ment for 1915-s5,000,000-is bas-
ed on the fact that smaller e1pedi-
lures are expected for the army and
navy Establishments" The balance
of the total income of the government
as given in the treasury estimates Is
made up OF postal receipts, internal
revenue receipts, the profits from
public land sales and other sources
Of federal income.
