soRROWFUL SCENE.
Five Miners Imprisoned in a Burning
Coal Mine.

Five Miners Imprisoned in Burning
Coal Mine.
WILEEsBARRE (Pa), January 6th.-At
the Nottingham mine in Plymouth this
evening, where the cave occurred last
week, terrific explosion of gas occurred.
The brattice work and timbers at once
caught fire and burned furiously.
Five men were caught between the cave
in and the fire and their exit cut off,
The report spread and in few minutes
100 men, women and children gathered at
the mouth of the stope. The wives and
children of the imprisoned men lost all
control of themselves and sorroWful scenes
were witnessed.
About half an hour after the fire broke
out John Humphreys and John Richards
were lowered into the mine and when they
reached the fire they heard the cries and
Shouts Of the men on the other side. Put
ting their hands before their faces they
rushed through the fire and dragged the
five imprisoned men out one by one unin-
jured.
Thomas Richards, who was in another
part of the mine, was fatally burned.
Water is coming through near where the
cave-in occurred last week, and the miners
fear the river may break into the mine.
Should this happen, many miners would
be drowned beyond hope of reclaiming
them, and all operations woud have to be
suspended

his Letter to Congress Regarding the
San Francisco Pestofiice-
( WASHINGTON, January 6th-The follow
ing letter has been sent to the Speaker OF
the House of Representatives: "Sir-I
have the honor TO invite the attention OF
Congress to the Act of March 3, 1887 ga
Stat, p. 500), authorizing the purchase OF a
site for building for d Postoffice, Court
house and other offices in San Francisco,
Cal, and limiting the cost thereof to $780,
coo, which sum was appropriated by that
Act, aud to the Act of January 81. 1889 (25
Stat p. 853), increasing the limit of the cost
OF the site for the building. Under the
present limit, ar additional estimate OF
$3.50, 0,0e0was submitted to Congress in the
book of estimates for 1891, page 14S, but as
this sum is regarded as a deficiency created
by increasing the limit of the cost of the
site over the sum of $350.000 appropriated
by the Act of March 3, 1887, l would re-
quest that the estimate of $3.50 900 referred
to be provided for in an early deficiency
bill. Respectfully yours,

NICARAGUA CANAL,

Greytown Harbor is to be Made the At
lantic Terminus.
NEW YORK, January 6th.-The steamship
Hondo of the Honduras and Central Amer.
ican line from Grey town brings the latest
news from the American canal diggers at
Nicaragua. The people, it appears, realiz-
ing the great magnitude of their enterprise
are proceeding very quietly, and in conse-
quence the manner of contracts and SUBJ
contracts, with their detailed specification,
are being very carefully and thoroughly
prepared.
The recent change CT the location of the
Atlantic terminus of the canal has solved
the problem of Greytown harbor, which
will be made one of the best harbors on the
coast, and a breakwater for its protection
has already been commenced.
1t looks now as though the entire work
will probably be divided into three divis-
ions. The contract for one division, it is
understood. will go to a strong California
syndicate.
The health of the entire party of Ameri-
cans is satisfactory, and everything that can
possibly be done to push the work is done
in a steady and thorough manner.

held a session during recess, Speaker Reed,

THOSE democrats who are urging tn 6
 republicans to modify the tarlff prIn- ciples; abandon protection and the el- ection reform bill are talking to stone ears. The tariff bill was adopted after due deliberation, and consultation with
 the leading men of the country. If there has been any vote against 1t, 1t has come from a lack of understanding. The tariff bill was promulgated as the hon
 est convictions of the party and the party will stand by it from now to per dition. unless the operation of the law shows some defects which will then be amended. The republican party does not shift sail to catch every spasomdic breeze. It's work is the result of deep conviction, and such a party shines
 more grandly in defeat than in victory
 It requires no courage to drift with every popular fallacy. No strength is
 necessary to go with every wind that
 blows. But it does require courage and strength and bravery to stand by your principles against fanatical odds; against the mislelid and purblind majority; and with the knowledge that though right through misrepresentation your attitude is misunderstood and you must fall.
 The principles of protection to the dome and fireside and country; of human liberty ana equality of man whether he be white or wear the 'shadowed livery of the furnished sum; of equal handed justice to all are eternal. To them the grand old party clings through victory and disast- | CT. It is a sheet anchor-it is like the | shadow of a great rock in a desert land | to the weary traveller. The waves of popular sentiment, and sometimes pred | judice may ebb and flow. She stands fixed and immovable.

CHARLES STUART PARNELL.

Mr. Parnell seems to have adopted the
 mott oof Matt Quay that silence is
 sometimes golden. It may turn out in
 his case as it did Mir. Quays to be pew
 ter. Very damaging evidence was pro
 duced against the Irish leader. It is
 proven that he had under guise of
 friendship for Capt O'Shea debauched
 his.wife;that he.had masqueraded about
 London under fictitious names and at
 times when his counsels were in great
 need, he had hied away to his lady's
 oower-or Capt. O'Shea's lady-where he remained for days and weeks at
 time. It was likewise introduced in evidence that a number Of children
 Were born as the fruit of this irregular system, and to all of these there has been no denial. There may be one chance in thousand,yet, that Parnell is innocent. America in general will trust there IS. He has been their ad- , miration as he was the Irish i;iol. If however the charges are true he will be | obliged to relinquish the head of his | party. The puritan element of which l Gladstone is the lead will not ally with | one who in their eyes IS smirched and | blackened. History shows the inevita- ole result of such exposures. Admirable Nelson was seriously crippled by the same conduct. Lord Melbourne and Mrs. Norton never retrieved their for mer reputation. Sir Charles Dilkie is today under a ban for a disgraceful laison which occurred in the recent memory of our readers. And Chars Stuart Parnell great as he is and strong in the hearts of his countrymen cannot hope to ride rough Ishod over. customs and morals more firmly established than Irish principles.
 The outcome tears aside the yelled slamor from our heroes and idols whom | we like to feel are better clay and stern sr stuff and higher mould. They are human after all and very undignifedly human.

TEE record of running and of trotting horses were reduced the past year. Breeders and sporting men contend that this reduction of time is the result of the development of equine powers by judicious breeding and training. Doubt less this has had considerable to do in increasing speed. but it is not likely that it entirely accounts for 'breaking the record" of all previous times. Race tracks have been very greatly improved since the time the old Fashion Course" in Long Island witnessed the performances of Ten Broeck. Only re- gently have race tracks been constructed at a cost slO,OO0 per mile. Then no person was paid 5000 year to train and take care of horse. Then jockey was not better known throughout the country than a senator. Then the shoe ing of race horses was not included among the fine arts.

ONE thing which the coming legisla- ture can do with credit to itself and that is to take such action as will assist the National Guard of Arizona to a thorough and creditable organization. The guard has been neglected and this is the only territory which has not received it's prorato of the S600,000 al lowed by congress for the militia. A well organized militia in the territory would be of especial benefit. It would give confidence to eastern homeseekers who hare the impression now that in the wilds of Arizona every man is liable to be fricaseed for breakfast. At thls this time we understand there are nine companies organized representing force of some 400 men. The appropria- ton should be made for them by all means. IL is Gn important matter.

BRITISH rule in India has resulted in
 some good. It has abolished the GUS
 tom of burning widows alive on the fun
 eral pyres of their husbands except in a
 few places not often visited by the authorities. It has also put a stop to the custom of offering up female infants to the spirits of tine waters. The Gan gas no .nger bears their bodies to the ocean, The introduction of railways has done much toward abolishing caste distinctions. The members of the diff erent castes are now obliged to touch each other in railway ticket offices and they often occupy the same compart ments in railway carriages. They are often obliged to drink from the game cup or go without water, which Is very hard to do in a country where the eli mate provOkes thirst. It has not, how ever, accomplished muoh in changing the religious ideas Of the people. Chris tiani,y has made but little progress in India since it has been under British rule.
