The good people who laid out P.latka.
years ago, never dad an idea that the
then little vi:ia.- would spring up and
grow into large aud populous city. and
so they left many things undone which
should have had their attention, and no
doubt had they thought Palatka would
have reached her present stage of pros
perity they would have provided in the
plan Of the town accordingly.
1t IS well known fact that the CITY
has no outlet to t. e river from any of
her streets in the business part Of the
city, and whatever benefits the CITY de-
riyes from the river is at the expense of
the riparian rights OF individuals. The
entire river front is private property, and
If the owners are 50 willed they can
shut the public out from the river at anv
time. There are many reasons why this
state of affairs should not exist. for il is
TO the business interests of the city that
there should be one or more avenues TO
the river from the streets.
There Is now an excellent Opportunity
afforded the city to extend Lemon street
to the water. at present, Lemon street
only extends to the east side of Water

The material development Of the

and personal property of the county for
1884 was two millions and half dollars,
for the year 1885 three and half mil

year 1sS6 it will approximate four mil

His TRADE of abuse was then directed
toward some of the members of the
Circleville corps, which was met with grOans
and Kisses, but all to no purpose He kept
up until the members would stand 1t no

his senses by some one hallOoing, Hang

this, and a number rushed toward the stage,

GRAFTON. w. Va, Jan. 21.-The most
disastrous mine explosion ever known in the
annals of West Virginia mining occurred at
Newburg this afternoon. in the shaft Of the
Newburg Orrel Coal company at that point.
The shaft is 3s5 feet deep. at the bottom of
which thirty miners-men and boys
were at work in the different gangways
and chambers. AT 2:45 p. IN, without a
moments warning. terrific explosion oc-
CURED, dealing death and destruction in its
vicinity The shock of the explosion was
felt throughout the village. and at once
created panic among its citizens, especially
among those who had relatives employed in
the mine. A large crowd of people quickly
gathered around the mouth of the shaft all
anxious to succor the entombed men.
Several attempts were made 10 descend be-
fore a successful entrance could be made.
Finally Mr.. Riley Metz, accompanied by
two other miners, entered the shaft and
reached the heading, i'm which the explO-
sion took place, but were prevented from
going further by the debris, which chOked
up the little drift. They were unable TO
discover anything but the shattered tim
bers of the mine which were strewn in
every direction. Several subsequent at
tempts were fruitleSs, owing to the preva-
lence of black damp. which precluded the
possibility of working i'm the mine. The
following are the names of the unfortunate
persons, whose fate is not known, and can
only be surmised:

- 1t is feared that all of them were in

being made tonight to reach them. but it
is feared they cannot be reached before to-
morrow or later. The scenes about the shaft
and throughout the town in the homes of
the imprisoned miners are heartrending. IL
is the general opinion among experienced
miners that none of the men in the mine
could have survived such a terrible eXplo-
sion, and that they are all dead. There

The Views of Patrick Egan and Ex-

SOhR
CHICAGO, Jan. 21.-Patrick Egan, presi-
dent of the Irish National league, was in
terviewed this afternoon regarding that
portion of the queens speech which touches
upon the Irish question.
''Pronunciamentos of that kind" he said.
'meah nothing. 1t is always the rule in
royal speeches to utilize language that will
conceal ideas rather than express them. Her
majesty says nothing new. We ali know of
her dislike to home rule movements. Tue
situation is such that. no matter what she
NAV say, parliament will be compelled TO deal
with the home rule question and grant il 10
Ireland. Her reference 10 coercion is also
vague, and will not lead to any material re-
suits in Ireland. From experience we know
that pronunciamentos of that kind precede
surrender. We know that this, our national
movement, upholds the key to the position,
and we are ell quite confident as to the
result
Under this menace" said ex-Congressman
John Finerty after the queens speech. 1.-The
Irish people must make up their minds 10
meet the crisis with the courage displayed by
American colonists in dealing with the
queens grandfather, George III. The queen
OF England has personal
GRUDGE AGAINST IRELAND
because Dublin refused q site for statue of
her husband, the late Prince Albert, who
once said of Irish that they ought TO live on
grass, ana deserved no more sympathy than
roles. The speech seals the fate of the Sails
bury ministry, and then should Mr.. Glad
stone, on returning TO power, refuse to meet
irish demands in fair spirit, no course will
be left to ireland to obtain her rights but TO
resort to first principles-ln other words. she
viii be compelled TO make physical sacrifices
that have been made by all other people in
similar circumstances. Whatever method
1t will be is simply question of national re-
sources. III she cannot meet England inside
the rules of war, she will meet her outside of
these rules, and she cannot be blamed if the
increasing brutality of England forces her to
adopt system of warfare not laid down in
English military textbooks, but which are
nevertheless always practiced by English
armies when they invade the domains of weak
