CoLuNmus, O., October 27.-The
Supreme Court, three judges affirming
and two dissenting, to-day declared the
Scott liquor tax law unconstitutional.
The decision on several pending cases
were all to this effect.
The decision stripped of its verbiage
declares the entire law unconstitutional
and will not only do away with the collec-
ton of a tax this year, only a small por-
ton of which has been paid, but will
make it necessary for all corporations to
pay back the amount which was collected
under the law last year, together with in
terest. 1t will bankrupt nearly all cities
in the State, as levies for the year were
made on the supposition that the
law was constitutional and would
bring into the treasury of the
counties and cities stipulated amounts of
money. In Columbus, for example, S45,
600 and $4,000 were realized from this
tax last year, and none Of the amount has
been paid this year. They are now
behind the payment of salaries two and
three months. Other cities of the State
are similarly situated. A great question
with municipal and county authorities is
how to secure immediate relief from the
embarrassing situation, the Legislature
not being in session TO grant authority.

DENVER, October 2s.-A strike among
the coal miners of the State commenced
some time ago in a small way is becoming
general. To-day's reports swell the num-
Der of strikers to 5000, causing a suspen-
sion of operations in nearly. all the rr;pf;.
pan niiHes OF the state. The supply OF
coal in this city is becoming short and
some apprehension is felt Delegates rep
resenting the miners in t%wenty-nine of the
leading mines are holding a meeting here.
A statement of grievances and demands,
which are varied, will be presented to the
mine owners tomorrow, when in all prob
ability the differences will be amicably adj
justed and work resumed. The miners
EVERYWHERE are peaceable.

DEATH IN A MINE.
Fourteen Unfortunate Men Meet
A Terrible End.
Hugh McCulloch Appointed

A Big Strike Among the Colo
RADIO Miners.
The Terrible Mine Explosion.

UNIoNTowN, Pa. October 2S.-The
worst fears touching the fate of the men
imprisoned in the coal mine at Youngs-
town, four miles from this place, by the
explosion of fire damp which took place
there at 4 O'Clock last evening, have been
fully confirmed. Six of the miners were
taken out last evening soon after the dis
aster. Two of them were dead and two
Of the other four are so seriously injured
that there is no hope of their recovery.
This left from fourteen to eighteen men
supposed to be still imprisoned in the
mine. The work of searching for these
men was continued indust-iously through
ont the whole night and by this morning
the dead bodies of twelve of them had
been brought out and delivered to their
friends and relatives at the mouth of the
pit. This makes fourteen dead in all and
together with the four injured accounts
for eighteen Of the whole number sup
posed to be in the mine. 1t is now be-
lieved all have been found.

Jule-R Republican special for Good Hope,

a well and fayorably known miner, was
shot dead here this afternoon. At the
ante-mortem examination Hickman said
his partners, Frank Beck and Tom Welsh,
determined to murder and rob another
miner of $3.50, which they knew he pos
sessed. They insisted upon Hickman's
joining them and upon his refusal both
drew revolvers and fired. Excitement
among the miners runs high. A large
number are in hot pursuit and lynching is
inevitable if they are caught

THE LATE VOTE IN MAINE.-The
returns from Maine, though not Off
cial, are sufficient to allow a close es.
innate of the result. The sotal vote
is in round numbers $4,000, which
is 5000 less than in September, 1880,
and but 1900 more than in 1882,
when Governor Robbie was elected by
q plurality of 5000. The Republi-
can vote is 79,2OO, gain of G, 800, or
nine per cent. The Democratic vote
is $4,000, loss of 1900, or five
per cent. from the fusion vote of 1882,
and the scattering vote has increased
from 1000 to $1,000.
The Philadelphia Times comment
ing upon these figures, says:
"This is little more than the regu-
lar party majority in Maine. In 1868
the Republicans carried the State
in September by 10000; in 1872
by 1900, and in 1876 BY $4,000
In 1878 there was again q Repub-
lican plurality of $4,000, but at
this time the Greenback split
mixed the politics Of the State all up
and il had only begun to settle down
again two years ago. This year the
Republicans and Prohibisionists have
got back the old majority. swelled,
