TBy telegraph 10 the Dispatch
WmKEsBARRE, Penn, May "A gas eX-
p%loSion occurred in Doriance shaft OF the
Valley Coal Company to-day. Ed
ward Rinker and Henry Baker were doing
some plumbing sixty feet below the sur
face. They were almost roasted alive.
The former is dead, and the latter cannot
recover. The shaft is GOO feet deep. The
timbers in it are IN fire, and every effort is
being made TO carry water below the
flames. When this is accomplished The fire
can soon be easily eXtinguishcd. The only
theory as to the cause Of the explosion is
that a spark from a pipe in the mouth OF a
carpenter fired the gas. The fire was put
out by $3.50 i. VI.
A terrific explosion of gas occurred in
the Stanton air-shaft OF the Lehigh and
Wllkesbarre Coal Company this evening.
Just as the shift OF nigbt-mincrs were get
ting ready TO enter the buckets to be low
cred into the pit, the h~ead-house, five
hundred feet from the bottom Of the shaft,
was blown to pieces and carried forty feet
into the air. The cause OF the explosion
is unknown. Two miners were injured.

Mr.. BradIaugh and the Affirmation
Eill-ue IL Heard I'm His Own BehaIf.


LONDON, May AIN the House Of Com
mons this afternoon the Speaker stated that
he had received q letter from MIR. Brad
laugh in which that gentleman announced
that he would at the beginning OF business
To-day ask to be permitted 10 take the oath.
the Speaker asked for the guidance Of the
House.
Loud cries were made for Mr.. Gladstone,
but as the Prime Minister did not rise, Sir
Stafford Northcote stated that he would
propose that Bradlaugh be precluded from
going through such n form.
Mr.. Gladstone said he could raise no OBJ
lection to the motion. which, under the
circumstances, Sir Stafford Northcote was
The proper person to make.
On motion OF Mr.. L%abOuchere, IL was de-
cidedt to hear Bradlaugh IN his W behalf
at the bar OF the House. Bradlaugh point
ed ont that the House had though. fit last
evening TO reject the affirmation bill, the
passage OF which would have enabled him
10 take his seat. II was now his duty TO
ke the oath. The law had given
him a seat in the House, and in
the name of the law he demanded
it. His exclusion was an act OF tlagrani
iniquity. No act OF his had justified the
action Of the House, which should declare
his seat vacant and pass the bill disqualify-
ing him. As long rs he was not disquali'
fed he would claim the right to his seat.
