WEDNESDAY.

EIGHTEEN Of the thirty eight men
imprisoned in the West Pittston shaft,
which took fire on Saturday morning,
were suffocated in the mine. Hercu-
lancan efforts were made to rescue the
unhappy sufferers and at two o'clock
on Sunday afternoon, all the men we're
brought up but eighteen Of them we're
dead and the remainder asphyxiated.
The scenes about the mine are said to
be indescribable. The following il a
statement Of one Of the miners, Rob.
ert Cox, who was taken out alive:
We went in ut a.m. Ny brother Rob
ert cut through from one air-way to an
other aud turned on the gas, and six
miners came out with him before their
shaft was up. The air was SO bad they
could not work at all This was about ff-
teen minutes before The fire, and seven
miners came up to the top at five
minutes before the fire was dis
covered. The first intimation
We had of the fire was a
sound through the mine as if there
was an explosion. An English miner
said There is fire about fifty yards
from the bottom Of the shaft, in the west
side l then ran to the bottom Of the
shaft, and saw the fire coming down. Ran
back to my comrades and told them we
are all lost the shaft is on fire! We
were seven in all. We then ran to the
foot Of the shaft and burning timbers were
coming down. We threw Oh water and
put out the fire, but the smoke became so
intense that we were nearly suifocated.
Dense volumes poured down the shaft and
filed the place. We then ran over to the
west side in the direction of the river
bridge, down the slope and got in at door
with eleven Others, making eighteen alto
gether in that place. The smoke came
upon us SO badly that We gathered up
lot Of stuff from the tracks and plastered
the cracks of the door, and also stuffed
our coats in the holes, which stopped the
smoke for some time. We had time for
thought and reflection now. No one expect
ed to see daylight again; all believed it
second Avondale. We all sang hymns,
and prayed to God in His mercy to save
us, as We all felt doomed and beyond hui
man aid. We ran back and forth through
the gangways for fresh air. At Bis this
evening Patrick Farley groaned twice,
and was found dead when the men came in
the place after the fire. then went over
to the west side for my coat TO help 10
stop out the smoke, as VIC would be suffo.
Gated very soon. Men then passed carry
ing back their comrades who were dying
in their arms. More men were outside the
door crying out in distress and anguish
and calling upon God for succor. None
expected to come out alive.
The mules were kicking and neighing.
The boy told his father, while crying,
1--WE will come out safe and, If We must
die, let US die like men," The father and
son both came out alive. At 7:30 p. m.
became insensiblc, and remained so until
was brought out by my brother Robert,
about o'clock on Sunday morning. Cox
is an intelligent Irishman, aged about 20
wears.

THE WOMAN QUESTION.
Speech OF DIR. Mary Stafford, at vienn,
Austria.

Speech OF DIR. Mary Stafford, At Vienna,
The following able speech, delivered by
DR.. Mary Stafford, sister Of A. b. Stafford,
cashier of the City National Bank, Of
Cairo, at Vienna, Austria, was translated
from the German by Miss Laura Yocum,
of this city. 1t will amply repay peru
sal:
In the Women's Industrial Association
of this city, Miss Stafford, who received a
physicians diploma in New York, deliv-
cred lecture which had for its subject the
social standing Of women, and is SO inter-
esting because the speaker, who has studied
clinics two years in this place, is, through
her extraordinary education and knowl-
edge of human nature and the world, EN-
inently fitted to handle the theme. The
lecturer showed to those before her that
bestowing titles and honors on women is
not the result Of the advanced idea Of the
present; and confirmed the assertion by a
series Of happily convincing instances
from the histories of women. To prove
how many women Of the present, through
richly successful activity in the science
and skill of their vocation, rival men, the
oratress proceeded as follows;
"Miss Rean., an American, has finished
y life-sized statue of Lincoln, which should
find place in the White House. At an
art exhibition in England an attractive
group cut in marble by the Princess Alice
excited attention. Many of the drawings
in American illustrated papers are the
work OF women who received their culti-
vation in the free art schools of New
York. Several journals in England, Italy
and America are edited by ladies, while in
many printing offices we find women and
girls busted as successful compositors. We
have in America three female ecclesias-
tics who have in their charge large par
studies were under the same faculty of
theology as the mems, and when their
yearly income as a rule is l,500-2,0Oe
dollars, we must infer that they
are highly valued by their
parishioners. A short time since the ju-
dicial career was opened to women, and
already two enjoy honorable positions as
advocates. One Of our most celebrated
Universities opened its lecture rooms to US
| in the past year, Gnd in time. % women
entered to devote themselves to the study
| OF medicine, theology, Jurisprudence and
natural sciences. Other American uni
yersities are following this example. A
quite new field for our activity offers it.
self in the opening Of an agricultural and
botanical school in Boston.
AS teachers, women in America take
the first rank; many are made Prin-
cipals in our schools for both sexes,
receiving the same salary that men in
similar positions do. In several col
leges, mathematics, Greek and Latin

DID STANTON COMMIT SUIcIDEi-The
Philadelphia Herald says: We can
scarcely credit the rumor, yet it has OBJ
tanned circulation, and it is thought by
many to have some foundation, that Sec
retary Stanton committed suicide by cut
ting his throat. 1t is, of course, denied by
his friends; but, on the other hand, it is
asserted that when the undertaken came
to put the body in coffin, he found it al
ready prepared, with bandage tied
around the neck. 1t is also further stated
that his life was heavily insured, and that
no application has yot been made for the
insurance money"

This is 9 result we have always expected.
The demagogues who stirred up and kept

For two or three years past. they have
kept the settlers in constant state of px.

people to outIawry and bloodshei; and
by terrorism. have prevented them from
scqniring titles to their lands. when they
might have done 80 upon fair terms
They have boosted themselves into noto.
riety and into Fat livings at the expense
Of their dnpes: and they have inveigled
the people into political associations an
rsgonistic to their real faith, in the d-lu-
sivs hope Of accomplishing something
thereby. Now. after spending their time
and money. and having almost rebelled
against the authority Of the State and o.
the United States. the people must sor-
rowfu'ly set themselves about securing
titles to their homes upon such terms as
they can obtain from the man HON they
have fought so bitterly. We have no
doubt that be will be leuient with them

The next best thing for them to do. will
