IN CONVENTIO: Its Methods a Achievements Giving Political Managers Much Concern. From the New York Sun. NEW HAVEN, September 27.—The cau- cuses for the nomination of town officers, to be voted for at the annual town elections on next Monday, are being held this week in every town In the state, and the strength and power of the American Protective Asso- ciation developed in them is not only aston- ishing, but alarming to the leaders of the old parties. This is noticeably so in the re- pub'ican caucuses, the managers of the ma- chirie for many years being cast ruthlessly aside by the efforts of the members of the ALP. A. One conspicuous example of this was the opposition to R. Jay Walsh in the Green- wich republican caucus last night. He is one of the leading and bright young repub- licans of the state; was secretary of state when Morgan G. Bulkeley was governor, is at present judge of a criminal court and president of the local bank. He has been the controlling political spirit in Green- wich for ten years, and any candidate he favored was almost as good as elected. Yet in the caucus last night he found that his power in republican caucuses was on the wane. The members of the A. P. A. had decided on the candidates and nominated (All over the state the same conditions have prevailed and the professional politi- cians are troubled and seeking some meth- ods to destroy or weaken the power of the A.

Death of Joseph E. Potts. Mr. Joseph E. Potts, one of the oldest clerks in the Navy Department, died at his residence in this city yesterday afternoon. Mr. Potts had been in the Navy Depart- ment twenty years, and was regarded as cne of the most competent clerks there. His duties were in connection with the dis- bursing office, and were very responsible, THE ROOF GAVE WAY Two Miners and Two Laborers Buried Underneath. TERRIBLE DISASTER IN A COAL MINE Collapse of the Gangway Without Warning. A DRIVER’S NARROW ESCAPE SCRANTON, Pa., September 28.—Two m‘ners and two laborers were killed in the northwest colliery of Simpson & Watkins,at Simpson, near Carbondale, late yesterday evening. Their mangled remains lie be- neath a fal! of rock, which is ten feet wide, six feet high and extends for at least sixty feet in the gangway off the third slope of the mine. The killed are: Wm. B. Mitchell, miner, aged forty-two years, leaves a wife and six children; John J. Fannig, miner, aged forty- three years, single. Andrew Clapkosky, laborer, aged thirty-five, single. George Barney, laborer, aged twenty-eight, single. Tvg Wiltz, a driver, was the only witness of the horror. He was sitting alongside the track waiting for a car to be loaded by the ill-fated men, when without warning the root of the gangway fell in within three feet of him. Without halting he ran to the head of the slope and gave the alarm. It is feared the bodies of the entombed men cannot be reached for several days. ——_—— GREEN ON THE MOO) Why He Thinks It is Vegetatio: CHICAGO, September 28.--Before a com- pany of twenty-five or more friends and neighbors, who met at his residence last night, Louls Gathmann exhibited a model of his sectional lens telescope. He also answered the objections made by Astrono- mers Hale and Burnham to his announce- ment that he had discovered what seemed to be signs of vegetation on the moon. In answer to the objection that astron- omers with excellent teleseopes had never seen a green spot on the moon, Mr. Gath- mann said: “There can be but two rea- sons for this fact. First, no first-class telescopes were in use for making observa- tions the night I saw the spot. Second, if observations were made the telescopes were inferior to mine.” Mr. Gathmann said his sectional lens had been examined by Prof. Colbert, who said it had excellent definition and would prove of great interest to the whole scientific world. Many eminent engineers had pro- nounced the sectional lens instrument su- perior to any instrument of the same size. “A 20-inch built-up lens,” Mr. Gathmann said, ‘with a clear glass of even density, will be equal in power to any telescope that has a forty-inch solid lens.” He then spoke of his observation of a green spot on the moon as foliows: “About 9 o’clock on the evening of Au- gust 12, in sweeping with my telescope over the face of the moon, I saw a spot of vivid green in the midst of mountains in the valley of Sinus Roris. Green is a color hitherto unknown to me among the shades ot the moon. I thought there might be an error somewhere and changed the eye- piece six times. It was there each time— a well-defined space of green. The idea of it being an error of the telescope is out of the question, because when allowing the moon to pass through the whole field of the glass the strange spot kept stationary on the moon with every magnifying power used. Seven persons besides myself saw it, and it is not to be suspected that all of us were color blind. ‘If Luna has a flora it must be far dif- ferent from ours, because the conditions on the moon are vastly different from tnose of our earth. Science has not progressed so far as to determine the atmosphere pre- vailing on the moon. In fact, all the ele- ments of the earth's atmosphere are not positively known. To say that vegeiation cannot exist on such a large planet is to make an assertion which cannot be proved. That Luna should be without animal life I cannot understand. On earth, in the arctic region, where the cold is intense the year round, we find the polar bear, the whale and other animals suited to the cli- mate and the conditions. If men had never known of the existence of these animals, and if we common men were asked if such animals could exist there, we would say ‘we do not know.’ But most scientific men graduated from our universities would simply say ‘no,’ because if scientific men did not know of their existence they would conclude that such animals could not ex- ist there. That there Is vegetation on the moon is highly probable, but it does not follow that the color should be green. The greenish tint- observed August 12 may have been a rare exception.” In conclusion, Mr. Gathmann said he be- lieved the inhabitants of Mars were making signals to the earth, and he thought com- munication between neighboring planets by means of signals would eventually be established. —— Marine Band Concert.

From the Louisville Commercial. “Well, sir, said a well-known Main street man, “I had an embarrassing ex- perience this morning. I invariably sleep until the very last moment, and then make a rush for the breakfast table and the car. This morning I had but five minutes to get through eating and catch the car that pass- ed my door. I fairly choked things down my throat, and, hearing the clang of the motorman’s bell, I made a rush for the street. As I passed through the hall I snatched a broad-brimmed straw hat that was hanging on the rack, and just reached the corner in time. Then I dropped into a seat and took the morning paper from my pocket. reat was not long until I heard a gentle tittering from some dry gvods clerks in the seats behind me. They kept it up, and somehow I got an idea into my head that they were laughing at me. After a while I turned fiercely to one of them and asked what it was that seemed to amuse them so. He trembled and managed to gasp out that I had on my wife's hat. It was even so, and there was one of those Iong, gaudy, yellow pins that women use to keep their headgear in position sticking in it. I was so mad that I jerked it off and threw it into the street. Then everybody in the car roared, and I felt truly furlous. When I reached a hat store I stepped in and bought me a hat of the masculine variety. “Several hours afterward my wife dropped in the store, and she was wearing my hat. There was a pin in the back of it and a little face veil swinging from the front, but it was my hat. I didn’t say a_word, and that woman is wearing it yet. What both- ers me is that everybody found out the joke ou me and nobody noticed it on her.” —s ‘Tuesda night a reception was tendered the American Public Health Association at Montreal, at which Lieut. Gov. Chapleau presided. 2 AGUNY OF - SUFFOCATION Experionce of » Diver Who Narrowly Es- caped Death. is Accomplished Only After Several Hours of Persistent Work on the Part of the Doctors. Resuscitation A few nights ago'l read an article on re- suscitation in The Star. This recalled to my memory a case which might be of in- terest to the public. Had in this instance, however, Dr. H., to whose persistent efforts the principal in this narrative owes his fe, been less tenacious in his purpose and abandoned hope after an hour's futile at- tempt, as suggested by the article above referred to, the result would have been different indeed. The Sylvester method of artificial respiration was employed, but its successful termination was due to its most strenuous application during a period of several hours. The U. 8S. 8S. “Iroquois”—a sister ship to the “Kearsarge,” and who, like the latter, became famous during the war, as a most successful blockade runner—had found her field of usefulness in the Pacific, as a mem- ber of the Pacific squadron. She was anchored in the harbor of Pago- Pago, Samoa, and the time was the close of the year ‘91. Her bottom had become foul from the prolific marine growth in those waters. There being no dock facilities, the slower and much less thorough course of scraping her bottom by divers had to be re- sorted to. ‘The ship was supplied with a diving ap- paratus, and had among her crew two men, the armorer and the gunner’s mate, well trained in that work. Upon them, then, the task of freeing the ship from its extra expediment to speed devolved. Work had been progressing steadily, and the task Was nearing its completion, when this ac- cident, which arrested all further progress, happened. Communication between the diver at work and his assistants in the boat is es- tablished by a series of signals, transmit- ted through a life line. To observe the lat- ter intelligently is of no less importance than the steady and constant turning of the air-pump wheel. That these matters are attended to or superintended by a com- petent person is of the greatest necessity, as the well beirg, and even the life of the submerged diver, is dependent thereupon. So it had become the established custom that while one of the trained divers was at work below. the other was in charge of the boat and apparatus. The Signal Was Not Heeded. At the time in question P., the armorer, was busy scraping barnacles, mussels, etc., while H., the gunrer’s mate, was in charge of the air pump. Everything worked well. The men at the wheel had become quite well conversant with their duties, and there was apparently no reason to anticipate such a calamity as shortly after ensued. The officer of the deck had set men to work among the ordnance stores of the ship. These stores, to a certain extent, are under the immediate charge of the gunner’s mate. It became necessary to call upon the latter for certain information. He left the boat in compliance with’ a request, but not un- til after having given such further instruc- tions as he deemed advisable. Had they been diligently observed all would have been well. However, he was goné but a very short while when it was noticed that the coil of the life line had almost entirely paid out. This, of course, wags a sure indication that the diver who was at the other end of it was, instead of being immediately under the bottom of the ‘ship, at the bottom of the bay. Without further loss of time the line was hauled in, and P. was dragged into the boat, where ff the meantime Drs. H. and S., as also myse?f, had arrived. D. had been asphyxiated, ‘and presented no signs of life whatever. He was taken on board, and then followed what was prob- ably one of the greatest efforts on record at resuscitation. The doctors at once set to work, but only after a lapse of sevetal hours were there in- dications that our labér had not been in vain. It was 11 a. m. when D. was first subjected to a process of artificial respira- tion, but the afternoon was well advanced when life had returned to such an extent that he could be transferred to a cot, In the cabin, which the captain most willingly placed at our disposal for the occasion. D., however, presented a horrible sight, his head had almost doubled in size, and had a conical shape, with the base at the chin. The face had assumed a bluish biack luster and was so greatly swollen that the nose was almost hidden from view. The eyes, as a matter of course, were firmly closed, and demained thus for several days after. Suffocation seemed repeatedly imminent and instruments had to be kept near at hand for severai days following to perform tracheotomy. However, due to the greatest care and precaution, constantly exercised, the patient, after many weeks, fully recov- ered. ‘When some days after the accident the facial swelling had so far subsided that the patient was able to open his eyes, they gave the face an utterly uncanny expres- sion, through their entire discoloration into black and red, both of intensest hue. The Diver's Story. D., although well advanced in years, is still in the service, on board one of the new vessels as electrician, but will never more don a diving suit. Uncle Sam has not money enough to offer as an inducement to change his mind; so he told me. His experiences during these few moments at the bottom of Pago-Pago bay and the circumstances attending his descent he ex- plained in the following manner: Having just finished cleaning such portion of the ship's bottom as he was able to reach from his suspended scaffold, he signaled to be drawn up, to have the scaffold shifted. Ex- pecting the customary prompt reply from above he stepped off the scaffold in antici- pation of being immediateiy hoisted. But instead he went down and down. The depth of the bay averages about forty fathoms (240 feet). Going down the faint daylight which penetrates the surface wa- ter to a depth of about six or seven fathoms Was soon superseded by utter darkaess. The air became exhausted, and an agony of pending suffocation made the moments of torture beggaring description. He seemed to live his whole life over, during those mo- ments. Finally he touched bottom before his descent was arrested. The rapid descent and the rapidly increas- ing pressure of the volume of water above him rendered the action of the air pump useless. The rubber tubing which serves to convey the air was so thoroughly flattened by the water pressure that it utterly failed in its purpose. With the agonizing knowledge of being buried alive most acute he finally lost con- sciousness, and the following hours are a blank in his memory: This, then, illustrates a case in which resuscitation by the application of artificial respiration proved succegsful, but only be- cause the sperators did not ‘abandon their efforts when after more than an_ hour's manipulation success séemed still more than doubttul. ee Words of Wisdom. From the Ram's Horn. Religion is like Tmaacle? if we do not use it we will lose it. The man who would bea leader must be the first to start. There are some fish that the devil can catch with a bare hook. A fool soon shows that he has an empty head by the questions he. asks. Our size in heaven will depend upon how Much we weigh for God on earth. There are good sermons in stones for the man who can read God's handwriting. ‘The moment we listen to a doubt we be- gin a conversation with the devil. It would bankrupt heaven for angels to go in company that some church pillars consider geod. Putting screens in the saloon doors ts one of the devil's ways of trying to hide his cloven hoof. ces A Mother's Suicide. An empty baby carriage, to which was tied a letter, was found on the bank of the lake at Tolerton’s Park, at Salem, Ohio, last evening and aroused the suspicion of the authorities. One hundred men went to work dredging the bottom. Two bodies were finally recovered, and proved to be those of Mrs. Charles Hunt and infant daughter. The child was strapped to tis mother’s breast. Family troubles are sup- posed to be the cause of the suicide. BREWING BEER Germans Are Making Experiments With Indian Corn. EXCELLENT RESULTS ARE EXPECTED Steady Increase of the Use of American Products Abroad. WINE AND BRANDY TRADE ee eee The Department of Agriculture is watch- ing with great interest for the results of experiments in Germany with Indian corn in the making of beer. It is said that over half as much corn as barley is used in this country by brewers. A great brewing school at Berlin is now making experiments with Indian corn, and the official report of the authorities upon them is looked for with interest. The reports from the de- partment’s agent indicate that the experi- ments are proving successful, and that the beer from the maize is well liked by the Germans. The German laws are stringent about regulating brewing, and require the use of barley, so that it was necessary to get a special permit for the use of the corn even at this brewing school, which is an institution to which are sent the sons of wealthy brewers who are to succeed to that business in all parts of Germany. Several brews with Indian corr. have already been made there. The German laws regulating brewing materials, as well as the agrarian movement in Germany and the protective duties, are drawbacks to extending the use of corn for brewing in that country. In Denmark there are not these difficulties to contend with, and the outlook for extended use of corn in brewing is better. The same is true in Holland and Belgium. In these countries the corn has been found to give satisfaction to the brewers— so much so that they have ordered second consignments of corn at their own expense. Extensively Used in England. In England there is already quite an ex- tensive use of corn in beermaking, with prospects of an increase. The outlook for the use of corn meal in place of rye bread in Germany is not very flattering, partly on account of the present high price of corn, The head of the German health de- partment has, however, made official an- neuncement that in years when rye is searce and high-priced Indian corn meal is Te best material to mix with it to cheapen ‘tne department has some very encourag- ing accounts of the growth of consumption and increased favor of American wines abroad. A catalogue received from a prom: inent wine dealer in London gives a list of places in England where California wines are sold. The list includes some of the leading hotels and clubs in London. A member of the firm was sent to the world's fair by the British government to report on American wines. His report has not yet been made. The firm's trade mark is a “big tree,” and a recent printing order for lithograph work designed to advertise these Wares cost $12,000, This gentleman when in this country Med upon G. W. Hill, chief of the divi- sion of records and editing at the Depart- ment of Agriculture, and expressed his amazement that it was difficult to get American wines at leading hotels in this country, and that American hotel keepers and wine dealers were inclined to dis- credit these native products. This En- glishman also expressed the conviction that the dependence of the world in the fu- ture for brandy grapes would have to be on this country. Germans Like California Brandy. During the year the German military au- thorities have contracted for the military supply of brandy with California compa- nies. The order fs for nearly 200,000 gallons. California wines are also beginning to at- tract attention in Denmark, Holland and Belgium. One difficulty in introducing American wines tnto Europe is that there wine dealers are accustomed to a year's credit, while American dealers are loath to grant more than sixty days. American wine makers have not yet learned the se- eret of caring for their product while it is aging. As a result the foreign dealers buy it while it is new and hold it while it is aging, which requires that capital be kept locked up a long time. At the Antwerp exposition the jury of awards had adjourn- ed before the exhibit of California wines arrived, but was reconvened to pass upon them, and voted them a gold medal. While the cruiser Chicago was in Eng- land the agent of the Agricultural Depart- ment sent a case of California wines to Admiral Erwin. At one of the many din- ners given to English officials of high sta- tion on board the Chicago these wines were upon the table and elicited many encomiums from the guests. ——— SAGE’S FOREIGN TRIP. The Millionaire Looks Favorably on the Cheap Steerage Rates. From the Philadelphia Press. About two weeks ago it was stated pri- vately that Mr. Sage had determined to go abroad and when there began to be circu- lated statements that the object of his trip was to bring back George Gould Mr. Sage himself said that he had no inten- tion of visiting Europe at all. Now these stories are again going the rounds of Wall street. If he really goes there will be no end of curiosity as to the reasons for his departure. It ts sald that the million- aire will not make the tour at all unless he is able to take advantage of cheap steerage rates. However, you can go abroad now for $10, so the financier should not let that interfere with his trip if he wants to make it. Mr. Sage has begun to grow that beard of his orce more. He has a curious way now of letting it grow for a week and then appearing on the street smooth shaven. He looks far handsomer without his facial hirsute adornment than with it, but assuming that the magnate shaves himself and that the job takes five min- utes every such operation costs $12. That is rather a high price for any man to pay for a_ shave, even if he be as rich as Rus- sell Sage, and, of course, he would not allow any such amount to be thrown away in that manner. Hence his apparent uncer- tainty as to whether he should wear a beard or not. ——e0e A Profitable Com!
