LONDON, July 5.--The work of rescuing
the living miners and of recovering the
bodies of the dead is being pushed as rap
idly as possible IN Migrants colllery,
Thornhill, Yorkshire, the scene of yester-
days disastrous explosion that entombed
the day shift of 145 men. Volunteers for the
work Of rescue are plenty and the miners
are working their way. into the further.
most workings Of the pit as expedltionsly
as can be expected, in view of the fact
that they have to remove enormous guam
titles of debris from the galleries. Little
progress was made last night as the inner
workings were still full of gas and the
rescuing party could get only little dis
lance from the shaft. Thus far the bodies
of So dead miners, some of them terribly
burned or crushed, have been sent to the
surface.
Other bodies can beseen in different parts
of the mine, but they are pinned down
with rocks and timbers, and it will require
some time and skill to remove them. The
bodies of some of the men do not show
sign of how death was caused. These
men escaped the effects of the explosion,
but were killed by the cholse..darnp that
filled the mine after the explosive gas had
taken fire. The air in the pit is compare
lively good to-day, and this leads to the
hope that some of the men may have
reached places of safety and are still
alive. II also allows the rescuers to
work more steadily than they could
have done in gas-impregnated air.
Many women and children are linger-
| ing about the mouth of the pit and many
distressing scenes are witnessed as the
| bodies of the dead are brought up and ex-
posed for identification. 1t is believed that
| of the las men in the mine at the time OF
the explosion at least ITO are dead.
! Eight men and 3 boy have been rescued
from the mine. All hope for the others in
the pit has been abandoned. The bodies
Of the victims are being rapidly brought to
| the surface. The scenes at the mouth OF
| the pit as the bodies are brought W, and
recognized by the relatives and friends OF
| the dead are most distressing.
Late this evening the rescuers had
brought IS bodies to the surface. Two men
were brought up in an unconscious condi'
ton, but still breathing. The physicians who
have been around the pits mouth nearly
all the time since the accident occurred al
once took them in charge, and hopes are
entertained that they will recover. SiS
men who had sustained no injury what
ever but had been imprisoned behind 6
huge mass of debris We're dug out this even
ing. When they appeared at the mouth Of
she pit they were greeted in most touch
ing manner by their relatives and friends
No reason has been given for the ex
plosion, but the conjecture is that it wa
caused by carelessness on the part of on
of the miners in opening his lamp.

Arranging for New Mail Route--A
Dwelling Struck by Lightning.
EAsToN, Nh, July 10.--James Z. Byrd,
secretary and treasurer of the Maryland
Steamboat Company, and Captain u. I.
Leonard of the company's steamer Ida
were in Talbot Saturday, trying to arrange
some details of the mail contract the conf
pany secured, and which went into effect
July LIST, for carrying the mail on the
Choptank and Tired Avon rivers by
steamer. The Choptank Steamboat Com
pany had the contract during the past four
years, but were underbid at the last letting
by the Maryland Company. One of the
points is Kirby's wharf on the Choptank,
which is the property and landing of the
Chpptank Company, and from this place
the populous and prosperous town OF
Trappe, three miles distant, gets daily
mail from Baltimore by special carrier,
and also dispatches mail daily to Kirby's.
The Maryland Company took the mail
contract with Kirby's wharf in it, although
it is not landing Of theirs, nor can it be
made so as the wharf is the property OF
the rival corporation. After various pro-
positions to land the Trappe mail at some
other wharf had been made and rejected
| it, was finally determined to deliver and re-
ceive the Kirby's wharf mail by small
| boat sent from and to the steam boat.
AT about the close of the terrific thunder
storm Saturday afternoon lightning struck
the dwelling Of Henry Carroll, in Caroline
county, near Dover bridge. Five person:

were seriously hurt except Mrs. Henry
! Carroll, who was sitting near window
which the lightning shattered. She re
ceiyed shock severe enough to badly
burn the right side of her body and t.
paralyze some of her limbs. 1t was somt
| hours before she was restored to conscious
ness. The house was shattered. The light
ming struck the chimney first.

OF the happy days gone by,
When q rrattling urchin only.
Sweet the day and clear The sky,
When wandered In The wildwood,
Helped 10 rake the new-mown h1y,
Mingled with the birds ana Towers
Happy-happy all the day.
But a twinge OF sadness hoyers
Round about me-when think
OF the bubbling spring where lovers
slipped the cool, refreshing drink,
And the morning air was laden
With sweet odors, soft and light,
or The cheering, merry whistle
OF the noble blrd-Dob White.
When the dew was on the clover,
And il hung its blushing head
Modest as a new-made lover,
or a damsel newly wed:
And tho sun in glorious splondor
Opened wide the gates OF morn,
Then Bob White his mate was calling
In the waving fields Of corn.

Dangers That Would Follow the Grant

Dangers That Would Follow the Grant
Ing of Ireiand's DsmaHd.
LONDON, July i0.--The Pal Nal
Gazette, which with its recent change
OF ownership changed its politics, now
supporting the Conservative party, is
publishing q series of articles from the
pen of Lord Salisbury, the Right Hon.
A. J. Balfour, Professor Lecky and
other well.known opponents Of Irish
Home Rule.
To-day it prints an article written by
Lord Salisbury, in which the former
prime minister makes out a case against
Home Rule from an intercolonial point
of view. Lord Salisbury says he sees
two dangers, the first and most sensible
of which is the blow that will be given
to India by the granting of Home Rule
to Ireland.
India, he declares, is held by the JUS
tice of England's rule, though the last
resort is always force. It depends upon
the answer given to Ireland what shall
be given in response to the similar de-
mand which is sure to be made by
India.
The second point of danger is the
event of war between Great Britain
and another power. An unfriendly
executive in Ireland could, in the event
of war, cause untold distress by allow.
ing an enemy to procure coal and pro
visions in Irish ports, and by allowing
the coasts to be used as rendezvous fol
prlvateers.
In support of this contention LORD
Salisbury quotes at considerable length
from the work of Captain Mahan of TIT
United States navy, on the influence o.
the sea power of the French during thu
revolution. Though England was "mis
tress Of the seas" privateers had cap
tured an immense number of British
merchantmen.
In conclusion Lord Salisbury says h,
believes that traditional hatred will com
pei the Irish to fully use against Eng
land any advantage they may secure.

Sioux FALLS, S. D., July 11.-Thomas
Ruth, school land commissioner, has dis
covered big frauds in the iosning Of the
State school funds. About 100000 has
been loaned out this year. The law re-
quires that these funds shall be loaned
upon coin bonds or realty, and that in
no case over $500 shall be loaned to one
person. The county commissioners have
in many cases refused utterly to COM
ply with this law. Out Of SO loans
made in one county, "a were in viola
ton of the law. The commissioner says
he will have the county commissioners
indicted. No more loans will be made,
though 100000 is on hand.

HELD UP A STR EET oAR.
But the Driver and Some OF the Passen-
gers Repealed the Robbers.

ST.. LOUIS, Mo-, July 11,--Seyen men
attempted to hold upu Jefferson avenue
bob-tail car, at II o'clock last night, but
were frustrated by the drivers bravery.
The hour was chosen and the daring
venture carefully planned, which goes
to show that the work was that of pro-
fessionals.
The police change watches at II
o'clock, hence there was little fear of
interference from that quarter. The
car was well filled with men and women
returning from the South Side races.
Suddenly the car came to full stop
and those inside were reused to a sense
of the situation by a ringing command,
shouted to the driver of Hold up your
hands or die"
Two men had hold of the mules brides
and one stood alongside the drivers
platform. Three surrounded the car
and the seventh entered the conveyance.
All this transpired in the space Of few
seconds. The fellow on the inside was
armed with short club and with this
he tried TO force the cash,box from its
hinges. The robbers were finally routed
by the driver and some passengers, with
out having secured anything.
