Berwind-White shaft in the eastern
limits of this city eighteen men went
on at o'clock this morning, fourteen

happened and that they should get
out as soon as they could. When the
party reached the foot of the shaft

were hurriedly taken up in the cage.
Assistance was Immediately sum

AS the work proceeded it was found

that some of the bodies had been mu-
tilated almost beyond recognition.
Nearly all Of the bodies had been re-
covered at p. m, but up to that time
they had only been brought to the
foot of the shaft where they were col
lected preparatory to being hoisted to
the surface.

The recent combination of coal COM
panies to advance the price of coal and
SO limit production has stirred up a
good deal of opposition to trusts in
general. The legislatures Of New York
and of New Jersey both took the matter
in hand, and are trying to find out what
they can do about it. The latter legis-
lature tried to delegate authority to the
encouragement Of the state to inves-
tigate the matter and bring action. The
latter refused to accept the trust, as he
said it was contrary to the constitution
of the state for the legislature to at
tempt to delegate its powers. He, how
ever, proposed a law that would give the
commissioner OF states attorney power
to compel the attendance Of witnesses.
The people are thoroughly awake to the
present power Of the trusts. The lat
ter are mightier today than ever be-
fore. This is a sign propitious for the
future. Their very power is raising up
for them a host Of enemies who are
being gradually drawn together in a
common resistance. The abuse Of
power sooner or later leads to the over.
throw Of that power. No one will cues.

mower. That their dissolution will fol.

FIERY SPANISH PAPERS
The Leading Madrid Papers Indulge in
Heated Editorials.

MADRID, March 24.-La Epoca, the
leading ministerial organ in this city,
says to-day in the course of a fiery ed
itorial: AN exhaustive examination
OF the accounts published by the lead
ing American newspapers of the de-
bates in Congress SHOWS that, setting
aside hypocrisy, the real issue, as some
Senators point out, is whether the
United States can take possession of
Cuba or not. If they can, why, let
them declare war against us; let
them set their fleets in motion and
send them to Cuba. They need not
doubt that we will receive them as it
behooves us to do. If they cannot
declare war, then, as the most honor
able members of Congress have said,
let these debates ease, and let Spain
govern herself with the liberty she is
entitled to. and which nobody can
limit. Anything is better than to go
On threatening and hiding under the
veil of jingoism the no longer fashion
able and nov well known intentions
OF those whose aspiration is the indie
pendence Of Cuba, in order to obtain
its annexation afterwards"
The Heraldo says: Spain could
never officially recognize a United
States commission of inquiry into
Cuban affairs. 1t is impossible that
President Cleveland should have such
an idea. War between Spain and
America would be preferable. Spain
N former times has accepted the con-
sequences of more terrible struggles
than would be a war with the United
States, and we should prefer to risk a
war to recognizing the commission"
Almost all Of the newspapers here
pretend to regard as unfounded the
rumor that President Cleveland will
appoint a Cuban commission and echo
the sentiment of the Heraldo on the
subject. No official intination of such
a commission has reached here.

MBSDRAYTONGEFI''TlS'I 1T
DAUGHTER OF WILLIAM
ASTOR DIVORCED.
Evidence Not Public-Drayton Too Slow
With His Charges Of Unfaithfulness-
Desertion the Popular Plea with the
-Four Hundred.

TRENTON, N. j., March 24.-Chan.
cellor Mctiill today fled a decree
granting an absolute divorce to
Mrs. Charlotte Aston Drayton, nee
Aston, from j. Coleman Drayton. on
the ground of desertion. None of the
evidence taken in the case is on file in
the chancery clerks Office, all being in
the possession of the chancellor.
In the beginning the decree says:
cit is impossible to escape the convic-
ton that the defendants suspicious of
his wife's infdelity were not destitute
of foundation in questionable circum-
stances at least, but / fail to find any
judicial precedent which holds that
under a statute similar to that Of this
state. q husband may with impunity
be guilty of desertion of his wife,
merely because he believes her, even
under gravely suspicious circumstan-
ces, to have been guilty of adultery.
"Desertion,n the chancellor holds,
"is justified only when it is shown by
clear and satisfactory proof that the
DESERVING party has been so offended
against as to authorize at his instance
a decree for divorce or judicial separ-
alton. If the defendant would rely
upon his charge of adultery as a de-
Tense against her charge of desertion,
he must prove it.
There is no evidence" the decree
goes on, that it was the intention of
the defendant at the time he left the
petitioner to institute a suit for di-
vorce on the ground of adultery. He
did, in fact, commence such a salt in
June, 1894, a time SO remote from the
commencement of the separation that
more than the period prescribed by
law in which desertion must continue
to constitute a cause for divorce had
interviewed and thereby a cause for di-
vorce had become available to her,
and even after the lapse of that
time his suit was not prosecuted with
diligence. A mere institution of
a suit for divorce on the ground of
adultery will not avail as a defense to
a suit for divorce on the ground of
desertion. The adultery must be
proved. 1t vas the husbands duty to
act expeditiously that his wife should
not remain longer than necessity
required, if guilty, unconvicted, and if
innocent, under the shadow of such a
scandalous and ~disgraceful charge"
The chancellor finds that there was
no collision on the part of the hus-
band and wife to secure a divorce and
says chat the mere tact that both
desired to be divorced does not con-
stitute collision. There must be an
agreement.
In the decree reference to the testi-
mony is made, but the chancellor does
not mention Hallet Alsop Borrowe, the
correspondent, by name. Zone B., a
neighbor, is, however, referred to, and
this n B." is mentioned as having
been named as correspondent in the
suit brought by Drayton against his
