MINERS BADLY BURNED.
Two Distinct Explosions in the Gilberton G Mine.

Two Distinct Explosions In the GilbertOn
 Mine.
 Pottsville, Pa., Aug. 24.-Shortly af- ternoon to-day an explosion of gas took place in the workings of the Philadel- phia and Reading company's colliery at Gilberton. Frank Mccormick, fire boss, was killed. Louis Ball was fatally hurt, and the following were seriously in- jured: George Davis, Thomas Leahy, Enoch Singerly James Toomey, William Schultz, Harry Buchanan and William Davis. All of these men were burned badly about the head, limbs and body, and after the rescuing parties had reached them they were covered with crude black oil used on car axles. This oil to some extent allayed their pain.
 There were two distinct explosions The first was heard by men at the head of the slope, ,and Inside Foreman Leahy, who was at the top, immediately de- scended and was caught by the second explosion. The news spread like wild fire through the Mahoney valley, and in short time the vicinity of the mine slope was crowded with people, mostly women and children. Nearly all of them had fathers. husbands and brothers in the mine, and their cries of distress were heartrending. s It was at first feared that all in the mine had perished, but many came up unhurt or stayed down and helped to look for their more unfortunate com rades. The explosions took place in lift of the East Rock mountain gang way, where some of the victims had been robbing pillars.
 Gilberton colliery is not considered gaseoue mine, but it Is supposed that small body of gas was dislodged and exploded by A blast and that the falling coal from the pillar exposed a larger body that was fired by the explosion of the first No account of the accident could be secured from the miners who were at work at the point, because those who were alive were so badly burned around the, head and mouth that they could not talk.

Quiet at Fall River,

Fall River, Mass, Aug. 24.-The first day of the big shut down of mills here has passed off without disturbance of any kind so far as court relations are concerned. The released operatives were glad to get, away from the con- hnement of the factories. While the present feeling exists between the man. ufacturers who forced the shut down as a result of the meeting of weavers that voted it last Friday night and which now appears likely to remain for , couple of weeks no sensational stories of poverty, oppression or abuse of the rights of capital and labor, will be well founded as far as Fall River is concerned. The help are not Idle because they struck work, the manufacturers have not closed the mills In anger and there the case rests until other developments cause 8 resumption pr an attempt to resume.

 Mills Paid on in Full.
 New Bedford. Mass. Aug. 24.-The ytrike situation has dwindled down to | fight as to who can hold out longer. the operatives or the mill men. Before the board of arbitration left town to- day Mir. Warner tried to get some addi- tional facts from mill managers. but on account of their not being at the mill ( he did not succeed well. He wanted the facts to present at meeting of the board, which will be called together next Monday in Boston to consider the strike. Before he went away he made the statement that the board would be down next week again, and some in- teresting developments are expected.
 The weavers in the Wamsutta mills were paid off this afternoon. The crowds around the mills were orderly ond the situation was discussed. The crowd did not at any time number above 200, and everything was very quiet. No demonstrations or outbreaks were made, and no crowding was done to see who would get their money first. As the weavers passed in the door they were given their check by the overseer of the room, and presenting this to the paymaster they received their envelope containing all the wages due. They were paid for their work by the cut, and all the cloth on the looms was figured In.
 As they passed out of the office a smile of content was on nearly every face, all seeming satisfied with the amount they had received. Nearly every weaver had figured up the amount due him, and in most every case the envelope contained as much as was expected. AS some of them came out one could hear such exclamations as q have three cents more than ex- pected." My envelope contained just the amount I figured" T have five cents more than calculated for"
 The help at the Columbia and How land mills were paid off this afternoon. The card and pickers were cautioned that when they went to work in How land mills not to make any demonstra- tiOn.

PAYING MORE COUNTY WARRANTS
treasurer Lynn Has an Eight Thou
sand Dollar Surplus.

By reason of the receipt of money
from the county collector County
Treasurer Lynn will, on Monday. be
enabled to call in $50 registered war
rants. He yesterday balanced his books
and found that the surplus in the
treasury would permit of the retire
ment of a large batch of the eutstand-
ing county paper and on Monday he will
notify the county court that he is pre-
pared to pay all warrants to and in
Guiding No. $3.50, which means the dis
tribution of $4,000
Even after this payment the floating
debt of the county will be 1920. 900. ali
OF which amount is drawing interest
at the rate of 8 per cent The incoming
county administrati ton will have a very
knotty question to solve and the indi-
cations point to the issue of bonds.
Salt Lake county has no other debt
than the registered warrants and unap-
proved valid claims and her credit is
second to none. Bonds issued by this
county would sell at a high premium.
The people have already twice declared
against the bonding proposition, how
ever, but this did not deter the Re
publican administration from saddling
on a debt of $500, 900 which draws per
cent interest

PEOPLE ARE STANDING FIRM.
Utah Sugar Company Receiving AS
surances of Good Will.

Otsth sugar Company Receiving AS
surances of Good Will.
From all parts of the territory the
Utah Sugar company is now receiving
assurances of the good will of the peo-
pie and promises of substantial back
ing at the hands of the consumers of
the product Of the Lehi factory. 1t is
very evident that the people have thor
oughly awakened to the danger in
which one of the territory's most i'm
portant industries is placed and they
have determined to do all in their
power TO thwart the evil designs of the
Sugar trust in its attack upon the beet
sugar industry of Utah
No changes were made in the price
of the staple yesterday and iobbers are
still selling by the sack for cash at
$500. The directors of the Utah COM
pany have decided to meet no more
cuts made by the local agents of the
trust, and will trust to the loyalty of
the people of the territory, which will
not be found wanting. At $5S715 the
local company can barely make both
ends meet, while paying So per ton for
beets, and through the cuts which have
been made by the trust it has already
lost IN the neighborhood of $751; Su-
perintendent Weber of lions Coopera-
tive Mercantile institution, stated yes
terdaY that practically all of the orders
now received by the institution call for
Utah sugar and many of the customers
nave shown a willingness to pay even
a higher price for the home manufac-
tured article should such a course be
desirable. The gentleman is of the
opinion that while the majority of the
people of the territory would be willing
to pay more for Utah sugar than for
bne imported article, there are many
who would still continue to aid the
trust in its efforts to destroy the in.
dustry now being built UP.

YALE KENT CLUB.
j. S. Peery's Speech Delivered in the
Recent Debate,

At recent meeting of the Yale Kent
club, the subject was, Resolved, That
the Democratic party is responsible TO,
the recent financial depression in the
United STATES
Affirmative-Smith 90; Hall, SO.
Negative-Peery, 95; Fitzpatrick, SO.
]. S. PEERY's SPEECH.
Mr.. President and gentlemen of the
Kent club:
The question for debate maintains
that the Democratic party is entirely
the cause of the financial depression
doubt whether the most partisan Re-
publican politician would make this
broad claim. We maintain that the
hard times are the result of a combina.
ton of causes; first, periodicity OF
panics; second, immense extension OF
the credit system; third, eXtrava gance
of the people; fourth, conspiracy OF
Spectators; fifth, Barring Bros failure
sixth, Republican misrule. If the af-
firmative speakers will turn back to
their lesson in Walkers Political Econo-
my, page 1T, they will remember that
the writers on finance have set every
ten years for the coming of a panic.
You are all familiar with the panic OF
1910, one OI The InOSI IerTlDle IN the
history Of our country; also that of 1885
when there were 9,1S4 failures, and, as
you know, the panic came again in
1893.
Mr.. Walker quotes approvingly from
Professor Marshall who, in lucid terms,
gives the history of panic He tells
of the beginning of rising credit being a
series of good harvests. The demand
for goods increases. Producers and
employers pay good prices for labor,
New companies start up, credit is jubi-
liant. Prices, wages and profits go on
rising. A large amount of business is
being carried on with borrowed money.
Old firms are borrowing in order to
extend their business; new firms are
borrowing in order to start their busi-
ness, and spectators are borrowing in
order TO buy and hold goods. Trade is
in a dangerous. condition. The lenders
are the first to read the signs OF the
times. They begin to contract their
loans, and the demand for more loans
raises the rate of interest very high.
Distress increases; spectators begin to
sell to pay their debts; all rush in to
sell. Prices fall. A large Speculation
cannot borrow money and fails. Fail
ure breeds failure. The commercial
storm comes. Lord Overstone con-

MoNuMENT no GRANT.

San Francisco, Cal, Nov.S.-At last San
Francisco is to have monument to Cen
erai U. S. Grant. Though the Grant mon
ument committee has been in existence
small fraction OF the hundred thousand
dollars desired was subscribed. The
money collected would have been return
ed TO the subscribers, had not the SUBJ
scription books been lost. Recently three
members Of the original committee de-
cided to proceed with the erection of the
monument, personally increasing the SUBJ
scription to a suitable sum. Rupert
Schmidt, San Francisco, is the only sculp-
tor who modelled Grant from life, having
made a bust OF the ex-president few
weeks prior to his death. This bust is
now at the Grant tomb in Riverside Park,
New York. To Schmidt has been en-
trusted the task OF preparing a design
for the monument and he has gone to
New York to copy the bust at Riverside
Park. The monument will be of granite
and bronze and will be erected in Golden
Gate park.
