person or persons guilty of the crime
of arson within the town of Princeton.

them were of inceEdiary origin. Private
detectives are at work there now.

IN A DEATH TRAP.
Scores of Mexican Miners Crushed to Death
in a Silver Mine.

IN SILVER Mine.
Chihuahua, Mexico, April 25.-The
most terrible mining disaster that has
ever occurred in Northern Mexico
happened Thursday afternoon at the
Vieja mine, about twelve miles from
this city, in the Santa Eulalia district.
The mine is very rich silver mine.
and has been worked for the last
hundred years. The roof of the mine
has been supported by great pillars
OF ore, and few weeks ago President
Prieto, the owner, began taking out
these supports. Prieto urged the
miners, who are Mexicans, to con.
tinue at work in spite of protests, it
is said, and the terrible accident re.
suited. Eighty-five men were at
work when the cavern occurred. Of
these eighteen escaped, sixty-seven
were buried, and of these thirty seven
have been taken out, seven of whom
are dead and thirty seriously crushed
and many will die. There is very
little chance of recovering alive the
thirty men yet under the earth. The
Governor left here to-day for the
scene

Fell From a House Top.

J. A. Ewing, Trenton carpenter,
fell from the top of the new Bradley
house at Guthrie last Thursday, sus,
tanning serious injuries. He was
knocked senseless and did not regain
consciousness for several hours. 1t is
not thought that his injuries will re.
suit fatally, however.

Democrats with a recollection of
the dreadful Republican landslide of
last fall may not believe it until it is
proved, but it is fact that the Dem.
ocratic vote for Hardin in 1895 ex-
ceeded that for Cleveland in 1892 in
twenty-seven counties. Those which
had the largest vote in 1895 have their
delegate vote increased as follows, one
delegate being allowed for each 200
and fraction over 10l votes cast: Al
len, /; Anderson, /; Barren, /; Bour.
bon, l; Boyd, /; Bracken, 1;Breathitt,
|; Caldwell, l; Carter, 2; Clay, Gray
son l; Greenup, /; Jessamine, l; La
rue, 2; Lincoln, |; Marion, l; Menifee,
|; Metcalfe, l; Nelson, J. Ohio, l;
Pike, ]; Scott, l; Spencer, |; Taylor,
|; Trigg, |; Warren, 2, and Wood
ford, 2. Total 81.
Those which get an increase by
taking the 1892 basis are forty one in
number, as follows:
Ballard, l; Bell, /; Breckenridge, 2;
Campbell, 5; Carlisle, l; Carroll, l;
Crittenden, 2; Cumberland, l; Dav-
less, 3; Edmonson, 2; Fayette, 8;
Fleming, /; Fulton, l; Graves, 2; |
Green, /; Hancock, l; Henderson, 4;
Hickman, 2; jefferson, 26; Laurel, l;
Livingston, |; Logan, /; Lyon, /;
Madison, /; Marshall, /; Mason, 2;
McCracken, 2; Mclean, l; Meade, /;
Mercer, |; Muhlenberg, l; Owen, 2;
Pendletou, / Pulaski, 3; Robertson, l.; |!
Rockcastle, l; Rowan, |; Russell, l.;
/; Union, 2; Webster, l. |
Total 81.
Thus it will be seen that the double
basis gives no advantage on either
side, for the delegate vote, while in
creased twenty-six in Louisville, is
Offset by similar increases in silver
sections of the State.

NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-The feature
of the speculation in stocks today was
change of front by an important in
terest that is prominently identified
with the manipulation of Sugar stock
and has recently upheld the long side
of the market. The change immediate
1y accumulated the bearish proclivities
of the rank and file of the professional
dealers. OF actual news bearing upon
values, there was none to speak of, ex-
cepting an easier tendency in the for
eign exchange market and an advance
in the afternoon in rates of call money
to per cent. The inevitable rate cut
ting news came and the board room
scalpers enlivened the dullness of the
early afternoon operations by an ex-
travagant rumor of active hostilities
having been begun in the Levant. The
day was interspersed with periods of
practical stagnation and the trading
which was quite limited in volume, was
centered in about four stocks, Sugar,
st. Paul, Burlington and Tobacco
The first mentioned overshadowed any
other individual stock in point of ar-
tivfty and its course, as previously
noted, to considerable extent in

heretofore. but the transfers through
the sub-treasury fell off considerably,
only $4,000 being forwarded. The

for greenbacks. Although the market
