The fact that some, if not all, of the
women employed i'll the mine have met
their death by the explosion will afford
an almost unansweralle argument for
those who oppose female labor in under
ground employments. Among the bod
les recovered is that of 14-year-old
girl. That she suffered indescribable
agony is shown by the young face, which
is SO horribly distorted that it cannot
be recognized. Tie blackened features
are swollen almost beyond all semblance
to humanity.
After it was found that the fire was
gaining in strength consultation was
held between the mine owners and the
engineers, and it was decided that as
there was not the slightest doubt that
everybody in the mine was dead the only
course left open for them to follow if
they hoped to recover the bodies was to
food the mine. Before any water could
be pumped in cries of "Firel' were
heard on all sides, and flames ascended
to the pits mouth and sparks were
scattered in every direction. A few
minutes later an immense column of
flame shot through the ventilating shaft,
piercing the thick clouds Of smoke that
were oyerhanging the shaft.

There was heart rending accident in
Weehawken yesterday. A little eight
year-old boy was killed by a freight
train while at play. Ernst Rudiger
was his name. and he lived
at No. 324 Union street. He
was playing with some other children
near Pier No. s. On the tracks near the
pier was long line of freight cars. The
children were passing to and fro under
the cars in their merry games, but little
Rudiger hid beneath one of them.
While he was beneath the car N engine
pushing some cars was switched on to
the track, and before the little fellow
could be warned the car under which he
was, started and the wheel went
over him, cutting him complete
ly in two. The Mortified children
ran screaming away and the engineer,
hearing their screams, stopped the cars.
The little fellows body was tenderiy
lifted from the rails. His father, who
works on the pier, was
notified and hurried to tthe
place. When he saw the little fellows
BODY he burst into an agony oftears. The
body was taken TO the house of the chiId's
parents. Coroner Boyer has taken charge
of the matter and the County Physician
has been notified.

But Some Will Not Sell at the As

The Tax Commissioners were to have
heard the complaints of several corpora
tions that think their assessments too high
at the City Hall this morning. but owing
to the absence of maps and charts necessary
to an Ineligible discussion of the cases,
the Board Adjourned to the Office of Tax
Adjustment Clerk l.. d. Fowler.
Corporation Counsel Edwards con-
Quoted the hearing for the city. The first
remonstrance heard was from the Passaic
Zinc Works. The local assessors fixed
a valuation of $780, 600 on the real estate
and $1,000 on personal. The company
was represented by Charles b. Sduires
who objected to both real and personal
assessments.
Mr.. Edwards asked if he would sell the
plant for $4,000, Mr.. Squires refused to
reply. The decision of the Com mission
was reserved.
The next complainant was David Dun
can & Co., on behalf of the North River
Pier and Wharf Company. The
assessed for S40,0 900 and the real estate al
$3.50, 600. No decision was rendered.

ments in general were higher than the as
sessments on adjoining property. Mr..

CONFRONTED BY DEATH.
A Woman'S Heroic Strug-
gle For Honor and
Life.
ON THE WEST SHORE TRACK.
linen a Train Came Rushing Out
Of the Tunnel-The Rufian
Captured.
IN THE WEST SHORE TRACK.

A bold attempt to assault a pretty
young married woman was made By
young scoundrel on the tracks of the
West Shore Railroad. between this city
and Hoboken, yesterday afternoon. While
the woman was struggling with her cow
ardly assailant West Shore passenger
train running at full speed hove in sight
and the woman narrowly escaped being
killed. Her assailant was captured.
1t was shortly after three o'clock that
Mrs. Annie Healy left her home, No. 51s
Ferry street, Hoboken. to visit her sister.
who lives on Hoboken avenue, Jersey
City Heights. She walked along Ferry
street to the railroad tracks at the foot OF
the Hill. There she noticed a hurley
young fellow, who looked the typical
tough, behind her. She slackened her
pace, and the tough slackened his also.
Mrs. Healey was now thoroughly
frightened. There was no one in sight
except solitary haQman at crossing q
block away. Trembling she stood on the
tracks to allow the fellow to pass her.
Instead OF doing so, with horrible leer
he made an insulting proposal. She
made no reply and he grabbed her around
the waist and threw her to the ground.
Before she had chance to scream he
had thrust handkerchief into her
mouth.
THREATENED BY TRAIN.
At this moment passenger train
rushed from the tunnel bound for Wee
hawken at full speed. When the
engineer saw the couple struggling on the
tracks he blew the whistle, but it had no
effect. He put on the air brakes, blew
his whistle again and kept ringing the
bell.
When the train was only one hundred
yards away the young villain released
| Mrs. Healey. The train was bearing
down on her. and she was so exhausted
managed. however, to get of the track
! just as the ponderous locomotive and
| train whizzed by.
| Mrs. HealeY ran along the tracks as she
| never ran before, screaming for help. The
| young rufian followed her.
SPEEDILY ARRESTED.
| Detective Guinan of the Erie Railroad
was walking along Hoboken avenue
when he heard Mrs. Healey's screams,
and ran to her assistance. In few words
she told him her story. and Guinan
| caught sight of the fellow on the elevat-
| ed tracks of the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western Railroad. He started in
pursuit. and after an exciting chase of
| several blocks, caught the fellow.
| At the station house he was recognized
| as Nicnolas Carroll, notorious character
| who few wears ago attempted to ASSAULT
another respectable woman. This morn
| ing he was arraigned before the Recorder
and committed for trial.
| Mrs. Healy Is seriously i'll from the
| shock and fright. Her husband threatens
| to take the law into his own hands if Car
| roll is not properly punished.

MR.. COLLINS DOUDLY INTERESTED.
Collins & Corbln, who assisted Mr..
Edwards in the case, are also counsel for
the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company.
AT the time the proceedings were begun
the Central end Lehigh Valley Railroads
were at loggerheads aud were fighting
eacn other for every inch of ground in
the cove. 1t can readily be seen that Mr..
Collins was doably interested in the case,
lnasmuch as a victory for the city smeant
partial victory for the Lehigh Valley
If the Central and Lehigh Railroads
b ad not bined, the latter would un-
doubtedly have paid handsome rental
Tor the property. The consolidation of
the companies. however, will change
that, and probably result in the cfty's
building the wet basin for which the
grant was originally made.
In speaking of Chief Justice Beasey's
decision, ex-Mayor Collins said:-"The
opinion is SO strong and conclusive and
comprehensive that it is hard to over
come. The only thing which should not
have been done when this case was in the
courts was the attempt of the Street and
Water Commissioners to drive the COM
pany off the ground. 1t was conceded by
everyone that the company was in pos
session, but, the city thought, Illegally"
Ii is the opinion of every lawyer who
has watched the case that the railroad
company will profit nothing by appealing
from Chief Justice Beasley's decision.
The true value of the victory of the city
will not be fully comprehended until the
revenue begins to come in.
NO DECISION FILED.

filed vet in the Clerks office OF the Su-

Knapp may continue his work In connec-
tion with the road, would become law,
the Judge said. A bill to permit the sale
of stone by the county was progressing,
and so was the one to repeal the Poor
masters law. The bill permitting
the erection of a bridge over the
Hackensack at the foot of West Newark
avenue, had reached it's second reading,
and the bill increasing the Asylum ap-
preparation from $50, 900 to $500, GOO would
become a law.
FOR THE GOOD OF ESSEX.
The Judge here explained that the Dill
extending the term of the present bonrd
OF Freeholders until May. 1898. and their
successors to pe elected for three years,
did not emanate from Hudson county. 1t
was an Essex county bill. and had been
introduced solely to benefit Essex
county. The Judge claimed that with
out its becoming a law no election
for Freeholders could be held in Essex
county. The present law, when it was
suggested last year. only became law
because 1t was expected that bill would
pass making municipal elections take
place in the fall This bill did not pass
aud the result is that Essex county is IN
trouble.
Judge McGrath reiterated that the
present Board had nothing to do with the
proposed law and then said the bill that
had been introduced contained amend
ments suggested by himself. The bill.
the Judge declared, would become law.
Judge McGrath reported that his de-
murrer in the Supreme Court to the suit
of William Speer to recover morgue fees
had been sustained and he recommended
that the warrant that had been drawn to
the order of Mr. Speer for 81 ITO be there
fore cancelled The Board acce pied the
recommendation and the warrant was
ordered cancelled.
The Judge next informed the Board
that, as published in The NEWS yester-
day, the county had won the fight against
tho Lehigh Valley Company. which
wanted to change the grade of the New
County Road on Avenue A. Bayonne.
In this connection Judge McGrath said
that in his opinion the Board could, IL 1t
desired, grade any part of the road OF all
of it in sections.
The Board ordered some shoes furn-
ished by o. Lawrence to be returned be-
cause they were not up to sample. and the
committee was instructed to purchase
others in open market and charge the diff
ference to Lawrence.
1t was decided to remove the iron raj!
in front of the Court House to Pavonia
avenue in front of the Hall Of Records.
and the Board adjourned to meet next
Thursday.

"Why is it In the years past when the

"She was Democratic before the tariff

"We stand on the threshold of a great
