with flowers, the "Gold Hall" of Delmon
icosnever looked more delightful and
never held a nobler company.
Among the guests and speakers of the
evening were Secretaries Window
Tracy and Miller, ex-Socretary Bayard
and Hons j, w. Longley and Wilfred
Laurier, of the Dominion government.
From 6 till the company fea5ted
and drank with gay and earnest talk and
laughter.
When at . o'clock coffee and cigars
had been reached Capt. Ambrose Snow,
president of the board and of the ban
quet, called opon Secretary Window,
who sat ut his right hand, to respond to
the first toast: "Our Country's Pros
perity Dependent Upon It's Instruments
of Commerce"
Secretary Window arose. the picture
of keen intellectual, moral and physical
health, and for half an hour informed
and pleased the brilliant audience OF
happy banqueters by a thoughtful and
even eloquent presentation Of the great
ness of The internal commerce Of the
United States. the needs Of its external
commerce. and the Importance to the
nations welfare of currency at once
sound. sufficient and elastic.
The speech was applauded frequently
and loudly, and the speaker had to ask
that the applause should not encroach
upon the time of the speakers who were
to follow him. As he sat down the com
pany rose and gave him three cheers
and a tiger.
Capt. Snow arose and began to intro
duce the next speaker, who was eX-Sec-
retaly Bayard. when some one called at
teuti0n to Secretary Window. His cigar,
which he had lighted upon taking his
seat, was firmly held between his
clCAched teeth. but his head had fallen
ovar onto his shoulder and he was sink
ing to the floor, laboring hard to con
tinue breathing.
Those near laid him upon the floor
and several doctors in the company hast
ened to him A hasty examination
showed that his heart was still beating,
He was carried into an adjoining room
and laid ON table. In ten minutes he was
dead. He never regained consciousness,
His death was caused by failure Of the
heart.
The death of Secretary Window was
announced 10 the bauqueters and the an
nouncement caused indescribable eX-
Citement So soon as it quieted down
the assemblagc broke up, and all depart

laid before the house Thursday a letter
from the secretary of the treasury urging
prompt action on the bill for the erec-
ton of a new mint in Philadelphia.
The secretary says that it is impossible
TO enlarge in desirable way the present

smallness of space for the operations Of
the mint and the lack Of storage capaci-
ty for the large quantity of silver
bullion which the government is re-
auired to purchase under the act Of

ne purchased at Philadelphia. and renders

Ory of the Explosion Ridiculous.
PrTsBURG, Jan. 31.--The following
was received from the Mammoth mine
Thursday night;
This afternoon it was discovered by
the rolls of the company that twenty
three more men are missing, in' addition
to the 101 found dead This increases
the total dead to $780, 1t is probable the
remaining tweny-three will not be
found for weeks, owing to the immense
piles of wreckage that must be under
mined. Twenty seven more dead miners
were buried at noon to-day, many of the
graves being marked unknown owing
to the terrible mutilation.
More Stringent Laws Needed.
Master Workman Rae, of the United
Mine Workers, is laboring with his col
leagues to form more stringent mining
laws for this state, and influential politi-
clans are preparing to push them in the
legislature. As it is there seems to be
no way for the people TO reach the com
pany for damages.
A call for assistance has been issued
by all Pittsburg labor organizations,
and newspapers and business offices are
receiving subscriptions
1t is thought by experts that the force
of the explosion was augmented by the
fine dry coal-dust in the mine which
ignited when the fire-damp exploded.

The bodies We're viewed, and after
brief consultation with the Jury, the
coroner continued the inquest until 10 a.
IN. Thursday Feb. s. The inquest will
be held in the arbitration room of the
Westmoreland county court house at
Greensburg,
The Gas-Pocket Theory,
President Rae of the United Mine
Workers, says the gas pocket theory is
ridiculous, and the explosion occurred
from long accumulation of gas. This
point may be decided when the coroner
investigates the cause of the accident
next week Most of the dead miners
used naked lamps, instead of the safety
lambs ordered by law in certain danger
Gus mines, Subscription lists, started in
all parts of the district are rolling up
rapidly.
There is nothing to be done now but
search for the remaining dead and care
for the living. A legislative committee
from Harrisburg, with Farrell in
charge, is now investigating the dis
aster.
A call has been issued for the National
executive board of the United Mine
Workers, to meet at Seottdale, next
week, instead Of Columbus, o., as in
tended.
The H. c. Flick company, owing the
Mammoth mine, has put aside $25 900
for the immediate relief of the hundred
distressed families, in addition to paying
all funeral expenses.
The owners of the mine are supposed
to be fully protected. The insurance
was so widely distributed that no indi-
vidual company will probably lose over
$4,000.

CHARLES BRAoLAueH DEAD.


The Well Known English Atheist Dies at
the Age of GS.
LONDON, Jan. 31.--Mr. Charles Brad
laugh, member of parliament for North
ampton who has been critically i'll for
some time past, died at o'clock Friday
morning.
Biographical.
Charles Bradlaugb was born in Lon
don in 1888 He had early to shift for
himself and was in turn errand-boy,
small coal merchant, and trooper in
Dublin. Procuring his discharge, ne re-
turned to London i'll 1853, became clerk
to solicitor and ere long busy secu-
larist lecturer and pamphleteer under
the name of "lconoclast." His voice
was heard in all popular causes, alike on
platforms throughout the country, and
in the pages of his organ, The National
RefOrmer but in 1880 his name assumed
new importance on his being elected
member of parliament for Northampton.
He refused at first to take the parlia-
nentary oath, next offered TO take it;
but as he had been loud in his avowal
of atheism the house refused even to
allow him to affirm. He continued his
struggle with the house, was thrice re-
elected by Northampton and Mt length,
in 1886, having taken the OATH he was
allowed to take his seat In parliament
he gained respect by his strong sense
and debating power and he earned wide
popularity by his agitation against per-
petual pensions.
OF Bradlaugh's writings the best
known is his Impeachment of the
House of Brunswick" His republica-
ton, in conjunction with Mrs. Annie
Besant, of an old pamphlet, "The Fruits
of Philosophy" a proposed solution for
the overpopulation question, led in 1876
to a sentence Of six months imprison-
ment and a GOO fine. but the conviction
was quashed on appeal.
