NEW YORK.

NV YoRK, September 9--There has
been no telegraphic communication with
Boston since Eve o'clock last night
A Scranton special says that later ex.
plorations of the mine have developed a
sadder phase Of the tragedy. Many Of
the chambers have been entered and mi
ners found in them dead, the breast Of
the miners showing that they had been
stricken down by poisonous gas without
moments warning while they were at
work. Road men, roof men, door men
and others were found dead in the
different gangways, showing that the
destruction must have come swift and
sudden. The spirit evinced by the miners
to-day has been bitter in the extreme,
aud is not much assuaged by the offers of
assistance and sympathy flowing in from
every side. 3x4 ff(1ESE
Asa Packer has telegraphed that he
offers $500 to the bereaved, and Gov.
Geary. $1,000. The railroad company
has made. all the exertion possible, and
the wishes Of miners in every respect are
consulted but they remain obdurate.
Some of Them are willing to listen to
reason, but they are the minority. Many
are refractory and vicious. Trouble is
apprehended, and has been avoided only

A Case of wonderful Generosity.

The Duke of St. Adams, who has here
tofore been best known az the boon com.
panion of that bad young man, the Prince
of Wales, has suddenly become famous
10 quite different way. Recently the
living of Redburne fell vacant. 1t was
worth about $500 year, quite nice
thing for some poor clerical cadet. The
living is in the Dukes gift, but instead
of pitchforking in some family hsnger-on,
as is the usual custom, he wrote one OF
the principal pensioners to the effect
that he would appoint any clergyman
the laity might choose. The fast Duke
could not have ventured on any one act
more startling than this of giving the
people the choice of their minister. The
parishioners of Redburne Immediately
held public meeting, declared the Duke
an ornament to his class, or words to
that effect, and unanimously voted that
the "permission to elect an incumbent
of their own choice is q privilege rare
and unparalleled, and merits their warm
est thanks" These Britons, who we
know never can be slaves, have 80 long
been used to accepting the spiritual
guides which aristocracy provides for
them, that they fall down in eestatio ad-
miration of the generosity that allows
them any choice in the matter which
most nearly concerns their souls. What
we claim as a right, they consider as an
unparalleled privilege" But the Duke
has made bad precedent for tine dealers
in the cure of souls in the Established
Church.

A Celebrated Comet.

The celebrated comet which was dis
covered in 1919 by M. Pous at Marseilles
and was rediscovered 10 1858, at Bonn,
BY Dr. Winnecke from whom it takes its
name), was observed yesterday morning
in the constellation Taurus. 1t was in
| 3 b. 502 m. of right ascension, and 2 deg.
SO min. of north declination. DR.. Win
necke computed that it's period is five
years six and half months. Its nearest
distance (periheliop) from the snn is
about 70, O00,000 miles, and It's greatest
(aphelion) about sos 100000 miles; it,
therefore,, passes some distance outside
he orbit OF Jupiter.
1t passed its perihelion this year about
the I'd of June, its longitude being then
279 degrees 81 minutes. while that of the
earth was about 252 degrees. Hence the
comet was then only little more than
1000, 900 miles from the earth, but was
invisible, owing to the fact that it was
nearly between the earth and sun. The
earth has now advanced about 80 degrees
in her orbit and the comet has followed
in the same direction. being now nearly
on the earth's path, but before her, and is
rapidly passing out toward its aphelion.
1t is now much nearer to us than at the
time of perihelion, but there is no danger

We desire to call special attention to
and ask the careful reading Of the COM
munication from General G. W. Gordon,
which appears in our to-day's issue. 1t
is unnecessary to say one word concern
ing the General, for he is not only well
known ia Memphis, but ip Tennessee, as
an earnest, able and honest man-~sin-
cerely attached to the people and inter.
ests of his native State, and incapable OF
recommending an institution that does
not possess genuine integrity and USE
fulness. The idea presented by the Life
Assoeiation--et the same time loca'izing
and Matchmaking life insurancs, By its li
cal feature giving all home benefits, by its
national character giving power and safe
ty--is indeed an achievement most worthy
of this entsrprising age And, now, it is
not simply an idea, but it has been prac-
ticalized by the greatest success, az
shown by indisputable facts and figures.
