CAUGHT IN A RUSH.
A. miner Covered by. Coal anil Almost
Smothered.
Mahanoy City, Nov. 11. Joint Joseph, a
miner employed at tlio Primrose colliery, liad
a narrow escape from being smothered to
death by a rush of coal. He was employed
at tlio bottom of the gun-boat slope and went
up In a chute to start a lump of coal which
had become wedged. There was a sudden
rush of the coal and Joseph was precipitated
Into the car below, tbo coal covering him to
a depth of abont n foot. Only his left foot
remained exposed. Fortunately a large
quantity of lino coal first covered tlio vic
tim's body and formed a cushion under tbo
largo lumps cf coal that followed. This
prevented the man from being mangled.
Joseph would have been smothered to death
but for the presence of fellow workmen and
their prompt relief work. Tho victim will
be confined to his home for several days.

Rll: Journey, 738 6th St., Portsmouth, Va.
New York, Nov. 11. Tho expected
happened at the trial in Lone, Island
City yesterday of Martin Thorn for the
murder of William Ouldensuppe. Mrs.
Augusta Nnck took the witness stand
and grave a detailed account of the trag
edy as already published, declaring
that Thorn alone committed tho mur
der and dismembered tho body, and
that she only aided in the disposition
of the remains. She declared that she
acted as she did wholly through fear
of Thorn, whom she asserted that she
never loved. She had, she declared,
never loved any man but her husband,
and this statement caused a titter in
the court room.
For several weeks rumors have, been
current that both Thorn and Mrs. Naok
were striving to gain a remission of a
possible capital sentence by giving
sufficient information to the represent
atives of the people for tho conviction
of the other. Despite these rumors
the legal representatives of the man
and woman have strenuously denied
that either of the prisoners were in
clined to turn Informer.
Soon after the court room was open
ed Emanuel Friend, Mrs. Nack's coun
sel, put in an appearance, and he vol
unteered the Information that Mrs.
Nack had made a full confession, and
would be put on the stand at once.
During all this time Martin Thorn waB
below in a cell at the back of the court
house without the slightest warning of
his Impending danger. As soon as he
arrived In the court room he was In
formed by his counsel of the action
that Mrs. Nack had taken, and Jutfor
a moment his face flushed, and "With,
brows contracted and lips compreeed
he showed for the first time since till:
arrest that he was in any way per
turbed. TT ennn irnlnpil bin pnmnnsllrp. linww
ever, and while he leaned forward andi
spoke to his lawyers Mrs. Nack en
tered the court room accompanied by
her lawyer and a deputy sheriff. The
woman passed close to Thorn on her
way to the district attorney's table,
which was only three feet away from
where Thorn was sitting. But w,hlle
he carefully kept track of her every
movement she avoided lodklng at him.
The Jurors at this time did not know
Who the woman was, and were Ignorant
of the fact that Mrs. Nack had made
a confession and was so close to them.
A minute later the court clerk called
her name, saying "Mrs. Augusta Nack,
take the stand." Every man of the 12
in the Jury box heard the name called,
and each one of them was startled
when he saw the woman turn away
her head from the prisoner, whose eyes
followed her as she walked around the
back of the Jury box and took a Beat
In the witness chair. For two hours
and 40 minutes she remained there, tho
cynosure of all eyes, while she told the
terrible story of how she lured Oulden
suppe to his death, and In telling tho
tale she knew full well that she was
bringing her paramour to the electrlo
chair. Frequently their eyes met, but
the woman was not equal to that occa
slon, and she always had to turn away
from Thorn's1 steadfast gaze.
"When she was asked why she had
confessed she replied that she wished
to clear her conscience, and then burst
Into tears. But when Lawyer Hows
began his cross examination he han
dled her unsparingly, and made her own
up to such acts of premeditation that
the majority of those who heard her
admissions said that she was the great
est culprit, and many of those who had
previously evinced a decided antipathy
to Thorn swerved around and pitied
him.
The remainder of the afternoon was
taken up by bath rubberB who had
worked alongside of the murdered man
In the Murray Hill baths. One of them
was Guldensuppe's nephew, and he as
well as the others positively identified
the portions of the mutilated and head
less body which had been picked up
within a week after the awful crime
had been committed. The prosecution
produced one expert witness, Coroner
Tuthlll, of New York, who described
the different portions of the body which
were, brought to the morgue, and
proved conclusively that they belonged
to the same person.
Thorn's lawyers have decided to put
him on the stand when the proper time
oomes, ana they promise that when he
tells all he knows the court and jury,
as well a the spectators and reading
public will be treated to another sen
sation.
The evidence for the people will prob
ably be concluded early this afternoon,
but Thorn may not be examined as a
witness in his own behalf before tomor
row. Throughout the day Thorn be
haved wonderfully well, and his self
oontrol under the existing circum
stances was remarkable. At times he
seemed deeply interested, and his lurk
ing sneer, which has always been In
evidence, was not bo palpable ae on the
previous days. On two occasions when
Mrs. Nack w,as closely pressed by Law
yer Howe Thorn enjoyed her discom
fiture and laughed outright. There Is
rcarcaly any doubt as to the fate which
awaits the barber, but as yet the prose
cution has not stated what immunity
shall be given to Mrs. Nack for the
unlocked for position in which she has
placed herself.
Mr. Kowe, counsel for Thorn, In the
course of an Interview after the ad
journment of court, declared that Mrs,
Naok killed and cut up Quldeniuppe,
"Walt," said Howe, "and I will put
Thorn on the witness stand, and he
will tell the Jury the truth that It was
Mrs. Nack who killed Ouldensuppe and
who cut him up in the bathtub. Mrs.
Nack's confession will prove a boom
erang. She has confessed that she
bought the oliclotlj whllehe was yet
alive, ana ".rougnr it to wrap -up nm
body, she hal confessed that she lured
him to that house, so he could be killed.
She has confessed to murder, and the
Jury will oonulder a long time before
they will convict my client on what the
has said."

Mahasoy CtTY, Nov. 11. The arrival of
Deputy State Superintendent of Public In
struction Henry Houek at the Teachers'
County Institute in session here yesterday
afternoon woe cordially welcomed by the
teachers. Mr. Houcfc closed the session with
an address In his usual happy manner.
At the opening of tbo session this morning
Mr. George Howell, city superintendent of
schools at Scranton, Pa., was Introduced.
He took "Words" as his theme and had
the Institute very ranch Interested. Thought
giving, or expression, he said, Is equal to
thought getting. The beat tost of impression
is expression. Supt. Howell gave the origin
of ccrtalu words ami said the study of orthog
raphy casts a great deal of light upon history
and tho movement of the various peoples of
Europe in the earlier ages. The lecture was
a literary treat. Many favorable comments
were evoked from tho professors nud teachers
present.
"English Literature In Our Public
Schools" was tho Buhject vpon which Dr. M.
G. Brumbaugh, of Philadelphia, talked very
interestingly and ho was followed by Dr. O.
T. Corsun, of Columbus, O., who spoke on
tho subject of 'Kecitation." He paid
a strong compliment to tho remarks of Supt.
Howell. There is a great diilerence In
teacher?, said the speakers Too many
teachers entertain, but don't arouse the
curiosity or interest of their pupils.
Boys and gills are being ruiued
by ovcnvorK in wilting. They get no cliai.ee
to think. Discipline is a big feature of
school life. It Is not what the teacher is
thought of at the present time, but what he
will bo thought of 20 years hence. If Hogg
ing is necessary to make the man, go on with
tho man making. .
The morning session concluded with an
other of Mr. llouuk's entertaining talks and
it had an enlivening effect. At the afternoon
session Superintendent Howell and Drs.
Brumbaugh and Corsou spoke again.
Two of tlio auditors, a lady and gentleman,
fainted in tho institute this morning and
another auditor complained of Illness. This
was duo to improper ventilation, but to no
fault of the opera house management. The
facilities for ventilation were amplo and had
not been used.
The all-absorbing topic between sessions
and lectures is tho contest for tho next place
for tho institute,. It has boiled down to a
contest between Mahanoy City nud Potts-
ville, with tho chances vory much in favor of
the former. There will be somo scattering
votes, but they will not affect tho result.
Tho voting will start between 3 and 1 o'clock
this afternoon and the result announced to
morrow. TIito Is a strong sentiment In
favor of Maha loy City because of the
general satisfaction with tho town and
tho ontertainment the people havo af
forded tlio visitors, and also on account
of the spirit of opposition which has been
evoked by tlio course of tho Pottsville
teachers in conducting their canvass. Some
of tbo Pottsville teachers aro talking of hav
lug a separate Institute if the contest should
go against them. The law allows any place
having moro than fifty teachors to hold an
independent institute. It is not believed,
howover, that tho threat would bo carried
into execution.
Tho School Di roc tors' Association of
Schuylkill county closed Its annual session
boo yesterday afternoon and the attendance
was so small that it was decided to adopt a
now method for Increasing interest in the or
ganization. The first step in this direction
was to decide that the annual sessions bo held
at a different time than when tho county In
stitute meets, and in pursuance of this a
resolution was unanimously adopted tjhat
the association meet on tbo first Wednesday
of Septcmbor In each year.
During the closing session Stato Superin
tendent of Public Institution Dr. N. C.
Schacfier read an able paper on "Distribution
of State Appropriations."
Dr. Charles E. Quail, of Auburn, was re
elected presidout and W. F. Scheerer, of
Pottsville, vice president. W. J. Perry, of
Mahanoy City, was made secretary aud
