FATAL F1BE DAMP. Three Successive Explosions in a Pennsylvania Coal Mine. Two Miners Killed Outright and Twelve More Injured. A series of explosions took place shortly after noon a few days since, in the Uniondale mine, at Dunbar, Penn., by which two men were killed and twelve others received injuries which will probably prove fatal in at least three cases. The cause of the ex. plosion was fire damp. There were twenty-three men in the pit, nine of whom escaped uninjured. The first explosion occurred at 12:30 in the after noon. It was a terrific shock, and was followed by two others in quick succession. The first explosion caused the death of the two men and injured three. The others ran toward the mouth of the pit, but before thev reached it the other explosions occurred. There was an upheaval of earth, coal dust, and other debris. The lights were blown out, the dust blinded the men, and the passageways were blocked up and cut off all escape. The pit was on fire and a horrible death awaited the imprisoned ' * ?? - * i 1 miners, rone 01 inem, wno nau ut3t?u ?> urging in another entry, managed to make their way out before the mouth of the pit was choked up. The force of the shock caused by the explosion can be i;nagined,as it caused the men in Morrell, Calvin and Wheeler, the adjoining mines, to drop their tools and rush panic-stricken to the top, imagining that the pits were being lifted heavenward. The ground rolled and quaked so that many men fell down and three or four in the Morrell mine, which connects with the Uniondale, were violently thrown against the walls and seriously injured. Everybody rushed toward the Uniondale mine. Columbus Shay, of the Mahoning works, and James Henderson, of the Calvin mine, headed a rescuing party, and went to work with picks and shovels to force an enterance to their ill-fated comTMninns. In a few minutes an ODenine was made, and several persons rushed forward to enter the mine, but were repelled by a volume of flame. It took several minutes for the smoke and fire to clear away, and the rescuers were compelled to wait. The moans of the injured were pitiable indeed. They were lying in every direction buried under mas^s of debris. Several of them were horribly burned. Their sufferings vrere terrible. Twelve of them were found seriously injured and two others were dead, mangled almost into an unrecognizable mass. The men killed outright were: John Williams, trackman, aged forty-five years, married; he leaves a wife and four children. Joseph Cope, miner, aged fifty years; he leaves a widow and nine children. The three injured fatally were Joseph Cope, Jr., aged fifteen: Cal Martin, aged nineteen, and "William Starling (colored). Several of the other injured men will be maimed for life. A NEW JEKSEY LYNCHING. A Colored Assailant of a "White Woman Hanged* An Eaton town (N. J.) dispatch gives the following particulars of the lynching of an old colored man after he had been arrested for assaulting a young white woman: This little town, near the Monmouth Park race-course, was last night the scene of a tragedy unparalleled in the annals of New Jersey. About midnight Samuel Johnson.alias "Mingo Jack," a notorious colored desperado, was taken from the jail by a band of masked men and hung from the door of the prison. He was arrested last night charged with having committed a dastardly assault upon a young white woman named Angelina Herbert. She is the daughter of Farmer Henry Herbert, who lives near Mapp's Mill, about three miles from this place. She is a tall, slender and decidedly pretty blonde, and her sterling qualities of heart and winning ways have made her many friends in the neighborhood in which she figured as a belle. Snortly after 6 o'clock last evening Miss Herbert left her home to call at the house of Farmer Brown, who lives about an eighth of a mile away through the roods. When her journey was half over the girl heard footsteps close behind, and, turning her head,was felled to the ground by a blow on her head with a club. In a minute a small fiendish-looking ne^ro was bending over her with an uplifted club in his hand. The girl recognizea her assailant as Min^o Jack, the ex-convict. She screamed loudly for assistance, when the negro clutched her fiercely by the throat and choked her into unconsciousness. Then he dragged her prostrate body in the bushes. When the girl recovered consciousness the negro was not in sight. More dead than alive, she managed to drag herself home, where she arrived in a most pitiable condition. Blood was streaming from an ugly gash on the back of her head, while her face and throat bore marks of the recent outrage. The girl tdld of V?r*r? occonlf. or?H woe ?\nf. f/\ )w1 Hr W T) Beach was summoned and pronounced her injuries dangerous. Farmer Herbert summoned his two sons and started in pursuit of the villain. They were joined by a village constable and a posse of men. The negro was captured in his own house, in South Eaton town.' He was locked up in the village jail at 8 o'clock. Meanwhile public ] sentiment had been wrought up to fever heat ' by the outrage,and vague hints of a proposed lynching were rife. Shortly after 12 o'clock a large number of masked men surrounded the little jail. A citizen says he saw about twenty men in the party. At daybreak Mail Carrier Heath was "passing down the street, when he was horrified to see a human form dangling from the prison door. The rope was tied in a noose around the dead negro's neck and passed thence around one of the bars in the window over the door. The glass in the grated window had been broken by a pistol shot aimed at the negro, who had evidently been cowering in his cell. ' The bullet was found imbedded in the wall. The body was cut down. When the coroner arrived examination showed that the negro had not been shot, but had died of strangulation. The lynchers went as auietly as they came and left no j clews behind. Samuel Johnson, or Mingo Jack, as he was better known, was about t>8 years old and leaves a family. He was at one time a successful jockey. Of late he had been notorious for his many crimes. He had served several terms in prison and was a cunning thief. He earned a living, when he was not stealing, by doing odd jobs for town tradesmen. Two years ago the dead man was shot in the leg while attempting to commit a highway robbery. DEATH OF A SENATOR General Miller,' of California, Dies After a Prolonged Illness. United States Senator John F. Miller, of California, died in Washington on the Sth, after a prolonged illness. Mr. Miller was born in Indiana in 1831, his parents being Virginians. He was fitted for college in Chica. go. but did not enter. He began the study of law in 1849 and gmduated at the New York State Law school in 1852. He began practice in South Bend, but soou went to California, where he remained three years, returning to South Bend. In 18M he was a State senator, but resigned to enter the army as colonel of the Twenty-ninth Indiana volunteers, and was soon placed in command of a brigade,serving under Generals Shermau.

Captain Karlowa, of the steamer Bohemia, says in a letter to the New York Ilerald: On the 25th, at 1 a. m., a heavy gale blowing from the northwest and the ship settling down very hard, our forestay broke, and we were obliged, to avoid i.l? 4-V\ V?ir\ f a ofnrv itn. IUC Ul liic SUlfJ} IU DIU^ \.ugine and let her drive toward the sea. The ship, being deeply laden, did not drive as fast as was wanted for the athwart sea, to break herself in the drift water, and we got several breakers over the ship. To avoid this I tried the use of oil, and ordered six small bags, containing each about one and a half pounds of linseed oil. to be hung on the weather side, into the water. ? The effect was astonishing, for we did not get any more water on deck. Having got up a preventer stay, after four hours' wouk, we brought the ship^s head to the sea again (north), engine now going once more. The storm increased in violence aud at 2 p. m., it blew with hurricane like force from north by east, a terrible cross sea from west-northwest, northwest, northeast at the time aad washing constantly over deck from the different sides, ship working tremendously. Doors i of steering house were battered in, cabin skylight demolished, two boats demolished, one officer and one man severely bruised. 1 resolved therefor to give the i oil another trial. Ordered six oil bags to be hung again overboard on the starboard side, two closets 011 the same side were as well provided with oil, allowing the same to escape into the water, then stopped the engine. She was falling off immediately to the west by north, and athwart the sea, often considered as the most danger- 1 ous position a vessel may be in. The effect, like the night before, was even more astonishing now. The tremendous waves coming now mostly broadside on to the ship, looking as if they would i swallow the vessel, broke as if by charm as soon as they reached the oily barrier, sometimes only a few feet from the ship's side, slipped through under the vessel to the other side, and, curiously enough, continued their furious racing to the leeward as if there had not been such an ob stacle like a big vessel in their way at all, the combs of the waves appearing immediately on the lee side again as if only suppressed, not destroyed. The vessel was lying now snug in the trough of the sea; sometimes she was heeling hard over when a large wave slipped underneath her to the other side, but no water, only sometimes a little spray came on deck. The ship was lying in this way from 2 p. >i. to G a. m. next day. The crew were able to do the necessary work on deck, which, without the use of oil, could not have been done without danger to their limbs or even | lives. Altogether we used about 130 pounds of oil in twenty-two hours, or | about six pounds per hour. I A BIG WHEAT FARM. THE GREAT VALLEY OF THE RED RIVER OP THE NORTH. A Farm of 75,000 Acres?How It is Cultivated?Prosperous Towns Growing Un?A Yoke of Elks. O Mr. W. F. Dalrymple, of Dakota, with his brother Oliver, is owner of the largest wheat farm in the world. In response to inquiries made by a reporter for the New York Mail and Express while in that city recently, he gave some interesting particulars of how his farm is managed. The farms consists of 75,000 acres, on 32,000 of which wheat was grown the past season. It is in the valley of the Red river of the North, on the west side of the river, in the northern part of the Territory; and if estimated in oblong form, it would make a strip of land sixteen miles long by five miles broad. "In addition to its being cultivated by mnsf imnrnwfl marhinprv " sflid Mr. Dalrymple, "the farm requires, at certain seasons, between six hundred and eight hundred men to aid in plowing, harvesting, threshing and moving the wheat. We own five hundred horses, which are also used on the farm, and in the busy part of the Season we employ about three hundred more. The yield averages twenty bushels to the acre. It is sown in the spring and taken off in the fall. The kind is that known as No. 1, hard spring. It takes 175 selfbinders to cut and bmd it, and twentyfive steam threshers, running during the "hartr^etincr spason to thresh it. These machines will average 1,200 to 1,500 bushels a day. The seeding begins April 10 and the harvesting three months later. It is sown with the aid of horses and machines. The farm is divided into subdivisions of 2,000 acres each, and each is managed by a superintendent. All the superintendents are responsible to a general manager and all report to him daily. This is done not only by means of horses and buggies, but also by telephone, for a telephone wire connects every part of a division with its headquarters, and each division headquarters is connected by telephone and telegraph with the general manager's office. The latter is connected by telegraph with the main telegraph line9 of the country. Water is carried through galvanized pipes to all the headquarters by means of elevated tanks fed from the river by windmills. There are six railroad stations on the farm, on the Northern Pacific and the Manitoba railroad. The hpadnuartfirs on each division includes a large boarding-house, a dwelling-house for the superintendent, a barn to accommodate seventy-five horses, a large granary and numerous outbuildings. "The valley of the Red river is something enormous. It is 300 miles long by forty to fifty miles wide. Ten years ago the whole country along the west side, where we are, was unoccupied, there not being 1,000 acres under plow for a distance of 200 miles either up or down the river. Now it is substantially one vast wheat field, settled, occupied and improved. A number of towns of from 1,000 to 2,000 inhabitants each, have sprung up and are rapidly growing. Fargo, on the river, has reached a population of from 10,000 to 12,000 in a few years. The river is navigable from Fargo to Lake Winnepeg. At Fargo it is like the Chicago river, about 200 feet wide. Wr> Viovp a st^nmhnnt. and sevp.n tarces " v ' v ' ? ? ? ? ~ that run to Duluth, on Lake Superior, in connection with the farm. The land on each side of the river is rich, fertile soil, and rises less than a foot to the mile as it recedes from the river. A little timber is to be found along the river, the trees being.of oak, maple and ash, but it only extends inland a few rods. There are two railroads running up and down the valley its whole length. The nearest Indians we have are the Chippewas, who have a reservation fifty miles east of us. But they are quite friendly, and in fact the country is as safe from an Indian trouble as are any of the more settled States. The spring we went out there, nine years ago, I remember that General Custer and his men passed through the valley on their way to the Black Hills, and a company of scouts was raised in the valley to accompany him. The Indians had been moved from the valley a short time previous to the , west side of the Missouri, to a rescrva- I tion about 200 miles from us. ' 'It is no coldcr in winter than at Minneapolis and St. Paul. The winters are cold, yet the effect is no more severe than where the mercury is 15 or 20 degrees 4-V? a n4-?v> io OA JLlJgiJLCr, UCUtvudC luc atuiu>?];nuic xo ov/ clear and dry. Spring opens so that farming begins by April 15 and closes about November 15. This compares well with New York and Pennsylvania. The winters are more severe and continuous than here, but are not much longer. We do not have as much snow as falls 500 miles south of us, because of the dry atmosphere. The summers are warm and pleasant, the air pure and bracing. The Territory will compare well with Minnesota and Iowa as to all the elements of productiveness. Our staples are wheat, barley, oats, nax ana roots. native grasses flourish well and can be matured in the smaller varieties. "Game and fishing? Plenty of both. Among the game are wild ducks, prairie chickens, deer, antelopes and elk, all of which are to be f?md in abundance up and down the valley. It used to be a great hunting grouud for buffalo, and in pl^des the ground was found fairly white with their bones, so much so that we had to cart them away. An interesting instance of what we get hold of once in a while is that of two large elks which a resident of Fargo captured. He yoked them together and drove the team about the town for some time. They had immense horn?, twice the size of any deer's, and called forth no end of attention. They were finally sold at St. Paul for a large price at the State fair." What the Indians Cost. Outside of Alaska we have 260,000 Indians, and every buck, squaw and pappoose, be he, she or it full blood, or halfbreed, possess on the average *>00 acres, and yet the government feeds the last one of them?a lew in the Indian Territory alone excepted?at a large annual expense. Last year it cost $6,500,000 to feed and blanket the noble red man. Three years ago Ave expended upon these people nearly double that sum. But as 1C IS linpUMil UiL" IU NH IIIOY uiutu nulls iw the lingers of the Indian agents, a per capita calculation would be only approximate. Since 181(5 we have expanded $225,000,000 in taking care of the Indians, and probably as much more in various efforts to subdue or exterminate the pesky creatures.?Atlanta Constitution. [ "W. A. F.

Danger in Broken Dishes. "Never drink out of a chipped cup or 1 saucer when you take your meals in a res- 1 taurant," said a physician to a reporter. Delf is one of the cheapest things about ' the furnishing of a restaurant, and yet it is wonderful, even in respectable second- 1 class restaurants on Clark street and 1 around the board of trade, how many i broken cups and saucers arc placed be fore the guests. When the glazed surface 1 has been chipped off the rough and ab- 1 sorbent clay beneath is exposed. These ' restaurants are frequented by business men, clerks and others, who never seem to mind it, I presume, because they are ] not aware of the danger they are run- 1 ning." 1 "What is the danger?" , " Well, of course all sorts and condi- - tions of men visit restaurants, and there are a number of diseases the germs of ! which can be communicated by using the 1 cup or saucer of another. Glass and ] glazed delf are, however, easily cleaned, but when the latter is cracked or the glaze is broken off the exposed surface 1 can absorb the specific poison. The dan- ] ger is exactly the same as one incurs when ne smokes cheap cigars made from the , butts picked up in the streets by small i boys and sold to basement cigarmakers. ] I sincerely believe that chipped restau- i rant delf is responsible for cancer of the : mouth and lips in about the same degree as are cheap cigars. Cups and saucers j are not costly, and if the waiter brings chipped ones send them back right . away."? Chicago News.

People do not get candles from water, as a rule, I believe, but nevertheless there i was a time when men were indebted to- j the ocean for much of the light thatj made their homes pleasant at night. The j best candles and oil of jour forefathers' j time came from whales. There is, how-1 ever, a very remarkable light-giver,which | is 'nothing more nor less than a small fish. 1 The fish is so very oily that all you have to do after it has departed this life is to fasten it by its tail between two pieces of wood, touch a match to its head, and a : pale flame will arise from the fish's mouth that lasts until, like a candle, the fish is slowly consumed. The useful fish, moreover is a very important one to people living on the northwestern coast of North America. At certain seasons the candle i fishes swarm the bays and rivers in vast j numbers, and every native man, woman and child is engaged in capturing them. And how do you suppose they catch them? They actually comb them in. The boats drive them in shore, where each native, armea wun a gigantic i weapon with teeth eight inches long, | sweeps or combs them up by the hun-1 dred. When the boats are loaded full I the fish are carried ashore, where women and children take charge of them. After being dried and smoked they are ready for candles. They are also used as food, and in that case the oil i? tried out and put away for winter use.?St. Nicholas. She Will Dust. He had a back load of feather dusters as he rang the door-bell on Montcalm street east yesterday, and when a woman opened the door about two inches and said that nothing was wanted he inquired: "Madam, will you kindly inform me who lives next door?" "Next door?" she queried, coming out on the step. "Why, it is a new family, and I don't remember the name." ' Lady puts on a good deal of style, \ doesn't she?" "Rather." "I thought so. That's the way with j those sort of people; they put it all on i their backs. I asked her if she didn't i want a duster to dust off her upholstered j furniture and bric-a-brac, and she | slammed the door in my face. She | didn't have any dust, you see.
