Twenty-Five car loads but the season
opened six days earlier III 1872 than the

ALBANY, N. Y, June 10.-The
Court of Appeals were unanimous in
their opinion granting Stokes new
trial. There are two opinions written
one by Grover, the other by Rappals.
The charge is held to be erroneous on
the point that the law presumes MUIR
der from the fact of the killing, and
calls on the prisoner to mitigate OF
justify. Also there were errors in ex-
cluding proof of threats of the deceas.
ed to kill the prisoner, also error in
permitting Mrs. Morse to contradict
Jenny Turner in collateral matter
called out on cross examination of
Jenny. namely, as whether she left
Mrs. Morse, against her wish, and be-
cause detectives were after her, soon
after the homicide. They were other
points discussed, but these are the
principal ones. When Stokes was in
formed of the decision of the Court Of
Appeals granting him a second trial
he expressed himself we'll pleased, but
added quickly, and and somewhat sadly 3:
1.-The report might possible be untrue,
end the disappointment would be all
the greater if such proved to be the
case" His counsel, relatives and
friends soon arrived at the Tombs, and
there was great deal Of rejoicing
among those interested at the favora.
BILE decision of the appellate court. Dos
Passos says upon the next trial we will
prove to the satisfaction Of the New
York public that there has been gross
misapprehension of the case from the
day of the tragedy, ana he will be able
to establish the fact of his innocence
by an overwhelming character.
Bets on the decision are in favor of
Stokes.

A Very Cool Young Thief:

On Saturday evening a boy named
Charles Thompson, aged about Is
years, son of Mr.. Andrew Thompson
committed daring theft and decamp.
ed from the city. 1t seems that tue
circumstances were about as follows /.
Mr.. Thompson, who is proprietor of
shingle mill, came up town tor the
purpose Of drawing $3.50 to pay his
hands with at 6 o'claek. In his ab-
sence the boy. knowing what his faith
er was after, slipped into the Office and
unlocked back door which was al.
ways kept fastened. On Mr.. Thomp-
SONS return he entered the Office
deposited the $3.50 in a drawer
and went to the mill. Young Thomp-
son now enters the back door. secures
the money and walks leisurely and un-
afectedly to the mill. Here he STEP
ped up to the foreman, named Howard
Murray, and playfully took his watch
valued at $50 out Of his pocket. Cool
ly placing it in his OWE, he asked Mur-
ray when he expected to see it again,
and walked of. Murray thought the
boy was only joking and would soon re-
turn the watch.
It was rot until the hands assembled
at the office to receive Their ray that
Mr.. Thompson discovered the theft.
He Immediately sought relief from
the police, who traced the boy to the
depot, and the freight train going
south. kilograms were sent to Fond
du Lac, Watertown, Green Bay, Mil
waukee and all the towns along the
road. This morning he was heard of
in Watertown. A man who knew him
here saw him on a freight train, and
upon calling him by name, young
Thompson turned his coat collar over
his face and got out of sight. The au-
thorities have got track Of him and he
will doubtless be brought back in day OF
two.- OSHKOSH Northeastern June g.

MIME EXPLOSION,
Fifteen or Twenty Men Suffocated
by Black Damp.

ELMIRA, N. Y, June 1O.-An ex.
pIoSion of fire damp occurred at Henry
Clay colliery, near Shamokin, Pa. this
| afternoon. Shortly after the explosion
eleven persons were taken out of the
mine, eight of them dead, John Hays
the outside foreman being one of the
latter. They were from fifteen to twen-
ty persons still in the mine at the last
accounts, but energetic efforts were
being made to get them out.
SHAMoKIN, Pa, June 10.-This
afternoon an explosion occurred in the
Henry Clay colliery. operated by the
Philadelphia and Reading Coal and
Iron Company near this place. The
colliery has not been inspected for
some time, but was always considered
safe. 1t has the capacity for mining
5000 tons of coal per month, and six
ty FIVE men arc employed in it. Con
rad Brumheiser, the inside boss, went
into an old working on the water level
when the explosion Immediately follow
ed, caused it is thought, by the fire
damp being: fired, which communicated
with the air ways from the water-leyel
into the slope below, where the men
worked.
The miners in this section of the
coal region, not being accustomed to
black damp, thought it was blasting
powder that had been set on fire. They
remanedin in the slope until almost over
come with black damp, and them start
ing to come up, met the body of the
after damp, and fell senseless. The
strong men managed to get out, how
ever, and gave the alarm to guide the
others who followed. but on reaching
the top of the slope they fell back,
being completely overcome. Johu
Hays, outside boss, on herring tie
alarm, Immediately went to their res
cue. After proceeding abont 500
yards he fell face downward In pool
of water and was drowned. Knoch
Magenski was drowned by his side.
Eight men were Brought out dead
There was no caving in Of the mine as
at first supposed, and there was no fault
iii the ventiations. The accident re-
suited from old gas exploding in
disused working. Up to 10 o'clock
ten dead bodies were taken out. Many
Of the men from the surrounding mines
came to render assistance. The ex-
element is Intense. Wives and Gail
dren are rushing to the scene OF the
disaster, and finding their husbands
and brothers grasping for breath, while
others were eagerly watching the arri-
val of friends on the slope wagons from
below. There were fifty men in the
slope at the time Of the explosion, IS
of whom are known to have escaped
and will recover.
William Bromm, a prominent coal
operator at this place, fell down the Dan
lei Webster shaft this afternoon, l65
feet. His leg was broken, and he was
otherwise severely injured.

SEVERE WEATHER IN SCOTLAND
From various parts of Inverness and
Perthshire we have accounts of heavy
snov.lalls and intense coldness of the
weather. The Grampians and other
ranges are covered with snow to a
depth of from six to seven inches, and
the low lying grounds have also a
white and wintry covering. The NOR
tality among the grouse IN consequence
of the storm will be enormous. From
several quarters Of Peathshire the re-
ports state that the birds are found
living dead in dozens, and few if any
nests are to be seen.
