staIIings to Get the POsittOn-Fat
Berth to BE Given Lyons.
Washington, july 19.-Among the mem
bers of the Georgia colony it is under
stood that the long contest over the Au-
gusta postofice is to be settled by the ap-
pointment of Mr.. stallings, one of the
white candidates for the Office.
Mr.. Dyer, who came to Washington con-
ident that he was to be the compromise
candidate, has returned home, and it is
said that he has retired from the race. 1t
appears that at a recent Interview between
the President and Judson Lyons, the col
ored national committeeman, the Presi-
dent took occasion to tell Lyons he could
not appoint a colored man postmaster at
Augusta. The President expressed sincere
friendship for Lyons, and said he intended
to provide a good place for him In the
service.
A large number of prominent gold stand
ard mh in Augusta resent the appoint
ment of a eolored postmaster, and there
fore he hoped the difficulty might be set
tied in a manner satisfactory to all con-
cerned. 1t is understood the President in
formed Lyons that he might name the
postmaster of Augusta, whereupon Mr..
Lyons decided to name Mr.. Stallings. Just
what position Mr.. Lyons will receive is
not known, but 1t Is believed he may carry
off the registership of the treasury.

COAL NINE ON FIRE.
Five Men Have Certainly Succum5ed to
the Flames.

New Orleans, La. Sept. 20.-A special
from Birmingham, Ala, today to the
Picayune, says:
About two hours after the men wen,
10 work in mine No. 2, of the Bes,
m Land and improvement Cos. coal
mine at Bell Ellen, near Blockton, Bibb
county, this morning, fire was Discovers
ed far down in the main slope. About
a hundred men were employed in the
mine. A panic followed among the
workmen and in the lille town of Bell
Ellen hundreds gathered at the main en-
rance OF the smoking mine, while a
rescue party was at once formed TO re-
!ieve the miners. More than 80 were got
IN out from various entrances without
harm. Others. overcome by smoke, were
found and dragged out. Five men who
were working about the slopes beyond
where the fire originated could not be
reached and il is regarded as certain
they are dead.
The missing men are Herman Kram-
er and Hubbard Foley. White, and
Henry Reeves. Frank James and William
Fairfax, colored. 1t is possible that two
or three others may be in the mine. At
nightfall the fire is still burning fierce,
ly. All efforts are abandoned and the
men given up for dead.
The fire is thought to have originated
from the ~over-heated steam pipe which
ignited the gas in the mine.
