Kissed I loth Wives When They Came Into the Office of Justice In Alderman E. K. bee's court on Friday afternoon J. VV. Bailey, the alleged bigamist, met his two wives and their meeting was a very affecting one. Bailey embraced and kissed both women as well as the children which accompanied them and If there exists any Ill-feeling against the prisoner, it was not manifested. On the witness stand at the hearing, however, both wives testified against Bailey, relating in detail their marriage to him. Wife number One stated she was a graduate of Clarion Normal and had been a school teacher. She met and was Wed to Bailey at Sligo, Clarion county, her home, by the rector of the Catholic church.

PASSENGFHS OF WRECKED STEAMER BATTLE WITHPIRATES Officials of the company say they have no reason to think there was any gas In I he mine. Whether the explosion was due to gas or dust will not be known until a complete investigation has been made. All but Busky are Americans. That the disaster was not even more dreadful is due to the fact that coaldigging had been suspended temporarily and a reduced force was cleaning the workings. Ordinarily, when the mine is in full operation, about 200 men are employed on the day shift and the same number on the night shift. The blackened, burned and mangled bodies of the miners were found under tons of slate about half a mile from the shaft entrance. The remaining eight miners are behind the slate fall and the rescue parties worked desperately throughout the night and today to penetrate the debris. It is probable that all will be found dead. Four State mine experts arrived at 3 a. m. and the government car came from Pittsburg this morning with Engineer Jones and two helmet men. (By United Press.) EIK GROVK. W. Va., April 25.- At 10 o'clock this morning fifteen bodies were recovered from Ott Mine No. 20 of the Davis Coal and Coke company, at Chaffee, near here. A fire and explosion occurred there yesterday, and 23 miners were imprisoned.Weeping women and children crowded about the shaft all night.

DEATH CLAIMS MEMBER OF mil big m family Pliriii-.il llallronders All Iviiiils of Amusement fin* Pour Innings. The Spirit force and the It., It. \- P. team of tlie t'lty league played a practice game in the Kast Knd park last night and The Spirit aggregation proceeded to make good its claim for the booby prize. The members of the force are conlldent that the team that beats them out for the consolation award will have to knock out the bottom and drop through. The Spirit didn't move much last night. The conditions were not just right for ghost walking and if it weren't for the fact that the team made thirty-one errors, the defeat might be attributed to the ghosts' failure to walk. It was a good game, from the railroaders' standpoint. They had all kinds of sport knocking the corner: off the balls and ambling around the corners on numberless errors. I lickox, all reports to the contrary, notwithstanding, pitched good ball. His support was good for nothing, and, as a consequence, The Spirit's willowy, saffron-haired pressman got disgusted and handed them over straight to the Tie-Hoppers, Morrison, who relieved Hickox in the fourth, was a trifle wild, but [ when lie did get them over the pencil shovers from the freight office couldn't see them. Of course, they banged three or four of them out of the lot, but that was luck -luck pure and simple. At the bat the Ink slingers, i. e. The Spirit force, shone, especially Spencer, who batted without his hat on. Tweed persisted in twisting the sphere aroung their necks and insisted 011 throwing curvellnear shoots when etiquette called for a nice straight ball. In the Held the Huffaloes, Roches(y and Pittsburglars played a good game. They stopped the ball each and every time it was hit, which was once and, despite extra heavy efforts, couldn't throw it over firstbaseman naughman's head. Fryer in left Held for The Spirit team, and Smith 011 first base, for the same aggregation, didn't have an error. Not a single one. 'TIs true they didn't have a chance, but nevertheless, there isn't a smudge In the error column against them. You have seen "Kight Hells," "Next Door," and a few other farce comedies. Well -don't fail to see The Spirit force in its opening game sometime week after next. Mr. Knight estimates that there are at least a million drinkers in the state of Pennsylvania and that the bill therefore would yield an annual revenue of $5,000,000. The bill makes it a misdemeanor to serve drinks to any one not holding a drinking license. The licenses are not to be issued to habitual drunkards. HARKISBURG, April 25.- A bill requiring all users of alcoholic liquors to take out a license at $5 a year is to be introduced in the house of representatives by F. H. Knight of Clarion county.

While the deliberations of the grand jury were, of course, secret. and the information upon which this recommendation is made is not disclosed, it is currently reported that the recommendation i« made at the request of a member of the board of county auditors, who personally appeared before the grand jury and requested such action.
