DEATH OF j. RUSSELL LOWELL.
The WeII-Known Poet and Editor Passes
Away.

BosToN, Aug. 12.-James Russell
Lowell, who died early this morning, had
impaired health ever since his return to
this country in 1885. He never inquired
as to the nature of his malady. From
inquiry it is ascertained that gout
affected him almost constantly OF late
and that he had sciatica, hemorrhages,
and latterly a severe type of liver disease
in turn affected him. Mrs. Burnett, his
only child, has been with him con-
stantly. She is his only near relative
except brother, whose whereabouts
are unknown.

Horrible Calamity in . Mine in South.
 western France.
 PARIS Dec. "A fearful disaster is reported from the St. Etienne coal field in the Southwest of France. While 80 miners were engaged in the Pompe pit, an explosion of fire damp caused the death of at least 60.
 The first notice that people outside the pit had of the disaster was . rumbIing sound, followed by smoke and flame rushing from the mouth of tho pit. As soon as possible, men descended to th ( rescue, while hundreds of woms D present around the opening shrieked and walled in agony for the fathers and brothers below
 The rescuers are reported to have found all dead but about twenty, who had been in working where the ex- plosion did not have it's full effect. The scene, as the bodies were brought up, was terrible. Women fell on the bodies of their relatives and could not be torn away, and loud imprecations were utter ed against the off eials whose neglect was held responsible for the calamity.
 The authorities are preparing to hold rigid investigation, as it is claimed that the mine had been inspected within few hours. before the explosion, and declared safe to work in.

Defeated With Great Loss-Another Mas
 sRcre of Christians.
 SHANGHAI, Dec. 7.-Fuller particulars have been received of the recent battle between the Chinese troops and the rebels, partly MonRolians and partly Chinese, who have been advancing to ward Pekin. There seems to be no doubt that the rebels received 8 serious check. The Chinese general, Mich, one of the bravest and best known of the imperial army, led the government forces, numbering 5000 picked men from the National army.
 The charge was irresistible. Mich, still at the head ofhis men, dashed into the breaking ranks of the enemy, seek ing out the rebel commander. A wound whether serious or not is untold, stayed the ardor of Gen. Mich, and while the rebel leader is said to have fallen, it must have been by another hand.
 The mounted rebels turned their po- nies to the north and. fed in confusion. Those on post received no quarter. Those who surrendered as prisoners were immediately beheaded.

ANOTHER CRANK.

He Has Been Sending Threatening Le etterl
 to Rich Conrad Harris
 NEW YORK, Dec.a 7.-An epi demic of cranks, on murder bent, has struck this city. The first of these made his ap- pearance last Sunday afternoon in ths person of John George Roth, who fired three shots at Rev. John Hall, D. D. , the eminent divine. Fortunately his aim was poor and the reverend gentle. man was spared. The would. be-assas- sin has since been committed to an in sane asy.un
 The second crank to appear was ''Wilson," who on Friday startled the world by his almost successful atte m pt to kill Russell Sage, the well-known broker, with dynamite. His own ter ribie death and that of the clerk Norton, have been wildly described.
 Yesterday another dangerous crank came on the scene. He is Oscar Wey rauch, 50 years old, book binder by trade. In threatening letter sent by him to Conrad Harris, 8 retired wine merchant, on Saturday, he demands So0O within two days. In the event of it's refusal he gives vent to the follow, ing:
 ''If you don't take notice of this, my request, you will be the next to Russell Sage, and will blow your brains in the air without I hurt any body else D
 MT. Harris promply turned the letter over to the police, and 1t resulted in the r1adman being capture1 in a lodging house at an early in the morning. He submitted quietly to arrest, but said it would go hard with Harris if ever he secured his release.
 Harris says he first met Weyrauch IA years ago in Hesse. Germany, being in troduced to him by the burgomaster Weyrauch was wealthy book binder at that time and 8 prominent citizen.
 He has since squaudered his fortune in wild dissipation and lately has de- pended on his friends and acquaintances for support. Harris said he helped him at various times, but recently he has not allowed him to enter his home Weyrauch was com mitted to ths Belle vue insane pavilion where he will bt examined as to his mental condition

 miter Still Mystery.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 7.-The man who threw dynamite bomb at Russell Sage was member of the Grand Army of Labor, an oath-bound organization, of which dangerous lnnatic w. D. South worth, is leader. Inspector Byrnes ar rested Southworth yesterday, but nlsss Capt. Harry Horne's story proves false, at least dozen more insane mon are at large in this city, each capable of dupli = eating the terrible deed of last Friday
 This secret band had for it's principal object ths wrestling of all the railroads from the hands of corporations and private owners. Southworth was in- sane on this subject and lectured and wrote about it in San Francisco and other places, People should be carried rom New York to San Francisco for $1 head, he thought. If a man wanted better car than ordinary let him pay double prica. The extra fares wouI d pay for those who had no money at aiL
 90 Tar as known the society had 12 or 10 members last Friday, when the man calling himself Wilson entered Mc. Sage office and sacrificed his own life In carrying out his threat to blow the Arcade building and it's 200 occupunts into atoms if his demand for $1, 2OJ, 900 was refused. Who these mon are even Inspector Byrnes does not know, but there are slight clues which may result in their apprehension.
 This band of murderous lunatics wore badges suspended from bits of red, white and blue ribbon-onIy South worth called the colors backward, blue, white and red-correspondine to the three degrees of the order, red being the highest. The officers badge was a large silver shield, with the letters ''G. A. L." on 1t. Other badges were of brass.
 Southworth is short, thin man, about feet 2 inches in height, with black hair and beard. His little had like eyes have peculiar, vacant stare, which causes those who have seen him to believe that he is not all right men- tally. He was shabbily dressed in 8 faded brown suit and wore a black over- coat. ,,
 Southworth has been positively iden = tltied by Captain Horne the lecturer in Worth's Museum, as the man who was the companion of the dead dynam;t tier, WHO, however, remains as much of a mystery as ever. Horne says both men came to him about two weeks ago aud wanted him to go featuring on social istic subjec

IMPROVEMENTS SUGGESTED,
Bank Street Should be Widened at tn
 Junction of Meadow Lana.

Junction of Meadow Lane.
 Residents of Brooklyn take pardon able pride in the new Bank street school and will endorse any suggestion having in view the improvement of the build ing or it's surroundings. Before the proposed fence is erected around the school grounds we would suggest lat Bank street, near the junction of Meadow lane, be widened. This can easily be done by cutting a few feet from the east side of the school lot. The street in this vicinity is very narrow, there being scarcely room enough for a single team to pass on either side of the horse car tracks. And if the outlay is not too large, the school lot could be further improved by adding to it the Clement property, which cuts into it at the southeast end.
