TACOMA, Wash, Aug. 25.-Thirty-
seven miners of mixed natlonaIities
were killed Friday afternoon by an
explosion in the Oregon Improvement
company's coal mine at Franklin,
King county, 80 miles southeast of
Seattle. The miners were trying TO
save the mines from destruction by
fire when the explosion occurred.
Those who rushed to the gang7vay
when the fire was discovered escaped.
Franklin IS a coal mining town on
the west slope Of the Cascade noun
tains, and the usual heartrendiug
scenes We're enacted about the en-
trance of the mines when a list Of the
killed and missing miners was made
out This IS the mining district in.o
which colored eastern miners were
brought two years ago, resulting in a
running fight with the strikers and
several deaths. Negro and Swede
miners predominant among those
killed. Most of them have families.
The Mine Takes Fire.
At l2:45 a. m. a fire was announced
by some of the drivers on the sixth
north level and notice was given to
the men inside, who were working in
different places, some n the breast
about the level and others along the
gangway, as soon as il was known
there was fire.
Many OF the men in the gangways,
suspecting what was coming, rushed
back to notify the miners further in
that fire was 1rning, while Others
rushed out and reached the main shaft.
1t is certain that all the men in the
breast reached the gangway in safety.
In all about seventy men were at
work in the sixth level north. and of
that number about forty fingered
at breast 81 where the fire originated,
and made an attempt to put ont the
fire. The breast was burning fiercely.
and before the'miners knew il the fire
had communicated to breasts &C and
OIL and smoke began TO issue rom
breast 81 in that immediate vicinity.
Several of those who fingered at the
burning breast 50 took warning and
fed, but all who remained were over
come and asphyxiated.
All the Bodies Recovered.
At o'clock the last of the thirty
seven bodies was recovered and then
the people began to quiet down Many
of them were completely Frustrated
with their violent grief and devoted
their time to methodically caring for
the dead. The origin of the freing

But Justice Gray, i'll an opinion rendered

DESTROYED or Injured-Burnes Il
Out Three Tiines-They Will
Rebuild

NEW YORK. May li.-Rev. 7. Dewitt
Talmagc's beautiful new tabernacle at
the corner of Clinton and Greene
avenues, Brooklyn, was destroyed by
fire yesterday afternoon. Flames broke
out i'll the church edilicc lust after those
who had attended the morning service
had left the building. Not only was the
church destroyed, but the near by hotel
and number of buildings we're also
greatly damaged.
This is the third time that the Tai
mage tabernacle has been destroycn by
ilte. BY singular coincidence each fire
occurred on Sunday. DR.. Talmagc
was in the church shaking hands with Il
number of people when flames burst
from the organ. The fire spread
with lightning like rapidity and
the sparks flew in all directions.
The interior OF the church was a sccth-
ing, roaring mass of flames inside Of 80
minutes after the fire was discovered,
and at O'Clock the root and the hand
some stecple had fallen in Great lets OF
flames Shot across to the Hotel Regent
next to the church on Clinton avenue.
Before he employees gave the alarm they
attempted to get it under control. The
hire soon spread up to the third and
fourth floors, however, and the guests
and servants rushed pcllmell into the
street. The tircmcn then devoted their
efforts to saving surrounding property.
The Tabernacle and Hotel Regent were
completely guttcd. Nothing remains
but the walls. The total loss is csti-
mated a little over million dollars. The
loss to the Hotel Regent, including the
building. paintings and the guests house
hold goods, will amount to about 5000
600. The loss on the Tabernacle is
about $lO0, 600 and the adjoining build
ings are reported to be damaged to the
extent OF $4,000. 1t is said that the
hotel was insured for 100000. 1t is
supposed the fife was caused bv a spark
from one OF the electric light wires be
hind the organ.
The Tabernacle was insured for $50,
900. The board OF trustees of the Tab
ernacle held a meeting in the house OF
lDr. Tamage, at which it was decided to
rebuild the Tabernacle. The trustees say
that DR.. Talmagc is to start on his trip
around the world as first intended to-
morrow.
The trustees prepared a letter to Dr..
Talmage asking him If he would accept
the rastoratc OF a new Tabernacle il it
was built free from debt, and he replied
that he would do so. The trustees eX-
pect to have Il new Tabernacle built in a
year free from all ncumbrauccs.

WASHINGTON, May 1.-The ordinance
passed by the City of Charleston under
an act of the legislature of South Caro-
lima by which the Postal Telegraph
company was complied to pay yearly
license of $500 for business done cxclu-
siveIy in that city is valid and the license

the Supreme court Of the United States
announced today by Justice Shiras. The
decision affirmed the Judgment of the CIR
cult court of the United States tor the

ustcc Harlan announced his dissent
on the ground that as the telegraph
company did not do business exclusively
within the city of Charleston and the
license was a tax upon a foreign corpor-
alton assessed for the purpose of adding
to the revenue of the city, it was in effect
tax on interstate commerce.

An Allegation That Must he All
SNyere0

NEW loRK, May l4.-Thc rrcss, Re
publican, this morning prints a full page
article under a Washington date, which,
it claims, is the history Of the compro-
mise tariff bill introduced in the Senate
last Monday, being "full and true ac-
count OF the Democratic surrender to the
great trust" The article states that
the sugar trust not only paid
100000 for the legislation it
wants, but also guaranteed United
States Senators who speculate rise of
several points in Wall street on sugar
trust stock 1t is alleged by the Press
that midnight conferences were held be-
tween Senators and sugar trust officers
within a stones throw of the White
House. 1t is also alleged that the Stand
ard oil, lead and whiskey trusts were
cared for in the same way.

THERE WAS CONTRACT.
Ana The state of Tennessee VIC
lated Ii,The Court Says

WAsnNGro>, May 14.--Thc Tcnncs-
see law, which the officials of that State
contend authorizes them to tax the prop
erty Of the Mobile and Ohio railroad
company for the years 1850, inclusive,
was declared by the Supreme court of the
United Statestoday, in an opinion read by
usticc Jackson, to be invalid as far as
was chartered by the State OF Tennessee
i'll ISIS with a provision cxempting its
capital stock from taxation and its
property for a period of % years from
its completion, aGd that no tax should
be levied which would reduce the div,
dcnd below eight per cent per anuum.
The Supreme court decided that the
taxes for 1855 and 1856 could not be
collected because they were within the
period of 20 years years subsequent to
completion, but that for the subsequent
years the taxes were properly laid and
should be collected.
The railroad company appealed on the
ground OF violation OF contract and the
State officials set upa want oijurisdiction
by the Supreme court OF the United
States. The latter point, Justice Jackson
said, the Supreme court of the United
States over-rulel. AS to the qucs-
ton, Did the exemption clause in the
company's charter violate that section
of the constitution OF Tennessee which
requires all property to be taxed the
opinion is that said legislature had
power to exempt the property under
consideration. The eight per cent, pro
vision, Justice Jackson finds, constituted
a contract between the corporation and
State which the law i'll question contra
vcned. The judgment of the Supreme
court of Tennessee is therefore reversed.
