Mr. EDITOR: Permit me space for comment on
the article attacking me in connection with the
Driscoll Walk, which appeared in the Sunday
Times of the 9th inst. Having been repeatedly
warned during the pastweek OF the feeble threat
enipgs of MIR. Morse of thst paper, and advised Dy
well meaning friends to call on and appease tne
wounded feelings of that presumptuous gentle
man, anu surprised that the result OF my IN
difference and neglect toward him should take
SO mild form
may assume him to be equally unconscious
Of both ths utter falsity aud the gross imperti-
nence Of his report, aud will courteously attri-
butte his error in the first instance either to his
imagination or his credulity, AID in the second
to an illiberal education in the habits and Gus
toms of gentlemen. The secret of his spite, land
the, to him, all important defect in the man
agement. may be summed up IN neglect TO
b1y TWO squares in the amusement Column of
his paper, and a subsequent refusal and repeat
ed denial of his own arrogant demand for a
dead head ticket, coupled with his dignifed de.
termination not to take no for an answer. 60

Reaun In q Coal Mine.

SCRANTON, Pa, November "A tire.
mendous explosion of fire damp occur
red in the Delaware and Hudson mine
at Mill Creek, Pa, at half-past nine
this morning. At twelve O'Clock
George Foroey, Daniel Rupp and W.
Kinney were taken out of the niue.
Two men yet remain in the mine. A
large forcn is working to get them out.
The bodies of the men were fearfully
mangled and partly covered by a mass
Of splinters, timbers and broken coal.
Forcey's leg was blown of and Kinney's
head smashed. The men we're dead
when found. The clothing was burned
almost entirely off the bodies of Jenk-
kins and Thomas. The bodies were
hoisted to the surface, amidst the weep
ing and lamentations of the frieds aud
relatives of the unfortunate miners, the
remains of Rupp, Forcey and Kinney
first being brought, out afterwards those
Of Thomas and Jenkins.
As the five men who first entered the
mine were al! killed it cannot be def
nitely ascertained how the catastrophe
occurred. 1t Is thought, however, that
the flame from one of the miners lamps
came in contact with some gas and
caused the explosion. Everything was
in good condition when Mine Boss Cook
visited the mine this morning. Three
OF the men leave large families, one of
them wife. Jenkins was widowsr.
