Roanoke, Va, M'rch 9.-Tae
local option election held in this
city on September 9TH last was de-
clared void III a decision rendered
by Judge Whittle, of the fifth judi
iclal circuit, in the circuit court
this afternoon. An appeal from
the hustings courts refusal to
grant q malt liquor license 70 Geo.
X. Moore was argued on Mar
2nd before Judge Whlttle, who
heard the case at the request OF
Judge Dupuy presiding over this
circuit. A special term was begun
today to hear the decision in the
case.
Judge Woods decision in the
hastings court was overruled at
every point. In his decision ,
which was a long and exception
ably able one, Judge Whittle de-
clded that the eourthad jurisdiction
in the case of an appeal: that one
fourth of the people voting at the
preceding November election were
necessary to sign petition calling
for q local optlon election, and that
a writ of election was necessary
for the issuance of the call for such
an election. The application of
Moore tor a license was made the
basis of an effort to declare the
election illegal.
The court room was crowded
when the decision was read, and
great enthusiasm prevailed as a
result of the ruling. II is thought
that the "dry>" have no appeal
from this decision. The election
in September was carried by the
local optionists b, 142 votes, but
since that time there has been a
decided reaction of many prominent
citizens in regard to this contest.

Miners Bodies Found.
THE THIRTEEN VICTIMS OF THE
GAYLORD DISASTER BROUGHT
To THE cTrpPAcE

THE THIRTEEN VICTIMS OF THE
GAYLORD DISASTER BROUGHT
TO THE SURFACE.
WILKESBARRE, Pa, March IL.
The bodies of th thirteen men
rntOmbed by the cave in the
Gaylord mine IN PiymOth, Pa.
were brought to the surface today.
1t is certain that the men were
instantly killed by the fall of rocks
and earth.
The names OF the Gaylord mine
victims are Foreman Thomas
Pocton, Thomas Jones, Richard
Davis, John Morris, James King
dom, Thomas Merriman, Thomas
Cole, Jos. OIL g, John Ham mer,
Peter S. Mclaughlin, Michael
Walsh, married Thomas Leyshorn
and Daniel Morgan unmarried.
Tho cave in Which resulted in
the death Of the thirteen miners
occurred on February Is, just
twenty seven days ago. Ever
since the horrible accident the little
town of P ymouth has been in
mourning.
The accident was more distress
Ing to the number of fatherless
children who had been left by the
victims. Almost fifty little ones
mOurned the loss of their fathers.
Foreman Plcton who led the men
to their death, was universal
favorite in Piymotb. So we'll was
be thought of that at the recent
election, On Feby. 20, he was IN.
animOusly chosen a school director,
this in face of the fact that the
men had |. en- buried in the shaft
for seven days and were almost
surely dead.
The shalt IN which the terrible
calamity occurred has long ago
been abandoned. All the coal, it
was thought by experts, had been
removed. In consequence no at
tentiOn was paid TO keep the Gay.
lord shaft in repair and it was al.
lowed to gradually fill up, until a
few months ago the Kingston Coal
Company purchased the shaft and
decided to again reopen it. The
inside supports were examined and
thought to be III a safe condition,
but just how this the DRY was borne
out is evidenced by the horrible
accident which occurred on that
Ill fated February Is.
Scarcely bad the cave 10 occurr-
ed before a force of men we're set
10 work clearing away the debris
within the shaft. This work has
continued with unabating energy
day AMI nights. Tue fall was
thought to be between 800 and 600
feet from the entrance to the shaft.
All of this almost solid mass of
rock has been removed by the
nntlrlng efforts of rescuers.
Many obstacles have been met
by the gallant rescuing party, bat
they have Kept at their work.
Some days their progress has been
less than ten feet while on others
they have advanced 100 feet until
today they have reached the spot
where the men persisted.

A Fat Girl Singer Wanted.

Manager B. r. Stevens is spending all his spare time just now hunting for fat girl to play the part of the schoolgirl with the unsuitable appetite in "Dr Syntax," which De Wolf Hopper will produce at the Broadway theater, New York; on Sept. 8. MT. Stevens says he wants young woman who looks even younger, who is pretty and who-this above all things-is fat. Simple stoutness will not i'll tho : bill. She must bc literally and distinc- lively fat. There have been number of applicants for tho place already but none has suited. The cast of the piece is com pleted now with this one exception, and rehearsals will begin as soon as this miss ing link shall have been discovered. MT. Stevens intends to advertise and hopes by this means to get the actress he wants.
