R-.d. the Rogue

BosroS, November 26-It has been
discovered ina. Reed, late treasurer OF
south Boston Horse Railway Company,
who is now under arrest for the en-
bezzlemert of over 500 ec9, also added
forgery to his crime, the signature OF
President Hersey TO certain certificates
being pronounced forgeries by that gen.
tleman. Hitherto il had been believed
that most Of the stock over-issued by
Reed was issued during the late Presi--
dent CrOsby's administration, and that.
the fraud was made possible BY Mr.
Crosby's habit of signing certificates Ii
blank. It is now STATED, hOweEsr, that
a large proportion of the certificates out
standing, and which are mostly held 9y
brokers as collateral for ma7gins on
stocks, bear President Hersey's sigma
ture. Hersey states that for all oersit-
Gates signed by himself he has a dapli-
cate check, which viii enable aim 10
identity every certificate he has Issued.
Il is Beloved that there aye about $50
shares OF oYer-issued stock outstanding.
The directors have not YET decided
whether or not they VII probably
hold a meeting within week when the
course c. ACTON will be mapped out. It
il learned that the stock of the Mexican.
Telephone Company, OF which Reed
was also treasurer. has been oyer-issued
10 about $q,sCO. Although the par
value of stock is $50 per share. IL is now
quoted at $50, and the loss by over
issue would probably fall little short
of $4,000 M Fn#rr

An ExpIosion of Gas

WILKEsBARRE, November 26.-Shortly
after the miners and laborers entered
Conynghsm's shaft this morning, an ex-
plOsion of gas took place. Between
twenty and thirty miners are said to be
burned and seriously injured, but none
are reported dead. But very little in
formation regarding the accident can
be learned as yet, as the men are still in
the pit, but will he removed as soon as
possible. T1is shaft is known to con
tain considerable gas, and is owned and
operated by the Delaware & Hudson
Company.
An explosion occurred in the shanty
at the foot of the shaft which was occu-
pied by the FIRE boss. No work was
done yesterday, and consequently there
was larger quantity of gas than usual
in the shaft. The men are now being
removed from the pit and taken to
their homes or the hospital. 1t IS
thought all will recover.
WILKEsBARRE, November 26.-Later:
The accident in Conyngham shaft &C.
Cured while the men were getting
ready to work. About fifty men were
sitting at the foot of the shaft await
ing the inside bosses, when the explo-
sion occurred, and only three or four
men escaped without injury. 1t is
known that several, possibly twelve or
fifteen, Will die. The others will be
SCARED and MANNED for life. The
disaster was caused by Cornelius
Royle, q mine laborer, who stepped
into q worked out chamber which WIS
filled with gas with q lighted lamp upon
his hat. Boyle will de Many mules
were killed and wounded, and the
! damage to the inside workings OF the
sloft are great The fire bosses, William
! Williams and William Evans, are
! fatally burned. There is great excite
ment in and about the shaft and full
| knowledge as to the exact number OF
those hurt and the character of the
wounds Of those injured cannot be
obtained.
The explosion was the most serious
! that has occurred in the anthracite coal
fields this year. II is now definitely
known that forty-two men are severely
burned aud others slightly injured.
Twelve OF the men will die of their in
/ iuries. The scene at the col iery, while
the injured men were being taken from
the shaft. was TERRIBLE A crowd OF
several hundred persons had gathered
at the mouth of the shaft, among them
the wives and daughters of the injured
men. AS they were taken out of the
pit, they were brought to the engine
house, and toe women made desperate
efforts TO gain entrance. The frantic
demonstrations of grief were heart
rending, but they were steTnly kept
outside the building. while the black
ened, scorched and b 'eeding, victims oil
the disaster were wrapped in blankets
soaked in oil. The floor of the engine
house was covered with the writing
human forms, so disfgured by the fire
as TO be unrecognizable. As fast as
possible they were taken TO the hospitsl
or their homes, and so rapidly was the
work done, that by 9 O'Clock every one
had been taken out and carried away.

Important Economic Reform in Mex

CITY OF MEXICO, November 26.-Im-
portant economic reform was pro-
claimed to-day. The movement has
been going on for some time for putting
an end to the system of taxation
whereby the States collected the duties
on national and foreign merchandise in
transit through their respective Terri
tories, a system which has been pro-
nounced by railway managers as more
harmful to the Development OF the inte;s
national commerce OF the country than
any other plan that could have been
devised. In MAY last The constitutional
amendment was submitted to the states.
forbidding the imposition OF 7 Insit
duties and import duties on the products
of other states, and on the expectation
OF merchandise OF either manufactured
articles or products OF the soil The
amesd ment also forbids the sta es 10
assign special routes for the convey
ance OF goods Of native origin, as has
heretofore been done; also to put higher
import duty on foreign goods than
will be fixed by federal Law. 1t is ex-
pected that Congress will tx uniform
5 per cent. dd rdlOrem. This amend
ment having been adopted by
majority of the states, was
to-day proclaimed in the usual
form, being read at various points in
the city and copies of it posted on the
walls. The ceremonies took place be
