WILKEsBARRE, Penn, June 14.-The
Darrance shaft of the Lehigh Valley Coal
company met with a serious accident last
night, which, though destructive to the
property, was not attended with loss OF life.
A workman's lamp lighted the blower OF
gas in the slope, short distance from the
bottom OF the shaft, and so furiously did it
burn that the men were unable to safely
combat the flames and were compelled to
take flight. Fortunately there were two
ways of escape, one by means OF the air
shaft and the other through a second OPEN
ing. When it was found that the lire
could not be extinguished by the appliances
at hand, the department was called out at
midnight. The department responded
promptly and began flooding the mine with
water, taken from the Susquehanna river,
few hundred feet from the mine. This,
however, did not prove to be a very
prompt extinguisher. The pumping had
to be kept up all night and
to-day, and how long it must be continued
nobody knows at present. Exploring par
ties were lowered into the pit this evening,
but the fire was so fierce that nothing could
be done by them. The present indications
are that it will be several days before the
fire can be extinguished. The accident
will throw about two hundred men out OF
employment for some time. The damage
to the mine will be heavy.

WASHINGTON, June 14.-The new adj
ministration is discovering that the United
States is large country, and that the man.
agement of the business of the government
requires much room and money. The
postmaster general has found it necessary
to rent another building Marinis hall-for
the use of the money order branch of the
postoffice department. Every available
inch of room in all the department build
ings is occupied. and in many of the depart
ments the clerical force is crowded much
more than due regard for sanitation
would permit. The government will within
five years not only have to double the size
of the postoffice department, but will have
to erect two if not three, other depart
ment buildings. The business of
the government has grown more
rapidly during the last fifteen years
in proportion to its population than it did
during the thirty years that preceded it.
The postmaster general finds serious
obstacle in giving effect to his circular as
regards offensive partisanship. In the post
office department, where changes have been
made, the Democratic aspirants were told
that they must prefer charges against men

NEW YORK. June 14.-Gen. Logan'S
visit to New York this week, while solely
to call on Gen. Grant, started good deal
of talk about 1888. The generals rooms at
the Fifth Avenue hotel were thronged with
callers during his stay here. Few OF those
who came to pay their respects failed
to put in a word about the next
presidential contest One of his visitors
was Sheriff James O'Brien, the leader III
the independent Democratic organization III
this city, but there was no general polltlcal
conference, as has been reported IN some
directions, and the visit to New ork was
not political mission. The nearest ap-
proach to politics was half hour earnest
talk between Gen. Logan and Ex-senator
Tom Platt which took place at the stair
way leading up to the generals room. The
most heated imagination could hardly make
a great political conference out OF chat III
an open hall. Gen. Logan beheves
that Gen. Grants malady is scrotul-
Gus sore throat, and hopes that
the physicians are mistaken in their
diagnosis. The family of Gen. Grant cling
to some such hope. An incident OF
his life not generally known is cited by Col.
Fred Grant to support their belief. All the
Grant family have died of consumption for
generations. When Gen. Grant left West
Point he was considered sure victim OF
that fatal disease. Indeed, the physicians
predicted his death within year. He
went out to Missouri, bought a saddle-horSe
and took to the woods. For six months or
q year he did nothing but ride horseback in
the woods. His lungs grew stronger and
he gradually became strong himself, but a
lingering, stubborn sore throat remained,
from which he did not recover. His fam
ily trace a connection between that malady
and his present trouble. His physicians
are awaiting the slow march of his disease,
but the general is sturdily taking pro-
prietary medicine and believes that 1t gives
him some help.

Hoosiers Hungry for Office.

Sp0clul W tllc 0lODc-
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, June 14.-The
strife for office, like the trail OF the serpent,
is over them all. Vice President Hendricks
and Congressman Bynum are at it again
tooth and toenail. The controversy
over the postmastership cannot have
been forgotten. Evidently it did
not teach the congressman that
discretion is the better part OF valor.
He entered the lists again, and this time
against both the vice president and Senator
VOORHEES,, who united on candidate for
collector of the port. Bynums man was
appointed and this seemed to give him
courage. The office at stake now is a
membership on the board OF pension review.
At present the Rev. w. w. Curry
represents Indiana on this organization,
and Mr.. Bynum thinks that K. w. Med
kirk should be paid for his services III
uniting the Greenback and Democratic
forces last fall by bestowing upon him this
appointment. OStenslbly he is urging 1t ON
the ground that Medkirk is soldier and a
lawyer. The other man is E. G. Buskirk.
He made the welcoming speech to Hendricks
on the occasion of the recent serenade to
him on his return home, and it is to pay
that debt that Hendricks is engaged In sup
porting him. Buskirk was once elected
Judge of the criminal court here, and spent
the first year or so of his term in New York
attending law lectures. 1t is charged
against him by the other crowd that he
is unfit for office, and the fact that this
charge is pending has been brought to Mr.
Hendricks attention. He is at least as
good a lawyer as Medkirk. While there Is
not the national interest centering in this
contest that marked the postoffice struggle,
locally the issue is awaited with anxiety as
tending to determine just what influence
the vice-president has with the admins

Grant Getting worse.

NEW YORK, June 14.-After Drs. Doug
las, Shrady and Sands had held their usua
Sunday consultation at Gen. Grants house,
Douglas said that the general had suffered
some little disturbance during last night,
the cause of which was attributed to the
eating of some asparagus, but that he slept
with little break from a. m. to a. m.
and was not suffering to-day, though feeling
the heat. DR.. Shrady said that the swell
ing on the outside of the throat had in
creased and had affected the patients
voice. Col. Fred Grant, after the consulta-
ton, said that his father had bad night,
that the general was growing weaker, and
that his condition would now probably be
be one of increasing debility, without pain.
The colonel added that. if possible. the
general would be removed from the city on
Tuesday next, one week earlier than be-
fore intended.

tom which has long prevailed. Chief Har-
rigan has been reinstated and has pledged

BAYARD,S DEFENSE.
Reply to the Attack Upon His he.
cent Address.

WASHINGTON, June 14.-In the address
which Secretary Bayard recently delivered
before the students of the Missouri univer-
sity, he is reported as having said that when
in consequence of a tie between Jefferson
and Burr in the electoral college the
election devolved upon the house
of representatives. His grandfather,
Federalist, instructed by Ham
ilton, the great chief of the federalists,
cast his vote for Thomas Jefferson. This
statement in the report of what Secretary
Bayard said having been denied and sharply
criticised, a reporter called at the resi-
dence of Secretary Bayard and asked him
if he had seen these attacks. ooh, yes,"
replied the secretary, ST have read them.
They were intended as an
ATTACK UPON ME- PERSONALLY.
They are ungenerous and unjust, but 1
do not care for that. But that the effect of
it should be to call attention to the history
of that period greatly gratifies me. II it
shall be but the means of leading my coun-
trymen to learn the lesson of that epoch, |
shall count myself fortunate in having
been the cause of that result. Now, the
facts are that having listened ON this occa-
sion to beautiful and glowing eulogy on
which the antithesi between him and
Alexander Hamilton was sharply
drawn, somewhat to the disadvantage
of the latter, I aIose to speak
without the least premeditation and conse-
quently without note. was glad to hear
Jefferson praised, I thought it ought never
to be forgotten and ought never to go un-
acknowledged, that Hamilton, when the oc-
casion arose, was superior to party. He
knew the character Of the nominee of his
party. of the man who seven years after
wards was
TRIED FOR TREASON.
AS the country did not know it, he did not
hesitate to proclaim it. This is the point I
was making, that there was time when it
became the duty of patriotic man to sac
rifice party for country, and l was illus
trating it by the great example of Hamil-
ton. Naturally, I referred to James A.
Bayard, for he stood nearer the
counsels of Hamilton than other federalists.
My crime is that he was my grandfather,
and now do not think said that he cast
his vote for Jefferson, but whatever I may
have said in the address l delivered / say
now that my grandfather contributed more
than any man, except Hamilton, to the de-
feat of Burr and the election of Jefferson,
and that he voted in such way as. to secure
| that result. I could not well have said that
his vote was positively cast for Jefferson
for that would have been an historical er-
ror. In the sixth volume of Jefferson's
correspondence are letters in which he
urges Mr.. Bayard to break with the Feder-
alistS and vote for Jefferson, and there are
extracts of letters of my grandfather's bear
ing date previous to those letters of Jeffer-
son in which he declares his intention of
doing that very thing.
