miners and the serious injury Of another.
The O'Clock shift was coming of, and
the cage, with the ill.fated miners upon
it. started for the surface. After il
nscended about 30J feet the cable broke
at the reel aud the cnge fell. For some
reason rs yet unexplained, the safeties
did not catch, AMI 400 feet Of wire rope
went down the shat. upon tue wreck.
At o'clock this morning tho mangled
bodies Of the following men were
brought up: John Roach. Patrick
Murphy. Dick Ryden, Thomas Meuger.
Mat. Winnie, Joseph Hannahah, VIM.
Corbett, George FLTnham and Jerry
Sullivan. Three OF the number, Mea-
gh.r, Winnie and sullivan leave famil-

English make, four aud half by one.

Tho only explanation OF the accident.
is that ,liis Ak handle caught the timbers

The National Democratic Committee
has issued Vie following statement reia.
tive to the Election in Maine: The
latest reliable and official returns re.
ceived from Maine give Plaisted TO-
Olo votes, Davis 7O.6ss; Republican
majority go. In the shme towns In
1876 the opposition vote was 57,99i.
Republican majority. Is. 266; Repubii-
can loss IN 1880 from the correspond
ing election in 1876. 1857. There
are towns aud plantations yet to be
heard from which would give US at q
low estimate over !, 900 Democratic ma
jority. The Republican manipuiators
in Maine are pretending to claim u
majority for Davis, aud are trying to
doctor ths returns to bar out this claim.
1t remains to be seen whether they pro.
pose to begin in Maine 10 teinaugcta.e
the fraud Of 1876. For two days Blaine
and the Republican leaders conceded
Plaisted's election, as the Republican
party did Tilden'3 in 1876. Tue entire
machinery tor counting the vote is in
the hands Of the Republican Returning
Board. Usually in past years it has
only required about two days TO ascer.
tain the definite results in Maine. This
year all the drst returns showed great
Democratic gains and il was only when
the Republican manipulutors hnve
stopped tie tstGfna from coming in and
delayed them uuiii ihsy could be altered
;Es. changes were made in favor Of
Da"is. the county OF Kenuebec,
which usually completes its return in
one day, was held back until after
Thursday. and il is openly asserted by
IL former Republican leader that the re-
turns are kept buck for manipulation.
Two of the five Congressman (MurSh
and LIdd) are conceded; Philbriek,
Democratic candidate in Blaiue's own
District (the ThiEd) while actually
elected. may be counted ont by fraud
by a very small majority (under 1907
In the First District Anderson, the
Democratic candidate is practically in
ia the same position, us the RepubIi
cans only claim q majority for Reed Of
93, thus showing that out Of fye Con.
sressmen four Democrats were elected.
This is the best criterion by which TO
judge tho popular sentiment OF the
State. -llais,ed is clearly elected. aud
an only be defeated by q fraudulent
count. The only gains shown by the
Republican party or claimed by them,
are in Democratic counties inaccessible
by telegraph, and away from the lines
of the railway. The best evidence OF
the fraud proposed to be perpetTated is
the fact that while the Fusion ticket
shows large gains all over the State il
Republican cities and counties, a Re.
publican gain is claimed in Democratic
counties.
