at Risca, six miles from Newport. The
shock was very violent. 1t is supposed
that ll9 men were in the pit at the
time, and there is scarcely probable
ity that any will be saved. One body
has been found at the bottom of the
shaft. Ventilation has been restored in
the mine with view to exploring it
for bodies. A dispatch from Cardiff
says that 1913 men were in the pit of the
London and South Wales Colliery
Company's mine at the time of the ex-
plosion, and it is believed that all have
persisted.

ing intoxicated was locked up at night.

The New York Times says: Some of
the more sanguine members of the Dem
ocratic party have gone SO far as to ar
range that when Hancock is inaugu-
rated, Tilden shall ride to the Capitol
with him as the outgoing President
de .jure. This is not joke. 1t is
gravely proposed by Democratic papers
that have persistently declared that
Tilden is the real President of the
United States and that Hayes is but a
usurper.
The Worlds special from jamestown,
