kaloosa, are in no small breezy con-
troversy. The city does not grow and
flourish to suit and the reasons and
remedies are various, and it is about
these that the breeze is rising. The
Oskaloosa Herald intimates that $780,
600 of trade is lost annually to Oska-
loose because of the rigid prohibition
of liquor selling there. The coal mi
ners and many Others do all their
trading in the small towns where
they can get their toddy. This opin-
ion held by several, is strenuously
combatted by others, and really the
fur les lively. This model temper
ance town is actually discussing the
question as to whether it is not too
temperate to flourish well. Strange,

MR.. McKELVY's PARTY.
From the Clinton Herald.

There are come uneasy temperance
people in Iowa who are hot for pro-
hibition party. OF this class the
Blue Ribbon Neacs is the organ. The
Ioaca Investigator, another temper
ance paper, takes different view. 1t
urges with great force, that . prohib-
tory party, to succeed, must have .
majority of the voters, and that the
attempt to organize q separate party
will drive many from their prohibit
ton principles. The Ne,Us scouts all
this and insists that party can be
built up, whether it wins at first or
not.
The anxiety Of the Neacs to be q
party organ, and of some of its back
ers to run for Office, is tho secret OF
this display OF zeal. Such blindness
cannot otherwise be accounted for.
Temperance cannot be carried into
politics without AN immense loss OF

THE SULLIVAN DIS AsTER,
Full Particulars Of the Terrible
EvnaAAlAA

TERRE HAUTE, Nov. 22.-The fol-
lowing is q correct account of the ex-
plosion in the coal mine of Hartford
Brothers, at Sullivan, Is miles south
of this city, at o'clock yesterday aft
ernoon. 1t was the gas only which
exploded. A dozen kegs of powder
had been stored In the magazine in
the upper vein, but it was not ignited.
The depth of the upper vein is pol
feet, and the other vein lie 65 feet low
er. Two entries or rooms were be-
ing excavated towards each other.
The gas had accumulated in the roof
of one. The miners in the other
thought that any moro blasting might
go through and fire the gas in the
other entry. They were directed to
fan the gas out of it before connecting
the two openings. One of the men,
however, took the risk and fired one
more blast. 1t broke through the
thin wall of coal and the accumulat-
ed gas exploded with a tremendous
conclusion. The men were killed by
the shock or soon died of suffocation.
There were at the time % miners al
work, of whom ID were in the lower
vein. Seven of these were saved aft
er the lapse Of over an hour, but how
they managed to survive in the dense
fumes and damp is o mystery. The
IL men on the upper vein were badly
stunned but unhurt. The eight kill.
ed are Tom Hartford, s. Hartford.
Jack Leeds, Albert Smith, John Bull
ger, VIM. Sales and Patrick Dunn.
There were four or five men courage
Gus enough to 20 into the lower vein
after the explosion but after they had
saved the seven who were living they
worked on till 3 o'clock this morning
recovering the bodies of the dead.
Then work was resumed after a rest
Of three hours, and by IL o'clock to-
day the last corpse was taken out. In
gress to the vein was obtained
through q very small hole in the de-
bris. The first two in the list above
were among the proprietors. of whom
there were four. Four of the bodies
are shockingly burned and bruised.
Harper and Croutch, two young men
who were among the seven saved
from the low er vein, are badly burn
ed and the former has his leg broken
and arm burned to n crisp, besides
other injuries which may prove fatal.
The bodies were taken to the homes
of the men and will be buried to-
morrow, without inquest. The tim
beers of the mine are badly shattered,
and one of the surviving proprietors
estimates the damage at $1,000. The
citizens of Sullivan are subscribing
literally toward the relief of bereft
families. Joseph Hartford, Tom IT.
vim and Jack Smith distinguished
themselves for their bravery in peril
ing their lives to save the living. and
the recovery of the dead. The last
named especially won the common
dation Of the whole community.
