The English Disaster.

The latest accounts frcm the scene of
the colliery explosion at Newcastle-under-
Tyne fix the number of persons in the pit
when the explosion occurred, at ninety
seven. 1t is believed that not more than
six of the rescued can possibly recover.
Twenty-Five corpses have already been
brought up, a majority of them being so
disfgured as to be unrecOgnizablc. The
few who were rescued alive are dying
1apidlv, The scene at the mouth of the pit
is most heartrending.
One of the recovered cOrpses has lost
part of the head. Some of the others were
burned to cinders, while some appear to
have been killed by cOncussion. The part
of the Lycett cOlliery where the explosion
occurred is known as the Fair Lady pit
and is the same in which. six men were
killed last autumn. The coal belongs to
the Banbury or fiery scam, in which all
of the great Staffordshire explosions have
occurred.
A fire has been raging in the pit with
great violence since the disaster, hindering
the efforts of the explorers and precluding
all hopes of any of the victims being res
cued alive.
A later dispatch says the fire is being
subdued and large quantities of debris
have been removed, enabling the ex-
plorers to proceed more rapidly. The
latest report places the total number of
deaths at seventy. Another explosion is
feared.
Five more bodies have been recovered
from the mine, and twenty others have
been found in the pit. They will be
brought up tonight. Ventilation has been
restored.

Another Judges Judgment Upset.

Nothing is more natural than the feel
ing of the average citizen that the judge
of a court is the fountain of wisdom and
Justice, invested with dignity that is to
be respected, authority that is to be fear
ed, knowledge that is to be reverenced,
and inspired with zeal for the
right that should command for
him the confidence and support
of the whole community. One who sits
upon the bench is popularity regarded
with something of the alteration that
makes the Hindoo admit that though he
knows his god is ugly he feels that he is
great.
Consequently the average behOlder
looks upon the judge not as a school,
master to keep his bar in order, nor us a
mere preliminary trier of causes, whose
rulings if erroneous can be reversed by a
higher and wiser court, but as vindica-
tor of all rights and punisher of all
wrongs that are connected with the ad-
ministration of the law and the dispsnsa-
tion of justice. Every judge can bear
witness to the many times he is beset
by simple-minded people who mean no
harm in presenting him with their griev-
ances and appealing to him for what they
conceive to he their rights. They can
easily be admOnished by a righteous
Judge and shown, without resort to harsh
means, the improperly of their conduct
which at most is far less than that of
some intelligent and sworn attorneys who
tamper with courts in various devious
ways, or than even that of judges them
selves who stOOp from their high estate
to peddle their opinions among those
who have a mercantile interest in them.
or seek judicial inspiration in private
conferences with one of two sides to a
pending issue.
For which reason it seems to us that
Judge Elcock, of Philadelphia, has been
quite unnecessarily disturbed overa very
natural letter addressed to him by a
poor and apparently ignorant man, with
sick family, who has been denied his
witness fees, on technical grounds, for
enforced attendance in court during
which and owing to which he lost his
situation and the means to earn bread
for the living and comforts for the dying
members Of his household. This man was
dragged from his daily work by the pro-
cess of the court, and he incurred, by no
fault of his, the loss of his situation.
He knows that the court was paid for
not hearing the case, that the district
attorney got his fees for not trying it,
that all the counsel were Handsomely
compensated for getting it settled, and

An CnwOnted Halo IlIuniineS the Bench and

Last evening, ere the golden sun sought
his alleged couch beneath the western hor
izon, he took occasion to ilumine, with un-
wonted brilliancc by reflected light, the
honorable court and the distinguished
crier The rays Of the sun reflected from the
windows of the buildings east of the court
house were thrown back into the court
room, causing the bald head of the crier to
glisten like an electric light, and the gold
spectacles of the court to glow with the
effuIgence of band Of diamonds. Being
rendered by this glare of light almost as
blind as the wooden figure OF justice that
surmounts the dome of the court house,
the honorable court said, pointing to the
window:
"Tipstave, close that blind
The tipstave did as directed.
That's not the right blind,' said the
crer in commanding tones. " Close the
blind of the next window"
''NeveT mind, tipstave,' said the court :;
''the blind you have closed is the right one,
the light does not shine upon us now.'
'But it shines on me-, replied the cricr.
"That's all right" said the court.
1t may be right enough for you, but it

want that blind closed.'
The tipstave closed it, the crer nodded
approvingIy, sank deeply into the soft
