She had upheld her son throughout,
and was the central figure during the

the words was not yet cold when a
shout burst forth from the crowd which

streets. The mother, Mrs. Herrick,
clasped her boy in her arms and held
him close, while cheers and wild shouts
were lifted, peal on peal. The
people shook each others hands
and Rugged both the mother and son,
where they stood each in the others
embrace. The ring Of the judges

Fatal Explosion i'm a Mine.
[By telegraph to the Dispatch. ]


WILKEsBARRE, Pa, December
IA frightful explosion of gas took
place this morning in Mill-Creek mine,
operated by the Delaware and Hudson
Coal Company at the Plains, few miles
from this city. At the time of the &C.
cident there were about 100 miners, la
borers, and boys in the slope. The
explosion occurred in what is known as
No. II lift, which is located at the ex-
treme end of the opening of the slope,
being 1900 feet from the mouth of the
mines, and therefore its ventilation was
a difficult problem. Many of the miners
were burned. One died soon after be-
ing brought out. Three others have no
chance to live more than q few hours.
One was brought out naked, his cloth
ing having been totally burned. These
are probably all whose injuries will
prove fatal.

Against SiIver-DOlIar Coinage.
IBy telegraph to the Dispatch.l

WASHINGTON, December 1.-THE
bill introduced in the Senate to-day by
Senator Mcpherson to suspend the COIN
age of the standard silver dollar pro-
vides that SO much Of the act Of Febru-
airy %, 1873, entitled " An act to au-
thorize the coinage Of standard silver
dollar and to restore its legal-tender
character" as authorizes and directs
the Secretary of the Treasury to pur-
chase from time to time of silver bullion
at market price thereof not less than
two million dollars worth per month,
and cause the same to be coined into
such dollars monthly as fast as so pur-
chased, shall be suspended.
Mr.. Evarts presented in the Senate
to-day petition of the New York Cham
Der Of Commerce praying that Congress
may pass law providing for the sus-
pension of the coinage of standard silver
dollars. 1t was referred to the Com
mittee on Finance.

Mr.. Bayard informs Mr.. Les that
the tissues thus raised arc grave, and
will be submitted to Congress at its
next meeting.
Secretary Bsyard writes to Mr.. kei-
ley, under date of September 18th, ac-
knowledging tho receipt Of his letter Of
resignation as Minister to Austria, and
saying that the reasons be assigns for
such action are consonant with your
own dignity and personal character as
an upright citizen and honest public
servant"
He adds that the President and his
Cabinet are completely satisfied With
his tMr. Keiley's) attitude and action
throughout "this remarkable episode
in our diplomatic history, and all
deeply regret that the country has
been prevented, by the unprecedented
and intolerable action Of the Austria
Hungarian Government, from having
the advantage Of your personal pre-
sence at Vienna.
81 will not believe that the people Of
the United States will ever consent to
the creation or enforcement of such
tests as have been insisted upon by the
Government of Austria.
I" Such action must naturally awaken
widespread amazement, coupled with
Indignation and resentment when the
history Of the case is made public; nor
do l believe that these sentiments will
be confined to our own country, but
that wherever religious liberty is valued
and respected the common judgement
will be formed.
Whilst the immediate cause for your
voluntary act Of severance is to be re-
GREETED, congratulate you that your
name is honorably associated with the
maintenance and viDdication Of princi-
pies which constitute the very soul Of
personal liberty, and which lie at the
foundation of our Government.
$40 be allied with such principles Is
an honor at all times, with success as
a certain finality."

A Creek. bottom, Ya,is Oas


A Hazleton special says: A serious
collapse occurred to-day at the Harleigh
colliery Of NJ. S. Kemerer. A full acre
Of the surface went down, part Of which
was directly beneath the channel Of
Black creek. The water poured into
the mine in immense volumes, COM
pletely flooding it and driving the mi
ners from the mine.
The water poured so rapidly into the
mine that the men working in the Eber-
vale mine also had to stop work, -
nothing but narrow pillar separated
the two mines, and it is feared the Eber-
vale workings will also be flooded.
Many men are now digging new chan
mel to turn the creek. The damage
already done to the Harleigh mine will
amount to many thousands Of dollars.
and over 800 hands are thrown out Of
work.

preme Court of Utah in the case of

ant sentenced to pay fine Of $500 and
be imprisoned in the penitentiary for

WAsHINGTON, December 1.-THE
Chair laid before the Senate joint reso-
luton Of the Legislature Of Connecticut
urging Congress to pass without unne-
cessary delay the bill to provide for the
presidential count. Mr.. Plat briefly
called attention TO the importance OF
the subject covered by the resolution,
saying that the people of his State felt
much interest in it, and that the Gov
ernor of his State had requested him
Platt) to bring the matter to the atten-
ton of the Senate.
Mr.. Hoar was rather Of the opinion
that Mr.. Platt's State was responsible
for the failure in the House Of the bill,
already three times passed in the Senate
to meet the difficulty. At least the
distinguished representative Of that
State had been chairman Of the House
conference committee on the bill in the
last Congress, and the conference report
was not made to the House till so late
in the session that in the pressure OF
other business nothing was done by the
House. The Senate, Mr.. Hoar said,
had done everything that was possible
in the premises, and was not response
bic for the failure Of the bill TO become
q law.
Mr.. Plat did not think the facts
stated by Mr.. Hoar carried with them
the inference drawn by Mr.. Hoar--
namely, that Connecticut was response
bic for the failure of the bill referred
TO.
The Chair also laid before the Senate
a memorial from the State Executive
Committee appointed by the constitu-
tional convention Of the Territory Of
Dakota, praying for the admission of
Southern Dakota as State ofthe Union
and transmitting draft Of the Constitu-
ton for the approval Of Congress.
Mr.. Harrison said be had only await
ed the receipt Of this memorial in order
TO introduce bill providing for the ad-
mission of the Territory named, aud
that he would introduce such bill at
an early opportunity,
Mr.. Hoar, from the Committee on
Privileges and Elections, reported IA
yorably the original bill providing for
the performances of the duties Of Presi-
dent in the case Of the death, resigns
tiod, or inability Of both President and
Wee President. He said Il was sub
stsntislly the same bill that had been
acted on last year by the Senate, and
gave notice that he would call It up to-
morrow for consideration.
