JEFF DAVIS MONUMENT.
A Memorial to the Traitor to Be Erected
at Observation-Disclosures Flags
Floating.

Richmond, Va, June 29,-Visitors to
the confederate reunion are arriving
today in large numbers. Only a few
organized bodies have arrived.but many
more will reach here tonight. The
New Orleans contingent came early
this morning and have already begun
their fight to secure the battle Abbey Of
the south. Colonel j. Pinckney Smith,
of the New Orleans states, heads the
delegation. The Missouri people are
here trying to secure the reunion for
next year. General John B. Gordon,
COMMUNICATIVE of the confederate
veterans and Adjutant General George
Moorman, of New Orleans, are quarter
ed at the jefferson hotel. General
Stephen n. Lee, who will be the orator
at the laying of the corner stone of the
Davis monument, is also here and this
morning presided over meeting Of the
history committee.
Davis memorial services were held in
St. Paul church last evening, Of which
Jefferson Davis was member and
where he was at services when he re-
ceived the despatch from General Lee,
telling him to evacuate the city in '65.
General Raleigh T. Colston, a distin-
guished confederate officer is said to be
dying at the soldiers home here. Mrs.
Jefferson Davis is expected tonight.
The city is profusely decorated with
national and confederate colors. In the
auditorium a large United States flag
surmounts the portraits of Lee and
Jackson over the chair of the presiding
officer,

No HOPE FOR THEN
Difficulties in the Way Of
Reaching Entombed Miners
at PittStOn Increase.
FLOODING OF lIINE FEARED
Large Pump Has Been Secured in Au-
ticipation Of Such a Contingency.
Place Where the Men Are Is Prob.
ably Filled with Water, as No
Pumping Has Been Done Since
the CaYe-in.
They are still entombed.

They are still entombed.
Yesterday brought no hope that the
mine workers shut in in the Twin shaft
at Pittston Junction since O'Clock Sun
day morning will ever be brought to the
surface alive. On the contrary, the dis
closures of the day confirmed the state
ment printed in yesterdays Tribune
that II the men are not already dead
they will be before they can be reached.
A systematic effort was made during
the day to compile complete list OF the
meE in the mine and the result is print
The Tribunes estimate of yesterday
that eighty men are entombed in the
mine was very close to the exact figures.
In conversation with Tribune reporter
Sunday night l.. l.. Fuller. secretary Of
the Newton Coal company. which oper
ated the Twin shaft, said he though: the
number of men in the mine was sixty
eight 1t is now evident that Mr.. Full
ler's estimate was.much too low.
The rescuing parties worked diligent-
ly all day, but what with the squeezing
and caving and the liability of gas and
water to appear at any moment, their
progress was slow and the danger
enough to deter any but the stoutest
heart.
The scenes of Sunday about the
mouth Of the shaft ware repeated yes
terdav. The crowds of curious sight
seers We're not as large. but the pitiful
incidents were quite as numerous. At
daybreak the wifes and other relatives
Of the entombed men were upon the
scene and the heartrending lamenta-
tions were enough to cause the stOutest
heart to soften. The women were not
permitted to remain long but were
tenderly led away by the male relatives
or fri 5nds as the repeated arrivals Of
the cage at the surface We're only a
series of repeated disappointments to
them.

AN OBSCENE LETTER CASE.
Residents of New Jersey Town
Testify ut n Racy Trial.

Trenton, N. j.. June 29.-Nearly the
entire population of the village of Pea
pack, in Somerset county, was in the
United States court today as witnesses
in a case in which Asher Fleming was
charged with sending obscene letters to
Oscar Smith.
The letters were read in court. but
they were so vile that the women pres
ent were requested to retire.
TIL letters in the most unblushing lam
guage charged Smith with improper re-
lations with number of women, in
Guiding his own niece, and threatened
him with coat of tar ana feathers un-
less he left the community. Fleming
denied having sent the letters, which
were in printed characters. but Morris
Dennis and Augustus Dennis testified
that Fleming admitted to them that he
was the author Daniel Ames and NJ. j.
Kinsley. of New York, two experts in
writing, testified that comparison
with manuscript written by Fleming
showed conclusively that Fleming was
the author of the printed letters. While
on the stand Fleming admitted that he
had been convicted of assault and bat
terry on his wife.

POPE ,LEO'S LETTER.
Communication on the Reunion Of All
Christian Churches-ExpIanatlon
of the Apostolic Mission.

Baltimore. June 29.--Cardinal Gibbons
of the summary Of Pope Leo's encyclical
letter on the reunion of all the Chris
tian churches. His holiness evidently
had in mind the recent letter of Will
lam Gladstone. and tho letter may be
considered a reply thereto. The letter
at the pope's request will be given pub
licity throughout Europe and America
tomorrow morning. 1t says in part:
Christ endowed His apostles with au-
thority like to His own, and this apostolic
mission was intended for the salvation
of the whole human race, and consequent
ly must last to the end of time. The Mag
isterium instituted by Christ in His church
was BY Gods will. perpetuated in the sue
cessors appointed by the apostles and in
like manner the duty of accepting and
protesting all that is thus taught Is also
perpetual and immutable." There Is
nothing which the church founded on
these principles has been more careful
to guard than the integrity of the faith.
The fathers of the church are unanimous
in considering as outside the Catholic
communion any one who in the least de-
gree deviates from even one point of the
doctrine proposed by the authoritative
magisterium of the church.
Wherefore Christ instituted In the
church a Living, Authoritative and Last
ing Magisterium, He willed and CON-
manded under the gravest penalties that
its teachings should he received as II they
were His own. He established In the
church all those principles which neces-
sarily tend to make organized human So
cieties and through which they attain the
perfection to each. The church Is mans
guide to whatever pertains to heaven. This
Is the office appointed to 1t by God: That
It may watch over and may order all that
concerns religion and may without let OF
hindrance exercise according to its judg.
ment. its charge over Christianity
Wherefore they who pretend that the
church has any wish to interfere in civil
matters or to infringe upon the rights OF
the state either know 1t not or wickedly
caluminate 1t.
The remainder of the letter Is an ex-
position of the spiritual supremacy of
the papacy and an argument for unity
on that basis.

TRYING TO REACH THE MEN.
Difficulties Encountered by the Men
on the Rescue Shifts.

There is little or no change in the
known yet how many men are entombed
and whether or not their bodies will ever
be recovered is still matter of the
merest conjecture. They may reach
them tomorrow, or they may never
reach them. No one can tell. Several
times yesterday the hopes of the res
cuers ran high but just as they We're
rejoicing at the possibility of soon
reaching their imprisoned brothers, the
treacherous mine would recommence its
quaking and they would be driven back
to the foot of the shaft to begin their
work all over again.
1t was battle with varying success
between the men and the mine all day
, long. Four times the head Of the i'll
| fated slope was reached and four times
the men had to retreat At l. o'clock
Sunday night the most satisfactcr prog
ress was being made and it was thought
that the work could he pushed uninter-
rupted to a speedy consummation. But
an hour later the Squeezing" again
manifested itself and inside of half an

MAKE any further efforts. The settling,
however. ceased again and once more
the brave men returned to the attack.
The road which they had already
tmbered was repaired at the points
where the squeeze had affected the pill
lars and there they started to push
farther on. At s o'clock another
squeeze drove them back again. In
the afternoon about o'clock the
"quaking" grew in intensity and work
had to be stopped for short time again.
At o'clock last night the rescuers had
pushed their tunnel to the head Of No.
8 slope and came upon the outskirts of
the main fall.
The rescuers counted on attacking II
in the morning and word was sent to
Wilkes-Barre for heavy sledges to
break passageway through the debris.

shift would need have no fears of their
retreat being cut off when they came in
to attack the face of the main fall
This work was being pushed with all
possible vigor and everything looked en-
couraging until about II o'clock. when
another and more serious squeeze
occurred, and again the men were drlv-
en- back. At midnight the settling had
not ceased, and the plans for the NOR
row are frustrated. The last reports
were to the effect that the tunnel Is
liable to be entirely blocked within
twenty-four hours.
The cave-in Is working In all directions,
1t Is supposed, from the spot where the
main fall occurred and the old workings
which are but poorly supported are ex-
pected to cave-in at any moment. Mine

MINE BOYS DROWNED.
Sad Accidents Near Boston and at Lake
MassapOag-Several Are Also
Injured.

Boston. June 29-One OF the saddest
accidents in the history of the Boston
water front occurred at Castle Island
off City Point this afternoon. At about
2. 80 o'clock seventy-five children were on
a rickety. unsafe gang plank and float
ed at the landing south of the bridge
from the Point to the island. when the
float overturned, the fiimsy guard rails
of the gang plank split, and thirty or
more Of the children were tumbled into
at least twelve feet of water. Four
boys, from II to Is years old, were
drowned; four children were picked up
unconscious, and later revived, and the
others. as far as known, were rescued.
The dead are: James H. Washburn, 3
years: James F. Cole, II years; Law
renee Mcdowell, II years, and an un-
known lad of II years.
Injured Lillian Duffy. II years;
Harry Sampson, 10 years.
Today was to be observed as Farragut
day in South Boston and in honor of
the event the South Boston Historical
society had distributed a large number
of buttons among children emitting
them to free ride on a steamer from
City Point across to Castle Island. AS
a result the little steamer was crowded
on her trips during the afternoon and
so early did the rush begin that the po-
lice force detailed for afternoon duty
at Castle Island had not arrived.
The little steamboat Ella, Captain
E. w. Webber. arrived at the float with
a big list of children passengers from
Mt of nd tn
unload them on to the float just as
fifty children on the granite pier start
ed on a run down the gang plank to
go aboard. The two crowds met, the
float upset, the gang plank split and the
accident occurred.

Wilkes Barre. June 29.-The delegates
here are crying Doodle and betting none,

and cold water and the outlook for en-

Williams seems to be the favorite, his

has 1875, and Palmer makes no claims at
all. but does not seem in the least de-
spirited. For state senator Scott looks
