The plan of the incendiaries was to
start the fire in the west end and thus
draw off the Are department, but the

secure the other conspirators, a half

Gases-Troops Called Out TO

VIENNA, Jan. 2G An explosion of
fre-damp took place in the Forts
chritt mine at Dux, in Bohemia, Tues
day morning when the shifts were
changing A cage full Of miners had
been lowered half way down the shaft
when the ground trembled, a loud,
rumbling report was heard, and the
cable attached to the cage gave such
lurch that the lowering machinery
broke. rush of air and dust from
the pits mouth, the sounds of crash
ing timbers and the cries of the men
in the cage gave warning TO the men
above of the extent of the disaster.
Help was summoned. the machinery
was repaired aster delay of half an
hour, and the cage was raised. Ten of
the occupants had been killed instantly
by the shock, ten had suffered fractures
from which they can not recover; five,
who had broken limbs and internal in
juries, will live. They had been half
suffocated by gas rising in the shaft,
ami said that no man could live below.
An hour later the superintendent of
the mine and five miners from the night
shift went down into the cage. They
were unable to go more than hundred
yards from the shaft into the gallery,
but they found fourteen dead bodies
OF those fifty men who were waiting
for the cage, ten had been killed
and forty partially crushed by fall
ing timbers or half suffocated by the
foul air. A short distance from the shaft
the superintendent found four bodies
which had been crushed beyond recog-
milton by falling beam. The bodies
and the injured were taken to the top.
where the whole mining settlement had
gathered to watch the work of rescue.
The men who had been brought up
from the bottom said that few min
utes after the explosions they had
heard groans and cries from the mouth
Of the gallery about 800 yards from the
shaft. There was heavy timber work
at this place, and they believe
that the men in the gallery had been
imprisoned by the falling beams They
believed that some forty men had been
at work there. Shortly before the cage
came down, they said, cries ceased.
Another rescue party went down at
once. and, after three of them had been
carried back to the shaft UNI
conscious, penetrated to the entrance
of the gallery. The entrance was com
pletely blocked by the wrecked wood

NEW YORK. Jan. 20. Anarchist lead
ers are satisfied that the masses in all
civilized countries were never SO rest
less as now, and the turmoil aroused in
France, over the revelations connected
vita the construction of the Panama
canal, has convinced them that the
French people are weary of a republic
an form of government, and that the
time has come to esta blish in its stead
that form of government which is the
day dream of all champions of a
social revolution. TO bring about
the desired object sl1illful programme
has been formulated. The details OF
this programme are known only to
one or two Revolutionary leaaers in
each country, and no intimation of its
existence has yet been published in any
newspaper. From man who is second

was assured by him that there is on foot

to have serious consequences The
Partisan anarchists have sent delegate

This delegate, who is known to his col

forty years of age. He is a friend Of
the Marquis de Mores. OF VI. Mouchon's
movements since his arrival in this
city little is known. He has conferred

Johann Most and Baron Won Bernekcw
They have promised him all the support
in their power Within a week
or two public meeting will be held
to awaken Americans to their re-
sponsibility of responding to the
cry of anarchy. ID. Mouchon has
come here for money, and he expects
that every revolutionist in this country,
no matter whether he be an anarchist,
nihilist, socialists, a communist, a
social democrat, or q farmers alliance
democrat, will contribute literally. The
money will be spent on arms and am
munition, and for other purposes of
civic warfare. Tn, indiscc:,ninate use
of dynamite will not be sanctioned,
and no such tactics as Ravaehol re-

PRISON INQUIRY.


: ardee Pattoa, Of the iraia ieaites--
tiarq, Declares Ills KesdIaess to Eeet
All Charges.
JEFrERsoNyLLE, Ind. Jan. &c. The
senate and house prison investigating
committee arrived ia the city Tuesday
noon. They outlined mode Of pro-
eeaure as to the treatment Of the pris-
oners and the financial condition Of the
prison under the management of
Warden Patton, together with what re-
iation the warden has had with con-
tractors. II was then decided 70 con-
duct the proceedings based on an article
that had appeared in the newspapers.
Warden Patton stated to the commit
tee that he proposed to take charge of
his own case. He had no legal adj
visor, and did not want one. He wished
TO submit his books. and wanted an
open investigation.
1T $3.50 o'clock ex-Deputy Warden
Abel 5. Ewing presented himself before
the committee. He testified that he
had made statement to several gentle
men of this committee. including Sena-
tor Bingham, that there were some
things competed with the prison that
should be investigated.
He first went to Lieut. Gov. Nye and
made similar statements to senators
relating to the directory ab91 cain
moneys that were expended III aesend-
ing the state board of charities; also
money paid out as mentioned in the
warden's supplementary report of 1891,
relating to purchasing land and for a
new wall, the thousand mile tickets
and the sale of fifty hogs, together with
other minor charges, were made to the
committee. The ex-deputy warden then
explained at great length the punish
ment inflicted upon convicts. He said
he was deputy warden from May, 1889,
till August, 1892.
Convict David b. Hill was punished
with a buggy whip. He was partly
stripped, his shirt taken off, and he was
whipped on his bare hide Thirty or
forty lashes were administered by the
warden. He.was hanecuIfed to a cell
door and whipped standing.
In November, 1891, a colored man was
hung up by the wrists. He tainted,
and Ewing cut him down. The war
den was sent for, and the man again
tainted The warden thought he was
playing 'possum," but dashed water in
his face. Virgins was handcuffed,
rope placed around his wrists, and he
was drawn up on tip-toe.
This is called standing at the range"
He stood fifteen minutes before he
tainted. There are other modes OF
punishment such as carrying the sand
bag and placing convicts in the cage to
remain over night according to the
order of the warden, where they were
given four ounces of corn bread day.
In one or two instances prisoners were
confined in the cage sixteen days.

CINCINNATI, Jan 26.-An unknown
man narrowly escaped serious injury
early Wednesday morning, at No. 8
Broadway. Just before daylight Mrs.
tenton, who runs a news stand at that
number, heard cries for help coming
from III front of her store. When she
reached the walk she found man hang

being ont of sight below the bricks.
He was extricated and an examina-

An Old well about. 40 feet deep had
been covered by some old boards when
the walk was laid. and these boards
rotting away, had allowed the bricks to
yield to the weight of the man The

VIENNA, Jan. 26.-All hope of rescu-
ing alive the men who were entombed
by the explosion of fire damp in,the
Fortschritt mine at DuX, bohemia,
Wednesday, has been abandoned. An
investigation of the list of employees re-
veals the fact that 1870 men lost their
lives in the disaster, as it is generally
conceded that those who were not killed
by the explosion must have been suffo-

work is necessarily slow. Every effort
