Condition of Tolstoi.
New York: Private advices from
members of Tolstoi’s immediate
family say that the philosopher
seems to be too much weakened by
his late illness to ever regain even
a shadow of his former health and
strength, cables a St. Petersburg
correspondent. For three months
or longer his pulse has been irreg-
ular.\

and vigorous, when your blood is
pure. Many, nay, most women
fail to properly digest their food,
and so become pale, sallow. thin
and weak, while the brightness,

Addie M. Francis, with whom Pat-

out of the mine. The two firemen
Monday who are suposed to have
caused th# explosion are Lark Hun-
ter and John Harney. They shot
th# dlasta about 4:45 o’clock before
all Che miners could get out of the
mine.
It ia erpposed that ono of the
fuses was defective and resulted in
what is known as a "blown” blast
The flames shooting out from the
blast ignited the accumulation ef
dry coal dust in the mine. The ex-
plosion that followed was horrible
in its intensity. It shot out of the
mouth of the mine and completely
wrecked the shed at the mine en-
trance. Three men were killed while
landing beside the mine and two
seriously and one fatally injured.
This mine has been the scene of

Husband Arrested.
Knoxville, Tenn.: A message
from Jellico states that Green Older
is in custody, of officers at Williams-
burg. Ky., at the instance of the cor-
3 jury that held the inquest
the remains of Mrs. Green Old-
r. Mi -. Older was murdered at h r
home in Sexton, Ky. It is reported
that when she and her husband re-
turned from church, she entered the
house first, and was si ruck with an
ax.
The legal witnesses to the cere-
meny were Patrick's father and hi*
sister, Miss Emma Patrick. Qthera
present were Patrick’s little dangh-
ter and Samuel B. Thomas, an at-
torney, who was ealled in as Mrs.
Francis’ legal advisor.
Samuel B. Thomas, attorney for
Mrs. Francis, made the following
statement: “As counsel of Mrs.
Francis I advised her that the con-
tract marriage was absolutely valid
and binding. Mrs. Francis had been
engaged to Patrick since 1898. It
was her intention to be married on
the day of Patrick’s acquittal, but
after the verdict was against him
the plan could not be carried out.
I hey were married properly and le-
gally, and as his wife Mr.s Addie
Francis Patrick can visit him when
he is confined in the death house,
which would have been denied oth-
erwise.”
When the contract was presented
to the city clerk it was refused, the
clerk saying that the statement that
he marriage took place at the cen-
ter of Leonard street’s corner, City
of New York, was not definite
enough as to place. He finally filed
