Still No Official Report As to the Defunct
Banks Condition.
CORY, Nov. 13.-[Specid. - The COM
mlttee appointed at the meeting Of deposit
ors of the Cory National Bank last
Wednesday evening met the directors this
afternoon. A large proportion of the stock
was represented. After considerable con-
sultation as to the reopening of the bank
and making good the impaired stock an ad-
journment was taken until Tuesday, when
the final decision will be reached.
A special from Washington SAYS Comp
troller Lacy has not received an official re-
port of the affairs from Examiner Miller,
but from information received from other
sources is led to believe that the banks con-
dition is excellent If the Examiners re-
port, which was finished to-day and for
warded to Washington, sustains this view
the bank may be able to resume. 1t was
reported should it be necessary to appoint a
receiver, that the Comptroller has emphat-
ically stated that he does not believe it good
policy to appoint to the receivership of the
defunet bank citizen of the same place. 1t
is understood that Representatives Girls
void, of the Twenty-sixth district, and
Stone, of the Twenty-seventh, each have an
application.

PENNED In BY WATER.
Fifty Miners Narrowly Escape Death
by Drowning in a Flood.
THEIR ONLY ESCAPE is CUT OFF.
They Are Obliged to Wade Through Water
Up to Their Necks.
NEWSY NOTES FROM NEARBY TOWNS
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH,

Il
SCRANTON, Nov. 13.-Fifty miners at the
Leggett's Creek mine yesterday met with a
frightful experience About o'clock the
great pumps which cast out thousands of
gallons Of water, broke, and the mine began
to flood. The water, which rushes in from
passing stream, gathered rapidly. Fifty
miners hurried from their work in great
alarm to reach the carriage which conveys
them to the surface only to discover that
their avenue of escape had been cut off by
an unforeseen accident.
2 When near the top of the shaft, car of
coal, which was being taken up, had rolled
from the carriage and had fallen hundreds
OF feet, while the vehicle, freed of its bur-
den, had rushed to the top of the shaft and
become immovable in the tower. The only
other way to reach the surface was to face
the raging waters, pass through them and
reach narrow passageway which led to the
shaft of the Vonstorch mine.
With stern-set faces the miners advanced
toward the incoming stream. They waded
into the water, which grew deeper every
step. Soon it reached their knees then
their hips and then their shoulders, but
still they went on. To turn back meant
death, while ahead was hope of safety. For
1000 feet the men trudged on, with the water
up 10 their necks. Thev were compelled to
throw their heads sidewise. With one ear
in the poisonous sulphur water, and oc-
casionally drawing in the water with their
breath, they steadily strove to reach the
dry shore hundreds of yards away.
John Jones, Welsh miner, finally gave
mp in despair and asked the others to go on
and leave him perish. They refused but
dozen hands assisting him along. Suddenly,
with thrill of joy, one of the men found
his shoulders rising above the water, and
five minutes later all were on dry land.

FONSECA DEFEATED.
VAGUE RUMORs OF BATTLE ARE
RECEIVED IN LONDON.

Insurgents Intend to March Upon the
Dictator's Headquarters at San Paulo-
The Governor of Rio Grade do Sui Sup
ports the Authorities.
LONDON, Nov. 13.-The alarming reports
from Brazil are confirmed to-day by a
dispatch received by leading financial
house having large interests in that country.
This message says in substance: "Affairs
look bad; upheaval probable; result un-
certain; several provinces revolving;
troops rejoining opposition; Fonseca
cannot count on navy; health
bad; fighting going on somewhere; Fonseca
defeated; exchange dropping; garrison at
Rio uneasy; finance blue; paper money
under cloud; prices of everything rising;
presence of strong (British) feet good
effect; opposition gaining every hour; much
bloodshed possible" From this synopsis
of the situation it will be seen that the
worst is to be feared.
Other and similar messages, some of
them giving more details, and others of a
decidedly more sensational character, have
been received in London during the past
few hours Further fighting is reported in
Brazil, and the opposition forces are again
credited with victory. The place where the
battle was fought is not stated; but it is
supposed to have been in the vicinity of
Santa Ana, near Porto Allegro, the capital
of Rio Grande Do Sui A number of
other towns, in addition to Porto Allegro,
are reported to have hoisted the flag of
the National party Of Brazil, and large
bodies of troops are being raised in the
provinces with the ultimate intention. it
is said, of advancing upon the Dictator's
headquarters at San Paulo.
1t is now said that Da Fonseca's idea in
leaving Rio Janeiro for San Paulo was un-
doubtedly caused by the two facts already
mentioned in these dispatches, namely, that
he makes his base of operations there be-
cause it is near Santos, a port he is said to
be certain he can count upon, because he
can there prevent junction between the
forces of the Province of Rio Grande Do
Sul and, finally, because his advisers are
said to be of the opinion that the political
atmosphere of Rio Janeiro is not at the
present moment thoroughly beneficial to the
Dictator's health.
The Governor of Rio Grande Do Sui, who
is an adherent of Da Fonseca's party, has
assured the supporters of the Dictator in
that province that a fleet of Brazilian war
vessels will shortly arrive off the coast of
Rio Grande DO Sui, and that no quarter
will be shown to those who have "revolted
against the Government"

ROBERT RAY HAMILToN's DEATH
One Who Has Investigated Says 1t Was
Probably Due to Foul Play.

Probably Due to Foul Play.
CLEVELAND, November 13-A wealthy
merchant of this city, Ralph Worthington,
has just returned from hunting expedition
in the vicinity of Jackson's Lake, Wyo,
with three Dephews of Andrew Carnegie
He made careful inquiries there concerning
the cause of Robert Ray Hamilton's death.
He is of the opinion that Hamilton's death
was due to foul play. and not to accident.
When the body was exhumed water grass
was found entangled in the spurs. Mr..
Worthington says that the ford in Snake
river where the accident is said to have oc-
CURED is paved with white bowlder, and
that there is no sign of water grass in the
river for some distance from it. The depth
of water in the ford is only 15 inches on an
average, and horse can easily
wade on either side 80 feet away.
Members of the Mormon colony of
Re1burg, near Jackson's Lake, told Mr..
Worthington that they had good reasons to
believe that Hamilton met with foul play.
Sargent occupies Hamilton's luxuriously
furnished lodge with his wife, who is de-
scribed as beautiful woman, and their two
children.
