Parnell was always dreadfully nervous
when he had TO speak. Those behind him
could see his hnnds hich ne usually held
behind his back, eienened with such force
that the nails dug into the palms OF his
hands. tie never si'Jko III public IL he
could possibly avoid it, and never because
he had an idea that people wanted TO hear
him.
Mr.. O'Connor says that Parnell was emil
nently superstitious, even in the most
remain In room If three candles
were burning within it, and he regarded
green as being peculiarly unluoky. When
the freedom of the city Of Dublin was con-
ferred upon HIM he particularly requested
that the lining of the casket in which the
parchment was to be placed and handed to
him. should not be green. but purple. Pur-
pie was his favOrite color and he consid-
cred it to be very ausplcious.
Mr.. Parnell did not discuss with his pO.
litical associates the domestic event
which made the final shipwreck of a life of
power but, from the hour when 1t came no
was a changed man. He used. previous to
that time, to be most accessible. He lived
apparently quite indifferent to the nature of
his personal surroundings. When not in
those modest lodgings he was to be found at

with his colleagues In Parliament, or at n
restaurant they were in the habit of ire
quenting. But from the opening of the
period of his unhappy passion. all was
changed in Mr.. Psrnelfs surroundings and

Earl Spencer. speaking at Grantham yes.

great ability, who served his country with
the utmost assduity. The Irish must be over

since OCOnnell. and England ought to

means of bringing about an alliance be-

fact should enable both to forget the un-

greatest parliamentary leader the Irish ever
had. and he was honOred TO death by men
who. but for him. would have been as insig-

and who had depOsed and abused the man
who made them because they were ordered

WILKESBAERE, Pa, Feb. 5-A cave-in
occurred at No. 3 slope at Grand Tunnel,
opposite Nanticoke, yesterday. Three men
we're shut in the mine and as the place is
hlled with water, it is supposed they are
drowned. The accident occurred in No 3

which was closed, was great body of
water In the adjoining chamber num-
Der of miners were at work blasting. An
unusually heavy charge was fired and so
shinned the wall that the heavy volume
Of water broke its way through.
Didn't Hear the Warning.
Some of the miners were given warning,
and ran for their lives ahead of the rush
ing flood. Three men-John Riner, Mike
Shelauk, and William Creagle-did not
hear the warning in time and were caught
IN their chambers. The men are all
married, and leave large families. The
subterranean workings, covering scores of
acres, are rapidly filling with water.

him six Others escaped. They are: Henry
Gibbon, John Mems, John and Charles
Boyle, William Coll, and Patrick Coll

tempt could be made to rescue any of the
other workmen the slope, which is 6a4 feet
deep, was flooded to the mouth, and they

Piteous Pleas of the Bereaved.
The news of the disaster caused great
excitement, and the mouth of the slope
was soon thronged with the anxious fam
lilies and relatives OF the workmen and
others. The scenes when it was positively
known who were lost were heartrending.
Wives implored piteously of the miners
standing by who knew too well the fatal
RESULT to save their husbands from the
terrors of watery grave. Little chill
dren were crying for their fathers, and
relatives praying for the safety of their
loved ones. The sorrowing wives, rela-
5ives and friends were finally convinced
that there was no hope of rescuing any of
the men, and were led away from the
scene of this new mine horror by sympa-
thetic hands to their homes

Many theories are advanced as to the
cause Of the great disaster Some charge
1t to neglect to notify the workmen of the
dangerous proximity of the water, as only
q few OF the old miners knew OF the pres
ence of the great body of water in the old
slope. Even those that knew of it had no
Sdea that the workings were driven as
near to the water as they were. A large
force of men was Immediately put to work
pumping out the water How long it
will take is a question, since no definite
iiea of the volume of water can be OBJ
tanned. Some of the miners say it will
take four weeks before the bodies can be
reached, but others incline to the opinion
shat it will take much longer.

THE INTERSTATE COMMERCE LAW.
Proposed Changes, the Most Important
Permitting Limited Pooling.


Permitting Limited Pooling.
WASHINGTON CITY, Feb. 5.-The COM
mittee on interstate commerce has re-
reported to the senate bill TO amend the
interstate commerce law in several impor-
tant particulars. Section 3 of the act
which makes it unlawful for a common
carrier to give undue or unreasonable
preference or advantage to any particular
person, company, locality, etc, is ex-
tended so as TO embrace shippers and 9th
ers concerned in interstate commerce.
The Limited Pooling Amendment.
The most important amendment is that
allowing limited pooling. The amend
ment provides that competing common
carriers may, with the approval of the in
terstate commerce commission, enter into
contracts or agreements with respect to
traffic, when, i'll the opinion of the COM
mission, the general public interests and
the general welfare will be subserved.
The contracts are to be binding but mar
be annulled by the commission. Failure.
neglect or refusal of party to any such
contract or agreement to abide by it's
term, shall be declared to be mis-
demeanor, punishable by fine not ex-
ceeding S., 00O or imprisonment for two
years, or both.
Other Proposed Changes.
Section 10 is amended so as to declare
unlawful false labelling, false weighing,
ETC., of packages to be transported by COM
mon carriers, to obtain or furnish trans
portation at less than the regular rates in
force on the line of the common carrier.
Another amendment gives the commits
sion authority to require reports from
common carriers at any time. 1t is also
provided that nothing in the act shall be
construed to prevent common carriers
from carrying to their homes, free of
charge or at reduced rates, persons injured
in railroad accidents, persons killed in
such accidents, physicians and nurses go.

WASHINGTON CITY, Feb. 5-The COM
plicated state of affairs on the senate sill
yer bill in the house committee on coin
age, weights, and measures has caused
Senator Stewart to resort to device some
times practiced in congress to secure
speedy action on bill. Stewart has come
to the conclusion that the fate of the silver
bill is jeopardized in the house coinage
committee and in order to prevent unfa.
vorable action on it, he made movement
yesterday to take it out of the hands of
that committee by submitting the silver
bill as an amendment intended TO be pro-
posed to the pension appropriation bill.
The Senate VIII Probably Agree.
The amendment was referred to the
appropriations committee, and whether
the committee agrees to report it favor
ably or not Stewart can call it up in the
senate while the pension bill is under
discussion. If it should be passed by
the senate land there is every reason to
believe 1t will be- the amendment, as part
of the pension bill, will be sent to the
house and there it can be called up and
voted on as part of the pension bill.

An Angry But Amusing Colloquy Be-

<hh NhSiS nut NOllOUuN BE-
tween Cockrell and Dawes.
WASHINGTON CITY, Feb. 5.-During
some remarks on the manner in which Pc
titions were gotten up for presentation to
the senate Cockrell yesterday proceeded to
criticise severely the views and actions of
Edward Atkinson on the silver and other
economic questions, and was prompted
and encouraged by Stewart and Reagan
Dawes said that Atkinson was a constitu-
ent of his, bat that his political affiliations
were with the senators who were traduc-
ing him. Atkinson was the peer of those
senators, and an honest and intelligent in
vestigator. His contributions to in lustrial
statistics would live long after any of the
illusions of those who now turned their
backs on their associate and ally.
CockreIl Grows Excited.
Cockrell [excitedlyl-Wh has been ira
ducing Mr.. Atkinson? Will the senator
please specify
Dawes-There is no occasion to spec

of the senator this morning are per-

COckrell shook his forefinger angrily at
Dawes and declared that it was beneath
that senator's position to take such an I'M
derhand, backhanded way of meeting the
