BELossBURG, n. NJ, Nov. 25.-One OF
the saddest accidents that has ever oc.
Cured in the West may be chronicled
to-day.
The Belossburg coal mines have been
discovered to be on fire. They are among
the largest mines in this section.
All Of the men at work at the time the
discovery was made did not reach the sur
face, ana 100 miners are imprisoned in
one of the lower workings.
1t is feared that every one Of them will
be suffocated by the dense volumes of
smoke before any assistance can be given
them.
The scene near the mine is heart-rend-
ing. Representatives of over one hun
dred families are wringing their hands
and weeping.
Women are crying for their brothers,
their husbands and sons. and strong men
are acting like babies.
Every thing possible is being done to

EVEN DEMOCRATS AFRAID,
Cleveland's UtteraDces Since Election
Making Him Enemies in His Party.


Making Him Enemies in His Party.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-The conduct
and utterances Of MIR. Cleveland since
election have given the leaders
of the party in Washington much
concern. Among themselves and when
they speak frankly to others they do not
hesitate to denounce the various signifi-
cant remarks in regard to appointment
to Office that have been made by the Pres
ident-eect as indicating determination
on his part to cut aloof from the men to
whom ne owes his election. and as an evil
dence of rank ingratitude mingled with
wrong -headeduess.
A distinguished United States senator,
who has been mentioned persistently for
position in the next Cabinet, and who
has usually been regarded as a friend of
the President-elect, in conversation with
another Democrat of almost equal promi-
nence, expressed grave anxiety in regard
TO the party outlook.
IL the President goes on in the course
which he has apparently marked cut for
himself, he said, without calling into
council the older and wiser leaders of the
party fear he will leave us at the end of
four years in thoroughly demoralized
condition. We shall be IN as bad "A plight
as we were after the defeat of Horace
Greeley. with less power OF recuperation,
because the party will be disrupted and
divided by bitter factional quarrels. Mr..
Cleveland will make record as very
independent executive, perhaps, but IL
will be at the expense of the party organ
ization. You can't reason with him.
however. don't relish the prospect
aheal at all"
Yes" replied the other, who is not an
ardent admrer of the President elect,
"and should like To wager that at the
end OF three years you will have TO offer
reward of Sl00 TO find man willing TO
nc now ledge that he had anything To do
with his nomination on his election y
10 this the senator responded grimly:

ESPECIAL TO THE NEws.l

TAUNTON. Nov. 25.-It is now believed
that Lizzie Borden will be a free woman
before Dec. 1.
1t is stated that the government has
failed to secure the new evidence it ex-
pected and that the grand jury will not
return an indictment.
So strong has the feeling grown that
Miss Borden Is to be released during the
past twelve hours, that it has become
generally accepted as a fact in many cir
cles.
1t is now known that the grand jury
was given recess because it showed indi-
cations OF refusing to find an indictment
against the girl on the evidence submit
ted to it.
This fact is believed to be the ground
cork of the present report that Miss Bor-
den is to be freed.
The statement of Mr.. Jennings from
the first, that his client was not guilty.
seems to have been borne out by the facts,
and he knew more about the affair than
what was told him by that client, and by
her friends.
Lizzie didn't get what she wanted it
yhe did go TO That drug store, and there
vas no poison in the system of the
victims.
Every theory was worked for all it was
worth. aud not a particle of strength
for the govern ment case came from it,
nnd the cropping in the dark continued
right along, with painful regularity
The attorney general saw that there
was no use in the government pursuing
this line any further.
On the dav that the grand jury went to
Fall River he told Mr.. Knowlton to
"shut off," and the order was obeyed at
once.

A NARROW ESCAPE.

Rocks in British Waters.

The Steamship Trave Almost Thrown on
Rocks In British Waters.
New YORK, Nov. ga London special
says that the passengers by the Trave,
who were landed Mt Southampton on
Thursday. report that the ship had a
nrrrow escape from being thrown on the
rocks Wednesday night.
They had passed the Lizard and were
proceeding throu IN a thick fog under re-
duced speed, which caused the strong
currents To carry the ship out of her
course.
Shortly after o'clock the passengers
were startled by the sudden stoppage of
the engines, AMI on reaching the deck
they saw the great rock known as the
"SIart Point" looming up before them
scarcely one hundred yards away
Many OF the passengers, especially the
women, became hysterical aud n panic
would have ensued but for the admirable
behavior of tue officers aud crew, who
soon succeeded In restoring confidence.
The prompt response OF the engines TO
the call To reverse was the only thing
that saved the ship going on the rocks.
