The Works on Fire, and the Flames Cam
not be Controlled-Fat of "a Rescuing
Party--One Hundred Families Deprived
of All Their Male Members.
VIENNA, June 2-Reports this morn
ing from Przibram show that the mine
disaster is far worse than was supposed.
In the first confusion 1t was believed
that ony 40 men were missing, but a
house-to-house inquiry among the min
ers' families reveals the fact that nearly
200 miners were left in the pit. The
flames were supposed to be finally sub
dued at the time when the first rescue
party went down, but after the IA
bodies had been brought up the fire
broke out afresh.
Water was pumped into the mine, but
the machinery was inadequate and the
fire increased. Help Was brought from
Beraun, the superintendent of the coal
mines there sending down q force of
men with machinery for flooding the
mine more rapidly. When the flames
seemed to abRte somewhat, u rescue
party went down and returned with II
more lead bodies. They said that they
could hear shouts and groans far off in
the mine, but that the smoke was SO
thick and the heat so intense that they
did not dare venture it.
None of the party would return, and
two hours passed before a foreman could
find seven men to go down with him.
1t was then thought that the fire was
nearly out, as only a thin smoke came
from the mouth of the pit, and that tho
| v,,Inaru an tho hinhap Iar,aIu ,vHa koI n,
capped drowning might be saved.
The foreman and the seven men tried
to make their way In the direction
where the scouts and groans had been
heard, but the neat was sitting, and
heavy smoke and fire finally INSTRUCTED
all progress.
About LOO yards from the shaft the
party were suddenly enveloped in a
gust of fire and smoke from y side gal
lery. Four men fell unconscious Their
four comrades ~endeavoTed to drag them
away, but we're compelled finally to run
for their lives and leave the men to die.
The foreman says there is no doubt
that all the men who we're left In the
mine are dead. The heat beyond the
point where the four miners were
stricken, he said, would have been
fatal and the smoke Wa Etihing. He
saw tools and garments abandoned IN the
haste of fight, showing by their posi-
tions that the men had fed away from
the shaft.
Immediately after the foreman's re-
turn. with the remains of his party the
fire started up again and, despite che
work of the engines Is still bnrning
fiercely. Thousands OF men, women and
children are in the fields around the pit.
The list of the 200 miners believed to
have been left in the pit and burned has
been posted, 80 chat if any Of the num-
Der had escaped his friends might come
forward with the information. Not a
name has been erased, however, and the
continued inquiry of the police In the
city has been fruitless.
One hundred families have been de
prived of all their male members by the
disaster. Charitable societies In Prague
will make an appeal for the sufferers.

PHILADELPHIA, June "A notice
posted in the Franklin Sugar Refinery of
E. G. Knight s. Co., recently absorbed
by the Sugar Trust, that no
more orders would be taken from pur-
chasers OF sugar, as the firm had over
sold for ell grades. This announcement
is taken as a movement on the part of
the Sugar Trust to facilitate a rise in
sugar. A member Of the firm of E G.
Mcknight g. Co., declared that It was to
prepare for the contingency of an en-
forced shutdown that the action was
taken. The poor condition Of the boil
ers at the refinery, he said, made neces-
ssry the suspension OF production.

No Clue to the missing minister.

ELIZABETH, N. j., June mo clue
has yet been found IS to the where
abouts or fate of the Rev. Nathaniel
Nicolai, pastor Of the First German
Presbyterian Church of this city, who
mysteriously disappeared Friday last, as
already stated. His mother, who re-
sides in Brooklyn, was visited Saturday
night by a stranger who handed her the
missing mans silk hat in a battered
condition, also his keys and papers.
The incident so startled the woman that
she failed to question the man before he
left. In the meantime gossip Is busy
among his congregation; while many
sympathize with him, others claim that
his disappearance is only for effect.

Andrew JacksOn's Prophetic
Words.

From Jackson's FdreueH Address.l
The corporate ons and wealthy indi-
viduals who are engaged in large manu-
featuring establishments desire a high
tariff to increase their gains. Design
ing politicians will support it to concil-
late their favor and to obtain the means
of profuse expenditure for the purpose
of purchasing influence in other quar-
tiers. n \ Do not allow yourself
yes, my fellow-citizens, to be misled
on this subject. The Federal Govern
ment cannot collect Il surplus for such
purposes without violating the princi-
pies of the Constitution and assuming
powers which have not been granted.
1t is, moreover, a system of injustice,
and, il persisted in, will inevitably lead
to corruption and must end in ruin.

A very unIuly convention Of about
200 colored men was held in Trenton
on Monday, which claimed 10 repre-
sent the colored voters of the State.
They adopted an address TO the Repub-
iican State Committee setting forth the
grievances of the colored voters and de-
mandiDg recognition of them by repre-
sentation on the State Committee.
Better treatment generally was asked
on the strength of party loyalty in the
past. An address to the people at large
was also adopted asking that coloied
men be drawn for jury service aud hold
ing that color of skin and texture Of
hair should debar no one from political
recognition or advancement TO public
places. They want one of their num-
Der on the Republican State Committee.
The Republicans on Tuesday granted
the request.
