FIVE LIVES GONE.
Another Gas Explosion With Fatal Re
suits in the Wyoming Region.

An explosion of gas took place at the
Dorrance shaft in the Wyoming region
on Monday, by which five men were
killed and four others more or less seri-
ously burned. The dead are: William
Jones, surveyor; William Cahill, survey
or; Llcwellyn Owens, surveyor; David j.
Davis, fire boss, and Michael Morris
The injured are: George Laphey, Ed
ward Murphy, Robert Blanchard and
Robert Miller. just what caused the
explosion cannot be learned. Early in
the day an engineering corps, under
charge of William Jones, went down the
shaft to run some lines. Nothing was
heard from the party until about Ais
o'clock, when the men on the surface
were startled by a shock that made the
earth tremble, and which came with
such force that the roof of the fan house
was hurled to the ground and large
clouds of dust lioated up out of the air
shaft. Nothing more was needed to tell
the mine experts that something had
happened, and soon men and boys came
swarming to the surface as fast as the
swift running carriages could hoist
them.
1t was fully an hour after the cXplo-
sion before any of the injured reached
the surface. Some of the men were
badly burned. Their clothing was in
shreds, while their hands and faces pre-
sented revolving spectacle. Even the
CRIME of the coal could not conceal the
work of the deadly flame or the rush of
the merciless whirlwind that followed in
it's wake.
The explosion occurred nearly half
mile from the foot of the shaft. In the
absence of any definite information from
the officials, who refused to speak, it
was learned from other sources that the
gas was set off by the party of mining
engineers, who were surveying in that
vicinity. The havoc wrought by the
explosion was tremendous.
The coliery is operated by the Lehigh
and Wilkesbarre Company, The work
ings have been sunk fourteen years, and
from the opening of the colliery it has
been one of the most gaseous in the an
thracite coal field. Several serious cX-
plosions have occurred in the colliery,
some during the sinking operations, but
luckily it was time when there were
not many men in the mine. The last
explosion occurred two years ago, when
uperntendent William Samuels. who
was making IA tour of the workings, set
off the gas, and was not found for sew
eral days.

fore Judges Rice and Lynch, who decd-
ed that the land could not be purchased

Of the best in the anthracite coal fields,
Last week the mammoth mine worked
full time, ten hours each day, and during
the week hoisted 5000 cars of coal for
the week ending October 5. That will
mean 10000 tons of clean coal. This
output could be kept up continually if
the shaft worked full time.

Tho Superior Court TangIe.

The disputed question as to the con-
stitutional right of a voter to vote for
seven candidates for the new superior
court is at last in fair way of being
iudicially determined in time for the
coming election. Senator Quay, having
received numerous letters with opinion S
concurring with that expressed by At
torney Olmstead, which was published
recently in the TRIBUNE, addressed a
letter to General Reeder, secretary of
the commonwealth, asking him to pre-
scribe the form of the ballot and give
that he did not deem it within his PROV
ince to pass upon the constitutional
question involved, and would have to
prepare the ballot in accordance with
the terms of the act, which limits each
elector to the privilege of voting but for
six, although seven are to be elected
Chairman Quay then instructed Mr.
Olmstead to make application to Attor-
ncy General Mccormick to take such
action in the name of the commonwealth
as will result in the speedy judicial de-
termination of the question. The ap
pIicaton was allowed by the attorney
general, and proceedings by mandamus
upon Secretary Reeder will be commen.
ccd forthwith.
James A. Stranahan, late chairman
of the Democratic state committee, has
been retained by the secretary of the
commonwealth as his counsel.

There is more catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it a local disease, and prescrib-
ell local remedies, and by constantly
failing to cure with local treatment, pro-
nounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease and therefore requires corstitu-
tional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. 1t is taken in
ternally in doses from ten drops to a
teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on the
blood and mucous surfaces of the sys-
tenn. They offer one hundred dollars
for any case it fails to cure. Send for
circulars and testimonials. Address.

HOW WOMEN DRIVE
MEN TO DRINK.

"Intemperance is a disease eau
sed by a lack of nourishing food"
said a lady, whose opinion is valu-
able, not long since. While not
prepared to accept the statement
literally, yet all must admit-it con- !
tains a largo modicum of truth.
Hereditary appetite, as we'll as a
cultivated one, for strong drink
must be regarded as an important
element in the intempersnce of
the present age, together with the
nervous strain and high tension of
modern life and it's avocations.
The waste in physical force and
the exhaustion in nervous energy
consequent upon the conditions of
toll in this age, require prompt
and judicial reinforcement in the
way of material sustensnce, if the
toiler is to be saved from the dan
gerous expedient of arti6cially
stimulating his tagging physical
and mental powers. Nourishing
wholesome food, properly and ap-
petizingly prepared, is a great
weapon in the hands of the wo-
man who could combat the foe to
her home and it's happiness. Make
the dress more plainly or buy a
simpler bonnet, for the sake OF
the fresh fruit upon the breakfast
table, OF the superior quality of
the roast or soup for dinner, and
the self denial will be rich in re-
suits. Simplicity, variety and
cleanliness, are within the reach
|uf the slenderest purse, and the
absolutely essential to that nutri.
|tion and stimulation which are te
supplant the artificial force which
alcohol is so often largely called
upon to produce. The daintily
prepared fish, the simple omelette
the nicely broiled steak or chop
nourishing broths and healthy We
getables leave little room for re
course to provide stimulus TO
physical needs. Some young wo
men preparing for matrimon!
seem to think man can dine Of
Beethoven sonata or sup on q era
zy quilt or a decorated coal sho
vel. But aesthetics and dietetic
have each their place and of th
two the latter is the most import
ant. The women who neglect
are faithless in their duty to hom
= and criminslly responsible whe
husbands and sons are driven {
seek nourishment elsewhere.-A

And sure enough, there was
Hall standing on the steamers
deck dressed in riding costume.
His moustache was shaven and his
looks otherwise changed but there
was no mistake as TO his identity.
'I'm glad 10 be back" said Jack
with mock gravity. Il got tired Of
Maui and Hawaii and came back
with a friend who claims the dis
tinction OF being the crack police
man on the Kailua force"
you see, it was this way. 1

But no, | couldn't stand it, l pinned

Sam HaaniO, the native police

Hall we received a telephone mes /
sage from Sheriff Yates at Waio-
hinu saying that there was much
wanted man aboard that steamer. /.
1t seems that Hall had been to Kau .

stateroom. | was sent down with
prisoner. He gave the name of

KIDNEY THIEF KILLED.
Dog Gets a Butcher Knife in His
Side.

a warrant was sworn out by
George Holt yesterday for the ar
rest of Manu-, a native boy in the
employ OF the Metropolitan Meat
Market, at their slaughter house.
Manu- is charged with maliciOusly
killing a dog, the property of the
complainant. The circumstances
under which the dog was killed
are worthy of mention, as they
show that the native boy did about
the same thing as any one else
would have done. Manu- was en-
gagged in cleaning some kidneys.
a large red dog came along, picked
up one of the tempting morsels and
started for the street. Manu- cried
to the dog and the animal dropped
the kidney, only to take a bite out
of it as he proceeded. Manu-, see
ing that there was no chance OF
stopping the animal, hurled the
butcher knife which he held in his
hand. The craftsmanship was
good, and the blade of the knife
struck the side OF the dog in the
region OF the intestines. There
were a number of bowls, a few ex-
piring gasps, and the kidney thief
had gone to the happy hunting
grounds. Manu- was naturally
very much frightened when he saw
what ne had done, and was as
much surprised as frightened when
he found a policeman with a war
rant after him. The dog Is valued
at $50.
