A SCORE DEAD.

Nineteen Bodies Recovered from tnA
Mine ut Ashley Pa.-One of the Rescued
Mon Dies Of His Injuries.
WILKEsBARRE, Pa, May II. - The
work of attempting to rescue the i'm
prisoned miners at Ashley was inter-
rupted by a heavy rush of gas at 3
o'clock yesterday morning. At o'clock
it was deemed safe to resume the efforts
to rescue the men. A large, party
of rescuers entered the slope
and commenced work upon the cave,
beyond which three men were found
Thursday night. They soon broke
through and rushed into the chamber
beyond, where, in the semi-darlz-
ness, the men stumbled over
yielding bodies. A close search re-
vealed six blackened corpses near the
opening, none of them recognizable.
Further along at various places were
found thirteen other bodies. all more
or less burned, but most Of them could
not be recognized. The sight was so
horrible that two or three of the rescuers
tainted away.
Allen, the assistant fire boss who fired
the gas, died yesterday morning in
great agony. His face and hands
were but slightly burned, but he
had inhaled fatal after-damp. Anthony
Froyne and Robert w. Roberts, the
men rescued Thursday night, are in
critical condition. 1t is believed that
they will slso die. General Superin-
tendent Phillips, in an interview with
an Associated Press reporter, says:
1.-THE men lost their lives through the negli.
gence Of Assistant Mine Boss Allen, who in.
sisted on relighting his lamp in the
presence Of large volumes Of gas. Had
he not done so, the men now
dead could all have been rescued alive, az
there was good current Of air going through
the chamber where the men had taken refuge
after the cave-in had taken place."

Sweeping Decision Of u Judge RsrardIns
Newspaper Publications.
The libel suit for $4,000, brought by
Attorney Albert Knettle, of Mime
apolis, against the Pioneer Press, was
thrown out of court by Judge Hicks the
other morning. The libel alleged was
the pu blication OF some remarks by At
torney Dan Lawler, of St. Paul, made
before the board of fire commissioners.
1t was questioned whether newspaper
has the right to publish statement or a
question when that statement is libel
Gus in itself, even though the publica-
ton OF 1t be actuated by no malice.
Judge Hicks decides that it has such
right, and that the fact of the matter
being privileged exempts the news
paper from suit or that the paper can
not be compelled to rest its case on the
truth OF the privileged publication.

COLUMBIA, Tex, May 1.-THE condi-

extreme. The river has risen steadily
for two weeks or more, until it has
overflowed the community. The
first floors of the residences are
submerged, the occupants being driven
into the upper stories. From one
stored cottages residents have been
compelled to move to the homes of hos
pitable neighbors. The waters are
still rising. There is not 1000
square feet in Columbia out of

are closed and the people 60 every

which has perhaps never been enacted
before in Texas, was presented at the
funeral of the late General Duff. A large

the entire Masonic fraternity, followed
the corpse to the cemetery, two miles
from town, in boats. There were
forty-six boats in the procession, with
an average of Ave occupants in each.
For thirtwo years, from 1858 to 1885,
there had been no overflow in the
