ENTOMBED MINERS.
The Fight for the Dead Kept up by the
Living All Night.
All Efforts Prove of No Avail, as the Searching
TartY at Each Attempt are Forced
from the Mines.

DUNBAR, PA, June 17.-All night
long the resouing parties renamed at the
mouth of the manhole Mt Farm Hill
mine, but their efforts were fruitless,
and when daylight broke upon them were
no nearer the unfortunate men entombed
in the burning mine. At o O'Clock last
evening all hopes of rescuing the i'm
prisoned miners alive was abandoned.
Efforts were made to enter the burning
slope through Mshoney & Ferguson s
mines, but they were unsuccessful, and
it was then determined to cut
off all fresh air and let the mine burn it,
self out that the bodies of the men might
be recovered. At the first drift solid
wall of brick, well plastered, was built,
across the opening, material was wheeled
down the entrance to where the men
were at work, and an air fan was set at
work, supplying fresh air to the rescuers.
As worker an Associated Press corre-
spondent was enabled to reach the point
where the men were working. There
was little to be seen. The men were
working like beavers to finish the wall.
The only light was obtained from
"'Davey lamps. - There was no wasting
of breath in idle talk, all the strength of
the men was needed in building the bar
rier. Through the interstic OF the wall
far off to the left could be seen heavy
cloud of smoke, occasionally pierced by
flames Back of this wall of fire lay
the Lodies of the workers relatives and
companions. At 10 o. clock this morning
there was very little change at the mine
exceyt that the fire was fiercer, smoke
| bIackeF and despair of the survivors
deeper than ever before. The fight for
the dead was kept up by the living all
night, but the early gray of morning
only found the rescuing party driven
! farther back from the death chambers
and they could not penetrate within 300
feet of the place where they had reached
| last night.

BOOMERANGS--ALL.


The worst case of razzle-dazzle ever
known in Texas is that now affecting
the anti-comm!ssion crowd. Every
time they make a move they step on
themselves, and then there is another
dull thud. Their first break was an at
tempt to prove that they had bribed

pass which act showed them up in very
upright light, as all can see. Tina +
scheme fell fiat, and there was dull
thud number one. They then reversed
the plan of campaign and next attempted
to show that Gen. Hogg had attempted
to bribe them, by off erlng to sell them
some land. But fear of wooden horse'
we suppose and timeo DaaaOs dond JerenteS
came to the rescue, and their virtue was
saved. But as Offering to sell man
piece of land is not considered in thess
days of unprecedented land speculation
as a very atrocious act of bribery, that

there you are dull thud number two.
We are now waiting to catch the first
faint echoes waited to us by southern
breezes of d. t. number three.

TIE liExICAN Presidency.

The Mexican congress has lately
adopted an amendment to the constitu-
ton, providing for the reelection of an
incumbent to the presidency. TO be sure
the amendment is directly in the interest
of President DiaZ, and may be regarded
as an intimation of his purpose to remain
if possible at the head of the govern
ment during his natural life. The amend
meut will have to be adopted by the diff
ferent states of the republic to make il
regal and binding, but that is regarded
as only Formally, as none of them are
disposed to be rebellious against the CEN
tral authority, whose power they well
know. While Diaz has made a fairly
good executive for Mexico, still the
amendment is a manifestation of one
man-power, strangely out Of consonance
with republican institutions. The fact
that in this country the tendency is In the
other direction, namely, 10 single
term, is proof enough that the Mexican
republic is such only in name.

Escaped the Editor's Eye.


The Post could not, and would not
under any sort of circumstances. approve
the methods involved in the telegram
sent out from Chicago and printed in
these columns yesterday morning rela-
tive to ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Hogg and his
dealings as a member of the capitol
building board with the capitol oontrao-
tors. With the statements made by Mr..
Abner Taylor and others THE Post has
nothing in common; with the facts al
legged it is entirely unacquainted, but the
Post cannot approve the animus and evil
dent intent of the article. 1t is unfair,
and, in all probability, unjust. The
Post is opposed TO MI. Hogg in his can
didaey for governor, but cannot reconcile
it with its ideas of fairness and common
Justice TO fight him in this manner. Only
those intimately acquainted with the in
side workings of morning newspaper
office can appreciate the difficulty enc

MONA CAIRD, S LATEST.

In the current number of the North
American is q paper from Mona Card
writer responsible for having projected
upon the world of scribblers the question,
''Is Marriage a Failuref'' In the article,
1.-THE Emancipation of the Family,
there is drawn from various sources evil
dence tending to show that much the
world is wont to consider as of natures
eternal ordainment, and universal in all
periods of human society did not always
exist, aud that which is unhesitatinglY
pronounced unnatural existed and still
does with equal claim TO inherency. In
stancing this by reeounting prevailing
customs in tribes where the wife AMI the
mother-in law are heads Of the family,
often the children taking their mothers
name as a family title, and the younger
sen the representative and heir apparent.
More than this, acts that moderns term
vicious have in different periods and in
various parts of the world been rated as
virtues. In word 60 totally has been
the reversal that in reading the article it
is easy to question whether instinct as q
regulator has any place in the social
economy.
The trend of the article seems TO 81 IN
the direction of belief that "human

AN ONYX TRUST.
A Popular Stona for House interior Decora-
lions to be Controlled by Syn dIcate-
The Price to be Decreased

Special to the Gazette.
NEW YORK, June l7.-Auother trust
was formed to-day. Onyx, beautifully
colored stone, that suddenly became a
most popular material for interior dec
Grafton of houses, is to be controlled by
syndicate of capitalists. All variegated
onyx in use to-day comes from Mexico,
and five properties where mineral
is found has been absorbed, and
the whole business in the
future will be a monopoly. The Next
eau onyx company organized to-day.
The capital is placed at 81 500 900, but
the amount of money back of the enter
prise is much larger than this. A syn
dictate of Western men who control the
United States national bank
of Chicago and number of
other banks throughout the West
are interested in the company.
Within the last few years the famous
ONYX mines of Oberstsin, Germany, be-
! came exhausted, and those of Mexico
have been the only source of supply for
| coIored stones. Heretofore Mexican
mines, which are located in the state of
| Pueblo, between the City of Mexico and
Vera Cruz, have been worked by In
| dians. The stone was carried over the
| mountains on OK carts. These private
methods made onyx expensive. 1t is the
| intention not to increase the price of
ONYX, but to reduce the price by mining
with improved facilities and bring
| ing it to the market by
| cheaper means. The TRANSFORMATION
| company will have its own vessels to ply
between New York and Vera Cruz, and
between the latter city and Havre Ham
burg, Liverpool and other sea ports,
Yards of the company will be established
in the principal cities of the world i,
Davis said the company was not trust
and not a monopoly in the accepted
sense of the word. No mines would be
frozen out, no interest ruined, but every
one owning onyx interest will be benefited
and people would get onox at low price
| compared to the past. ,.s..rys
