GOOD WORK DONE BY FIREMEN

From Getting Inside the Mine-Children
Bet Fire to a Mattress
While Flaying With a
Candle.
Tho Inside workings of tho Kehley Run
colliery were threatened by flro vostcrd.iv
and a corps ef firemen had a hard fight to
accp it irom spreading. It started In a mlno
breach Just above the forks of the Brandon
vlllo and Ringtown roads Tho breach Is on
the Buck Mountain vein of tho Kehley linn
colliery and had been filled by tho Glrard
Estato with old planks, sills, etc.. to keep tho
team road that runs close to tho opunlng
from caving in.
Yesterday several discharged fireworks In
the vicinity of the breach and sonic flrn
crackers fell amongst the linn tier 1 n tho
place. William Giles discovered a bin lire In
tbe breach and notified Sunorl ntendent
Balrd, who requested members of tho Rescue
hook and ladder Company to go to tho
place and put tho flro out. A smiad of the
members went up with six Bibcocks.
ine aenso smoke prevented thm frnm
descending into the breach until they
called tho smoko protectors Into play. It
was tlio Ilrst use of the protectors, which
were purchased ouly recently, and thnv
pruTBu very satisfactory. The fire was
tubborn one and tho squad of men worked
luny an hour before they succeeded In ,
tiugulshing it. During tho operations four
teen Hancocks were omptied. Superintendent
Balrd feels very grateful to tho firemen for
their work and has indicated his intention of
making a substantial recognition.

Warning to Miners.
Organizer James, of Jeanesville,- cautions
miners against going to Virginia. He says :
They do not pay the union scale there the
same as In the soft coal regions of this state,
or there would be no need for them coming
north lor labor, furthermore, before any
man is employed he is obliged to take an
oath that he is not a member of any labor or
ganization, nor will he become a member
while employed there. Some of our people
may sutler hardships here, but if they go
there they will find it much worse, because
the store order system is worked to perfection
and prices much higbor tlaq here, while the
goods are said (q ho of an inferior quality.
Just advise all mjuers to, keen s,way front
Virginia."

Havana, May 31. -Early yesterday
morning Lieutenant Colonel George M.
Handa!!, of the Eighth United States
Infantry, accompanied by Paymaster
Moses, his clerks, a doctor and a mili
tary escort, with noarly $200,000, loft
by spelcal train for Santiago de laa
Vegas, but owing to various delays
tho payment of Cuban Boldlors did not
begin until the afternoon. Many of
tho applicants, of whom thoro was a
large number, were without guns. It
was observed that a largo proportion
wore from Mnrianao, from which point
they wero prevented from coming on
Monday to Havana. One man, who
had a Mauser, begged a ride on the
special train carrying tho pay car,
nnd was tho first man to bo paid. Not
a slnglo officer would come forward to
Identify nn applicant, a fact causing
considerable annoyance and Increasing
tho delay.
That tho rolls are padded badly bo
comes moro and moro evident each
day, and Colonel Randall says that
from what ho can learn every man,
dead or allvo, who ever has served in
the ranks of the insurgents appears on
tho lists. Investigation has already
shown that several officers gavo cer
tificates to men who had no guns.
When Colonel Randall demanded the
presence of theso officers thoy refusod
to come forward. In ono instance It
was discovered that the name of a cap
tain was enrolled who, to certain
knowledgo of one of tho Cuban offi
cials assisting the paymaster, had boon
dead two years.
It is generally belloved by tho offi
cials making tho disbursement that
the rolls were padded In the expecta
tion that the company commanders
would have a personal hand In mak
ing payment. Ono mnn who was nald
yesterday said ho was glad the Ameri
cans were distributing tho funds them
selves, as otherwise ho would not havo
received more than $26.
Tho number paid yesterday after
noon was 45, but thoro woro several
applicants with arms entitled to pay
ment who will receive It after Identification.
Santiago do las Vegas Itself is an ex
tremely dirty town, with a population
or i.uuu. it is sadly in need of a sanl
