PENNSYLVANIA.


SCRANTON, Sept THE second party of
men have returned safely, as had the first.
They penetrated the gangway for distance of
IS feet and found the large door wide open.
They then went hundred feet further in one
of the passages and found the small door closed
Alter opening this door to give circulation of
air around to the entrance, they returned
Had this small door been open there might
have been a shade of hope, as the gas and
smoke and fire would have had free passage
around the circuit and out again. As it is,
fears are entertained that the smoke has pene-
tra.ed the inner mine. The main doorway
leading to the mine has not yet been reached.
12.45 b. M.-The third set of men, four in
number, went down and came back in fifteen
minutes, two of them SO overcome by the eff
fects of the gas that they are being restored
with difficulty. Gas is coming out of the outer
mine very fast since the passage way was
opened.
1.30 p. M.-The two miners are safe at last.
1t seems idle to peril life by any further at
tempt to go down, so long as the gas is so
strong. No attempt can of course be made to
reach the main door or to penetrate the mine
till the outer gangway is cleared of gas. 1t is
uncertain how long this will take, There is
really no ground to hope that single life re-
mains of those who were at work in the mine.
Everybody gives them up, as nothing probably
remains but to recover the bodies. What hor-
ror and suffering yesterday witnessed beneath
this spot, and whether it was of long or short
duration, none will probably ever know.

REPUBLICAN VICTORY.

BURLINGTON, Sept. 8-1.3 A. M-The can
vas in Vermont has been one of the quietest
known in many years, and the figures of the
election show rather more than the customary
reduction of the high figures of the Presiden-
tial election. Returns from 80 towns, casting
about one quarter of the vote of the State, give
Washburn, Republican, 6691 votes and Hea-
ton, Democrat, 2162. The same towns last
year gave Page, Republican, 1882 and Ed
wards, Democrat, 34O6 This is reduction of
80 per cent. in the Republican vote, and of
nearly 81 per cent. in the Democratic vote.
Gen. Washburn and the Republican ticket is
elected by from $4,000 to 10000 majority. The
State Senate is unanimously Republican. We
have returns of 46 Republicans and Demo-
Gratis elected to the House.
