SCRANTON, Pa, July About l:3c'
o'clock yesterday morning an explosions
of gas which shook the entire city and,
caused something like general panic
occurred at one of the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna & Western Company's coal shafts
in the northwestern portion of Scranton
Many persons were startled from their
sleep by the sharp shocks, ana some
thought it might possibly be an earth
quake. Those who were abroad wit
messed dazzling flash of light, and1
thought it possibly was some of the pow

CONFUSION being caused by mine ey-
plosion seemed Incredible. The excite
ment in the vicinity of the shaft was most
intense. The windows of all houses ins
Park Place, a thickly settled portion of
the city, were smashed, and the dwell
inss swayed like a ship in storm.
The shalt and ito surroundings pre-
sented strange picture. Heavy timbers-
were flung nearly half a mile away. The
massive foundation of tine hoisting tower
was moved several feet, and all the stout
buildings, including the engine house,
boiler house and fan house, were disman--l
lied. Coal cars were flung from the rail-
road track and smashed to pieces, and
the entire place was a complete wreck.
Engineers and firemen employed in the
vicinity of the shaft were badly stunned.
out recovered shortly afterward, and the
wonder is that they escaped with their
ives.
The Clark vein, in which the explosion
occurred, is one of the worst in the VAL
ey. Gas blowers, which issue from
:revices in the coal, and are quite CON-
non there, sometimes become ignited,
causing the workmen a good deal of
rouble.
When the fire boss, Tunis Evans, WIS.,

Mackin Gets n Sentence Of Five Years in
the Penitentiary.
CHICAGO, July 2.-The jury in the
Mackin perjury case returned yesterday
afternoon, having been out exactly an hour,
with verdict of guilty. The punishment
was fixed at five years Imprisonment in the
penitentiary. As the last words of the YER
diet were pronounced Mackin slightly paied
and clasped his hands together as II I'm a
spasm of pain, but this lasted but moment
and he chatted smilingly with his brother.
The jury was unanimous from the start
as to Mackin's guilt and there
was very little discussion over the term of
Imprisonment. The delay in reaching the
verdict, an hour exactly, came from the
fact that the jury sent for and read over
part of the evidence. The prisoner was at
once taken to Jail, where he remarked to
a reporter, WHO had inquired how he felt
about the verdict: "Well, you know, me

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July 1.-The Repsbk-
can of this city has receiveda special ca
blegram from Auckland stating that De-
tectives Tracey and Badger arrived safely
in that city on the morning OF the 29tha
nit. Mr.. Gamble, the American Consul.
met the officers and gave them all the in
formation relating to the arrest sad de-
tentiou of MAXWELL The latter was
found in custody and answered fully the
descriptions of him given at the time OF
the murder. He has been treated well
by the Auckland jailer and appeared to be-
enjoying good health.
He was greatly surprised when the an
nouncement of the arrival of the St..
Louis officers was made. They immedi-
ately had long talk with him, which re-
suited in Maxwell's signifying his will
lingness to return on the .next steamer.
The papers were presented in due form 1
and the requisition promptly acknowl-
edeed.
The officers made an examination OF
Maxweli's effects and found the field
glasses bought ut AIoe's, the hat bought :
at Hart & Duff's, 8 lot Of clothing belong
ing to Preller and number of articles,
with the alias, "IIugh NJ. Brooks,
stamped on them.
Maxwell still insists that he did not /.
kill his friend Preller, and that his name
is T. G.. D'Augier and not Maxwell. He
is disposed 10 waive all rights under the
New Zealand law for the purpose of COM
ing back here and, as he says, establish
ing his innocence. He had very little
money when he landed, but had letters of
introduction to parties in Auckland and
Sidney under the name of D'Augier-
which are believed to have been forged
from Preller's letters .of Introduction to-
people in the same cities. The officers
and their prisoner will return on the
steamer Zealandia, which will leave
Auckland July Goth, and arrive in Frisco
about the middle of August.

mar, maintained that the leases of Indian
lands by ca tlemen were illegal. and that
the effect of such leases was evil and de-
moralizing. The Indians had no power to
grant such leases, nor had the Interior De-
partment any legal authority to assent to
them.

Railway killed a Mexican sheep herder be-
tween Basmente and Diaz. The engineer
was arrested and conveyed to the Chihua-
hua jail. There were several other Ameri
can engineers and conductors in Mexican
jails on account of unavoidable accidents,
like that stated, and it was believed that
these frequent arrests will result in inter
national complications.

THE lSTHMUS.

The Rrvolutionists Evacuate Two Towns
Jouett Trying To Arrange Peace.
PANAMA, June "a, VIA GALVESTON,
July News comes from the Atlantic
coast that the Atlantic ports of Baranquilla
and Savanilla, are again in the hands of the
Government forces, the revOlutionists hav-
ing gone, bag and baggage, up the river to
some point in the interior, which can not be
OWNED with accuracy. This movement,
some assert is to intercept General Quin-
bero Calderon, who is OH the way with two
thousand men to join the loyal forces in the
neighborhood of Carthagana. Car
mago's force is sufficiently strong
to destroy that of his adversary.
Others aver that Carnage is on his
way to Bogaho. and that he will pass La
Gloria, where Quinbero's force is supposed
to be, without giving battle, in order to lose
no men before arriving at the capital.
There is said to be no force of any moment
in the neighbOrhood OF Bogota. and the
capital would fall an easy prey to the bold
and energetic revOlutioniSts. The capture
of the capital would not necessarily signify
the triumph of the revolution, but it would
give it a fresh impetus, arouse the disaf-
fected in other parts of the republic, and
kinde anew the sinmbering fires of revolt.
There are others, however, who believe that
the rebels are bound for the States of
Santa Anna and Antioquna, where they
can easily recruit number of men among
their sympathizers. Carnage and his as
sociates evidently intend to fight, as they
refused to ratify the conditions of agree
ment drawn UP the other day on board the
Tennessee by Justo Arosemena and Gen.
eral Hernandez. These conditions were
favorable to the revolutiOnists and loyalists
alike, and it was hoped would
end all trouble. Camargo is sup
posed to have received news favorable
to the revolution from sources that
were not made public. The only result of
the peace conf, renee was the interchange
of prisoners. Admiral JOuett has not yet
returned from Savanilla, where he has re-
manned in the hope that he could be of
service in arranging peace between the bel
ligerents. The United States steamer Iro-
quois, Captain Gates Sterling, sailed for
Guayaquil few days ago. The visit of
the IroquOis is in connection with the now
celebrated Santos case. There is still much
sickness on the Isthmus.

THE CATTLE TRAILS.



The Cattlsmsa and the Governmept-Ths
Trails Must Not be INSTRUCTED.
GALVESTON, TEX, July "A dispatch
from Austin says: The Hon. ]. d. Sayres
was in conference to-day viii John T.
Lyle, President of the Southwestern Live
Stock Association, in regard to the reported
interruption to the passage of Texas cattle
to Colorado over the trail. Mr.. Sayres tele-
graphed to the Secretary of the Interior as
follows: ut is reported that Texas cattle
are being prevented by the United States
authorities from passing through the Chero-
kee Strip a distance of about forty miles, to
reach Colorado. II true, immediate loss
will result parties having driven from
Texas about so, 600 head of cattle upon the
faith that they will be permitted to pass
through. Immediate action should be taken
to keep the route open, or great injustice
will be done, resulting in heavy loss to Tex
as cattlemen without any benefit to any
one, except for speculative purposes. Have
written to you fully" Major Sayres saw
Governor Ireland, and at his instance the
Governor sent Secretary Lamar the follow
ing dispatch: "There are now on the
border about $4,000 head of cattle ON their
way to Northern markets from Texas. Fed
eral officers, said to be United States Mar
shals, have notified the owners that they
can not pass along the agreed trail
across the southwest corner of the Cherokee
Nation. 1t is not credible that this is done
at the instance of the Interior Department.
l shall not believe it until know that it is
so. With other obstacles thrown in the
way Of Texas commerce by Kansas and Ne
braska, this is added for the purpose of get
ting the cattle at nominal figures, and will
prove disastrous in the extreme, and earn
estly request that you give such orders at
your earliest convenience as will allow
these men to get to market" Mr.. Little
left yesterday for the trail. The cattle on
the trail are from South and Southwest
Texas. No answers have yet been received
to the kilograms to Secretary Lamar.
