INSTITUTE LECTURE COURSE.

As predicted in these columns two weeks
ago. the rush for tickets for the Teachers
Institute Lecture Course, in the Opera House
next week, has been unprecedented. The
chart for the sale of seats was opened TO the
public at clock Saturday afternoon, and
while q large number of seats were rapidly
disposed Of, many Of the best seats still re-
main TO be sold.
A hue and cry has annually been raised
about the insufficient accommodations pro-
videi for persons desiring to attend the In
siitute Lecture Course, but they have always
been unfoaEded. We believe the time has
not yet been when all Of the seats in the OPP
era House have been sold for any one per-
formance.
The course of entertainments secured
for this years session Of the Institute is
acknowledged on all sides to be the best ev-
er provided. This IS a strong statement,
when it is remembered that many OF the
most prominent platform orators in the
country have visited Somerset, but the en-
tertainments will bear Us out

The Governors Party at the Worlds Fair
Shocked ut the News.
WoRLD's FAIR GROUNDS, Sept. 21.-
Governor P. F. Mckinney, Of Virginia,
arose this morning with serene and un-
troubled mind, and, with no thought Of
riot in his mind, sought the Mt Yer
non building. The governor had heard
no word about the awful riot at Roanoke
last night. With the governor, equally
unconscious OF trouble, were his staff
officers. They left behind Executive
Commissioners DIR. John Lappersor,
who strangely enough had no. heard
anything OF trouble in Virginia.
4Whafs that you say" he asked "a
riot in Virginia? Ibid not hear a word
about it, nor has the governor, for he
was talking with me this morning, and
all seemed unaware that there was any
trouble"
The doctor was informed that Mayor
Trout had ordered out the Roanoke
light infantry to dispel the riot and a
bloody battle had followed. The exc
cutive commissioner looked amazed.
Said he: Mayor Trout is relative OF
my wife, and is cool, leyel.headed
man. Think he did perfectly right in
ordering out the soldiers to preserve the
peace and protect his prisoner"
"Will the governor returnY
81 can't say. Lieutenant Governor
Tyler is there, and can act. / don't ap.
prehend any more trouble; although, Of
course, I cau't pretend TO say what may
happen. The mayor, however, had a
perfect right to call ont the infantryand
/ think the governor will uphold him. /"

a CoLnIERY DISASTER

Near wIlkssbarre, Pa., Results in the
Death of Five nIlners-A Careless Fore
man.
wnkrsBAnRn, Pa, Sept. 2l.-By the
carelessness of a mine foreman an ex.
plosion of gas was caused in the Ply.
mouth mine this afternoon, in which
Eve men we're killed and six injured.
The dead are:
D. NJ. Jones, aged 81, rock contractor.

William Jones, aged As years, rock
man. married.
John Flannigan, aged As years, mason,
owen p. Jones, aged 55 years, mason,

Joshua Lightly, aged ffty-fiye years,
assistant mining boss, married.
The three first named lived at Wilkes
barre and the two others at Plymouth.
ALI had large families.
The injured are: o. Z. Evans, Thomas
Williams, James Morgan, Joseph Cum
minis, D. B. Davis, o. L. Williams. ALI
were seriously hurt, but will recover.
The accident occurred at the Lance
No. II colliery OF the Lehigh & Wilkes.
barre Coal Company, at Plymouth, two
miles from this city, at five minutes to
2 this afternoon, and was one of the
most peculiar ever known in the an
thracite regions. Two masons, Flanni.
gan and Jones, were building high
stone wall at one end of the 1000 foot
gangway, in order TO reverse the air cur
rent. d. N. Jones, and William Jones,
two rock contractors, we're superintend-
ing the timbering of an air shaft, sixty
feet deep, which was being sunk from
the gangway to workings below. While
these mon were at work Assistant Mine
Foreman Lightly descended the main
shaft to inspect the works. He had a
naked lamp In his cap and passed along
the gangways and down an inner slope
to his way to the main or cooper gang
way. He had not entered this more
than twenty yards when his naked
lamp ignited the gas, and terrific e1-
plosion occurred. The force of the
explosion swept everything before 1t,
and was so great that the rush Of air
passing along the gangway tore down
the high walls the masona were build
ing, crushing Flannigan and Owen
Jones 70 death. at the same time the
workmen in the shaft were struck down
by a mass Of rock and timbers shaken
from the sides by the force Of the blast.
B. n. Jones and William Jones were
instantly killed and many Of the rock
men and laborers at work with them
sustained more or less severe injuries.
Foreman Lightly's body was hurled
from aide to side Of the passage aud
burned and charred beyond recogni-
tion. The conclusion was felt through
the erttire mine, and rescuing party
which was quickly organized entered
the workings. The effects OF tho explo-
sion were everywhere apparent Rocks
were torn up, ties twisted and cars shat
tered to kindling wood. The unfortu.
mates were found under the debris and
were taken at once TO the surface, whore
the injured were cared for. Lightly has
been foreman fortifteen years, and knew
that the gangway was full Of gas. The
officials express surprise at his entering

WASHINGTON D. O., Sept 21.-Ths
ways and means committee will proceed
Immediately with the preparation Of a
new tariff bill. AS was the case in the
preparation of the Mills bill in 1883.
and the Mckinley bill in 1890 the ma.
iorlty members will arrange the new
schedules and when the measure 10
framed IL will be submitted to thefull
committee. The Democratic members
Of the various subcommittee, internal
revenue, administration. reciprocity and
commercial treaties aud public debt,
will decide upon the notifications
bearing on their particular branch Of
the subject It is also probable that
in the arrangement OF the new sehe.
dulles the work will be divided among
the various Democratic members, sub
ieck of course to the ultimate approval
Of all.
A suggestion Is made to the effect
that Chairman W. I. Wilson, Of West
Virginia, has the lines OF the new bill
pretty we'll blocked out, and that his
scheme VIII pe submitted toI general
approval before the actual work OF pre-
pairing the schedules begins.
A very prominent Democrat on the
committee says the bill will be com.
pleted within month. II CongresBis
still in session il will be Immediately
presented. The Democrats on the com.
mittee feel that, in view Of the unrest
among business men on account Of the
proposed revision that the new sched-
ule ought to be made known as soon as
possible, SO that business can the
sooner adjust itself to the new condi-
tions.
Chairman Wilson, Of the ways and
means committee, to-day announced
that tho Democratic members of the
committee would at once commence
work on q new tariff bill.
At the conclusion Of the public hear.
ings yesterday Mr.. Reed made motion
that the hearings be continued for two
weeks, but this motion was promptly
voted down by the majority, who seem
anxious to get at the work in order
that the bill may be reported to the
house at the earliest possible date.
