DEADLY FIRE DAMP,
Appalling Loss of Life by an
Explosion in a Col
liery.

Sixty Dead Bodies Have Al

LONDON, Feb. 6.-An explosion oo>
Cured to-day in a cOlliery at Aber.
sychan, in Monmouthshire, ten miles
northwest of Newport. Between three
and four hundred miners were impris-
oned, and for several hours no com.
munication could be had with them.
An opening was finally effected. and al
noon 200 of them had been rescued. A
number of those taken out are severely
injured. Rescuing parties are still
searching for those remaining in the
mine. Up to 4 O'Clock this afternoon
forty bodies had been taken from the
mine. Over 100 miners are still impris-
Oned. 1t is not known whether they
are dead or alive. The owners of the
colliery estimate that $50 persons have
lost their lives by the explosion. The
cause of the explosion was the flooding
OF pits adjacent to that in which the ex-
plosion occurred. BY the flooding OF
these pits gas was dislodged and forced
into the pit where work was in pro-
gress, and there it
WAS IGNITED AND EXPLODED.
There must have been great guam.

of mile. All the gearing in the shaft
was thrown into the air as If from the
mouth of volcano. and simultaneously
a vast bright volume Of flame shot up
ward, followed by heavy column Of
dense smoke. The first party of res
cuers organized endeavored to pene-
trate the pit through the old workings.
They got far enough to be able to see
groups of the dead. but they could not
reach them and were compelled to re-
treat by the suffocating volumes of
smoke that rose in that direction. Upon
the first appearance of diminution in
the volume of smoke rescuers went
down the main shaft and reached the
scene of the catastrophe. They rescued
large number of miners yet alive, but
all very badly burned, and they brought
out sixty dead bodies, nearly all so mutt.
lated that the recognition % their iden-
tity is impossible. The latest estimate
of the dead is $50.
The colliery surgeons are satisfied that
of those killed IN the pit half were the
victims of fire and the conclusion, and
half were killed by suffocation.

FARGO, n. D., Feb. 6.-The anxiously
awaited decision of the supreme court
in the case of Frank Ohlquist against
the sheriff of Grand Forks county, be-
ing the test liquor case, was handed
down this morning. The syllabus is as
follows: Where party was held by a
magistrate for violation of the law
against selling intoxicating liquor as a
beverage without license, in force on
that subject when the constitution was
adopted, and committed in default Of
bail and brought before the court on
habeas corpus proceedings. claim
strained of his liberty because
all pre-existing laws against
selling intoxicating liquor without
license were repealed by article 20 of
the constitution (being the prohibition
article) as being repugnant thereto.
Held: First. that if article 20 of the
constitution be self-eXecuting and op-
erative, it repeals the pre-existing
license law, including penalties. Sec
ond, but held further, that said article
is not self-executing; that it cannot be
enforced by the penalties in the former
license law; that the provision in that
article that ''the legislative assembly
shall by law prescribe regulations for
the enforcement of the provisions of
this article, and shall thereby provide
suitable penalties for the violation
thereof" clearly indicates the intention
of the constitutional convention that
supplemental legislation should be the
means of enforcing said article. Third,
further, that until said supplemental
legislation is had article 20, while pro-
hibitory in form, is, in fact, a declara-
ton of principles only, and without
force to repeal the prior license law.
Hence. the relator's restraint is not un
lawful and he is remanded back to GUS
tody."

WILKEsBARRE, Pa, Feb. ga sad
incident of the Nottingham mine eXplo-
sion at Plymouth last Saturday has
come to light in connection with the
death of Paul S. E. w. Scholz, one of
the victims. He was highly educated
German mechanical engineer. but re-
duced by misfortune to the necessity of
working as labOrer. He recently en-
tered into competitive test in the en-
gineering department at Washington,
d. c., for plans of government light
house. Twenty-Five other architects
submitted designs. His plans We're ex-
ecuted during his idle hours, and after
months of study were accepted by the
government few weeks ago. The gov
ernment officials also addressed him q
letter at Shenandoah, Pa. Offering him
position of Sl20 per month to superin-
tend construction of the building he de-
signed. The letter was miscarried, and
necessity compelled him to come to
Plymouth, where he secured work,
only to lose his life by the accident be-
fore learning OF his good fortune. The
deceased was a widower, and had a
young son living with relatives in
Freiberg, Germany.

sHoCK1NGLY MANGLED.
Few of the Bodies Recovered Can
Be Identified.

LONDON. Feb. Cit is now apparent
that the estimate of the number of lives
lost by to-days' explosion in the Aber-
sychan coIliery made by the owners Of
the mine was not placed too high, and
many believe that the dead will exceed
their fgures-150. Although some fifty
bodies have been taken out thesrescuing
work is only at its beginning, ana a
vast amount of labor is required to clear
away the debris and recover the bodies
that remain. The bodies taken out are
so horribly mutilated that except in two
or three cases Identification Is impossi.
BILE, recognition being rendered doubly
doubtful by the fact that men, owing
to the close and heated atmoS-
phere of the mine, wore no clothing
whatever except heavy boots to protect
their feet from the tlinty bottom. 1t is
ascertained that the mine has been in
dangerous condition for some time past.
Not long ago an explosion occurred in an
adjoining pit, by which five men were
killed. The damaged pit was flooded
and the water gradually forced the gas
into the pit which was the scene of to-
days disaster. Upon this information
it is already suggested that the owners
of the mine be prosecuted for criminal
negligence.

"THE BEGGAR's EMPEROR

hdSSeS tn OOrIndny.
BERLIN, Feb. 6.-The main purpose
of the emperor's DEGREES is to render
unnecessary any exceptional anti-social
legislation, after the expiration of limit
within which the present law has force.
The effect of the emperor's DEGREES can
only be compared to that pro.
duced by the news of the Prus.
sian victories in 1866 and in
1870. The emperor is spoken of as The
Beggar's Emperor" and in terms Of
similar suggestion. The Austrian press
praises highly the noble iniative, but it
is sceptical as to the result of such
conference. The semi official journals
are correct in their statement
that the chancellor acquiesces
in the emperor's socialistic
policy, Prince Bismarck never cared
great deal for political consistency.
The Germania, in behalf of the clerical
party, accords unbounded praise to the
emperor's words. The socialist organs
are silent. They are unable openly to
disapproye of an imperial programme
that resembles their own, but are con-
scious that the rescripts must injure
their electoral prospects, because they
outbld them in the appeal for popular
favor.

South Dakota's Prohibition Bill
Made over.
Special to the Globe
PIERRE. s. d.. Feb. Reconsideration
of the prohibition bill was resumed in
each branch of the legislature to-day.
The senate finished its work, making
only one important change before put
ting the bill on its final passage. The
change consists in striking out section
26, which prohibited liquor being kept
i'm private dwellings or other places for
exclusive use of occupants or owners,
and provided for search warrants to en-
able officers to go into any premises
whatsoever in search of liquors. and to
then arrest. fine and imprison persons
discovered keeping them. This was
con sidered to be the most radical feat
ure of the bill. and strong fight was
made against it. The vote by which it
was defeated was almost tie. The
senate fixed May as the date on which
the law should become operative. while
the house set the date for April
l, which will necessitate confer
ence committee between two bodies to
agree. Meanwhile no restriction can be
put on the sale of liquor in the state ex-
cept such as the general government
provides through license. The house
also agreed to strike out section 26.
after a long debate and close vote.
The house resumes consideration of the
bill tomorrow, when it is thought 1t
will finish and take vote. With sec
ton 26 expunged the bill as it now
stands is much milder in form, and the
opposition to the measure consider they
have won signal victory. although the
law will be stricter than any that HOW
stands on the statute books of any other
state. Little other business was accom-
