Wilkeabarre Ph, Docftmber 17,
—The Steven® colliery in West
Pitlston, operated by Jenkins & Co
was the scene of considerable ex
citement at a late hour last night.
Shortly after 11 o’clock the en
gine-house was on fire. He made an
effort to extinguish ihe flames wi-S
a few buckets of water, but was
unsuccessful. The structure was
very dry and the fire made rapid
headway.
Lloyd was alone in the building
at the time and he remembered
that there were forty-six men in
the mine. Without losing any time
he ran to the telephone and gave
the alarm in the mine. The foot
man at the bottom of the shaft
told the miners to throw down
their tools and get on the cage car
as quick as possible.
By this time the firs had sur
rounded the engineer on all sides.
He patiently awaited the signal
to hoist the men to the surface. At
last he got the signal and brought
jup the cage with lighgning speed,
i Eigteen men were aboard,
The carriage was then returned j
to the mine for the second load of<
human freight. On thia ten men
were brought up. The side of the
building now collapsed aud the
burning timbers fell all around
the brave who sHll h«ld
the lever. Al Sst the remaining
men got ®n to* cage and in a few
minutes all were brought to the ®ur
face safely.
The engineer fainted frem the
excitement and exhaustion bu r ,
was quickly rescued by the maw
here of the local fire department,
who had now reached the scene.
He was badly burned about the
face aud hands, but will recover.
The fire caused damage to proper
ty amounting to about |3 000.

Feng-Huang
PORT ARTHUR OUTRAGES
Said to Have Been Greatly Ex
agerate. Soldiers in Citi

Been Slain, but no
Non-combatants
London, December 17.—The
Central News correspondent in
Antong telegraphed late in the
evening of December 14th :
In accordance with General
Nodzu’s instructions the Feng-
Huang garrison, which was con
fronted on December 12th by 4,-
000 Japanese, began the attack on
the enemy at daybreak this morn
ing.
The garrison was I,4<M) strong
and was commanded by Colonel
Tomoyaus. The main battle took
place at Yeh-Min-Shan, five miles
from Feng Huang. The Japanese
attacked with spirit and defeated
the Chinese, driving them to Tim
itsh.
The Japanese loss was three offi
cer? killed aud seventy private?
killed and w<'U r, ded. Too Chinese
lost 250 kill«d and wounded ami
thirty prisoners. T'r* Japß.u»ae
captured four field gun®. The Ch’-
ueso pri oners say th?t General
Ito Ind under him more than 4000
Kerin troops who are in every way
superior t<> the Chine?* soMrws
“Gsiieral ’’ajliuii’■» brigade is
now moving F ut.iwaidto turn
back the Kerin fu r , fives. No news
jsobtainable from the left division
of the first army, owing to tlio in
terruption of telegraph ic com muni
catioo. ”
The General News oorrespondeut
in Shanghai aays: ‘‘The first and
second Jaoanese armies are re
ported to be pufferifir greatly from
ttie cold,Chang Yiu Kung, presi
dent of the board of revenue, is
said, by native newspaper , ohave
be'-n appointed ambassador to
Japan with instructions tn
mgotiata peace.”
SAYS THE STORIES ARE EXAGGERATED
Washington, December 16. —A
telegram has been received at the
Japanese legation from the minis
ter of foreign affairs atTokio in re
lation to the atrocities alleged to
have been committed by Japanese
troops at the capture.of Port Ar
thur. The government at Tokio is
not in possession of full details of
the affair, but the information al
ready at hand shows conclusively
that some of the reports circulated
concerning the conduct of the Ja
panese were belli exaggerated and
misleading.
If there was any unnecissary
bloodshed, the telegram states, the I
Japanese government cannot but
believe that there must have been
some inciting cause, for the be
havior of the Japanese troops in
the enemy’s country has hitherto
been most exemplary, at times un
der circumstances calculated to ex
cite feeling of the deepest resent
ment and animosity.
It is known to be a fact that the
great majority of those Chinese j
who were killed at Port Arthur
were not peaceful inhabitants, but
Chinese soldiers disguised in civil
ian dress. Most of the inhabitants
fled from the place several days he-1
fore its capture, and at the present,
have returned and are persuing ,
their ordinary vocations without
molestation or restraint.
The Japanese government has
no disposition to conceal any of
the facts, but, on th® contrary, has
ordered a strict invesrigation, the
result of which, it is stated, will
be promptly made public.

IN H!S OWN BEHALF.
Speaks of Love and Passion,
the oneofthe Soul. theOth
erofthe Body, the one
Elevating, the Oth
er Deg rading.
Lexington, Ky., December 17. —
The Leader publishes a letter from
General Cassius M. Clay to Sena
tor John IL Hodges, thanking the
latter for his indignant protest in
The Lexington Observer against
the discreditable treatment of the
illustrious abolitionist by certain
newspapers on the occasion of his
recent marriage to his fifteen-year
old-ward.
Senator Hodges’s editorials re
viewed General Clay’s voiderful
career and declared : “Had he lived
in the days of the Roman em
pire he would have passed into
history as the noblest Roman of
them all.” General Clay says:
in marrying a young girl and
a peasant 1 but exercised the privi
lege allowed the humblest citizen
of the republic, and to spend my
money as it pleases me to rule my
own household and nothing more.
“The disparity of ages is our
own business ami nobody's else.
My rigid regard for the physical
as well as the moral laws of the
situation places me beyond the
cavil of inferior souls, who criticise
me so severely.
After all, love and sensualism,
or passion, are as far apart as
night and day. Passion punishes
and may degrade, but love retines
and elevates. Love is immortal.
My experience in life shows me
th«t a youug girl may lore an old
man intensely, for love is of the
soul; passion of the body.”
