A NEw CAsE--The Doylestown

the cases tried last week al Court was
one seldom brought in this country
a prosecution against the Democratic
election officers of Bensalem township,
who were indicted for "rciusing TO re.
ocivc the vote Of qualified eIector."
The person who offered his vote was a
colored man, who was registered IN the
township by the name OF Frank Davis
and his vote was refused on the ground
that that was not his true name, which
was Frank Mckinney, The defence
proved that he had registered in Mary.

salem addressed to Frank Mckinney.
The prosecutor sworo that his namo
was Davis. The jury, after being out
about ten hours, brought in verdict
of "Not guilty" and placed one quater
Of the costs on the defendants, and
.fourths on the county. After the
jury had separated, it was discovered
that the finding, as regards the costs,
was illegal, but it was too late to remedy
the matter. 1t relieves the defendants
from all liability for costs, and as the
Commissioners have been notified not
to pay any, it possible the prosecutor
may have to foot the whole bill, in
which case it will prove a dear vote to
him,

TIE sNYpER LYNcRERS


Judge Myers of Lehigh county, il
bis recent charge to the Grand Jury
dwelt at considerable length upon the
recent lynching OF Snyder for the
murder of Henry Google and wife, the
particulars Of which are fresh in the
minds Of all our readers, aud which SC
startled that community and the peo
pie of this State at the time He very
clearly pointed out the duty OF the
Grand Jury in tho case. In his re
marks he said in substance;
1t was the first instance where the
citizens Of this State took IL into Their
own hands to punish murder The
people engaged IN the lynching OF Sny'
der committed clear, direct and pal
pablo violation Of the laws Of this

no word in the Constitution Of this
State, no word in any decree emana'
ting from any Court of Justice, that

OF the Grand Jury know from their
own knowledge any person connected

have learned it from any person TAX.
ing part in the lynching, they have q
right to impart the information TO the
other members OF the Grand Jury and
have the matter brought to the atten-
ton OF the Court The Court said that
Snyder had offended against tho law
of Pennsylvania, and if he had been
tried, acquitted or convicted 1t would
be under the laws of Pennsylvania,
and If his execution had followed il
would have been in answer to the man
date from the Governor Of Ponnsylva.

Of its powers; it was u grevious wrong.

crime, If he had been tried, convicted
and punished, with the Commonwealth
as his accuser all the people OF this
State would be the avengers Of the
blood Of the murdered people, Sny.
der's death was murder, and whatever
may be the excuses of those taking
part, although there may have been
evils that they thought justified their
actions, they should have remembered
that the method of avenging the evil
was one thousand fold worse than the
evil itself. The Court stated that the
act of these men should not be allowed
to pass unchalonged, thus giving u
license to everyone, everywhere, un-
der like cases TO resort to them, and
be felt it his duty to call the attention
of the jury to the matter and closed
by saying that if the jury does not
take any action in the matter, the
Court will have to institute proceed

ONE LAW ANYHow.-OurState Leg
islature has been in session nearly
seven weeks and it may be of interest
to the people OF the State to know thai
it has already enacted one law. But
it might be OF equal importance tC
them to know that our august solons
were forced to this activity by the pres
ure Of the honest portion of the citizens
Of Philadelphia, who demanded that
the odious delinquent tax law of that
city should be repealed, and the duties
thereof transferred to the office of the
Receiver of Taxes. This was the office
through which the Republicans OF that
city got their corruption fund. 1t is
said to have realized to those who di.
vided the "swag," about sl25,OOO a
year, every cent of which was flched
from the poorer classes of that city
the tenants Of real estate owners.

tion in Philadelphia is conclusive proof
that the Radical lines have been broken.

not keep a people chained to US to be

them. In an independent Ireland the
ablest and strongest would come to
the front and the baser elements be
crushed. a This, too, is called
impossible-yet, if we will neither rule
Ireland nor allow the Irish to rule

How STARTLING; But TRUE l-Or
Friday previous to the late municipal
election in Philadelphia, a meeting o.
Reformers was held in the Spring Gar

Among the resolutions adopted at the
meeting was one invoking the death
penalty against all election officers
ballot-box suffers, and reporters who
violated the laws in this particular
More We notice that the Rev. Charles
G. Ames preached a sermon on "Poli
tics and Morals" the Sunday previous
to the election, stating that for fal
less crime than those indicated, ON
hundred thousand men had been shot in
the last twenty years. The wrongs
perpetrated at the ballot.bo is q crime
against society-not an individual
and should be punished as such in the

600 Democrats have ten members of

numbers OF Democratic have been
massed together, increasing Democratic
majorities in Congressional districts

resentation. In Massachusetts, the

leave the Democrats without any rep

4 COAL MINE EXPLOSTON.



YOUNGSTOWN, o, Feb. 1.-THE Goa
mine known "a Maurnes, on the line o.
the Niles and New Lisbon Railroad
was the scene Of o terrible explosion
yesterday morning. 1t resulted in the
instant death of four men and the seri
Gus wounding of FIVE others who may
die, This mine is altogether on high
ground, and has been in operation Ion
several years 1t was supposed 10 be
fully ventilated. There are twenty.
five miners employed at The nine, and
this morning fifteen Of them had gone
in, when suddenly terrific explosion
occurred Tho place was filled with
smoke, and the people who heard the
noise Of the explosion and ran to the
mouth of the mine to discover the
cause were Mortified at what they saw.
Men, mules and cars had been blown
IN promiscuous heap two hundred
feet and landed several feet from tho
entrance to the mine, Four OF the
mon are not to be found at ALL but sub.
sequent developments showed that
they had been killed instantly. Only
one Of the dead bodies could bo got at
on account Of the gas IN the mine, the
Others then being so far in that il was
unsafe to 60 after them until the mine
had been ventilated
Five Of the men were blown clear
out of the mine, and we're horribly
burned and mutilated, so much so that
their lives arc despairod of.
The following is a list Of the victims
known at this writing:
James Logan, so years Of age, a
native of England married John
Logan, son OF the above, lG years of
age; James Mehan, young man, un.
married Edward Smith, about 20
years old and unmarried VIM. Haley,
George Henry Wood
Those WHO were wounded aud whose
death is hourly expected are
Edward Creighan, John Eakins,
Robert haley; james Crouch had
both arms broken but will survive !;
John LEX, a driver, was badly cut
about tht head, but not fatally hurt (;
David G'ifliths was internally injured,
butts not considered seriously so; Peter
Wilson, John Wilson, James Wilson.
Nearly al the above are badly hurt
and several will die.
As so)n as the news Of the dreadful
accident became noised abroad, the
people began to gather from all parts
OF the country. The scenes, when the
membe,s OF the families of the victims
becameacqualnted with their loss, were
heartrmding. Some Of the families
thus be,eaved are left almost destitute.
Mrs. Griffith had gone TO the door of
tho mIns TO call her son when the ex-
plosion occurred. She saw the mule
shoot ont OF the mine and found her
son inbred George Henry Wood
died in bis wife's arms. The scenes
are hearrendng in the extreme.
The explosion was caused by the
foolhardiuess OF Ed. Smith. When he
was going into the mine the Superin-
tendent cautioned him about going to
a certain room, as it contained fire
damp. Bat as that was dry, while
around the track was filed with water,
Smith disobeyed orders and attempted
to pass through the forbidden room
with lighted lamp in his hand. I'm.
mediately terrific explosion occurred,
in which a hole was blown through Is
feet Of earth composing the root, and
carrying death and destruction all
around.

of course Mr.. Cannon will during lite

The wonderful part of this business,
however, is that 1t would require q

FAITHFULLY EXPRESSED The Phil
adelphia Times don't seem to be in
love with the memory of the "great
war Governor" Morton, on whose ac
count Governor Porter, of Indiana, had
the bad taste TO berate the Democracy
in his inaugural. Says the Times;
Morton was, without exception, the most dospi
cable charlatan that ever afflicted the politics Of
any land. Ignorant, prcsumptuous, revengeful
he made the high places into which the Lase
patty passions Of war thrust him, opportunities
for the Qualification Of every instinct that dtgrades
public and dishoners private life. His balefu
mark upon the politics Of the State and nation
cannot be obliterated in a generation. To wan.
tonly revive and perpetuAte his foul memory
would be the gratuitous Apothesis repulsive in
private and public life. Let DEATH II It can, mti.
gate, II cannot wholly obliterate the unspsakabls
evils Of a wholly bad man.
Morton, stnmping Ohio in 1875, had
the impertinencc to insult Gov. Allen
and got rejoinder that pad.locked BID
lips for the rest OF the campaign. HIS
private life was something worse thar
infamous,
