Miners Imprisoned in Shaft-TerribIe
 Scenes at the Pit.
 RICHMOND, Feb. 3.-A telegram was re- ceived in this city to night from Coalfeld, Chesterfield county stating that thirty-two miners operating in Grove shaft the Mid lothian coal property were caught under ground about 1 o'clock to-day by an explo- sion of gas. The locality is thirteen miles from Richmond. The Midlothian mine is operated by ". R. Burrows. It is stated that premonition was given of this week since, when man was nearly roasted to death by an outburst of gas at Grove shaft. Later intelligence may indicate the exact fa- tality.
 LATER.-Up to 11:3O o'clock tonight the only additional intelligence about the mine disaster was to the effect that thirty-two un- fortunates were caught therein and most of them will lose their lives. The mine was on fire and burning fercely, and those in the mine would, if not already suffocated by gas, be drowned by water, with which it was the intention to flood it. The vertical opening was 600 feet in depth with lateral branches. A majority of the men were white. A list received here shows many names familiar in Chesterfield county, as well as those of some English and Welch miners. The scenes around the mouth of the shaft this evening were heartrending. The wailing of these who feared the worst and the convulsive sobs of wives and mothers having dear ones entombed in the bowels of the earth con- spired to constitute tout ensemble of grief enough to unnerye the stoutest heart. Only few years ago another shaft of Midlothian mine exploded, landing seventy unhappy beings into eternity It was not far from the scene of the present disaster.

Section makes the commission a court to decide all questions touching the ownership, title, buoys, boun- daries, extent and location of any shell fish ing grounds. the decision of the commission to be final unless an appeal is taken to the Superior Court within ten days. Section 3 provides that the defeated party in case un- der section shall forfeit $1o. Section 1 of the second bill provide that the commissioners shall be given a Il de- scription of every vessel in the oyster busi- ness, that they shall license such vessels and that each vessel shall display a number to be given by the commissioners, Section pro- vides that when section l is violated the yes- sel and her fixtures may be seized and held as a security for fine Of from $100 to $500 unless bond is given from any fine im- posed an appeal may be taken to the Superi- or Court Section 3 provides for license fee of $l to be paid to the State.
 Beside reporting in favor of modifying ex- isting laws the commissioners recommend the following:

with cheers on their appearance. The soph omores, Ingalls, and Deforest, were dis. charged from custody, and Balesteir and Blood were given safe quarters at a hotel. About half-past 1 o'clock Chief of Police Kennedy received a telephone message from the Inlet to the effect that the other missing freshmen, Fullmer and Prescott, had been found and their captors put un- der arrest, and that the whole party would arrive by hsck at the hotel in few minutes, but they have not yet made their appear ance. Shortly after the above telephone message was received member of the fresh man class <4shed up to the police station shouting as he came, ''They have got away with another of our men," He and an of ficer went to the stable to get fast team to go in pursuit of the captors and the missing freshman. The poor unprotected freshmen are running around like mad, and an alarm of fire just sounded adds to the general ex- citement. It is not thought now that the civil authorities will take any action towards inficting legal punishment on the sopho- mores who are carrying on wholesale kidnap- ping here, but it is believed the university authorities cannot well overlook the matter. The members of the lower classes will un- doubtedly be visited by severe action by the governing board of the institution. The matter has passed beyond the limit of mere joking, and if not promptly checked may lead to serious results

 LONDON, Feb. 3.-A great indignation meeting was held at Manchester today to remonstrate against the Jewish oppression. The J0eqnoI of St. Petersburg the leading journal of that city, in commenting upon the London indignation meeting in behalf of the Jews, makes some stinging retorts. It re- marks that England would be surprised if meetings were held in the continental cities to denounce English legislation in Ireland and to call for the indignation of the world to reprobate the tyranny which has filled the jaiIs of that country with men who are guilty of no crime other than that of expressing their dislike to the policy of the English government. The Journal goes on to say that it believes the whole pro-Jewish agita- tion in England is in favor of the anti Russian feeling and it expresses its regret that in a State so friendly to Russia as England has been these attempts to influence the public mind against her should be encouraged
