Pottsvii.i.k. Ph., April 21. Another

their lives, while thoso of two others
aro in jeopardy. Six of theso nro Ital
ians, nnd tho others Americans,
Tho Italians were engaged in driving
n gnngwny 170 feet in front of the main
slope, which is down 150 yards. Two

bering. Theso aro tho ones drowned.
llesldes these, two others, named
John Hugging nnd Wm. Bell, who wero
insldo nt the first, tried to res
cue their companions, and then,
seeing this was futile, endeav
ored to release tho mules,
about ten in number, wero caught by
tho water and lied to a high part of tho
gangway, where they were imprisoned
in what is called the saddle of tho voin.
They are alive, and can bo heard tap
ping on the coal. On hearing this res
cuing parties were at once put tit work
cutting a passage way to the interven
ing barrier to rescue them from a higher
level. There are supposed to bo fifeeen
feet of solid coal between tho rescuing
party and tho men. It is expected to
reach them between midnight nnd
morning.
The water that caused the calamity
broke in from an old working, notwith
standing the operators had taken every
precaution to prevent such an accident
by constantly keeping holes driven
ahead to a distauco of 2!M feet.

causo it wns too wet to work. An hour
after they went homo the water broko
in and caught the men working in tho

known as "Nova Scotia," were near
where the water rushed in, and mado
their escape.
The rescuing party broko through
and took out Win. Hell alive and sound
at ten o'clock. The rescue is still go
ing on.
IiOUISIANA ELECTIONS.
Tho Result Ik us Stilted 111 Former Dis
patches. New Oni.nANS, April 81. The election
returns come in slowly in the city. Fitz-
patriek is elected over Skakospeare by
over 5,000 votes. The Foster-Fanners'
Alliance combine is elected in the stato
by some 50,000.
Tho Times-Democrat, tho leading
supporter of the MeEnery faction, de
nounces the result in the; outlying par
ishes, and says it could only havo
been obtained by gross frauds and mon
strous ballot-box stuffing. Tho Leon
ard factions of the ltcpublicans seem to
have snowed under the Ilreaux-War-moth
administration faction. Tho com
position of tho legislature is still in
doubt, but it looks as if the Foster fac
tion of the democrats would be able to
control it, in spite of any combination
that tho MeEnery faction might be ablo
to make. The MeEnery faction asserts
that it will contest the count in the leg
islature for members of that body, and
as the secretary of state has the com
piling of the returns, it may mako
trouble.

I
Nr.w Yonit, April 22. Jos. A. Palmer,
of this city, was arrested Thursday aft
ernoon, charged with tho larceny of
$50,000 from tho firm of Tiffany & Co.,
on Union square. Palmer was captured
nt his warcrootns, 13 East Seventeenth
strcot, and when he learned that
his misdeeds had bocn found out,
ho exclaimed: "Oh, my! I wish
I had shot myselfl" He ac
knowledged his guilt to Inspector Steers
later at police headquarters. The steal
ing had been carried on for inoro than
flvo years in a very systematic manner.
Charles L. Tiffany, tho head of tho firm
of Tiffany it Co., and James F. Palmer,
the prisoner's father, were close friends
from boyhood days until Mr. Palmer
died in 1878, leaving his business to his
sou.
The Palmers manufactured fincbronzo
goods for Tiffany & 'Co. Ho rendered
tho firm many largo bills. Tho son was
manager for tho elder Palmer, nnd did
a great deal of tho business. On ac
count of tho warm fricndsliip which ox
isted between tho elder Palmer nnd Mr.
Charley Tiffany, the usual system of
auditing bills was not used in the set
tling of the accounts.
When old Mr. Palmer died, the samo
courtesy and loose way of conducting
business was continued by tho son,
who abused the confldenco reposed in
him. On Monday Inst a discrepancy
was discovered in a bill rendered by
the prisoner on the 10th inst. for ?240.
Tho items only footed up $220. Tho
bill had been checked with tho initials
of Mr. T. C. Cook, a member of tho
firm of Tiffany & Co. When Mr. Cook
was shown tho initials he pronounced
them forgeries. Tho case was then re
ported to the police. Palmer is ."0 years
old and married. His wife is complete
ly prostrated nt the turn affairs havo
taken. They havo three children. Pal
mer had been playing the races, and
losing heavily. He was drunk when
arrested. It is thought that his swindling
mny exceed $50,000,af tor an examination
of the books und accounts has been
made.

has arrived here. Reports have reached
him that there has been a battle be
tween the Texans and Kansans over
town site claims, in which fourteen men
wero killed. This news comes through
a man who claims to have left the new
county seat just after tho battle.
This report says the Texans and
Kansans made the race from the south
line) of tho county in close parallel
lines and reached county scat of coun
ty II at nearly the snrae time. They
then scattered and the scrambled for
lots began. It was then that the trouble
commenced.
First there was a war of words and
then revolvers were drawn, and before
Capt. Do Rudio, the regular army offi
cer In charge, could interfere, 14 men
were killed.
Col. Wade, commanding Ft. Reno,
is anxious, having no courier advices.
Ho believes tho fight has been greatly
exaggerated, for he has confidence in
tho discretion and valor of Capt. Do
Rudio.
Lieut. Swift brings in word of a con
flict among four men about twenty
miles from this point, who had settled
on tho same claim. He says one man
was killed, one fatally wounded, and
tho two uninjured ones fled before tho
patrols could arrive.

Tlint Shower of1 Flen ntid lllood In Iow
A Sluugliter-IloiiBO Cnrrled for 'Miles
Through tho Air.
Fausiington, la., April 23. Tho
pcoplo of this city havo boon wrestling
with a mystery foe nbout threo weeks,,
and now it has been solved in a way
which surprises thu people from its very
simplicity. At tho tlmo of tho tornadoes
during Kho first part of tho month this
city and immediate vicinity was
visited by a shower of blood
and raw meat. Tho ilesh fell
In largo quantities on tho streets,
and tho blood was in tho shape of
clotted drops which spattered tho houses
and tho streets. Tho whole thing was
n great mystery, for there was no report
of any one or any animal being torn to
shreds, which must havo been tho enso
to havo furnished thu material for such
a shower. The report of tho shower was
sent out at tho time, and it was received
generally by tho public a tho work
of a cyclone fakir, but there has como
a report to-day welch shows that thcro
was a good foundation for the story,
and tho peoplo nro now satisfied with
tho fact that thcro was nothing uncan
ny about their visitation. A letter
from a town in tho northwestern part
of Kansas tells of tho destruction of a
slaughter houso and sausage factory
in that town on tho day of
the shower of blood nnd flesh in this
city. Tlio letter states that tho
entire plant, with its freshly killed hogs
and tho whole supply of moat und blood
for blood sausages, was taken up into
the air by tho cyclouo nnd carried away
so far that it has not since been heard
of. It is now boliovcd that the shower
of flesh was tho result of that storm and
tho whole deposit was carried for a
dstaueo of ovor 100 miles before it was
dropped.

A CRAFTY DEER.
Tlio Method llj-Wlileli n Wnry Old Stag
Kseuped I'ursiilt,
Deer have learned wonderful cunning
from their hardships in the chase.
Sometimes n wary stag, started up from
his covert, will run Into another leafy
haunt whero a young animal has taken j
refuge, and turn him out, lying dow
In his place, no doubt hoping with all
his panting heart that the hunters will
not know tho difference. Hurried fortft
from that resting-place, he then doubles,
nnd turns, and perhaps takes to the wa
ter, not only as solaco for his hcateA
blood but to throw tho hounds off th
scent. One old stag, mentioned i
"Forty-five years of Sport," had eve
more advanced ideas than these.
For many years past Lord Lovnt had
been trying to hunt down this stag,
nlclcnamed "Square Toes," but as th
animal had extraordinary cunning, it
was fifteen years before ho succeeded
In getting n shot at It. At lust, on
day, when lie nnd his stalker were i
hot pursuit of "Square Toes" and hU
several hinds, tho animals iisconded a.
hill, nnd us they reached tho sky-line,
the hinds alone seemed to cross it.
Again tho old strategist had mysteri
ously disappeared.
Tho stalkcl- look down his glass and
shut it with a slap, and Lord Uivat,
equally disgusted, resigned himself t
the usual situation. Among the niea
present, however, was a now hand, whe
deehircd bashfully, that ono of th
hinds, In going over the sky-line, ap
peared to have thrco ears.
"My lord," cried tho stalker, joyfully,
on hearing the remark, "yon stng U
with the hinds; we'd better be going."
However, Lord Lovnt had seen n
reason for believing Uw stag lobe there,
and still hesitated.
"There's no time to bo lost," insistc'
the num. "Come, my lord, lot us b
going!" 1
"But how on earth do you make that
out?"' asked his muster.
"Well, my lord," replied the man, "If
you will bo starting, to save time, I will
tell you as wo go. When you get to tho
top of the hill we shall see Square Toes
or I am mistaken, for do you not kuow
yon lad said one hind seemed to havo
three curs? Well, it's just possible yo
third oar was a brow antler, and the
canny beast litis all this timo been 'do
ing us' by throwing his horns on his
back, and getting in among tho hinds,
when going over tho sky-lino."
Over the hill they rode, and found thu
clever stag placidly feeding. Stul to re
late, his career as an inventor was then
and there out short, but his "method"
has probably passed on, in tradition, to
other members of the herd. Youth's,
