A IN THE NINE.

Another fearful coal mining horror Is
reported from Great Britain, and l2S
miners are thought to have lost their
lives by an explosion Of fredamp. The
catastrophe occurred day before yester.
day in the London and South Wales Col.
liery Co.'S pit near Newport, Wales. AT
last accounts the most strenuous efforts
were being made to ventila,e the mine
and allow OF explorations to recover the
bodies. None were expected to DO found
alive. BY a similar catastrophe in the
same mine. twenty years ago. li5
miners lost their lives. The risks to life
in coal mining are far more than in the
mines OF this section. Accidents fatal
to human life are frequent enough here
on the Comstock, but no such whole
sale destruction is ever met with. Long
experience has taught soalmiue owners
how best to guard against such eIplo-
sions and all sorts OF precautions
are taken. yet some q is sure to be
careless or ~unguardsd at some unfortu.
nate moment. and the result is sudden
disaster and death to all. And the very
miner whose ~unguarded light caused the
deadly catastrophe is are to be one Of
the victims.

Jennie Bonnet's Murderer.
San Fraaeiseo Poet. JAY Is.

San Francisco Poet, JAY IL.
The police department has not moved
in the matter OF obtaining . rsquisition
for Louis Duffrauaut, the alleged muir.
derer OF Jennie Bonnet. the little French
frog catcher, murdered at San Miguel
In 1876, who was recently arrested at
Alymsr. Canada, for assaulting to muir.
der q neighbor named Charbonneau.
Although the detectives have been ut
work OF intervals to secure evidence
against Dufranaut, not o particle has
yet been found. II Ia reported that Duf.
f~ranaut's wife has admitted his guilt to
the neighbor, Charbonneau, but that
confession will be useless coming from
~Charbonneau, a. Il will DO but hearsay.
Should Mrs. Duffranaut herself testify
she can only relate what Duffranaut told
her. At the time OF the murder Duffrs.
naut lived o mile and 0 halt from San
Miguel, and II is not likely that he
took his wife with him when he com.
mitted the crime. The theory evolved
by Captain Lees 10 that Duffra.
maui murdered Jennie from spite and
not for pay. Blanche. the woman with
Jennie, had been boarded at Duffra.
naut's house by an admirer OF hers, u
merchant in good standing in this city,
and Duffranaut received $50 per month
as remuneration. Jennie enticed Blanche
away, and Duffranaut, angsred at the
loss Of his boarder, resolved to take
Jennie's life. As the matter stands now
the evidence against Duffranaut. even
supposing that his wife told all she
knew. would not be sufficient to convict
him. and therefore Captain Ices does
not feel warranted in bringing the pair
back ct o cost OF over $4,000.

Empress and Mother.

The Empress Eugene proceeded on
fost into the South African valley whore
her sons body wal found, following
precisely the track taken by the officers
who went In search OF the corpse. The
road was stony and rough. but she per-
sisted In walking. In tho distance
cleaned the white monument, thrown
into sharp relief BY the dark background.
but 1t only seemed to catch the eye Of
the Empress when she got TO the bank
OF the donga. Then she lifted her
hands as In supplication toward heaven,
the tears poured over her cheeks, worn
with sorrow and vigils, she spoke no
word and uttered no cry. but sank
slowly on her knees. A French priest
repeated the prayers for the dead. and
the servant, Tomas, who had been an
eyewitness, went through the sad story
OF what had happened last year. The
tents were pitched in the valley, and the
Empress stayed there for two days. On
the following day she went to Fort
Napoleon. and thence to Rorke's Drift.
and on the fifth day visited the field Of
Isandula, and prayed there with the
Epglishwomen, who had come there 10
mourn their husbands and brothers.

leap high out OF the water. They are

that the State Fish Commissioner is

rur n DOSE.

Many Democratic editors seem TO be
under the impression that Republicans
mention the hanging Of Mrs. Surratt as
q point against Hancock. Quite the
contrary it has always been con.
sidsred by Republicans and Union
mon one OF the best aud most
important episodes in Hsncock's
war career. and has never been urged
against him except by the Democracy
and the Solid South. Republicans have
simply wondered how this Surratt sauce
to Union crow could be swallowed by
Hancock's new followers. They seem
to do II without choking in the least or
making q grimace. There can DO no
question that Mrs. Surratt's house was
the headquarters Of the conspirators who
planned the abduction Of the President
Of the United States. and whose machin.
atoms resulted in his assassination. She
helped with her own hands to load the
wagon which was to convey refreshments
to the appointed spot where the con.
s~pirators were to meet, and was priVy TO
the conveyance Of firearms in case Of
emergency for the use OF those who were
plotting to take the life or liberty Of
Abraham Lincoln. Hers was Q case Of
high treason. II ever there wal one. and
she certainly met with q fearful yet just
rstribution. Hancock obsyed orders and
partook Of the responsibility in the
matter. It was always held against him
by the Democracy and the South unit
now that he has suddenly been made
their candidate for the Presidency. Ever
the strong. minded women and advocates
OF woman suffrage have always beer
loud in tho condemnation OF al
who had anything to do with th'
hanging Of Mrs. Surratt, and their turn
ing against the Republican party and IN
favor Of the Democracy was strongly
influenced by that tragic episode. ye
strange Al it may sppsar Hancock
rises into their favor at once when h'
il nominated for President. All well
all the crow there Is in thu
dose will have to be swallowed BY Dem
o~cratie throsts not Republicans. Il
they can stand 1t. We can.
