PI7FS7ON'S AORROR.
Eager Efforts to Reach the
Bodies Of the Entombed
Miners.

WlLkESBARRE, June 29, 1sse.-Tnere
are no new developments this morning
at the Twain Shaft of the Newton Cosl
company at Pittston, the scene of the
terrible mine accident. Superintendent
owens Of the Exeter colliery and Super
intendent Thomas OF the Lafflin coluery
VINO were in the shaft all night. directing
the fesouers. came to the surface this
morning. From them it is learned that
the work Of the rescuers toward reaching
the entorabed miners is progressing rap
idly.
The tinabering is going up fast. and if
the same progress is continued for twen-
ty-four hours, the rescuers would be
right on the cave proper, and then the
digging will begin. How far beyond or
under this cave the men are cannot, of
course, be stated and they do not know
how much digging will have to be done.
II the slope is not entirely choked up,
progress will be much faster than if it
is all filled and upon this depends the
length of time which will be consumed
before the bodies are reached 1t may
be TWO days or it may be two weeks
James MclMahon, one of the bravest min
ers in the valley, craWled about the mine
this morning and it is claimed that ne

the unfortunate men are supposed TO be-
He called out to -them on many oc-
casions but could get no answer. That
they are all dead is beyond any further
question. The Twin Shaft, operated by
the Newton Coal Company, has been a
costly one to the owners for the past two
years. The President of the company is

delphia yesterday when the accident oc-
CURED. He is now on the grounds One
of the chief officials of a neighboring
mine stated to the United Press repre-
sentative the heavy rains of the last few
days mad caused water to go into the
Twin Shaft and down into the fifth vein,
which caused the roof of the Red Ash
vein to become weakened and give symp-
toms of a cave-in, and this caused the
fall occurred.
Criticisms are already numerous re-
garding the awful calamity, though it is
too soon to express opinions as to the
possibility of having ayerted this almost
unprecedented accident or to pass crfti-
cism upon those who authorized SO large
a body of men to enter mine in so
dangerous a condition. An official inves-
tigation VIII follow, and it is believed that
it will. in every respect, be thorough and
impartial.
The several acts of Assembly for the
safety Of the men employed in the mines
of this State provide an ample machinery
for such an Investigation. and the proper
authorities will doubtless see to it that
the provisions of the law are put into
full operation in this most distressing

in the mountains. Patrolman Murray is
taking his place on the Boulevard. Last
evening ne went through a thrilling ex-
perience on horseback, and one which
he did not relish.
He was riding at a leisurely pace in the
vicinity of Sip, avenue, when of sudden
his horse boISSd. Murray's hat sailed
high in the air. So sudden was the start,
and in an instant the horse was running
at breakneck speed down the Boulevard.
Murray dug his spurs in the horseswhich
only tended to increase his mad flight.
He finally got the. horse under control
near Montgomery street. Some kind
met and trotted after him with it, The
evidence of the mad flight of Murray and
his horse was muddy spot on his helmet.

and she gave the reporter vivid descrip-
tion of the accident. Her waist was all
covered with blood which she had re-
ceived while assisting Miss Hayden, and
she looked as if she had gone through
the accident herself
She said that it was hard to tell who
was to blame for It. but if it was any
ones fault it was the driver of the beer
wagon
Everybody seemed to cry out" she
continued, that it was the motorman's
fault; but I saw the whole affair and 1
do not think the motorman could pos
sible have avoided it. He was coming
up Grand street and the wagon was
coming down Communipaw avenue. A
Court House car was between the
motorman's sight and the wagon and he
could not see it, while, in my opinion,
the driver could see the car, as he was
elevated on his seat, which looked over
the top of the Court House car"

A SERIOUS PROPOSITION.

Perhaps it would be we'll for the sheep
raisers of New Mexico to investigate that
story that comes from Berkeley, CAL If
a cross OF the Persian and Merino breeds
can produce fine texture of wool eight
inches longiin California, that sells at an
advance of 4 cents over the ordinary
wool, the same species should do equally
as we'll in New Mexico. Let some of our
sheep raisers write to the agricultural de-
partment of California university at
Berkeley and post themselves thoroughly
on the subject. This is proposition, it
seems to us, that is worth while dealing
with seriously.

SPAIN NEEDS A NEW PREMIER.

According to dispatch from Madrid
to Paris paper, speaking of possible
trouble between the United States and
Spain over Cuban affairs, Senior Canovas
Castillo, the Spanish premier, de6antly
declares that "Spain will cause her rights
to be respected adding the bombastic
and utterly senseess remark: $50 long
rs l remain in power, will not make any
concession or yield to anybody" Evil
IDENTIFY the present premier of Spain is
as full of folly and recklessness as most
of bis modern predecessors under whose
idiotic administrations during the past
100 years Spain has been shorn of nearly
all of her vast colonial possessions and
been reduced from position of imperial
power on land and sea to place of al
most absolute contempt in the world.
Does he not know that Great Britain,
with wealth and power certainly second
to no nation in Europe, has recently
made the most ample and satisfactory
concessions to the United States in the
matter of arbitrating the Venezuela
boundary disputei And does he suppose
that feeble, enervated, bankrupt power
like Spain can accomplish what Great
Britain did not care to try' Clearly
Spain better put her present premier il
straight jacket and secure the services
OF new one who is endowed with few
grains of common sense.

WE are just bit surprised, in view OF
all the single standard advocates have
said, to find the business of the country
jumping along at such a lame rate since
McKinley's election. When such rail
roads as the Santa Fe in Kansas, the Chi
cago & Alton, and the Vandalia, which
penetrate the richest sections of any
country on earth, become involved in
financial troubles, there must be some
thing the matter. Perhaps it is lack of
confidence" that ails them.
