Let each of us decide the ques- tion as he thinks best. By attending meetings, and by reading and careful thought. you have doubtless acquired such political information as will enable you to vote wisely November 9th, and will at | the proper time and place exercise unin- tiuenced your political rights.

Maintain the courage of your political convictions, and when the polls close November 9th you will not be ashamed to give reasons for your action. | The clear and emphatic expression of your opinions will in the end compel your em- plovers and friends to think vastly more of you, and will secure for you that de- gree of esteem and respect We all prize So highly.

INVENTOR kEELY IN DISTRESS.


PHILADELPHIA, Nov. la.-The court
OF common pleas this morning made
rule to issue an attachment against
John keely for contempt OF court in
not obeying an order of the court. 1t
also discharged rule 20 open sealed
package which is in the hands of the
court and which i said to contain a
description OF the keeiy motor. Ii
also continued the injunction against
keely until further notice.
The suit by which keely is
thus brought 20 grief is one
instituted in equity by Ben
nett c. Wilson some time ago,
with a view OF determining whether
keely's apparatus corresponded or was
identical with certain motor device
which Keely assigned 10 Wilson in
1879. Under an attachment Keely can
be taken at any time and committed
TO the county jail pending the pleasure
of the court. The attachment, how
ever, was not placed in the sheriffrs
hands to-day. This is regarded as an
indication that the court has no desire
TO infiict the degrading penalty of inn
prisonment on a man whose contempt
simply embodies the advice of counsel,
upon which he acted.

SEEKING THE DEAD
More Than Fifty Men Killed
at Pittsburg. Kan.
IGNORANT MEN FIRE BLASTS,
Tho Rochester Holocaust More Ter
rible rhaa as First Reporssd
A Dozen Killed.

ST. LogIs. Nov. ia special from
Pittsburg, Kan, gives details of the
horrible holocaust in the shaft Of the
Pittsburg & Cherokee Mining Co, last
night The company had more orders
than they could till, and had been run
ming an unusually large force OF
miners Yesterday morning ie4 men
were lowered into the mine. At noon
the shots fired all right, and later
miners descended for afternoon duty.
At $50 they we're ready TO fire shots
again.
The first shot had been fired. but be-
fore the men could be hoisted terri
ble rumbling noise was heard above,
and a black cloud of dirt, slate and
dust shot into the air from the mouth
of the shaft, tearing away the
tracks upon which the cages
were hoisted, and filling the shaft with
debris. The explosion occurred on
the east side and is attributed 10 the
inexperience OF some new men.
Before the men outside could re-
cover their senses miner appeared at
the shaft nearly suffocated. He was
helped out, followed by others. until a
large number escaped-how many is
not known. There was plenty of help
at hand, and those at the top devoted
their attention to rescuing their en-
tombed companions.
The farmhouse. only slightly dam
aged was first repaired. canvas being
tackled over the holes that had been
torn. About IL O'Clock the farmhouse
was ready, and fresh air was pumped
into the mine. driving back the poison
Gus gas and averting suffocation. At
tention was then turned TO repairing
the cribbing SO that the cages could be
lowered.
Men were lowered into the shaft by
rope and bucket, but could ac-
complish nothing. At 2 a. m. the
cage was ready to descend and the first
rescuing party was lowered into the
shaft. Owing to bad air they could
not remain long. On the first return
of the cage it contained a number of
uniniured but badly demoralized men.
The bottom of the shaft was badly
damaged and ii was difficult to get at
the dead. As found they were piled
together at the bottom. while the liv-
ing and badly wounded were hoisted
to the top. At a. NJ. five of them
had been rescued. and at p. IN. four
more were brought out alive. At 2
D. m 25 dead had been recovered, and
nine wounded, with 25 missing, sup
posed TO be dead.
A large number of the killed were
French and Italian miners. A tempo
rary hospital WAS prepared in a black
smith shop near by, where the most
heartrending scenes were witnessed
us the mangled and badly burned men
were carried in. David Tweed and n.
Elwood died soon after being taken
out The casualties are now placed at
50 dead and eight injured.
The principal difficulty in ascertain
ing the names OF the victims lies in
the fact that there were large num-
Der of new men who were not known
to the Pittsburg people, and many
may never be identified.

Latest Returns Indicate Republic
VICTORY.

WHEELING, NoA. i0.-The figures of
thet wo committees are getting very
close together for this state. The
chairman of the Democratic commit
tee claims less than 80 Democratic
majority on Fleming, Democratic
candidate for governor, and thinks
Hubbard. Republican candidate for
attorDey-general, may be elected.
The Republican committee claims
from 80 TO 500 majority on governor.
and thinks the presidential ticket has
also pulled through.
There are still Il counties
either imperfectly or not at
all heard from, and upon these
and possible corrections in others
depends the results. The canvass
seems to be with the Republicans
especially for governor. The Demo
cratic committee have reduced their
estimate of SOL this morning to less
than 800 this evening.
Two Republicans have certainly
been elected in the First aud Fourth
