Especial Cor. STATE CHR9NICLE.1
There will be quite a number Of can
didates for Railroad Commissioner
every section will doubtless put forth
men who could represent our good old
State; but we think no better ticket than
the following could be placed before the
General Assembly: Mr. G. E Harris, of
Wilmington; Captain Oct. Coke, of Raj
eigh; Maj. Wilson, Of Morganton.
Mr.. harris is thoroughly equipped
now Tor the position. He pos =essos every
requisite qualification, having b en- init
mately connected with possibly the larg-
est freight Interest in the State. No man
understands the intricate system OF
freight IN our State as he does His ripe
experience In such matters aud clear
understanding, together with fiue busi.
ness qualifications, would make him
Doubtless the best equipped man the
Assembly could elect.
| Capt. Coke is SO Well known as gifted
and accomplished man that he needs
really no recommendation at our hands
but we will state for those who do not
know him we'll that We think he would
make an admirable commissioner
Though not now practitioner, he pos
sesses accurate and profound knowledge
Of the law, making it unnecessary t(
have regular Lawyer for the position
Besides, he is man whose minC
is well-trained, and he possesses execu
tive ability OF the highest order n,
man has done more for the upbuildln;
of the Democratic party He might
very properly, be called the father o
our present county government system
Ii the party wants to recognize abilit
and long and varied and distinguishe
service, then Coke is the man.
Maj. Wilson Is regarded AS the fore
most railroad engineer in our Common
wealth. He has large railroad expe
rience, possesses extraordinary talent i
, the line desired and could not fail t
give entire satisfaction. With sue
Commissioners, the friends of the Con
, mission measure could have no fears
! to its success. n G.

RALEIGH, N. c., Feb. 1G The best
all-around man that | know Of for Rail-
road Commissioner is ex Senator Jas. S.
Battle, Of Warrenton. While not a
member Of the Farmers Alliance, neither
has he any railroad affiliations, thus fur
nishng a most excellent compromise
candidate. | firmly believe that 30 one
would, more strictly than he. discharge
the duties Of the position in manner
absolutely impartial and fair alike to
both the railroads and the people.
Couple this with his well-known high
business talents and ability, his sterling
Democracy, as evidenced by his past
honorable record in his work for the
party, and his universal popularity ID
North Carolina, and we have a candidate
upon whom all interests can unite.

SCoTTDALE, Pa, Feb 16. = The Mover
Mine, owned by W. J. Rainey, is on fire

tombed. The fire was kindled by a
miner accidentally dropping naked
lamp at the bottom of the shaft which
is 200 feet deep. The lamp exploded
lgnltlng the accumulated mine gas

port scattered the flame in every
direction. The mine machinery and
workings caught fire and the large fan
used for ventllating the mine was totally
destroyed, and the interior of the mine
seems to be one mass of furious flame.
A large number of men are at work
turning water courses into tie mine.
Moutz Greek has been turned from its
course into the mines shaft and is pour
ing large quantity of water into the
seething abyss. The Meyer Coke
plant, one of the largest in the
region, employed 500 men. The men
at this plant have refused to join the
ranks OF the strikers and the works were
running full. Fifty miners were at work
at the time of the explosion. All es-
capped except four, who are missing.
Later.

ported missing.

'Fhe Esenver Mining ConZrcrs,


Tie Committee on Resolutions
submitted the following report,
which was adopted by the Con
gress:
Resolved. That the First Ma
tional Mining Congress is unalter-
ably in favor Of the principle Of
bjmetallism as approved by Jefer-
son and Hamilton, enacred to law
by Congress in 1898 and accepted
by the country for all public and
private business for the first eighty
years Of our rcountry's history; that
we believe gold and silver, not
one to the exclusion of the other,
are the money metals of the Con-
stitution; that we are opposed to
anv law which treats silver as a
commodity; that we believe that
gold and silver should have by
law equal rights, uses and none
tary purposes, and to that end we
demand of the Congress OF the
United States the enactment Of a
law by which silver shall be coin
ed free in ali the mints equally
with gold, and to have with it full
and unrestricted monetary power,
and that the coinage he in the
ratio Of sixteen to one, and when
the coinage is represented by
Treasury notes each dollar shall
represent 4124 grains of standard
silver # 25.8 grains Of gold.
The committee also resolved
that their Senators and Represent
atives in Congress are asked to
take without delay such steps as
will be necessary to ascertain why
the Treasury Department refuses
to obey the statutory requirements
