in No. slope of the Parrish Coal
Company at Plymouth Tuesday after
noon, by which three men lost their
lives. The dead are Isaac Edmunds,
George Eddy and Louis Richards.
The cause of the accident is as yet
unknown. One theory is that the men
came Unexpectedly upon a pocket OF
gas and set it on fire with their lamps.
Another report is that it was caused
by carelessness. The company will
make thorough investigation.

The mob made wild rush.
In stories of this kind this is the point
at which the avengers usually make a
frantic and desperate break to get away
from the scene, leaving the orator to
climb down from the barrel and go
about his business; but the historian is
compelled to record the fact that in
this instance nothing of the kind took
place,
The mob made wild rush and strung
that orator up.
He had spoken less than two minutes.

Monopoly Politics.

The last Legislature put the clincher
on the new ballot reform measure by
passing an act providing that no one
name shall appear on the printed bal
lot more than once. This was done
in the interest of monopoly politics
against the interests of the general
public. The courts will be called
upon to set aside such vicious legisla
ton as being in conflict with plain
provisions of the constitution.
