STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA,
Executive Chamber,
COLUMBIA, s. c., Feb. 10, 1894.
To the Mayor and City Council, Ander-
son, 8. q.
GENTLEMEN am in receipt of let
ter from J. B. Douthit, chairman of the
County Board of Control of Anderson, in
which it is charged that the city authori-
ties are not making any efforts to enforce
the Dispensary law, and that "blind
tigers are selling more whi>key than
they did last year. The quarterly report
from the Dispensary at Anderson shows
a net profit of over $4,000, which gives
the city as much revenue as it derived
from licenses for the same length of time.
The State Board of Control regrets to
make this complaint, but you cannot
expect to receive this revenue unless you
satisfy the County Board that you are
acting in good faith in enforcing it: The
State Board will giveyou hearing before
acting in the matter. Respectfully,
B. r. T1LLMAN, Gov. and chm.

Their Fatal Delay.


 All those who were goo and BOO feet up in the breast had time to climb down to the gangwsy, and some of them escaped One who stopped with tho others in breast 2, seeing the danger he was in, started to run for the main slope, shouting to his companions: Come on! You will not get out" But they fingered, and five minutes later g men were dead.
 As soon as the dead arrived at the sur face Superintendent Ramsey had another party carry them to the old engine room, there to lay them out in rows on the floor The sight chilled the people with horror Thirty-sevon men without n scratch lying dead was indeed horrible sight.
 The few who escaped were greeted with great demonstrations of joy on reaching tho surface. All Is quiet in the town. Tomorrow all the dead will be buried.
 The origin of tho fire is supposed to be due to spontaneous combustion, caused by refuse and screenings in the bottom of the breast catching fire It Is sug- gcsted that possibly the fire had beon burning for some time, and from n smol- dering blaze it all ut once became a burn ing fire. Tho breast Is about 300 feet high and is now all on fire. The fire has also communicated to breasts 50 and 6I of the same lcvol and the fifth level is threaten cd. It Is believed with the active measures which will at once be taken that in three months the fire will have become com plctely eNtinguished.

NO DEFINITE CHANGE.
The BusInes. Boom ssIu Backward Aboa
 Coming Forward


 NEW YORK, Aug. s5.-R c. Dun & Co. s weekly review Of tradc, out today, says: Changes during the past week have not been definite nor very important As the presidents final decision regarding tho new tariff Is assumed, but not yet ccr- tainly known, part of the hesitation which appears may be attributed to the lingering uncertainty which must soon terminate. Other conditions. if not cn- tirely favorable. havc at least not changed for the worse during the past week
 The injury to corn Is less than many apprehendetl. but Is still believed to have reduced the yield about 5nO. coo 900 bush- els. The strike of coke workers and coal miners has ended. and while the lockout of cotton operatives is important 1t affects tho earnings and livelihood of a much smaller number The business so long delayed hy tariI uncertainties begins to come forward. that transactions in many departments arc larger than of late. and on the whole larger than at the time of especial stagnntion last year, but 1t is still too soon to determine how far the satisfaction of postponed demands will set idle hands at work or raise transac- tions towarl the normal volume. But 1t l. n healthy sign that the gain thus far is gradual and not spasInodic or fiighty in appearance.
 In nll the great industries some in- crease in demand for products has ap- pcarcd, and the bUOt and shoe trade con- tinues to lead others in recovery, as ship ments from the cast not only exceed last years largely. but stIrpass those in August of prcviOus years. Economy appears here in purchases of cheaper qualities rather than in purchases of fewer pairs or cases. and the demand Is largely for speedy de- livery, TeilcCting unusual reduction in stocks The cotton manufacturr, which has been employing q larger proportion of its normal force than most others and nc cumulating gOodS. greatly in advance of current demands, has about 23, GOO work CTS on strike at Fall River and New Bed ford tO resist n proposed reduction of wages, and the mills have been closed, with the apparent expectation that the difficulty will last some weeks \ some what increased demand for goods has np- pcared, but perhaps not yet as great as many have anticipated.
 In the iron and steel manufacture the demand for finished products incrcases. but is at present not as large as the ca pacity of the works which have cndeayor- cd to resume operations, so that their competition results in prices nearly as low as have been reached at any time
 A moderate gain Tn transactions Is seen at Philadelphia. though finished products thero Arc weaker and at New York no improvement yet appears, while at Pitts burg and Cleveland there Is more buying. but at Chicago considerably less than of late.

Both Houses Vote to Adjourn on Tuesday
 oT Neat Week.
 WAsHINCToN, Aug. 25-Au legislative business in the senate has been finished Today senators and representatives are leaving in every direction. Tho action of tho two houses in passing tho final ad- journment resolution cannot be rcconsid- cred except by unanimous consent, and that cannot be obtained. The senators who were recalled on account of what Democrats thought was party expediency have left tho city again or will have de- parted before Monday.
 Senator Harris recognized that further legislation was out of the question, and when the senate was doing business be- hind closed doors he had the order direct ing the sergeant at arms to compel the at- tendance of absent senators reconsidered. A few moments before adjournment Son. ator Quay notified the senaue that this was tho end of all legislative business He said:
 II desire to mention that 1t is moro than probable that thero will be no fur ther legislative business transacted at the present session, and if any senator has any matter of that character which he de- sires disposed of 1t had better be done now before the senator from Tennessee takes us back into executive session." MT. Cockrell-I supposed we were through.
 Mir. Quay-If we arc through, 1t is all right
 And ns Mir. Harris immediately had an | executive session of one minute and the senate adjourned 1t was obvious that all | was over.
 On Monday. when tho senate meets, there will be little or nothing done except to confirm nominations to which there Is no objection. and an early adjournmene to meet again on Tuesday for the final ad- | journmont In neither house will there be anything like n quorum on tho two legislative days yet remaining of the sec ond session or the fifty-third congress. The senate held une of the shortest open sessions on record Friday, lasting just five minutes, the greater part Of which was taken mp by the chaplain's prayor. Even the reading of the journal was dis penscd with.
 The house was in session but 55 min utes and then adjourned until Monday. | A sine die adjournment resolution fixing the time as 2 p. m. Tuesday was adopted. An effort was made to have the Hill anu- anarchist bill, amended so as to meet tho | objections stated on the, Goor considered, but Mir. English of New Jersey interpos- | cd an objection

Fatal Mine Explosion.

ASHLAND Pa, Aug. 25.-Two men were killed and II injured by an explo- sion of gas in the Gilbcrton collicry near this city.
 The killed are Frank Mccormack, fire boss, aged n. lived at Shenandoah and leaves n widow and flye children; Lewis Ball, driver. aged 19, lived with his par ents at Shenandoah.
 The injured are William Birmingham aged 2I. fatally and since reported dead Cornelius Lcahy. inside superin tendent fatally; James Tooney, miner, aged 24 badly burned; George Davis, miner, aged 42, badly burned; Will Davis, minor adopted son of above. burned; Harry Bir- mingham, miner. aged 20, badly hurt; William Penn, miner, badly burned and bruised: William Schultz, miner, badly burned; Harry Buchanan, aged 30, miner badly burned; Enoch Fingle, Gilberton aged Is, badly burned: John Kester, seri- ously burned.
 The explosion was primarily caused by fall of coal which became dislodged by the mining operations. This released an immense volume of gas and at the same time forced it along the gangways to Q distance of moro than 900 yards, stifling and choking the miners as it swept along i Finally it reached a gang of miners who were working with naked lamps and in stantly ignitcd.
 An explosion which shook the earth and was heard by tho people in their homes followed. Flames and smoke burst from the mouth of the pit, and inside and out thero were scenes of frantic terror Tho imprisoned and burning miners for got their pain in m agony of terror. and their wives and children rushed to the scene, shrieking with fear and despair.
 Rcscuing parties were quickly organ iZCd. and tho men werc brought to the surface as rapidly as possible. A tempo rary hospital was erected and medical at tendance procured. the injured being re- moved either to their homes or to perma- ncnt hospitals as soon as their suffcrings were somewhat alleviated.
 Superintendent Leahy, who is among those fatally injured, was formerly n war den in the Schuylkill county prison. He has been prominent in politics and is widely known.
 Tho mine in which tho explosion oc- cured is the property of and is operated by the Reading Coal and Iron company.

Fought Fire For Their Lives.

Fire was first noticed by some of tho drivers on the sixth north level, and no tice was given to the men inside who were working the different places as it was known there was fire. Many of the men rushed back to notify the miners farther in, while others rushed out and reached the main shaft. It is certain that all the men in tho breast reached the gang way in safety.
 In all about 70 men were at work in the sixth level north, and of that number about 10 fingered at breast e, where the fire originated, and made an attempt to put out tho fire. The breast was burning flercely, and before the miners knew it the fire had communicated to breasts 50 and 6l, and smoke began to issue from breast 6l in that immediate vicinity.
 Several of those who had fingered at the burned breast 62 took warning and fled but all who remained were overcome and asphyxiated. It is evident that all the men had time to como out, for those who worked in tho farther breast reached tho shaft in safety, while those who wero nearest the shaft and consequently wcro removed from the danger pcrishcd. They evidently believed they wero in perfect safety from the fire, but while they lin gered smoke oozed out from outside places farther south, and the bodies were all found south of breast 62. They were all found within Il space of jOO feet
 Several men were badly bruised, and one colorcd man was taken out with n broken neck. their wounds indicating that they had thrown themselves against posts and timbcTs of tho gangway in q wild and desperate cndCavOr to escape But the majority of tho bodies bear no marks at all, not even n scratch and their features wcre in quiet rcposc, indicating that their death had been n speedy and painless one.
