IT IS PRACTICALLY OUT I Hut iv Tew Yards of Hunting Muterhil Supposed to Willi KxUt When the Places tiiin bo Cleiirctl of (I uses Kxnlorutlon Will be Made. In conversation with a reporter Inst night Mine Inspector Stein sold the mine llro nt Colorado 1ms been practically ex tinguished nnd within the next few duys the initio officials will be nblo to cxploro nil the workings nnd make a search for tho bodies of the two missing Polish miners. This lire was discovered in No. 2 counter gangway between the Colorado stone level nnd the drift, level on the morning of. Mar 1st. Inst, nnd burned with ureat fury up to few dnys ngo. Its relative position to the north nnd south dips of the Mammoth vein nnd the extensive workings of No. 5 shaft made it vervdtfil cult to extinguish the lire bv drowninc. ns the llro would hnve gone nbove water level before tue water wonlu reach the seat of trouble. After maturo deliberation on the part of the best mining experts, in consultation with tlio Lehigh olllclais, it wns decided to mnko a vigorous fight to extinguish the lire bv nourlng wnter ou It from sev eral streams conducted through three nnd four-inch pipes connected with theGlrnrd wnter mnln nnd tho colliery pumps, tc gether with tue assistance of n pump placed nt tho mouth of tho Colorado drift. Considerable difficulty wns experienced during the thirty dnys the fire raged on nccount of tho cases arising from tlielmru ing of coal and timber, and the principal gnRes being carbonic oxide, or C O nnd carbonic ncid gas, or C 02. both of which nre fatal to life. Three per cent of the fi rmer nnd ten per cent, of the lntter will provo fntal. Notwithstanding these difficulties to be surmounted the olllclais and workmen struggled cnu tlously Mid herolcly to extinguish the ilre.recover the missing bodies nnd prevent t lie destruction 01 tue valuable con property. Had this lire reached propor tions beyond control it would hnve re suited In great loss In depriving hundreds of men of work, tnke n lnrgo revenue from the Btate In tnxes. consume n valu nblo mine, nnd possibly destroy adjoining conl properties. The loss which would hnvo resulted Is almost Incalculable. It la thought thnt but n few ynrds of burning mnterlnl now exist northwest nnd southeast of No. 2 counter chute. The dlstnnco from tho slope level to the top of the counter chute, where the fire traversed, is '4U teet soutn on the north din. This has been entirely extincutshed nnd the place re-titnberod. The distance the fire traversed in No. 2 counter Is 300 feet. 1 ho fire hero has nlso been extin cuished. This nlnco wns n burnine mass. The burning mnterlnl -was cooled by the water irom tue nine lines and w heeled out and dumped into breasts Nos. 57 and 58. The damaged places were then re timbeied nnd re-ononed as the workmen advanced. Mine Insnector stein savsthat ho has had experience with fourteen mine ures, uut tuis one, on nccount ot its loca tion, he considered the most difficult of nil to annronch and extinculsh. Tho Olrard Estate nnd Lehigh Vnliey officials hiive been in constant attendance since the lire started nnd rendered valuable assistance In directing the operations. Human lives hnvo frequently been placed In great dnnger during thethlrty-two dnys' battle with the fire and there have been many narrow escapes, yet only one fntnllty, in nddltion to the deaths of- the two ,mcn supposed to hnvo been in the" place when tue lire stnrten, una ueeu recorded, nnd thnt wns tho denth of the lapiented Fore man r tsnuurn. ot ijiackwood.

Pottsville, Juno 1. This is tho begin nlng of the merry month when hay-making nnd polities begin In earnest. It seems these two industries go hnnd In hand. Tho festive farmer will now lie very busy, if tho sun shines, and the im perturbablo and persistent politician will go around from bar to bar and from field to field and tell Munchausen lies. You can only tell the farmer from the politi ck worker sometimes by the lntter's car rying an umbrella and wearing n lnun drled collnr, but usunlly ho lookssomuch like the honest farmer In the assumed honest expression of countenance that If It were not for the clothe lie wears and his mako up iu political paraphcrnnlln, especially smnll change (and very little of it now days) the two would be mistaken for brothers, particularly when tho man with tho umbrella gets the man with tho rako around tho neck nnd whispers sweet nonsenso to hint, nnd the lrttcr Is too shrewd to mistnke tho false notos of the former for expressions of love. OLD TIMEI1S ON HECK. As the minstrel interlocutor would say, "we hnvo with us this evening for your entertainment somo of the old time favorites." The fact Is there Is nothing enticing In the outlook ou the Democratic side to bring me l out for office and we havo to deal mostly with the men who have been so long on the boards that they cannot do anything else and live. Exery once In a while the old Sam Slinrplesses and Sanfords will re appear and get oft' their wormy chestnuts and then take n snenk into obscure life iifcnin. Iu politics mere are lew line them; they re-appear perennially and rake oil n few ducats and then draw their long necks Into their sueus ami pnss into n comatose state. THIS CONUItlCSSIONAL FK.1IT. So, like the poor, we nlwnys hnve with us tho same mnterinl for the highest honors. There Is nothing fresh in the cnnuiuacy oi sucu men as Kellly, Uruium and Shoener for Congressional honors rho two former have been honored by sents In the lower house nt the National Cnpitnl nnd the latter has long been willing to have tho honors thrust upon him. They now re appear for the plaudits or hisses of an approving or disapproving nudieuco and when we say that wo have told it all. For despite nil the efforts of political peuuy-a liners to make news paper renders believe that new activity has sprung up and all that? I am com pelled to tell you that they prevaricate. It's the same old fight. Hellly is euro of lils nomination from tho Democracy nnd lltuium nnd Shoener nre 1 ing for tho lend. Whoever tells vnn ih.it ..l,i,..f the latter has the bebt of his antagonist only speculates; ho merely shows his preference. I have said in n former lei ter thnt llrumm from a tariff-discussion btauduoint is the stroncrosr. ran.li.li.iu ,.,i Shoener with the rank nnd file of the people is nhead. Now thnt; la thn r.,,cn i a nutshell. THE SlIItlEVALTV. Mr. Ilelllv. we are told. Is rnniintilni. around for a strong German Democrat iiurm oi me mountain to run for Sheriff.

H trirlns for S ur F nor can he monkoy with the people who invor iierald Mclveman. They are all just us much interested in their favorites as Hellly and his particular friends are imeresieu iu mo t-ongressmairs fntn. iVlthouch the snnin thlm- l,n claimed before, this is really tho fight of Mr. ltellly's life In politics.

C-30tf STREET WHISPERINGS. Newsy Items Uleaned hj the Town l'atrolt. Ing lteporters. The depravity of some women Is shock ing. The other evening three ofjthem, old and stout, stopped n respectable looking gent with grey whiskers, and pertly nuked him If he could do anything for threo orphans. They were given a qunrter with which one of the number procured n hnlf pint of rum. With the drink under an apron tliey retired to an alley, where tho bottle was passed around until emptied. . The pluck displayed by some young beau from out of town who call upou Shenandoah sweethearts is certainly to be admired. One of these youths comes fror. Centrnila. Part of his route lies about two miles over the mountain wilds to Ashland. He also returns this waynbout midnight. The screams of wildcats, flic possibilities of encountering a highw.ij man, or the organ grinder's bear, lost on the mountain n year ago, have no terrors to him, and during the days of snow and Hood he enme as regularly as the M.i' day shower. May the fair maid heoouns smile favorably upon his suit. Telling of wild cnta reminds us of a i experience of "Uncle Billy" Peiller. who often "batches It," In a hut back Haven Hun.

I heard tho cal 1 again only nbout two hundred yards away and called to them to come on, but, who on enrth could be traveling In thnt lonely plnce nnd at that hour I couldn't guess. I wasn't kept long In waiting, however, as n minute nfter tho call rang out clear and loud, nnd not more thnu ilftv yards away. It was the yell of a peskv wildcat which at a dlstanco is llke tM'' voico of " unman being. ell, the cold chills ran right up my marrer and I do believe my hat raised an inch. I was without pistol or knife, but tho cabin wns close by. 1 got up ami scooted, you bet ! and never looked back puce to see If the cat was coming. I got Inside and bnnged the door, nnd none too soon, for an instant after the heavy body of the wildcat struck the door In its leap for my shoulders. That's the only wildcat I've seen about here for ten years, and you bet I don't want to see any for ten years more, 'though I sometimes henr'em calling In the forest. . I am Informed thnt a number of young men nnd Indies in town who aro acknowl- cukcu lenders in the nmnteur dramatic Held, are rehearsing for a tour of the country next season under tho mnnnge ment of oue of the most prominent thentrical men In tho stnte.
