BURIED IN a MINE

BUTTE, Mont, June 4-There was a
cave-in at the St Lawrence copper mine,
yesterday, when all of the men but four
had come to the surface. The men are
now at work digging through the cave en-
deavoring to rescue the entombed men,
two Of whom can be heard distinctly
hammering at the wall. Those missing
are Pat Murphy, Con Harrington and two
men who had just gone to work Yesterday
III no fresh cave occurs two of the men
viii be rescued. The cave commenced on
5O0-feet level and did not stop until it had
gone TO 200-foot level and about 200 feet
in length. The mine is one of the largest
mines in the city and employed 600 men.
No ore can be hoiSted for some time and
it will stop production of l POO tons of cop
per ore per day.
The rescuing party were within twelve
feet Of the entombed men early this
morning, and by signals it was learned

fused to vote. As no quorum could be Sc
cured Mr. Mills withdrew his resolution.
He then moved that debate on the
pending paragraph in the tariff bill
be limited to ten minutes. Mr. Mckinley
and Reed both demanded as a parliament
airy inquiry to be informed whether it was
not in order to suspend the rules and set
apart days for general pension legislation.
The speaker pro tenn (AIr. Mcmillan, of
TENNESSEE replied that the regular order
was Mr.. Mills motion. The house was in
an uproar, the Democrats demanding the
regular order, Mr.. Reed persisting in his
inquiry and the speaker pro TEN, refusing
to countenonce further interruption, put
Mr.. Mills' motion. The slate showed no
quorum and the yeas and nays resulted
the same way-so the call of the house was
ordered. Members to the number OF
twenty-five having responded, Mr.. Mills
Withdrew his motion to limit the debate
and simply asked that the house go into
committee of the whole on the tariff bill
but the Republicans, hoping to make an
opportunity for the pension bill, persisted
in their refusal to vote and an other roll
call was ordered on the motion to go into
committee. On this vote III Democrats
responded. No quorum and Mr.. Mills
moved to adjourn, which prevailed and the
The Republican members of the house
explain their action in breaking a quorum
in the house today by the statement that
the day was, under the regular order, set
apart for motions to suspend the rules and
pass measures called up by individuals.
In preparation for such an order Repre-
sentative Morrill,, of Kansas, had made
ready to move to pass the senate depend
ent pension bill. Had the Dem
ocrats seen fit to dispense with
suspension day. and proceed with the
tariff there would have been no opposition,
but the burden of complaint among the
Republicans is that after Mr.. Mills had
recognized the character of the day by his
motion to suspend the rules and pass
his resolution setting apart certain
evening sessions for action upon commit
tee reports, the parliamentary usages and
were violated by the re-
fusal of the speaker pro tenn. to
recognize a member on the Republican
side to make suspensory motion. There
fore, they refused to take up the tariff bill.
The apparent explanation OF the course
pursued by the Democratic side is that the
on rules wished to make oppor-
tunity for the legislative business other
than the tariff bill, but report fixing
dates, if presented in the house would be
open to amendment in an Objectionable
way. Therefore Mr.. Mills pursued the
plan of moving the report in the shape of
a resolution on suspension day when it
could not be amended under the rules.

NEW YORK, June 4-One spring morn,

hear that such a crime had been committed
in the former state, within fifty miles OF
this city, as it was supposed could hardly
occur in a law abiding eastern community.

frequently called Mingo Jack, because he
used TO attend Il trotting horse by that
name, had been lynched in an autrocious
manner at Eatontown. because there was
a good deal OF reason TO believe he had as
saulted Angeline Herbert, q white girl. The
negro protested his innocence to the last.
and in most heartrendinC manner i'm
plOred his asSassinS 10 spare him. Now
comes an appalling story in the shape of
confession from the real criminal that

sworn statement to the officials on Satltr-

who assaulted Miss Herbert.

R0CKDALE. Tex, June "A most horri-
flying calamity has befallen Rockdale.
This morning about o'clock the Mundine
hotel, three-story brick building, was
found to be on fire and was quickly all
ablaze. Inside were thirteen persons,
only two of whom escaped alive.
Dr.. ". A. Brooks, the proprietor,
was pulled out of the burning build
ing with his hair and beard singed
off and otherwise badly burned, leaving
behind his wife and four children, who
persisted. Pemberton Pierce, representing
the firm of George II. Serler, of Philadel-
phia, jumped from the burning building
and was killed. D. NJ. Oldham, of Dallas,
representing the firm of F. Cannon & Co.,
of Galveston, escaped badly singed. The
mystery IS that SO many should have per-
ished when none were higher
up than the second story and there
were galleries and exits on both sides
of the building occupied by the sleepers.
No one was heard to call or scream. all
dying without cry for help, though a
great crowd quickly gathered, and ex-
hausted every effort to afford a rescue.
The remains of several have been recov-
ered from the RUNS, but they are unrecog-
nizable. Mr.. Pierce is the only non-resi-
dent victim. The pecuniary loss is about
$4,000.
Those known to have been lost are: Mrs.
". A. Brooks, wife of the proprietor. and
her TOUR sons, aged 4, &, 9 and 10 years re-

HENRY b. YAEEOw.
NAT this hour it is reported that
there is no change in General Sheridan S
condition.
General Sheridan is now lying weak and
exhausted and in a cOmatose condition.
He has only rallied very feebly from
the attack which nearly caused his
death. The hemorrhage which caused
the attack of heart failure, came from
the lungs, but was not accompanied by
coughing The blood emitted WAS dark
and thickly clotted. a recurrence of the
heart failure followed closely upon the
hemorrhage The pulse beat feebly and
still more feebly, the breathing grew eX-
ceedingly labOred and heavy and the sick
mans face assumed a blush tinge. His
heart ceased to beat for few seconds and
the anxious doctors bending over HIM
thought that ali was over. Prior
TO this time, however, eXtraordin-
airy measures had been taken
to prevent or lessen the attack which the
physicians knew was coming and the
symptom. when it seemed that life was at
a end, slowly and weakly responded to
tle treatment administered and gradu
ally slight rally took place. A galvanic
battery was applied to the neck and head
aud at last the patient was brought from
the verge of the grave to OnsciOuSneSS
again. He lay back exhausted.
1t was the worst of all the attacks and
the patient being weaker than at any
other tine, rallied less readily and more
feebly t6the treatment. He is extremely
We ak, but at times his mind is clear,
thou n the intervals OF consciousness are
followed by others during which he appears
to only slightly realize what is going on
around him. He does not talk at all, and
the doctors ever since his lungs became af-
fected have done all in their power to dis
suade him from using his voice. 1t has
teen partly for this reason that the child
rem have very seldom been allowed in the
sick chamber. No persons are allowed to
see the General except his family and
the physicians and nurse. Mrs. Sher-
idaR remains constantly at his side,
while Richard his valet for many
years, and devotedly attached to him, is
also at hand ready to minister to his
slightest wish. I'll of the doctors are
present and the Sister of Charity, who
has been in almost cOnstantsiattendance
