was big talk by number of boys
the other night, on the subject of po-
lygamy. Boys, there is one thing
certain, Uncle Sam is big fellow
and there is no power but ONE that
can withstand him. Uncle Sam has
said that polygamy must go, and go,
it will, if that ONE does not prevent
it. Just hold your horses short
time; both the big powers are deter
mined, and you will soon see the out
come. For our part, we will risk the

The ONE, referred to by this seces-

1t is this damnable disloya1ty, taught
by the Mormon press and alien tab
ernacle tyrants for half a century, IN
free America, that has trained Apos-
tie George g. Cannon's assassin sons,
and Apostle Rich's highway robber
son into the penitentiary, and which
has bred two or three generations OF

EVANSTON, Wy, T Jan. ls.-The whole
face of the country ,bout mine No. 4 at
Alny shows the effect of the fearful ex-
plosion of tire-damp which occurred Friday
night. The weigh and fan houses have com
pletely disappeared. The engine-house is
wretched ruin of fragments, and every
residence and business house fronting the
slope is more or less injured. The eSplo-
sion was the most serious accident which has
yet occurred i'll the Rocky Mountain coal
mines Every person in the mine was killed.
Fortunately the explosion happened in the
night but had it occurred during the day
hundreds of men and boys woull have been
killed A train of thirteen ears, going
down the slope when the explosion occurred,
were blown out of the mouth of the tunnel
as though shot from a cannon Two men
named William and Joseph, passengers on
the train, We're blown 70) feet One OF
them was found nearly the other side of the
town. His letd, arms and bowels
had Ieen torn away. The bcdy

fully thirty yards after it struck the
ground The ground for fully half mile
around the mouth of the mine is covered
with all kinds of debris, which has blown
from TIE tunnel Dead bodies have been
found in every level down to the eleventh
one. Thos, at work therein at the time OF
the explosion Were; Euo,h Thomas, Frank

the glass of many dwellings On investiga.
ton it was learned that powder magazine
had exploded at the little village of Ash
ford, on the line Of the new Croton aque-
duct, a station on the New York City a
Northern railroad. The destruction of
property in the immediate vicinity is large.
No one was hurt. No reason for the ex-
plosion can be ascribed
LATER-Two-hund and fifty pounds of
dynamite was stored in the magazine that
exploded at Ashford Around the magazine
We're the engine and compressor rooms of
the shaft OF the new Croton acqueduct
works at that place, the boarding houses at
which the hands employed on the works

a broker and member OF the New York
cotton exchange, committed suicide Friday
by shooting himself through the heart He
owned several large cotton plantations, and
had made an engagement with bis oyerseer
for meeting at l. O'Clock to discuss bust
Hess At precisely that hour he lay on his
bed, put pistol to his breast and sent a
bullet entirely through his body and the
mattress. Financial embarrassment, caused
by speculation, is assigned as the cause, He
was a son of the late Jerry Beall, millionaire
cotton king, of Millersville, in whose cotton
claims against the government Ben Hill and

paid in the south.

CINCINNATI, Jan 1S-Just before the

COLUMBUS. Ohio, Jan 1s-The select
committee to investigate the alleged corrup
ton in the senatorial election two years ago
sent summons to Washington Friday for
S X Donavin, whose letter brought about
the investigation. While Donavin has oc-
casionally indulged in liquor to excess, it is
but Justice to him to say that he has always
stood well i'll his party. There are no
charges against him here in Ohio. If
his charges are groundless it is the
opinion of majority of the leading Dem
ocrats of Ohio that they can not be dis
pos d of by speaking of Donavin as an out
cast and just out OF an asylum, or ''disap-
pointed oificeseeker' A vast cloud of wit
nesses in addition to those talegraphed
Thursday night will be summoned next
week. They include the names of gentlemen
who, 4 they go before the committee and
tell all they claim TO know, will settle
forever the charges one way or the
other There is intense feeling among
Democrats in all parts of this
state, aud it would fall far short Of the
truth to say that opinion is not pretty
evenly divided among Democrats as to the
trath OF the general base of the charge. Let
ters and kilograms have been received here
from Democrats all over the state, urging
the leading Democrats of the legislature to
make the investi cation thorough and un-
spiIing, TO the end that if these charges,
which have been repeated in one form or
another for two years, are groundless, Sen
ator Payne and the party may be relieved
of them, and if they are true that the party
