LoCKHAvEN, Pa, Nov. 4-There was
an explosion last night in the Kettle Greek
Coal company's mine, thirty miles west of

new drift in which twenty one persons
were at work. As soon as possible after
the explosion the mine was entered and
fifteen dead bodies carried out. Four
other men badly injured were found, one
Of whom has since died and the others are
likely to die.
The cause of the explosion is unknown,
but is supposed to have been by the strik-
ing of a fissure or pocket of gas. This
afternoon the disfgured and naked body
of a miner was found fifty feet from the
mouth of the air shaft through which it
had been blown. The names of the dead
so far as learned are: Samuel Killinger.

Daughters of the KING.

CHICAGO, Nov. Am audience most
ly composed Of ladies' completely filled the
auditorium of the First Methodist church
last night to listen to a lecture by Mrs.
Mary Lowe Dickinson of New York.
The subject of the discourse was: THE
Origin and Purposes of the Daughters of
the King Organization Mrs. Dickin-
son is the secretary of the central council
and one of the original founders Of the
new society. Bishop Cheney presided,
and on taking the chair spoke briefly,
highly commencing the new movement.
Mrs. Dickinson said that the organization
which she represented, and which was
known as THE Daughters of the King"
had been started in New York City a
little more than two years ago by ten
ladies. 1t was originally intended that
its work should be done silently and with
out parade. In all there are over SO, 900
Daughters of the King. There are bands
or circles in every country. Every phase
of philanthropic effort which will stay
the progress of sin has its workers. The
different circles are allowed to choose the
work which they think will be the best to
help suffering humanity. A new branch
has now been added to the Daughters of
the King called Sons of the King.

THE letter THAT CAME
Boston Republicans Receive al
Unpleasant Surprise
Prof, Bowen's Letter on Tariff
Reform.
Protective Tariff a Tariff Of
Tyranny.
Prof. Bowen Tor Cleveland


Boston, Nov Prot. Bowen of Har-
ward was asked to write 4 letter to be read
at a Republican rally Friday night,
where Robinson, Lodge, Long, Hoar and
others were to speak. He wrote a letter.
which was not read, but the young Dem
ocrats of harvard took care to have it
printed and distributed. Prot. Bowen
defines his position on the tariff and adds:
| am now, and have been for ten years
or more, a decided advocate of tariff re-
form, civil service reform, and all the
other reforms which are urged by the
opinions is necessary. Still, as OF old, a
staunch Conservative, a Webster Wing,
as in 1850, to my never ending astonish-
ment | now find myself advocating the
election of the Democratic ticket. of
Cleveland and Thurman, of William 4.
! Russell as governor, and the special friend
of the colored race, the fiery radical, the
thorough abolitionist. Col. T. w. Higgin-
son, for congress. [ like not either the
Republican platform, with its silver plank,
or the ambiguous relative position of the
two heads OF the party, its nominal can
didate for the presidency and its chief
ruler and manager. 1t reminds one only
of wicked Sir John Falstaff trying to
escape condign punishment by Disgusting
himself as the fat woman of Brentford.
The petticoat and mutf1er cannot hide the
broad back, the tortuous policy, the greedy
cravings of its real candidate, its up
crowned ruler, James G. Blaine.
Prof. Bowen attacks the present tariff
as tyranny, and not as protection, for the
past ten years, saying: 1T is crushing
our native industries. 1t is taxing nearly
all the necessaries OF life and thereby
driving our native workmen into numer
GUS and riotous attempts to raise the rate
OF wages upon which they can no longer
subsist. 1t taxes the artisan and the
common laborer in his necessary condi-
ments, his daily food, in his clothing,
tools and materials, and this taxation
must be kept up at James G. Blaine's
bidding by the whole Republican party.
in order 20 add a further surplus of about
800, 100000 a year to the many tons OF
gold and silver which are already lying
idle in the national treasury" Prof.
Bowen is a well known writer on politi-
cal economy, and he has opposed Adam
Smith on free trade, Nautilus on popula-
ton and Ricardo on rent. He has writ.
ten many works upon the subject, and his
American Political Economy" published
in 1870, is widely known, as well as an
earlier work, Principles OF Political
Economy Applied to the Conditions, Re-
sources AMI Institutions Of the American

He Kept Them at Bay.

JEFFERsoNvILLE, Ind, Nov. A.
Armed with two shotguns, two revolvers
and unlimited ammunition, old Harrison
Hogan, the terror of this part of the state,
kept two deputy sheriffs at bay for several
hours last Thursday, and according to the
latest reports is still holding his own.
Hogan, who is over 10 years old, has been
at war with the officers of the law for
several years, the trouble originating in a
divorce suit which his wife entered against
him. He has refused to obey the orders,
of the court and defes all efforts to arrest
him. On Thursday last Deputy Sheriffs
Linck and Howell. Disgusting themselves
as hunters, decided to make another at
tempt to capture the old man. They
went to Bull creek, on which stream Ho-
gan has a shanty boat, and ~endeavored to
lure him out by questioning him about
the hunting in the neighbornood. Hogan
was on the alert, however, and when the
officers approached too zeal his floating
castle he opened fire on them with shot
gun and revolver. The deputies returned
the FIRE, and getting behind trees, the
battle ragged until their ammunition was
exhausted, when the officers retreated in
good order, leaving Hogan master of the
field. He declares that he will not be
taken alive, and as the people in that vi
cinity are all afraid of him there is little
likelihood that he will be captured except
by an extended siege.

Joe Howard Horsewhtpped.

New YORK, Nov. There was an
exciting scene in the corridor of the Hof-
man house last night. Joe Howard, the
well known newspaper writer, was walk
ing toward the door of the hotel just as
Duncan B. Harrison entered. A look
of recognition passed between the two
men, and then Mr.. Harrison walked up
to MI. Howard, seized him by the collar,
held him at arms length with one hand,
while with the other he drew from his
overcoat pocket a dog whip and dashed
Howard over the head and shoulders.
When Harrison first seized Howard the
latter removed his eye glasses and made a
pass at his assailant. The blow, however,
was warded off. Mr.. Harrison, who is a
theatrical manager, then administered the
blows quickly with the dog whip. Mr..
Harrison, when questioned about the
matter last evening, declined to say any
more than this; Howard has been
warned of this matter. He was told that
| would whip him on sight, and | did.
He knows what for, and I would do it
again, for he deserves 1t"

Successful wheat Corner"

ST. LOUIS. Nov. "A few days ago
the electric clock was introduced here. 1t
ostensibly gave quotations on stocks and
grain. 1t was operated by a man named
Scruggs, and backed by Dick Roche and
Joe Ullman. Yesterday morning Scruggs
got at the inside OF the clock and fixed up
a wheat corner. Wheat was then 96. A
friend of his who was in the plot stepped
in at this time and bought a big load of
wheat. The cereal went up without a
break until $l.07 was reached, when Ull-
man grew suspicious. He stopped the
deal and paid the man his winnings,
amounting to nearly $1,000. Then the
clock was set going in order to find out
how high wheat would climb. 1t went
right up to SLIT, and Ullman put a de-
tective after the stranger. Meantime the
manager, Scruggs, disappeared, and the
detective soon discovered the swindle.
Warrants were issued for the arrest of
the man. Ullman then and there quit
the clock business, and said that horse
racing was good enough for him hereafter.

THE HOLY MONTH OF MAY.
The Story of Little Mary Who Was
from Her Birth Dedicated to
the Blessed Virgin.
THE LITTLE MISSIONARY.
How Poor Girl Became Converted to
Believe in the Saving Grace o.
tained Through Mary
LITTLE MARY.

Little Mary had been, from her very
birth. dedicated to the Blessed Virgin.
Her innocence and precocious pietY
had ravlshed the heart OF the Queen of
Angels. The mysteries Of the rosary
possessed an irresistible charm for the
pious child. She used to recite tue beads
with an admirable devotson. During
the Christmas season she was a daily
visitor at the Infant Saviour's Crib.
Even the sorrowfuI mysteries were not
beyond her capacity and imitation. On
Good Friday her worthy mother speak
ing to her OF the sufferngs endured by
Christ in His passion, tried to make her
understand that, to initiate our Divine
Redeemer, we should suffer with
patience and sometimes mOrtify olir-
selves. "But, ,na," said the little six
year old Mary, 'tWhat does that mean
to mortify ourselves?" Her nj other hay
ing explained to her the meaning OF
these words, added that our acts OF
modification and self denial should be
spontaneous and seen only by God. That
evening, after her supper, her mother
discovered that Mary had eaten fol sup
per only dry bread and left the cake and
sweetmeats untouched for the love OF
the suffering Redeemer. Being con-
graduated on her self-denlal, Mary said:
e'Slnce YOU have found me out, I'll be
careful not to do so any more On Fri
day." Does not this prove that the little
girl was already fit to become acquainted
with the glorious mysteries? But it is
only with difficulty that rosebud can
be plucked from the stem. Mary's
privileged soul had to be embellisaed by
long and painful suffering. 20 my dear
little Infant Jesus" She would fire.
quently repeat, II offer Thee all my
palms," Then she would request Our
Lady of the Rosary TO bless her. AT
last she died when only six years old.
Thus was that chosen little rosebud
transplanted into the heavenly garden
during the month consecrated to her
whose name she bore, aud to whom she
had beeu dedicated.

Sunday Theatres Condemned.

Before commencing his sermon last
Sunday in the Church Of the Immacu-
late Conception, Father James McGol-
rick uttered a strong protest against
Sunday theaters and the amuselnents
which, he declared. desecrated the Sab.
bath and violated Gods holy law. He
particularly cautioned the Young men
and young women OF his flock against
attending these forbidden places where
impurity and blasphemy are too often
the direct outcome. Instead of going
there he urged them to attend vespers
and the benediction of the most holy
Sacrament. In solemn tones he said:
II warn you in the name of God as
your pastor, Who is responsible for your
immortal souls, that if you go to these
Sunday amusements, you are guilty OF
sin. I call God to witness that l have
done my duty" 1t was mere pre-
tense, he said, to go to church on Sun
day morning to adore God and go to
theatre in the evening to the utter
neglect of the public services OF the
church. Those who attempt to defend
Sunday theatres and games are opposed
to the voice of the church and Catholic
theology. So.called Catholicism France,
Germany and other European countries
are giving great scandal by the unchris-
tian way in which, in cities, they OBJ
serve the Lords day. The great evil
in France prior to the Revolution was
the desecration of the Sabbath by
games and other unlawful amusements
in which the people indulged. lie re-
quested all parents to keep THEFT boys
away from theatres and games where
they learn nothing but blasphemY and
ungodliness.
