ANOTHER HORROR.
Terrible Mine One
Hundred and Twenty Lives
Lost.

LONDON, September s, NooN.-An eX-
ploSiou occurred this morning at the
Seaham coliery, near Durham. Both
shafts are blocked, though hall mile
apart. Between 80 aud 800 men are in
the pit. Ii is known that some are
alive,
2:}D =. Mt is now believed there
are $50 mrT in the Seaham coal pit. II
Is feared most Of them pcrished.
I.0NDoS. September S.-An explosion
i'm Sraham Coiliery occurred at 80
o'clock this morning. Stratton, view
rr, wIS soon on the spot when 1t was
found that all three shafts ot the mine
were blocked, the cages being fastened
i'm them. Stratton, with rope around
his body, descended to the main seam
and heard the men talking, he thought
about twenty. They are considered
safe There Is no reason, as vet, to believe
the pit is on fire, but it is feared the
bvlk Oi the men have been killed. SeV.
rntren men who wore in the pit at the
time OF the explosion are safe. The
owners Oi the Sraham mine iurniSh the
following: The worst fears are about the
l2) men. The men known To be alive
have not vet been reached owing to the
damage to the shafts by the explosion.
LONDON. September ga telegram
from Scaham col!iery, this evening,
announces that the men who were
wOrHius IN the upper seams OF coal have
been found, sale and well. Some OF
them volunteered and are now helping

" iathoms lower. The bottom OF the
Bath shafts are still blocked. \ later
telegram reports that up tn O'Clock a
total ~ iiity-seveu men had been res
cued, the majority IN an exhausted con-
dition.
Many thousands OF people are crowd
ing around the mouth OF the pit. The
guiding works in the pit were blown To
pieces, and the explorers consequently
iind their work very difficult. They
will keep ut it all night and hope to
clear a wIv bv morning. SO tar there
is uo sign of tire, but it is evident there
must b. large accumulation ot gas.
One hundred and fifty men are still IN
the pit.
L,xDDx, September S.-A dispatch

GARFIELD'S BRlBE.
The LAW UNDER WHICH he SHOULD
BE TRIED.
How the Republican Candidate for Presi-
dent Violated the Statute in Pro-
curing the DeGOIyer Pave
ment Contract.
A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE CRIME.

The proof is positive that the Repub-
lican candidate for President was guilty
of i plain violation OF the statute of
Congress passed to prevent jobbery by
public officials, when he procured or
aided to procure" the contract for the
DeGolyer pavement, for which he re-
cefved a bribe OF $1,000. No thief was
ever convicted on more positive testimo-
ny then that furnished in this case by
the official records OF the government,
and although Garfield will never be
prosecuted in the courts for his offence,
he is already adiudged guilty" before
the bar OF public opinion.

by the Samuels process, on such streets
as NAV be designated, the whole to be
completed within five months from date.
"An additional amount of $4,000

Where Garfield Came In.
It's thus seen that $4,000 yards OF this
contract was made dependent upon
money to be obtained from Congress ''on
account of expenditures from public
buildings and grounds" THERE'S where
Garfield came in, and Chittenden knew
what he was about, and so dld BOSS
Shepherd when he said, Garfield carries
the purse of the United States-the
chairman of the Committee on Appro-
prations."
The contract was awarded to De Col.
yer on the Dist OF June, and Garfield
got his check for s., 900 on the 18th OF
June, 1872, about three weeks after.
When considered in the light OF Chit
tendcn's letter Of the 3lst of May,
This Coincidence is Remarkable.
and it is made more SO by subsequent
events.
On the 9Th OF December following,
soon after Congress met, Gen. Garfield
reported the deficiency bill, with this
clause:
go enable the Secretary OF the In
terror (DelanO, Il ring mani, To pay the
expenditures made by the Board OF Pub

ing sidewalks, grading, sewerage and
other improvements upon and adJoln-
ing the property of the United States

Here is the Direct Proof
that the conditional part OF the contract
Tor 80 900 yards, dependant upon what
Boss Shepherd called reimbursement
on account of expenditures about pub
lie buildings and grounds" was carried
out by Garfield. He reported this mil
lion and 4 quarter without warrant oil
law or pIctence Of authority OF any
kind. And in addition to that he made
Babcock's certificate Of fraudulent
measurements the only voucher on
which the money could be drawn.
In a few weeks after this appropria-
ton was driven through with the party
lash, he

Who will say that Garfield did not
earn the five thousand dollar bribe?
Who will charge him with being un.
faithful to his ring employers? And
who will deny that he is amenab'e to
the penalties OF imprisonment and fine,
under the act OF JuIy l6, 1862?
