Terrible Explosion In an English Coal
Mine.
LONDON. Dec. 1g. 1881

LONDON, Dec. 19, 1881.
An explosion occurred about noon
in the Orrell pit belonging to the
Abram Mining Company. The pit
was considered one of the safest in
Lancashire, as neither gunpowder
was used for blasting nor furnaces
for ventilation, the whole system OF
working the mine being purely
mechanical. The Arley pit, ada
cent, is also terribly affected by the
explosion. OF over sixty employees
in the Arley pit only twenty-seven
were brought to the surface alive.
1t is feared the remainder perished.
The supposition is that one hundred
and eighty persons have been kill
ed in the Orrell pit, as two hundred
descended into the pit this morning.
Ten injured persons so far have been
recovered. The work of exploring
the mine and rescuing ..le victims
continues.
1t is believed the explosion was
caused by a fall of a portion of the
the roof which liberated a quantity
of gas.
LATER.
It il now believed only forty per-
sons were killed. The Orrell mine
is one hundred and fifty yards
above the ArIey mine, and the eff
feet of the explosion in the former
imprisoned one hundred and fifty
miners in the lower mine. These
were subsequently rescued. Those
rescued from the upper seam were
seriously burned.
LATEST.
LONDON. Dec. 20.-There were
thirty-six injured by the explosion
in the coal mine at Bolton.

LONDON, December 20.-The fol-
lowing has been received from st.

ed to refer to the steamer jeanette.
The announcement was made at a

The Presbytery on Temperance.

The following resolutions were
passed by the Presbytery of West
Va, at its meeting at Fairmont,
Saturday, Nov. 9TH, 1881.
WHEREAS, The friends OF the
temperance cause in the State OF
West Virginia are now concentra-
ting their efforts to secure a prohlb-
tory liquor cluase in the Constltu-
ton Of the State; and,
WHEREAS, Petitions from the vo-
tiers Of the State to the Legislature
for an opportunity to vote on such
a clause are circulated, therefore,
be it
Resolued, LIST. That the Presbytery
most heartily endorses the efforts
of the friends of temperance in this
regard.
End. That it would ask all whom
it can influence to lend their aid in
securing this great object.
3rd. That it regards the manu-
facture and sale of intoxicating
drinks as beverage in high de-
gree criminal, because they bring
no benefit, but physical, intellectu-
al and moral ruin to our citizens.
4th. That the temperance advo-
Gates have great reason to rejoice
that in the election Of State officers
in this State last fall, who control
the liquor license, they have gain
&c 10 counties to the no-license sys-
tenn, making now a total Of Al
counties which do not grant license,
leaving only Is counties to fight US
in the Legislature next winter.

Monday was spent at Mt. Vernon,
Here, three years ago, Miss Maria
Stanton, President Of the Conn. W:
c. T. u, planted = New England
elm, on the right and very near
the tomb of Washington. This
tree, like our beloved cause, was
very weak and of slow growth, yet
by much watering and careful at
tention and nursing it has attained
vigor and strength.
A committee was appointed to
wait on the Postmaster-General, q
good temperance man, to ask that
the U. S. mails shall not be distrib-
uted in houses where liquor is sold.
Mrs. Prof Mills, Of Marietta, was

dent, for her successful manipula-
ton of the old "Spinnet," a very an

The next Convention will meet
citherat Louisville, KY, or LeaVens-

terhood to go vigorously to work

order to secure, soon and effectually,

West are taking advanced ground
and it behooves us to be up and
doing, unless we desire the unenvi-
able part Of rear guards to vic

We do not say that there was any
conspiracy to kill President Gar
field. But we do say that prior to
his shooting the attacks on him
on the public platform and in the
public press, for presuming to have
and exercise a will Of his own in the
appointment to office, were of the
bitterest and most infammable
kind. There is abroad the lowest
kind Of public spirit in the men
who undertake to shape the politics
of this people, the hardest possible
spirit of greed, the spirit Of absolute
unscrupulousness as to means and
ends, and a complete disregard for
truth, public morals or private
charity. 1t was this devilish spirit
and nothing else that charged the
pistol Of Guiteau. If, as we scarcely
hope, the death Of President Gar
field should open mems eyes to the
viciousness that has seized upon
the heart of our public life and
should rouse them to adopt means
for averting this great danger, he
will not have died in vain.-Catho-
Tic ReUleu.

Notes by Alpha.

The Third Quarterly Meeting for
West Milford church was held at
Morris Chapel, Nov, 9TH and 9th.
The services were interesting and
profitable throughout. One person
arose for prayers, and others seemed
to be very serious. The meeting
is being protracted by the pastor,
Rev. W. d. Barger.
In one district of this county,
(Harrison), typhoid fever has been
prevailing in a severe form. Seven
persons in one family were under
the care Of a physician at one time,
among them young lady. Two
of her brothers with one or two
other young men went to Jane
Lew for medicine. In this village
there is a licensed saloon, and these
young men were fond ofrum. After
getting the medicine, they laid in
a supply of strong drink, In a
short time they were drunk enough
to be mean, and as they passed a
house one Of them fired a pistol in
at the door, and then commenced
on the dogs.
Reaching the West Fork river,
they concluded to have "some fun"
and lifted a large gate off it's hinges
intending to put it in a deep place
in the river. In doing this one Of
them got the gate "around his
neck" and when his drunken COM
rades flung the gate into the water
he went along, and was soon drown
ing. Fortunately for him one of
the men was sober enough to take
in the situation and swan in and
brought the gate to shore and saved
the drunken ninny from a violent
death. But unfortunately for that
sick sister, the medicines were in
the river too, and getting wet and
mixed were rendered useless, and
she died One Of these young men
had to fly from the grave of that
sister to escape arrest.
A Mr.. Hall was fatally hurt a few
days ago, by a large log passing
over him, and crushing him in a
fearful manner. He was a sober
and industrious man and highly
esteemed.
1t is reported that man died
suddenly in the northeastern part
of Doddridge county. 1T is also re-
ported that he procured medicine
from a doctor and died soon after
taking it. This in connection with
the fact that the doctor is said to
badly confused in his hair on &C
count Of stimulants has caused no
little comment.
The man at Pennsboro who has
been selling liquor for years in def
ance of law, and who was indicted
seventy-fve times at the late term
of the Circuit Court, has been tried
in two cases and severely fined.
The official conscience of Ritchie
county seems to be awakening.
That conscience is to be congratu-
lated. Unlawful liquor-selllng has
been the standing shame Of the
county.
Smithton needs a better temper
ance atmosphere. Some who be-
long to church should not 90 into
saloons when they visit Clarksburg
nor should there be so many beer
kegs put off at the station. There
may be few premature funerals
in that latitude soon.

Passenger Birds.

According to u writer in Nature,
the small migratory birds that are
unable to perform the Il ght OF 35U
miles across the Mtdlterranea u
Sea are carried across on the
backs Of cranes. III the aulumn
many fiocks OF cranes may be seen
coming from the north, with the
hr-t cold blast from that quarter,
flying low, and uttering q peculiar
cry, as If Of alarm, AZ they circle
over the cultivated plains. Little
birds of every species may be see,
flying up to them, while the twit-
,ering songs OF those already com.
fortaOIy settled upon their backs
may be distinctly heard. But fol
this kind provision of nature, nu'
merous varieties of small bird,
would become extinct in northern
countries, US The cold winters
would kill them.

down. Then he took half pint OF
hot rum, at the suggestion OF an
old sea captain visiting In the next
house, and stes med his legs with
an alcohol bath At this crisis two
of his ueighbors arrived, who saw
that his blood was out Of order
and gave him half gallon Of

The Atlantic aud Pacific.

Mr.. ]. e, Hollenbeek, who is
now at the East, has intervie we'd
Col. Stone, President Of the Allan.
tic and Pacific Railway Company,
and writes as follows to Mr.. w. II
Workman, Of this city:
I called on Col. Stone, President
Of the Atlantic and Pacific Rail
road. He received me with great
deal Of cordiaIity, but was satisfied
be for the best interests of the COM
papy to change the route Of their
main line to take in Los Angelo
valley, as it would make 1t very
much longer; but he has no hesita.
ton In saying that their company
was impressed with the i'm portance
OF a direct connection with Los
Angeles, and Just rs soon as the
main line was located permanent
ly, he said, that the question Of
feeders would be looked into; that
he proposed to visit our coast dur.
ing the next two months, and
would come to Los Angeles to con-
suit and look over the ground. Mr.
Nickerson, President of the CALI
fernia Southern and other roads
on our coast, left Boston last
week for that section, and Presi.
dentStone thought it would be well
for some of the representative citi.
zens to see him and have him look
the ground over. l do not think
there ia any hope of getting them
to change the route of their main
line, but do think there are good
grounds to- expect that they will
have road to connect with their
main line from our section. If Los
Angeles were made the terminal
point, it is questionable In my
mind If the result would not be as
great benefit to our city IS sta
ton on the trunk line would be.
