THE STATE.
The Spring Elections.


The township elections OH the I'd inst.
passed off very quietly, Notwithstanding
the fact that in many instances three and
four tickets were in the field, and the con-
test very close.
Tho entire republican ticket was elected
at Portland. Mt Clemens went demo-
cratic by usual majority. ST. Clair demo-
cratic. Ithaca Republicans elected entire
ticket except treasurer. Citizens ticket
elected at Cadillac. Howard Citys ticket
is about stand-off. Vicksburg full re-
publican ticket Dowagiac elected q. E..
Bishop mayor, and city ticket except
supervisor. Monroe republicans elected
only three candidates. Out of Is candi-
dates on republican ticket at Sturges IL
were elected. Holly elected all democrats
except constable East Saginaw, Npsi-
lanti Ann Arbor, Jackson, Grand Rapids,
Manistee and other stiles show democrat
ic gains, Prohibition was defeated in
ColdwaJer and Manistee. In so many
places in the state citizens tickets, COM
posed OF the best men of both parties,
were in the field, that the relative
strength of the two leading parties is hard
to determine. In a few places the labor
ticket scored victory. The vote polled
was large.

Benjamin Harris Brewster, attorney
general of the United States during Pres
ident Arthur's administration and during
whose term of office the famous star route
cases were passed to conclusion, died in
Philadelphia on the 9th inst.
BENJAMIN Harris Brewster was born in
Salem county, n. j., October Ii, 1916;
graduated at Princeton college in 1894,
was admitted to the bar in 1887, attorney
general of Pennsylvania from 1861 TO 1869,
and was attorney general of the United
states during the administration of Pres
dent Arthur. He had been twice married,
but was a widower at the time of his
death, his second wife having died about
two years ago. He was a learned lawyer
and ranked among the abest and most
prominent members of his profession in
the country. In his early years, while
rescuing a young lady from fire, he W as
himself SO badly burned that his face was
ever afterward dishgured, and this unfor-
tunate occurrence, while lending ro-
nance TO his life, caused him TO hold aloof
from society for many years; but finally
overcoming this feeling he became n well
come figure in leading circles. He was of
n kindly disposition, firm in his friend
ships, and highly esteemed wherever
known.

In a Missouri Coal Mine.-SiXty Lives
Lost.

Two explosions occurred the other after
noon in the coal mines at Rich Hill, Mo.
100 miles from Kansas City. Sixty men
were entombed, and before dark forty
bodies had been taken from the mine. The
first explosion occurred at L.. 10 p. IN.
killing twenty or thirty men. Supt.
Sweeney and his assistants immediately
began the work of rescuing the injured
miners and up TO 4.30 had succeeded in
saving fifteen men, when q second ex-
plosion occurred, involving Supt. Sweeny
and his aides. The fire was terrific, shoot
ing out from the top of a 27O-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.
1t is probable that all who were in the
mine at the time of the first explosion are
dead. The bravery of Supt. Sweeny al
most cost him his life and is applauded by
everybody. About eighty-five miners
were employed In this mine, and the prob
abilities are that most of them were out.
They are mostly Negroes who came from
Springfield, H., when the mine was opened
less than year ago.

The international council of women, in

ing makes pubic announcement In It fifty
three organizations Of women have been
represented on its platform by eighty
seven speakers and delegates from Eng

Of these organizations bur four are nation.
al in scope and three are OF national value
he subjects OF education, philanthropics
temperance, industries, professions, or
CARNATIONS, legal conditions social purity
political conditions and religion have been
discussed. While no restriction has been
placed upon the fullest expression OF the
most widely divergent views upon these
vital questions OF the day, it is cause FOR
rejoicing that the sessions, both private
and public, have been absolutely without
friction.
Ii Is the unanimous voice of the council
that all institutions of learning and of
professional instruction, including schools
of theology, law and medicine, should in
the interests of humanity be as freely
opened TO women as TO men; that oppor-
tunities for industrial training should be
as generally and as literally provided for
one sex as for the other, and the repre-
sentatives Of organized womanhood in
this council will steadily demand that in
all avocations in which both men and
women engage equal wages shall be paid
for equal work, and, finally, that an en-
lightened society should demand the only
adequate expression OF the high civiliza-
tion which it is its Office to establish and
sonal purity and morality for men and
women.
