This can be applied with very good
effect in the purchase of Coffees and

of Coffee, the grade, the roasting and
preparation are very important factors.

those requirements. A delicious cup

stood behind his instrument on South Main

tho melancholy expression on his counten
ance. Dr. J. l'icrco lioberts happened along
and the melancholic combination worked
upon his generous spirit. Ho dropped a coin
that glittered like silver into Tommy's hand
and parsed on. The coin must havo been
above the ordinary iu valuo that tho organ
grinder is accustomed to receiving, for lie
hastened to the doctor's rosidenco on East
Coal street and stood in front of it playing
tunos until Mrs. Huberts and tho neighbors
wero almost driven to frenzy. The doctor
will have an understanding witli the organ
grinder on a basis of anti-reciprocity.

The True Facts Regarding the Knicker
b Kkcr Colliery Explosion.
HIKE CHICO'S FOOLHARDY ACT.
Peter Becker, of Mahanoy City, Dies From
Injuries Sustained at the Tunnel Ridge
CoUlery-A Slate Picker Will Proba
bly Lose the Sight of an Eye.
It is authoritatively stated that there has
been a sensational disclosure in connection
with tho oxploslou of gas that occurred at
tho Knickerbocker colliery last Saturday,
It was genorally supposed that tho investi
gation made last Monday by General Super
intendent John Velth, Mine Inspector Stein
and others would be final, and that the
affair would pass on record as tho best evi
dence at hand then pointed, namely, that
tho explosion was caused by gas being
ignited by a shot. Tho matter did not end
there, howevor, but was continued secretly
and tho mine ollicials now have positive
proof that Miko Chico, 0110 of tho men
working in breast No. 20, whero tho explo
sion occurred, caused the disaster by strik
ing a match with which to light the squib
for tho shot which lias heretofore been de
clared as tlio causo of the explosion.
It seems almost incredible that a man
working in a mlno with a safety lamp should
attempt such a foolhardy thing, but it is true,
nevertheless, in the light of tho evidence tlio
mine officials have collected, and they say tho
evidence is of a most positive character.
Chico was among the most badly injured of the
nine victims. He is at tho Minors' hospital
and making good progress towards recovery.

Davis, but failed to locate h in. Inquiries
were made at the postolUce, at tho ollices of
tho various Justices, at tlio Tax Collector's
ollicoaud several other places, but without I
avail, and the task was given up. Tho cau-.e J
of the scarcli was the .ceeipt of a telegnmi '
signed by John J. S. Itodgers, Immigrant 1
Commissioner at Philadelphia, notifying
Daniel Davis that his brother-in-law, Thomas
Jones, had arrived on the steamship Indiana
and had been detained because ho hud only
