DEATH IN A COAL MINE.
TWENTY-FIVE MINERS DROWNED
lu the Drift of an. Australian Hlns-AGsetlng'
Scenes at the Mouth ofthe shAft-Aurdsr and
Robbery In the West-An Insane Mother
Murders Her Three. Children.

SAN FRANCISCO, January 2S.-From the
Sydney Herald the following details Of a
disaster at an Australian mine, December
12, are given. The accident occurred at
$50 A. NJ, in drift from No. ., the shaft
which unexpectedly broke into the old
workings Of No. shaft. The water rushed
through with with great force and
in a few minutes the lower levels
were flooded, and the flood rose thirty
feet in the shaft. The men employed at
this point fled for their lives along the drift
TO the station, when twelve reached the
cage and were hoisted to the surface.
Twenty.nine men in the other part OF the
new workings were unable to reach the
shaft, and the only hope was that they
might be able TO reach and ascend dis
tant winze leading to the upper level.
A prTiPuL SCENE.
The scene at the top OF the shaft was pit
iful. Mothers, wives, children gathered
there, waiting almost without hope for
news from below. The pumps were at
once started, throwing fourty.iour thous-
and gallons per hour, and all the farmers
in the district assembled to lend assist
ance. The body Of water was so
great that the pumps lowered it
very slowly, and driver was sent
for to attempt 10 penetrate the mine 10
learn the fate OF those below. The project
was found to be impracticable. On the
afternoon Of the 18th the water only be-
came high in the drift where the men were
supposed 10 be, when one attempt was
made TO reach them, but The vitiated air
drove back the relief party. About I
o'clock on the morning Of the 14th two
searchers came up the shaft and reported
that they heard the words. SIT is all right;
we are all right, About six o'clock word
came up the shaft, That the lost were found.
The news spread like wild fire, when the
neighborhood ran to the shalt, providing
carriages on which 10 raise the men to the
surface and half au hour later John Manly
was brought up alive.
TICELIsH RESCUE.
He had been caught by going to warn
his comrades OF danger when he might
have escaped. Soon four others were
brought up, all greatly exhausted, but in
fair way to recovery. The cage rose again
when the terrible truth was learned that
the twenty-five remaining in the
mine had perished. The whole party
had been caught in the drift, the water
rising so high that only by clinging to the
timbers could they keep their chins above
water. One by one during the sixty hours
struggle they dropped of, exhausted and
drowned in the flood, the strongest only
holding out until relief came. The bodies
were found lying scattered about the floor
of the drift.

IN THE MESHES AGAIN.


Yesterday afternoon word was brought
to police station that a gang of boys
were acting In disorderly manner at
the corner Of Seventh and Bennett
streets, and officer Andrew Moore was
sent to the place, with orders to arrest
them. He succeeded in capturing Wes-
Icy Mari, who, on the way to the
hall tried to throw away loaded re-
volver. which the officer secured. At
the hearing last evening young man
from MOore's clothing establishment
testified that, on the 18th Of January,
Mari came to the store and selected "A
suit of clothes valued at $l2, which he
requested should be laid aside until his
father came around and examined
them. He went way, but returned in
about fifteen minutes, saying that his
father WAS busy and unable to come,
but had sent him for the clothes, and IL
they suited he would send the money
Immediately. The young man gave
him the clothes, and not hearing any
thing from his father, asked him about
two weeks after how they suited, and
was astonished to ascertain that he had
not sent the boy ard did not know any,
thing about the transaction. He has
been on the lookout for Wesley ever
since, but had not been able to find him
until his arrest yesterday. The Mayor
said it was geriOus matter, AZ there
were two charges against him, that of
carrying concealed deadly weapons,
and obtaining goods under false pre-
tence, and he would hold him in $500
bail for his appearance at Court.

kellOgg'0 Case.

Ex-senator Kellogg said to reporter
of the Associated Press last night that
in a few days he expected TO be able to
make a statement which would be a
complete denial Of the allegations con-
cerning him set forth in the Price aft
darit. He would show from the rec
ords in the Post Office Department that
he had never endorsed an application
for expedition of service ON any mail
route except for one steamboat route on
Red river, in 1876 or 1877. He would
also show what was the arrangement
made by the prosecution with Price,
who, he said, had been promised i'm
mnnity for his services in the matter.
Mr.. Kellogg said furthermore that
the present proceeding against him was
not begun with the consent of the At
iorney General. Messrs. Merrick and
ker had, he said, taken advantage of
the absence of Mr. Brewster from the
city to 60 before the Grand Jury, and
counsel for the prosecution had admit
ted that this step was rendered neceS-
sary by the testimony of Gen. Brady.
He added that if an Indictment were
found against him he should ask to
have the case tried Immediately after
the conclusion of the pending eases

Joseph Kashmsky, a private in Com
pany II, 10th United States Infantry,
on duty at Garfield's grave in Lake
View Cemetery, has become insane
and has been taken to Detroit for cure
The peculiar form of insanity is melan-
cloia, and II peculiar state Of affairs
came to light when the case was looked
up. The men on guard dread their
duty, and several eases are reported of
men committing offenses for the pur-
pose of getting punished.
Anything Or any device is used to
get away from the ghostly array Of
mounds and tombs. This is said to
have driven Kashmsky insane, and
his incoherent language and actions
carry out the impression. One man, IL
veteran, said: 81 dread the duty, al
though am not afraid of il and do not
complain; but on the younger The strain
is intense. Many tricks are resorted to
