GALVESTON.
The Distress and Loss Much Greater
Than Reported.

GALVESTON, November l5.-Contribu-
tions were solicited from pulpits this
morning In the city, and over $1,000
were thus gathered for the benefit OF the
sufferers by Friday mornings disastrous
conilagratlon. Special prayers for the
sick and suffering among the victims
were offered In the majority OF the
churches, which were largely attended.
The headquarters OF the various sub
relief committees were open all day and
evening. and fully 100 fammies were as
sisted during the past ~ hours, In addi-
ton to those already temporarily pro-
vided for. The truth Is, that the Gene
raj Relief Committee Is finding the dis
tress aud loss among the poor sufferers
to be much greater that Ii was calcu-
lated. All careful estimates placed the
number of families that were burned out
at 1000. This Ia equivalent to 5000 peo--
pie all told. The committee calculated
that out OF the 1000 families not over hall
of them would require or accept relief,
the balance being able to sustain their
loss. In this calculation the COM
mittee erred, for fully 500 out
of the 1000 families must need be cared
for in some degree. This means 1000
people, and Ia fully double what busi-
ness men calculated on when they had
their cotton exchange meeting, and un-
dertoOk to grnpple with the situation.
The Odd Fellows ard knights OF Py-
thias held formal meeting to-day and
issued calls to their organizations.
The Missouri Pacific Railway Com
pany did handsome thing to-day by
subscribing large amount to the relief
fund in the following telegram:
INDEPENDENCE Mo, December 10.
TO X. Fulton, Mayor: I am author
lied by MIR. Gould to subscribe on behalf
of the missouri Pacific Railway Com
pany, the sum Of 50 800 towards fund
FOR the relief Of those rendered home
less and needy by the terrible fire In

Terrific Explosion.

WILKEsBARRE, PENN, Oct. 2l-A ter
rife explosion Of gas took place in the No.
2 slope of the Delaware & Hudson COM
pany at Plymouth, this afternoon. The
greatest. excitement prevails there, as the
slope is full of men and boys. One report
has it that the number of killed will be
large. As far as can be learned, fifteen
men are known to be fatally burned, The
coroner has been notified Of the accident.
It is reported that of the fifteen men burned,
fourteen have since died. The priests from
this city and Nanticoke have been tele-
graphed Tor. The accident was caused by a
Miner, who entered the abandoned portion
of the slope, which was marked dangerous,
with a naked lamp on his head, thereby fir
ing the gas
The loss Of life is not so great as at first
reported here by telegraph. At this hour
is dead, and fourteen are frightfully
burned. Most of these, it is thought, can
not recover Most Of the injured men are
Poles and Hungarians. .H -
The miner who went into the aban-
doned opening, and fred the gas that caused
the explosion at No. shaft, was Peter
Seeiantsky. There were two explosions.
First, that Of gas, which was soon fol-
lowed by another, sweeping everything be-
fore it, and sending flame of fire up the
slope and above the fan house, and send
ing shingles and timbers flying from the
breaker 400 feet above the bank. Seelant-
sky was not killed, and was removed
from the slope with only his boots on
and no hair on the top Of his head. He
was otherwise uninjured.

Death in q Mine.

RICHMOND, VA, Oct. Considerable
excitement was created here this afternoon
by report that terrible explosion had
occurred in the Raccoon pit, at the Glover
Hill mines in Chesterfield, about twenty
five miles from Richmond, by which 100
men had been entombed. Later investiga-
ton, however, developed that only two men
had been caught by the explosion and
were probably dead. Their names are Hob
sar Cheatham and AL Leigers. The former
was a gas man, whose duty it was to exam
inc the chambers of the slope, to see If they
were properly ventilated, before the mem
went to work. Leigers was contractor,
and worked force Of hands in the mines.
1t seems they went down the slope togeth-
er, made an examination and reported every
thing all right. How the explosion oc-
Cured can not be positively stated. The
explosion occurred in the lower end Of the
slope and caught Cheatham and Leigers,
but all the men who were at work nearer
the mouth of the slope escaped before the
black damp overlook them. A rescuing
party went into the mines, but could not
at first get within 800 feet of the unfortu-
nate men, owing to black damp. This af-
ternOon they succeeded in recovering the
body of Cheatham.

Seattle and Tacoma Agitated Over the
. Celestial Intruders.

Seattle and Tacoma Agitated Over the
Celestial Intruders.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2l.-Governor Watson
Squire, of Washington territory, has sent
special report to the secretary of the inte-
rior upon the anti-Chinese agitation in the
territory. The governor says that there
has been much agitation on the subject Of
obliging the Chinese residents to leave the
country, particularly in counties bordering
on Puget sound. Several public meetings
have been held, at which there were pres
ent delegates of the knights of labor, and
violent and incendiary speeches were made.
The principal point for these demonstra-
tions has been Seattle, and there has been
a great deal Of agitation at Tacoma. Thus
far no outbreak, although serious trouble
has been threatened. Persons accused of
killing Chinese hop pickers near Seattle
have been arrested and one is in Jail under
indictment for murder in the first degree.
Strong efforts have been made to intimi-
date Chinese employees at the Franklin and
Newcastle coal mines, and many of them
are leaving. The places are now quiet, but
the coal companies are anxious in re-
gard to the safety of their property. The
Chinese consul in San Francisco was in
formed that persons accused of numbering
Chinese had been arrested. The governor
says that it has been his desire to maintain
order without the employment Of troops,
and a strong organization Of the better
class of citizens of Seattle has arrayed itself
under the law for the preservation of peace.
The situation has been improving from day
to day, and it is concluded no necessity ex-
lists for calling upon the military. 1t is not
impossible that other developments on the
part of the lawless may occur on or about
the Chinese &C. committees % @ for the Chinese Chinese tS
vacate will expire.

The st. Louis Street Car Strike.

ST. LOUIS, Oct 21.-A startling develop
mentin the street car strike today was the
discovery by the police of an Internal ma
chine on the Washington avenue car track
at the corner of Compton avenue and
Morgan street. The machine was torch
of gas pipe, two feet long and filled with
gun powder. At either end was gun cap
within, and in the centre of the pipe, rod
was inserted which also communicated
with the powder. The machine was laid
along the groove in the track and SO ar
ranged that the wheel Of car would dis
charge the cap as soon as it was touched.
The gas pipe is now at the police headquar-
ters. There were no other developments in
the strike today. All lines are running to-
day.

The Ohio Election.

CINCINNATI, ONO, Oct. 22.-The official
count Of this county, as it will stand unless
changed by the action Of the courts, was
finished this afternoon, by recording the
vote of precinct "E'' of the eighteenth
ward. Judge Buckwalter, in deciding the
mandamus case for this precinct, said that
as Thompson, republican Judge, did not
witness the count, he could not compel
him to certify to it's accuracy. The other
judges had made a count, and had deliv-
cred their returns in an improper form. He
would require them to present their re-
turns in the usual form, showing the
date at which it was made. AS to the proof
Of fraud, the court said that siXty-nine
more votes were cast than there were
voters registered, which was conclusive
evidence that there was illegal voting; but
1t was not clear that these illegal votes
could not be determind by a contest. The
courts order to the judges did not indicate
what should be done with the returns, as
that question was not presented by the
proceedings. When the judges presented
the amended returns this afternoon, Justice
Sanderson, a member of the canvassing
board, could not be found, and another
justice Of the peace was called to act in his
place. Unofficial footings, complete, make
Hoadly's plurality 64s; Gendy (rep.), fol
lieutenant governor, has plurality Of 734
Moses F. Wilson has the Highest vote fol

ticket, having 1854. For representatives

ably issue certificates to all except the SEN
ators as soon as the footings are made. The
injunction as to the senators still holds.
