Calamity Resulting in
Death Of Ten Men.
SHAMOKlN PEOPLE EXCITED
Heroic. But Unsuccessful Efforts Made
to Rescue the Imprisoned.

SHAMoKIS, Pa, April 3.-One of the
most distressing disasters that ever oc-
CURED In the anthracite region followed
the explosion Of lamp In tie hands Of a
Hungarian employed in the Nelson coll
hery near here. The colliery which Ii
operated by j. Langdon & Co, Is one Of
the largest and best known Ia the region,
paying superior wages and furnishing
work to its employees the year around.
Being holiday, there were not SO many
men at work as usual Others for the
SAME reason, were late in reaching the
mine, and 1t is owing to these fortunate
facts that the death listis not much larger.
Ten were killed.
The bodies were all found in the red ash
vein, to which place the smoke found its
way from the vein 200 feet below. One
thousand men are thrown out of employ
ment. The fire started about 20 feet from
the bottom of the slope where there is an
oil house, which is used by the men to
change their working clothes for others be.

A Hungarian was filing his lamp, and
1t exploded, ignitin9 the oil about him.
He rushed from the oil house. and the
flames spread with great rapidity. At
tempts were made to fight the fire, but
those who started to do so were COM
PEELED to
Flee For Their Lives.
They succeeded in reaching the bottom of
the shaft and were hauled to the surface
along with some belated miners who owe
their lives to the fact that they did not 20
to work at the usual time.
The men who lost their lives were at
work nearly 10 feet above where the fire
broke out. Through an airway from the
lower vein to the red ash vein the smoke
poured, suffocating the unfortuates like
rats In trap. Almost the entire town
gathered in the vicinity of the burning
mine, from the passages Of which great
volumes OF smoke We're issuing The

and children of the imprisoned men ut

SO dense that they were compelled To lie
down on their stonachs and keep wet

men locked in ench others arms Further

MURDER AND SUICIDE.
Another Instance In Which the Burden Of Life
Weighed Heavily.

CHADRoN, Neb., April 3.-A sensational
murder and suicide happened here in front
of one Of the leading business houses OF
the city and at "A time when the street was
crowded with carriages and people. Jesse
Wooten of Beaver Valley, without warn

and fired bullet through his own heart.
Wooten was married about six years ago,
and soon after became afflicted with
sciatic rheumatism, which incapacitated
him from work, and the burden Of life
fell heavily upon his wife. His disease at
times made him abusive, and at times he
was wont to beat her. This led to a sep
aration-Mrs. Wooten removing to Chad
ron with her two children. With the as
sistance of friends she was enabled, by do
ing plain sewing, TO exc out bare exist
ence. After the shooting, while the crowd
was trying to seize him, Wooten sent a
bullet into his brest, resulting in instant
death

A CARD.
Editor Tribune:

Editor Tribune:
My attention was called last evening to
a story which was circulated very indus
triously last Saturday by Edward r. DON
nelly, q saloonkeeper on Pawtucket ave.
nue., to the effect that had attempted to
file with the City Clerk q petition
for the submission to the voters of this
city the question of granting liquor H.
censes this year.
This morning i, In company with Mi
chael McAloon, waited on Mr.. Donnelly
at his place of business to ascertain
what authority he had for the statement,
knowing as did that made no attempt
to fle such papers, and also knowing that
II had secured the names, that was well
enough posted on the law In the case not
to be day late.
Mr.. Donnelly very politely informed US
that his authority for circulating the story
was based upon statements made to him
by ex- A lderman Smith and Assessor of
Taxes william p. Moroney,
There was no need OF seeking any
furthe light upon the question as the
snimus OF the whole question was then
plain to be seen by me.
IL will be remembered that Alderman
O'Reilly, at the meeting In February at
which an Assessor of Taxes was To be
elected, presented charges against William
p. Moroney, who was then q candidate for
reelection. These charges were based up.
on a certain mortgage In which ex- Alder
man Smith and Edward 8. Smith "of Bos-
ton" presumably the ex- Alderman's son,
had an interest.
supported Alderman O'Reilly's de-
mand for an investigation believing, then
as do now that Tax Assessor Moroney,
who AZ a broker negotiated the mort gage,
should as a sworn official of this city be
held TO an accountability for remiss ness
or neglect In not assessing the same.
Those parties knowing that 1 have
been for the past nineteen years
connected with the Temperance movement
saw that q plausible story could be con-
cocted and that In all probability certain
liquor dealers would believe II long
enough to influence their vote on next

SOUTH CAROLINA POLITICS.
The TiIlman Wing Of Democratic Party Issue
Manifesto.

WASHINGTON, April 8.-Senator Irby Of
South Carolina and the representatives in
congress of the Tillman wing of the Dem
ocracy have united in a long manifesto to
President Cleveland, asking whether or
not it is the purpose of the administration
to recognize them as representatives of the
Democratic party of South Carolina or to
treat them as Third party men not entitled
to patronage. They say in the letter that
they represent 10000 out of 1900 voters in
the state There have been indications
that the TiHmanites would not get the
recognition they claim, and members Of
the delegation are much wrought up
abont it.
