but they grew worse, and when 1t reached
Marietta twelve or fifteen had to be con-
veyed to the hotel in that town and receive
immediate attention. Four or five were re-
ported to be very low at midnight. 1t is
thought they were poisoned by eating

Items From the Annual Report of Indian
Commissioner Price-Two Cents Day to
Clothe and Feed the Indians.
WASHINGTON, d. c., October2S.
Commissioner Price, in his annual
report, says that the appropriation made
last year, after deducting trans portation,
ETC., left only 81 per capital to clothe
and feed the Indians, or u fraction less
han two cents per day. The Commits
sioner states very emphatically that this
amount is inadequate. Respecting the
Court of Offenses, established last year,
the Commissioner says:
At every agency where the court has been
established, 1t has been we'll received and the
decisions of the judges respectfully ac-
uuiesced in, and quietly and taceably en-
forced. At some of the agencies this court
has been Instrumental in aDOlishing many of
the most barbarous and pernicious customs
that have existed among the Indians from
time lmmemorfal: and if properly enconr-
aged, and the dians are made 10 believe
that the Govern nenU is honest in its en-
deavOrs to promote their welfare, and intel
lectual and moral advancement i believe
that in a few years polygamy and the
heatheniSh customs of the sun. dance, scalp
dance, and war dance will be entirely abol-
ished.
The report refers briefly to TIE fact
that the Indians are taking advantage of
the law allowing them to make home
stead entries and secure land by allot-
ment, and says that the total Indian pop
nlatiop is 263, 749; that of the S., 563, ,l0f
appropriated for the Indian office, a BAL
a ce of $366, sS5 Is unexpended; that the
results attained in Indian education are
regarded as entirely satisfactory, there
being considerably increased attend
ance 1t all schools, especially at the
boarding schools. .~st -
The report shows that the death rate
Increased over the previous year, which
IS attributed to the severe winter. 4s
The Commissioner recommends, q
change in the manner OF making appro
-nriations SO as to allow the Department
| discretion in their disbursement.

Terrific Explosion of Fire Damp in Q
Pennsylvania Coal AIine-Severai Miner,
Killed and Fifteen More Imprisoned In
the Burning Mine.
T UNIoNTOwN, Pa, October %.
Yesterday afternoon a terrific eX.
plosion of fire damp occur red in the
mines of the Youngstown Coke Com.
pany, whose works are situated four
miles north of Uniontown. One loud re.
port startled the employees, followed
81 feeEtlK addi665'Efsabbs hiyattaaear TIE sl re-
and the explosion was followed by sweep
ing flames Of fire, which completely shut
eff all passage to or from the mine.
In the course of an hour Su Jerintendent
Refs and others descended the air shaft
and took out the following:
Joseph Zsbtey, aged eighteen, found
dead; bods burned and crushed.
Jackson Lape, aged thirty; suffocated
by fire damp. %t As

David, son of Jacob Cole, also fatally
burned. --A aa-3
a boy named Chauncey, burned an |
arm broken.
Wash Keifer saved himself by lying
down in pool of water. a-. , =.
The flimes were to- fierce to allow
search to BE- prosecute d further. and it
was abandoned until preparation can b
completed for shutting off the air and
thus eXtinguishing the fire. There were
over twenty men in the mine at the time
OF the explosion, and it is thought the
fifteen or sixteen yet ill., wilin never be
taken out alive. The mine was inspect
