A MINING HORROR.
Ten Miners Sufocated in ColIiery In
Pennsylvania.

SHAMoKIN, Pa, April 3.-The care
lessness of a Hungarian miner in filling
his lamp in the slope of the Nelson
shaft at $50 o'clock Saturday morning
caused fire by which ten men lost
their lives. The names of the victims
are: James Brennan, Mike Brennan,
John Burt, Joe Bortrex, Nick Dalton,
John Garry, Fred Ginter, John Roble,
John Ryan and Frank Shupes.
Attempts were made to fight the fire,
but those who started to do so We're
compelled to flee for their lives. They
succeeded in reaching the bottom of
the shaft and were hauled to the sur
face along with some belated miners,
who owe their lives to the fact that
they did not go to work at their usual
time.
Almost the entire town gathered in
the vicinity of the burning mine, from
the air passages of which great vol
umes of smoke We're issuing. The
scenes were most distressing. The
wives and children of the imprisoned
men emitted agonizing cries and ap-
pealed to the crowd to rescue their
loved ones.
About midday rescuing party of six
brave men went down the shaft and en-
tered the burning vein. The smoke
was so dense that they were compelled
to lie down on their stomachs and lleer
wet sponges to their nostrils to avoid
suffocation. When they had proceed
ed short distance they came across
the bodies of two men locked in
| each others arms. They were the
Brennan brothers, James and Michael
| Further on the bodies of eight more
men were found, making ten dead il
all. The bodies were removed to tn,
surface with much difficulty. They
were taken to the blacksmith shop
where the most pathetic scenes were
witnessed. Three of the men wer,
married and had large families. Th'
others We're young men, averaging
less than a5 years of age. Thirty deat
mules are in the mine.

rily. The lighthouse was reached
safely and then the boat put about for
the return to Milneburg,
In taclking the yawl careened and
her occupants strove to right her by
rushing to the opposite side. This cap
sized the vessel and all on board were
thrown struggling into the water. The
screams of the women attracted the at
tention of aparty of men who were fish
ing from skiff some distance away and
they put off to the rescue at once.
William G. Merzeinch, one of the fishing
party, saved four of the occupants of
the yawl and two others were saved by
his companions. The four victims of
the accident sunk before their eyes. The
persons rescued were taken to Span ish
Fort, whence they were sent to Milne
burg and thence back to the city.
Search was at once made for the bodies
of the drowned, but up to midnight
none had been found.

AIR. Hoar Offers Resolution Against
Popular Election of Senators.
WASHINGTON, April SIT appears
from re solution introduced in the
senate Monday as if the debate on the
subject of the election of senators by u
direct vote of the people was to be re-
newed at this extra session of the sem
ate. Senator Hoar (Mass.) introduced
a resolution of which the following is
a summary:
1t asserts that 1t is ineXpedient that the reso-
luton sent to the senate by the house during
the last congress should be adopted, for such Il
method of election would essentially change
the character of the senate as con-
ceived by the convention that framed the
constitution and the people who adopted it.
1t requires the substitution of pluralities for
majorities: transfers the political power in
great states now distributed evenly over
their territory, TO the great cities and masses
of population; creates new temptation to
fraud, and will give rise to numerous election
contests. In conclusion the resolution says
that such method implies what the whole
current OF history shows to be untrue
that the senate has during the last century
failed to meet the just expectations of the
people and that the state Legislatures have
proved themselves unfit TO be the repositories
of the power of electing senators.
