THE HERALD's SPECIAL correspondence
from Milan gives spirited and interesting
account Of the preparations for the reception
of Kaiser Wilhelm at Milan. All Italy was in

RAPID TRANsTT.-The people Of New York
have another instalment Of rapid transit
through the opening of the Greenwich street
railroad extension as far as Forty-second
street and Ninth avenue. Next week the
spider line will reach Fiftieth street, and in
three weeks is expected to be running to
Sixtieth street This latter extension will
give passengers the opportunity Of connect
ing with the ''Belt" railroad at Fifty
ninth street, and SO getting across to the
east side This will be something gained
But the Third avenue line should be none
the less vigorously pushed forward, and if,
as is alleged, the property owners, under the
influence Of the Third avenue horse car
line withhold their consent to its construc-
ton, there should not be days delay in
taking the appeal to the courts provided for
in the constitution and the law.

RETRIBUTIoN. The victory over the Brook

by prosecutions against the defeated ''Ring"

Association is said to have selected law
committee, in whose hands has been placed
the evidence for the prosecution Of the
offending officials and their accomplices.

Here is another college row. Only couple
Of weeks ago the Yale collegians, sitting on
their sacred fence, had the bad manners to
insult procession Of Odd Fellows, and sew
eral Of them got their heads broken, which
nobody regretted. Several others, we hear,
have been suspended And now we hear Of
trouble Of the same kind at Hanover College,
in New Hampshire, where, after misconduct
ing themselves in an auction room, num-
Der Of students assaulted the auctioneer,
imprisoned him in the railroad depot and
conducted themselves generally in an in
decent manner.
We hope the police and the courts will see
to it that these young bloods are punished
for their rowdyism. Boys and young men
are not sent to college merely to acquire q
little Greek, Latin and mathematics. The
college is, or ought to be, place for moral
discipline, and, while we are not disposed to
be over strict with young people, they ought
not to be allowed to make college o
nuisance to the people who are SO unfor-

reject the control of the Faculty they ought
not to be allowed to escape the penalties

Three Hundred Men and Boys shut
Up In a Pit.

LONDON, December 6.-An awful
explosion occurred to-day at the
Swaithe main colliery, neal Bransley.
in the West Riding Of Yorkshire. 1t
is feared that more than two hun
dred lives are lost. The colliery be-
longs to Mitchell & Co., and is one
Of the largest in the southern part Of
Yorkshire. 1t is joined by under
ground workings with Edmund's col
liery, where twelve years ago yes
terday over three hundred persons
periehed. The works extend for
many miles. They are entirely
worked with safety lamps, under
very rigid discipline, and were con-
sidered safe. At six o'clock this
morning about three hundred men
and boys descended and commenced
work as usual. HI half-past nine q
terrific explosion occurred. The ex-
act position of the explosion is at
present not known, but the miners in
all parts of the pit were startled by
a loud report, followed by large
volumes Of smoke and after-damp.
Those who were able rushed to the
Dit bottom, but the drawing cage
was displaced. As soon as possible
volunteers organized to search for
dead and dying and those who had
escaped After being down for some
time, the volunteers reported about
noon that they met with great diff
Guilty. They saw many who were
alive, but unconscious. 1t is impos-
sible now to give the number of the
lost. 1t is feared that the first re-
port, two hundred, will be confirmed,
though the managers of the cOlllery
hope that many may be saved. The
operatives in all the coilieries Of the
district are on the spot, ready and
anxious to do all possible for the re-
lief of the sufferers. All the local
surgeons have also arrived. All
those who have been rescued thus far
are seriously burned and injured.
Hundreds of men, women and chill
dren are c~ongregated at the mouth of
the pit, and as the disfgured bodies
are drawn to the surface the Gene is
of the most heartrending character.
LATER.-The latest accounts from
the Swaithe colliery indicate that the
total number Of lives lost is l40. The
explosion was caused by careless
blasting operations. Another disas-
ter of a similar character is reported
to-day in a coal mine near P~entyrch,
in South Wales. Twelve persons
were killed and ten injured.

Lost on the Plains.

PLATTvILLE, COLORADO TERRIFIC
RY, November 29.-On Saturday
evening last our town was startled
by the report that a little girl, aged
about nine years, alvin daughter of
a Mr.. Sutherland, who recently
moved into the neigbborhood, was
lost on the plains. 1t appears that
the child accompanied her father in
search Of cattle, and when about two
miles ont they found some calves,
one of which had a bell attached to
its neck. The COWS not bling in
sight, the father directed the child to
follow the calves, which he supposed
would go directly home, while be
went in search of the cows. 1t was
then 4;30 T.. M. At abou. 6 O'Clock
the father returned home, and was
alarmed to learn that mis- little daugh-
ter had not come in, but was all the
while supposed by its mother to be
with the father. The alarm was
given to the people in the village, and
twenty or o persons went out and
secured the country for six or eight
hours in every direction, but without
success, though some of them were
out until 5 O'Clock next morning, and
two, n a boy of seventeen, having
themselves been lost, old not reach
rome until 8 O'Clock Sunday morn
ing. On Sunday some forty men
and boys on horseback and at least
twenty on foot went out, notwith-
standing the extreme cold, west wind,
but after hunting all day, returned
Unsuccessful. Again ON Monday
morning men from every direction
were on the hunt, and in the most
systematic n examined a wide
strip of country, from the Platte to
near the Box Elder, and were still
looking, headed toward home, when
a signal gun was heard. by which all
knew the child had been found. 1t
appears the little one followed the
calves Tor a time, but as they did not
go toward home she became con-
scious she was lost. At first she
says she wandered around, but hear
ing the wolves growing around her
she started in a straight course,
which took her to the Box Elder, and,
without knowing what direction she
was taking she followed the bed of
the creek until daylight. At that
time she saw trees on the Platte. and
started for them arriving at the ranch
OF MIR. John Beebe, about four miles
below Evans, at 10 O'Clock Sunday
morning, having travelled constantly
for eighteen hours, and probably a
distance of not less than. TWENTY-FIVE
miles When asked if she was not
frightened. she said no. She said
the wolves kept close TO her heels
and snapped at her feet;
but that her mother told her that if
she was good the Lord would always
take care of her, aud so she knew the
wolves would o hurt her, because
God wouldn't let them. After being
kept at the house of Mr.. Beebe until
the following day, Monday, she was
brought home as sound aud fresh as
though she had only taken q short
walk of ten or twelve miles.
