Five Miners Dragged from a Burning
Mine by Piuely Companions.
wILKEsRARRE, Pa, Jan, 7.--At the Not
tingham mine, in Plymouth, where the dis
astrous caye-in occurred last week, ter
rible accident was averted last evening.
About o'clock a terrific explosion Of gas
took place. There had been heavy fall OF
coal, and this forced the gas toward the
shaft, but on its way II was ignited by the
naked lamps Of the miners and exploded.
The brattice work and timber caught fire at
once and burned fiercely. Five men were
caught between the cave-in and the fire and
all manner OF exit cut Off.
The report spread that the men were
dead, and IN a few minutes hundreds OF
men, women and children gathered at the
mouth Of the slope waiting to see the dead
bodies hoisted out The wives and children

half an hour after the fire broke out JohE

shouts on the other side. Putting thei
hands before their faces they rushed througl

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. IF. A. Davis, a
publisher Of this city, speaking Of the Knif-
fin case in Trenton last evening, said: II
have known DR.. and Mrs Knifiin for ten
years or more, and have been intimately
acquainted with Miss Purcell's family for
over twenty-eight years Miss Purcell is a
cousin Of Mrs. Kniffin, and they have al
ways been very fond Of each other. There
is no foundation whatever for any report of
undue intimacy between DR.. Knifiin and
Miss Purcell, and any person knowing them,
their most intimate friends and relations,
have no such suspicion It would be an inn
possibility for DR.. Kniffin TO go to New
Village and Miss Purcell to come from
there to Trenton without their meeting In
Phillipsburg. Nobody acquainted with the
families believes any insinuations against
DIR. Kniffln and Miss Purcell.

silk. Mr. A. e. knrsheedS Of New York,
manufacturer of silk braids, laces and
oths- notions, spoke in favor Of increasing
the dIty on silk from so to 75 per cent. ad
valorem.
The Sugar Interests Represented.
A number OF sugar cane growers from
Louisiana, among them Ex-Governor War
moth protested against any reduction OF the
tariff on sugar. Representative Peters, OF
Kansas argued that II congress would let
the sugar tariff alone the sorghum industry
would take care OF itself He estimated
that the 100000 pounds Of sorghum sugar
produced In Kansas last year was at a cost
OF from to cents per pound. He wanted
the same protection TO the sorghum industry
that was given TO the steel manufacturers In
Pennsylvania Professor Wiley, OF the
agricultural department, next addressed the
committee The growth Of the sugar in
dustry, he said, was very slow and uncer-
tain at first, but II properly protected it
| grew rapidly All that is required, he said,
is that the farmers raise the beet and the
capitalists erect the factories II this Il
done, the home market will supply the full
sugar demand and there would be some lefl
for expectation.
