BEssEMER (Mich.), Oct. Is.-Nineteen
miners employed in the Colvy mine were
descending shaft No. this morning in
cage when the brakeman at the mouth of
the tunnel noticed that the rope on the
drum had nearly given out. He shouted
to Brakeman Ryan, in charge of the ma
chinery, to apply the brake. Instead of
doing SO, Ryan threw it wide open. He
stood for a moment dazed, then grabbed
his coat and hat and made for the
woods, where he is still wandering. Only
one of the nineteen escaped unframed.
The other eighteen are in the hospital,
every one suffering from broken legs,
arms and shoulders. Four are believed
to be fatally hurt. It is miracle how

SAN DIEGO, Oct. 18.-N. G. 0. Dranga,
an old and respected citizen, was found
hanging in the feed room of his stable
this morning. 0. G. Dranga, his son, a
prominent Republican here, thought that
the absence of his father since Sunday
evening was singular, and he looked all
over the house and grounds, fearing that
a sudden illness had prostrated him.
Early tins morning he happened to enter
the little room in the stable, and was un-
nerved by the ghastly spectacle before
him.
Dranga was Norwegian, and was ma
turalized in 1854.
He had been suffering from insomnia
for the past week or two. On Sunday af-
ternoon he came home from a visit to
Coronado and laid down. After a time he
arose, put on an old suit and went out.
When found he was hanging by rope
to the rafters, his feet being about twenty
four inches from the ground.
The Coroner was notified and cut the
body down. Deceased lived here for
twenty years. He leaves one son here
and three daughters. who are living in

BOISE CITY Gdo.), Oct. 1s.-The Su-
preme Court has unanimously sustained
the constitutionality of the Idaho test
oath law. The decision in which this
conclusion was reached was handed down
this afternoon by Justice Huston in the
case of Joseph r. Sheppard VS.. Hyrum
Grimmett, Registrar Of Paris Precinct,
Bear Lake County. Plaintiff is a Nor
mon, who offered to register upon sub
scrlbing TO the oath embracing the con-
stitutional provision and ignoring the
additional qualification of the test oath
law, enacted by the first State Legisla-
ture. The additional qualification is that
the elector shall not, since January, 1855,
have belonged TO an organization that
teaches or has taught, encouraged or has
encouraged polygamy, the constitutional
provision being simply that ne shall not
practice polygamy or belong to an organ
ization that teaches or encourages it.
An application was made to the Su-
preme Court for a writ Of mandamus to
compel the Registrar to register Shep-
pard.
The Constitution provides that the
Legislature may provide additional quail
tications for the exercise of the right Of
suffrage, and under this provision the
Legislature adopted the additional quail
tication referred to.
The principal objection urged to this
was an allegation that it was retroactive,
er post f0ctO, and therefore void. The
court, however, finds that the provision
does not come under the character of
eT post fdct0 law. Er post fdcto laws are
defined as laws relating to penal and
criminal proceedings, which impose
punishments or forfeiture, and not to
civil proceedings, which effect private
rights retrospectively, and is not appli-
cable to civil Jaws, but to penal and
criminal laws only"
The right of franchise is next cons1d-
cred, and is shown To be a privilege
rather than right, over which the town
making the power, when so authorized
by the Constitution, has entire authority
to prescribe such qualifications as are
deemed best. Numerous cases are cited,
and the history of the Mormon Legis-
lature in Idaho is briefly reviewed.
In refusing to grant the mandamus,
and holding the law to be entirely con-
stitutional, the court states that if the
conditions that have arisen since the
law was passed make il desirable that the
law should be changed, application must
be made direct to the Legislature.
This decision will prevent the Nor
mons from voting at the election next
month.
