Terrible Explosion in a Mine.

Not long ago terrible explosion of
fire damp occurred at the .Kaitangata
coal mine, Dunedin, New Zealand.
Thirty-five men and one boy were in the
mine, all of whom were killed, the boy
being blown distance of fifty yards.
Over one hundred children were render
ed fatherless by the accident. At the
mines mouth the air was filled with the
lamentations of women and children
1t was a sad sight to see the dead men
brought out one by one, and laid on
stretchers. All the faces excepting two
appeared as if in sleep, but the two
youths who had charge of the horses
were battered about the head, having
been blown some distance. A thic
green smoke hung like pail over the
tunnel for about ten minutes. The mine
IS entered by a main drive or tunnel.
The workings rise as they penetrate the
hill, and the fall which assists the drain
age causes foul air to accumulate in the
upper end of the mine. The workings
extend about five hundred yards from
the entrance. Most of the men appeared
to have escaped the first effect of tn,
fire damp, and were making for tn,
mouth of the mine when they wer,
overpowered by the after damp.
Some of them must have pushed alons
from one to two hundred yards befor,
they fell. At one place thirteen bodie
were found in heap.

CONGRESSIONAL SUMMARY.
Senate.


Mr. Paddock introduced joint resolution to
authorize the appointment of three Senators
and three members of the House OF Repre-
sentatives as a commission to devise a plan for
the reconstruction of the Department of Agri-
culture, with n view of extending its jurisdic-
ton and increasing its efficiency, with power
to send for persons and papers, and to report
at the next session Of Congress. Mr.. Paddock
also introduced bill to establish national
board OF agriculture; referred to the Com
mittee on Agriculture. Adjourned, after an
executive session.
The debate on the Army bill was closed with
speeches by Mcssrs. Singleton, Hawley, Tuck
er and Garfield, and by O number of Greenback
members-Messrs. Weaver, De La Matyr,
Jones and Wright. The most striking address
which came from the GreenbacSers was that
made by Mr. Weaver, of Iowa. The burden OF
his remarks was q protest against the INTRODUCE
ton of sectional issues into Congress at the
time when, as he said, the country is suffering
for the want of legislation to relieve it from its
financial distress. He berated both parties for
neglecting what he considered the weightier
matter, and warned them of their approaching
overthrow unless they should turn from their
sectional disputes and give their attention to
financial issues. He said that he favored the
repeal of the sections of law authorizing the
use Of United States troops to preserve the
peace at the polls and requiring jurors to take
the iron-clad oath; but he was in favor Of re.
tanning those sections providing for the appoint.
ment of United States supervisors, with certain
notifications He also believed that a consti-
tutional amendment should be adopted, giving
| to the President power to veto any portion Of
n bill which he would not appfave, while sign.

MIGHTY Poor ENCUsE.-The crudife and
Judicial minded editor of the Hiswatha Dispatch
defends or excuses W. II Sualluood's treatment
"f his wife. upoa the ground that when he was
a mere boy. he enlisted in the army, and advanc-
ed by his OWN merits until he became Captain
of niger company, was elected Secretary of
State and failed to go higher, because the people
found him ont in the meantime. That alters
the case. II he went into the army when . mere
boy, he bad right not only to desert his wife,
but before doing 50, he should have kicked her
until her nose bled. We are surprised that .
woman has the effrontery to complain Of . man
who went into the army when mere boy, and
who in two terms Of a State Office, managed to
gamble away his substance, and to efectualIy
play himself ont with tine public. But, in addi-
tion, Smallwood has written letter to friend,
saying that he was fully justified in his proceed
ings. We will take the statement Of that injur.
ell woman, bearing truth in every sentence, in
preference to the oath of Mr.. gambler and wife,
deserter Smallwood, even though he did 60 into
the army when q mere boy.
Since the above was in type, we have rceceiv-
ed n copy of communication from Mr.. Small
wood to the Portland Oregonian, which is main
~
and a son of Mrs. Smallwood by former hus-
band. He speaks as if Mrs. Smallwood's state
ment were written by us, when he knows full
well that she was the author, aud that she told
the truth. The remainder of the communities.
tiol is devoted to excusing himself, but lawyers
who have examined his statements, say there is
thnness in them that will not hold water.
He gives list of furniture, stock, buggies, &c,
that he purchased for Mrs. Smallwood, before
leaving, that would set up Filth Avenue Prince
or millionaire farmer. The list includes two
pianos, two sewing machines, and two cook
stoves. But he fails to tell that he sold most of
this furniture, before leaving Topeka, to pay
debts incurred by his dissipation. The Oresoni-
an evidently considers his story flimsy, as We
understand that it publishes an editorial reply
to his communication. His slurs and inuendoes
against his deserted wife, contained 10 his COM
mnnication, are emnently worthy Of the man.
He aspires to high position in Washington
Territory. Let the people beware of him, ifthey
do not wish to get fraud of very small calbre
upon their hands.
