Raleigh. y. c., Dec. 1S.-At O'Clock
this morning, shortly after the day
force, numbering sixty-seven men, had
gone on duty at the Cumnock coal
mines. six miles west Of here, a terrible
fire damp explosion occurred with fatal
effects Upon hearing the report, the
people OF the village and relatives Of
the entombed miners fastened TO the
scene, but for some time they Were I'M
able to gain any tfdings from below.
After pumping fresh air into the shafts
several miners Were prevailed upon 10
venture down and investigate. They
found and brought out twenty-five men
from shaft Nos. , and 8 Five or six
of them We're badly wounded and some
OF them will probably die. Others were
slightly wounded. mule and two men
were killed in slope No. >
After considerable delay the search
Ing party entered slope No. l. where
they We're greeted by a most horrible
and CHASTITY sight. Dead men fearfully
mutilated We're found. some of them
partly covered with pieces OF coal, tim
Der and other debris.
BODIES NOT RECOVERED.
The searching party came I'D and re-
"A
O'Clock ten or twelve miners went down
TO bring UP the dead bodies but at last
accounts none OF the dead had been re-
covered. II is believed that forty-three
men were killed. Several Of them were
negroes and foreigner. Several of them
had families living at Cumnock A
quantity of dynamite was IN the mine
and exploded, wrecking coal cars and
splitting massive pieces OF timber into
kindling wood. Mothers, wives and sis
tiers were around the mines all day,
weeping and wringing their hands with
grief, expecting every minute TO see the
lifelesS form of some loved one brought
UP.
Up 10 IL o'clock tonight but twenty
FOUR of the SiXty-seven men who went
down in the shaft have returned The
other Iorty-three are supposed TO be
dead, but the names of some of them
are unknown. So much afterAdamp
has been in the shaft all day that no
efforts have been made TO get the bodies
to the top. It is thought that the bodies
can be rescued a about 1 O'Clock to-
night. The scene is indeed pitiful one.
Six of tne twenty-four who came back
from the shaft are more or less wound

them may die. Two men who escaped

In discussing the granting of
franchises generally the Los An
geles Journal hits the nail square
on the head when it says;
"Our method Of granting fran
chises to everybody applying for
them, for all sorts of purposes, is
open to severe criticism. For
trihing sums the most valuable
rights are accorded for terms of
twenty to fifty years. A change
should be made whereby the mu-
nicipality or county shall get a
percentage of the gross revenues
derived by all such semi-pubIic
enterprises rs lighting, heating
and transportation companies. As
it is, these privileges are granted
for practically nothing, and in a
very few years the franchises be-
come valuable property.

decrease in receipts. Expenditures
for the month show an apparent
decrease Of $15S3.64, but if the
soldiers pay day had not been
passed there would be an increase
of probably $1,000. This year
the September expenditures
were 1873, 072.25, as against
Sl39 ,655, SO last year. Treasury
notes were redeemed last month
to the amount of $4,000, an item
that does not appear in the ac-
counts of the previous September.
Expenditures under the loan act
were $4266 "a less this year than
Iast for The month named. Inter
est paid was about the same in
both years. not far from $500 in
round numbers. The Attorney
Generals department got away
with $S0S9.55 more than
last year, while the Board
of Education had to be content
with $SSO2.2O less. Public Works
took $13, 3S0.29 this year, as
against SS5S2.l0 last year, and
the Board of Health shows an
increase in expense of about
$4,000. There is falling off in
the road tax on special deposit of
S6406, the amount now being
1885,.
Receipts show a falling off in
nearly every department, the
exceptions being an increase
from water of S1232.6O, and from
the Registry Office Of Sl36.50.
The total receipts were 1886, 653.-
l3 for 1894 and $194 ,O23 ,6S for
1895, a decrease of $142 ,629.45.
Taxes yielded 1902 81 last
month, drop Of more than $l5,-
600 from the corresponding month
last year. Government bonds OF
$4,000 were sold, being $4,000 less
than the sales of September, 1894.
The net loan indebtedness is
/ now 1924 ,349 80, an increase of
$192 1920. This is rather rapid
progress the wrong way. There
are unpaid bills of SOL ,361. OIL for
June, S2O,139.S 50 for July and
1913 1885, for August, making a
total of S95 ,079. so, with Septem-
Der not mentioned. Minister
Damon in foot note re-
fers to the quarantine to prevent
the spread of cholera to the other
districts, saying that, "if one case
should be introduced among plan
tItious and country villages, no
subsequent effort of the Board
could ever rectify the mistake.
Disaster to our main industry
would be the only record" The
Minister then informs the public
that, to meet the expenses of the
Board of Health and a portion of
the pay roll, the Executive Coun-
Gil have drawn on Bishop & Co.
for the Board of Health to the
amount of SIT 1884 10 and for cur.
rent account to the amount OF
$20,3l5.90 total of $37 900.
This sum will be repaid
from checks given on that firm for
taxes during the month of Deem
Der next, with interest at the rate
of six per cent. per annum."

Timely Topics

Judge Ogden OF Oakland
recently gave a young married
woman some good advice when
he refused to grant her a
divorce. The couple had been
married three years and were
quite young, but they evident
~ got along about as well as
most married people do. How
ever, the young woman thought
she ought to have a divorce
and filed a complaint against
her husband alleging cruelty.
The specific facts set forth
were that her husband fire.
quently slapped her, whether
playfully or not the complaint
does not state, and that once
he spoke Grossly to her. This,
however, was while the huS-
band was putting up a stove,
and therefore cannot be Won
dered at. On another occasion
the young wife says her hus-
band threatened her, but in
answer to the Judge she ex-
planned he had only told her
the proper thing to bring her
under subsection would be to
raise a family. But this poor
husbands greatest offenSe lay
in his feet. He had big ones
according to his wife, and on
one occasion he had the auda-
CITY to place them in her lap,
and she said, "he had his boots
off,"
In refusing to grant a divorce
on such trivial testimony Judge
Ogden gave the wife a little
fatherly lecture. " You can
hardly expect the court to grant
you a divorce upon such teSti-
mony. If we were to grant
you a divorce upon that show
ing there would not be a
couple in Oakland that would
not be entitled to a divorce. 1t
is impossible to find human
nature that is ideally perfect.
There are many little imper-
fections that education and IS
ISOLATION will smooth off, and
married people must exercise
forbearanCe and patience. In
stead of widening the breach
close it up. A young couple
such as you are will find mar
ried life a very happy existence
if you will return to your home
and not do just what you have
been doing heretofore"
That Oakland Judge had
some sense, indeed it is ap-
parent that his wisdom arose
from experience. 1t is a pity
there are not more like him. If
there were there would be
fewer divorces and more hap
py homes. What is home
without a mother-in-law and
the privilege of putting your
feet on your wife's lap without
putting your boots on first.
All of which reminds us Of
another little story. By the
steamer Australia we have re-
ceived one of the largest con-
signmentS of hardware ever
