A number Of saloon-ksspsn were ar
raignsd before Judge CRASMRR, yester.
day, for ,kssping their places open and
selling without license. The license
granted last year, expired on the first
day OF Nay. Prior to that time three
things were settled, viz:
I. That the city would permit all per-
sons engaged in that business to renew
their license for another year.
II. That the saloon keepers were ready
and willing to pay Tor their licenses AID
take them out.
III. That the new licenses, whenever
Issued, would date from the expiration OF
the old ones. E--la s. o.. &
The oaly hindrspce to the saloon
men procuring their license and going
right on was, CouLcil had not yet ssid
what they we're to pay. Therefore, there
seemed to DO no great violence commit
ted by these parties when they opened
their doors as usual the morning after the
expiration of their license. Their rent
was going on as usual; their taxes were
running on; their investments were kept
up; and their license tax would ulti-
mstely be collected without deduction.
Legally, the saloon keepers may have
been in the wrong; in equity, they were
right. Blu, this is not tho only instance
wherein Lao has done violence to the
Right.

Terrible Explosion Of Mine Gas.

PoTTsYILLE, Pa May "a great
explosion OF gas occurred this morCiug
in the Wsdesville nines, near st. CLAIR.
A number OF men are imprisoned. 1t
seems impossible TO rescue them.
1t Is reported from St. Clair, that thir
ty men arc imprisoned in the Wsdes-
VILE mine, and their cries for sssistan o
can be heard. SIX bodies have already
been recovered.
ST. CLAIR, PA, May ga terrible
explosion OF gas occurred IN the Wades-
vile mines, near st. Clair, at 10 o'clock
this morning killing and wounding nine
men, and irnprisonlng ive others. The
Wsdesville Shaft is 800 feet deep and is
between PottsviIe and 81. CLAIR. 1t is
operated by the Philadelphis and Read
ing Coal Company. The first warning
of the accident WAS a sudden alarm sent
up to the bosses tor aid. De
scendlng Immediately. they recovered
the bodie, of John Durktn and William
Kirk, who wero Killed outright, and
hoisted to the surface. Seven more men
were then reached, all seriously burned,
aud 1t Is thoug BIT that three cannot pos
sibly recover. The five men imprisoned
are behind two hundred tons of coal, dis.
placed By the explosion. A large force
of miners are rendlng this mass Of coal
Some think the imprisoned men can be
reacbed by night while others say it will
be impossible to iberate the men before
morning, az the gangwsy IN which they
are confined runs und the surface for
over mile. and getting at them IS a
slow and lsbOrious task. The scene at the
mouth of the shaft is sheart.rendlng. Large
mum bers of men, women and children are
gathered there, a. xIously awaiting the
rescue Of their friends and relatives.
The names OF four OF the five men i'm
prisoned, are Bey Msseley, Herbert
Moore. Thos. COnners and Jas. Mllwoed.
Before the men can be rescued, IL ia fear
ed It will be too late to save their lives.
They have been in since ten o'clock, and
at | p. NJ. their chances Of escape is
gloomy.
Thomas Conners was among the last
of the men brought out, bis head and
both legs were blown of. Rob.. Moore,
another victim, presented trightful sp-
pearance, his face and body being dread
fully burned and di.Hgured. John Dur
kin was thrown with great violence
against the props and walls and instant
" killed. Edward Weskliu, who escaped,
describes the gas after ignlting as flying
through the NINE with ligutnlng rapidlty,
destroying everything in Its psth.
WeskIin heard the first report and
quickly laid down and the gas passed
over him. 1t soon become necessary to
fan fresh air INTO the mine, for 80 foul
has the gas become that those sent down
to rescue the men can only work at short
intervals. James Lesdy wss badly
burned: it is doubtful if he can recover.
Two miners have just ccme up. They
report that large quantity OF coal has
fallen on Benz. Mosely, and that 1t will
be imp ssble to get at him Tor some
time. No hopes are entertained for his
recovery alive.
The lates, informasion indicates that
seven men have been killed and six seri.
ously injured by the explosion.
PHILADELPHIA, May 9.-Three more
bodies have been recovered, leaving two
men in the mine.

THE STRIKE OF THE BROTHER
HOOD OF ENGINEERS.

Abiding TO the strike OF the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers on the
Reading railroad, the Philadelphia BM
letur, in its local column us, says:
The strike virtually ended some time
ago, and some OF the employees OF the
company who are now without situations
IN consequence OF their enthusiasm on
behalf OF the Brotherhood, now complain
bitterly that the promises held out to
them have not been fulfilled. These
men can never obtain employ nlent again
from the company. General Manager
WOotten said last evening: Il bad on
my office table IN PhiIadeIphis to-day be-
tween ], 500 aud 1000 applications for
positions on the road, OF which 500 were
from engineers. / do not fear any fur
ther trouble from our employees. The
road Is running smoothly, and we have
not had single accident caused by Our
new men,
Abiding editorially to the result OF
the strike the Bulletin says:
"The general opinion here is that 1t is
over now. The places of the discharged
engineers have been filed, and filled by
men who are ~ be retained permanently.
A more hopeless case Tor strikers proba-
bly, WAS never presented"
We are heartily glad to record this
fact, 10 well for the interest OF the engi-
neers as of the public. These are poor
times for strikes among laborers. With
thousands of skilled mechanics out OF
work, and no demand for their labor, tor
those to strike who have situations, Is ln-
sanity. There are too many hungry
mouths and willing hands ready to fiji
the places thus made vacant. Besides,
in almost every branch of business, the
employee Is now making more money
than the employer, and this applies to
railroads as we'll as to private business.
