PERILs OF THE MINES.
Two Terrific Gas Explosions Attended
with Loss of Life.


WILKEsBARRE, PA, May A gas ex-
plOsion occurred in the DOrrance shaft of
the Lehigh Valley Coal Company to-day.
Edward Rinker and Henry Baker were
doing some plumbing 90 feet below the
surface. They've almost roasted alive
The former is dead and the latter cannot
recover. The shaft is 600 feet deep. The
The only theory as to the cause of the eX-
plOsiOn is that spark from pipe in the
mouth of carpenter fired the gas. The
fire was put out by $3.50 o'clock.
\ terrific explosion of gas occurred in
the Stanton air-shaft of the Lehigh and
Wilkesbarre Coal Company this evening.
just as the shift of the night miners were
getting ready to enter the buckets to be
lowered into the pit head house, 800 feet

BRADLAUGH AT THE BAR.
He Demands His Seat Despite the Re
lection of Animation.

He Demands His Seat Despite the Re
lection of Affirmation.
LONDON, May 4.-The Daily Ne,cs saws
that by the rejection of the affirmation bill
the forces OF bigOtry and intolerance have
triumphed. Fifty Irish members voted
against affirmation. Its to be regretted,
the Times says, that the prudent and con-
elusive solution offered in the affirmation
bill was not supported by a majority of
the house. In the House of Commons this
afternoon, the Speaker stated that he had
received a letter from Mr.. Bradlaugh
in which that gentleman announced
that he would at the beginning
of business to-day ask to be permitted to
take the oath. The Speaker asked for the
guidance of the House.
Loud cries were made for Premier
Gladstone, but as the Prime Minister did
not rise, Sir Stafford NOrthcote stated that
he would propose that Mr.. Bradlaugh be
precluded from going through such
form.
Mr.. Gladstone then said that he could
raise no objection to the motion, which,
under the circumstances, Sir NOrthcote
was the proper person to make. On
motion of Mr.. LabOuchere, il was decided
to hear Mr.. Bladlaugh in his own
behalf at the bar of the House.
Mf. Bfadlaugh pointed out that the
House had thought fit last evening to re-
iect the affirmation bill, the passage of
which would have enabled him to take his
seat. 1t was now his duty to take 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 fragrant iniquity. No act of his had
justified the action of the House, which
should declare his seat vacant or pass
bill disqualifying him. AS long as he was
not disqualified he would claim the right
to his seat.
Mr.. Labouchere opposed the motion of
Sir Stafford NOrthcOte.
Premier Gladstone on moving the
previous question announced that he
would vote with Mr.. Labouchere against
the motion. The motion was then carried
by vote of 271 to 165.
Mr.. Bradlaugh again addressed the
House, arguing in favor of his claim to
his seat. After speaking for half an hour
he returned to his usual seat below the
bar and the subject was dropped.

TRANSPORTING THE MELONS.
Southern Fruit Growers Hold Lively
Debate at VaIdosta

Debate at VaIdOsta.
NALDOsTA, GA, May 3.-The South
Georgia Fruit and Vegetable Growers
Association met here pursuant to a call in
Stuart's Opera Hall to-day. President
w. r. Tally took the Chair and called the
meeting to order. On motion of Mr..
Perham, of Brooks, {. II. PendletOn was
chosen Secretary pro TEN. The committee
appointed ut the last meeting to interview
the railroad and steamship officials as to
transportation, ETC., reported through Mr..
Mckee, orally, that he had seen Mr..
Haines, of the Savannah, Florida aud
Western Railway, and that he promised
to do all he could to move the crop; that
the Side-tracks at the different stations
would be made longer; but one-third of
the melons would have to 20 East and
twO-thIrds West.
The committee reported further that The
Louisville and Nashville system, Western
and Atlantic, Cincinnati Southern. Lou
isville, New Albany and Chicago. East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia roads
were all represented in the convention
The representatives of these roads all
promised rapid, safe and cheap transit to
any part of the globe.
Mr.. Forester, of Albany, then offered
the following, which was adopted:
ReSOiCed, That this body greatly appre-
c4dJe5 tue euOftS OF Jne railroads repre-
sented by their agents in this
meeting to move our melons and vege-
tables; and it is the sense of this
meeting that 50 far as it is practicable
that these roads should be given the
preference in hauling our goods to mar
ket.
The convention then, on motion of J. A.
Dasher, adjourned to meet in ThOmasville
on the first Thursday in September next.
1t was estimated some time ago that it
would require 1880 cars to move the
melon crop, and Notwithstanding the
heavy rains and cold weather, which has
reduced the crop considerably, the truck
men still stuck by their old figures clam
oring for cars. The acreage is cOnsidera-
bly, increased, but owing to the unfayOra-
BILE spring there may not be more than
twO-thirds of a crop this year for trans
pOrtati0n, and one more heavy rain in
this community may ruin the entire melon
crop.
think there is no necessity for all
this excitement about cars among
the melon growers. If they can make
the melons Mr.. Haines will move them if
there are cars in the country to do it. He
always has and l think he always will.
