A special of Sunday from Wilkos- barre, Pa., says: There is just a possi¬ bility that some of the men entombed in the Twiu shaft at Pittston may be taken out alive. Tho resetting party has reported to the mine foreman, O’Brien, that they heard rappiugs on tho rails of the gangway road, which may have been caused by some of the entombed men. The rappiugs were clear and distinct, ns if somo one had struck the rail with a bard substance. Tho supposed signal was auswered by the rescuers in the same manner. After a short silence tho answer came clear mid distinct. The sound seemed to come a distance of 300 feet from where tho rescuers were at work. At 7 o’clock Sunday night the res- cuers reported that in their opini on they are within 400 feet of tho eu- tombed men. The shifts , have been increased from tvveuty men to thirty- five, who aro relieved every half hour. They are still cutting through the rook and progressing mom rapidly than at any lime since the work has commenced. A BRUTAL MURDER. John McCullough Charged With Kill¬ ing Ills Wife.

In the vicinity of tho town ot Verdi, Ual., the highways have been completely ruined for carriagepur- poses by ponderous road engines wiiich aro used by the lumbermen. They are larger and heavier than the largest railroad locomotives. ’They pro el themselves and draw from eight to a dozen great cars aden with timber from nearby forests for swjtJSSs MoMlIr tows, run,,in, m» tl.oir .,„i,.oe, wh.c'i i.n 6' 6, As tne luin.ur m.oi.- st!, Y ot A erd 1 . t 10 ci ] * eir carriage drives bling, striding and the have liberties never ot the g roa<3^- r n«v^r) | gmes. Without the flanges tne wheels would slip, as the engines „ go up and down the steep grades—so steep that it would not pay to cart t.lie timber with either horses or oxen. The engines cost groat sums of money, and are only practicable be¬ cause there are millions of dollars’ worth of timber upon ihe hillsides. So they wore created for a special purpose and are altogether too pon- lerous and expensive to serve any other purpose. They are supported and propelled by three wheels, all driving wheels connected with the same cylinders (two in number) and guided by the single wheel placed directly in front of the boiler head. In order that this wheel may bo used ns a steer¬ ing wheel a serios of ingenious ball joints, permitting a swivel in any direction, connect the cranks with the rods. A cab containing the steering gear, a horizontally placed wheel similar to those used upon book and ladder trucks, is placed directly over the boiler head. The pilot is also en¬ gineer. The throttle, reversing lever, whistle and guages are ranged about this cab in convenient form. At the rear is another cab, usod by the iiro- man, also set up with gauges and valves. Wood is the fuel used and wood stations and tanks located overy mile or two along the road do away with the necessity of towing a large tender, and the only incumbrance to the machino, aside from its load, is a small tank strapped upon the boiler, rose mbling the camel-back engines used in railroad yards for shifting. The connection between engine and train is made with chain, the tongue of each wagon fitting in a traveler upon the rear axle of the preceding wagon. A Sunflower Clock. Kansas has often been called the Sunflower State—a title more than ever appropriate since the foreman upon Governor Motley’s farm con- structed his sunfiowor clock. Choos¬ ing an enormous sunflower, he at¬ tached to its drooping head a tiny cornstalk, not more than ten feet long. About tho plant he drew a circle, and divided it into twenty-' four parts, each of which was subdi¬ vided for minutes and seconds. And now, as the faithful plant from dawn till dusk eyes its fierce lord, the cornstalk pointer moves about the dial indicating the time. The used sun- flower clock can also be ns a stop watch to time races by holding over it a big umbrella, w'bich checks the revolution upon th stant, when tho time to a tracts a second may he read off on oi^H tl£ Never try to cover auothor^^H up and thereby make 1.00 A Tear. aiiS to Cavannah Short Lines 1 a usen t/cr sch edule*. 18'4^| KFKI'TTIVt; MAV 24. | No. No. | i NY .11). 17. i I P Ml A Ml L'r>iLv.STVRnj| 8 301 7 1)05) 8 05 Mfl(J !lO.TJi 10 08 9 401 131 1 e fiiJB 9 1 ...
