The bitter experience of young Thornton Giles, of Spcfford, N, Y., who was soundly drubbed a few days ago by Misses Mary and Alice Snow, for strewing tacks in their' cycle path, has convinced him that the new wo man is master of the situation. Young Giles is opposed to lady cyclists, and less than a month ago discontinued his at tentions to Miss Mary Snow be cause the young woman persist ed in riding a wheel contrary to his wishes. Since then Giles has been sullen and morose. When in company with his as- snriates he rerjeatedlv declared that the sight of a woman on a wheel was a disgraceful one, and no young man should encourage it. Miss Mary Snow often heard what her former sweetheart said about her bicycling habit, and she and her young sister, Alice, sought to taunt the young man by appearing on their wheels more frequently than usual. While taking their favorite spin Giles was seen emerging from the woods at the roadside, some distance ahead of them, and, walking briskly in the centre of tlfe road, scatter somes thing upon the ground. He then seated himself upon a rock to view the young woman as they passed. Just before reaching the point where Giles made his appearance the fair cyclists turned to one side of the road and soon dismounted. Quantities of carpet tacks were scattered about, ready to puncture the tires of their wheels, had they not halted when they did. "Alice," said Mary to her sis ter, "Thornton Giles is. the author of this; let us teach him a lesson." Without further delay the two girls seized clubs at the roadside and beat young Giles until he begged for mercy. A wagon ap peared, but this did not deter them from continuing their pun ishment until Giles had begged their forgiveness again and again and promised to gather up the tacks he had strewed. This he did, as best he could, while the Misses Snow stood guard over him. and, when the work was finished, Giles lost no time hastening from the scene. When the girls' parents learned what had transpired they com mended them for their conduct. TWO MEN SHOT FROM AMBUSH. A Homicide Growing Out of The Famous Slaughter Lynching. In Alleghany county, N.

THE MEN WERE REPAIRING PORTION OF IT WHICH WAS IN A DANGEROUS CON DITION. ?HILE ninety miners Oand other employes, making" a total of one hundred men, were at work in the Red Ash vein of the Twin shaft, at Pittston, Penu., about 3 o'clock Sunday morning, the roof caved in, and it is believed that all of the men perished. About forty of the imprisoned men were English speaking men, the oth ers foreigners. The men were at work prop ping up the roof when the fall occurred. The alarm was im mediately given by the ringing of the fire bells, and rescuers were put to work without delay. More than two thirds of the vic tims were married men, and leave families. About two weeks ago the sur veyors reported to General Super intendent Law that the mine was "squeezing," and that unless steps were immediately taken to timber it a cave in or fall might be looked for. Superintendent I.!hv at once out a number of timbermen at work to brace the falling roof. The "sqeeze" con tinued, however, and the situa tion became alarming. A slight fall occurred, and the men who were at work had to retreat be fore it. A consultation of mine officials was then held, and it was decided that heroic measures would have to be resorted to prevent heavy damage to the mine. Inside Superintendent Langan gave instructions that the most experienced miners should be secured, and that the party would go down the mine at 7 o clock Expert timber men put in an ap pearance at that hour, and were soon lowered into the workings. They made their way to Red Ash vein, 1,500 feet down the slope. The work of propping proceeded rapidly until n o'clock .when another fall occurr ed. It made a low, rumbling noise, and the flying coal and debris drove the men back. Then the "squeeze" ceased again, and the men thought it was safe to resume work. They labored on until 3:20 o'clock, when, it is supposed, the roof fell in without warning, making a tremendous crash. It is supposed, however, that the men were not all together, but some near the slope, and these probably ran up the incline when the fall occurred. This is the only way the finding of Mayo Langan 's body in the slope can be accounted for. If the men received any warning, they had time to run up the slope, but not to any great distance. The fall ing rock and coal filled up the slope and the adjoining gang- ways, completely shutting on an avenues of escape. It was at first supposed that the men might have escaped be ing caught in the fall, and that they were imprisoned behind the debris. It is possible that living men may still be behind the fall, although it is extremely improb- able. Even if they escaped De- The Foot of a Fly ft av an eminent English doctor, "will carry enough poison to infect a house hold " In summer-time, more espec ially, disease germs fill the air, mu t IUUVJ w . on nfected. tall ill, cue .

For salo by all dngista at 50c and inir crushed by the falling roof, the possibility of their being alive for any length of time in a gaseous mine is remote. The work of rescue was prompt and efficient. The best miners who remained on the surface joined voluntarily in the hazardous task for hazardous it certainly was. There was the constant menace of another fall or an explosion of fire lamp. Special efforts were made to keep the air fan in good order, so if, by any chance, the men were alive tney should have fresh air to breathe. The blocked slope and gangways held out little hope of the air reaching them. The rescuers were divided into three relays of .forty men each, under the direction of Mine Foreman Alexander McMullin. The men worked as they had never before 111 clearing away the debris in the slope with the energy that only sgrings of the knowledge of dear lives behind it. They made good headway, considering the difficulties they had to contend with. Young Sheridan, the water boy, who had such a narrow ess cape, tells a thrilling tale of the disaster. He thinks there was an explosion of gas, which blew down the newly erected timbers and caused the cave in. When he left the mine to go out the slope and get water those inside had no apprehension of a fall or a "squeeze." Everything was working uic ly and the men exs pected to be out of the mine within another hour. "The report of the fall," says the boy, "was like a hundred cannon, and the force of it blew me fully twenty-five feet. I was hurled against the side of the slope. A piece of rock hit me back of the head, the wound commenced to bleed and then I fainted." Richards and Gill, who were on their vvay after timber, concur with Sheriday that the concus sion was terriffic. They were knocked off their feet and banged against some brattice work. They cannot conceive the possibility of anybody being in the wreck and esciping with his life Feed The Nerves Upon pure, rich blood and you need not fear nervous prostration.

YOUNG LADY LOCKED IN AN AIR-TIGHT VAULT. SAVED BY HER LOVER. He Speeds to a Departing Train for her Father. The Girl Revived. fift$ thrilling episode is res 1$mM ported from Barbours- ville, Kentucky, which would be deemed almost improbable if seen on the stage, but the occur rence verifies the old adage that "Truth is stronger than fiction." The fair heroine, Miss Rosa Candiel, daughter of a prominent local banker, accompanied by her affianced and others, visited her father's bank, aud while there the party examined the safety vault. The young man, Mr. J. H. Bailey, stepped in, the door was closed and he stood within the vault. In a moment the door was opened and he emerged. Then the young lady stepped in, the door was closed, but by some unfortunate movement the com bination lock was touched and she was imprisoned. A safe repairer near him who had fixed the lock, was appealed to, but he had forgotten the com bination and could render no as sistance. 1 he only person hav ing the combination was the young lady's father, and he was at that moment a mile away, stepping aboard a railway train to leave on a trip. There was but one hope. Mr. Bailey jumped on a bicycle and, with a loved one's life hanging on his speed, he flew to the rail way station with the wings of desperation. He made the mile to the train in a moment almost, although to the rider and the other anxious ones it seemed an age. The train was pulling out as he rushed up and excitedly informed the father of his daugh ter's peril. The father rushed back, and then, trembling with tear and apprehension, read the combina tion as the safe repairer turned the knob. The first trial was fruitless, the doors refused to open. Then it was tried again and this time the doors yielded. The young lady lay inside appar ently dead, but after some time was revived by medical men. Miss Candiel was imprisoned for forty minutes, and stated, when revived, that she heard the . ...... eflorts to release her, but the air w constantly more suffocating and when tlle father's first aU , . , . i n .t. 1 t lempi 10 open me vauu sue lui consciousness and knew no more until she saw the anxious faces Df friends bending over lier. lhere 13 110 doubt that Mr' Bailey made the fastest mile ever wheeled in Barboursville, and tie first where the stakes were a woman's iife and love, which he most nobly won.
