partment of Saone ct Loire. Fifty per-
sons are believed to have been killed.
Fire broke out yesterday in the Steug

miners. a rescue party, thus far, reCoV-
cred tWenty-one bodies and removed from
the ruins eight terribly injured miners.
The work Of rescuing the living and re-
covering the bodies of the dead is greatly
impeded owing to the fact that the ex-
pl0sion caused the workings to collapse,
filling the galleries with tons of rock and
earth and great quantities of timber that
had been used for supports. The wound
ed are in a terrible condition, their flesh
being frightfully torn. They suffered the
most eXcruciating agony, and as they
We're removed from the pit their groans
caused the hardest of the miners who
heard them to shudder. The mouth Of
the pit is surrounded by Wailing women

fathers are entombed in the mine.

Against hallway Company.

Verdict for One Cent and Costs
Against u Hallway Company.
OWensboro. KY, Feb. 4.-Under
peremptory instructions from Judge
Barr today the jury in the federal court
found a verdict for one cent and costs
against the Louisville & Nashville
Railroad company in the separate
coach case. The suit was brought by
Rev. w. H Anderson, colored, of
Evansville. Ind, for $4,000. but was
really to test the separate coach law
of kentucky. Judge Barr decided last
summer that the law was unconstitu-
tional because it affected Interstate
commerce. The railroad company then
contended that it had rule requiring
separation of white and colored pas
sengers aside from the law mentioned,
and asserted that the rule was a
reasonable one. Upon this the issue
was joined and the verdict rendered.
Judge Bars instructions left the
Jury only TO determine the amount of
damages.
Immediately upon the verdict the at
torneys for the railroad gave notice of
an appeal to the Supreme Courqaof the
United States. N

LabOrerss
Rutland, VT. Feb. 4.-Sherif Pea
body, of this county. last night re-
ceived a telegram notice from West
Paroldis, on the border Of New York

first train for the scene Of the trouble.

one of the Welshmen on strike was
brutally assaulted the night before and
ridden on a rail to Granville, N. Y.
four miles away, by a gang and rep
etition was threatened on other work
men. The trouble was due to a contro-
Yersy the Welsh skaters had with the
companies, owing to an arrangement
made to retain fifty cents a month for
physicians services. The men wanted
to terminate the arrangement and all
the companies did SO except the Nelson
and Rising company. The men then
struck and declared war on those who
took their places.

1T WAS A CRUEL HOAX.
An Advertisement That Tore Mems
Heart-strfngs FruftIessIy. =
New York World1

Some one perpetrated cruel hoax
on the unemployed yesterday by adj
vertising for 100 statesmen, promising
good salaries and instructing appli-
cants to call personally Saturday or
Sunday on Mr.. Robert C. Brown. at
the GiIsey house. Early in the morn
ing men out of work hurried from all
quarters of the city to the famous
hosiery to IeaSn that Mr.. Brown
knew nothing Of the advertisement.
The hotel corridor was crowded with
applicants for positions. It was as
pftiful a sight as a ffend could wish to
see. The eager men coming in would
not believe the crestfallep going out
that it was cruel joke.
Fellows who had spent their Rst
change for shaves, shines and Gar
fare trudged hOmeward with their last
hope gone. Some of the applicants
wept, while others sighed and tQrMd
away in despair. The greater namT6r
of the men were neat and clean,
though their clothes were thTeadbare.
Many of the faces were pale and
drawn with hunger, while their eyes
were feveTishly bright. Their frightful
disappointment was heartrendins. The
clerks al the Gi-sey house, though
greatly annoyed with the rush, were
patient and polite to the applicants.
Mr.. Brown said that he could not
imagine who could have been guilty
of the outrage, as he knew of no ac-
quafntance fool enough to insert an
advertisement that would create 50
much hope, knowing that it must end
in misery.

THAT Peace Commission.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 4.-The
Japanese legation today received a
cablegram from the Home foreign Of
ice giving the following explanation of
the Chinese peace commission.
At the meeting of the plenipoten-
taries Of the Japanese and Chinese on
the 22nd, Count Ito, in an address to
the Chinese plenipotentaries pointed
out to them the effectiveness and in
sufficiency of their powers. He gave
them positive assurance, however, that
whenever China manifested a serious
desire for peace by confiding actual
and full powers to Chinese officials of
such a nature and scope as would
render it certain that the terms which
might be agreed upon would be con-
frmed by the Chinese government and
would be actually carried out in good
faith, Japan would be prepared to enter
upon new negotiations.

TOO MUCu NEw wO9IAY.

Commenting on the number Of new
novels that have the new woman for
a theme, the Literary Lounger in the
London Sketch remarks that the nov
elists are doing their best to make US
abhor the woman" We shall abhor
the thing itself, he says, if they go on
in their present fashion. But they are
as a whole, sensitive to a revulsiOn Of
feeling on the part of the public and
perhaps may be trusted to change
their subject and their tone, and 50
prevent a reaction that would mean a
run of fiction with the Women's parts
omitted altogether. The end Of the
new woman novels is probably to DE
seen in their rapidly increasing Mum
Der as well as in the fact that they
have got into particularly unskillful
hands.

Washington, Feb. A spirit of seren-
