An Awful Aeoldentln the Lake 8upr

A mine casualty without parallel In th
snnals In the niinln f in Justry In 'M coun
try If not the worio, occur re 1 at Mansfl bl,
the only producer of llessetner ore in the
Crystal Falls mining district, and located
Mi miles from Crystal Falls City, Mich., at
0 o'clock Friday night The nine raved In
from the top to the bottom, burying 28
workmen and entailing a loss of 0X),0O0.
The Mansfield shafts are located .on the
west bank of the Michlgamme river and the
working levels of the mine ran directly un
der the stream and parallel with it for
distance of several hundred feet. The tint
level was 33 leet elow the bottom of the
river, and the lower levels, five In ntimbrr,
ran parallel to the lirst, the bottom being
415s leet below the surface of the water. Tbe
live upper levels have been sloped ont in
the progress of the work leaving only tim
bers ami pi lar of ore to bear the mighty
weight of the Moors of ore above.
'1 be accident Is supposed to have been
caused by the glvii way of the timbers on
the fifth level, allowing those above to
follow, and ai lust tbe river to pour in upon
tbe men.
Alter the cave in the river bed below
tbe mine was dry for an hour and 40
minutes.
The names of the drowned miners are '
Samuel Frier. James Strongman, W. It.
nerve, Charles I'ople, tile ( arlaun and Joe
Kola, all married men, and .Swan Johnson,
Mike Harrington, Frank itocko. AI Torresa

None of the bodies have been recovered,
nnd it is believed it will be lieie-sarv to di
vert the channel of the river before tbey
ran be secured. It ia believed to have been
the worst oisaster that ever occurred in the
Lake Stierior iron region.
There were -III men in the mine when tho
accident occurred, but in of them who were
working iu the lower levels managed to
escape.
The Mansfield was developed about six
year ago and has been worked continually
since. It was a produrer of hlgbgrade
Ilessemer ore, and it is estimated to have
contained -iio.noO ton when the accident
occurred. To-day it is a worth loss plt.omy
marked by a small bay sunk from the nat
ural bed of the Mirhitranimn by tue cave-in.
DERAILED TRAINS.
Two Fatal Accidenta From Dad Switch
Ing. Five Llvea Lest.
Freight train G.", on the big four rond.ran
into three loaded ft.it cars at Fdgemont near
Cincinnati. The engine was hurled front
Its trucks and the tender thrown dowu a 40
foot embankment.
(in tbe front of the first car in the train
three trumps from Columbus, O., were rid
ing. They were thrown into the uildst of
the wreckage and three of tlum boiled to
dtutli by escaping steam. The other was
crushed about the head and body and lived
but a few minutes. While a wrecking
crew was at work prying enr off the
track a tic flew up nnd struck William Ho

The switch engine ciew are blamed for
the wreck. 'J hey ran the three cars Upon
the main track which at that time should
have been ckure I lor tbe freight traiu..
A p enger train on the Frisco road,
which left Springlield Sun. lay night ran in
to an open sw-itcii ut Lyman, Mo., and
struck the rear end of a stock train. Three
stock car were wrecked and Kngineer
Maxey Hall and Fireman C'harlea hohinsoii
were buried In the debris, ltoth were killed.
One passenger lind hii arm broken and sev
eral were slightly iujur.d.
There is no station or telegraph otlles at
l.yniiin and the switch was undoubtedly
opened by some one intent upon wrecking
the train. 'The stock cam were hidden from
the view-.of the engineer until bis engine
was almost upon them.
Three attempts to wreck trnlns at the
ame point were made within I lie past two
months but were frustrated by the .railroad
jtliciuls.
A MANIAC AND HIB PISTOLi

HOW THEY FINISHED.
End of tbe Greatest Beason in Baseball
History.
For the sixth time since 1870 the lloston
tesin baa been voted the champion baseball
playeis of the country, which puts them on
an equality with the Chicagos, who have
uls'j won tho penant on six occasions in
that lime. The linisli of the first ix clubs
in the ra'.'e is very liitere.sliug.be'uig equally
divided bteen the Fiwt and tho West.
Cincinnati crept hit i the first division at
the lust wag ol the bummer on a miserable
lluke. The Frooklyns had fought for and
won their pluce in the lirst division, but
w hen they came to Chicago, where they
would have undoubtedly have clinched
matters, the ruin knocked them out of the
games until Cincinnati tied theui. To make
it all tho easier foi Cincinnati, on Saturday
Washington did not show up ut the grounds

A PRESIDENTIAL LETTES.
President Clevelaud'a Views oa th
Monetary Situation.
In reply to letter from Governor North
en, of Atlanta, Oa., asking the president to
give his position on financial matter, Mr.
Cleveland seut the following reply:
Exn-rrivt Marsior
WasHiffrron, D. C )
"Hon. W. J. Norlben:
"Mr Dxk 8i I hardly know how to
reply to your letter of the 13th Inst, It
seems to me that I aro quite plainly on rec
ord concerning the financial question. My
letter accepting the nomination to tbe presi
dency, when read In connection with the
message lately sent to Congress In extraor
dinary session, appears to ms to - be very
explicit. I want currency that Is stable
and safe In the hands of our people. I will
not knowingly be Implicated in condi ion
that will Justly make me In the least de
gree answerable to any laborer or farmer in
the United States for a shrinkage In the
purchasing power of the dollar he bus re
ceived for a good dollar's worth of work, or
for a good dollar's worth of the product of
his toil. I not only want our currency to
be of such a character that all kinds of dol
lars will be of equal purchasing ower at
home, but I want it to be of such charact
er a will demonstrate abroad our wl dom
nd good faith, thus pluciug upon firm
foundation our credit among the nations of
the earth. I want our financial conditions
and tbe laws relating to our currency so
safe and re issurin that thot,e who hare
money will spend and Invest It iu business
and new enterprises instead of hoarding it.
'You cannot cure Iright by railing it fool
ish and unreasonable, and you cannot pre
vent the frightened man from hoarding bis
money.
"1 wunt good, sound and stable money,
and a condition of confidence.thal will keep
it In use.
"Within tbe limits of what I have written
I am a friend of silver, but I believe its
proper place in our currency can only be
fixed by a readjustment of our financial
legls latlon and the inauguration of a con
ilsteut audcomprehensive Unsocial scheme
I think such a thing can only be entered
upon profitably and hoefully after tbe re
peal of the la ar which Is charged with all
our financial woes. In the prevent state of
the public ml ml this law cannot be built
upon or patched in such way as to relieve
the situation.
"I a in therefore opposed to the free and
unlimited coinage of silver by this country
alonn and indeeiidently, and I am in favor
ol the immediate and uncondl ional repeal
of tbe purchasing clause of tho so-called
Sherman law.
''I confess I am astonished by the oppo
sition in the senate to such prompt action
as would relieve tbe present unfortunate
situation.
"My daily prayer is that tbe delay orca
aioned by audi opposition may not be the
cause ot plunging tbe country into deeper
depression than it has yet known, sod that
tbe Democratic party may not be justly
held iesioiisi iile for such catastrophe.
Yours very truly,
"Oao IB Ci.kVII.AMD."

of failures for the quarter now closing is
not possible, but the number thus far re

the pi st week the failures have been 329 in
tbe Fnited Hates, aginst 177 last year, and
in Canada 34 against 31 last year.
Ilusiness has not entirely answ ered ex

pated, und with some it is a quest ion wheth
er they will not close again. While money

about 14,500.000 Clearing House certificates

14.474,275 pounds, ngainst 31.0mi.50U lust

mills und another third in machine shop,
