Tsrrihls Csal-lline Disaster.
RICHMOND, Va, February 4

RICHMOND, Va, February4 4.
Particulars Of the terrible coal-mine disaster
Caused by . gas explosiOn) at the Grove
Shaft, at Coalfeld, in Chesterfield County,
yesterday, were received here to-day, and in-
dictate that the disaster was even more horn
BILE than at first reported. Coalfeld is little
hamlet in the midst Of the great coal-beds Of
Chesterfield County, and the mine in which
the disaster took place is about two miles dis
tant.
The scenes and incidents about the mouth
Of the pit this morning were heart-rending.
Nearly every family in the place has lost a
relative by the disaster, and, despite the ter.
rible snow storm of last night, crowd Of
men, women aud children were crouched
about the mouth Of the fatal shaft, shivering
from cold and calling piteously for their loved
ones, and begging that aid should be sent
them. All the morning crowds OF miners
from the surrounding country have been
pouring into the place, and all seemed intent
upon penetrating the awful pit and learning
definitely the fate of those who are entombed
Experienced miners say that the thirty-two
men in the pit are undoubtedly dead, but the
wives and children do not give up hope, and
there are not to be found those who can break
the terrible truth to them yet.
This morning At eleven o'clock the first
attempt to reach the bottom of the shaft was
made. A large number Of miners volun-
teered to go down in the bucket. Most Of
them were young and hardy men, and were
prepared to take their lives in their hands.
The older miners told them that the terrible
carbonic gas still fingered in the pit, and
they realized the dangers Of the undertaking,
especially a. no connection had yet been made
with the bottom of the shaft. Three stepped
from the crowd and insisted upon going down
in the bucket. Mr. Dodds, the Superintendent
of the pit, was one of them. They were let
down carefully, and, after going down 100
feet, gave the signal to be pulled up The
result Of their investigation showed that at
least forty feet Of the brattice-work in the
mine was torn up. They discovered no gas.
Like many similar horrors, this one has
served to bring forward another striking evil
dence of the devotion of woman. A young
woman, Just nineteen years of age, living In
Manchester, was betrothed to one Of the vic
Tins Of this disaster. This morning, when the
intelligence reached Manchester of the explo-
sion, she at once started to walk to the scene,
. distance Of thirteen miles from Manchester,
the ground being covered with six inches OF
snow and the wind blowing binding drifts.

The Atchis0n correspondent Of the
st. Louis Globe Democrat writes a. follows:
'.As IN answer to the argument that . pro-
hibitory law decreases arrests for all causes,
the following official figures are given: The
police arrests in this city for 1879 numbered
1,029; in 1880, 1.103; and for 1881, with the
law in effect seven months, 1880. In 1880,
for the months of October, November and
December, the arrests for drunkenness
amounted to Ill cases, but for the corre-
spending months Of 1881, with prohibition in
force, the arrests for drunkenness had In.
creased to 100. The same rate Of increase
holds good in Topeka, as the report for the
city trials for all causes in 1880 amounted to
752, and S52 in 1881, with the prohibitory
law in effect seven months of the latter year.
During the first half of 1881, before prohibi-
tion, the arrests for drunkenness amounted
to only 1877, but for the last half Of the year,
with the law q pronounced success. the ar
rests climbed to 2O3. In Lawrence the Of
