ALL HOPE ABANDONED.

WLKEsBARRE. Pa. March All
hope of saving the seven miners en-
tOmbed in the Stanton shaft has been
abandoned, and tonight the mine
is being flooded. The damage to
the property will be very great. The
fire has extended 700 feet from its point
of origin at last report. The rescuing
parry that went down the shaft this
morning after the miners shut
in by the fire returned short
Iy after o'clock without
making any new discovery. They ad-

reached early this morning. and came
to point from which they could see the
light of the blazing tunnel. but could
proceed no further. Along the way
they made careful search for any trace
of the missing men, but without avail.
After the return of the searching party
Inspector Williams and SUPP. MORGAN,

liery for a private investigation. They
were supplied with lamps, and had
every means of communicating from
the subterranean chambers to the sur

Parties from this city and Mitchell to-
day located another townsite opposite
here on the Sioux reservation. 1t is Sit
uated about three miles north of the
town from which the boomers were
driven by United States trOaps short
time ago. The stage line from the Mis-
souri, to Rapid city will have head
quarters at the new town, which has
been named Lyman. The boomers
claim many other advantages that will
be sure to make their town good one,
but they will probably never secure a
railroad, as the Chicago. Milwaukee &
st. Paul railway will cross three miles
below, where the first town was located.
Considerably rivalry will exist between
the friends of the two towns, both
claiming that they will have the best
town. The boomers who " ire driven
from their townsite are still negOtiat-

may take several months of bargaining
to do it, but the land will finally be

Bishop, a Mexican war veteran and
pensioner about eighty years old, was
arrested here to-day, on suspicion of
having murdered his wife. Bishop had
been drinking pretty hard for several

wife and threatening to kill her. This
morning the woman was found dead in
her bed with her face almost pounded
to to the police station and gave notice

and when he returned home this morn
ing and found her dead went to the
station in person in order to ward sus-
pieiOn from himself.

gallon, quart, pint, one-half pint and
gill bottles of whiskey, place these

of their bar-rooms and sell to any per-
son who wishes to buy. Kansas City
and the state of Missouri are absolutely
powerless to interfere in any manner
with the sale of these original pack
ages" by the men who imported them
from the state of Illinois into that city.
He pays no license and no restrictions
can be imposed upon him because each
of these gill bottles of whiskey is by
this decision dignified by the title of
an ''article of commerce between the
states" The rum seller of Illinois will
import his ''original packages" from
the state of Missouri and sell to the
Sucker, in the same manner, and the
state Of Illinois cannot interfere, be-
cause he is simply selling an "article
of commerce" between the two states.
All saloons will be run on this princi-
pie. 1t is much cheaper than paying
license, and it is absolutely free from
police regulations.
1t seems that the map who would
rejoice at such decision as this by the
supreme court of the United States
must be in favor of the unrestricted
sale of intoxicating liquor. We do not
believe that the people of this country
will long tolerate such con-
dition of affairs. With all the restric-
tons which the people have been able
to place upon the sale of Intoxicating
liquors, the saloons are still the source
of the greatest evil in the country; ami
there is no political party il existence
or that can be brought into existence,
that can afford to champion the I'M
restricted sale of Intoxicating liquors,
yet this is the Interpretation Of the
decision as reported in the dispatches.
If there is no saving clause in this
decision there will be such an uprisin
among the people during the next six
months, as will compel congress to
enact some law by which the people
can control the sale of liquor. While
we do not apprehend that there will be
any such sweeping away of all the
safeguards of the prohibitOry and
license laws as the decision imports,
yet if such is the case it will sOlidify
every opposition to the rum power in
America. And as the ''Dred Scott de-
cision" in 1857 solidified all opposition
to slavery and brought about the ulti-
mate emancipation of the African race
in this country, so will this decision in
favor of the rum power solidify all OPP
position to the saloons, and may result
in a national prohibitory law.
