ENGLISH COAL NINE HORROR.

Further Particulars of the Explosion in
tho Evans Coal Mine-Nearly Three Hun.
tlred Miners Killed.
LONDON, june S-The explosion in the Evans
coal mines at Haydock yesterday, occurred al
eleven in the morning. The Wood-Pitt col
iery consists of two mines, Rayenshead and
Florida The explosion was confined to the
last named. The men went to work at GA. NJ
The condition of the mine was examined into
as usual, and ten minutes before the disaste,
it was, to ali appearances. safe. There were
$50 men in the Wood-Pitt cslliery, IS being il
the Ravenshead, and the remainder in the
Florida mine. The men in the Rayenshead
were got out. One died at once and the Others
were much affected by the after damp. The
two mines are connected by tunnel, and i.
was in the working of the Florida mine beyond
the tunnel, the explosion occurred. 1t is the
general opinion that every man in that part OF
the mine is dead. Explorers found
DEAD BODIES OF MEN
and horses ON every side, fearfully burnt and
mutilated, giving evidence of the dreadful
occurred. The men engaged in exploring the
mine are working day and night, endeayorine
to reach the place where most of the bodies are
supposed to lie. Great crowds of men, women
and children have assembled in the vicinity OF
the pit, and
GENERAL GRIRf
prevailed, nearly every family in the village
of Haydock having suffered the loss of one o,
more of its members. No powder was used in
the mine. The manager of the mine went
down into the mine five minutes after the ex-
plosion, and finding a number of men at the
bottom, lying on their faces, opened the ven.
tilating doors, and thus saved the lives of eight
men in the Ravenshead mine. The bodies
already found are all much disfgured. 1t will
probably be days before all the bodies are
recovered. The explorers have suffered great
y and have to be constantly relieved. A large
staff of doctors is in attendance Crowds o,
women surround thelpit since the explosion
weeping and begging for news from the explor-
ers, but on the whole the people are very

A TEMPERANCE VICTORY AT
ALBANY.-The temperance people
won decided victory in the New
York Assembly on Wednesday in
the defeat Of what was known as the
"Holahan BILL" which provided for
granting licenses to other than hotel
keepers, while the licenses themselvt s
were to be without limitation. 1t
also allowed of the sale of wines, ale
and beer, as well as of liquors, within
certain hours on Sunday. The New
York Tribune thinks it less likely
than,ever now that the liquors dealers
will get any legislation favorable to
their interests. 1t is said the feeling
in New York is in favor of a bill that
will give the liquor dealers fair play,
without anything that savors Of ex-
clusiveness or persecution, but this
Holahan bill was an extreme meas
ure, that took everything and conce-
ded nothing.

Ex-Governor Dingley, of Maine
published the following statistics,
which he claims show correctly the
effect OF the prohibition of the sale of
liquors (save by agencies) in that
State. In 1880, thirteen distilleries
made 100000 gallons of liquor, now
there is not distillery or brewery in
Maine. In 1877 there were sold by
2008 taverns, hotels and saloons $l0,-
100000 worth. of liquors, or $40 to
each inhabitant. In 1877 the aggre-
gate sales of 100 town agencies were
100000, or Is cents to each inhabi-
tant. Including clandestine sales, the
highest total for the year claimed is
81 200, 900, or 50 for each inhabitant.
In 1866 the deaths from delirium'
tremens were 200; now they are not
over so annually. Ex-Governor
Dingley claims, also that crime and
pauperism have been greatly reduced
in the State, but does not give the
exact statistics.

Sights I've Seen.

I've seen the beggar wandering through
The dense and crowded street,
With wavering form and palsied hand,
Trembling, unsteady feet;
And when asked how he who once
In grandeur high did dwell,
Had fallen so low, he answered me;
Through rum, the curse of hell"
I've seen the ravlng maniac wild,
With crashing teeth and flaming eye,
Cursing the world In which he lived,
Praying that he might die.
And had asked what brought him to
That dread and dismal CELL
Iwould have have learned from those who
Twas rum, the curse of hell
I've seen upon the scaffold stand
A youth of noble form,
And thought in a distant home heard
The wailing of hearts forlorn.
gazed upon that handsome face,
saw the body as it fell,
And as turned, whisper said,
Twas rum, the curse of hell.
I've seen the man of letters,
OF genius and of strength,
Lying in the muddy gutter,
Stretched at his full length.
Men of science and of knowledge,
have watched them as they fell
From the highest rounds of fame,
Through rum, the curse of hell.
I've seen the fond wife weep
Ger loved husbands fall,
And I've known their starving children
For crust of bread to call.
l have seen the little creatures,
Begging food from day to day,
While he who should have loved them
In the filthy gutter lay

Wine VS.. LEGISLATION.

We are afraid that the announce
1nent of champagne "spread" ready
and waiting, had more to do with
the final passage of Mr.. Blair's reso-
latiOn than that statesman is willing
to admit. He draws it rather strong
when he assumes that the entire pop
ulation of the State is as enthusiastic
as himself.
The above is from the Baltimore
daily Gazette of the 9th.
1t is simply disgraceful that a
MARYLAND legislature should even be
suspected of being influenced by a
"chanapagne Spread" However silly
Mr.. Blair's resolutions may have
been, and in whatever light the peo-
pie may choose to look at it, matters
but little ; but it does matter to the
people of Maryland that the assertion
shall 60 forth from so respectable
paper as the G0zette, that this meas
ure, involving, at the least, national
notice and universal comment, was
passed by the influences surrounding
the wine table.
There can be but one conclusion
drawn, and that is, without wine it
would not have passed. 1t should
bring the blush to the cheek of every
Marylander to have to confess that
this is so. Had the friends of tenn
perance made this charge against the
Legislature through the public press,
in reference to the defeat of the Lo-
cal Option bill it would have called
forth Mr.. Higgins with an order de-
nouncing it falsehood, and yet, it is
a well-known fact that Whiskey,
champagne, ct ceter0 flowed extern
sively ar the expense of the respec-
table wholesale liquor dealers. 1t is
fact that cannot be denied, that it
was the fear of the liquor dealers in
fuence in politics, that defeated Local
Option. There was not a man in
either House who did not recognize
chat it was fair Democratic meas
ure, and more than that, that large
majority of the people of the State
desired the law to pass. Tidal
