FIRE IN The NINE
A Disastrous Termination 10 an
Errand Of Mercy.
Two Men Meet Death While Trying to
save Another - Third Nearly
Dead-Cause of the Fire.

HANCOCK, Mich, April 81. - At 8
O'Clock this morning flames were dis
covered burning from shaft No. 3, of
the North Hancock mine. They were
partly extinguished and Capt. Joseph
Herbert, John Thomas, John
Rowe and Thomas Bell vol
unteered to go through the
smoke that filled the cutting,
IN search of John Williams, a pump
boy. Bell was the last man 10 go down.
As ne reached the ladder he yelled to
the others, Come back, the gas down
there is too thick" There was no
answer, and II was evident that the
three miners had been sutfocated.
Tying a scarf around his head, John
Pentecost went down at once, through
gas that extinguished his lamp. He
found Thomas with his clothing burned
off and his legs frightfully roasted. Rowe
was dead and Herbert nearly so. but
VIII probably recover. Thomas will
hardly live through the night. The
fire IN the lower levels OF the mine did
not entirely die out until this afternoon,
when Williams body was found, 800
feet from the surface, apparently
drowned by foods of water that were
poured in. The fire is supposed to have
been caused by boys entering gas
pocket with lighted candle, although
there are suspicious OF incendiarlsm.

Just itehinx For . Chance - sois Tor
hsary A. KSbiasOa Fer GsssTneE--
he Brushes The Others AstaS
and Utterly Issores esS

troa the DeiTpiI News.
Gen. Innes, once a conspicuous nguTe
IN the councils OF the Greenbaek party,
and formerly, as he IS pleased 70 cal Il,
q Horatlo Seymour Democrat, nnds his
way into Detroit from Grand Rapids
for business reasons oftener than
formerly. He was in town yesterday,
and having heard that Henry A. Rob
inson would probably be run of the
congressional track by W. c. Maybury
he said.
IL think Henry A. Robinson would
make better candidate for Governor
than any man yet metioned. | know
the State and | know the estimation in
which he IS held. Robinson would
make canvass of the State which nc
money could procure. ] am aware that
ne has not got the money 20 pay the
legitimate campaign expenses; bat II
that is an objection IL applies TO Judge
Morse As well. Whatever you do, leave
Judge Morse upon the Supreme Court
bench.
"Yaple's illness makes itimpossible 10
entertain his name; but you might look
TO Judge Wlnans, of Howell or Henry
Chamberlain, OF Three Oaks. Either
of these would make a good candidate.
But, personally, prefer Robinson, as
think hlm the best man."
Whether or not Mr.. Robinson would
fall IN with the notion of taxing nom
nation for Governor rests in the scales
Of doubt just at present, since his mind
seems 10 linger atfectionately upon the
Congressional field.
Learning recently that Maybury was
IN the field with both feet, Nr. Robin
son received the news with ill-grace
and intimated pretty plainly that he
would in that event run stump ticket
against him.
If Mr.. Maybury gets the nomination
for Congress, therefore, and Mr.. Robin
son carries out his threat Of a stump
ticket, it will make an easy walk-over
for. Hibbard Baker, who, in all probs-
bility, will be the Republican nominee.
And If truce is not patched up, reg
ular Democratic dance of death will
come of according to the well known
program.

EX-SENATOR FERRY.
A Chance of His Return 10 Public
Life.

Washington Correspondence Detrdt Journal.
1t would not be surprising if the
whirligig of time should once more
bring ex-senator Ferry back into public
life as the Representative rom the
Fifth district. Ferry spent some time
here a few weeks ago IL securing a
large Appropriation in the River and
HarbOr bill for the improvement Of
Grand Haven harbor, and using his
persuasive elOquence on themembers of
the Senate aud House Public Building
Committee 10 prove 20 them how vitality
necessary it was that Grand Haven
should be given a public building 10
cost 100000. His representations had
so much effect that the Senate prompt
ly passed the bill. and it is now before
the House awaiting action. People
who know Ferry best say that he was
not doing all tins simply for the good
of Grand Haven without considering
what incidental profit might accrue to
him, and that the passage of the River
and Harbor bill with an appIo-
priation Of $4,000 for the i'm
provement Of Grand Haven har-
Dor, and the passage OF the bill tor TIC
public building would be a pretty good
capital on which to start a campaign
for the Congressional nomination.
Owing TO the rather strained relations
existing among Grand Rapids politicians
il : the opinion Of a good many close
observers that the nomination Is not
likely 10 90 to any Grand Rapids nan
and that in that case it Will be Kept cut
of Kent county. No man Is proni-
nentiy mentioned in either Allegan or
Iona counties, so that the nomination
would naturally 20 To Ottawa, ana IN
that case Mr.. Ferry would be a very
available candidate. ! am told that
financially he Is once more on ms feet,
and that a silver mine which he and
his brother own in Utah is paying large
dividends. Fcrry's return 10 Congress
would be a rather interesting episode
in his career, and 10 would place an
other somewhat historical character IN
the lower house.

That Little Tickling

In your throat, which makes you cough
once in a while and keeps you constantly
clearing your throat, arises from catarrh,
and as catarrh is a constitutional disease
the ordinary cough medicines all fail to
hit the spot. What you need is con-
stitutional remedy like Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla. Many people who have taken this
medicine for scrofula, dyspepsia, loss of
appetite, and other troubles, have been
surprised that 1t should cure this trouble
some cough. But to know the actual cause
of the cough IS to solve the mystery. Many
cases of consumption can be traced back
to the neglect of some such slight affection
as this. Consumption can be controlled
in its early stages, and the effect of
Hoods Sarsaparilla in purifying the
blood, building up the general health,
and expelling the scrOfulous faint
which is the cause of catarrh and con-
sumption, has restored to perfect health
many persons on whom this dreaded dis
ease seemed to have a firm hold.
