A manuscript of Milton’s “Paradise
Lost” recently sold for $830. If poets
possessed Methuselah’s longevity tiaey
might make good money.
Male mosquitoes do not bite, but get
their living from the juices of flowers.
It is evident that in mosquitodom, at
least. the female sex is privileged.
An electric railway which is being
built in India has filed an order for
1,000,000 pounds of trolley wire with
a Connecticut manufacturing firm.
This is another triumph for American
over ' British manufacturers in their
own field of operations.
The American city milkman is not
the sole occupant of the milk-water
trust. Our consul at Frankfort, Ger.,
reports that of 122 samples of milk
examined by the board of health, over
half were diluted with from 10 to 60
percent of water. A test of 3794 sam-
les in Hamburg resulted in proving
5 objectionable.
Illustrating the cheapness of the
parcels postal service in Germany, it

In the Shaft.
THE DISASTER AT PORT ROYAL, PA.
Number of Explosions Occurred and It Is Feared
There Is Little Hope for the Miners--Wiliiam
McCune, Superintendent of the District, is
Among Those Entombed--Those Rescued
Could Give No Cause for the Explosion.
Port Royal, Pa. (Special).—The
Pittsburg Coal and Coke Company's
Shaft No. 2 at this place is again on
fire, after steady running for
years, and over 30 men are in the mines,
many of whom, it is feared, will never
be heard from again.
About 6 o'clock smoke was seen to
be issuing from Shaft No. 2, which is on
the line of the Pittsburg and Lake Erie
Railroad. It is thought the fire start-
ed from an explosion, and that six
men were in at this time, the men being
Jack Peoples, Tony Stickles, Frank
Davenport, Daly, Lawrence Set-
ler and John Stakes. Stakes and Set-
ler were not near the place in which
the explosion occurred, and upon the
arrival of a rescne party they
being nearly overéome by damp. They
could give no information as to what
had caused the explosion and the res- |
cuing party reported that four other
men were entombed.
About 7 o'clock William McCune,
general superintendent of this district;
Dennis Wortley, pit boss of the mine:
Michael Roy, foreman of the Euclid
mines, and several other bosses, with
about 30 men, went down Shaft No. 1,
which is just opposite on the Balti- lJ
more and Ohio side of the river, and
have not been heard from since.
three hours after the rescuing party
had been in the mine two more explo-
sions were heard.
around the opening of the shait had in-
creased, including many mothers, wives
and sisters of entombed men.
All sorts of plans have been suggest-
ed to rescue the men. Some talk of
turning the river into the mines, but
many are opposed to this idea, for fear
of drowning the miners. All that
would be necessary to let the deluge of
water loose in the mines would be to
pull a plug which was placed in the |
mines after the explosion of seven years |
ago and the water would rush into the
mines at a rapid rate v
