Horner Makes Narrow Escape of Being Barted Alive, How one may walk into danger when he is seeking safety is well illus- trated by an experience had by Messre, John H. Horner and John Jordan, of Colyer, on their way home from the Brisbin & Company saw mill, east of Old Fort, Thursday evening of last week, The workmen took a near cut from the saw mill to their home, and in doing so crossed ono of the flelds on the farm of Deputy Bheriff James B. Rtrohm, at Centre Hill, tenanted by ‘William M. Sweeney, They were walking along leisurely when they observed that the earth had fallen in for a considerable space. This created some curiosity on their part, and they discussed the safety of going to the edge and taking a peep into the pit. Mr. Jordan insisted on investigating, while Mr. Horner proclaimed his in. tentions to keep clear of all danger, and acting with this motive made a contour of the sink, While Mr. Jordan. was making a hasty inspection of the sunken earth, he was attracted by an exclamation of borror, and on looking up saw Mr, Horner struggling to extricate himself from the sinking esrth beneath him, for as he was avoiding the dangers of one pit he fell into another. The earth looked good to Mr, Horner to walk on, but as he did suddenly his one foot sank into the earth, and before he could recover his balance Lis one leg thrust its length into a seemingly bottomless cavern. He threw himself upon the ground, and finally was able to draw his limb from the shifting foundation, and it was his luck that the surrounding earth bore him up. This experience made him more brave, and with his companion the newly formed opening was thorough- ly examined, when it was found th st the earth had sunk for about twenty feet, and the walls were almost per- pendicular. After shaking themselves to find oul whether they were really safe and sound, they continued their journey homeward. — som si ims soon: Newspaper Man Dead, Mondsy morning, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. E. B. O'Reilly, in Lock Haven, Joseph W. Furey, died after an illness extending over » period of several years, Mr. Furey was a son William Furey, and was born at Pleasant Gap. He learned the printing trade in Jersey Shore, and jg 1859 he and Robert Baker went to Decatur, Alabama, snd engaged in newspaper work. Be fore the war broke out both young men came North, and for a time Mr. Furey was engaged in the Govern ment printing office in Washington In 1867 the deceased and W. P. Furey became the editors and proprietors of the Clinton Democrat, and later hi became associate editor of the Demo. cratic Watchman. Io 1888 he again moved to Lock Haven and for four years was editor of the Clinton Demo- crat. Iilness obliged him to remain indoors for nearly all the time since the early nineties. During the great er part of this time he was able to read and write, and always kept well posted on current events. Mr. Furey, as a newspaper writer, possessed a peculiar form of origins! ity which was refreshing. He also possessed a fertile mind, aud his wit and humor were almost limitless, a er Kev, Deitzoll to Become Teacher At a meeting of citizens of Gregg township beld Baturday night it was decided to secure Rev. 8, H.

H. F. Rossman, of Bpring Mills, under date of March 11, Prof. John G Rossman, an instructor in a private training cotlege, at Btuttgart, Arkan- 8as, describes the terrible destruction of a storm which struck Brinkly, Ar- kansas, The letter follows : Never before and I hope never again must I see such a sight as I witnessed last night in Brinkly, Arkansas, All day Monday the heat was op- pressive and the air forebode trouble, and about 6 30 p. m. a very high wind burst upon us, carrying hail and rain, The dormitory girls almost went wild, many of them being on the verge of bysteries, but all paseed over, and a few broken window lightyand broken down fences was all that our town suffered. Tuesday's reports came that Brin kly, a town of 2500 inhabitants and situ- ated thirty-five miles north of Stutt- gart, had been in the path of the storm. We were able to learn little, as wires were down and people who came from there c uld not describe it. Yesterday shortly after dinner I got a notion to go and sea, so Prof, Staley consented to go along. We dismissed our classes and wont to the station in time to catch the 208 train. [I shall never regret or forget the trip. At the station news had arrived to the effect that the town under martial government and that as #8 people cume into the town were arrested and put to work. decided that it was a mere bluf! keep people from visiting and wanted pictures and wé went, arrived there about 4 30 p. m.

As near as we could find wind approached about 6.40, coming from the southwest, the general di- rection of tornadoes. It was at the time when people had returned from their work and fortunately few were on the street, Most of Lhem were eat- ing their suppers, giving little thought to the elements. Accompanyiog the wind was a heavy downpour of rain and hall. Sud. denly a terrific noise was heard and then the lights were no more. Dark- ness followed and the terrible agonizing shrieks of women and ehil- dren. Rain slone came to their aid extinguishing the fires and incre asing the sgony. Few knew what had hap pened. Possibly thirty-seven per cent. of the balldings can be repaired, The others will as 8 whole make good kindling wood. During our entire stay of six hours I did not see an undamaged bailding. Even box cars had the roofs torn off or were upset. The entire main street is one great mass of debris, beneath which may be more than one corpse. A path wide enough had been cat there in order to allow wegons to pass one way. But one chureh re- mains standing, Brick struciures suf- fered most ; in some places the entire front tins been torn AWAY, at other places the entire house was taken, leaving only one room.

Horses, catile and even then were runniog to snd fro, not knowing where or how or to whom they belong. The place where we ate had been a hotel where you find only the parti- tions of the dining room and kitchen, and we walked through a break in the side of the wall about 15 by 22 feet. No one knows the number of killed or wounded. The most conservative esti- mate puts the dead st 30 and the wounded at 65, while others make the loss ss high as 40 dead and 400 wounded, From a comparative financial view few disasters in recent years can com. pare with this. Itis the most disas- trons thing that has ever befallen Arkansas, On the other hand, the loss of life is very small. The time of theday may be one resson, and the rain immediately doing away with any serious fire and thus keeping down the jogs. The Btate militia owns the town and It is under martial law. They de not, however, interfere with one's sight- seeing, providing you keep on the move. Last night two cattle car loads of ponyicts came in, who will todsy try to get some order out af the chaos.
