David -Davis;- an old Welsh miner, was at one time entombed nine days in a mine in uornwui, ana his wife never gave up. She remembers tbe day, and should David JDav is ever emerge from the mine hers, be will find a woman calmly awaitincr at the door to welcome him.

A special to tho Brooklyn StandardUnion from Washington says: A piece of news that will be read with intense interest comos from tho White House, It is no less than a positive declaration by President Harrison that he will not bo a candidate for ronominatiou under any circumstances. The President, it appears, made up his mind some time aeo not to seek tbe presidential nam l mi tiott again. He did not think it necessary to make any announcement of uo fact. although it was assumed by thousands of party men that in tho natural course of th inoB bo would bo a candidatofor a Sec ond - torn). Indeed, the announcement was m&do Ib tho most caaual way. Tbe Presidoot was in conversation with na I intimate friend st the White House and
th talk turned on tbe ttlrer bill. InoidonUUy national politics wag mentionei!, And the Preeident expressed himself qnito freely. He said, among other things, that bo l nil ntado np bis
niina not to do n cnntiiante lor renoraination, end that at tbe oud of his present term he intends to settle in Indian apolis , again nud-resume the practice of few. The President's dcolcration touching his relation to tho next presidential nomination, made as it was without reserve, was soon iti wide circulation and afforded a topic for conversation that in uiteiest subordinated all other topics, for the time. 'IiAI)LV tIKH"DAMl. Thirty-One Mlriern Sent Into JSteralty Throurh Its Agnney. A Pittsburgh special, dated the 17th inst., suvs: About .11:30 in the morning a sudden roar Shook tho .miners' bouses for a mile around the littlo hamlet of Dunbar on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, about fear mile from Connellsville.' The Farm Hill mine, owned by Philadelphia parties bad exploded. A rash was made to the mouth of tbe mine, but it was impossible to get near as the smoke iqsiiu); .init inxgrdat vol'ftmcs. 'Pifty-two miners went to work in the morning in-tho mine and were there when the explosion occurred. Eighteen were in the left grading and thirty-four in the right. The eighteen in the left got out all right, but the unfortunate men in tbe right could not escape. The mine, it soome, has been troubled with water of late, an air-shaft bad been drilled from tbe surface to tbo junction of the right and left shait. Tho minors knew that an air-bole had been drilled, but did not know that the shaft was to be broken into. A miner named Kirwin had been left in tho right shaft and, in tho course of bis labor, broke into the other shaft When this was broken into a flood of water rushed out and tbey feared they would drown. The flow of j water had changed to a deadly flow of , fire-damp, and, as a man by the mime of Hays passed by the shaft, a flash of hr shot through tho air, from one end to the other. He carried a miner's open lamp, and as soon as he stepped into the other shaft the fire-damp caught, and he dropped dead ou the spot. In an instant tbe -fire sprang up in the nine foot vein just between the entrance and the right,' shutting in thp thirty-two mou. Old David Hays, tbe father of young Hays, . was driven mad by the fate of his sun, rushed into tbe smoke and deadly fire damp only to fall dead at the stte ol- his son. Willing hands were not wanting. A ' man named Keagley headed a gang of 100 men and entered the right shaft and after groping their way for half a mile were driven book again and again by the gag. A gang of men worked from noon until late nt night with but little result, and up to this hour but two bodies have been taken out. At midnight tbe smoke and gas from tbe right shaft poured up the main exit in volume after volume, almost beyond human endurance. Tho party gave up all hopes of saving their comrades, and believe that they were killed outright, S. A. Uill, of Dnhbar, is superintendent, and has been tbero only three months. No reason can be given for the disaster until the coroner's jury holds an inquest. It is the worst over known in tbe - Connellsville region. The rescuers are still at work and will continue to do so until they reach the men beyond the fire. The damage to the mine cannot be estimated. The Farm Hill mine was one of the best in that pnrt of tbo coal region and tho loss dead is thirty-two. TIED CP. Every Bailroad In Cleveland Tied the Situation Very Serious. Bp. A Cleveland special, dated tho 18th inst., says: Every railroad in Cleveland is "tied up," and the wheels of tbe pasenger and mail trains aro the only ones turning. What tbo outcome will be neither tbe offioHls nor the employes predict, but both regard tbe situation as serious. Railroad men in all departments say that the switchmen must now either mako a success of tbe strike and gain their point or else send a committee to the officials with power to make suoh a settlement as will insure them tho positions they bve vacated. I he switchmen claimed last mgm mat tbo railroads must listen to their demands without delay or tho yardmen in adiaoent cities would also lo.ive i work. It wrs said that the switch men at Erie, Dunkirk, Buffalo, and j every other point on tbe eastern division of the Lake Shora were only vailing tor the word from Cleveland to join 1 in the strike. It was said also that tbe recent strike in Pittsburgh bad not been I fully settled and that the yardmen thore were anxious to again mska demands : upon their employers. At a meeting this morning the strikers decided to remain steadfast. There are 000 men out of employment. The effects of tbe complete "tie up" of all of the Clevelanu railways oy tne striding swucnmen are beginning to be ion oy tne business men and manufacturers of the city. It is impossible to supply coal in quantity to meet anything like the demands. It is said tbe mills at Newburg will be shut down. Other industrial plants will also be closed -in a day or two. Xne Entorauod Miners. A special from Dunbar, Pa., dated tbe 18th inst., soya: Tbo efforts of rescuing parties of entombed miners at tbe Farm Hill mine, where the explosion occurred, was unavailing.' The Coroner is on tho ground. ' He viewed the-two dead bodies recovered yesterday, but re fuses to hold an inquest uutil the others are recovered. Early in tbo morning Martin Markov, pit boss of the Anchor mines,. made a daring attempt to reach the right driftings of the Farm Hill mines, from the Maboney entrance, one and one-half miles away from the hills. He crawled over drifts and fallen slato to within 100 yards of tho fatal cham bers, and sounded again and again, but listened' for a response in vain. Tho men were either smothered or wore fighting tho fire that was now steadily encroaching on tuoir narrow territory, and Markey, cut and bruised, abandoned tho hojoloss quest of seeking an answer from 100 yards Of solid, dumb sluto. The sight about tbo pit s month ispitiaulo bocuuso of the twenty-four hours of anguish that has rolled over the heads of the relatives and friends of the entombed miners, and hundreds stand steadily at tho mouih gazing wretchedly at the black columns of smoke that seem to grow thicker every hour, indicating that tbe coal is now burning instead of timber and rooting. An air fan to furnish ventilation to the iniuo wns put in operation in tbe afternoon in the Ferguson pit, and work also commenced there. Some slight hope was ruiced at noon by the return of Walter McCleorly, one of the rescuing party, who reported that far down in tbe slope he heard a mule braying as if in great distress This loads to tha belief that th men may vot bo livinc. Great orowds are ar riving on every train aud flocking to tho scene of the disaster Attacked by Hogs. As tbe wife of J. M. Clevinger, res id ing on North Boutou stroet, lloann,Ind., was on her way to tho barn, she was compelled to pass through a let in whioh were - some swine and was and denly seized by one and 'Ir.ggetl to tin ground several times h '-sum uit-l terribly bitten shout tbv right iu.b and

Three wei:s ago, while on an excursion with 'a baity of friends, a discussion arose concerning overeating, which ended in a wager, and Newton ate twenty-six- hard-boiled oggs. He became ill jolmost .immediately, and was taken homo, whore be suffered terribly until hi death. Tho stomach and bowels refused to perform their func tions, anil seemed to be paralyzed by tj,e impnfct mass of eces. The patient lived practically without food for throe weeks, jjewton was aged 45 and was a perfect (jpeciuien, of physical' manhood, six feet tall, and weighing 180 pouuds, and was never Hick a jilay in his life until his fatal feast. He owned the finest farm in -t section, was worth $liq,poo, ami Was s''evy shipper and 'inrpoVte'Sr of fine cottle. lie wus well known to oattle dealers at Chicago and New York, and was a frequent exhibitor at State fairs. Strange Fatalism. London special: A strange story of fatalism was revealed on the arrival of the Umbrla. When the vessel started from New York Dr. Joseph Howe, of New York, and bis daughter, were among the passengers. Before sailing the dottor had a presentiment that he would die on the voyage, and made arrangements with Cunard agents to embalm bis body and send it back.

He bad written friends in London Chat be was coming across, and intimated that while there was no doubt about hie sailing he had grave apprehensions that. he would never reaou England alive. The Lottery War. Baton Rouge (La.,) special says: A movement from an unexpected quarter took tho wind away from the Louisiana State Lottery men. Representative Wells introduoed a proposition made by Benjamin Ningass, a banker of London and oonnected with the Rothschilds to give to the State $1,250,000 per year or $250,000 more per year for a franchise to run a lottery than is offered by tbe present company which is headed by James T, Morris. Tbe new proposition is to give tbo money direct to the State for levees or any speeiuc purpose. Banker Ncngass bus large .real estate interests in New York and New Orleans. He hng instructed his agent to outbid Mr. Morris $250,000 at a time until tbo old corporation weakens. Ho agrees to give a satisfactory bond to guarantee the payment of the money to the State. Beat a l'otuiater. John Love and Thomas Duckworth,of Peculiar, Mo., have been arrested, oharged with conspiracy to deprive the postmaster nt that place of the receipts and emoluments of his office, interforont of the unpopularity of A. S. Gilson, receiitlv appointed postmaster. Lore and Duckworth purchased stamps at other towns and gave them away, or sold them to people in Peculiar so as to prevent Gilson from getting his commission ou suoh stamps and nlso arranged to collect mail matter from the people of the town aud took it directly to the railroad trains, thus depriving the postmaster of his legitimate fees. Death Irom a Fly's Bite. Several days ago, while James Baker, colored, employed in a poultry house at Indianapolis, was picking chickens, ho was bitten ou tho upper lip by a blue fly, Witbin a few hours the lip had swollen frightfully, and the young man rapidly grew worse and died. Immediately after death the face presented a horrible sight, the lips being partially decomposed from blood poisoning. There Is always more or less decompose I ing material lying about the poultry house, and tne voruuer reports mob jut, Baker was stung by a fly, whioh likely injected septic matter. Dynamite Explosion. Tbe nitro-glyoerine factory of Casterline s Co., situated four raues east or Findlay, was blown up by tho explosion of a large quantity of the dangerous element. Tbe shock of the explosion broke a number oi windows in that city and was distinctly felt at Toledo, fortythree miles away, citizens of that place believing an eartuquaae shock nau passed over the city. No ono was injured, and all tbe owners havo to show for $i ,000 worth of combustible material is an immense hole in tbe ground. Burnlns Cn the Country, A Are, which started In a house five miles south of Merced, Oala., spread to the green fields and raged for five hours in the cram stacks and fields, until a strip eiehteen mile in length had been laid in ashes. People -flocked toward the fire from all directions, and soon a thousand men were engaged m lighting tbe flames. Tho wind died away at sun set, and the line of fire having reached an open space tbe flames were brought uudor control." The loss is about $20,000; insurance small. Hio Duel Uidn't Come Oft, Dr. T. F. Borry, of Louisville, Ky., and John Blankenbakor, a farmer living near Fisherviile, settled a quarrel on the dueling field. Berry claimed that Blankenbaker had slandered him and demanded a written retraction. Blankenbaker refused. They had .their pistols raised ready to Are when Blankenbaker called out to step the light, as it would bean irreparalle wrong if ho should kill Berry and tdat he must remember bis wife nud children. Ho agreed to sign a retraction. SfcaH Crushed. James Jones and Walter Walker, two married men, employed in a cement quarry at Cementvillo, five miles from J cfforsonville, quarreled. Walker, becoming frenzied, picked up a large bar of iron aud struck Jones ou tho back of thn head vith terrilio force, shattering tbo skull liko an egg-sholl.
