hio Valley gas company has boon lay
ing gas mains in the lowu of New
Cumberland,W. Vs., Tuesday night
the work was finished and preparations
made to test the large ;mains. Before
testing it was necessary to heat the
pipes in order to make it fit a curve
leading to the river. While this was
being done and the white pipe was at a
white heat some oue accidentally turn
ed on the gas. When the gas reached
the spot a terrific explosion occurred
scattering the huge iron main iu all di
rections, and tearing a la-ge lute in
the ground. The gas, which was let
into the pipe at a pressure of 100
pounds, immediately took fiie and
hunted to the height if t*ety feet.

LIABLE TO RELAPSE.
Condition of Crown Prince Frederick
William's Health.
BERLIN, May 26. The RiicJis An
zetger gives the following account of
Prince Frederick William's illness :
In January last bis imperial highness
was seized with an inflammatory af
fection of the throat of which the out
ward indications were a slight cough
and an intense hoarseness. His symp
toms refused to yield under the reme
dies previously applied with success In
similar attacks. The course of treat
ment of the several weeks at Ems,
though most beneficial to the crown
prince's general health, failed to re
move the local affection. The me lical
authorities called toconsult with a body
of physicians agreed that the English
specialist, Dr. Mackenzie, be asked to
give an opinion. Dr. Mackenzie, after
several exaninations, found thepriuce's
condition not so serions as to debar tbe
hope that the trouble might be remov
ed, with proper treatment, in the
course of time, Tho tone of this state
ment was less assuring than had been
expected and cast a gloom over official
circles. Dr. Mackenzie operated with
laryngeal forceps and successfully re
moved tbe foreign growth from the
prince's throat, but tbe prince remains
iiaole to a relapse of a tumor in a
worse form.
Fatal Explosion of Fire Damp at
Xanticoke.
Nanticoke, Pa., May 26.— A few
mfnates before noon to-day a terrible
accident occurred in that terribly fatal
mine known as No.l slope of the Sns
quehanna coal company here. It is the
same mine in which twenty-six men
and boys were imprisoned on the ISth
of December, 1865, and whose lifeless
bodies still lie there]mouldering 800 feet
beneath the surface. John Cjsgrove
has for many years been an employe qf
the Susquehanna coal company, and
lately has been engaged as a miner in
No. 1 slope. This morniug, in compa
ny with his laborer, a Polinder named
Joseph Zoloski, be entered his chamber
as usual. It was then noticed that a
quantity of gas was present, but as it
was not an unusual quart tity, and as it
coutiuued to cliDg close to the roof, far
out of reach of the lamp of the work
men, nothing was thought of the cir
cumstance. Later iu the morning a
brattice-man named James Sheehan
was placed at work at the entrance to
Coegrove's chamber fixing brattices and
patting up props. All went well until
the hour named, when it is supposed,
the carpenter's improvements iu some
way changed the air currents, dividing
the volume of gas and causing it to de
scend until it came in contact with the
naked lamps of the miner and bis la
borer. Quicker than thought a terrible
explosion followed, carrying destruc
tion in its path, Cosgroye, Zoloski and
Sheshan were burled against the slid
ings and horribly bruised, as well as
burned almost beyond recognition. For
tunately the explosion didnot extend to
the main gangway, and therefore did
not seriously affect the adjoining cham
bers, in which scores of men were at
work. The shock was felt, however, in
all parts of the mine, and dozens of
miners ranto the scene the of accident.
The prostrate forms the three men who
had been injured were found lying on
the ground and were tenderly lifted up
on cars and taken from the mine. They
were then covered with cotton and ea
closed in blankets aud conveyed to
their homes. The news of the acci
dent had preceded them, and upon
their arrival there was much weeping
and wailing. It is stated that Cosgrove
and his laborer cannot live, but there
some chance for Sheehan. John Cos
grove is a married man, about 45 years
tbe father of several
children. Sheeman is also married
and has a family. The Polish is about
28 years of age, and has bean a resident
of Nanticoke for about seven years.
He is unmarried. The accident has
created great excitement in the town.
A DIPLOM A l"S PLAINT.
The Worries Experienced by Our
Jiepreseiilollves In Foreign Lands.
•Only old men, or those who have
pawed beyond the meridian of life, and
who do not think of pursuing business
vocations, ought to go into the diplo
matic or consular service,' said the
Hon. Rufus Magee, of Indiana, now
Minister to Sweden and Norway, to a
Washington correspondent. 'While
the service gives one a great deal of in
teresting experience and information,
it gives him nothing that he can utilize
in the practical work of life. It unfits
him for any kind of business, and after
a season abroad he returns to his native
country, lost to the avenues of useful
ness. Had I known before I entered
the diplomatic {service what, it really
was, I should not have entered it. But
I am now in it, have had two years of
it, and intend to serve out my term.
'lt is absolutely impossible for a Min
ister or Consul to get ahead .financially,
in the service, if lie keeps up the popu
larity of his post, ami has any respect
for the dignity of the position ho occu
pies. it doson't make any difference
what his salary is. The more salary he
draws the greater the dignity of his of.
tlce, the more his expenses and the
same results financially. Our Minister
to Belgium, who draws a salary of $7,-
500, tells me he pays $25,000 to live
there. Belgium is a very expensive
couulry to live in. Then the people in
the diplomatic and consular service
have to pay from twenty-five to forty
per cent, more for what they get than
anybody else
'Mv landlord charges me more than
anybody else, and when I go into the
market or send any one the dealers as
certain that it is for an American that
the purchases are made and put up the
prices. They believe we are made of
gold, and it is impossible to make them
know wo care for prices.
'Recently I went into a store in
Sweden and asked the price of some
articles. When they were named I re
fused to buy, saying the prices were too
high. The merchant looked at me in
credulously a moment aud then ex
claimed ;
4 'What! An American care for the
price ! Wny, an American has plenty
of mouey and lie dosen't care for price.'
'ln most parts of the world it is be
lieved that WJ are veritable money
kings, ana they won't believe anything
else. Minister Phelps, who is at the
Court of St. James, gets $17,500 a year,
but I am told bis ltviuir costs him a
a great deal more,and that being a com
paratively poor man, he will leave the
office with no mouey. Tne representa
tives of all the countries at uiy post re
ceive, I believe, more salary and con
tingent appropriation than I do. The
tendency of our foreign service is to re
strict representation to men of wealth
and men who are not in the young vigor
of life. Only those who are very
wealthy and who can afford to spend
twice or thrice their salary, or are too
old to care for the activeness of life and
are oblivious to loss of bu;incss identity
in their native couutry, can afford to
enter the service.
'I do not look beyond the two years
of oflieial life allotted to me, but I
should be glad to see Congress elevate
the standard of the foreign service by
showing a degree of liberality. If 'Con
gress knew how necessary these expens
es were to the maintenance of the
standing of representatives, it would
unhesitatingly come to the rescue.'
A Cadet's Assurance.
Sometimes when the oflensts of ca
dets are very flagrant court maitials
are called to try them. These are com
posed of army oflicers, who sit in trial
like judge and jury when the offender
is in civil, instead of military life.
These court martials are often very
funny. Once there was a youngster
who had acted so perfectly outrageous
ly that he knew lie would be dismissed
at the approaching examination, so he
determined to have a good time before
he left. On the grounds was an old
disused shed of some kind, and in it
young hopeful piled all the shavings,
rags and everything else combustible
he could get, and one fine night he set
a match to it and had a magnificent
bonfire of his own. Of course suspicion
pointed to him, and a court of inquiry
was organized to investigate the out
rage. General Thayer was superin
tendent and Colonel Fry commandant
of cadets. When the prisoner was call
ed up for examination before the court,
composed of oflicers of high rank, im
posing in the majesty of the law, he
was asked to state what he knew about
the fire.
'I—I don't know anything myself but
what is hearsay testimony, and you
won't admit that,' he replied.
| 'The court does not desire your views
on hearsay testimony,'severely remark
ed the prosecutor. 'You are directed
to state what may have come to your
knowledge regarding the affair.'
'Well, but,' objected the culprit, 'I
don't know anything about it,and what
I heard I don't believe.'
'The court.sir,' thundered the officer,
'has not inquired into your belief. You
will immediately state what you heard.'
'But—but you don't believe me, eith
er.'
lty that time the court was in a rage.
•Go on, sir,' roared several oflicers to
gether.
'Well, they do say,' stammered the
cadet diffidently, 'that General Thayer
got the shavings and old Fry set 'em a
dre.' — Phila. Tunes.

The Wonderous SStory of a Hellish
Columbia Tribe.
The coast line of British Columbia
extends nearly six hundred miles be
tween Alaska on the north and Wash
ington Territory oil the south. At the
northern point of this lino is Fort Simp
| son, an old post of the Hudson Bay
company. To this fort a young Kng
lishman went thirty years ago, with the
1 apparently chimerical purpose of Chris
tianizing the savage trila-s whose huts
clustered alio .t tliu neighborhood. He
' learned their language, took up his a
liode among them, and as the result of
1 his teaching ar.d influence there sprung
up near by a new Indian village which
has become the most important settle
| mont upon that entire coast.
The visitor to-day finds their streets
of commodious and well-built houses, a
; sawmill and salomn cannery, a school
house, town hall and, dominating them
all, a got hie church, seating 1200—all
these the result of the toil of the Tsim
shean Indians. The very name of this
town. Metlakatlda,lias become a house
hold word among many of the churches
of England and Scotland as one of the
most conspicuous triumphs of Christian
missions. Its influence, moreover, has
affected all the I rites for hundreds of
miles up and down the coast. The
English missionary, remaining a lay
man, became magistrate for a wide ter
ritory—governed wisely, kept liquor
away from the tribes and fostered re
munerative industries among them.
A great reverse, however, lias fallen
upon this community. The province
of British Columbia, in order to secure
the utmost Advantage from the sale of
lauds on the line of the promised Cana
dian Pacific Railroad, has decided that
j the Indians have no rights iu the land.
At one blow the results of tlie long
years of selt-saci ifice and toil of the
Metlakathla Indians have been doomed.
Their title to houses, gardens, church,
town hall, iudustiial plant—everything
1 —is undermined. Looking over tho
forest-clad hills of Alaska, which are
iu sight from their town, it occurred to
1 them that the United States might af
ford them a justice which was rutl less
i ly denied them ill the land of their fore
| fathers.
Their missionary recently came on to
j Washington, and having received ar
t bora live assurances that his Indians
might have privileges of settlement and
ownership iu Alaska identical to those
granted to white men, he nro|>oses that
j he and they shall become Americans.
Their village is to be dismantled,their
homes torn down, their tilled gardens
deserted, and once more they are to be
gin, iu a virgin wilderness sixty miles
away, at Port Chester, the laborous
task of a new town. The natives of
Alaska, who are warmly disposed to
wards the Tsimsheans, welcome their
proposed advent, and may be thankful
that so vigorous and elevating an influ
ence is to reach the thirty thousand In
dians of our vast Noi thjvest domain.—

The Doctor's Advice.
A true stcry is told of an old New
Hampshire doctor, who was one day
consulted by a man suffering from
rheumatism. The physician gave him
copious advice, and ended with direc
tions so concisely put up as to be easily
memorized.
"Avoid dampness," he said.
"Yes, sir."
"Keep warm; keep youi feet dry, and
remember what I've said about flan
nels."
"Yes, sir."
"Take the medicine with absolute
regularity. Here is the prescription."
The man expressed his thanks, paid
his fee and took his leave. As he reach
ed the door the doctor called : "Oh,
by the way, if any of these things help
you, just give mo a call and tell me.

Tho Kfl'ort "f Washington Life on
Congressmen's Wives.
Some or the members of the Fiftieth
Congress have been here with their
wives, to select boarding plans, sa\s
Ben l'erley Moore, iu one of bis recent
Washington letters. I never see the
wife of a newly-elected Congressman
come here without a feeling of pity for
her. At her home, she was a worthy
moman, who did much to secure her
husband's election by her |>opular man
ners and her good heart. To her it was
a great thing to become the wife of a
member of Congress; but on arriving
here she found that she had only taken
the lirst step towards social distinction.
It was nt.t long before a change com
menced. From a modest lady, iu a
plain black silk aud smooth irown
locks, she burst into nu ornamental
gown of light satin, loaded with le;:ds,
which was not high enough in the neck
by three inches, and her head had in
front a mass of frizzles, which hid her
broad brow, and made lu*r look like :>n
idiot or a Shetland pony. Before her
diamond-decked lingers had Ken out o!
the domestic dish-water long enough
for their knuckles to recover from their
greasy odor of parboiling, she roue a
bout iu her hired coujie, and gave her
orders to the coachman iu a fault-find
ing tone. Her days became a round of
ceaseless, mcauingltss toadyism, pro
claimed by the women writers as fash
iouable.and her nights were.wild revels,
with champaigne, ■ oysters, Howe s,
punch, lost temper aiul bitter disap
pointments. Now. her husband has
not been re-elected. She must return
to her little vi'lage, to mope and pine,
and make herself generally disagree
able, but, as she drops out of life here,
not a ripple on the tide of fashionable
society will show where she has gone
down. The wheels of folly roll round
forever, and the wifo of the new mem
ber will, in her turn, take the place of
the one that has gone.
Metropolitan Funerals.
The poor of New York are the most
extravagant people in the world in the
management of their funerals, writes
Blakely Ilall. When a death occuts
the hawks descend upon the house in
Hocks. The richest undertakers are in
the tenement house distiicts, and they
have agents and wires innumerable.
Many of them count their fortunes in
six figures, though they live in squalor
and apparent poverty. They own liyery
stables, grog shops and tenement hous
es, and every tenant, employe and polit
ical "heeler" is expected to work for
the undertaker who patronizes him.
The manufacture of mottoes, wreaths,
shrouds, texts and other catchpenny
devices, that hang upon the human
woe, are in close accord with the under
taker.
They extend their lines across the
river and out to Calvary cemetery, on
the outskirts of Brooklyn. Here the
tenement house dead are buried, cofiin
on top of coffin, till as many as six
bodies rest in one grave. All along tie
dusty road to the graveyard are rum
shops and beer saloons—mere specula
Hons on the part of the undertakers.
Up town it is the custom to conduct
funerals with extraordinary privacy,
and when the ceremony can be perform
ed in a country house, the dead is cor.
veyed out of town without any formali
ties at all. The one idea of poor New
York is to make a show of the dead,
while rich New York abhors it.
