On May ISth, 1S92, one of the most disastrous caveins ever known in the Joplinminingdistrict occurred at what is known as the Troup mines. Three men were carried down with the mass of dirt and buried alive.

Several attempts were made to recover the bodies of the unfortunate victims of the disaster, but without success, until William Leckie of the Leckie Foundry commenced work and search for tha bodies in August, 1S92, but on account of the dangerous condition of the ground made slow progress with no reward for his efforts until about 5 o'clock on Tuesday afternoon, when a bunch of hair was found by one of the workmen, and shortly afterwards the head of one of the victims was un covered, but it was five hours from this discovery before the body could be uncovered and taken out. It was identified as that of George Hamlin by his wife and brother, and was found in an erect position about 90 feet from the surface in a remarkable good state of preservation. Hamlin's tunoral took place yesterday. The search for the other bodies was pros ecuted vigorously yesterday and the fetid and sickening oders which permeates the air indicates that the end is near at hand. Our informant left the mines at five o'clock last night and the workmen were momentarily expecting to maka a discovery.

The Masonic Order of Kansas are making arrangements to erect a home to be dedicated towards providing a place where aged and broken down Masons and Mason widows and orphans can have shelter, from the buffeting with life's battle in a cold cruel world. The Grand Lodge has appropriated 3,000 and the Grand Chapter and Eastern Star, has signified their willingness in a substantial way to increase the amount to and the blue lodge has made a yearly assessment of one dollar upon each of its members to run for five years. There are now 20,000 Blue lodge members in the state and these at one dollar each per year for five years will make a sum of 8100,000 in itself, so it can be seen that the enterprise is a certainty. The location has not yet been selected, and the town that gets the home will ie a fortunate one as the building will be a credit and the grounds, will be arranged so that they will be pleasing to the eye, and attract attention. The Grand Lodge has concluded to locate in the town that will offer the greatest inducements as to location, etc.

In conclusion it would be a good idea for Pittsburg to look after this, as it would be a credit to our growing city in more ways than one. The 'ew Insurance Law. There was great opposition among the insurance fraternity to the passage of the valued policy bill by the legislature, but the bill passed just the same, and is a good bill. It was signed by the governor, but has not yet been published, and consequently is not a law. A Topeka Capital reporter yesterday called upon a number of the state general insurance agents, and asked their opinion concerning the effect the bill would have upon fire insurance in Kansas.

Some of them set up a great wail in their opinion of the effects the law would have, others honestly acknowledge that it was a good law, and would result for the benefit of the people, if it does cause a revolution in the insurance business, and that the talk of an enormous increase in rates for insurance was all nonsense; that property would be insured for less actual money, and thus ost the insured no more than before. The insurance companies have always had the best of their policy holders under the old law, who have had just as much reason to cry fraud as the insurance companies. Missouri has s.ich a law, so has Wisconsin, and the companies meet no difficulties in those states.
