HILL Is STILL BOSS.

He Has Evened Up an Old Score Against
Anti-Snsppers by Indorsing q Republican.
NEW YORK, Oct 13.-"The Hillites held
stoutly together yesterday and whirled the
Hill buzz-saw with more than usual ve-
locity," says the Herald. The buzz-saw
cut Off the aspirations of Judge Rufus w.
Peckham at one revolution, damaged the
mugwumpian finger OF the leg al gentleman,
who last winter made Judge Issac III. May
nerd an object fit for q scrubbing- brush
and d>whitewash, and cut fine piece of Re-
publican timber to be used for Hill build
ing pur poses in this campaign. The stick
of Republican timber is Judge Charles
Andrews, who was nominated for chief
judge of the Court of Appeals by the Dem
-ocratic State committee, as he had been
the dav before by the Republican Sta to
committee. So the deal was oonsumma ted.
1t was oonsummated with the final acqul-
escence therein of Edwin Murphy, jr., and
Richard Croker, who had desired the nom-
inatio Of Judge Peckham. believing that
it would please the antI-snappers also and
increase largely the vote for the electoral
ticket. The deal shows that David Il. Hill
is still very much master of the Democratic
situation in the Empire State. 1t also
shows the sagacity OF Thomas G. Platt in
forcing the nonin alton of Andrews for the
Democrats to indOrse, so that no odiout
comparisons can be made after election
day.

Colliery Explosion in Pennsylvania Resulting

SHAMoKIN, Pa. Oct. 13.-By an ex plosion
of black damp in the Sterling Run collIery,
one mile and half from here, at IL o'clock
this morning, ono man was killed, four
seriously injured. and eight entombed. OF
the latter two were rescued at 10 o'clock
tonight in critical condition. The mine
was operated by the Philadelphia and Read

When the news of the disaster reached

the unfortunate men at once hocked to the
the women were crying and wrin ging their
hands by sterically.
Irwin Edwards, one of those rescued.
was hardly able TO speak above a whisper
when brought out of the pit. Some brandy
was administered, and he was In a little
time able to tell the anxious wives. mothers
and friends OF the men still buried
In the mine what little he knew
of their condition. I'VE all started by q

said, "but / grew faint from inhaling tho
gas. lost my way. and, after wandering. l
don't know how long, sank helpless where
was found. As near as L can make out,
the men are in an old ganRway, which is
now closed by a mass of rock which tell o
short time after the explosion"
1t Is impossible to say how long it will
take to dig the unfortunate miners out of
the old entry. There Is no means of telling
how thick the mass of rock is. and another
hindrance Is the presence of black damp.

with much larger population than Aipany

To elect q United States Senator this
State requires eishty-one votes on joint
ballot of the two branches of the Legisia-
ture. The Democrats will have seventeen
votes next winter, when the time comes
for electing successor to Frank Hiscock,
assuming that the majority holds together
until that time. The Republicans will
have thirteen votes, and one-Edwards, of
the Thirty second district-may not be cast
for either reGular-party candidate. 10
elect Senator the Democrats must
have sixty-four votes in the Assembly.
and the Republicans sixty-seven. While,
therefore. the Repu ublicans will be able to
control legislation in the Assem- bly,. II
they elect sixty-hve members. they will
need three more to control the United
States senatorship. There were sixty
seven Democrats and sixty-one Repnb-
licans in the General Assembly of 1892.
Three of the Republicans were from New
York. and three from Kings. If the Re-
publicans can elect four ont of thirty,
which this new spportionment assigns to
Now York, and four out of the eighteen
which 1T gives to Kings county, they can
secure not only the control of the Assem-
bly, but also the Senate.
