VERY MBEQW ESCAPE.,
MtNBRS COVERED BY A PALL.

THEY ARB TAKEN OUT UNINJURED
The Man Walk to Tbolr Homos
After Bolng Rescued Tlireo of
Their Companions Barely
Escape the Fall.
IVE men employed in
the Turkey Run col
liery had a thrilling
experience last oven
lug. They were work
ing a placo where tho
top coal was very
treacherous and finally ooncludod to stop
until they Could secure timber to prop the
placo. Thrco of tlio men startod for the
material, but had not gone ruoro than tlireo
or four jnrds when an immenso quantity of
coal fell upon tho two men who remained
behind.
Tho men whp escaped tho fall turned back
nnd with bars and ehovcls commenced the
Work of releasing their less fortunato buttles.
After hard work of a few minutes tho two
buried men woro takeu from tho debris. Ar
rangements had been made to carry them up
to the surface and huvo an ambulance tako
them home, but to thosurprlso of all tho two
rescued men declined all asslstanco after thoy
were released and insisted upon walking
home.
Tho two men made prisoners by the fill
were Hungarians named Joseph Yousofsky
and Abe Lctuskcy. They owo their escape
from Injury to the fact that the co.el striking
them when the fall occurrod was iluo stuff
and did not drop fiom a high place.
A gentleman of town who hoard of the
accident last night said ho thought there was
something very strango in connection with
most of tho mishaps in tho uulnoa thus far
this year. Two accidents havoheen fatal and
the falls oocurrod either just after tho top
had been souudod and declared safe, or steps
had just been taken to tlmbor tho place.
Tiiu gentleman said it was his opinion that
too much risk has been taken in mine work
lately. They put off tho "dressing'' and
propping of a placo too long.

As nil arrangements aro completed tho
Herald decided to make announcement to
day of somo additional inducements to tho
competitors in its teachers' contest. Theso
extra inducements are not Intended to ennso
extra exertion on tho part of tho contestants.
They are mado voluntarily, Our original inten
tion was to send two teachers to tho World's
Fair and nothing more, hut so much interest
has been manifested iu tho contest nnd the
results have been to satisfactory to the
management it hag been thought proper to
offer substantial encouragement to the
teachers who may mako n gallant fight, but
full to attain first or second place.
After ma' uro consideration v. .- wero led to
tho conclusion that tho best additional In
ducoment would be a trip to America's pride
tho wonderful Niagara Falls.
Thotno teachers who will bo third and
fourth when tlio result of tho contest Is an
nounced will be entitled to free faro to
Niagara Falls, freo actommodutions nt a first
class hotol.thero for five days, nnd free fare
back to Shenandoah.
If there will bo any place of Interest on
this continent next summer asido from the
World's Fair it will bo the wouderful
Niagara Fulls, and cottalnly thoro is no place
on earth where school teachers can spend a
moio interesting and enjoyable vacation.
When we speak of a trip to Niagara Falls
we refer to trips to tho surrounding points of
attraction, such as Goat Is'and Bridge,
Rapids above tho Falls, Bath Island, Goai
Island, Luna Island, Biddle Stairs, Cave of
the Winds, Thrco Sister Islands Prospect
Park, Whirlpool, Whirlpool Rapids, the
Suspension ai'd Cantilever bridges, American
Fails, Table Rock, Hoito-shoo Fall, tho new
Suspension Bridge, Luudy's Lane Battlo
ground, Tho Devil's Hole, Brock's Mouumcut,
Indian Village, Whirlpool (Canada Side)
aud many other places of which tho hiator
iaus liavo written so much. Nature lias
many water-falls and coutaraots, but only
one Niagara.
It is the intention of tho contest manago
ment to mako additional inducements to
other competitors as soon as negotiations can
bo completed. Wo are not prepared to hint
at what they arej but they will no doubt be
received with satisfaction when announced.

Tho Herald made brief mention a few
days ago to the appointment of James Hill
house, Jr., as Miue Inspector for tho Stato of
Alabama. The following was clipped from
the Adger (Ala.,) Daily Xetct: "The official
announcement reached here Friday, of the
appointment of Mr. James Hillhouse, Jr., to
the post of Mine Inspector of the Stato of
Alabama. There is not n person in Adger
who doos not feol proud and gratified of the
honor conferred upon our young mine boss.
This young man's friends are legion, and they
will all be glad to hoar of his promotion to a
position which he will fill, we have no doubt,
in a manner satisfactory to all concerned.
His theoretical, as well as practical, oxperi
ence, will (nab'o him to discharge his duties
with duo justice tJ both operators and
miners. It is hoped that this is but the first
step iu acareer which has every indication of
being one full of prosperity and honor. Con
gratulations are pouring in on Mr. Hillhouse
by tho dozen, and they are well deserved."
Mr. Ulllhouso is tho youngest Mine
Inspector in the United States and the mine
bosses under whom he worked in this section
iu former years as slatepicker, door-tenderand
mulo driver aro delighted to hear of his
wouderful progress. In addition to his
practical knowledge of mining Mr. Hillhouse
had the advantage of a two-year course in
mino engineering iu tho State University of
Alabama and one year at the Ohio University
at Columbus, Ohio.
That old established cough remedy, Downs
Elixir, still more than holds its own in the

standard remedy for coughs, colds and all
throat trouble, with grset numbers of our
people, aud tbajr ooutluued use and uu

THE HESMD MS !
FALSE REPORT CONCERNING
E3HLEY RUN.
THAT PLAGE WORKED ALL DAY
And Was Not Stopped by Reason
of a Darn Bursting OolllerisB
in tho Outskirts W re
Crippled by Water.
REPORT gained clrcu
latlon iu town to-ilay
that tho bursting of a
dam had drowned tho
workings of tho Kohloy
Run colliery. Tho re
port was without any
foundation. Tho col
liery received a groat
quantity of water vee-
(orday nnd to day, but its operations were not
stopped nnd tho water did not How from any
dam, sound or broken.
A reporter went up to tho colliery this
morning and'arrlvcd at tho upper office just
in tlmo to meet Superintendent Baird as he
canio out of tho elnpo and inspecting tlio
operation of tho pump below.
Mr. Baird 1-ughed when ho was told of
tho report and said, "Somebody Is crazy.
There is 110 broken dam here, hut it is a fact
that water has been trying to cripple us."
Tho reporter learned that tho combined
thaw and continued hoivy rains had caused
immenso streams to pour from the mountain,
hut tho foresight nnd prompt action of tho
superintendent had kept tho colliery on its
ieot and work was continued all day to-day
with littlo trouble.
Realizing that floods might threaten the
mino within a few days Superintendent
Baird on Tuesday put a number of men on
tho mountain abovo aud aiouud tho mine
bieeches and other openings to keep the
water coursis clear and keep all streams on
the go down tho creeks.
Yesterday tho superintendent took addi
tional precautions and put in operation the
mammoth pump that was installed iu the
mine last spring, but which had not been
operated since laBt June. This and another
pump worked steady all yosterday, last night
and to-day, and threw water out of the mine
at tho rato of 1,800 gallons a minute. Mr.
Ualrdwasiu aud about the mino all night
with the exception of an hour or two he
snatched for elecp.
As an additional safeguard tho force of
firemen was doubled and an amplo supply of
steam was kept up at all liourj for both
pumping and hoisting purposes.
Tho employes of tho Kehlcy Run colliery
were paid this afternoon.
Reports received to day from tho sur
rounding districts showed that operations at
tho Knickerbocker, Ellcngowuu and St.
Nicholas district collieries wcro suffering" to
some cxtent'by Hoods.
The Turkey Run and West Shenandoah
collieries also suffered from floods to day.
Immenso streams of water poured into thr
mines last night aud threatened tocripplo the
operations for several days.
All operations were suspended at tho Wm.
Ponn colliery to-day on account of water
getting into the mines. Tho oolliery will
very likely start up again to-morrow.
