A TERRIBLE MINE ACCIDENT
The Earth Cares In, Causing q Great
Loss Of Life.
FIFTY MINERS ARB BURIED Ally
The Nine Flooded TO The Level OF the River
Bed, and There Gre no Hopes Of Res
culne the Entombed Men.

IRON MOUNTAIN, Mich, Sept. 29.-It is
reported this morning that the Mansfield
mine, few miles from Crystal Falls,
caved in last night, killing forty miners.
The miners were buried under heavy
mass and there is no possible chance Of
them escaping alive. Rescuing parties
are hard at work. Unless the impris-
oned men can be reached in short time
they will be all lost, as the waters are
rising fast and will soon reach them, if
they are not already dead.
The main shaft OF the mine extends
under the Michigamme river and the
subsiding of the ground turned the
stream into the mine, flooding it almost
instantly. There we're sixty men in the
'uine and but fifteen escaped.
A LATER REPORT.
1t is now said that only three men es
capped. They were in the shaft at the
time of the accident and were literally
blown out by the rush Of water and air.
Three are actually known to be dead.
The mine is flooded to the level of the
river bed and it is impossible that any
one can be alive in the mine.

The subject of cooperation between the
denominations should have large place
The congr sss will then extend the dis

point will be set before the world some
things which it owes to missions, in their
reflex influences upon commerce, sci
ence and spiritual life, as we'll as their
direct influences upon the industrial and
religious life Of the native people.

New YoRK, Sept. ga Herald spe-
cial from Newport, K. l gives an inter
view with Jas. J. Van Allen, whose NOM
ination by President Cleveland as am
bassador to Italy has caused 80 much
comment, some persons going go far as
to say he bought the Office by contribut-
ing $780, 900 to the democratic campaign
fund at the solicitation of William G.
Whitney. Mr.. Van Allen says among
other things: 81 know no cause for the
libelous attacks upon me-" He was
asked if it was true that he had given
$50, 900 for the election of Grover Cleve-
land with the promise that he was to be
appointed minister to Italy. He replied
that he knew Mr.. Whitney personally,
and that in October. 1892, that gentleman
asked him to "help the cause" He re-
sponded, being democrat and believer
in the principles Of Mr.. Cleveland's tariff
views, and he also sent several checks in
addition. At that time Mr.. Van Allen
never dreamed of the Italian or any other
mission. Mr.. Cleveland WAS elected and
Mr.. Whitney told Mr.. Van Allen that be
was entitled to recognition and suggested
the Italian mission, position he was
competent to fill. This was agreeable to
Mr.. Van Allen and there the matter was
dropped. II never sought honors OIL
emoluments. l believed thAt the country
needed Grover Cleveland at the White
House, and when asked for financial aiC
for the legitimate purposes of the cam
paign responded. This do not deny
but l most emphatically deny giving any
money with An understanding, direct o.
indirect, that l was to be rewarded. Their
are men high in the democratic party
in addition to the democratic nationa
committee, who can substantiate thi
statement.

The Defendants Will Answer the Charges
Made by the Grand Jury
WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.-The Ford
theater cases come up today. The grand
jury recently returned another indict'
ment or rather an old indictment with a
slight change of name. The original

division OF the war department, but the
district afterward discovered that Col
onel Ainsworth had always gone under
the name of Fred c., and his appoint
ment to his present position WAS under
that title sit was feared that the de-
tense might seek delay by advancing
the plea of misnomer it was decided to
recall the grand jury and have them re-
turn the indictment against the four de-
PENDANTS in the same form, excepting the
change of name, which was accordingly
done.
The famous case will come on for
hearing at 8 O'Clock this afternoon before
Judge McComas. 1t is not ex-
pected that anything more than formal
answer from the defendants will be
given, but by that time the government
will be apprised Of the course they have
decided to take. The argument Of any
motions will come up about II week

LONDON, Sept. 20 1t ia announced
that the fortified Island Of Santa Cath
arina, Brazil, has surrendered to the
rebels. The surrender of Santa Gath
arina is looked upon as an important
victory for the rebels, as it is contiguous
to Rio Grande do Sui, which is not seri-
ously disaffected. This will serve as a
base from which the rebels will direct
their inland operations as the rebel com
mander intends to carry on the war on
