a Thrilling Adventure.
Cumbebland, Md., AngustSl. Forty
five men were at work in the Allegheny
mine, thirteen miles from Cumberland,
belonging to the Consolidated coal com
pany, yesterday when the wall between
it and the worked out Boston or JEtnn
mine gave way from pressure of water
in the old mine. It flowed t-tcndily in a
strong stream over four feet in depth
and there were strong fears for the men
inside. Hours passed before any relief
could be obtained by the men inside,
aud outside the depp concern of wives
and children and loving friends was de
picked on every counteuauce. Finally
the water had subsided to a depth that
would allow entrance to the mine, nnd
Jf. P. Meein, the mining ua::iueer of
tho company, started in alone
iu search of the imprisoned men,
none of the outsiders beiu w illing to
venture. After wading through the
water against a strong current up to his
arm pits and over au irregular bed I.SOO
feet, he came to a group of forty-three
men, who told him of a man nnd boy
being in a distant room. No one would
go to their relief. He stin ted on anew,
and finding the two, placed the loy on
his shoulders and bidding the man to
follow, turned back and joined the
group. The men seemed terrified and
without judgment They declined to
go forward until after nmcl: persuasion
and then only afier Meem had taken
tiie lead with the child on his
shoulders. Fortunately all escaped.
The water was an accumulation
of years and it is still flow
ing nt considerable depth though with
less force. The loss to the coal com
pany is said to bo heavy. The full ex
tent will not be ascertained until the
water has subsided. Meein's conrage
in entering the mine, his spirit and the
hopo ami encouragement he gave the
ou tombed miners when he met them,
may be justly considered their salva
tion. He is certainly the beneficiary
to many a loving heart in homes that
would lie grief-stricken, where widows'
tears and orphans' cries would prevail iu
place of joyful and thankful hearts.
A Fearful lller.

A Tlk Willi Vr.. lBn.
Chicaho, August 2S. Mrs. John A.
Logan was here yesterday on her way
to the Milwaukee (i. A. R. encampment,
where bhe will bo the guest of the de
partment of Illinois. She was accom
panied by General and Mrs. Alger. To
a repoitcr she said:
"I felt that I could not nllow single
meeting of the G. A. 11. to pass without
seeiug it. You know that General Lo
gan wns so much of a Grand Army man;
was so engrossed with it nnd everything
concerning it, and then I have so many J
old time frienilsaiid acquaintances whom j
1 shall see there that I could not let a i
single year go by. The veterans are
"roninir fewer and fewer every year.
Death carries n way so many fiom the
time of one encampment to the next
that I feel it a sort of sacred duty to see
every year whom are left of an organi
zation" which possesses so many hal
lowed associations for me."
Mrs. Logan has been an interested
observer of tho stiugule between New
York nnd Chicago to secure the world's
fair. "1 am of course most anxious,"
she said, to "see the world's fair a suc
cess, and of course I mil entirely in favor
of Chicago as the place to have it. if
the promoters want to have it a success
they should not have a moment's doubt
about the matter. Chicago is the only
city where a full nnd complete measure
of success is possible. While 1 was
abroad I visited and gave a good deal of
attention to the Paris- exposition and I
will say that, although I was impressed
with the magnificence of that great en
terprise,, and while it ninaLbe. acknowl
edged that Paris is a beautiful city, yet
I am firmly convinced that Chicago of
fers more facilities for such nn exhibi
tion and is better suited for it iu every
way than Paris. The hotel accommoda
tions are infinitely superior hero to
those of Paris. Why, they havo no
idea over there of the magnificent scale
noon which wo get up our great
hotels in America. But the variety
mid magnificence of the exhibits in
that Paris exposition nre absolute
ly bewildering. Homo of those
from the east surpasi in magnifi
cence any I ever dreamed of, but I am
sorry to say that our American exhibit
is very small, poor and insignificant.
Our people are spending immense sums
of money over there, and the promotors
of the scheme are affording them every
opportunity to do ho, but they hovo not
much of a representation in the exosi
tion. Iu fact I am sorry to say I was
almost ashamed of the American section.
The Edison exhibits nnd the Tiffany
jewelry exhibit arc good; in fact, what
there is is very good, but they are so
few and are in such a backward location
that there is not much attention paid to
them."
"How is this statcof things accounted
for?"
"Well, I think Mr. Cleveland was
most unfortunate in his selection, and
General W. li. Franklin, who is in
charge, is wholly nntit for the position.
ne nasn t the iireadtli of ideas nor tho
business training to oualifv him f,.r ii
and the result is that, so fur in Hib
American section is concerned, the t.him
is almost a failure.
"Ihero is one thing I want to noint,
out before I leave this sul lieet. " suiil
Mrs. Logan, "which mar be of some
interest to the people who have tho
world's fair project in eh .'ir" l tit.
Paris exposition was originally gotten
up in the shape of a lingo lottery to re
plenish the treasury of the French gov
ernment, which was then in a bankrupt
condition. Iu this it has liecn a most
wonderful success, fur the government
has cleared 38,000,000 francs by the pro
ject. Americans should profit by this.
i nero arc a greai many rich people in
France and other Enroean countries
but if they ore rich they know how to
hold ou to their wealth. They differ
very much from American in r..
pect Your European millionaire spends
his .money by no means so lavishly as
the American, and I therefore believe
mat it is a mistake to look forward to
on mtlux of EnroiM-an capitalists ns n
great monetary benefit to this country
or any section of it. Instead of coming
here to spend their money my impres
sion is that they will try to get over
here loaded down with goods aud carry
our mouey bnck with them.

Washisutos, I). C, August 'J'J -Acting
Secretary Walker received the fol
lowing cablegram from tho United
States consul at Santiago tie Cuba:
"Ghcrardi at Port au Prince orders
mo to cable that Hippolyte's force of
70,000 men quietly occupied the town
on the 2Ud. The minister of war of the
northern forces assures me he w ill per
mit no riotous demonstrations or des
truction of property. The French cor
vette sailed at noon for Kntiago de Cuba
with Legitime, his principal followers
uuil a number of refugees. The city
continues quiet, liippolyte, aa provin
cial president, enters to-day."
While, of course, the state officers
nre dicreet!y reticent about tnc matter,
there is certainly a feeling of satisfac
tion observable about the department
oyer Hippolyte's success in llayti. His
victory over Legitime nud the establish
ment of n provisional government to bo
followed later on by a constitutional
government will very likely obviate the
necessity of semi ing General Un Wal
lace and Beverly Tucker nseommisMon
ers from this country to look after thn
interests of citizeus of the I'nited Htates
there. The necessity for this commis
sion grew out of the fact of i!ie intimscy
nud possible combination betuei-n Le
gitinu nnd tho l'rench nnd to the detri
ment of American interests. Tho suc
cess of Legitime would ilouhtl...s have
emphasized the necessity for tho Com
mission, but now with the government
under the control of ilipimlyte nnd his
adherents who wcro opposed by tho
French, there is not much danger, it is
thought by depai-tnieift official,,, of an
unsafo and unwarraut.ihlo evixinsiou 0f
French influence over tho island for it
is believed that liippolyte will main
tain the absolute independence of his
government from any foreign control.
