The Late ExpIOsIOn-Mining With
Naked Lights.
PITTsTON, Aug. 16-Investigation as TO
the cause of the mine disaster will take
place to-day or tomorrow. The Inspec
tor is in doubt whether it was caused by
q fall in an joining passage.
Mr.. Smiles, the Pittston and Elmira
Company superintendent, thinks an &C
cumulstion of fire damp has been stand
ing in some unspproachable part of the
mine for some time, and Il fall of coal
forced the gas upon the naked lamps,
causing the explosion, throwing down an
immense amount Of coal or rock, which
disarlanged the proper working of the
air-ways, on whic1 miners depend for
vitality.
A statement is made thai inspection
has never been made, either by Inspector
Blcwitt, mine inspector, or his predeces-
sor, Nichols. Blewitt says that he is
ANXIOUS that thorough examination be
made, IS there are various ways in which
the explosion may have been caused
There is no evidence that men died by
conclusion of the air. The men when
found did not present evidence of having
survived long after the explosion. A son
of David Owen, Richard, was found
clasped in his his fathers arms. The boy
was badly burDed-the father was not.
The Burning Mine at Mann Chunk
MAuN CHUNK, Pa, Aug. 1G.-It ID
thought the fire is all in one place, and il
cooling off very fast. Water is still be-
ing thrown on, and if nothing new occurs,

are fearful of its spreading, owing TO the
unusual number of bodies of the victims

Mrs, Davis said: 81 am bleeding to death,

children. Her husband was off from
home on fishing frolic, and the sad news
of the tragedy was startling one, as it
was unexpected.
No one can account for the diaEOlical
outrage, nor can it be even surmised who
was the cowardy perpetrator OF the
crime.
Excitement in the neighborhood is in
tense, and proper steps were taken to fer
rot ont the murderer, who it is thought

Paris Ripe for Another Revolution

Paris Ripe for Another Revolution
LONDON, Aug. 15-Advlces from
Paris say the city is excited. The situa-
ton is threatening and trouble is appre-
heDded from various sources. To day is
he fete of Napoleon |, and the air is full
of rumors that the army will revolt
against the Versailles Assembly, de-
clare McMshOn Regent, and demand the
empire. People are leaving Paris in
stampede.
Some believe that the Orleanis.s'
scheme is ripe for coup d'etat, being
pushed by the proposition TO make Theirs
permanent Executive, which it is feared
would establish a government not mon
archical. Theirs has no friends. He is
hooted by republicans, rOyalists and i'm
perialists alike. A crisis is approaching.

PARIS, August 16.-Dificulties have

An Interview with Gambetta.
A Paris correspondent of the London
Spectator furnishes the following inter.
view with Gambetta. He declares tha
for the first time the Republican party
feel sure Of majority, aud of decisive
majority, not only in the towns but in the
rural districts. The next appeal to the
county, if made by Legitimists, Orleanist:
or Republicans, by McMahon, by the
| Princes of the Orleans family, or by
Theirs, or by himself, the result is slmo.i
as certain to be a great Republican vic
tory as any that can be certain in pOlitica
history. He repudiates with vehemence
the notion of coup a. etdt. He de
clares that the constant appeal to force il
the one great mischief of the immediate
past, and nothing should induce him tC
sanction it. He says it would be as fool
ish as it would be criminal, for it would
be quite unnecessary. The bulk of boil
armies, he says, both the new and thu
old, is no doubt Republican to the core
but then the country is Republican too
and there is need for nothing but mis-
chief, which would result in calling fol
the aid of the army. He has evidently
considerable fear that if the Republican
movement goes on too rapidly, and in
way to alarm the Germans, Prussia nigh
still interfere, and gather that consid
cradle part of his evident desire to b
moderate arises from his dread of tina
event. As for the future, he declare
that to attempt anything more sgaiHs
Germany without allies would be ute
maCness.
