Foreign Interest in American Prop
erties-A Good Season for
Good Mines

New York, May 20.-Interest in Ameri-
can mines still continues in Europe. The
disturbances in South Africa have not
cleared away entirely. Money which
would otherwise have gone there, but
which has been held awaiting develop
ments, now seems assured to be bound
for the United States.
| Hamilton Smith, the expert for the
London Exploration company, which
represents the Rothschilds interests in
mining, who has been in this city for
several days, is reported to have gone
out to examine several properties in the
west. 1t is said that some of the deals
which will be made in the event of
Smiths favorable report will run up in

Whereas, The Democratic party has,
for more than twenty years in its stare
and national platforms, and by the decla-
ration of its leaders on the stump and it's
representatives in the halls of congress,
declared in favor of the use of both silver
and gold and denounced all legislation
against the white metal as being contrary
to the best interest of the masses and in
the interest of the few; and,
Whereas, The demonstration of silver
has been ruinous to the best interests of
the majority of the people of the United
States, and stands as the greatest crime of
the age in which we live; and,
Whereas, The Democratic party having
pledged itself to restore the monetary
value of silver. and give it ennai value
with gold, party honor aud good faith, as
we'll as public interest, demand that this
pledge be kept inviolate. Therefore be it

THREE DIREFUL DISASTERS
Collapse of An Old Business Block in
Buffalo Roll of Dead and
Injured.
EIGHT MINERS ENTOMBED IN MICHIGAN
Serious Gas Explosion in Kansas
Three Persons Killed and Thirteen
More Wounded Natural Gas
Ignited by Match.

Buffalo, N. Y, May 2I.--The old Brown
building, at the corner of Main and SEN
eca streets, formerly occupied by the
Western Union Telegraph company, col
lapsed to-day. The portion that fell was
that being reconstructed. The cause of
the collapse is supposed to be the giving
way OF the props.
Many carpenters were working and the
barber shop Of M. Jones was full of GUS
TONERS. There we're perhaps fifteen or
twenty people in the building.
OF these two have been taken out fatal
ly injured: Geo. Nets, a barber, died at
the hospital; Mike O'Brien, carpenter,
baek broken, dying.
The others rescued are: s. L. Hanes
and James Adams.
ROLL OF THE DEATH AND INJURED.
The body of Jacob Rickan, a barber,
has been removed.
Jennie Griffin, woman cashier of the
barber shop, is under the ruins and is no
doubt dead.
The police and tiremen are working to
clear away the ruins and rescue the un.
fortunates to the number of probably not
less than fifteen.
A dozen or more people are said to
have been in the barber shop when the
crash came. Cries are heard from the
debris.
The following is list of the injured,
us far as known: W. l.. Hawkes., car
penter, bruised and cut about the body;
James Adams, carpenter, bruised, cut, in
jured internally; Michael O'Brien, car
penter, back broken; Miss Jennie Griffin,
cashier of Jones' barber shop, buried be-
meath the ruins.
Herman J. Schintzek, one of the bar
bers, who escaped uninjured, said that he
saw the wall and debris fall upon her.
CAUSE OF THE DISASTER.
When the Western Union moved out of
the Brown building, a decripit structure
of forty years standing, contractors were
employed to remodel and reconstruct the
building.
This they attempted to do by running
braces under the floor joists, held up by
piers. The immediate cause of the col
lapse was the removal of part of the
foundation walls. There were but few
tenants in the building.
Another body, that of man, name not
known, was recovered after several hours
labor by the firemen. =
Peter Strub, contractor; William Kup-
pinger and T. W. Myer, workmen, jured
by bricks and beams, have been taken
out of the ruins.
All the barber shop employees, except
the woman cashier, have been accounted
for.

ARGUMENT HEARD.
The Case of Oustiug the Borough Justic
Heard on Saturday.

The Case of Oustiug the Borough Justices
Heard on Saturday.
Judge Pershing on Saturday heard argu-
ment in the case of the ousted Justices in
Shenandoah and Mahanoy City. The ar
gument was on the rule to show cause why a
decree should not be entered for want Of suf-
iIicient answer.
Messrs. Schalck and WaGlinger represented
the ousted Justices. In their argument they
dwelt at considerable length upon the manner
in which the Borough Justices secured their
election, claiming that they were not the
choice of the voters Of either town that the
office was not provided for on the official
ballot no proclamation was issued by the
constablcs setting forth that but two
Justices were to be voted for. Mr. Schalck
dictated how their election was obtained by
the use of stickers, and said they sneaked
into offices which they were not legally en-
titled to.
In arguing for the Borough Justices, w. A,
Marr quoted a number Of authorities and
made a strong plea in behalf of Messrs
Cardin and Lawlor, of town. and Coyle and
Jones, of Mahanoy City, claiming that a pro.
clamation by consmbles was not mandatory
Judge Pershing reserved his decision. II
the decision is favorable to the old Justices

The foot ball game at the Trottng park on
saturday between the shenandoah and
Mahanoy City teams resulted in % victory for
the former by a score of 30 to O. The Shen-
andoah team was weaS in the first half and
the score stood 6 to 8. Caughlin was umpire,
German referee and O'Donnell liuesman.
Mccormick started the game by kicking the
ball out Robinson made the first touch
down for Mahanoy City by fine run of 100
yards around the left end. Farrell kicked
the goal. Mccormick made the first touch
down for shenandoah by bucking the line
and kicked the goal. Mcdonald made the
next touchdown by good run and Fahey
missed the goal Frost scored the next
touchdown by sprinting 35 yards and Fahey
again missed the goal. Wertz made touch
down by bucking through the line and this
time Fahey kicked the goal This was soon
followed by two more touchdowns by Fahey
and he also kicked two goals and concluded
the game. The Shenandoah team is in great
trim and Mahanoy City is evidently too
weak for it.
