SILVER DOLLARS STOLEN. Peculations From Gorernment ;j - Express Packages. Theft of 'Treasury Funds En route From New Orleans. Born enterprfsing thief has been helping himself to bright, new silver dollars oat of the con that is being received dailj at the Washington Treasury from the New Orleans Mint The robberies were not mentioned outside of the Treasurer's office until Treas urer Hyatt called upon Assistant Secretary Thomson, who was tben Acting Secretary, ; and told him $hat somebody was stealing the Governments money. The Secret Service bureau was called intqjK-tion, and since then detectives have been hard at work trying to discover the thief. Details of the robbery are hard to obtain, but it is known that the thefts were at first of very fmall amounts. The coin comes to the Treasury in strong canvas bags holding; louo each. The bags are inclosed in heavy wooden boxes, which are carefully locked and sealed with a Government seal, which must be broken before the boxes can to opc-ned. The thief began by abstract ing only f 4 or to from a bajr, but he Eoon grew bolder, and when he took larger sums he replaced the coin with shot and lead of very nearly the same weight, so that the loss would not be quickly discovered when the bass were weighed. Investigation showed that the bro ken Government seals were replaced by im pressions of a silver twenty-hve-cent piece on the wax. As nearly as could be learned from the Treasury officers the total amount stolen is not yet known, but it is positively as serted that the sum will not exceed .j000. V hile the detectives have not run down the thief, it is declared ia the Treasury Depart ment that the robberies must have taken place while the coin was on the way from .T r,ean9 10 Washington, and in the care or the Adams Express Company, which is, t neref ore, held responsible for the loss. It is ar gued that if the money was stolen by any of the Government employes who handled it here or m Sew Orleans, the Government seal was at hand to replace the broken ones, and would have been used instead of the silver quarters. The coin boxes are supposed to be vry carefully guarded from the mo ' tnent they leave the mint until they reach the .Treasury vaults. in this city they are carried from the vcars to the Treasury Building in express wasons,which are reaily big steel cages, and armed representatives of the Treasury and the express company ride with the boxes in the aj:es. 1 he fact that a number of boxes were tampered with and on different occasions leads to the belief that there was collusion with either expr. ss company or Government em D.oyes, and that the robberies were part of a systematic plan by which it was hoped to ob--i" .more money by many small thefts wnu-n might escape discovery than by one big haul which would be at once found out v. lien one of the boxes was opened at the department a day or two ago it was found to contain nothing but shot A second box was opened and ono of the bags in it was found to contain nothing more valuable than lead. ' AN AWFUL SMASH. t Six Men Killed by a Stupid Break - man's Krror. A most disastrous wreck has occurred at Vnlley Falls, W. Va., on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. A heavy freights train had been sidetracked to let the lightning express from New York to Chicago pass, but by the mistake of an inexperienced brake- man the switch was left open.

Fatal Firedamp Explosion in a Kansas Colliery. Many Entombed Miners Meet a Dreadful Fate. A terrific mine explosion, that broke win dows in the little village of Pittsburg, Kan., and spread consternation among it inhabit ants, occurred at dusk. For a few mo ments the startled people scarcely dared to stir out of their buildings, the violence of the shock having been so great as to hurl dishes from their shelves and demolish chimneys. Ttt3 explosion occurred on tbe east side, and is attributed to the inexperience of some of the new men. Before the men outside could recover their senses, one of the miners ap peared at the air shaft, nearly suffocated. He was helped out and followed by others until a large number had escaped; how many is not known. Th6ra was plenty of help at hand, and those at the top devoted their attention to rescuing their entombed companions. Tbe fan house, only slightly damaged, was first repaired, canvas being tacked over the holes that bad to be closed. About 12 o'clock tbe fan house was ready and fresh air wai pumped into the mine, driving back the poisonous gas. The company had more orders than they could fill, and in their attempts to keep up they have been running an unusually large , force of miners. On the fatal morning 164 men were lowered into the mine. At noon the shot were fired all right, and later tbe miners descended for afternoon duty. At 5:o0 they were ready to fire their shots again. The first shot had been fired, but before a man could be hoisted a terrible rumbling noise was heard above, and a black cloud of dirt, slate and dust shot into the air from the mouth of the shaft, tearing away the tracks upon which the cages are hoisted and filling the shaft with flying debris. Attention was then turned to repairing the cribbing so that the cages could be lowered. Men lowered into the shaft hy rope and bucket, could accomplish nothing. At 2 A. M. the cage was ready to descend, and the first resetting party were lowered into the shaft. Owing to the bad air they could not remain long. On the first return of the cage it con tained a number of uninjured but badly de moralized men. The bottom of the shaft was badly damaged and it was difficult to get at the dead. As found they were piled together at the bottom, while the living and badly wounded were hoisted to . the top. At 4 a. m. five had been rescued, and at 1 P. M. four more were brought out alive. At this time they struck an entry containing twelve more dead, and at 2 p. M. twenty -five dead and nine wounded had been found, with many still missing, who were supposed to be dead. A large number of tbe killed are French and Italian miners. - A temporary hospital was prepared in a blackonith shop near by, where the most heartrending scenes were witnessed asfthe mangled and badly burned men were carried in. Late that afternoon ninety bodies had been recovered from the mines, and it was believed there were still forty-six entombed. There is scarcely a cottage in that town or in Frontenac that is not in mourning. Nearly every family in the two mining vil lages has lost a relative. The stores were closed, and the blinds of the cottages are tightly drawn. The only place of business open was the little undertaker's shop, which has been e'eare I of its stock of coffins. Streamers of crape flutter from the doors of cottages at every step, and the village bell was tolled without intermission from sunrise. For hours after the explosion the scene at the pit was distressing. Poorly clad women, with balies clasped to their breasts, came through the darkness in the light cast by the bonfires. One poor woman, whose hus band and two sons were in the pit, laid her three youngest children beside a blazing fire and then fell in hysterics among them. She lay unnoticed in this position until next morning, when she was removed to her home. The bodies of the victims that have been brought to the surface are all shockingly mutilated. Some are so disfigured as to be unrecognizable. There was nothing left of one man but a bleeding trunk, the head and the arms and the legs having been blown off. Many of the searchers fainted at their work Some of the victims were found buried be neath immense weights of slate, while others were discovered in groups and in all kinds of positions. Two men who have not yet been identified were so tightly locked in each other's arms that it was with great difficulty they were torn apart Only four men escaped from the mine alive and uninjured. The latest estimate the number of miners in the pit at ' the time of the explosion is 163. The explosion is now said to have been caused by fire damp. The principal difficulty in ascertaining the names of the victims of the horror lies in the fact that there was a larger number of new men who wee not known to the Pittsburg people, and many may never be identified.

The Yield of Cotton,Corn, Potatoes, Hay and Buckwheat. , The United States Department of Agri culture reports a good easoa for cotton picking during October In the Southwest and only moderately favorable weather tn the Atlantic coast States. The wet weather of September proved very in jurious to quality, prostrating plants and rotting bolls, causing blight and shedding, and injuring prospects of the top crop. There is much strained fibre and Quality is much poorer than that of tbe previous year. Picking was late commencing.but there has at yet been no killing frost, rendering possible a. partial compensation in tbe length of tbe season. Indications of yield per acre average the same as last year at this time, though the previous condition of the plant scarcely war rants the expectation of so much late growth and harvest outcome in November and December. The States west of the Mississippi report a slightly larger yield than last year, while Georgia, Alabama and Ten nessee indicate a slight reduction. Other States indicate nearly the same expectation at this date. The returns of the yield of corn indicate a yield per acre quite as large as that of 1885, and larger than any other crop since that of 18b0. The aggregate grown on a larger area will exceed that of any previous American product, beinz very dose to 2,000,000,000 bushels, or abou,fe thirty -two bushels per capita. The gejreral average will fall some what under tn-'enty-seven bushels per acre. There is a good supply of maize ia nearly all parts of the South, so that comparatively little will be required from the West. The yiej.is of tbe Atlantic States are moderate, seriously reduced by frost on the Northern border. Potatoes give an average of about eighty bushels per acre. The total product is about 195,000,000 bushels, or 61.aK),000 more than the estimated product of 1S87. The average yield of buckwheat is ap proximately twelve bushels per acre, and the crop nearly 11,000,000 bushels. Hay is slightly above an average in yield, or 1.22 tons per acre. It has been nowhere seriously injured by drought INDIAN OBQIES. A Winnebaffo Buck Sacrifices a Maiden to the Hunting God. Great excitement prevailed at Red Wing, Minn., over the report of a crime committed by some of the remnants of the old Winnebago Indian tribe which formerly was located on the Winnebago reservation.near Trempeleau, Wis. At the opening of the hunting season each year they indulge in certain ceremonies to procure a good season's : hunting. Having secured a quantity of ammu nition and fire-water, they began their orgies. During the dance and excitement a young buck, with his hunting knife in his hand, jumped into the centre of the ring of dancers, and seizing a young girl by the hair, dragged her into the centre and stabbed her several times in the breast. He then dabbled his hands in the warm blood which gushed from the wounds and smeared it over his face, which act was followed by several others. ALASKAN STATISTICS. Governor Swineford Reports Pro gress In Our Icy Possession. Governor Swineford, of - Alaska, reports to the United States Secretary of the Interior that the Territory is getting along nicely, and has 40,850 inhabitants, of whom 0500 are whites, 1900 Creoles and 2950 Aleuts. He urges that Congress make it pos sible for present squatters to acquire title to their land, and says if this be done the Territory will develop more quickly and satisfactorily. He describes the mineral re sources of the Territory, and says it has four teen public, eight Protestant, two Catholic and seventeen Groeco-Roman schools.

(From Daily Republiean-Binahamton, N". T.) As one of our City reporters was coming iown Chenango St., at an unusually late hour , last evening, his attention was attracted to the bustle and busy appearance in the large estab lishment of Dr. Kilmer & Co., and being some what of an inquisitive turn of mind he mus tered courage and rapped at the door a couple f times and succeeded in gaining admittance, Through the courtesy of one of the employes he was shown through the establishment and learned that, although they were working a night and day force, the firm was unable, at present, to supply the druggists' orders for "Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root Kidney, Liver and Bladder Cure." It is surprising to know th .t but a few years have now elapsed since the in traduction of this wonderful remedy, from which time its growth and sale have become marvelously large, not only in this country but also in many foreign lands.
