Slocum, justice of the peace, several offenders were given their trials, and the cases against them were disposed of in an expiditious manner. The first case on the docket was that against Joseph Ballfany,charged with grand larceny. Ballfany has been accused of having entered the rear room of McCann and Collins’ saloon building and taking several articles from a trunk in the room, making his ‘“‘get- away” with the stolen stuff. This case was dismissed and the prisoner discharged, as the complaining wit- ness failed to put in an appearance against Ballfany. and you | have the legislature at its next “log| John Sullivan, charged with |rolling” enact that any hunter of |assault in the second degree, was given a hearing. Sullivan was accused of having chewed the finger of a gentleman who was with him in a saloon at Puposky, the digit having been so badly “gnawed” that the party canabalism “was made feared he would lose the finger. ‘Sullivan mitted, in default of bail, the action of the next grand jury. rested ten days ago on the charge of having stolen a pair of shoes from the front of a local store, was placed on trail: Although the evidence was such that Heddington was un- deniably guilty, he decided to “stand pat” and demanded a jury trial. a nuisance that it was necessary for times. It took the jury but a few moments to find Heddington guilty of the theft charged against him, and Judge Slocum sentenced the defendant to serve ninety days in | the county jail.

NO SIGN OF LIFE ANYWHERE Said the Death List Will Be Increased to Forty or Fifty When the Res- cuers Succeed in Reaching Remote Sections of Colliery. Pittsburg, Dec. 4.—Thirty-one of the miners caught by an explosion of firedamp Sunday night in the Naomi mine of the United Coal company, lo- cated near Fayette City, have been reached by the rescuers. All were dead and their bodies were burned and charred almost beyond recogni- tion, The rescuers are now nearing the end of the workings and they have the opinion of the owners of the mine few, if any, more victims will be found, but among miners and others in the village there is a firm belief that the total number of victims is between forty and fifty. There are thirty-six entries in the mine and until the last of these has been searched the full extent of the disaster will not be known. Because of the accumulation of gas the work of rescue in the remote sections of the mine is greatly impeded. A second explosion is a constant menace and every precaution is being| taken to avert such a catastrophe. Frenzied Women at Pit Mouth. Scores of frenzied women constant- ly surround the pit mouth and the special detail of officers has much trouble in keeping them from inter- fering with the work of the rescuers. Many of these women would go down the shaft and penetrate the workings of the mine were they not restrained by the officers. A large force of physicians was hur- ried to the scene immediately follow- ing the first reports of the explosion. So far their services have not been needed for the men in the mine, but they have not been idle. In fact they have been in almost constant requisi- tion on behalf of the rescuers, who, despite the fact that they work in relays only a fraction of an hour, are constantly being prostrated by the fumes of gas. A number of the res. cuers have been taken from the scene In a serious comdition. The cause of the explosion has not yet been ascertained. !One theory is that it resulted from the explosion of blackdamp in an unused entry when a miner carrying an open lamp crossed the ‘“dead line.” Another is that a spark from the trolley line over which cars are hauled fromthe workings to the mouth of the shaft {gnited a vocket of gas in the mine. found no sign of life asywhere. In]| SECOND BANK CLOSES. Michigan State Treasurer In Financial Trouble. Detroit, Mich., Dec. 4.—As a further result of the financial troubles of State Treasurer Frank P. Glazier of Clielsea, which were made public after Banking Commissioner, Zimmer- man had taken charge of the Chelsea (Mich,) Savings bank and a commit- tee of Detroit bankers had decided to no longer carry about $600,000 of pa- per of Mr, Glazier and his Glazier Stove company of Chelsea, but to ap- ply for a receiver for the institution, the Commercial bank of Stocklgidge, Mich., a private institution, of which Mr. Glazier was president, closed its doors, As the bank was a private in- stitution and therefore not under the Jurisdiction of the banking commis- sloner it is impossible to secure a statement of its deposits and Te- gources. It is said, however, that the deposits are between $100,000 and $200,000. G. H. Gay, partner with Mr, Glazier in the bank, says he closed its doors for fear that the news of Mr. Glazier’s troubles would start a run and that he expects to pay depositors in full. FIFTEEN HUNDRED OUT. Present Status of Labor Trouble at Duluth. Duluth, Dec. 4—Duluth is now in- volved in a fight for the open shop in the building trades. About 1,500 men have been locked out by the con- tractors. The trouble is the result of the employment of nonunion men by the American Bridge company, which held the contract for the steel work on a new office building, The Build- ing Trades alliance threatened to call out all union men employed on the building. The contractors. anticipated their move and locked out all men who refused to forswear their al- legiance to the alliance. The fight is directed against the alliance rather than the unions and the contractors intend to break up that body if pos- sible, c]mming that it is arbitrary and unfair in its methods. Torrens Law Is Upheld. Denver, Dec. 4.—The supreme court has handed down a decision holding that the Torrens act, passed by the state legislature in 1903, is constitu- tional. The Torrens law provides for the registration of real estate with the county recorder without the for- mality of abstract transfers. A sim- ilar law passed by the legislatures of Massachusetts, Illinois and Minnesota was attacked in the same way in those states, but was finally upheld as constiluticnal. Blow to Sunday Theaters. New York, Dec. 4—The Sunday theater in New York city will be a thing of the past if a decision ren- dered by Justice O'Gorman in the su- preme court is enforced. In a sweep- ing opinion the justice denounced as clear violation of the law every pos- sible form of Sunday stage entertain- ment under whatever title. There is no appeal from this decision and re lief, if any is obtained, must be found in new legislation. VESSEL A- TOTAL LOSS. 8ix Hundred Persons on Board Safely Landed. Halifax, N.

B, with 600 passengers, struck La Have ledges, fifteen miles south of Lunenburg, and may be a total loss. The passengers are being trans- ferred on small steamers and tugs to Bridgewater and it is expected that all hands will be safely landed. ‘When the steamer struck the rocks there was much excitement among the passengers, most of whom are immigrants, and it was some time be- fore Captain Boothby and his officers could cenvince them that they were in no immediate danger. The Mount Temple left Antwerp on Nov. 20 and on the run across ex- perienced much rough weather. The big vessel finally encountered the snow storm, which made it impossible to see a ship’s length ahead. The steamer ran too far to the westward and was fully thirty miles out of her course when she struck the ledges. Four Drowned While Fishing. Savannah, Ga., Dec. 4—A telephone message to the Savannah Press from Mount Pleasant, Ga., says that George Mooney and A. J. Elliott of Atlanta and John Horn and W. F. Hunt of Savannah, all railroad men, were drowned in Altameha river at Mount Pleasant by the capsizing of theiv boat while on a fishing trip. Vessel Escapes From Reef. Spokane, Wash., Dec. 4—The steam. boat Defender, which struck a reef of rocks while crossing Lake Coeur d’Alene, has reached Mica bay with all passengers on board. The steamer grounded on a reef and lay there all night, whistles of distress being un- answered, as no boats dared put out in the dense fog. Easily Turned. A small boy was asked to take din- ner at the home of a distinguished pro- fessor in Princeton. The lad’s mother, in fear lest he should commit some breach of etiquette, gave him repeated directions as to what he should and should not do. Upon his return from the great occa. slon the mother's first question was, “Harold, did you get along at the ta- ble all right?” “Oh, yes, mamma, well enough.” “Are you sure you didn’t do anything that was not perfectly polite and gens tlemanly ?” “Why, no—nothing to speak of.” “Then something did happen. What was 1t?” “But I fixed it all right, mamma.” “Tell me at once.” “Why, I got along pretty well untfl the meat came, but while I was trying to cut mine it slipped off on to the floor. But I made it all right” . “What did you do?” “Oh, I just sald sort of curelenly. ‘That's always the way with tough meat.’ "—Youth’s Companion. 4 ) Want Ads FOR RENTING FA PROPERTY, SELL- ING A BUSINESS OR OBTAINING HELP ARE BEST.
