A' despatch frons Willtesbarre, Pa.,
says;—At 3 o'clock Sunday morning
the City of Pittston, pine miles- from
!sere, was thrown into the wildest Me.
eitement by three distinct and separate
ehoclts, accompanied by rumblings re-
sembling an earthquake disturbance,
Hundreds of people rushed ill mad haste
to the Twin Shaft, operated by the
Newton `Ceai Company, from which the
alarm came, where they learned the
shock was due to an extensive cave-
in, accompanied by an explosion, which
had occurred in .the sixth or lower
vein of the shaft Rumors soon
gained currency that no less than 100
men and boys were entombed in the
pit. The fearful and distressing news
spread with lightening rapidity, and by
8 o'clock this morning the head of the
shaft wag thronged by thousands of
men, women and children. Tbe bourn
following the alarm were full of har-
rowing scenes, Tbe anxious suspense
of the workmen, the grief of the
friends, and tee tender sympathy for
the afflicted ones, manifested by the
spectators, were painful to witness,
TERRIBLE NEWS FROM BELOW,
The first td come to the surface from
the shaft after the explosion was John
Gill, who was at the bottom engaged
in labor. The force of the concis-
sion throw him with terrible force to
the wall, and with intense fear, more
dead than alive, be crept to tbe foot,
and with great difficulty signalled to
the engineer at the surface to hoist
the carriage, 'When he was brought
tip his story added to the doubt as to
the safety of any of the men and boys
below. I•rom him was secured the first
information of thenumber of men in the
shaft. It is thought that not less than
100 workmen have suffered a most
borrible death.
John Riker, a runner boy, Jacob
Adam and Frank H. Sheridan, com-
Peny men, were next brought to the
surface and confirmed Gill's story. It
appears that several days ago the offi-
cials discovered that the rock between
the fifth and sixth veins bad com-
menced "working" and to prevent an
accident all day Saturday and Saturday
night the full complement of day men
and such others as could be pressed
into service were at work pillaring and
propping the sixth vein, so as to en-
sure the safety of the workmen wbo
were to go to work an Monday. Sat-
urday night the regular night force
was Vo
{ r].mg at apoint about 3,000 feet
from the shaft at the foot of No. 3
plane, at a point under what is known
as the Flats, a little east of the Lox-
ton Railway yards, The force was
under the supervision of Supt. Langan
and his assistant, Miebeal Lynot. Or-
ders were given about midnight that
as many men ss possible should be sent
down to assist in this dangerous work.
In accordance with this order, be-
tween 12 and 1 o'clock Sunday morn-
•ing, about 30 additional workmen left
their homes and journeyed to what
note seems their grave.
The new force of men enlisted in the
work was placed at a point beyond that
of the night hands and the terrible
news brought to the surface by the four
men wbo likely will be the only ones
to live to tell the tale of disaster was
that all of these 100 or more men had
been caught and either crushed to im-
mediate death or imprisoned to perish
a death most horrifying. 1
THE MISSION OF RELIEF.
Upon learning this discouraging news
the excitement became more demon-
strative, 11 was found that all the
mine foremen, superintendents and boss-
es who had gone to supervise the work
were with those who are imprisoned.
This gave the work of relief no syste-
matic head, but the rescuers, provid-
Mg themselves with safety lamps, hur-
ried into the mine carriage and were
lowered 1,000 feet or mare an the mis-
sion of relief. They were Job Doyle,
Charles McDonald and James Tenyon.
After a half -boor of suspense they re-
turned with expressions of discourage-
ment and the story that the cave-in
bad become more extensive and that
the search party faced inevitable dan-
ger and tbat no news bad been se-
cured of the unfortunate men. With no
delay, however, they again went down
to the foot of the shaft with other men
and again made heroic efforts to get
what information they could, but again
baffled and discouraged they reheated
their story of defeated effort. bor a
third time, at 2 p.m. to -day, with re
Dewed vigor and still more men, they
went beneath the surface into the pit
and tried by the counter -gangway to
reach by a circuitous route the unfor-
tunate prisoners. After a journey of
nearly a thousand feet they met ob-
structions innumerable, the force of the
concussion having created disastrous
havoc, brattice work, pillars, air con-
duits, doors, cars and top rock having
been piled promiscuously so as to inter-
fere with all efforts that could be made
by any Human being. Then to add to
the trouble an accumulation of gas
bad occurred so as to endanger
efforts to reach any{vbere near the im-
prisaned miners, Not subdued by these
obstacles they again ineffectively tried
their last resource to relieve and re-
cover the men. General Manager John
B. Lav, who has been ill for several
days, made his appearance at the shaft
to give instructions. Special messen-
gers called to the shaft all of the com-
pany's workmen. It having been teem-
ed that the mine was still caving,
tbereby making it lraeticaly Impos-
sible to continue the labor ivitbout
propping up the way es the rescuers
went in, carriage. after carriage 01
props was sant to the bottom, and,
under charge of Foreman Eagan of the
Phoenix mine, Messrs, Maloney of the
Raven abaft and McMillan of the Bar-
num shaft, much progress was made
in this work, and soon the imminent
danger was prevented and at Ieast 50
men were pushing their way to the
toot of No, 8 plane, the scene of the
extensive cave-in. l '
To the encouragement of those who
feared the explosion bad ended the
lives of everytbing in tb0 mine, ward
was sent up that the mules were run-
ning about. The fact, at these mules
living unscathed jgave the impres-
sion that the explosive sounds beard
were due to no gas explosion but only

leading Superintendents of the Lack-

was feerc d that this idea was not
to be depended upon,
NO HOPE ENTERTAINED.
At midnight, after looking over the
situation carefully, the rescuing party
decided that the best thing to do was
to drive a gangway through the coal
from the Clear Spring colliery adjoin-
ing into the Twin Shaft, when it is
expected it will be possible to locate the
entombed men. The work wasat once
begun, and is being pushed with all
the speed possible. Four shifts of men,
each comprising five experienced min-
ors and laborers, are employed in this
task, which is expected to consume at
least three or four days. In the mean-
time the work will be pushed by the
reamers in the fatal shaft also. It is
now the opinion of the most able miners
that it will take several days to find
the entombed men.
At 12.30 as m. a gang of men be-
longing to the rescuing party, who
went in at 6 o'clock, came to the sur-
face and reported that they were mak-
ing headway, though is was slow work.
The roof continues to settle, and dan-
gger is imminent. They are within 660
feet of the cave-in. Gas appears to be
accumulating, which makes the labor
difficult, and delays the work to a great
extent, No hopes are now entertained
for the safety of any of the men.
NEW BICYCLE DEVICES.
Ingenious Leeks, Auxiliary Scat trn,1 Mir..
eel Currier.
Many devices have been adopted
which utilize the bicycle for advertis-
ing purposes. One of the most unique
is a bicycle constructed solely of the
different tools used in the hardware
business. Tbe frame of the machine
is composed of two eircular saws, two
stove rods and one bench screw. The
sprocket wheel is made up of two beli-
e
eled-edge emery wheels. The machin
can be rolled around without falling
to pieces.
Many locks for bicycles have been
making their appearance this season,
but one just invented is noteworthy for
its simplicity. It comprises a detach-
able locking case, suitably applied to
the pedal shaft of the wheel. It is
provided with a bolt and key, and
when desired can be locked at any
time, and thus act in a measure as a
guard againstthievery.
A new auniliary seat and parcel car-
rier for wheels adds another to the
many devices of this kind. It com-
prises a double rod frame, extending
to each side of the top bar and curved
inwardly, hooks and saddle pieces con-
necting the bars from each side to-
getber, to rest over the top bar of the
Irame, and a seat or carrier portion
arranged at the forward end.
All devices of this nature look sim-
ple and practical enou'gb, but it is a
fact that when in use they hamper the
rider considerably and have so far not
met with popularapproval.
Pneumatic cushion frames are being
applied to nearly all of the bicycles now
in course of manufaoture. The cushon
device proper is composed of pneuma
tic telescoping tubes working one with-
in another. The innermost tube con-
tains a graduated spiral spring, the
purpose
of of thechridero Do bled aiir
pockets within the tubes are to sus-
tain the thrust of the rider wben cross-
ing obstructions. Tbe air also serves
to assist the spring to return the
er to a normal position without any
tendency to an upward throw.
Though the cushion device is placed
on the rear frame only, it is so con-
structed, it is claimed„ that both wbeel's
are saved from sudden shock or trem-
bling, and that thus handle bar vibra-
tion is eliminated.
Inventors and manufacturers are now
giving their entire attention to the
construction of some kind of motor for
the bicycle. Electricity has been tried
several times, but without much suc-
cess. Compressed air has been con-
sidered, but not seriously. However,
when the news came that compressed
air motors would be applied to cable
cars, the subject was again taken up
with great eagerness.
Whether a suitable compressed sir
motor can also be constructed for the
bicycle does not seem at all improbable.
As a motive power it would certainly
be more desirable than any gasoline or
electric power so far tried. In tbe
meantime interesting developments of
an inventive cbaracter are anxiously
awaited.

edy., William Cerry., of Owen Sound,

with weakness of the heart. and faint-
ing spells for two years, and ofttimes
was unfitted for any works Naturally
much anxiety was felt by myself and
friends, for no treatment seemed to do
me may good., 1 was influenced, how-

Heart, and found it as praolaimed—a
speedy' cure. 1 have now taken five
bottles, and it has brought back to my
heart the proper action, 'and made ine
strong and. wall." '
1 Catarrh—Ogle secret of success in Dr.
• Agnew's Catarrhal Powder, is that it
is easy and pleasant to use. As Mr.
W. H. Bennett, Conservative member
in the test House of Commons, said,
"talten in the morning it clears the
bead of any cold or catarrhal trouble
that is manifest."' But it not alone
deals with the minor cases of catarrh,
but even where deafness and some of
the worst forms of disease have be-
come :neatest, those have been era-
dicated by this remedy., To the names
of Mr. George E. Casey, Hon. David
Mills, Hugo H. Ross might be added
scores of other members of ,the late
Parliament, who, over their own signa-
tures, bave borne testimony to the 'leal.-

Wbeu heart failure overtakes a per-

tide remedy saved her life. She had
been much affected with heart failure,
Sinding it almost impossible to sleep or
lie down for fear of suffocation• Phe
best doctor's skill in these Northwest
Territories was of no avail. Sbe says—
'A total druggist recommended a bot-

It would be a mistake to suppose tbat

only cure the milder forms of catarrh.
It will certainly do this, and with won-
derful expedition. But, as in, the case of
Mr. Jobb Mapinnis, of Watliabuck

borers on removing the floor of an old
barn in Thames Ditton, England, dis-
covered a multitude of rats. Upward
of 509 were captured, of which some two
dozen were killed and the hind quar-
ters baked in a pie with a quantity of
bacon. The men and others met at the
Old Harrow public house and ate the
pie, which they greatly enjoyed, aver-
ring that tbe flesh of the rodents was
Qui e a delicacy.

F,qunlly well known is Mr, Bell in other
provinces of the Dominion, having been
for yenta a member of the ,Manitoba
'Methodist Conference and part ofthis
time was stationed in 'Winnipeg. His
brother, Air. James A. Bell, is a highly
respected resident of Beaverton, wnere

a bottle of this great discovery. A
second bottle of tbe medicine was taken
and the work was done. Employing bis

not deprecate the good our clergymen
and social reformers are doing in the
world, but how ill -fitted they welled be
for their work were it not the relief
that South American Norville brings to
them when pApsica? ills overtake
them, and when the system, as a re.
suit of hard, earnest and continuous 1
work, breaks down. Nervine treats the
system as the wine reformer treats tie
evils he is battling against. It atrtaes a0'

Nervine at once works on these nerve
