were entombed. and before DARK forty
bodies had been taken from the mine. The
first explosion occurred at l2.lJ y. m.
killing twenty or thirty men. Supt.
Sweeney and his assistants Immediately
began the work Of rescung the IN iured
miners and up TO 40 bad succeeded in
saving fifteen men, when a second eX-
plosion occurred. involving Supt. Sweeny
and his aides. The fire was terrific. shoot
ing out from the top of a +70-foot shaft like
a furnace.
Further effort to save miners was hope
less and as hundreds OF men, women and
children gathered around the burning
shaft the scene became heart-rendIng In the
extreme.
II is probable that all who were in the
mine at the time of the first explosion are
dead. The bravery of Supt. Sweenv al

WHERE THE BURDEN LIES.

In his recent speech, illustrating
the burden placed upon the farmer
by the present tariff Mr.. Turner
made use of the following plain state
ment of facts. He said
when the farmer rises from his
bed IN the morning he puts on his
common flannel shirt, taxed 90 per
cent; his coat, taxed 81 per cent !:
his shoes, taxed IS per cent; and hat,
taxed % per cent; and washes his
face and hands in tin bowl, taxed
81 per cent; dries them on a cheap
cotton towel, taxed ID per cent. He
sits down to his humble meal and
eats from plate, taxed 50 per cent !;
with a knife and fork, taxed 30 per
cent; drinks his coffee with sugar,
taxed 6S per cent seasons his food
with salt, taxed SO per cent; pepper,
taxed 81 per cent. He looks round
to his wife and children all taxed in
the same way and even the sunlight
from heaven that pours into his
dwelling must come through window
glasses, taxed IS per cent and yet
he thinks he lives in the freest gov
eminent under heaven. Then he
starts to work; puts on his bride,
taxed 30 per cent, on his horse, end
takes his horse that has been shod-
the nails used in shoeing being taxed
% per cent, driven by IA hammer
taxed 10 per cent, and bitches him
to a pillow taxed 20 per cent; chains,
taxed 90 per cent; and after the
days labor is closed and his family
are all gathered around he reads a
chqRteF rrom his Bible taxed % per
cent. and kneels to pray on humble
carpet taxed 81 per cent; and then
he rests his weary limbs on sheet,
tnXed 10 per cent. ana covers himself
with blanket that has paid l04 per
cent Nor do the grasping mapusac-
turers stop here but even the broom
with winch his good wife sweeps the
floor is taxed IS per cent. and the
cooking vessels used in preparing her
husbands frugal meals arc taxed ~
per aea. and the soda used to tighten
his bread, taxed 30 per cent. Then
she sits down to her sewing with a
needle taxed % per cent, and spool
OF thread, taxed ~ per cent, to make
4 calico dress, taxed 5S per cent; or
il she wishes to knit warm socks to
protect her husband and children
from the bitter cold, she uses yarn
