JOHNSTOWN IS AGAIN THE SCENE OF GREAT DISASTER. Johnstown. Pa., has again been Visited by an Apalling disaster. It is only less frightful than the awfu' calamity of May 81, 1889, in cost of life, but in its terrible consequences it has brought the shadow of sorrow in hundreds of homes made desolate by a mine explosion which took place in the Cambria .Steel Company rolling rolling mill mine, under the West* moot Hill at 12:20 o'clock this after 1 noon.- | How many are dead; It may take, several days to full determine, but, that It is a long and shocking list It certain,' It may reach $00 or more men. It was nearly an hour after the ex* 'plosion before any geberal knowledge ' of what had happened got abroad. Men who came from the mines, escap* ing with their lives, told th* terrible news aud it soon spread like wildfire all over the city. In scores of homes there were the most pathetic scenes! Mothers, wives, daughters, sons and relatives were frantic with grief. Hun dreds rushed io the Point, and with sobbing hearts awaited news that did not come from the ill-fated mine. The few survivors who have es* caped from the depths of the mine de* scribe the condition as frightful. Out side of the "Klondike" the mines are safe and uninjured. Within the fatal limits of the mine the havoc wrought by the explosion are such as beggar description. Solid walls of masonry three feet through were torn down as if they were barriers of paper. The roofs of the mine were demolished and not a door remains standing. * Plorodorti Club. Since school has closed the young people have organized a “Plorodora Club.

July 10.—Pat Fortner a young man about 20, year* of age, committed suicide here la*t night about 9 o'clock by taking strychnine. The cause that led up to the act, at far aa obtained, was that b<s father de sired him to assist in setting out some potato vine*. He told his people that the aun would not r »* again upon him a live mau. As soou as it was dis covered that he had swallowed the polsion medical aid waa summoned, but it was too late, the deadly drug had already done-Us work. He wy buried here this afternoon with mill< tary honors. Reduced to 18,000 Officers and Men. Within two or three months the Federal army of occupation in the Philippine archipelago will have been reduced to 18,000 officers and men. is regarded by-General Chaffee as ample force for all emergencies in the iilands. If the garrison of 18,000 is to. be re* garded as a’permanent feature of Philippine acquisition the average coat of the lalanda from a military view point may be fairly estimated. The troops in the Islands must be changed every two years, since no American could endure the tropical climate for a longer period without permanent physical injury. .This means that from 35,000 to 40,000 men must be con stantly under arms, one-half in the United States recuperating. These troops will cost not less than $40,000,- 000 a year, with an additional charge varying from $5,000,000 to $10,000,000, for the cost of transportation on land and sea. _ Tracey’s Chum Reported Caught. , Salem, Ore.,July 10.—Superintendent J.

Tbe emperor of Japan is one of the few poets who are content to write verses for their own pleasure rather than for tbe admiration of the public. It is said that he often composes 10,000 lines a year, but with a most praise worthy self-denial, rare among poets, he reserves them for his own private Tts ting Prof. Bridges’ School.

After some dickering they agreed upon the price, and Palmer calmly said that he would take about $10O,tMX) worth. It was a little larger bill than Stewart exactly cured to sell young Paltrier on credit, but be concluded to make the deal and told him to come In tbe next morning and arrange some final de tails. That night some big war newa came, and It didn't require any decla ration by the government to Inform ev ery dry goods man In the country that the price of goods would take a big spurt up. Stewart recognised It as soon aa he had the news, and he Immediate* ly thought of Puitner. He also thought pf the big bill of goods Palmer had ought of him.

He would almply tell Pal mer that he waa sorry, but that be didn’t feel that be could tell such a big bill on credit and as be knew that Palmer couldn't raise the cash Imme diately, why. that would end It. and the sale would be off. Well, young Palmer cnlled early, and Stewart greeted him In hi* very abrupt eet innn- ■, telling him how sorry he was. etc., but really he didn't th'nk It wire busi ness to extend .credit for such nn amount. •Just how much docs the bill come to?' said young Palmer, seemingly sor rowful-like. • *' 'Just $110,000,' Stewart replied, and then he straightway gullied for breath >ung Palmer drew an Immense pocketlKx»k from bis Inside vest pocket and, opening it, counted out tlO thou sand dollar bills aud. laying then! quiet ly on Stewart’s desk, said: ‘If you will kindly count them and give me a re ceipt, I’ll l»e obliged, as I must tnkc the next train home.
