Interest attempt to kill Rassell Sage creased today by the arrest Rob- By Postal Telegraph to Tax Coumt. I Paris, Dec. 7. The report of a terrible mining disaster comes from St. EtienHe in the department of the Ixire.

An explosion of fire-damp occurred at noon today in one of the numerous coal pits in that legion, and many workers were unable to escapo from the mine. According to advices so far received eighty men perished in the pit. At midnight it has been ascertained that seventy-three miners perished. lyes, cmiaren ana relatives of the entombed miners surround the mouth of the pit, and most heartrending scenes are witnessed as the bodies of the victims are brought to the surface. If the accident had happened on an ordinary working day instead of on a fete day the loss of life would have, been much greater.

The rescuers are greatly harassed in their work by the collapsed which prevent access to the imprisoned men. The first miners taken out, eight in number, were in the waa in- of TV. D. Southworth, a man who sought to interest Harry Home, the dime musium lecturer, in an organization for the general betterment of mankind hy overthrowing monopolies. It was said yesterday that Southworth had gone to Central America, but he was found by Inspector Byrnes' men.

Southworth is undoubtedly a crank, and confessed that he had been an inmate of a lunatic asylum. He was taken to the morgue and shown the head of the dynamiter, who is supposea to have come from San Francisso, but he said he had never seen him in life. In that particular he contradicted the story of Home, who said the dead man introduced Southworth to him at the museum two months ago. One David B. Shaw called at police headquarters during the day and identified riouthwell as a man whom he met Oct.

9. Southworth unfolded a scheme for the organization of a secret society with branches in the large cities, South-worth to be the head of the society. The society was to he of a political nature and would promulgate the idea of getting the votes of the people to take away all telegraphs, railroads and other monopolies from individuals and place them in the hands of the eeneral government. In this conversation he referred repeatedly to Gould, Sage and other capitalists. He thought people ouu.ht to bo able to go to San Francisco for $1, and thought that there should be three or four meetings of the Bociety to get people interested in the scheme.

He said he owned property in San Francisco. Several days alter Shaw received a letter from Southworth asking him to meet him again. This he signed "Commander-in-Chief, Grand Army of Labor." Inclosed in this letter was a lengthy proclamation headed "Overland for One Dollar," and signed in the same characteristic way. Byrnes learned that the man came to the city t'o months ago and went to the Masonic temple. He then unfolded a scheme for a benefit charitable organization.

He had, he said, the co-operation of Senator Stewart of Nevada and the late Senator Hearst of California. He has joined the anarchists in San Francisco and received three grees the bine, white and red, red being the highest grade. After the visit to the morgue South-worth was closely questioned by Byrnes as to his past life. In iSS4 he was employed by the San Francisco Examiner and made speeches on topics of the day, especially on the labor problem. He was committed to an insaue asylum and remained there six months.

Byrnes today received the following from San Francisco: Will 1). Southworth is a civil engineer ard resided here between 188G and 1S39. His ag3 is 45 years, weighs 135 pounds, height 5 feet 6 inches. He was private secretary toClarence Greathouse, managing editor of The Examiner. He was a crank on the subject of railways.

He started a small paper and advocated government control and a rate across the continent for $1. While in the city he was subject to crazy spells and would often apply to the city prison to be locked up, owing to a fear that, in temporary madness, he would kill some one." Harry Home, the dime museum man, called at headquarters this afternoon. He and Southworth at once recognized each other. Tonight Russell Sage is said to be suffering from the effects of the fbock AT Private Dining Room For Ladies. caused by the explosion more than at any previous time.

While he does not suffer much pain, he is greatly prostrated, and it will probably be several days before he resumes active business. Sage's residence has been besieged by callers all day. Eartb.qo.ake 'Wonders. Yokohama, Nov. 2.

Via San Francisco, Dec. G. News of the earthquake continue to come in. Mr. Iguechi, director of the Gifu observatory, has been examining the district where the shock was most severe.

At this place, some years ago, holes appeared in the ground to which no bottom conld be found, and it was believed they communicated with immense cavities far below. Mr. Iguechi now believes that the earthquake was caused by the Fujiva mountains slipping into these caverns. In the district of Ono an immense landslide took place, damming the Mina ri er. A lake is now forming which is already fifty feet deep.

Another large lake is forming in the same way by the Ashiba river. At Nagoya the earthquake was still going on inov. y. iseven nunarea ana thirty shocks were felt in the twenty preceding hours, lhis is more than two shocks per minute. The great want in the earthquake regions is shelter.

There is sufficient food to prevent actual starvation, but over 400.000 people are home less, with almost no clothing. Winter is rapidly approaching and the suffering will be very great. A section of about thirty miles on the railroad from Tokio to Kioto is bo much damaged that it will probably have to be entirely rebuilt and not be open again until' next June. A curious fact is that an anonymous writer sent a letter to the cabinet two months ago, announcing that a national calamity would take place on Oct. 23.

This "was the very day of the earthquake. letter ia preserved in the government archives and is undoubtedly authentic. San Mall Steamer Wrecked. Francisco, Dec. 7.

Orapeland Editor Courier Knowing that you solicit news items from different sections of the county, a few notes irom our enterprising community will probably not be out of place. We are at present being visited by a disagreeably cold north wind, and from our elevated position can see clouds of dust rolling in vaiious parts of the county that are unfortunate enough to have sandy soil.

Only about half an inch of rain fell here during the recent rainstorm, hardly enough to start the plows of the grain sowers. The jackrabbits are being exterminated at a lively rate in and around Grapeland since the law was pat-ted placing a bounty on their scalps. There have been about 300 scalps taken in this vicinity and jackrabbits are becoming exceedingly scarce, much to the satisfaction oi the fruit and raisin growers. Mr. Will Henderson has a curiosity in his orchard in the form of an apple tree.

It is laden with beautiful blooms, ripe apples and apples at all stages of growth fiom a marble up. Near tins a pie tree stands a peach tree in full bloom and from which the last of its crop of peaches was but recently picked. Mr. J. M.

Crawford is picking the fruit from tomato vines which he planted out. a year ago last spring. He pruned them in March last, cutting off the old woody runners and they immediately sent out new shoots and bloomed, and the toniatote matured in an amazingly short length of time, he having the first tomatoes of (he season. This is no unusual occurrence for Grape- land as her instances of the same kind can be cited. Mr.

A. G. Perdew had a tomato vine in his garden for four years and it bore heavy each year. Theee are sufficient proofs of our tropical climate. The engineers of the Arrowhead Reservoir company have completed the work of suryeying the line for the proposed pipe line around the foothills north of this place.

The line enters the foothills about a quarter of a mile west of the mouth of Ly tie creek canyon, and leaves them near the old Sanpavine place. The directors of the irrigating district will hold their regular meeting next Tuesday, at which important questions will bs discussed. Mr. G. F.

R. B. Perdew is putting a four barbed-wire fence around his eighty-acre tract. A thirty-inch wire netting will be placed around the bottom to make it rabbit proof. Mr.
