OP SEVERAL HUNDRED FEET IN A WRECKED BALLOON. One of the Men Says He Oould Not Describe the Sensation of the Ter* rible Fall. The the flight for a world’s dis tance record from Quincy, 111., by Hollaad Forbes, holder of the Terrible Explosion Shots Up One Hundred and Thirty-Six in a Coal Shaft at White Haven, England. An explosion In the Wellington coal mine at White H ay en, Engl and, during Wednesday night cut oft the exit from 136 miners, who were Labia cup. and James Carrington - working below tfe iurfacer Yates, the astronomer, both of New York, which began at Quincy on Monday ev nlng, terminated late on Tuesday in a disastrous tumble to Eight high school students, six [the earth from a height of perhaps girls and two boys lost their lives Thursday while boating on what is known as the Old Paper Mill dam, at Huntingfon Mills, Pa. The dead are: Maud Sutcliffe, aged 17 years; Carolyn Koonz, aged 16; Ruth Bon ham, aged 18; Iris Davenport, aged 16; Madeline Godd, ajed 17; Robert Minnich, aged 17; R.-.y Doosou, aged 17. Twelve students of the Hunting- ton High School obtained two boais at the noon hour and started for a row about the daqj, Ibe dam is nearly half a mile in width,‘afid wheu the two crafts had reached Uie centre of the body of water it was noticed that one of them had sprung a leak. fThe two boats were then pulled together by the young men in the party and an effort was Ireing mane to transf-r the girls from the leaky boat to the safe craft. The last one of the party had successfully set foot in the boat when it began to sink under the weight of the party. The girls were helpless to save themselves and the boys of the par- ty, with the exception of Dodson, being expert shimmers, struck out for the shore, which all reached In safety. 'Minnich, in the excite ment, It is presumed, thought that all the young women had succeeded in roac.hing land. He had no sooner gained the bank than Tie noticed the girls hanging to the rapidly sinking boat. The boy dashed into the water and swam swiftly to the water-filled craft. Only two of the girls were clinging to the boat, the others hav ing gone down for the last time. Seizing Miss Davenport. Min nich again started for the shore, but the exertion was too much for the 300 feet near Center, Ky., was not without its compensations was in dicated by a statement made by Mr. Forbes Thursday night. The bal loon broke the ascent record, It is declared, and some valuable photo graphs of the comet were secured at an elevation of 18,000 feet. 'On Tuesday morning after meas urement, Messrs. Fornes and Yatea, In the Viking, passed through a snow storm, at 11.40 o'clock, at an eleva tion of 16,000 feet. An hour later they passed, through the second flur ry .at a height of 16,400 feet. At 2 o’clock on Tueeday afternoon the balloon reached the extreme alti tude of 20,600 feet, which Is 2,000 feet higher than any authorized rec ord ever made In America. Mr. Forties thus describes their exper iences after reaching the greatest height: "In descending from the great ele vation we had very little sand left, and as the gas contracted, the bal loon bag became extremely flabby Fv.’rything, however, went well until we were a few hundred feet above the ground when the appendix line broke loose from the ring supporting the basket Rescue parties succeeded early on Thursday in saving four tnen who had been working at the bottom of the shafts, but were prevented by the gas from penetrating to a point where the other men are imprisoned.. Every Indication was that Inner workings of the mine were afire. Dis tracted crowds of relatives surround ed the pit head. The colliery is owned by the Earl of Longsdale and its workings extend four or five miles beneath the sea. fThe spot where the 85 hewers and some fifty-odd shiftmen still impris oned were working at the time of the explosion Is about three miles from the shaft exit. TRYING TO CHEAT JUSTICE. Scheme Being Hatched to Keep Jones Oat of Prison. Attorneys for W. T. Jones, con vlcted for the murder of his wife and sentenced to life imprisonment on Thursday went before Judge T. S Sease and secured an order grant ing a stay of the execution of the sentence. The remittitur from the State 8u preme Court, which had confirmed the verdict and sentence of the Court of General Sessions for Union Coun- There was so little gas j ty, was received by Clerk of Court in the bag at the time that the rig ging collapsed and, with the basket attached, naturally dropped. This caused the rip cord, which is at tached to the riging, to rip open the bailion at the height of 300 feet from the ground. "I cannot describe *the sensation of that 300-foot fall to the ground. It came so suddenly. I have a faint recollection of seeing men below me in a ploughed ft id and of subcon sciously trying, it seemed, to tilt up the- basket that Mr. Yates and I might spring free from the rlggii.g when close to the ground.

The order Southern Cotton Reaches Europe in Very Bed Shape. A decision was handed down by the Inner-State commerce commis sion Wednesday with the importance of the prop r baling of cotton ship ped from points in the South to Eu ropean destinations. In the course of the opinion the commission says: "it is not deemed amiss to call the attention of cotton growers and shippers and the railroads to the fact that cotton bales from th^ Unit ed States shipped to Europe are re ceived in worse oon.Mtion as to pack ing than cotton bales arriving there from any other country.” The case was brought by Ander son. Clayton & Co., of Oklahoma, against the Chicago, Rack Island and Pacific Railway Company, and other Int r-StsUe carriers, in which it was alleged that every service, including the applying of the owners or ship pers patches to cotton bales in their Compression, was included in the through fr&lght rate to final desti- naticn of the shipment. The commission holds that the facts do not justify an order against the defendant carriers: that the car riers Lxt*the riJht to compress cot ton in transit and that the shippers or owners have the privilege of c. n- eentrating cotton at designated com presses, with the right of such ship pers .or owners to delivesr the cotton hack* to the carriers for transporta tion to Its final destination on the through rate for point of origin. 1 believe the only tnlng that i-** 4 - vented the breaking of our bajxs when the basket fell bottom squarely .•own u^d-cr the weight of th-* bag w as the re- air mattress wn* :h we had piu-i in the bottom (f . ..e or.skiU. tiiai v> e might ne com r o't>’o e when we wanted to lie down.” A FANATIC CALLED DOWN. recites, however, thai affidavits have been'-submitted to the effect tb*t there was misconduct on the part of Jurors who tried the case,* and fur ther, that claim is made that there is after discovered evidence, which may offset the merits of the case.

Page has been out of the city for several days. He returned Wednesday morning, was met by a group of prominent citizens, forced to eat a clipping of the editorial, and was then taken in charge by a constantly increasing crowd.

Two of the. men. Private Quigley and Mc Nally, are seriously, but not fatally wounded, ^ while Privates McCarthy, Callahan, Stansberry and Sleder are less badly shot. The negroes who did the shooting have left the neighborhood,-and have not been arrested up to this time. About a week ago, Isaac Potter and and soldier from the fort, had a fight on the road near Cusper City, on St. Helena Island, which result ed In Potter being cut by the sol dier. It Is said that at this time and afterwards the two Potters threatened to shoot the first soldier caught off the reservation after that night. - j On -Monday night. Privates eaI*4 T lahan, McCarthy, Stransberry and Sled' r were shot from the bushes while walking along a road a short distance from the reservation lines. The weapons used were shotguns and the smallness of the shot was *11 that prevented fatal results, as the men were fired on from close range. Considerable excitement and much feeling was apparent among some ol' the men after the shooting. On the next day a party of six soldiers are said to have gone to the Potter house carrying two shotguns along with them, to see the Potters and find out whether o^not they hadl anything to do vlrlth the shooting of t.heir comrades on the previous eve ning.
