Frequent fatal explosions OF fire-damp in
She coal mines Of Pennsylvania have led to
an effort in the legislature to reduce the
danger Of mine accidents. The effort has
taken the form of bill prohibiting the
employment OF ignorant or unskilled coal
miners. An incident that will furnish a
strong argument in favor of the bill is the
recent explosion and fire at Shamokin, by
which ten miners were killed and more
than 1000 were thrown out OF employ
ment. The accident, it will be remembered,
was caused by the carelessness or ignorance,
or both, of a Hungarian who was engaged
in filing a lighted lamp with oil. This is,
probably, the first attempt to fix an educa-
tional qualification for persons who desire
60 engage in purely manual
labor. Knowledge of how to handle
pick, shovel, hammer, ETC.. has
heretofore been regarded as all that is es-
eential to a miner except, Of course, health
and strength. But the Pennsylvania bill
proposes that in addition the miner shall
have practical and theoretical knowledge
OF fre-damp and other explosives, of ven
tilation and other scientific matters apply
ing 10 mines and mining. The effect Of the
bill should it become a law, would be to
close the mines 20 the ignorant Huns Slavs
and Italians who now find employment in
them. That Is what. the native miners Of
Pennsylvania want, consequently the whole
weight Of whatever influence they may
have VIII be thrown in favor Of the bill.
On the other hand, the coal barons will
probably oppose 1t, as il would be the means
Of shutting of their supply Of cheap labor.

The press dispatch sent from Augusta
Wednesday night and printed in Thurs
days papers relative to the floating
debt Of the Central Railroad aud Banking
Company. and also to the expenses of re-
organization, may mislsad some who do not
read it carefully. The impressions may be
drawn from it that new loans have been
made by the Central since the floating debt
OF the company passed into the control Of the
Hollius reorganization committee, and that
the 30 urties deposited under the reorgan-
ization plan would be held liable for the
expenses Of the plan Of reorganization if
that plan should fail.
As a matter of fact the Central has Dor
rowed no money recently. What appears
IN the Augusta dispatch as additional loans
was merely q consolidation of the floating
debt, placing it under one control.
When the Central won't into the hands of
receiver its floating debt was held by a
number Of parties Now it is held in one
block.
The securities that ere being deposited
under the reorganization plan will not be
taxed to pay the cost OF reorganization.
whether the reorganization plan is success
full or not If it is not successful the securi-
ties of the railroad company, held by the
Hollins syndicate, will have to bear the ex.
penses that may be incurred-that IL. such
expenses as the court may be disposed to
allow, and if the plan is successful the ex-
penses will be paid out of the fund reserved
for that purpose. The security holders who
are depositing their securities under the
reorganization plan have no reason to fear
that the expenses Of reorganization will be
lien upon those securities. An effort has
been made by those hostile to the reorgan-
ization plan to create the impression that
they will be a lien. In fact, various other
efforts are being made to block reorgauiza-
ton.

There will shortly arrive in this country
as guests Of the government, a number Of
Spanish grandees and other foreign notables.
They we're invited to come here by joint
resolution of congress. So far, SO good.
But there the good part of it ends and the
trouble begins. For the resolution Of invi-
tation carried with it no appropriation for
expenses, and the government is in the
position of host with no stores in the larder.
In the emergency it is said Secretary
Gresham will take from the contingent fund
OF the state department an amount sufficient
TO cover necessary expenses and look to con-

John Luning'. Mental:ConditIon.


LONDON, Jan. 23.-The facts as to the
sudden mental arrangement of John
Luning, son of San Francisco million
aire, and his subsequent removal from
the yacht Alert, at Nile, to Paris, is as
followo:O Luning began to oct pecu-
liarly when half way across the Allan
tic. He grew rapidly worse until the
arrival at Nice, where the friends whom
he was entertaining, decided that for
his own welfare, they ought to place
him under restraint. They telegraphed
to Charles Peters, formerly Luning's
schoolmate in San Francisco and now a
student of art in Paris, the details
concerning Luning's condition. Peters,
Frank Unger and Harry Gillig went to
Nibe and took Luning back to Paris
They summoned to the hotel DR.. War
rem Boy, an American physician, and
subsequently they called DR.. Charcot
Upon the recommendation of both
physicians Luning was removed to a
private asylum. His friends then
cabled to London for an English
physician, and this physician will
bring Luning to London shortly. A
dispatch from Paris says that Luning
planned to marry in Paris young wo
man from New York, who was
there awaiting his arrival. The dis
patch further states that Luning was
formerly Il conductor on a New York
elevated railway, when by his fathers
death, he became heir to 50, 10000

YOUTH IN THE RING

"Cob" Coleman and Robert Durham, of
Chicago, Fight Over School Girl.
CHICAGO, Jan. 23.-Two youngsters,
who will be society men when they are
old enough to shave more than once in
two weeks, battered each other with
hard gloves in mansion in the most
aristocratic part of Dearborn avenue,
which is the most aristccratic street of
the North Side.
The young fellows were "Cob" Cole
man and Robert Durham, the son of the
proprietor of one of the largest tug
lines on Lake Michigan, and the cause
of the combat was the right to pay ad-
dresses to young lady who is not yet
out of school, The timekecper of the
affair was Eddy Henrotin, son of Chi
cago's largest stock broker, and consul
from Belgium to Chicago, while one OF
Dunham's seconds WAS Cline Remedies,
son Of the general counsel of the Pull
man Company.
The fight came off at2 o'clock and was
8 hot affair from start to the end of the
fourth round, when Timekeeper Henro-
tin counted out young Durham and an
nounced that the victory and the spoils
pertaining thereto were the property of
Coleman. The fight opened easily, and
in the second Durham got in one on
Cole mans ear and would have settled
things then and there if he had followed
1t up. In the third round Coleman had
the best OF it, and knocked Durham
down seveaal times, which so dazed the
young man that he could do nothing in
the fourth but stand still and be knocked
down and out.

ROANOKE, va, JANUARY "a. 1879
RELIEVING THE POOR.

For once the good people of Roanoke
give thanks for a sight of mud. The
thaw set in in good earnest yesterday
and sun shone warm for the first time in
thirty days. If the start Of yesterday
holds good outdoor work will be actively
resumed at once.
With this there will be an immense
relief of the suffering Of the INDECENT
poor, for four.ffths of them suffer from
lack of work.
There will be, however, plenty of
opportunity for charitable work. The
action OF the mass meeting yesterday
in approving the plan of placing the
work of relief in the hands of the
Ladies' Benevolent Union relieves THE
TIMES of the pleasant duty of receiving
funds, provisions and clothes for the
poor. In money, food and garments
THE TIMES will have today turned over
to Miss j. NJ. Wolff and her noble
hearted assistants amounts and articles
aggregating in value some $500.
The good work will go on, and to- day
room will be procured in central To-
cation, to be used as q depot for sup
plies. The promptness with which re-
lief has been forthcoming is one of its
most interesting features.

RELEASE OF EGAN.
Welcomed by Irish Friends When He
Leaves Portland Prison.

Welcomed by Irish Friends When He
Leaves Portland Prison.
LONDON, Jan. 23.-James Francis
Egan, convicted of participation at Bir-
mingham, England, in 1884, in an Irish
dynamite plot and sentenced to twenty
years penal servitude, has been re-
leased from Portland prison on account
OF i'll health by order of Home Secretary
Aisqulth.
Egan owes his release to the persis-
tent efforts of Mr.. Redmond, leader of
the Parnellites On his release Mr..
Egan was met by John Barry, who had
left London for Portland on Saturday
morning. Mr.. Barry drove in closed
carriage to the prison and waited in the
governors house until the released
prisoner made his appearance. Hearty
greetings were exchanged by the two
men when they met
Egan was dressed in ordinary clothes,
which had been given to him by the
prison officials. Egan and Mr.. Barry
lost no time in entering the van used
for released prisoners and driving to
the railway station, where they took
the train for London. On the way EGan
asked many questions about the home
rule bill. Egan travelled with Mr. Barry
as frst-class passenger, but first pre-
sented his prisoners discharge, which
entitled him to reduced rates.
The original intention Of the govern.
ment was to release Egan on Monday,
but the visit of Mr.. Barry caused them
to alter their plan, as it was feared that
the arrival of Egan in London on Mon
day would be attended with demon
stration.
Egan visited the National Liberal
Club in London on Saturday night He
conversed there with Messrs. Macdon-
nell. Donal Sullivan and other Irish
members of parliament. He proceeded
to birmingham alone on Sunday morn
ing. He was met on his arrival there
by his wife, who keeps a small fancy
shop in Birmingham.
Although thinner and grayer than
when he entered Portland prison Egan
looks fairly healthy. Speaking OF the
severity of the treatment of the politi-
cal prisoners Egan said: "Nine years
in Portland are equal to eighteen years
of ordinary life. But there is plenty Of
life in me yet"

DIR. vANDyKE WARNS HIS CHURCH.
Enforcement OF tho Theory OF Inerrancy of
bible Manuscripts Dangerous.

Enforcement OF the Theory of Inerrancy of
Bible Manuscripts Dangerous.
New YORK, Jan. 23.-The Rev. DIR.
Henry Vandyke, pastor of the Brick
Presbyterian Church, at Fifth avenue
and Thirty seventh street, told his con-
gregation todaY that il the theory of
the orig ioal Scriptures was to DO set up
as test of his orthodoxy no would be
driven from the Presbyterian Church.
DR.. Vandyke's note of warning was
uttered in unmistakable language, and
he pointed out the dangers ahead If the
Briggs case was to be pushed on to the
end. lie said in substance:
This whole controversy is not ques-
tion about the Bible as it is, and has no.
thing to do with the iufallibility of the
Scriptures. 1t is simply question
about tho difference between the Bible
as it is and the Bible as it was in the
original manuscripts. This is the real
theory of the inerrancy OF the original
manuscripts aud of the Holy Scriptures
as they now exist. This particular
theory proposes to divide the church.
There are some things on which we
are all agreed so far as doctrines are
concerned.
First. We arc all agreed that the
Bible, as 1t is, contains some OF the
handiwork of man, and also some of the
inbreathing of the Lord.
Second. We arc agreed that all the
discrepancies in the Bible are amazingly
fe " and small and unimportant.
Third. We are all agreed that the ad
vance of modern scholarships tends TO
remove tho discrepancies of the Bible.
Tho theory Of the inerrancy of the
original manuscripts is not susceptible
proof. The theory moves entirely in
the region of speculation. No living
man has seen tho original manuscripts
and there is no authentic description Of
them.
We ought not to allow this theory to
become a test of orthodoxy. 1t is un-
constitutional, and was never enforced
as condition for our entrance into the
church and ministry. To enforce it
now would be illegal.
For these reasons l will have nothing
to do with the theory of the inerrancy
of the original Bible manuscripts.
neither affirm it nor deny it. This
theory may be true or it may be purely
imaginary. 1 am perfectly content in
my ignorance on the subject and pro-
pose to maintain it.
The Bible as il is is good enough for
me. l for one intend to hold fast to the
book as it is, and if am driven from
the Presbyterian Church because know
nothing of the original manuscripts, it
will be my comfort and will help me in
preaching the Gospel in the wide field
of Christian work.
1t is our first duty not to withdraw
from the PresbyterY. 1t would be like
abandoning ship in stormy weather.
Our consciences demand that we up
hold our convictions. 1t is our duty TO
study, be quiet. and mind our own bust
ness. Let us mildly but firmly oppose
every attempt to enforce the theory OF
inerrancy as the new test of our ortho-
doxy, or to disturb the liberties we now
enjoy.

DYNAMITE EXPLOSIONS.
Intense Excitement Created In Rome-No

Intense Excitement Created In Rome-No-
body Hurt-Property Damaged.
ROME, Jan. 23.-Dynamite bombs ex-
ploded almost simultaneously this after
noon before the Hotel d'Angletere and
in the garden of the proprietor's house
in the Via San Claudio. The hotel was
partly wrecked. Plaster was shaken
from the walls and ceilings, beams were
sprung from the walls and the floors of
several rooms sagged two or three feet
before the occupants could run out
Every window and every piece Of crock
cry, glassware and bric.a.b rao in the
hotel was smashed.
The front wall was cracked in three
places to the second floor, and at tho
door where the bomb exploded, a large
hole was torn. Nobody was injured,
although the hotel had more than 100
dodgers at the hour OF the explosion.
The people ran out into the streets
without waiting to take money or jew-
elry. They were surrounded at once by
crowd, and company OF gendarmes
was required to keep them all clear Of
the street in front OF the hotel. At
first the front wall was expected to fall.
After an examination the commissary
announced that there was no immediate
danger and that the dodgers might re-
turn to pack their trunks. Several
women refused to return and their be.
longings were cared for by the police.
Before evening all had left for other
hotels. The proprietor said this even.
ing that the hotel and contents were al
most total loss. Not whole piece of
furniture was left in tho building, walls
OF houses near the hotel were cracked
and all the windows were broken.
Tho proprietor's house in the Via San
Claudio was less damaged. All the
windows were smashed for 100 yards on
every side. No walls were cracked
however, and but for the nreakage of
glassware, crockery and furniture little
harm was done. Nobody was injured
as the family had left homo for the
afternoon.
Immediately after tho explosion tho
report went abroad that the anarchists
were again at work. The proprietor of
the Hotel D'Anglotero, however. says
he is convinced that both explosions
were caused by man whom no dis.
charged recently from his service.
