louisville, PA, May IA cave-in
occurred to-day at the North Ashland col
lier hill, by which three miners and driver
were entombed. and another fatally injured
while endeavoring to escape from the col
liery. 1t was held by the Philadelphia and
Reading Coal and Iron Company. At ten
o'clock the water from above broke through,
washing out the pillars and engulfng the

from the fall with two mule-trip
of cars. John Head, father of the
the boy heard noise of rushing water, and
leaping on the foremost mule then passing,
he attempted to reach place of safety.
The falling coal, however, caught him and
pinned him and the mules to the ground.
The victims are Charles Dougherty, Joseph
Ennis and Michael McKeran, miners, and
Martin Heard, driver, killed outright; and
John Heard, both legs broken, ribs crushed
and shoulder broken. The latter was taken
out within an hour by the rescuing party,
but he cannot survive his injuries. The &c
cident was caused by the dropping of pill
lars from the gangway, thus weakening the
walls.
A WEDDING PARTY UPSET.
CINCINNATI, May 14.-As Mr.. Joseph
Van Wahide, of Cincinnati, with his best
man, was accompanying Miss Mamie Ready,
of Newport, Ky., to church in that city in
a carriage, to make her his bride, at about
eight o'clock last night, railway train
frightened the horses and they ran away.
The race was long and the driver struggled
hard, but his team ran across mortar box
nearly upsetting the coach and threw him
from his seat. SEEING no other chance for
escape, Mr.. Won Wabide allowed his in
tended bride and her sister to jump from
the carriage into the street, which they did.
The prospective bride was seriously injured
and was taken home unconscious. Only
short distance further on the bridegroom
and his best man jumped into the street,
not a moment too soon, for dozen yards
ahead the horses rushed under a low pro-
jectng limb of tree. against which the
body of the coach dashed and was wrecked.
At the home of the bride, few hours later,
were the doctor, the patient, a distracted
bridegroom and guests. The marriage
ceremony was, however, performed at mid
night, the bride sitting proppes in bed.
There is still anxiety about her recovery.

CENTRAL AMERICA.

The President of Honduras Interviewed
Relative to the Late War and the Present
Status of AGairs-The United States
Looked To for Central American DeyeI-
opment-Reciprocity Wanted.
New ORLEANS, La, May 15.-The
Times Democrat publishes an interyie,.
with President Bogran of Honduras rela-
tive to the late war and present status of
affairs in Central America. Bogran says
there are three parties there, the
Nationals, who favor unification of
the five States; the Conservatives,
who oppose it, and those who adhere to
the several governments with no opinion
at all on the question of the Union. Him
self, Barrios and Zaldivar, of Saivad or,
made a compact to reconstruct the five
States into one republic, which failed
through the treachery of Zaldivar, as Is
already known, and resulted in declara-
ton of war against the latter bv Barrios.
With the death of Barrios fell all hopes
of Central American patriots In Hon.
duras. Barrios was actuated in the
movement By a patriotic sentiment of re-
storing the old republic OF 1888, and not
through ambition of becoming dictator
of the united country. His patriotism
was sincere, and he had no hope of be-
coming President of the Union.
Regarding Admiral Jouett's statement
Mr.. Bogran said Barrios was too much Of
an American to seek European allies.
The only foreign nation whose friendship
be desired was the United States He
was a friend of the Nicaragua Canal, and
regarded America as generous nation
whom the smaller States need not fear.
Boeran looked TO the United States for
the development of Central America, and
would offer every inducement to its citi-
zens in the way of grants. Honduras
desired to close reciprocity treaty with
the United States.

A LONDON MOB.

Trafalgar Square, London. In Possession of
a Boisterous Mob, Who Sing "Ruie Bril-
tannia.'' and Indulge in Other Cuipabie
Demonstrations.
LONDON, May IA riot occurred this
afternoon between q mob and the police
for the possession of the Nelson monu-
ment In Trafalgar Square. About 10000
persons had assembled in the Square to
make demonstration against the Gov
eminent budget proposals to increase the
duties on spirits and beer. The crowd
was very unruly. The police found them
selves unable TO maintain order. The
pressure on the speakers CON-
PEELED them TO mount the pedestal
of the Nelson Monument. When from
this eminence he speeches were resumed,
they were rendered inaudible by the up
roar among the roysterers. The police
intervened to secure silence for the ora
tors, and then a struggle ensued between
the mob and the police for possession Of
the monument. The row lasted nearly an
hour, and the promoters OF the meeting
and the police wer. compelled to retire
leaving the crow,' singing in triumph.
"RUEE BRITANNIA"
Soon after the mob had compelled the
speakers 10 leave, it surged down to the
front of the National Club, which faces
Trafalgar Square, w. G.. Every person
noticed entering or leaving the club
building was mobbed. The attitude oil
the crowd was so menacing that tho
CLUB doors were closed, and
a messenger was dispatched tn
Scotland Yard for additional police. At
nine o'clock last night the rioters were
still in full possession of Trafalgar Square
and Northumberland avenue was also &C
cupied by mob of several thousand.
The police by this time had been largely
reinforced, had charged a number of
times upon the mob and had made several
arrests

In Danger of Forfeiture.

CRY OF MEXICO, May 16.-The Govern
Inent officials say that the concession to the
Mexican National Railroad Company is i'm
serious danger of forfeiture. According to
article of the cOmpany's modified con-
tract of January II. 1883, the company
bound itself to deliver 5000 kilometers of
finished road to the Government in
two years. By the same article it
was stipulated that 200 kilometers were
to be OH the Matamoras IL Monterey line,
on which line work was not to be sus-
pended. The time for compliance with
this contract was to begin ON January IL,
1883, and the 500 klometers were to have
been delivered on January II, 1855. This
was not done, only 100 kilometres OH the
Matamoras & Monterey line being deliv-
cred. The company's concessions now de-
pend upon the forbearance of the Govern
ment.

Suggestions for Helping the Unemployed
In Larg. Cities.
WASHINGTON, May 15.-The monthly
statistical publication Of the Agricultural
Department for May, which will be issued
within two or three days, contains a COM
prehensive statement of wages paid to farm
laborers i'm all parts of the country, based
upon what Mr.. Dodge, the statistician of
the department, believed to he entirely trust
worthy: Eastern States, $3.50; Middle
States, Sa319; Southern States, st4.29;
Western States, s2226; California, s3s, rs.
The amount of labor seeking EN-
ployment in agriculture at the pres
ent time is unusually large, yet
there are many located in almost
every section of the country. in which there
is more or less complaint of scarcity. The
report closes with the practical suggestion
that in the manufacturing towns and cities
oIiices be opened, either by the labor unions,
or by benevolent citizens, through which
communication may be opened between UNI
employed city workmen and fairness need
ing help, so that reputable and worthy
city Iaborer may have the means of making
known bis true character instead of start
ing out on foot at a venture subject to the
risk OF being mistaken for professional
tramp.

and two killed. Thrty-one teams and
twenty-one teamsters were captured. Ten

WINNIPEG, MAN, May l5.-Later dis
patches say the train, which consisted of
thirty-one transport wagons laden with
supplies, ammunition, arms and clothing
for the troops, under escort of ten mount
ed police, left Swift Current for Battle

good and excellent progress was made.
A point twelve miles from Battleford was
being passed about nine O'Clock yester-
day morning, when suddenly horde
of Indians rushed out of the
bush from all directions and seize d
the transfers, OF whom there was one
to each wagon. Three or four savages
attacked each teamster, and the latter
were instantly cverpowercd. The
mounted police offered desperate re-
sistance, and for time the exchange of

The inhabitants were terribly alarmed,
but the day wore away without any
attack. Colonel Otter was making
preparations to attack the In
Gians, but on secold thought resolved to
wait for reinforccments. There is no
doubt about the band being Poundma-
