Bured forty-Six Days.
Raleigh Evening Titnea.
Ely, Nevada, Jan. 19. After
having been emtorabed forty-six
days, one thousand feet below the
surface in the Alpha shaft of the
Giroux mine, A. I). Bailey P. J.
Brown and Fred MeDouald were
rescued last night. Whistles all
over the camp blew loudly, while
crowds cheered in Uie streets of
Ely to the ringing of bells.
"Ah,'' was the only word of
Bailey, the first to reach the outer
air. He tottered forward into the
arms of comrades, who in a few
minutes recuperated him.
"Is that you, Arthurt" queried
Fred McDonald, as his brother
stepped forward and embraced him
after nearly seven weeks of sep
aration.
"liy George, It certainly seems
cood to be out of that hole,?' he
said as he was was led away, tell
ing his brother of his terrible ex
perience.
"Somebody give me a chew of
tobacco," said Brown, with a laugh
as he was led from the mine shaft
to the change room of tne mine
where the three men were made
comfortable.
CITIZEN'S GREET THK MEN.
The news that rescue was near at
hand reached Ely from the mine
shortly after 11 o'clock yesterday
and many citizens went to the
mouth of the shaft to greet the men
Many hours passed while the crowd
waited and the entombed men and
their rescuers dug vigorously to re
move the earth that blocked the
mouth of the 1,000 foot tunnel
Finally the anxious crowd arouud
the shaft heard the bell si
"hoist away," and a loud cheer
burst forth. The basket soon rose
to the surface, bearing one of the
rescuers Supporting' Bailey. Mrs
Bailey was not present, as one of
her children was sick. As soon as
Bailey was provided with clean
clothes he hurried home supported
by friends.
Another shout of joy greeted
Fred McDonald, and when the last
man, Peter Brown, came out the
crowd became almost hysterical,
realizing that the long entombment
was ended.
SHAFT CAVED IN.
On the morning of December 4th
McDonald, Brown and Bailey and
two Greeks were working in the
bottom of a shaft 8" feet below the
surface. The shaft caved in, snap
ping the shaft and hurling thous
ands of tons of rock and timbers
into the shaft. From the bottom
of the compartment in which the
men were working to the pumping
station, a series of rickety ladders
offered the only means of egress.
With falling rocks and timber
streaming down on them the 5 men
struggled up these ladders. Half
way up falling timbers knocked the
two Greeksfrom the ladders, kill
ingthem. Bailey, McDonald and
Brown leached the pump station
Its timbered roof with stood the
rock and timber that came dow
the shaft and offered them a safe
prison where for a whole day the
men crouched, while at intervals
rocks and timbers kept crashing
about them, threatening momenta
rely to crush the deep tomb.
Sl'HTAINKD HY A rH'K.
At first it was thought on th
surface that all live of the men had
perished, but twenty-four hours
after the accident the three buried
men managed to make themselves
heard by tapping on a sixinc
water pipe that reached from th
pumping station to the surface
Communication was establishe
w ith the world above and food and
drink were plentcously loweret
through the pipe. A large sup
ply was sent down, as it was fear
ed the pipe might be broken be
fore the rescuers could reach the
imprisoned men. But throughout
the long weeks of imprisonment
this pipe was daily used. A por
table telephone was lowered and
the men were able to talk with
people above. This telephone car
ried from friends news of the world
and messages of cheer, and from
the buried men reports of nether
conditions.
Clearing the debris was slow
work, as timbers, rocks and earth
were so twisted together that a
new shaft had to le cut formost of
the 1,000 feet. At no time did the
entombed men suffer greatly ex
cept for the distastefulness of their
forced seclusion.

Takes a Dare and is Killed.
Dan Gregory, a young man, 25
years of age, of near Davidson, this
county, is in jail on the charge of
killing his old father, Zeke Gregory,
with an axe Thursday near Davi
dson on the Christenbury place,
where they lived together.
Incarcarated iu jail with Ben
Gregory is his wife, who was ar
rested with him last nigh at Moore-
ville.
When seen in afternoon by
News man, both of them denied
knowing anything about the mat
ter. They have not as yet em
ployed a lawyer.
Mrs. Gregory said that she left
home early in the morning after
hearing the old man Gregory am
her husband quarreling. Said tiiat
she went away from home bare
footed, and that her husbam
caught up with her after she had
gone about a mile and a half.
The killing occurred Thursday
about 2 o'clock, and immediately
Coroner Gresham was notified, and
he left for the scene this morning
to investigate the matter.
It is alleged by some that after a
brief quarrel, that Dan Grogory
drew a line across the yard ana
dared his father to cross it, and
that when he did s the son struck
him a fatal blow ni the head.
1 he news of tnp tragedy was
heard by Town Marshal Johnson
ofDavfdson, who went at once to
the home of theold man, and found
him apparently dead, and no one
else at home. He soon found the
man's wife down in a swamp wail
ing, "they done it, they done it.'
Marshall Johnson left at once on
the trail of the fugitives. He found
Dan Gregory and his wife at Moore
sville, where they had gone after
the killing, and he at once proceed
ed to bring them to Charlotte and
lodge them in iail, and notify the
coroner.

Birds and Weather.
Cleveland Leader.
Wild creatures of the fields and
forests can do so many things im-
Hjssible to men and women, in
seeing, hearing smelling, especially
n finding their way home by the
id, it appears, of some othersense
or source of guidauee that it is easy
to credit them with foreknowledge
of nature which is wholly beyond
human powers. The lielief that
this soealled instinct of beasts and
birds is sufficient to read the sec-
ets of the seasons far in advance
is quite common among men. It
will lead many who hear that rob-
bins and bluebirds have been seen
in Northern Ohio in the last few
days to cheerish confident hopes of
a very mild winter throughout,
an early spring.
But the birds do not know what
the weather is goiug to be. Over and
over that has been proved in sea
sons of abnormal warmth, chang
ng later to intense cold. The song
birds of early spring come far
north in very open Januaries, only
to be killed by blizzards in Febru
ary or March. The birds follow
the weather, instead of foretelling
it. They move with the season or
the seeming changes of the year.
They go where there is food, where
the weather is mild enough to per
mit them to get enough to eat. In
localities where there are special
stores of cedar berries or animal
life all winter, robbins sometimes
remain through the fiercest cold
0j Maine or Canada. Many birds
go south in the autumn not to es
cape cold, but to find food.

As Regards Importation of Liq
uor in States.
Washington, I). C, Jan. 18.
The Senate Committee eu Judiciary
took up today the various prohi
bition measures before it and heard
Senator Tillman on his bill regulat
ing the importation of liquor into
one state from another. He argued
that it was competent for Congress
to take in hand this question and
relegate it to the control of the
states as nolice power.
Senator Tillman begged thecom-
mittee not to delay in reporting the
bill. "Get it into the senate," he
urged and let the senate deal with
it." Asked to discuss the wisdom
of the measure he declined, saying
that "any student of human af
lairs will tell vou that whiskey is
the most potent as well as the most
prolific cause of crime and misery
in operation in this or any other
country," and he believed it nec
essary to invoke the power of fed
eral government to perlect the re
gulation of traffice in states which
already have acted in that direc
tion.

A diguitied gentleman was try
ing to read in a crowded railroad
train. Among the passengers was
a lady with a sprightly little blue
eyed girl with golden hair and an
inquisitive tongue. She asked the
dignified gentleman numerous
questiens, played with his watch
chain and endeavored to determine
by means of the buttons on his
waistcoat whether he was rich man,
poor, man, beggar man or thief.
The mother fairly beamed upon
him. He was becoming nervous
and, turning to the lady, said:
"Madam what do you call this
little child!"
"Ethel," replied the mother,
with a mile.
"Please call her, then."

It doesn't matter what a majori

and resolutions aud will be no more

in the recent prohibition election

Keonsha, Mich., Jan. 17. Rev
William Mcl'heters, formerly pas
tor of a Washington, D. 0.
church, has been dismissed by the
Presbyterian Church ofthis village
because he called the women of
the church "a Hock of cackling
parrots."
That remark was the only direct
cause of his departure, but his con
gregation has been offended by
many other criticisms contained in
his sermons recently. Raleigh

A telephone company in Indiana
recently received a request to furn
ish and set a telephone at the head
of a grave in one of the local ceme
teries. The woman who wante
the instument is a strong believer
in Spirituaism and holds frequent
conversations with the departed
relative. As she cannot talk with
the dead, unless she is at the gray
she conceived the plan which
would relieve her of the necessity
of making trips to the cemetery.
