Tex Mixers Kittep.—At Kaska William colliery, near Middleport, Pa., on Thursday evening lastga cage containing ten miners as- cending a shaft had reached a height of about 16 feet from the bottom when arn empty car was pushed over the top of the shaft by two Hungsrian laborers.

Since 1885 Mrs. Winter insured 27 relatives, and five died. It is believed that she poisoned the five and intended to poison others. Mrs. Winter, at latest accounts, had not been ar- rested, because of illness. 2» -- CHANGEABLE WEATHER.—-The weather yes- terday was fine and warm, the thermometer registering 74 degrees. Between five and six o'clock in the afternoon, however, a squall struck in, during the prevalence of which the dust was so dense that at times it was difficult to see the buildings on the opposite side of the street.

About twenty minutes past six this morning there was a slight snow flurry, and another shortly before eight.

Says the St. John Sun : a commercial traveller said to belong to Windsor, N. S., visited St. Johna few days ago and now several persons regret his sudden departure. McMurray while here represented himself as a traveller for M. F. Eager, wholesale druggist, of Halifax, and he succeeded in collecting considerable money in drafts and in other ways. On Monday last a firm of soap manufacturers received a telegram from Mr. Eager, stat- ing that their draft had been refused, and next day they got a letter which explained that McMurray had represented himself as travelling for enother house and had secur- ed permission to sell for Eager on commis- sion, with the distinct understanding that he was not to collect any bills or make any drafts, as they would be refused. The latter further stated that the St John draft was the fifth one that had been refused. Enquiry was made at the hotel where Meléarray had been stepping and it was learned that he had left Monday morning with his baggage checked to Boston. None of the drafts made in this city were for large amounts. MvMurray is believed to be a resident of Windsor, N. 8.
