The Spring,

or all seasons in the year, is the one
for making radical changes IN regard
to health. During the winter. the
system becomes TO a certain extent
clogged with waste, and the blood
loaded with impurities, owing to lack
of exercise, close confinement in poor
ly ventilated shops and homes, and
other causes. This is the cause Of the
dull, sluggish, tired feeling so general
at this season, and which must be
overcome. or the health may be en-
tirely broken down. Hoods Sarsap-
arilla has attained the greatest popu.
larity all over the country as the favor
lite Spring Medicine. 1t expels the
accumulation of impurities through
the bowels, kidneys, liver, lungs and
skin, gives to the blood the purity and
quality necessary to good health and
overcomes that tired feeling.

OUR HARRISBURG LETTER.
Whnt Our Stnte Lawmakers Are Doing
at the Capital city.

Whnt Our Stnte Lawmakers Are Doing
nt the Capital city.
HAnRIsnurG, April 12.-The fraternal
societies have not brcn slow to take nd
vantage of the protection afforded them by
the Boyer bill. Already the Sexennial
League has applied to the state department
for corporation rights and other orders are
expected to follow. In addition, Peter
Boyd, the Scxcnnial League counsel, has
secured dismissal of the quo warranto
proceedings instituted by the attorney gem
eral some months ago Mt the instance Of
certain parties who were deslrous of throw
ing the league into the han Is OF a receiver.
This action removes a drag from this order
and Its officers and members look for an
era of renewed prosperity to date from the
granting OF corporation powers.
The house, after an extended debate
which seemed to have no influence on the
vote, has finally disposed OF the local op-
ton bill by killing il, yeas 87, nays 1902
This bill has been before the legislature
since the beginning of the session, and has,
by reason OF Its Importance, attracted
general attention, hundreds Of petitions
| urging its passage having been received
from all parts OF the state. Previous to its
defeat the way had been opened for general
amendment Mt the morning session, and
| the house had lots OF fun with the bill, put
| ting in lot of absurd amendments, all of
which were afterward expunged.
The measure was drawn by ex-Chief
Justice Ayncw and that distinguished jur-
| ist has made special effort to secure its pass
| age. Its defeat, therefore, will be a great
| disappointment to him as well as to many
| others who have worked in its behalf The
vote against the bill was 30 decisive that II
Is not likely that an effort will be made To
secure a reconsideration.
The net establishing boards of arbitra-
| tion to settle all questions of wages and
other matters Of variance between capital
and labor passed the house finally with only
eight votes against it. This measure Is
similar to the Wallace act passed in 1888.
Each side to dispute may apply to court
for permission to appoint three arbitrators,
but II one side fails to name its arbtrators
they are to be named by the court. This 1,
where the bill differs from the Wallace bill
which only became operative when both
sides applied for arbtrators.
The bill is educational in character, tn,
duties Of the arbitrators ending when they
have reported their findings to the court
The bill prohibiting railroad companies
from employing railroad telegraph opera
tors under the age Of twenty years to handl,
train orders also passed finally This bill
IL backed by the Order of Railway Tcle
graphers, and Is designed to secure an in
crease in the amount Of wages at presen
paid to railroad telegraphers.
Nothing has yet been done by the hous
ways and means committee with referenc'
to the senate resolution providing for fina
adjournment Of the Legislature on May 1
Such slow progress Is being made, how
ever, that Juno Is now generally regard
cd as the date that will finally be fxe'
| upon.

Some OF the Bodies Rsoo vered.

LONDON, April 12.-At an early hour
this morning 1t was impossible to obtain
the full details Of the accidentin the Ponty-
Pridd coal nine Tho first alarm was
given at $50 yesterday afternoon. The
sparks from an engine In four-foot seam
are supposed to have ignited pile Of cot
ton waste The flames spread to the wood
work and finally ignited the inhamable gas
In the seam. Flames and smoke gave 10
che 200 men at work In the seam the first
warning Of approaching danger. All ran
toward the landing. Many were overtaken
by the fire and smoke, fell, and were left 10
their fate by their comrades In advance Of
them. Comparatively few Of the men who
were in the seam at the time Of the ex-
plosion reached the landing.
At the entrance Of tho shaft rescuing
party was formed by the pitsurveyor. The
party got as far a. the landing at the seam
where the fire started, but WAS driven
back almost Immediately by the dense
smoke issuing from the seam. The sur
veyor took his men back to the surface,
After a half hours rest they went down
again and forced their way ton yards into
the working They found four dead bodies,
which they brought back with them. At
tempts to go further into the workings
we've in vain, rs the woodwork was burn
ing and large masses Of ruins were falling
necessarily from the roof.
One of the rescuing party who ventured
too far was killed. The men who saved
themselves Immediately after the fire broke
out were too much confused and frightened
10 observe the position Of their fellow work
men. They are unable to give any clsal
account of the distribution of the miners
and the work of rescue must therefore pro
ceed under all the difficulties of uncertainty
There are numerous volunteers to furthe
push the work Of rescue as soon as 1t be
comes possible. At present the flames ant
smoke would render any such undertaken,
vain, If not fatal to the party making tn
descent. There is little doubt, moreover
the most, II not all, of the men left below
have been suffocated to death.

Could Not Reach tho Bodies.

LONDON, April 12.-Hand grenades, bar
rels of water and pipes attached to fire en-
gines on the surface are being used to ex-
tinguish the flames in the mines at Ponty-
Pridd. In two sections of the mine the fire
was put out. The extinction of the flames
has been followed In each case, however, BY
the accumulation of gas, and 1t is feared
that explosions may follow shortly. An
other attempt to enter the seam in which
tho fire started has proved resultless. Al
though the rescue party saw six dead bodies
they were prevented by smoke and heat
from reaching them.

THE SENATOR'S no PLAIN TALKING
On tb1 Ronch Case While In Executive
Sessicn.

On the Ronch Case While In Executive
Session.
WAsH1NGToN, April 12.-The Roach case
came prominently to the front yesterday in
the executive session of the senate and was
the cause for some rather plain talk from
bot! sides of the chamber. The senate only
went into secret session after n yea and nay
vote in which it was developed that the
democrats had enough members present,
added to the republicans to PROFOUND an in
uuiry rs to what the other side meant by
refusing to permit the committee on privi-
leges and elections to report the resolution
relative to the contest of Mr.. Martins seat
by Mr.. Ady, resolution that had been
agreed upon in the committee at the meet
ing Saturday and further, why they had
exhibited, what appeared to be bad faith,
in the Roach resolution which republicans
contended had been agreed to by demo-
Gratis on the floor OF the senate
This at once precipitated n discussion in
which 1t WAS developed that the democrats
were opposed to taking up the Roach cass
at this time and wanted TO postpone any
further action until the next session of con-
gress 1t was declared by democratic lead
ers, as had been stated by them before, that
II the Roach case was to be gone into there
were others that should be taken up az
we'll The republicans retorted that they
were afraid of no investigation concerning
any of their members but they insisted that
some positive action should be taken in this
particular case.
The democrats said that they were WILL
ing the resolution should be modified so as
60; h.. To, 10th
or not they had the authority TO make the
investigation concerning the previous acts
of senator; but the republicans urged
that this did not go far enough and insisted
that the committee should be still further
authorized to go ahead and make the in
vestigation If they found they had such
authority. 1t was this counter proposition
that the democrats opposed and after
long discussion of the two views so vehe-
mently adhered to by the respective sides
the question was laid aside without any
definite action being taken.
The Martin case was given its share of
the debate, the republicans contending that
the committee on privileges and elections
should report the resolution as adopted at
its meeting, and that the work contem-
plated under the resolution should be prose-
cuted during the recess OF the senate From
the debate that ensued representatives as
sert that they draw the conclusion that the
democrats do not intend to do anything in
this case, and will, if possible, refuse to
look Into the question of the legality Of the
seat now occupied by Mr.. Martin.
The nomination Of Mr.. Eckels to be comp
troller Of the currency WAS favorably re-
ported, but confirmation did not follow, it
going over for day under the rules, there
being an objection to its present considera-
ton.

Fearful Explosion in Mine at
Ponty- Pridd.

Over 500 Miners stiiI In tho Workings
with but Little II Any Chance Of Being
Rescued Alivc-Thc Calamity Caused by
Sparks From an Engine-Roscuing Par
ties Hard ut Work.
LONDON, April 12.--A frightful mining
accident occurred yesterday at Ponty Pfidd,
Wales A spark from an engine ignitedi
khe gas In the coal pit near Ponty- Prdd
and caused the gas to explode. large
number Of miners were mt work at the time
and the explosion caused terrible havoc.
The exact number Of lives lost Is not known,
but II Is rumorcd that twenty persons were
KILLED and many others were more or less
seriously injured.
Later accounts from Ponty- -Pridd show
The situation to be more appalling than at
first supposed. Over 300 miners are en-
tombed In the mine.
The engine house Is destroyed and there
is the greatest fear that hundreds may
have perishcd The rescuers who went
down were driven back without being able
10 bring up more than five OF the dead
and the fate Of the other minersis is in doubt
The most agonizing scenes are witnessed,
and throngs OF men, women and children,
relatives of those below are crowding about
the mouth of the coal pit.
Still later advices from Ponty- Pridd do
not tighten the calamity, and the worst
fac is feared for hundreds Of miners. The
pit is worked in sections, one seam being
above another. The fire resulting from the
explosion broke out in the eastern section.
From this section seventy men succeeded In
reaching the surface through the main dip
working, led by a miner who knew the
roads.
They had terrible struggle TO get out,
forcing their way through fire and smoke.
Many of them were scorched and all were
terribly exhausted when they emerged to
safety. They brought no good news rs &c
those who were left behind, but on the con
trary expressed their dread that all those in
the mine had pcrished.

EAsroS, April 11.-An important opinion
was filed yesterday by Judge Reeder in
the case of Edward S. Packe ct al, bor-

The case grew out of the refusal of the
county commissioners to pay bill of SOL

decided that the word printing" in the act
