PITTSBURG, Pa., Dec. 2%3.—The Stockdale Company, with offices in this city, has re- ceived a report from Braznell that six bodies have been recovered from the mine where tha explosion occurred this morning, and that 4 men were still in the mine, A. W. Peterson, County Treasurer of Yankton County, S. D., fled from the city of Yankton after a shortage in his ac- counts had been discovered. He came to St. Louis, and weary of try- ing to elude officers of the law, whom he believed to be pursuing him, he took his own life by plunging into the Mississippi River. Friday morning George Mullen and John Stark, deckhands on the ferryboat Alonzo Cc. Church, saw a black object floating near the shore on the St. Louis side at the foot of Valentine street. They grappled it and drew it to the boat. It was the body of a man ,apparently 32 years old, It was well clad, and a glance showed the river men that the man was far above the social condition of those who usully s@¢ek surcease from worldly troubles by drowning. It had been in the water apparently only a very short time. ed made a target of.

Mrs. Midd struggiin time, a J. A. Middleton, Assistant General Freight — Agent of the ’Frisco Railroad, lies at his | home, 6735 Mitchell avenue, with a bullet wound in his right side. inflicted early this morning by a burglar. The wound is not serious, though it fs painful and may cause the victim to fre- main an invalid for several weeks. Mr. Middleton had an encounter with the burglar immediately following his wound, which, were it reproduced on the stage, would be considered by the critics-as too melodramatic. It was a fight as flerce /as any fight to the death, with Mrs. Middle. ton roughly seized and forced to act as the shield behind which the burglar took refuge. a There were other features of the hand- to-hand duel and exchange of pistol shots quite as theatrical, the plucky Mrs. Middle- ton herself appearing in the role of heroine who defies pistols to go to the aid of her a a pistol husband. -~ heard the nates one ms re ; sl mpeety ®. Hill mine disaster at Dunbar. The explosion was terrifiCc and was heard plainly at Brownsville, three miles distant. The main shaft was totally wrecked and rendered helpless. About four cages of men had gone down to work, Mr. Thomas, the cage- man, on his fourth trip, went to the bottom with 14 men and gave the signal for the cage to rise when the explosion occurred. The Cage was blown with terrific force to the top of the shaft and fell back to the bot- tom, completely blocking access to the mine. Timbers were hurled hundreds of feet; the lower ring of brick work in the airshaft was completely wrecked and had to be tunnelled to get into the mine at all. Eleven men have been gotten out. One, Al- bert Meese, aged 14, died after reaching the air. One hand, a foot and shoe were blown from the mine and found on top of the shaft. After tunnelling the wreckage at the bottom of the air shaft two men in the un- derground mule stable were found alive, but almost suffocated from bad air. The mine is supposed to be on fire, as a dense vol- ume of smoke hinders the entrance of the rescue parties into the mine. Mine Inspector Henry Louttit of Monon- gahela is on the ground, as is also Mr. Sed- don of the Albany mine and 8S. H. Pearsall and James I. Thornton of the Kob Coal Works. Drs. Smith, Reichard and Shoemak- er of Brownsville are there ready to relieve the suffering. One man of the rescue party Went to the bottom of the airshaft and was brought up by a rope almost dead, so there is little hope for the 40 or 00 men yet in the mine. The machinery is in such shape that fan cannot be worked, which prevents forcing fresh air to the entombed men. Volumes of bad air and smoke are issuing from the mine. The work of rescue is necessarily slow, as the rescuers have to dig their way into the men, so great was the force of the expio- gion. A thousand people gathered about the mouth of the mine, awaiting anxiousiy any bit of news that may come from below, and wives, fathers, mothers and children w ng for loved ones, make many pa- thetic scenes. One year ago, just the day before Chirstmas, a number were killed in the Umpire mines and again many homes will be saddened on Christmas day under similar circumstances. ———— The Braznell mine is a new been opened one year . e regular crew is 160 men and it is stated at the company’s offices in Pittsburg that a full crew was to have gone to work to-day.

Frank Herbert of the team of Caron and Herbert, comic acrobats at the Columbia Theater this week, was fleeced out of sev- eral hundred dollars and a diamond ring Friday night. Thomas O'Connor and a man named Wil- son are undeg arrest. Charles Finley, who, Herbert says, got the ring, cannot be found by the police. After the performance Herbert went downtown. In a saloon he met O'Connor, known to him as “Fatty.’’ They had been with the same circus years ago. O’Connor introduced Herbert to Finley and Wilson. Finley was supposed to be the son of a Toledo, O., brewer, here for pleasure, Herbert says after the first drink Wilson proposed matching half-dollars. Herbert de- murred, but Finiey went into the game. Wilson and he matched for some time, gradually raising the stake to $25 a ‘throw. Herbert says Wilson quietly asked h.m to oin in fleecing Finley. He says he refused, ut consented to — the game if it was on the “‘square.’’ Wilson, Herbert says, passed him $2, saying that he did not want to see him lose any money. It was then ar- ranged that Herbert was always to turn heads and Wilson would turn tails, the odd man to get the stake. Herbert followed his part of the agree- ment, and he says the other two fixed the game so that he could not win. The stake went up to $100, and finally to $200. Wiison won steadily, and it was not until the $200 mark was reached that Finley took in any money. The bet before that Herbert paid with his ring, a fine South American dia- mond, valued gt $400. It was passed over to Finley when he won the . It was agreed that Herbert should redeem the ring Saturday morning. After this had been arranged the four men went to a Turkish bathhouse, intend- ing to pass the night. While in the bath Herbert says the conviction came to him that he had been fleeced and would not get his ring as agreed. He slipped out and tel- ephoned police headquarters, When the de- tectives arrived Wilson and O'Connor were arrested. Finley could not be found. Her- bert passed all Saturday morning with a detective looking for Finley, but in vain. Herbert left the city Saturday afternoon, going to St. Paul. He says he will not prosecute the men under arrest. = Two weeks ago he was robbed of $0 in a Turkish bath in Chicago.

LANDON, Dec. 3.—A fact which may be @afely inferred from the admiralty reports wwe I te meee — | yn ; can only 8 battalions of the Fifth arrive in South Africa, are ivision, as they ivided between er, some going others to De Aar. This seems a clear indication that Gen. Me- thuen will hold his ground at Modder River and not retreat to Orange River leaving Kimberley to its fate. he moral effect of such a retreat would be exceed- ingly bad, since it would be a confession of failure of one of the st objects of Buller’s campaign with the army corps. Military men now assert that if Gen. Methuen’s retirement had been contem- plated all the re-enforcements arriving at Cape Town would have been hurried for- ward to Natal, to complete the work of relieving Ladysmith, since they would not have been needed at De Aar or Belmont. They also venture to assume that Modder River will be made a second base for ulti- mate operations across the country to Blomfontein when the auxillary set meng. rte with mule train and carts, shall have n organized. This, however, is poaching upon Lord Roberts’ rights. He will doubtless plan his own campaign after he assumes cominand. It is generally understood, from hints dropped at the War Office, that he has declined to assume any responsibility for the campaign until his arrival on the ground, and that he has not embarrassed in. Buller with ony suggestions or advice from London. uller will have a free hand uhti] Lord Roberts reaches Cape gba do ane will then command the troops n Natal. There was no apparent lack of Boer am- munition either at Magersfontein or Col- enso or Stormberg, and whatever dela there has been in replying to the Britis artillery is explained too easily by the strategy and admirable tactics of the Dutch in concealin their positions until they could unmask them with deadly effect. Verification of these Paris rumors is less important than accurate information re- specting the canty with which military supplies can be landed. The Delagoa Bay door seems to be ajar, if not wide open. A. prominent Englishman remarked. yesterday that it would have been better if the British Government had allowed the Transvaal to acquire Delagoa Bay instead of o slau its purchase, for in that case the British fleet could have blockaded the bay and the army landed. HAY HAS A DIFFICULT TASK He Will Represent England as Well as the United States in the Capital of the Boers. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. Copyright, 1899, by Press Publishing Company. LONDON, Dec. 23.—‘All that I have said to any press representative concerning my duty in Pretoria,’’ remarked United States Consul Adelbert Hay to the Post-Dispatch correspondent to-day, ““‘was that every rec- ognized consular privilege and courtesy will be exerted in behalf of English pris- oners and English interests by me as rep- resenting the United States. That is sim- ply what one friendly country always does for another in behalf for which it is act- ing. ‘‘Has the mystery of Mr. Macrum’s res- ignation as consul been solved yet?’ the correspondent inquired. “‘No,”’ replied Mr. Hay. ‘“T can only imagine a solution. Perhaps owing to the great expense of living in Pretoria now he found the financial strain too serious. Be- sides, Mr. Macrum has business in the United States which he probably desires to look after. Moreover, his wife is with him, which may have had something to do with his retirement. These are only mere surmises,’’ “You doubtless have had all manner of requests from relatives vr the British pris- oners?’’ “Yes,’’ rejoined Mr. Hay. “They want me to take various parcels to them, but I take letters. A consul’s privi- leges are clearly defined in that respect.’ “Do you anticipate an exciting time and that you may ultimately be besieged in Pretoria?’ ‘Yes, it may come to that. desire now is to get on the spot as quickly as possible. If when I arrive at Cape Town —about. Jan. 17—I find it slower or impos- sible to get across the country, I shall go at once to Lorenzo Marques.” If Consul Hay were able to take all the eases of clothes and eatables tendered to him by relatives of British prisoners he would almost require a transport train of his cwn. He is holding a continuous recep- tion at the Embassy of the wives, sisters and brothers of prisoners, to whom he courteously explains the limitations of his privileges in that respect.

Winston Churchill, the Post-Dispatch’s war corre- @pondent, who was captured by the Boers, has arrived safely at Lorenzo Marques, Africa.

ROME, Dec. 2.—According to latest ad- vices received here of the disaster which occurred yesterday at Amalfi, on the Gulf of Salerno, the old Capuchin Monastery and — _——_ -_- —- —- -_- -_- ween eee cn ee eee tle — ee ee killed. About 2 o’clock an enormous rock, upon the Cappuccini Hotel, slid bodily into the sea with a deafening roar and without a moment’s warning, carry- ing with ft the hotel, the old Capuchin Mon- astery below, the Hotel Santa Calerina and several villas. Many people were buried in the debris, which crushed four vessels to the bottom of the sea aes ge their crews. The mass of earth which slipped was about 60,000 cubic yards. The population is in a state of terr>r. fearing fresh calamities.. Troops have ar- rived upon the scene and begun rescue work. It is believed that the loss of life in- cludes a number of monks and oceupants of the hotel. The Gulf of Salerno is the next door neighbor of the Bay of Naples and they are sO near together that people are rowed from one to the other. Time was when Amalfi was an important seaport, the rival of Genoa and Pisa, with 50,000 people, most of whom were ready to fight. Now it has but 7 inhabitants and the principal occupations are the manufacture . of paper, soap and macaroni. The chief incomes are derived from tourists. | Amalfi was important as far back as the. sixth century, when it was under the pro- tection of Eastern Emperors. Afterwards it became an independent state and car- ried on war’ with much vigor with neigh- boring principalities, The sea bégan to undermine the lower part of the town in the twelfth century, and in 1343 there was a terrible inundation. It was in Amalfi that Flavio Gioja invented | the mariner’s compass in 1302. The town is situated at the entrance of | a deep ravine, surrounded by imposing mountains and rocks of the most pictur- | — forms, he Cappucini Hotel was formerly a mon- astery. it stood high up on the mountain side in the hollow of a great rock.

To the herolo work of Father Andrews and the Sisters is due the fact that the list of the dead is no larger. Last night Father Andrew suffered a complete col- lapse, although he was not dangerously burned. S.ster Theoatama, painfully burned about the hands, face and neck, piteously prays for the victims of the flames and their 2 ye genet arents, wholly forgetting er own condition. She had charge of the entertainment, and no one else knew the names of the children taking part in it, and as her conditiog is such that her phy- sician will allow no one to see her, ft was with difficulty that the names of the dead and injured were learned. She had a list of the children taking part in the enter- tainment, numbering about 50 in all. This list, the trustees of the school, cut into sections, sending word to the homes of the various children at supper time. As the children were found they were checked off. Those not found at their homes were either located at the hospitals or at the morgue. A peoullarly pathetic scene was that pre- @ented by Little Bernardina Freund, who ran down the stairs with nearly all of her clothing burned off and threw herself into the arms of a man, crying: “T am Bertle Freund."’ ot another word was uttered by her, and the man gentiy lowered her lifeless body to the ftoor. The disaster occurred about 3 o'clock. In the hall at the time were between 500 and 600 pupiis of the school and a number of children from St. Aloysius’ Orphan Asy- lum, which is situated near-by.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.—President Mc- Kinley will next fall duplicate, if not sur- pass the famous campaigning ‘tour of Ben- jamin Harrison. His present plans are to cover the entire country. The President assured Senator Perkins of California that he would accompany the delegation to Congress from that State to witness the launching of the new battle- ship Ohio at San Francisco. This vessel is being built by the Union Iron Works. and will be ready for the water in Septem- ber or October. It is expected that this visit to the Pa- cific coast will be in its chief feature a pro- tracted rear-end speech-making tour. he party will probably go over the Northern route, and return by. the Southern lines through New Orleans and other gulf cities. Thus the South and West will be covered in a journey of 10,000 miles. Before making this trip the President. it is said, will be given an opportunity to visit New England and New York. In this man- ner, without appearance of actual cam- paigning, he will be enabled to perform ar- vous misionary work in every section of the Union.

CHICAGO, Dec. 23.—Mise Mabel Powell, a Chicago millionaire’s daughter, took pois- on yesterday morning and died, after a night’s carousal in a notorious Clark street resort in company with Mrs. C. H. Wells, a Cincinnati widow, and two young men. She left ‘her mother’s home a few days ago, saying she wanted “a short life and a merry one.’’ Many facts in the case are being withheld in order to avoid involving several prominent families.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.—The Treasury Bureau of Statistica has prepared a tabu- lated statement reiative to the world’s.seu- gar production, in which it is shown that two-thirds of the entire product comes from beets. An interesting fact brought in this statement is that the sugar pro- ducing area of the world hae in less than half a century been shifted from the trop- ics northward, and the farmer of the tem- perate zone has shown his ability not only to compete with the low-priced labor of the as yes but in doing so to reduce by one-half the cost of the article produced. Prior to 1871-2 the world’s production of beet sugar had never reached 1,000,000 tons; in the present crop year it is, according to latest estimates, 5,5'0,000 tons, while the cane suger Crom which in 1871-2 was 1,599,- 000 tons, is in the present year 2,934,000 tons. Thus cane sugar production hag scarcely doubled during the period under considera- tion, while that from beets has more than quintupled. The price has fallen more than one-half, the average cost in foreign countries of all sugar imported into the United States in the fiscal year 1872 being 5.37c per pound, and in 1899 2.398¢ per pound, No development of the world’s produc- tion of food stuffs has been more rapid or striking than that with reference to beet sugar. In 1854-5 the total beet sugar cro of the world was but "182,000 tone; by 1864- it had reached 636,000 tons; in 1874-5 it was 1,219,000 tongs; in 1884-56, 2,545,000 tons; in 18%- 6, 4,792,793 tons, and in 1899-1900, 5,510,000 tons. In 1854-5 beet sugar formed 13 per cent of the world’s total sugar crop, and in 1899-1900 it formed 66 per cent. ~——- tl ee nn te et ae si, ie tee aetna” nt rn ee ens el DOISON Primary, Secoadary er You can be t py Co.

Dwight L. Moody, the evangelist who died last Friday, was @® successful man in the best sense of that term. In his last moments he was heard to say, “I have always been an ambitious man, not to lay up wealth, but to find work to do.”’ This is the key to his career. Mr. Moody loved to work and, by natural inclination, chose a calling which had “no money in it.” But he believed there was something better than money to be had for hard work, and he freely gave his life to what he loved bert. Ie not this the better part? To do what one loves best to @0, obscurely, perhaps, and without worldly reward—is not this a worthy ambition, so the thing done be worthy? + -~ Mr. Moody received recognition for his ability and disinter- ested service, but he did not make such recognition the price of his efforts. Whatever may be thought of his doctrines, his ideal of life was pure and human. rr.

' He has called the Legislature together once more to enact - Yegisiation which shall distribute the burden of taxation more equitably. Especially is it desirable to make the railroads ‘pay their just share. ' This is not the first time the Governor of Michigan has tried to compel such action. But the railroads have been too strong for him. The Legislature seems determined to gerve the roads rather than the people, whom they repre- gent or misrepresent. The Governor has been defeated hith- o. Whether he will have better luck this time is very | tful. Shall the Government control the railroads or the railroads control the Government? This question must be answered. ‘It the great transportation interests are not amenable to the laws and cannot be brought to terms by ordinary means, will not the people be forced to resort to extreme measures?

Of the three reasons given for this state of things by Mr. Butler, the third is most conducive of hope for the future. He gives as reasons the increase in our army, the general * @emand for labor, and the improved treatment of prisoners, including the indeterminate or “good conduct” sentence. The first two conditions are only temporary in their ope- re We may cut down the army and the demand for abor may diminish. The third condition can be continued nd made even more productive of good. . _ The fact that humane treatment of the criminally inclined crime should stimulate legislators, reformers and greater efforts in thie direction.

We have not got anything out of our Ha. wailan imperial experiment, while it has added to our ex- penses, i i The stupidity of the Administration has lost to us the lives of many brave men, and it has caused us a ruinous expendi- ture of money, hut these facts do not for a moment remove our moral obligations in the matter of the Philippines. In- deed, they should be considered additional reasons for an honorable policy. The German agrarians are demanding a high tariff on farm products. If American prosperity has been brought about by our high tariff, a German high tariff will certainly increase German prosperity. And what a volume of pros. perity there will be when all countries make their tariffs exorbitant! ae —— The exercise of common sense would keep either Germany, the United States or Great Britain from becoming hammer or anvil. It would be absurd for Christian nations to pound one another at any time in the new century. Has reason abdi- cated in favor of force as the moving spirit of civilized na- tions? 3 +o ——_—__—___—_—— Mr. McKinley may not be craving merely a second term. By corrupting tie civil service and using the added patronage of our benevolently assimilated territory, why should he not have a machine that would insure him a third term? Would he not like very much to be “a biger man than Grant?” Citizens of Great Britain with the honor and decency to con. demn the foolish and disastrous war upon the Boers are de- nounced by the British jingoes quite as coarsely as reflecting citizens of the United States are reviled for thinking that the Philippine folly should have been prevented. Stories of British bravery in South Africa are doubtless true, but the Dutch are as brave as the Britons, and they fight just as persistently. The war should be stopped before there are any more sacrifices of brave men on either side. a A "=. The idle gabbie of benefits to the South through the Philip- pine folly is as absurd as the rest of the imperialistic rot that is being talked. Even if it were true, the South could not afford to set aside justice for pecuniary gain. We are not only taxed’to keep up a most unholy war upon a weak people, but to further enrich the very rich New York bank that is making use of the Administration in its busi- ness. =] ‘ rv The incompetency of the British War Office is a great com- fort to Secretary Alger.

During His Trip East He Visited Several Cities in the Interest of League’s Only Rivals. Special to the Post-Dispatch. CHICAGO, Dec. B.—Capt. A. C. Anson, the grand old man of baseball, has re- turned from his tour east itn the interest of the new American Association of Base- ball Clubs. He appeared in wonderfully good humor and says that his trip was a success in every way. t. Anson is a very conservative man, and he has never until to-day been willing to even talk seriously of the prospects of the new American Association. At his bil- liard room this morning he, for the firs, time, declared himself. Surveying his immense establishment he oa pointing to the big business he was ng: “I would look well wouldn't I deserting this place to accept a paltry salary from the National League, or a job as manager of the Philadelphia Olub. “But the baseball knockers have reported me as going to do that. The pounding they given me and the new league would illed off any other business scheme on earth. “But has it resulted that way?’ “*"Look back to the beginning of this move- ment and bees make note of the fact that the new American Association, since the day of its birth, has not taken a single backward step. “The clubs that were with it at the be- nning are with it now, and there have en additions to the ranks.”’ **"What are the additions?” a friend asked. “The movement,”’ replied Anson, “was or- iginally atarted in the West. At our first meeting only St. Louis, Chicago and Mil- waukee were represented. Later, Detroit came:in. Now Philadelphia, Boston end New York are in line and there is another Eastern city knocking at the door. Should the National League drop Washington or Baltimore, we will take one of those cities; but if the League holds them, we will go elsewhere. We could, if we like, organ- ize a ten-club circuit, for Louisville, in the West, is ready and anxious to join us. The new association is now in fact on a firm and substantial footing.” “What about the three-club movement of the National League to head off yours?’ the veteran was asked. “It will not work. It hag been tried be- fore and was a failure. The public in Chi- cago would look on the Western League team that Comiskey talks of putting in here as simply an understudy for the Na- tional ee organization and would not go to see it. “My team will be an out and out rival of the Hart-Spalding aggregation and both teams will have their legitimate following. ithin the next few days we will meet and complete our plans for the season of 1900. There is no special hurry about this. Years ago we never commenced e work of or- ganizing a league until March. We will not wait until then, however, but will com- plete our organization sometime in Janu- ary.” _——— WITH THE BOXERS. | The Jeffries-Sharkey Fight Pictures to Be Shown Here Sunday. ®t.

Forbes did what several! good men have tried to do, fight McGovern to a standstill] in the first couple of rounds. MeoGovern did what he has done so often before, proved himself a mixer of the first class and put Forbes out in the second round, after a very lively exchange of blows between the two. The fight proved that only one of the little fellows has a chance against McGovern. hat one is George Dixon, the little chocolate colored coon.

C(IMCTORB). 6. cece cece eeeees ‘ decréase)........ ee tos" The bulls had a turn for the first time in ‘pome days on ’Change in New York Sat- ‘urday, and they made the most of it. In consequence, the list is now from 1 to 5 points above the close of Friday, and even Sugar is a little to the good. And it is a merrier Christmas to the dealer in stocks than it has promised to be since the bear movement began. There Were several causes for the rise. One was the strength shown in London; an- other was the expected good bank state- ment, and a third was a rush to cover on the part of the bears, right at the opening. The rally before the ‘close Friday had sent the list up, some to the highest of the day, and at the start the bears had to do gome lively scrambling to get even with themselves, The opening, in consequence, was well up; the market was decidedly strong, and the tendency nearly all day was upward. The opening prices were from 1 to even 3 or more above the high close of with railroads and Steels in the , except that Sugar had 5 to the good. Federal Steel issues were up 2 on the open- ing, and they gained 1@2 in the short ses- sion. T. C. I, went up 4 in the first hour. New York tractions were stronger, open- ing 2 higher, and gaining some. People’s had 3 to the fore on the opening, and it put 1 more there soon after. American Tobacco opened up 2 and gained that ~ ow ! more; Brooklyn pid Transit opened 3 higher and gained 2, and North- western varied the monotony bjystart!l yz 1 lower, but regaining it. ar was very erratic, and after opening 6 higher seemed to lose its start, dropping — were regained, only to be lost ain he bank statement, while good, had been Overestimated, and when it was issued stocks slumped some. New York tractions went to their openings; People’s Gas went below its start; railroads held best, and outside Sugar. the other drops were fraction- al. Sugar went below the opening, and SOF pg only a little above the close of riday But, counting the high opening, tne day ‘was decidedly a bull one, and the list goes over, the Christmas holiday at better fig- ures than anyone expected, These opinions came to St. Louls brokers: To Wasserman: Atwood & Kuhnemunat: Market taking on more confident tone. We belleve C. & O., Sugar, Atchison preferred, ¥F. 8. and Leather common a purchase for good profits. Private: You should not buy any long stocks at all. It is a great temptation to buy for a turn and I thought the otier oy! that this could be done, but it is not safe. Keep out of the market or sell short on every rally Chester B.

Unless something else of a bad nature occurs, and I don’t see how it can, I think we have seen the worst. This has been by far the longest and most severe liquidation that I have seen in 20 years. Stocks went up without any reaction of moment far too high. The decline has been equally severe and unwarranted. It a rare chance to ‘make money.
