HA/I.KI'IN. PH.. I'eb, F. Kighteen men in watery graves mark* the result of the most awful mine horror that has over ix'i'uriril in this region. «1 canes* •ille, the prettv little mining- village of ,1. Havdeu .V o., two miles tin

mounlains from

this place, is the MM'IIC of the disaster which has resulted in such appalling loss of lif*» nml which has brought dcsola'ion ami anguish to so many home*. :md dear ones. At 11 o'clock W edtiesday morning while Charles P»oylc and Patrick Cull, of hcvi.ston, woiv engatrcd in drilling a hole In their chamber in the lower lift of No. 1 slope of .1. C. Harden o. at .leanes* ville they broke into the old No. slope that has been idle for live years and hud been Mooded to the mouth with water. William Mrisliu. a driver, was driving at lhel»'H"in of the slope, when he felt the wind e..ming and eried out: "Hoys, for lind's salve, run for your lives or we will nil he drowned." Id a moment the foree of water came and Urislin harelv escaped with his life. Hebides him six others were saved.

The water rose rapidly and 'before aJiv attempt could be made to rescue the rest Oi the workmen the water flowed in and in five minutes the slope, which is 'VJ4 feet deep, was filled to the mouth, and eighteen men who but a few hours before with light hearts left tho bright sunshine and dear sky to ascend into the dark* cavern of coal were buried in watery grave* and iheir lifeless bodies, blackened and maimed, are alone left to, tel) Ihe,terrible cost of mining coal.

Tin* news of the disaster created the wildest excitement, and the mouth of the slope was soon thronged with peo pie frantic in their "tV »rt^ to obtain information of he inmat .\s of the mine. When all the men who escaped reached the surface and it was known who the lost were the excitement inerea-ed. and in less than half un hour hundreds of men, women and children gatlc-vcd around the slope, and the terrible scenes of anguish that ensued can not be depicted, wives imploring pitcously of the miners standing by ho knew only too wc-ll the faial result to save their husbands from.-the terrors of a watery grave: little children crying for the father who would never return relatives and friet.ds wringing* their hands in sorrow and distress and appealing to a merciful Providence to save all. when within each breast was the certain feclimr that, their "prayers would be unanswered. The weather, which was bitterly co)d. did not have any elVcct toward diminishing- the crowd, and it was only after the terrible result was made plain that none of the intombed men were living or could possibly be reached until all the water could 1H4 pumped out of the slope that the grief-stri*kcii fneuds of the unfortunate men could be induced to go to their homes.

The tirin of llayden I'o. will pump the water out a rapid! as machinery placed in position can do the work. I,Iow long it will take is a question, since no definite idea of the volume of water can be ascertained. Some of the miners say it will take four weeks before the bodies can readied, others say twice as lonir. since all the water that had collected in the abandoned No. 8 slope will run into this lift of No. 1 slope, and will of course have to be pumped out. Mr. KrKlin. one of the escaped miners at the bottom of the slope, said to a reporter: wn» uaitim.' at tin- bettom nf the slope for a trip to oeme out. SuvMrnly I heard aloud noNo, nml I thought It \vu tlie trjpenmlns out. Then t» urfwl. hisV-l of ujrnl came and knocked me down the j^aii^uay. I -rh out to Jnuius GrtfttthH.

The slope in question, where the accident occurred, is a new slope which was sunk from the bottom of a worked-oio slom1 he latter has been flooded for at iea-d sixteen months, and oniv a few ot the old miners knew of Hie presence of tnat irreat body of water, and manv a time had the remark been made ihat if the lower gangwav workings' were driven up too near a dreadful accident would be the result- None of tin-workmen had any idea that the working- were driven as near to the water as tin wcie. ^\IIIIII:II MINK lloHllOlt.

Ci. vituNeb,, Feb. ?». The entire community is urou.scd over the murder Mrs. S. 15. owles. wife the president of the Pacific P»ank of Ibis city, by an unknown. The crime was perpetrated about .'.o'clock W ednesday morning ami the details ot the affair flashed over the village an hour later. .The owles residence is situated on the outskirts ot the town, The victim and her husband retired in an upper •hamber about midnight ith their 5-year-old child. Cow'les was aroused by voice proceeding from the kitchen. Not suspecting the presence of burglars lie arose in his niirht robe and started to ascertain the cause. lh wife begged him to desist. Suddenly as they civ discussing the mt\isablitv of searching the premises the.. chamber door was violently kicked open and a burly masked man with a revolver in his hand sprang into the room. In an instant the heavy gun .was brought down on owies" head and he sank to the tlonr uueonsci«%uv Seeing her husband struck down the frightened woman- uttered. ..several piercing shrieks. Neighbors heard three agonizing screams emanating from the v-Cowles residence and all was quiet. A light was observed iu the chamber occupied by the family, but before those aroused by the screams arrived at the scene of the tragedy the lamp was extinguished.

An entrance was etVeeted ami three men rushed to the sleeping-room. In the doorway they stumbled over the figure of'the banker. He was covered with blood from a ghastly wound iu the head. The form of the wife was lying across the foot of the bed. Her tongue extended from her mouth, hereyeswere almost hurst ing from their sockets, and the imprint* finger-nails deep in her throat 'told the^story of the crime.

Within a foot of the murdered woman lay her babe' peacefully sleeping, not having been aroused by the dying struggles of the m«»ther. Physicians were hastily summoned. All efforts to restore Mi's Cowles were fruitless. Life had been effectually chok'ed from her body, but the corpse was still warm, showinc thai the crime wa* committed only a few minutes before.

While a body of meu scoured the community iu search of the perpetrator of the'foul deed the body of the banker was taken up and placed on the lied alongside that of his wife. Then it was discovered that some life remained. After repeated efforts he was restored to consciousness, lie described the murderer as Jive feet eight iuche» high, well dressed arid having jet. black hair. The villain did not speak during the struggle, and as tlie period prior to owles being knocked senseless was so brief he bail little opportunity to observe his assailant.

Investigation developed the fact that robbery was the motive for the crime. The house had been thoroughly ransacked for a' un bles. So complete was every recpfacle supposed to eontain money searched that it is certain that- more than one burglar figured in the crime, as the time allotted for the work after the screams of Mrs ow les were heard was exceedingly brief. Not more than twenty minutes elapsed alter the screams wore heard before the neighbors burst open the front door to gain admittance. Fifty dollars was secured from the pockets ol the banker and as much more from the drawer of the dresser. 1 he jeweiry case of Mrs. Cowles win taken. It contained a gold watch, diamond brooch-pin and a few minor articles of jewelry. The sum total of the booty obtained by the burglars could not have been over ^SQO.

The

imprints of muddv feet could be observed on all the carpets in the houfcC. A panel of the kitchen door had been neatlv removed, showing the work of experts. A quantity of silverware had been piled in the middle of the dining-room floor. Evidently this was accomplished by the burglars before going to the bedchamber. and alter the screams of Mrs. Cowles thev had not time to remove it I he jewelry case, emptied of its contents, was found a few yards from the house, as if hastily dropped by the murderer"-. 1 he stricken husband immediately ottered a reward of $1,000 for a clow to tin' murderer or murderers and SiOU for their capture Every man in the entire village is searching the I surroundmir eountrv f«»r the burglars or I chtWSi^'.T
