Our Young Folks.
TIE LITTLE MOTRER.

" Oh. hush, my baby, hushabyi"
Croons Ethel, in the sunset glow.
Close to her dimplcd shoulder pressed,
She soOtheS her dolly into rest.
Soft rocking to and fro.
The restless little feet are still;
Grave now, and sweet, the laughing eyes;
All motherly in look and tone
She sits and rocks and sings alone,
While red the daylight dies.
. Oh, hushaby. my baby, hushl"
She draws sleepy little sigh:
On Dolly's cheek of faded red
Low drops the sunny, tired head
"Oh, hush, oh, hushaby!"
The song is ended in dream;
Across her face the sunbeams creep.
While Dolly's eyes wide open stare.
The little mother, unaware,
Has sung herself TO sleep!

Many of these are married men and leave
families, many living here. AT this hour
everything is in such confusion that it is
impossible to give details. A special train
left Gunnison at two o'clock this afternoon
with surgeons and large number of citi-
Gems to render all the aid possible. The
town of Crested Buttes is in mourning, and
crowds of women cluster about the entrance
to the mine praying and wringing their
hands and crying piteously, presenting q
scene most heartrending.
1t is said at the time of the explosion
there were ten kegs of black powder in
chambers one and two, where the men were
working, and where the explosion is sup
posed to have taken place. The mine has
three miles of drifting and so it is impossi-
BILE to definitely locate the accident until
rescuing parties can gain admittance.
At eleven o'clo' tonight no bodies had
been recovered.
DENVER, COL, Jan. "a.
Crested Buttes mine, where the great dis
aster of this morning occurred, has long
been considered dangerous by those &C.
producing mines in the country, its opera
tion has always been attended with more
or less apprehension and real danger.
sit is fire damp mine," said Superin-
tendent Cameron, now in Denver, AND and
seems to constantly generate the most
deadly gases. They seem to generate in
the coal or under it, and pour out of the
seams in the walls of the tunnels and
SnaItS; YET tne mines are the most perIect-
ly ventilated in the world. Air is forced
in along the shaft by machinery. No less
than $1,000 cubic feet of fresh air is forced
into the mine every minute. This is quite
sufficient to fully supply the wants of the
miners and keep the air perfectly pure I'M
less some accident happens to cut off or in
terfere with the supply. This is a greater
amount of fresh air than is furnished to
any other mine in the country. We send
a mine reviewer through every chamber
every morning before any of the men are
allowed to go in. He must have returned
this morning before the. workmen started
in, and everything must have been all right
when he passed through the workings"
John Mcneil, State Mine Inspector, left
for the scene of the disaster this evening.
He says he has no donbt that every man in
the mine at the time of the explosion was
instantly killed. He said he visited this
mine five weeks ago and then found it in
good condition. He considered it dam
gerous mine unless properly worked, be-
cause there was more or less gas constant
3y exuding from the mine. He said he
found every appliance for ventilating the
workings and considered that the manag-
ers understood how to run the mine, and
were fully aware of the danger attending
# the mine was not properly ventilated.

MUTT NOT GUILTY.
Verdict Rendered in the Celebrated Case
at Pittsburgh, Pa.-Remarkable Demon
stration on the Announcement of the
Finding.
PITTSBURGH, PA, Jan. %.

PITTSBURGH, PA, Jan. q.
The city was on the Qui viUe this morn
ing to know if there had been a verdict in
the Mutt case. Court met at $50 O'Clock.
Half an hour later it was announced that
the jury were ready with verdict. In the
room there were as many spectators as
ever, and outside as many as ever who
could not get in. At ten O'Clock sharp the
jury filed in. When they were seated
Judge Stowe sternly warned the audience
that, no matter what the verdict might be,
there should be no demonstrations of APP
proval or disapproval, and those disregard
ing this injunction would be arrested. The
prisoner, who was in the dock, was told to
stand up. He did so, rigid as a statue;
his lips thinner and more colorless and his
heavy eyes more heavy.
"Gentlemen, have you agreed upon a
verdict" asked Clerk Rowand.
I'VE have" answered the jurors.
"What say you, guilty or not guilty ?o
was the next Interrogation.
mot guilty. replied the foreman.
Such shout as went up from the. thou
sand voices in the courtroom never was
before heard in this county, at least. The
shout entered the ears of those in waiting
outside, and they proclaimed it as they ran
down stairs. yelling at the top of their
voices, acquitted! acquittedW The crowd
in waiting upon the street took up the re-
frain and yelled it out with might and main.
Shop men ran to their doors and joined in
shouting. Judge Stowe was to all appear
ances as happy as the happiest. A hearty
smile illuminated his face as he left the
bench and shook hands with a number of
those who had worked and prayed for the
deliverance of the boy. He never seemed
to think once about enforcing the penalty
for disobedience of his injunction about the
order.
Mutt was removed to prison to undergo
the formality of having his present sanity
established. He will probably be dis
charged tomorrow. Mrs. Mutt and her
daughter heard the news as they were
alighting from the carriage in front of the
office of their counsel. They were deeply
affected. The jury called on them in a
body, and some of the jurors mingled tears
with the widows.
Everybody indorses the result. When
released the prisoner will be taken to the
farm of an uncle in Fayette County, and
there kept until the excitement has passed
away.
The hearing as to the mental condition OF
Mutt will take place tomorrow. Sewers
experts will be examined, and his counse.
express themselves as confident that he will
be released. The hearing is necessary to
satisfy the Court that he is proper person
to be at large. The law on the subject is
very clear, and provides that when a per.
son is acquitted of any offense by reason of
insanity the jury should SO declare, and the
court shall have power to order him kept in
strict custody so long as such person shall
be of unsound mind.

CHICAGO, Jan. "A.


Four weeks ago Herman Koerstein, re-

ment in Bromberg, Prussia. An officer
bearing extradition papers from the Ger

The Legal Status of Telegraph Messages.

! CHICAGO, Jan. %.
During the trial of James II. Melville for
alleged embezzlement in the Criminal
Court before Judge Howes yesterday, the
prosecution desired to prove that part of
the money was sent to Melville through
the Western Union Telegraph Company.
The money order clerk of the telegraph
company declined to produce the original
message on the ground that a message
could not be made public property. The
court ruled that telegraph communications
could not be considered more confidential
than any others and that no communica-
tton could be excluded when the cause Of
Justice renders its production necessary.

HORRIBLE MINE ACCIDENT.

E1fty-Sevon Men Imprisoned in . Colorado
Mine by an Explosion Of Fire Damp
No Possibility OF Escape from Death
Fun List Of tho Victims.
GUNNIs0N. COL, Jan. "a
A fearful explosion occurred at eight
O'Clock this morning in the Colorado Coal
and Iron Company's mine at Crested
Buttes. It was one Of the most appalling
that ever occurred in a coal mine in this
country. Crested Buttes, near which the
mine is located, is coal mining town thir.
ty miles north Of Gunnison City, on the
Denver and Rio Grande Railroad. The
cause of the explosion is not definitely
known, but it is supposed to be from fire.
damp. The explosion occurred either in
chamber one or two, just half an hour az
ter the day force of sixty-seven men has
gone to work.
There were ten men at work in chamber
four. These escaped unhurt except one
man, John Angus, who was in the passage
way just outside the chamber. He is Lady
burned but will recover.
Fifty-seven men were at work in cham
bsrs one and two. These are thought to
have persisted. The explosion was of such
force as to completely barricade the main
entrance, and the appliances for supplying
air located near were badly wrecked, and
the roof of the tramway blown of. The
men at work on the anthracite mesa are the
night force of the c. C. & /. company's
mines. Citizens were generally working
hard all day to rescue the men, although
it is thought none can possibly escape alive.
The Town Hall has been prepared for the
reception of the dead.
AS soon as possible the fan was repaired,
put to work pumping air into the mine, and
men set to work to remove the Instructions
SO as to reach the chambers and get the
bodies out to- night if possible.
Following are the names of fifty-five of
the unfortunates; the other two are not OBJ

MINISTER GIBSON TAKES Roll IN THE DUsT.
Last Saturday, as Legislators and spectators
hooped out of Aliiolani Hale, after the vote of
want of confidence in the Ministry. there was
much comment upon the result. As the Minister
of Foreign Affairs passed Mr.. ]. L. Warehouse,
Sr., the latter said: Gibson, you are scoundrel,
sir receiving as reply " whitening Oh,
that is what you NEAR" and reinforcing his re
mark by again repeating "Yes sir, you are a
scoundrel sir" At this moment, Mr.. Henry
Waterhouse came up and passed nod with the
Minister. The latter then turned TO him and
said, so you have LOST II. Warehouse ="
don't consider l have, you voting for yourself
does not make you win" Gibson: " You've lost
your money and you've lost your cause; your
bribery did you no good II. Waterhouse: You
lie If you say used money-you take that bach"
Saying this he caught hold of the lapel OF Glib
sons coat, and the latter slipped down. A little
knot was then formed and there was much coll
fused talking, but the belligerents separated and
went their several ways. Mr.. H. Warehouse
struck no blow and Mr.. Gibson seems to have fall
en- voluntarily or else tipped over the feet of by
