Fierce Flames Burst Forth from the Mouth ot the Pit. And Yet Brave Men Will Con tinue the Search. Twill Be Little Short of a Miracle If Any of the Entombed Men Are Beacaed Alive, a. It I. reared the Mine I a Man of Seething Fleas All Through or Xlw Filled With Smoke. Dunbar, Pa., Jane 80. The flames which have burning in the Farm Hill mine burst forth from the mouth of the pit at 8:30 o'clock Friday night and leaped thirty feet in the air. All efforts to extinguish the flames have proven fruitless, and the buildings in the vicin ity have been torn down to prevent the fire spreading. A hurried consultation followed be tween the inspectors and District Master Workman Watchorn, as to the advisa bility of abandoning search for the im prisoned men. It was the belief of the inspectors that it was absolutely dan gerous to proceed further, but they de cided to finish the work themselves. A hole was drilled into the Hill Farm, and at 11 o'clock the inspectors started on their perilous search. They took their lives in their own hands and it was a question whether they would ever see daylight again. It is feared the mine is on fire all through or else filled with smoke. In either case the danger is very great. It is of a character, too, that tries to the very utmost the courage of any man. In the dark, with tons of loose earth above them, a false step or any kind of a move may bring death to an instant Another Account. PrrrsBCRO, June 80. The following was received from Dunbar Saturday morning: The conference of mine inspectors lasted for nearly an hour Friday night. Every possible plan of rescue was dis cussed but none of them was adopted. Finally Inspectors Loutitt, Keighley, Secretary Watchorn and Workman Ker foot and Manager Hill, of the furnace company, decided to face death itself that the entombed men may be rescued. They decided to go to the face and to gether dig through. There are eleven feet of coal to dig or about two hours' work. They are all provided with all ppliancea for their safety, but they car ry their lives in their hands, and every body about the pit bade them good-by and wished for their safe return. ONLY A POCKET. Aa Vet the Beecner. Have Mot Readied the Hill Farm Mine. Dunbar, Pa., June 80. Friday night was truly a night of excitement. This morning all is gloom again; gloomier, if possible than since the disaster occurred. The detail of inspectors aud diggers who entered the mine earlv Saturday rooming prepared to battle with death ifelf in their effort to break the barrier between them and the interior of the Hill Farm mine, reported that it was a mere pocket that the drill had pushed into in advance of the digging. Thev are not inside or tne am arm mine. An entrance to the small cavern was easily effected; nothing, however, but solid walls ot coal surrounded them. The rescuers are visibly dishearted, but resolutely set to work digging into the olid coal. They say that the the maps of the mines are certainly wrong, and that they can form no opinion where they are going. Tliey are now thirty five feet between the property lines, and ahduld have been within the mine as many hours ago. Secretary watcaoru. who baa hitherto been one of the most sanguine of the rescuers, is disheartened. He says that he has now lost all hope of rescuing the entombed men. He says that the nien nave doubtless either been roasted alive or are by this time rotten. The flames continue to issue from the entrance to the Hill Farm mine with terrible fury. The tongues of fire reach nearly a hun dred feet in the air, while the sun is obscured by the measureless volumes of rmoke. A 6WIM FOR LIFE. How Mluourl Murderer Got Away From Sheriff1. Fo.ee. St. Joseph, Mo., June 80. West Car rin&ton, the murderer of Robert Oder, at Opwer, Mo., on Thursday night, escaped the officers Friday in an ex citiug way. Carrington, mounted on hore. reached here about daylight and rested by the river side, waiting for the ferryboat to carry him to the Kansas side. The river is very high and the boat only makes two trips a day. Car rington did not know this, but waited nnul he was surprised by the sheriff's posse. Jumping on his willing horse he nrged the animal into the river, which ia a mile wide. The officers opened fire and a hasty search for boats was made. When about 100 hundred yards from shore the horse was seen to slowly sink. Off sprang the rider, and as ho struck the water he grasped the animal by the tail. The horse struck out bravely tow ing the murderer after him. By this time two boats containing the sheriff's deputies set out from the shore, but the rwift current swept them down the at ream, despite the rowers' strenuous efforts to pull screws, while the horse and his human tow went steadily on toward the Kancas shore. The animal lay down exhanstM when he reached the lope on the otisr aid The man follow ed suit, but only for a moment. Then both arose.

Nashville, Tenn., June 30. There was a considerable panic all over the city Friday through fears of a water famine. None of the higher portions of the city have had any water since the night of the 21st, when the old water works were disabled. Thursday it was found that a joint in the suction pipe at the new station naa oecome loose, and that more air than water was being pumped. Thursday night it was de cided to shut down.so that the pipe could be tightened. The work was not done as quickly as was expected, and consequently tne snppiy or water gave out about 9:30 Friday. Nobody was prepared for the emer gency, and ail over the citv sullerinir re sulted. Every factory in the city was compelled to shut down, elevators stopped running, and the great engines of the United electric railway plant ceased to move. Over sixty electric cars were left standing in the streets, and the sweltering public had to foot it. None of the fire engine houses had enough water to get up steam, and a fire in a closely settled portion ot the city would have resulted disastrously. The citizens generally were also greatly inconvenienced, and enterprising men and boys did a land office business hauling water from the river. It was nearly noon when the engines were again pnt to wore and the pipes hi led. INDIANA'S DISGRACE. White Cap. Again A Man Beaten and a Woman Tarred and Feathered. New Albany, June 80. Information has been received here that the White Caps of Crawford county on Wednesday night entered the residence of Willis Strain, until recently a United Brethren minister, near Leavenworth, and taking him and his paramour to the woods near by, beat him with switches until the blood flowed from 100 wounds and he was unconscious.

Strain came from Cincinnati two years ago with the woman, and they have lived as man and wile. The husband held religious meetings in the school house near the county line, and for a time was highly respected. M Thev auarreled treauentlv. and the woman a few days age divulged the fact that they were not married.

The Action of the Men Said to Have Deen a Complete and Entire Surrender The Strike Laited Leu than Vive Day. and . Cost the Cciuimuy 1,000 an Hour Other Strike and Labor New., STRIKERS BEATEN.' The llllooU Central Hen Do Mot Gain . Their Point. Chicago, June 30. At 2 p. m. Frl day the Illinois Central strike was de clared off, and the men will return to work this afternoon, on the condition that, thoucrh Surjerintendent Russell Ixt retained, he be deprived of the power to 1 1 a a.- iure ana uiscnarge men. At the conclusion of the meetincr Fri day afternoon, the strikers filed out and announced that by a vote of 30U to 103 they had decided to accept the conces sions of the company and return to work. Preparations for the resumption of business were at once begun, and the nrea m the engines in the switch yards, wnicn nave Deon banked tor three days, were stirred into life and fresh coal put on preparatory to getting up steam. General Superintendent Interviewed. General Surjerintendent Sullivan was seen after the settlement, and at the close of the final conference. He said that the strike was settled, not upon the basis of any concession ou the part of tne railroad company, hut by the com nlete and entire surrender of the men. He said Superintendent Russell's powers had not been in any way curtailed, but tnat ne would continue to give orders as he had always given them. He said it had always been the usage of the road for a division superintendent to give orders only to his immediate inferiors. Chairman Burns, of the strikers' grieV' ance committee, m announcing to (ion eral Superintendent Sullivan the surren der of the malcontents, said that the whole trouble was oue of the many diffi culties that arise an a lack of organiza tion. Organized labor would never have experienced such a state of affairs. A movement to end these conditions as far as the Illinois Central was concerned was already under way. Mr. Sullivan renlied that he thoucrht. as Mr. Burns had said, the trouble re sulted from lack of organization, but also from the lack of a proj-sr statute to protect organized capital trom euch as saults. After this interchange the company's telegraph wires were put at the service or the grievance committee, and bv night the trains on the entire Illinois Central system were running as usual. " The strike lasted four days and seven hours. On the statement of one of the leading officials of the road, the loss to the company was $1,000 an hour, or something over $ luo.uuy. ON THE ATCHISON SYSTEM The President Pronounce, the Strike Knmor n AxeKgerated. Rumors were afloat Friday to the ef fect that a Btrike involving all the train men on the 9,000 miles of railroad, which comprise the Atchison system. was about to take place. Regarding these rumors president Allen Melville aid: "They are greatly exaggerated. No demands have been made by our men, and so none could possibly have been refused. Gen. A. A. Robinson, the general man ager of the Atchison system, is at the Grand Facinc. He says that the tram men were not affected by the order issued when W. B. Strong was president which reduced the pay roll 1U per cent. He did not think there was any danger of a strike, but any differences between the employes and the mnnagement would be settled at a conference between all the parties interested. On Quitting the men began campaign ing among the 1,500 stevedores along the docks with the idea of spreading the strike to all the lines in the city. Thev received favorable promises und the prospect of a tie-up of all the lines is good unless the matter is amicably set tled soon. At 2 o'clock Saturday morning three patrol wugons swept down on the men as they were loitering about the docks and thirty were arrested. CHICAGO STEVEDORES. On. Hundred Strike for an Advance It May Spread. One hundred stevedores employed by the Lehigh Valley Transportation com pany struck at 12 o'clock Friday night. They were loading the steamer Cayuga with lard at the time. The men have been dissatisfied vith their wages, and with other treatment. During the in tense heat of Friday night they say the company refused to supply them with sufficient drinking water. This intensi fied their ill-feeling, and they demanded a raise of wages from twenty cents to twenty-five cents an hour for day work and thirty cents for night work. The demand was rejected and they quit work. Later Saturday morning the steve dores returned to work at the old scale. A South Carolina TV reck. Acousta, Ga., June 80. A service train on the Port Royal and Western Carolina railway collided with a passen ger train near Verdery, S. C, Friday.

One of tho offi cors, who was on the trial of the Phila- delphia was asked what he thought the vessel had really accomplished. He said, "I think that the Philadelphia has proven nerscii the tastest war vessel afloat." The engineer officers on board the Philadelphia are said to be of the opinion that her engines are too powerful for the hull. At one time during her irreat est speed on the trial trip the engines viDrated trom one-eighth to one-quarter of an inch. On her run down the coaHt on Thursday morning experiments were made with running under steam from two boilers as to the consumption of coal.

GOT TOO A British Commander Liable to Get Into Trouble Per Clcs'.r.s a Newfoundland Lobster Factory. James Dalrd, the Owner, Will Ilrlnf Ae . tion Against 11 im for Damage. The Local Government Will Kick Against the BritUh Government Usurping- Au thority Illegal ly. St. Johns, N. F., June 30. Com mander Sir Baldwin Walker, of the British war ship Emerald, who sent a party of marines ashore and closed the lobster factory of James Baird, at Fischel's brook, is liablo to get into trouble. Mr. Baird has gone to that place to take the statutory declarations with a view to serving a warrant on Capt. Walker for trespass. The case involves two actions, Baird against Walker for damages, and the local government against the British government for usurping authority il legally. . . A number of people employed in the factory are thrown out of employment, and they have no other means of earn ing a livelihood. The French warship Bisson arrived at St. George's bay June 25 to assist the war ships La Perouse and Indre ' in the fishery trouble. French lobster fac tories are in full oderation. The Rev. Dr. Howies has interviewed the premier on the people's compensa tion claim, and the matter will be laid before the council. Comment, of the London Pre.a 1 London,' June 80. The Times, com menting on the Bay St. George incident, says that the gravest conseoiences must follow a repetition of the affair. While The Times charges the Newfoundland authorities with alternately blowing hot and cold, it acknowledies that thev can not be expected by the home govern ment to consent to the negotiation in 1891 of a modus vivendi similar to the one which now maintains. The paper concludes its editorial com ment by asking whether in this connec tion, Lord Salisbury will supplement the Anglo-German negotiations with another diplomatic triumph. The standard says: Whether o notr France accepts an offer of compensation for her Newfoundland fishing rights, Lord Salisbury owes it to an essentuilly meritorious class of colonial subjects to use his highest influence in secunnir them in their country just treatment and a free field for their energies. WORLD'S FAIR WORRIMENT.' A Non-rolltlcnl Move Will Cause Much Fain to Slimy. Chicaoo, June 80. Tho old adage of digging a pit and falling into it was well exemplified Friday iu the careless action in the western and Pacific coast combination in the National committee of the world's fair; the committee on permanent 'organiza tion made a partial report recom mending that a president and five vice president and a secretary be a partial list of permanent officers of the National committee, and that in the selection of the same they should be of alternate politics. The National committee then proceeded to elect a president, which they did in the selection of Thomas W. Palmer, of Michigan, for that office. lie being a Kepnblican. thev discover ed after his installation that tho first vice president must tie a Democrat. The western and Pacific caucus had decided to put forward tho Hon. M. H. DcYoung as their candidate for the first vice presi dent, but he being a Republican, under the rule that they had votod to adopt, that became an iiiijxtssiliility. A result . of tho above rulo is that . there will only bo two Republican vice presidents the second ana the fourth and there are-jiow " over fifteen candi dates for those two positiotw. Une of tho prominent names men? tloned in connection with tho place is Mr. Jones, editor of The St. Louis Re public, thus making two prominent newspaper men candidates for the same position. Mr. De Young is very stronor in the main committee, having the support of the western and Pucific coast caucus: most tf the southern states and the delegates from New York. The cause of the deep interest in the election of tho vice president is the projiosed plan of dividing the exposition into so many sections and each vice preside, .t lx-ing placed in absolute control of one of the sections. It is also exjH-cted that the vice presidents will vwit Euroiw as of ficial commissioners in behalf of the commiasion. rnmoir Ulrtlulay. London. June 80.
