Not very long ago I had a suit of clothes. It was not @ very fine suit of clothes, but vidual was left calmly sleeping, while the rest of us drove to the mouth of the Eck- hart mine and went to our fate. The Mine Selected. The mine selected is one of the largest in the region, employing some 350 or 400 men when running on full time. The strike, however, had reduced the force to less than 100. All of the mine, however, was there, and not a foot of the tunnel surface had left for other parts, as we found to our sorrow. The opening to the mine was a small affair and had more the look of the doorway to somebody's potato cellar than the entrance to miles and miles of under- ground tunnels. Out of it ran a little truck, with a wire rope between the rails. About this time a big bearded man appeared on the scene a distributed little of! lamps. The miners these affairs in their hats, which doesn't improve the hats, as the leak. We carried ours in our ands. carey is, the rest of them did. I didn’t any at all. I had decided firmly that 1 I was going to stick close by somebody who knew that mine thoroughly and hold his hand if possible. At any rate, if I got lost it didn’t seem probable that any little quarter of a candle power lamp would be of material assistance. The bearded man was the mine boss; his name was Daniel Krapf; Dan, his friends called him, We called him Mr. Krapf while we time trying to find reasons for this strike.” | Down the tunnel we stumbled and walked, past the engine, around corners and through | sidings. Now and then a train of care | would go rumbling up or down. Then the | Tope tracks were left and the tunnel was smaller and you had to walk stooped over. Still there were tracks, and now and then a mule dragging cars would be passed. Sometimes a light would flicker in the dis- tance, disappea. and sparkle out again, as miner loomed up suddenly, his grimy face thrown into strong relief by the little lamp in his hat. Sometimes we went down hill and some- times up hill. Sometimes we splashed through water and mud and again walked on solid ground. The air was pure, being fanned into the mine, but the walls were dirty. Coal, coal was everywhere. The di ferent strata were clearly defined in side walls, the flooring, the lower level, mixed with slate, the breast coal, the up- per strata — the roof coal all glistening, all black, ell representing stored-up energy. Finally we paused to let the stout man catch his breath, and incidentally to hear | about coal formations. “Do you recall,” said Mr. Krapft, “a big “stone house with green shutters and @ yellow door, just out- side of Frostburg? Well, we are now di- rectly under the back which belo.gs to Mr. niiebaih by the roof pressure, and the ceiling itself had an exceedingly wavy look. The stout man took one look and backed out suddenly. Two miners were working in the room in an unconcerned way. One of them was James Weston, a rising yo! politician of Allegany county. Westen plained that a part of the roof had given Way a week or so ago, but that there was ho present danger. “Before there is a cave- in,” said Weston, “you can hear the coal moving for a day or so, usually, of course, the affair comes sometimes. There is al enough time to get out.” It is rather remarkable in this connee- tion that In the history of the Maryland coal fields only one man has been caught in a cave-in. There are also very few ac- cidents, and altogether the miners are an exceedingly healthy lot of people. The doc- tors contract to treat them and their fam- ilies at $12 a head per year. The Mayor of Frostbure. In the room next to Weston the mayor of Frostburg worked. He was, however, up in town attending a meeting of the common council. As we stood a Mr. Krapf spoke: “The mayor,” “works almost directly although, under his house, which is on Green sireet in Frost- own burg.” The mayor, however, to get to work, has to walk two miles to the opening here to college. They were secretly married later, the groom asserting that he was of age. They seperation. but the story of their secret nuptials reached the Lamdins’ ears only recently. The father started for Lin- coin, and the wife followed. A wild chase for the youthful husband followed, but the then it belonged to me, and I felt an affec- tionate interest in its welfare. The suit of clothes and myself came up to this place a few days ago to see the Maryland troops and the striking miners batter each other. At this point we added to ourselves a pair “Ie there any way be getting up?” were down in th ine. Afterws a a ‘ard S| the stout man, with a gleam of hone. called him plain Krapf. He was a good walker and his lump of location was re- markably well developed. The stout mem- ber of the party had an idea up to the last moment that we were to be let down in a bucket or @ car on an elevator or some- dig down into this coal own supply, anyway.” well, if I was Mr. William Sitkins I would coal field and get my ‘The Formation of Coal Mines. of the mine and two miles back in the tun- nels.

They were a real pretty pair of yellow leggings, and barring the fact that there were not quite legs enough to fill them, they were a great suc- cess, and were the envy of both miners and soldiers. Today the suit of clothes is for sale, and no reasonable offer will be re- fused. Don’t let people who want a suit of clothes hesitate because they think their offers are not reasonable. Just send them in anyway; although I may as well state that I will not part with those clothes under 50 certs. They are worth that to burn. As for the leggings, I will give them away, and do it gladly. Their usefulness 3 real pretty yellow leggings has flown y.

It was too late, however, and down we started. Two passages ran out of the mine; one for the cars and the other a footway. From the first start there was no manner of doubt of its beir.g a co2l mine we were invading. Coal was over your head, on your sides and under your feet. The tun- nel went down at a gradual slope and we sloped along behind in single file, with an occasional bump up against the side wall. After about ten minutes’ walk there was @ distant rumble that seemed to shake all tho walls at once. “Is there,” said the stout man, “is there danger of this affair coming in?” “Naw, ’*said Mr. Krapf, “that's some cars coming. ‘Then we leaned up against the wall and waited for the cars. “Do you remember,” said Mr. Krapf, “a —_ white house on the side of the road ‘ou came along? Well, that’s Bill Smit "s house, and you are now just about two hundred ‘feet below the potato patch back of his garden.” Just then the cars came along with a rat- tle and rumble. They were empties going down, and they were making quick time. There are two engines at the mine, one at the mouth and the other three-quarters of @ mile down the shaft. The upper engine hauls the cars up this last slope. Down into the mine from the second engine runs a tail rope one and a half miles long. Fur- ther than this the main slope extends for a@ distance of four and one-half miles from the opening, while innumerable side tunnels and branchings run off in all directions, The cars are hauled from the main line into and out of the tunnels and rooms in which the miners work by mules aad horses, A Pleasant Prospect. All this information was poured into our ears by Mspector McMahon. “Did I under- stand,” said the stout man, “that this tun- nel was four and one-half miles long? Yes? (the stout men sat down) And that we are says to the end of it? Will you kindly the next train going up? No al- lowed to Tide on the cats, too dangers Great heavens, and we have been wasting Then Inspector McMahon explained the reason people did not set up mines of their own in their cellars or back yards. The lan@ for miles around Frostburg, and, in fact, all over the region, is owned by the companies, and under all circumstances they retain control of the titles. They build houses, however, and rent them at low rates and even sell the houses, but never the ground. If a workman desires to build a house for himself he has no trouble in get- ting the ground, for which he pays a nom. inal rent. For an acre or so of ground man will pay 25 cents @ year. Much of the ground is farmed by the companies them- | selves. “Just where we turned into this siding, broke in Mr. Krapf, “we were under the cow shed of George Archibald Mazourka. He has fifty acres of land, for which he pays 40 cents a year. He owned the farm before. The company bought it, with the arrangement that openiee a possession, paying the rent mentioned.” Soon after all this the party were steered into the rooms in which coal was actually | being dug. In mine language they are called rooms, and each pair of miners have an apartment to themselves. The size of the room varies with the length of time that it has been worked. Into each room runs’a track, which is laid by the miners, and this spsce is filled with timbering act- ing as supports for the roof. As has been said, two men work in each room. They extend its walls until the engineer tells them to quit, when a new place is assigned them. In this way the rooms of tunnels are driven until only a pillar of coal is left standing in that especial neighborhood to act as a support. ‘The men do their own timbering and track laying, each empty car as it comes in bringing a few supports, which are put in place as the coal is removed. The miner uses a small pick in getting out the black fuel, commencing with the upper strata and leaving a table, which is re- moved later. His partner loads the coal on the car and in this way, even with the ne- cessity of timbering and laying tracks, two | men can average about ten tons of coal @ day. ” 4 Shaky Appearance. One of the rooms visited presented a de- cidedly shaky appearance. Several of the zh ried the stout man out and put him in the carriage. TC —_——_—_ The California Repablicans. Yesterday afterncon Chairman Myers called the republican state convention to order in Agricultural Hall, at Sacramento, Cal., to nominate a state ticket. In his speech Mr. Myers said the financial depres- sion throughout the country, as wae well known, was due to the mismanagement of the party in power. That party had demon- strated its Inability to govern. As a result the republicans would surely carry the state, and would have a republican ma- | jority in Congress. He said it was the duty of the republican party to bring order out of chaos. The party that saved the country in 1800 can be relied upon to place the country on the highest pedestal among the nations. George A. Knight of San Francisco was then chosen temporary chairman without opposition, and Frank D. Ryan of Sacra- mento, secretary. The selection of tempor- ary officers was followed by the appoint- ment of various committees, after which the convention adjourned until today. so The City’s Safes Levied On. The city treasurer's office at Long Islan@ City is tied up, and all business is suspend- ed for the present. Between 10 and 11 o'clock yesterday morning Deputy Sheriff Louts Walters levied upon the five big safes in the office containing most of the recorés of the city, to satisfy a judgment obtained against the city by Michael Hand. When the deputy sheriff made known his business, Treasurer Fredk. Bleckwenn protested against the seizure, and his clerks tried to prevent Walters from entering the inner office, where the safes and books were. A lively struggle ensued, but the deputy sherif® finally fought his way through cee Fire in a Sern The E.
