A week pa. ed , work continued , while depressed nnd Mispieious they waited lor Ihu conflict. At Million's one picco of bad luck fol lowed another. Catherine ill from a. tor- r.blu secno she hail with Chaval. who wa.s still jenloii.s of her , wa.s compelled lo uiss ii'day's work. A few days after , tloliiinie Kept out of the mint ) for two days to plaj in the ltlds ! with Robert antl L 'tlie. without their knowing it. ' 1 hat morning as thu men anil girla were start ug lor work Mrs. Mahon raised horsoll up iu bed and cried to Johnnie : "I'll lake the skin off of your back if you try that again. " \ \ oru was very hard at Million's now drilt. 'J hat part of the vein Folonuioro lapcrcd oil'so much that thu minors , Hiuatlmg ] between the wall anil roof , rubbed the skin from their elbows while at work. Ou account of the dampness a Hood of water was feared every mo ment , one ot thoiiu Midden torrent * which Slav i ! iu the rocks and carry oil thu num. 't liu tiny buforu , Anton , alter violently driving hi.s pick into thu rock and then withdrawing it received a jet of water in hi.s face ; but that wus : only an alarm , which had made Ihu drift more damp and unhealthy. He no longer thought of possible accidents , passing the days thorn Jiku liis comrades , unconscious ot punl. 'J hey lived in the liretlam > without even feeling its weight upon thu eyelids. Cer tain dajs , however , when thu tlamo of the lamp paled and grew dim , their thoughts reverted to the danger , and a miner would put Ins car to the vein , listening for the little .sound of gas ami air bubbles coming through thu cracks. IJitl the greatest danger wa.s from a cave- in , owing to the un.snllicicncy ot' the propp ng , which was always tlonu too ImiTiouly. the ground , weakened by the water , did not hold and would suddenly fall in enormous masses. Twicu that day Mahon hnd been forced to .strengthen tne props. It hail taken them two hours anil a half. ' 1 ho men had gene back to their places in thu drift , and Anton hail just Imiahed Ihu mining of a block , whun a shock like a peal of thunder shook thu whole ininn. ' 'What's that ? " said ho , throwing down hi.s pick to listen. At lirat hu thought the gallery was fulling. 15ut Million had already clipped through the opening to their drilt , saying : "It H a cave-in1 hurry , hurry : " All hurried oil' in fright. Their lamps flickered wildly iu the death-like riilcncu which had fallen. ' 1 hey ran in bingle Ide along Ilio road with backs bent , looking us it they were galloping on fmir paws , never s.ackt iiing Ihuir paee. Where was itr in some drill perhaps. No , that bound camu Irom below , in the car road. road.When When they arrived at the narrow slit through which thuyvre obliged to dc.iccnd , they rolled down one upon the other without concerning thciiiielvos about thu places which toru thu skin Irom their bodies. Johnnie , with back still red from the beating received trom his mother tint day before nail not made Ins escape trom tin ; mine that tlii y In his bare fret he was running behind a train of car * toslmt the ventilating doors , anil at times when hu dill not tear meeting an ovrr.-ircr , he jumped up anil rode along on the bust car , a thing which had been forbidden , tearing the hoys would go to sleep there. Kadi lime his train got out of the w.iy to unable another to pass , h would run along in trout to liiul Uobert , who led tlie lior.M ) . Unnning behind his friend hu pinched him , looking liku the mischiev ous apu which lie was , with his curly hair , great ears , little thin nosuaud green- inh eyes which .shone in the tlarkrituvs. In the afternoon those boys were given llalaille , whoati tuin lor work had eoiuo , anil when the hnr u snorted 'before an opening , Johnnie , \\lio was in trout with Uobort. said to him. "What s the matter with tlm old cow ard ? Hit II make me break my legs.\et. " Hut Robert tliil not reply , be was com pelled lo hold the boi'M ) on ono sitlu at thi ) approach of another trnln. Uatnillu. from a di.stanco , had recognized hi.s old favorite Trompetlo , lor whom he hail been tilled with a grunt tondcrncHs ever bineu thi ) day hu hail recn him disembark at the bottom of tlm mine. Hu had thu nllcctionatu pity of an old philosopher desirous of coiiHoling a. young friend , try ing to teach him patience nnd resigna tion , for Tniinpettu had not yet beconm acciiHiomcd lo thu mine , tin wearily divw hi * ear , still blind in that darkness , conxlnntly rcgretling thu MI a.

" Tlm tram .started oft'again. . In the iui.\t trip , when he had pushed his head again > l the ventilating door , Hataillo again refnsml In advaiicn , snorting and trembling. At last after much coaxing hn decided to ivsmuu his journey. Jiihnnie , aflitr again "hutting Ihu door , remained behind. With thu aid of his lamp he pereiMVftl ( hat the wood had given way from the constant no/.iiigof a jet uf water. Just thun a miner , known through all tint alley" by thu nick iiiiniu of ( . 'hietit , pa--i'd on the way to his drilt. Ho al ( i o.vaniincd thu spot , and as the boy darted forward to ro- 'join his"train , a cracking was heard , and a cave-in engulfed man nnil child. A great Mlcnee followed. A lliiek llllst' vv ri ing in thn roaiN. Hlinded and nHiieati > il men were arriving from all nan * , even tlu < m < i t ilNlant drifts while ihmr llii-ki-rin lani | badl.v lit up lliat gullirilllt'il with duak ligilfi-s When the lir-I rnuiri ran against I lie cave-In , they i-rifd out , c.illlng their romratles A bectind b.tiitl of men Irom tint luwcr i. - - - _ , , _ . _ drifts arrived nt the other aide of tlio fallen masi. blocking up the gallery. Thrty soon found that thu ceiling bad piven away for thirty feet at the most. Ihodmuago was nothing grave. Hut their hcnrl.s slopped beating as a , death rattlociHiiu from the shadows. Kobcrt , leaving liis"train rn.n forward , calling. "Johnnio Is tinder there ! " . At that moment Mahon was arriving nt the spot with Zaehario antl Anton. Filled with despair , be 'could only cry out : "My God'my ' Cod1" The women , who had also run forward Catherine , Lydioaiul Moqnotto , began to sob , screaming with frght amid ihat terrible - riblo disortler which tlm darknesrt niig- me.nted. 'j'ho men trietl to silouco them ; but they became more hysterical at each rattle which came from the rocks. Richmond , thu overseer , had arrived , In despair that neither M. Megrel nor Dansaert was in the iiiiuo. With car pressed close to the ground he listened , and : it last said the cries were not these of a child. A man was tlujro. Then Million called Johnnie. Not a breath came from the darkness. Tlio little onu must have been crashed at onco. Then that death rattle again com menced. 'I ho.y spoke to the one In agony u-iking his name. Thu rattle alone re sponded. "Mako hastol make hastot" said llich- mend , who had already gone to work. "They will diu vet. " From both sides the miners attacked the cave-in with their picks and shovels. Chaval , Mahon and Anton worked side by Hide without a word ; -.wbilij Zaohario directed Ihu removal of tlio ground. The hour for ascending bail eomo , no ono had eaten ; but they would not leave while comrades were in peril. Mean while , thinking the pooploathomo would be uneasy if they did not return , they spoke of sending up the women. Hut neither Catherine , Mtxpielto , or even little - tlo Lytlio , would move ; tho.y were riveted there by the wish to save , aiding the men in the excavation. Thun Levaquo ac cepted the commission of announcing tlio cave-in , above. A simple damage which could bu repaired. It was almost four o'clock ; tlie workmen in less than an hour had done the work of a day. Half of the ground would already have been taken away had not a number of other rocks slid irom fie ceiling. Mahon , in a rage , refused with a weary gesture , when another approached lo relieve him for an instant. ' ( Jontly"sad : liiehmond , lit last. "Wo are conuug to them. It will not bu necessary to dig it all away. " Thu rattlu had become louder - and louder as they diif * down. It was this continual sound which guided the work men , and now it seemed to move forth directly under the picks. Suddenly it ceased. Not , a word was uttered. They all felt , the chill of death pass by in the dark ness. They dug with renewed strength , streaming with perspiration. A loot was encountered ; they attacked the earth their hands now , disengaging thu limbs one by one. 'J'ho head was not crushed. Lamps were held down , and the name of Chieot ran from mouth to mouth. He was still warm , thu vertebral column broken by a rock. ' Cover him up and nut him on a car. " said the overseer. "Now for the little ono. Make haste ! " Mahon hail not paused in his work. Ho gave a last blow of the pick ami an opening was made communicating \yith the gang working on the other side. Those men cried out they hail found Johnnie , unconscious , both legs broken , but still breathing. The father took thu. little ono up in his arms , crying between his teeth : "My Cod ! My ( Jotf. " Cath erine and the. other women again began to sob. They quickly organized thn cortege. Uobert hail brought back liataillo , whom they harnessed to the two cars : in the lirst was the corpse of Chieot , held 1111 by Anton , while in the .second sat Manon , holding on his knees Johnnie , still uncon- , KCIOIIS , covered with a woolen cloth. On ' each car was hung a lam ] ) , looking like a rod star , which was followed b.v lifty shadows walking In single lile. Worn out , they dragged themselves along , slip ping in the mud , overcome b.v grif. ( ! Jt would take u half-hour toarrivV at the foot of the shalr , anil that funeral-.pro cession , under ground , amid the hlatik- iless of night , went on through the wind ing galleries , turning and re-turning- At the shaft-room , liiehmond having sent on in advance , ordered an % i iflpty cage lo be returned , IVters and' three other loaders put tlio two c.irson at.once.- In one Mahoij remained with his little in jured one acro-s his knees , while in the other Anton held in his arms th" eorpso of Ch.cot. . Then , when tlie workmen were piled in tlie ofher stories , ( -Im c.igu ascended. The ascent look two minutes. The cold rain fell from the tubbing while these men were never so impatient lo see tlm light of day. Happily , a boy ant after DivVander- hagheii had broiignt him b.'iek. Johnnie ami the dead man were carried info 'the overseer's room , where , in spite of the pleasant weather , a huge lire was burn ing. They threw two mattresses up5u' | Ihu hearth , laying the man on'oio"'irad' ) the chihl on tlio other. Million'am ! Anton entered alone. Outside , the women and men w-ru groupml together , talking in a low voice. As soon as the phyician glanced at Chicbt , ho mur mured. "Thu devil ! Von ran. wish him , " , . Two overseers undrissid ) : anil washed that corpse , blank with coal , still dirty from tlio sweat of labor. " ' 1 hu head is all right. " resumed thn doctor , kneeling before the inat tress on wnii'h Johnnie lay ; "the oliest sound. All1 it i.s thu legs which havu suffered. " Hu undressed the child wHh ( he skill of a nurse , anil the poor little insect-like body appeared , covered with black dust anil yellow earth which was marked with snots of blood. They must wasli him nl.-io ; thn doctor could see nothing. After thu bath he * ncmed still more thin , with transparent skin through which they could seu the bones. It wan sail lo sec the degeneration of these miserable people ple wTio at onu lime or other were crushed by ( lie falling roeka. When ho was clean they saw thu brdlsu.s on hid vrhitr skin. Becoming conscious , ho uttered a cry , while hiri lather , witli great tears stream ing from II'M eyes , btood at tlm foot of the mattress wringing his handi. "Von're his father , are yon not ? " paid the his nead. " ' doctor , raising "Don't cry ; try and help me. He's not dead yet. " Hu found two simple ruptures. Hut thu rigid leg madu him uneasy , Hu feared it would have lo bu amputated. At that moment the engineer , Negrol nnd Dansaert , came In with Richmond. The lirnt listened to the overseer's tale with an exasperated a > r. He ( lew into a passion. Always that bad primping' ' hail lie not told them a hmulr.Hl times that they would kill some one ? anil tlinrfu those brutes spoke of striking because they weru forced to prop more soliijlv. The trouble was that the company would have to pay for the damage , M. Ilunnu- beau would be furious. "Who is that ? " said ho to Dansaert , standing before a corpse , which they were about tti cover with n sheet. Chieot , one of our best workmen , " replied the superintendent. "Hu has three children. Poor devil " Meanwhile Doctor Vanderhaghen be gan talking lo these gentlemen in a low voice. He wild Johnnie HUN ! liu tiikeii home immediately. .Six o'eloek si ruck ll was growing dark.

A now cortege was formed , thVcarfc before , the litter behind , anil the people bringing up the rear. Leaving itlii tnino they slowly wound tip the road to the alley. The llrst windsof Novcuibei ; were sweeping over the. immense pai ) ! > which night was slowly enveloping HKO a hhrond falling from the Kvlil sky. Anton inhised Malion to send Gather- Ino on ahead to breik the news to her mother. The father , who followed ( ho litter , completely worn out , consented with a nod , and tho'girl ' ran oft' for they were nearly there. Hut they must have been perceived already. Women , half era/y , ran from their jloors. Very soon there were tlilrly.thenlifry.all tilled with the same terror , That wagon held u corpse. Who was it ? Lcvnquo having ; assured them that no ono was hurl , only made them feel the greater shod ; . They thought it was not only one man" Who hnd perished , but loty , and that carl , was going to briny them home one "by ond. Catherine louud her mother'tcrrihly excited , and as soon as the llrst wonts wore tittered shu cried : * "Tho father's doadl" In vain the young gM protested , tell ing her of Johnnie. i'he woman How to thu door , and on seeing the wagon slop near the church , sue nearly fainted away. At each door women dumb witli fright , looked on , while others followed the cortege to know Whcro thu cart and litter would stop. Then Mra. Mahon saw the litter , behind - hind which walked hur husband. And when it was set down before her door when she saw Johnnie alive , though with both legs broken , thuro came a sudden reaction that she was lilted with augur. crying out without a tear : "Thill's it , is it ? They cripple our chil dren now ? What can I do to them ? " "Hush ! " said the doctor , who had fol- fowcd to dress the wounds. "Would you rather ho had been killed ? " The woman beeamo moro tuul more angry amid the tears of Atairo and thu little ones , ami while waiting on the doe- tor she abused the lot. asking where they thought she could find money to support cripples. It was not enough with the old one , but now this rascal had lost his feet ; and shu never paused a moment wliilo the others cried. Weeping and wailing was heard coming from a neighboring house , the wife and children of Chieot crying over the body. It was a dark night. The men , still excited , were at last eating theirsouj ) . Thoalloy.had bucomosilent , save of those pitiful cries. Three weeks passed. They had been able to save the limb , but the poor child w uld always limp. The company had given them fifty franos and had promised to give the little ono easy employment as soon as ho recovered. It was but an in crease of misery , for the father had re ceived such a shook that he had fallen ill with a heavy fever. On Thursday , Mahon hnd rolurned to tlie mine , and this was Saturday. That night , Anton spoke for a long time of the lir.st of December , which was close at hand , anxious to see if the company would carry out it.s thrnat. They watted up until ten o'clock for Catherine , who was out with Chavi'l. Hut she did not outer. At bust Mrs.Maion | iu anger bolt ed the door anil thsy all ascended tlie stairs. Anton was a long time in going to sleep , uneasy at t1iatompty , bed whuro Al/.iro took up so lit'tlo room. * The young girl did not return the next day , anil the day following on his return from the mine Alahoii heard that Chaval would not allow his daughter to comu homo. They hnd been having terrible quarrels , and to avoid rjuproach she had ( Widcd to go and Iwo with him. Ho had It'll the Vulture ami was now working at the Jean-Hart , the igiuujiiolongiug to Mr. Dcnculin , taking her with him as wheul- isn. They were living ali thoI'iipjutto in Monston , t * > fi > " > * At lir.st Mahon spoke of going to knock the man down auu bring lusigirl homo. Then ho became resigned. Vv hat gootl would it do ? It was bound , to happen Kooniif or later. Hut Mrs. Mahon did not take the thing so easy. "Did I beat hur wliou she went out with that Chaval ? " cr.od she to Anton , who listened in s.lence , though very p.ilu. "Toll me : you're a reasonable "man , We've loft her free , haven't we ? I was voting when my husband married me , but I didn't leave my parents as young as her to work for a man who h.itl no need of the money. Ah ! It's disgust ing. " And when Anton only roplietl by nods of the head shu resumed : "A girl who went whernsho hatla mind. What s the matter .with , her. ' Why couldn't she w.iit until I married her ? We've be.on too good ; we ought to have kept her in lue house without letting her have a beau. That's alw.iys t'ni way give them an iuch and they'll take A mile. " Al/'ro nodded her head , wliilo I.nnoro and Henry , tightened at that Midden burst of auger , were sobbing very quietly. Mrs. Malion now enumerated their bail luck. First Zacliariu's marriage ; then the old man helpless trom rheumatism. alter that Johnnie's accident ; who would not be able to leave his room for ten days yet ; ami now that goose of a Catherine Tiatl gone oil' and left them. The fanrly was broken up. No ono remained at the mine but the lather. How were they go ing to live ? Seven people without count ing Mstulle. They had better all go anil throw themselves iu tlie canal. " "It don't do any good to fret about it , " said Mahon , in a harAh voicu. "Wo'ro not at the end yet , perhaps.

His Denting * \Vltli tlio I'lltstuirg lloj- Have Not Kiilianccil HI * Koputa- llott Doinliilck Anxious to Try Him UloTcil in * Ilarchanilcil. New York Sun' The mnnuor in which John L. Sullivan avoided meeting I'ndd.y llyan Is not creditable to his reputation , and baa led many to believe ( hat his en counter with MoCaflrey has taught him caution. While matched with Domlniok lie bad ngrood to give ruddy another chance , nnd his failure to keep his word has not made him any new friends. Jerry Dunn feels very sore , for ho had spent $ TO ( ) or f-MO in making prepara tions for tlm meeting , and now it is all lost money. Ho hnd an interview with the Boston olwmploti in this city prior lethe the hitter's departure for his lour with the minstrels , and it is reported that ho wits assured by-tltti "foil * fellow" that he would Hiuvly meet Paddy as soon a pos sible after his twenty weeks' oiigagoment as a Msttuo nrtist ovpircd. There are those who'think tin : trin will be a poor preparation for , ilight. . Minstrels are proverbially jolljr dogs , ami John It. will linvo lee many chances for ' 'taking in tlio IOWIIH" utter the performances for bis good. However , that is his lookout. Agontlemim Vrho.talked with ftlcCaf- frey in Philadelphia last week says that the latter is undoubtedly sincere in his belief that he can "do" .Sullivan in the ring. Ho exhibited thn gloves lie wore in his encounter at Chester Park. "I had a set made vrhioh were the same s'zo as those I were when I fought Mitchell , " said he , "ami I brought them on I he si ago In a small bag. Huforo 1 could take them out Tom Delay eamo over lo me with these. As you can see , they are tlie smallest boxing gloves ever worn in an encounter , ami are without a particle of padding over the knuckles. In reality , they make a man's clenched hand harder than a naked list , for they afford a grip for the lingers which they cannot have when uncorercd. I suppose Sullivan thought they would frighten me to death. Hilly U'Briun wanted me to reject them , but L said , "No. I'll put them on. Its only a question of who gets there first , aim I know that I'm as clover as lie is. " After the light Delay came over to mv corner , and wanted me to give the gloves back. 'It's a .shame to break thi ) set , ' said ho. That's so , ' I answered , 'I'll buy Sullivan's pair. Wliat do you want them for ? ' Hu laughed kind of sheepishly , and walked away. "Tho morning ; after the fight I went into Cincinnati to walk around anil let people see that J was not hurt. On the way Lunt , Hilly and I stopped at the club honsu at Chester Park , where Sullivan's ' party put tin , ami wo met Washington Murphy ami sereral others. Murphy shook hands with me and said that I nail fairly astonished them , and that they never thought that I could lust more than two rounds. 'You ama/.ed the big fel low" he told me. 'He couldn't under stand how it was that hu couldn't hurt you. ' " McCaffrey says that Sullivan is the best "hidor' ' ho over saw. "I couldn't see that ho was tired until hu began talking to ino in thu sixth round. 'J hen his voice shook , and 1 saw that ho wa.s going. I felt sure thai if we were let tmisli it I could do him. 1 wanted to keep on , but Sullivan wouldn't ' have it. His party said that thu articles only called for six rounds , anil they had been fought. Thu roturoo sent us to our corners be.foro the full time of one round was up. .Sullivan , I'll ' swear , never gave mo a. clean hit at out-lighting , but ho is terrible strong , and ho bore me down at close quarters with the greatest ease. In the fourth round he gave mu the only blow that really ant'ctcd mu. After that I got belter and at the end of the light 1 was vfarmod up and in much belter con dition to go on than I was at the begin ning of tne lirst round. " Ijomjnick thinks that Sullivan is thu boss tough of the universe. "Why , he thinks ) ii slang. During ono of our clinches 1 had Inn right arm pinned to my body with my loft. He wan tugging to get it loose , so 1 thought 1 would try a little snarp practice on him. 1 held it 1'astbr than over at the next hug. Ihun I suddenly released it , and belore ho could pull if back 1 g.tve him a quarter-arm jolt on tiiij jaw with my h-it.

In t.io sixth round he is seen st.Hiding in tin ; center of the ring , laughing at bnllivnii , who is live or six feet awa/ , looking as black ad n thunder cloud , and pretty tired. "L have $ - > tH ) up for : i light to a finish with Sulli nn , " says McC'ail're.y.'I will meet him either w.th gloves or with na- Ued lists , and I will wait until Sullivan linishus Inn minstrel tour , nnd give him K couple of months then in which to get ready. He must not take inn for a chump though , He won the championship in open air in the presence of all who cared to go and see him , and hn must meet me under similar conditions.

"I hear that Dempsey has grown greatly since ho went to California , and is now Ing enough almost to light either Cloary , Hurke or Mitchell.

PRAIRIE DOGS I CENTRAL PARK. Korly Colonists Belllo n Town How They Worked.

Tticu they gathered in a knot for a contiiilLtlion in which ono fat old patriarch feemui ! to .a.ssiimo the leadership. Th y grasped the situation and determined to make the best of it. The old dog followed by six. other stolitilogti selected a central spot in the inelosurn and began to dig \rtli forepaws until in a miunln or two his head wa.s out of sight. He then stepped asidu antl gravely sat on h s haunches while another ilojj began digging in the hole thus started. The remaining five ( ! ogshtoul ( in a row behind the one that was digging while the nuoccupind dog ) kept together a short distance away.
