THE BURNING MINES.

Pottsville, Pa, Jan. 5.-Colliery No. 4,
near Summit Hill, is still burning. AS
the coal burns away the ground caves in,
endangering life and properly. One OF
the engine houses at the head of the
slope Caved in this afternoon and six men
were overcome by sulpher and smoke,
and were carried home insensible.
Pottsville, Pa, Jan. 6.-The fire in the
mine at Summit Hill still burns 6ercely.
The ground continues to give way, and in
addition to the engine house, with its val
liable machinery,that went down yester-
day, it is now feared that the fan house,
used for purifying the air in the mines,
will soon fall in. The five men working
at the burning mine were overcome by
sulpher,bu it is thought they will recov-
er. The losg thus far will probably reach
$4,000.

very large one, shipping about 100 car
loads of coal daily. The loss is about

The Hon. Alexander H. Stephens has

THE Hon. Alexander II. Stephens has
written to the International RevielO to un.
fold plan for counting the electoral vote
for President and Vice President Of the
United States. The following abstract
from his paper will give good idea Of
his object
The true rule, then, would seem, from
he language Of the constitution, If adj
hered to in good faith, TO be, chat all mat
ters appertaining to the count, involving
questions of disputed votes, and all mat
ters relating to the validity or invalidity
of the returns furnished to the President
OF the Senate, as well as all questions
touching the constitutional qualifications
of electors, shall be determined by both
houses in Joint convention, Had it been
the intention that these questions should
be determined by each House separately
not acting in concert with the other, why
was it not expressly said ? Why was the
power of counting conferred upon both
houses, ifboth houses in joint action were
not to determine the question; and how
could both houses in joint action determ-
inc such question in any other way, as
the Constitution stands, than by per.
capita voter This would seem TO be the
legitimate construction-violating no
principle and jeopardizing no rights or
interests. Looking to the character of
objects had in view in the Constitution
in regulating tie choice of President and
Vice President, is there, therefore, any
IA e. l. l.
listing evils, and especially those which
were so glaring and threatening at the
last election, except the adoption of
joint rule by the two Houses, providing
that the validity Of the returns and the
constitutional qualifications of Electors
shall be determined and settled by the
members of the two Houses in joint con.
vention, as above stated, that is, by a per
capita vote Itseems to the writer of this
article that there is not.

IT seems there has been a plan agreed
upon to investigate Hayes's title. Ben
Butler, cooperating with other Republi'
cans of the House, will introduce reso.
luton to investigate, basing the demand
upon the cry of fraud raised by the De-
mocracy. He will say 1--WE now come
forward and ask you to join us in an in
quiry. If we find the facts bear out the
charges you have always made, we will
cooperate in securing Tilden the seat,

Gambetta has spoken with moderation
andwisdom of the submission of Mac
Mahon. The following are reported as
his utteranCes;
How should be dissatisfied when 1
see so grievous a crisis 30 happily ended.
At is the first victory gained by the legis-
dative power over the proceedings of per-
sonal power, and that without any revo-
luton, riot or disturbance. That is new
event in our history, and all due to Dem
ocratic institutions. If you are not satis-
fed you are very hard to please.
We must be prudent, moderate, concil-
iatory. The Republican party must be in
power when the Universal Exhibition is
opened; itmust govern when we have to
proceed to the elections of the Municipal
Councils and to the renewal of the Senate
in 1879. After these two great acts are
over, the Republic will no longer have
anything to fear from its adversaries; it
will be defnitively founded.

QUKEREST ITEM IN THE BILL.
New York SUM-


Adjutant- General Latta Of Pennsylva-
mia already figures up the cost ofthe July
riots at nearly half million dollars, of
which the chief part goes for paying and
feeding the militia. The queerest item in
the bill strikes us as being the $4,000
which the Reading Railroad charges for
crrrying troops to save the railroads pro-
perty. The Pennsylvania railroads bill
for likeservices viii, when rendered prove
vastly heavier. Considering that the off,
ciousness with, which the Pennsylvania
Railroad officials seized upon the militia
on arriving at Pittsburgh, and stationed
them, like so many private watchman,
where their own interests rather than the
public good required them to be, was found
blythe Pittsburgh Grand Jury to be chief
cause of the costly and bloody riot there,
the bills charged by the railroads for
transporting troops will be the sorest oi
ALI to pay.

STRAW AND GRASS as FUEL.

Americans are learning from the Men
nonites, Prof. Butler writes from Nebras-
ka to Chicago Times: "Of late 1 have
eaten dinner cooked by grass, as well
as examined straw furnaces in the house
of Bishop Peters and scores of his flock.
There has been no freezing in his house
(48x26) during the two years since it was
built. Yet his only winter fuel has been
straw, and his furnace, the iron work
cost $50, is heated only three times a
day. What Nebraska had wasted now
warns thousand Muscovites. Russian
furnaces, notice, are already set up in
the houses of Yankees, who see that If
their fuel shall be henceforth costly or
their dwellings cold, the fault will be
their own"

EXPLOSION ON A STEAMSHIP.

Newport, R. l., January 5.-When the
steamer Old Colony, from Fall River for
New York, was off Point Judith early this
morning, with very high sea running
and heavy gale prevailing the flange Of
the upper steam chest, which connects a
vertical steam pipe running above the
hurricane deck, burst, breaking the pipe

throwing the smoke stack across the up.
per deck. The startled passengers, of
whom there were seventy-fve, attempt
ed to escape from their rooms, but were
driven back by steam and smoke, which
filed the cabins, and made their way on
deck through the windows. Rockets were
sent up and the whistle sounded, but no
assistance came. The boat fell into the
trough of the sea, and was swept by the
waves, making her position perilous, A
quantity of the cargo was thrown over
board. Finally after drifting about TWEEN.

towed the disabled steamer to port. Only
one passenger, woman, was scalded, but

Nlncty.fOur Lives Lost-Full Particulars Of the
Disaster.
Panama, December 25.-The Star and
Herald has letter from Lima, giving the
particulars ofthe loss of the steamer Alta
CANA, which went to pieces on rock
known as Quiebra 0las, short distance
south of Caldera, on the Chilian Coast,on
the night of the 30th. The Captain, all of
the officers and many of the crew and
passengers were lost. In all it is estima-
ted that one hundred and one persons
we're drowned and twenty.nine saved.
The ship was on trip from Valparaiso
to Callas. She struck at eight p. when
majority of the passengers were below,
and 80 instantaneous was the breaking
up of the ship that no time was given to
gain the deck. The cargo lost was not of
great value, and the passengers were most
ly Chilians journeying between the ports.
Mr.. Kennedy, agent for the Pacific
Steam Navigation Company at Chanaral,
was returning from Valparaiso on his
wedding trip He managed to fasten a
life belt on his bride, and threw himself
with her in the water, but before they
could extricate themselves from the float
ing debris, spar fell, striking the lady on
the neck, causing instant death. The hus.
band afterwards reached the shore, and
the body of the bride was washed upon
the beach. The bodies of Captain Lam
bert and of the purser were recovered.
Later information says the passengers
numbered fifty-four, and the crew seven
ty, total of one hundred and twenty
four. II appears the shock burst certain
pipes connected with the boiler, and the
escape of steam, mixed with Cinder, pre-
vented anybody getting on deck to lower
the boats. with the aid of which and life
buoys all on board might have been saw
ed, The total number saved is thirty.
