Sweeney was drlvlntr alone tho ave

"When In front of the livery stable
Sweeney drew his horses from the east
Bide of tho road and across the tracks,
intending to drive into the stable. The
car rushing alung, struck one horse,
knocking down the animal, and bend
ing the axle of the forward truck.
Tho traces on one side were severed
by tho force of the blow.
Sweeney and his little son were
thrown to the road and tho momentum
of the car pushed the horses along be
tween the tracks. After ten feet the
car was stopped nnd the horses sprung
up uninjured, save for scratches and
bruises, and made a dive for up the
avenue.
The driver, however, quickly recov
ered himself and picking up his son,
carried him to the curb, then ran and
stopped the struggling horses.
The car fender was smashed. Swee

CURIOUS STORIES
FROM VARIOUS MINES
Superstitions of Men Who Work Far
Down In the Earth.
GHOSTS ARE SEEN EVERYWHERE
Superstitions That Aro Common lo
' Kvory i1Iliic--At n .11 1 no in tho
Southern States Thcro In tho Spec
tro ol n I'rctty Little Child.-Indlnn
Girl Shut Up In n California Mlno
by n Discarded Lover.
To tho dwellers in tho surface of the
enrth, who walk abroad in tho sun
shine, tho weird stories told by miners
seem but tho superstitions of Ignorant
men, savs tho Washington Post. Hut
onco descend Into tho black depths
under foot and walk through tho sub
terranean caverns where tho miners
work; listen to tho strange echoes and
whispering sounds that 1111 tho dark
passages, and a change will como over
tho spirit of tho most skeptical man's
dream.
Alone, far underground, amid the si
lence of death, the miner piles his trade.
When lie enters tho shaft ho cannot
tell whether ho will ever ngaln see tho
blue ekv and tho faces that he loves
In the upper world; or whether his will
be ono of tho names In a long list of
the victims of some horrible catas
trophe. Among such unnatural condi
tions the real becomes unreal and tho
unreal real.
Nearly every mine has Its ghosts, Its
propitious days, Its mascots nnd its
"hoodoos." Some of the mines nro
haunted by the spectres of those who
have met their deaths there In former
times, connected with grewsome stories
of awful accidents or violent deeds.
Unlucky days usually have their origin
In a local catastrophe that brought
misery nnd heart-break to many a
home.
At Lord Ponrhyn's slate quarries,
near Hangor, work was always sus
pended upon Ascension Day, on ac
count of the superstitious fear of the
miners, who maintained that if the
quarries were worked on that day an
accident was sure to occur. Upon sev
eral occasions tho management suc
ceeded In overcoming this objection, and
continuing tho men nt their employ
ment, but in every instance tho experi
ment ended In some catastrophe that
served to confirm tho miners In their
belief.
COMMON SUPERSTITIONS.
There nro many superstitions com
mon to all mines and their operations.
For instance, no one must whistle when
once at tho bottom of tho shaft. You
may sing ns much as you wish, but
whistle never unless you intend to
Incur the severe displeasure of the
miners. Again, it would be the ex
treme of reckless madness to make tho
sign of tho cross while underground.
Tho death's hand Is universally cred
ited by the miners. This wraith con
sists of a white hand that takes hold
of tho runes of the ladder one after
another as tho hand of tho descending
miner leaves them. The spectral hand
gleams white from blackness around as
tho light from tho "Davy" falls upon It,
and he who Is unfortunate enough to
be followed by It knows that his days',
perhaps his minutes, aro numbered.
Most miners have their own particu
lar ghost stories, founded upon local
tradition, or sometimes upon real oc
currences. In one of tho Welsh coun
ties Is a mine, deserted some time ago,
that Is haunted by a woman's voice.
Tho whv und wherefore is explained
ns follows: Once when the place was
owned by a great company that em
ployed manv men, one of the passages
caved In. Tho people camo running to
tho mouth of the shaft, each calling for
his own. It was at first supposed that
many men were below and that all had
escaped. The cars came up full, and
the women, wild with joy, flung their
arms around tho necks of their re
stored husbands, lovers, sons.
"All safe above ground, thank God!"
cried the overseer.
Then tho overseer's wife, a handsome,
strapping woman, stopped forward.
"Whore Is Hort?" she said.
Now, Bert was her foii from a former
husband, and tho overseer wasted little
love upon the lad. One man suddenly
remembered to have seen him at tho
end of tho wrecked passage a short
time before the accident. Everybody
turned pale and looked anxiously at the
dark mouth of the shaft, but no man
volunteered to go to the rescue.
CALLED THEM COWARDS.
The overseer's wife looked stricken
to death; in a moment all life, nil Joy
had disappeared from her face; but
hrr voice was strong and clear as she
en Id:
"I will go down In the car."
Tho men looked at her in silence.
"lou cowards," she cried, "can't you
even get tho car ready? May you be
deserted and left to die alone when
your time comes."
Two of the miners stepped up to the
shaft's mouth and she started toward
them; but her husband placed himself
In her path. "You fool," ho said, "It is
certain death to go down there now.
No human being could breathe .the
foul gases that fill that mine. The boy
Is dead now; do you think I am going
to let you throw your life away for
nothing."
"Stand away and let me pass," eho
answered, nnd then, ns he did not
obey, stoe It does not sound womanly,
I know, but she was a muscular wo
man nnd acknowledged no master but
love she knocked him down.
A minute later she entered tho car
and was lowered into tho shaft. She
never camo up alive. Tho miners at
work thereafter could hear her voice
calling through the different passages
tho name of her son, "Bert, Bert, my
eon!"
There Is a. huunted mine at White
haven, England. An overseer was dis
charged and a nisw one brought on.
The former bitterly hated tho man
who supplanted him, but ho kept his
enmity locked In his own breast and
taught tho new man his work with
apparent cheerfulness. Ono day, with
wicked cunning, tho old overseer led
his successor to a passage whoro he
knew flro damp to exist. A terrible ex
plosion, In which both men wero killed,
was the consequence. Ever since the
mlno has been haunted by .the voices
of tho two men In angry controversy,
followed by tho muffed sound of ancx
plosion. SPECTER OF,A CHILD.
In ono of the Southern States la an
old disused mine In which, it Is said,
may bo seen the specter of a pretty
little child. Tho father of the little
fellow was angry at tho mother and to
be revenged ho took away tho child
and hid It In the old shaft. Ho wtnt
regularly to feed the little one, but one
day while rldlnsr he fell from hla hone
and broke his neck, So the poor boy
was left to dl and his little ghout p-
MR, HARRY BROOKS,
Ills Own Lxporlenco nnd That ot Ills
Vllc--Viiliinblo nnd Interesting.
Mr. Harry Urcoks, a well known onct
vnluablo cltlzon of .New York city, has
parsed through an experlcnco which,
while, it may not bo unuttunl, 1b nono tho
less valuable, nnd is thero given here
with. "Somo years no I was run down by
over-exertion and completely exhausted.
I was nt a loss what to do, but llnally
began tho uso of Duffy's l'uro Malt
Whiskey. A trial completely renovated
my system. I am not n drinking man,
and after being restored I stopped using
this valuable stimulant.
"Itut In tho past year I have been po
weak that I havo had to return to tho
uso of this grand remedy, and I am proud
to Bny, with good result. I havo used,
but not abused Duffy's l'uro Malt
Whiskey, and it certainly Is a grand suc-
CCJS.
"My wit was a short tlmo ago taken
with la grippe, and her physician, Dr.
Kcrln of this city, asked If wo had any
good whiskey in tho house, It so, to glvo
her somo at night. Sho had not slept for
two nights. I gave her somo of DulTy's
Malt. Sho went to sleep and slept for livo

pears to whoever enters the mine a
pretty 3-year-old boy, with curling
gnl'ipii hair.
Another mine that was made a pris
on for the Innocent Is to be found In
California. A beautiful Indian girl was
shut up In nn old, disused shaft by n,
discarded lover. He left bread nnd
water enough to last for a few days,
after which she was doomed to slow
starvation. Travelers passing by tho
lonely mlno nt night hear a woman's
volo calling for food and water. At
first It sounds clear nnd shrill with
agony, and then becomes weaker nnd
weaker, until It dies away In a feeble
wall.
Conwall Is full of mining supersti
tions, ns Is natural since that is tho
only occupation of tho people, with
tlv exception of fishing.
There Is a public house In that coun
ty with this sign: "Como all good
Cornish boys, walk In. Here's brandy,
rum nnd shrub nnd gin. You can't do
less than drink success to copper, flsh
and tin."
If on his way to work one of tho
miners passes a snail, ho always
leaves him a small part of everything
he Is carrying for his own lunch, In
return for which attention tho little
creature Is supposed to protect him
from accident and to bring him good
luck.
At tho mouth of almost every shaft
Is fastened a horseshoe, and as the
miner descends he never falls to touch
his hand to the mascot, after which
he feels that he Is' safe for that day,
at least.
Tho Cornish miners sav that wh'en
Noah's Hood went Into the rea it flowed
from east to west, violently breaking
up the rocks and tearing down the
trees In .Its course. To prove the as
sertion they point out the direction in
which tho great rocka lie In tho mine
and say that they frequently come
across trees extended from east to
west.
One Cornish mine is haunted by a
white rabbit. This specter Invariably
foretells misfortune. Sometimes the
little creature Jumps upon the miner's
shoulder, and tho he Is surely a doomed
man.
Many are the storlss told of warnings
glve.i to miners Just before the occur
rence of some catastrophe. Ono man
was railed three times. At the third
summons ho threw down his pick and
went to see what was wanted. He had
barely moved from his former position
when nn enormous rock fell that would
Inevitably have crushed him had he re
mained. Ono of the great burning mlnesls

did thi wicked work is seen, when tho

lie Is enveloped In flame and rises
sh'rleklns from tho ground, pursued by
the spirits of those who lost their lives
through his evil uct.
The miners In the emerald mines at

cent butterflies peculiar to that local
ity are the spirits of tho mlnos nnd ob
tain their 'brilliant green color by feed
ing on tho emeralds.
A MAGIC CIRCLE.
The Tndlan3 call Roralna "the rd
rocked light mountain." They claim
that It is surrounded by a magic circle
within which no stranger may set foot
without danger from the demons which
are set to guard tho Immense treasure
concealed in the interior of tho moun
tain. On stormy nights, when light
ning flashes, tho demons dance. They
take the form of beautiful women,
dressed In white, and their eyes aro
livlns emeralds.
How strangely matter of course wo
are! When do wo ever think what toll,
what pain has been exDendod In the
productions of nny one of the articles
of our dajly uso? Take, for instance, a
little lump of black coal. Lives may
have been sacrificed, hearts broken, in
bringing it from tho dark home in the
bosom of tho earth to tho light of tho
upper world. And all for what? To
go up tho chimney in smoke; to fall, a
handful of ashes from the grate. Tho

FIRE IS NOT
YET EXTINGUISHED
Discovery That Coal Is on Fire In (he
Von Slorch Mine.
FJVB OF THE VICTIMS BURIED
I'lincrnls Were Attended by Largo
Concourses of .Sorrowing Friends.
Tho liody of .Mo run Wns Homo to
Hyde Park Cntliollc Cemetery in
tho Morning. -Other Funerals Took
1'lnco in tho Afternoon.
Burning coal was discovered yester
day morning in the Von Storch mine
by a gang of workmen who were en
gaged in clearing away tho debris of
Saturday's disaster. Tho Diamond
vein In tho vicinity of the plnace where
the flro Is supposed to havo started
was found to bo red-hot and glowing
for a space nf twenty feet and at sev
eral points small patches of coal had
become Ignited. The work of master
ing this new danger was begun at once.
A twin hoso was attached to the
three-Inch water pipes running down
tho slooo from tho breaker to the foot
and during all of yesterday the burn
ing parts were flooded with water.
Last night the work had been so effect
ively dono that tho fire was under fair
control.
The gang of flre-flghters experienced
not a little danirer in the work. The
sulphurous gases from the smoulder
ing mineral could be detected In tho
greater portion of tho mine. Precau
tionary methods to prevent a possible
repetition of the Jerm.vn, No. 1, mlno
horror several weeks ago, by which
five men lost their lives, were adopted
by tho superintendent of tho colliery,
Flnlay Ross.
CLEARING UP DEBRIS.
The work of restoration nfter the
great fire was somewhat retarded yes
terday becauso of the new danger.
Nevertheless, great headway was made
In clearing away the debris. It is es
timated that 3,000 car loads or dirt from
the falls In the mlno must be removed.
Tho dirt Is being dumped nlong tho
left bank of tho river. Already a heap
of slate and rock and coal, 300 feet
long, twelve feet high and fifteen feet
wide has been banked up. This track
Is being extended as the mass accumu
lates. Two gangs of men are at work
on tho debris ono in the mine and ono
outsido receiving tho loaded cars on
the plane and sending down "empties."
Another gang is engaged in erecting
new pillars where old ones were burned
out. On the grounds about tho breaker
several massive piles of huge tree
trunks aro scattered nbout. It Is
thought that the work will bo com
pleted In two weeks' time.
Chief of tho Fire Department P. J.
Hlckey visited the mine yesterday and
offered tho services of the department
In the work of fighting the burning
coal. It is not likely that the depart
ment will be called upon to assist.
Six hundred feet of city hoso Is still In
use in tho mine.
Chief Hlckey yesterday secured the
"safety lamp" of tho dead flro boss,
Thomas Hill, as a memento of the ex
citing catastrophe. The lamp, which
was found where the dead bodies lay
on the Diamond plane, shows the ef
fect of the Intense heat to which the
poor fellows were subjected. The gauge
of the Iamo was melted so that the
metal was formed into a solid sheet.
FUNERALS OF VICTIMS.
Yesterday, while men Hero falling
and men were rising in n battle of life,
five coftina were laid away in five new
made jrraves and another chapter in
the history of coal mine catastrophes
that of the Von Storch mine horror
was concluded. The liody of John Far
rell, the flxth victim, w.13 burled in
Hyde Park Catholic cemetery Monday.
Yesterday Themes Hill, the fire boss;
John McDonald, company hand: Thom
as Padden, company hand; John
Walsh, company hand, and John Fran

to the eternal sleep, so terribly begun.
The funeral concourses in every In

In the morning nt JO o'clock the fu
