SENT TO THEIR DEATH
PENNSYLVANIA MINERS KILLED
IN A CAVE-IN.
Kffort to Save the Twin Shaft Mln« ni
Plttnton Results In a'Tcrrlble DUasier
Work of Ko*uc Commenced—1.1st of the Imprisoned Men.
Wilkesbarre, Pa., June 29.—One hundred miners were caught Sunday morning under a fall of rock in the Twin Shaft mine at Pittston, nine miles north of here.
It is believed that, all perished instantly, but there is a possibility that some are imprisoned in the drift between two cave-ins. In that case they are confined in a small and almost airtight space, so that even the powerful fans cannot supply air enough to sustain life until the searchers can cut through the walls of debris.
If it prove that the men are dead sixty-three women will be left widows and 200 children be fatherless.
This is the most terrible mine accident which has occurred in the anthracite region since the great disaster at Avondale, this county, in 1SG9, in which 120 lives were lost.
The names of the English-speaking miners in the drift at the lime of the fall follow: M, J. Langan, inside superintendent L. ,1. Lycott, inside foreman Alexander MeCormick. lire boss Robert Haston, machinist: Thomas Murphy, driver boss Michael Costello, J. H. Ivelley. Michael CJaudhan, John Hart, James Bailey. Michael C'onnell, Daniel Ward, Frank Kelioe, James Cleary, Edward Buckley, John Casey, Edward Rogers. James Kehoe, James McDonald, Edward Dclaney. Cornelius McGuire. James Golden, M. O'Brien, Michael Hughes, Edward Kildav, James Burke. Patrick Rnane, Thomas Tenpenny, Michael R. fiaffney, Thomas Doing. Anthony Katie, J. W. Murphy. Owen Lee, Anthony Gordon, James Wall, Wall, his son Dominick O'Malle.v. Peter Martin, Michael Ford, Timothy Durbrick. Thomas Donipsev, Thomas Carlin, Patrick Gibbons, John O'Boyle. Peter Joyce. Anthony Gordon, John Gill, John Gaffnoy. Daneil Gavin, P. S. Kelly, ,15 years old Hoistrich, Joseph Zurindo, Tony Tollaski, Peter Savoskiz, Andrew Slovinski, Simon Maskovitz. John Cadanizky.
Aside from these there are between fifty and sixty Huns and Poles whose names cannot now be ascertained.
The twin shaft operated by the Newton Coal company, the principal stockholders of which live in Philadelphia, is an old mine, bui the output has always been large, ^onte two weeks ago it was noticed that the mine was "squeezing"—that is to say, the surface was pressing hard on the props and pillars. Steps were at once taken to stop ft. Heavy timbers were put in and every precaution was taken to prevent a cave-in.
Friday it was thought that the "squeeze" had been arrested, but Saturday it began to "work" again. The principal trouble was in the red ash or lower vein of coal 1,500 feet from the shaft. There were two hea\y falls on Saturday afternoon and it was thought, dangerous to enter that part of the mine.
At S o'clock in the evening Inside Superintendent Langan concluded that something would have to be done and done quickly if it was hoped to save the inside workings from destruction. Accordingly he issued orders to get a party of the most expert miners together to make an effort to prevent further damage to the mine. Calls were sent out and at 9 o'clock that night about 100 men had gone down the mine.
Nearly all of them knew the great risk they were "running, but they argued thus: "The superintendent and foreman are with us if they do not hesitate to go in, why should we?"
The men worked hard and faithfully until a little after 8 o'clock, when, probably without warning, the roof on the 1,000-foot slope where the men were at work fell in.
The concussion was so great that it was felt for a distance of four miles. The foundations of nearly every house in Pittston were shaken, and the citizens first thought a violent earthquake had taken place.
Immediately after the accident occurred there was a call for volunteers Two hundred men responded at once and, despite the great dangers sure to be encountered, entered upon the work of rescue. The men were divided into relief gangs of forty each, for the work is very tedious, as the roof has to be propped as fast as the men work their way through the debris.
The danger from fire and choke damps is incredibly great, as the Twin shaft is krown to be subject to these gases e-:.cept under favorable condition of vent iation. Any minute may thrust the res mors into a pocket of firedamp and result in a terrible explosion.
The greal est excitement prevailed about the mouth of the shaft all day. The relatives of the imprisoned men gathered in large numbers and their grief was pitiable. "Oh. my dear husband." "Oil, my poor papa," were the cries of anguish heard. Manj -f the women swoonet. and had to be carried awaj. Some knelt, on the wet ground and prayed that their loved ones might be brought out alive.
At last the excitement became so gieat that a special police force was sworn in to keep the crowd back.
At 12:25 clock there was another lall in the slope. It drove the rescuers hack. The tw-:.fy feet of ground they had gained since 8 o'clock was thereby lost.

THE DISCOVERY OF QUININE.
Production of the Preient Day and Method! of t7ie. In a company of prominent physicians each was asked to write the six remedies that he would take on board ship for a voyage around the world if his life were to depend on the number who should return alive, says the New York Independent. The first entry was "opium," unanimously indorsed. At the second entry tbe vote was a tie between "mercury" and "quinine," and now that the bichloride of mercury has been found to be tl.c most efficient of microbe killers probably that would have second place unanimously and the third would certainly be given to the various extracts of the bark of the several varieties of the cinchona, of which the most familiar is quinine, a name defved from^that used by the Peruvian ledians, who called the trees kina. The old fashioned method of administration was by macerating the "quills" of bark in wine and the great tonic in the early part of this century was "bark and wine," and as in these later days it has been demonstrated to be directly fatal to the bacillus malaria we can easily understand what a boon it was to the "settlers" in the undrained and "fever and ague" regions of this country when new. At last, by the advance of chemical skill, the secret of extracting its alkaloids was found, and of these no less than thirteen are known and used, and some of them produce a valuable medicine at a less cost than quinine itself. In 1S51 the Dutch government undertook to raise the tre'3 in the island of Java and now they have most prosperous plantations, but the most extensive and successful of what may be called intelligently conducted plantations are to be found on the slopes of the Himalayas and in British Burmah. In South America the bark ts obtained by first stripping the trunk, Uien felling the tree, but under English botanists in India a way is found of partially stripping the trunk and then surrounding it with moss, causing fresh bark to be produced. The botanists have even found a way of making the bark fuller of the desirable alkaloids.
LIFE INSURANCE SWINDLERS.
A Neiv Rrand of Fraud Abetted ly Unscrupulous Medical Practitioners.
The discovery has just been made by the medical examiners of some of the leading life-insurance companies that an unscrupulous class of practitioners are making a business of "doctoring" diseased applicants for policie.s so they can deceive the agents of the companies, and thereby swindle those organizations, says the New York World. So extensive has this nefarious practice become that it is proposed to hold a convention of insurance examiners for the purpose of devising plans to counteract it. Heart troubie, for instance, is one of the commonest causes of rejection for life insurance. The stetho scope, under ordinary conditions, show the condition of the heart, but. it has been found possiblo to "doctor" a man who is suffering from, say. valvular insufficiency of heart murmur, so that for the time being the heart acts in a perfectly healthy manner and would bo passed by the keenest examiners as all right. In like manner it is possible to administer medicaments that will hide all evidence of Bright's disease, provided it is not too far advanced. And the same thing is true of persons suffering from diabetes and many other diseases. The question is a most important one, not only for the companies, but for bona-fule policy-holders, and it probably will be made a subject of legislation In every state in the Union.
Marriage lottery.
He looked happy enough as ho walked up to the postoffice box, set a huge bundle on the floor and began taking pretty square envelopes therefrom, dropping them by twos and threes in the box. "Big lot of letters," remarked the policeman. "Nice day, too." "Letters!" said the happy man. "My dear fellow, those are not letters. They are wedding invitations."
A stern look came over the face of the hitherto friendly policeman. "My friend," he said, "I am sorry to disturb you. But I must do my duty. Come with me." "Arrested "Yes. "On what charge, sir? This is an outrage." "Not at all. You are advertising a lottery through the mails."
