VAN WICK OPENS CAMPAIGN.
He is Cheered to the Echo by an
Enormous ThrOng.

NEW YORK, October 13.-Judge Au-
gustus Van Wyck opened the Democratic
campaign in this city at the Academy Of
Music in Brooklyn tonight. before a
crowd that filled every available foot of
space in the building, and cheered him en-
Enthusiastically upon his appearance on the
platform, throughout the address that he
delivered, and at every mention of his
name by other speakers.
The Academy was entirely unable to
accommodate the great number of people
who tried to gain admission and waited
in front of the building for an hour before
the doors were opened.
Judge Van Wyck did not appear on the
platform until just as the chairman Of
the meeting, Justice William Gaynor was
closing his address, and as the candidate
walked from the rear of the stage to a
seat near the speakers stand, the people
stood up and cheered and waved hats and
handkerchiefs. The demonstration contin-
ued for a minute or two. and did not
cease until the chairman formally pre-
scented Judge Van Wyck.

FIVE MINERS KILLED.
Eleven Others Injured-TerrfbIe Ex-
pIOsion Mt CoaIdaIe, PA.

TAMAQUA, PA, October l3.-Fiye men
were killed and eleven injured by an ex-
plosion of gas this evening in Colliery No.
s, at Coaldale, near here. The dead are:
Fire-Boss Thomas Smith, William Reese,
Maths Olarkey, Of Coaldale; William Cook
and John Konika, of Lansford. Konika
died after he had been taken from the
mine, but the others met instant death.
All were married and leave large families.
The colliery is the largest producer OF
four in the valley owned by the Lehigh
Coal and Navigation Company. 1t has a
capacity Of over 100000 tons Of coal, and
employs 500 hands.
In consequence Of fire which originated
in tho left section of the mine some
months ago, shifts Of men were put to
work driving holes from the gangway,
through which water was to be forced
upon the flames. While the gang of men
was building dam to back up the water
this evening, the gangway caught fire.
Nearly a hundred thousand gallons of
water was turned into the holes, and al
most instantly a terrific explosion oc-
CURED, followed In quick succession by
four lighter explosions, Of such force that
the gangway was torn up for over three
hundred feet, and the workmen were
blown about in all directions. Rescue
gangs were put to work, and an hour
later it was thought that all the dead and
injured had been found although the
search was under way tonight, when the
fire was still burning. The supposition Is
that the great body Of water sent into
the holes forced volumes Of escaping gas
from some OF the old workings back upon
the flames, causing the explosion.

Crowd to See the Passion PIny.

There was royal welcome awaiting
the Passion Play last night at the Audi
torium, and from Z o'clock to $50 the
great crowd pushed and surged at the
box-office. The street-car facilities for
handling the crowds have been admirable,
and even last night there was no waiting
AT the close, except long enough for the
people to get on the cars. DIR. Wharton
was in a particularly happy frame of
mind as he faced this outpouring of the
best OF the Richmond people. and with
out any effort whatever succeeded in
creating great enthusiasm. This response
on the part of the people assembled was
particularly noticeable when he told them
that he had decided TO erect on the Who
soever farm a memorial TO be known as
the Winnie Davis Cottage, to be erected
at a cost OF 5000 This particular cot
tage was to contain and be the home of
the orphans of the Confederate veterans,
their children, and their grandchildren.
IL is also to contain the chapel for the
worship of the children of the farm. The
sentiment of the audience was best shown
when he asked for collection. there be-
ing the most liberal response by far that
he had as yet received.

Ceremony I'm Brides Boudoir--
Honeymoon on n Yacht.
New York Herald-13th)


Howard Gould and Viola Kathrine
Clemmons were married at . o'clock last
night in her apartments at the Holland
House
The Rev. DR.. Wilton Merle Smith, pas
tor OF the Central Presbyterian Church
OF west Fffty-seventh street, performed
the ceremony. The bridal parlors were
simply but beautifully decorated with the
rarest roses, orchids and other flowers
supposed to exhale tho sweet language
of love.
The bride was exqulsitely attired in
white satin trimmed with old point lace,
the finest 10 be found in all Europe.
Otherwise there was no display All
was simplicity and beauty. No gems
adorned the radiant woman. except a
small diamond pin at the throat She
wore no flowers, but a simple corsage
bouquet. There were no bridesmaids nor
any one TO give the bride away.
The preparations for the wedding were
kept a profound secret. No one dream
ed that the event was to take place ex-
cept the few suddenly invited guests.
They were Mr.. and Mrs. John Kmble
Mr.. and Mrs G.. L. Fitzpatrick. Mr. Lee
roy w. Baldwin Captain w. G.. Shack
ford, captain OF the yacht Niagara: Mr..
w. Bogardus. and Mr.. and Mrs. Sells.

remembered through a lifetime, because
1t meant so much. The loss Of s.. 900 600.
the possibilities OF litigation and grievous
heartrendings and cruel family dlssen-
sions. were all swallowed up in the Joy OF
the occasion.
In lady's boudoir I'm a hotel on Fifth

smiles of few friends. the ceremony
was performed.
Howard Gould stood up like man who
was sure he knew what he was doing.

clergyman tied the knot In the language
OF the service OF the Presbyterian Church.
The bride was beautifully pale. but the
color OF rose suffused her cheeks when the
marriage was pronounced and ended. No
one seemed happier than the brave cap
tain OF the yacht Niagara.
After the ceremony the newly-wedded
couple sat down TO a wedding supper

THE VIRGINIA LEAGUE REVIVAL.
Messrs. Bradley and Cunningham
NV Not BE Able to Go Into Ii.

The announcement made In the Dispatch
yesterday that the Virginia League mao
been reorganized at Norfolk, with Rich
mond, Norfolk, Lynchburg, Portsmouth
and Roanoke holding membership there
in, created considerable interest among
the cranks of this city.
The Virginia State League magnates
from what is said by those In position
to know. appear to be little premature
in their action, for the Atlantic League
it is claimed, still holds the National pro-
lection for Richmond and Norfolk, and
Messrs. Bradley and Cunningham, who
are said to represent Richmond and Nor
folk, respectively, will probably find some
trouble in putting teams in the field.
The Richmond Baseball and Athletic
Association, which owns the Richmond
franchise, or rather controls 1t, is repre-
sented by Mr.. NJ. NJ. Mcclure, OF this city
who, in a letter 10 Sporting Life, pub
lished recently, denounced the statements
made to the effect that Richmond was
going into the Atlantic League as with
out foundation in fact.
LEAGUE HOLDS THE FRANCHISES
Mr.. Cunningham controls the Norfolk
franchise, but IL is according to the
laws Of baseball, not in his power to take
his team out of the Atlantic League and
put it in the Virginia League. At a
meeting OF the Atlantic League managers,
held last summer, an effort was made
by Newark and Hartford to leave the
Atlantic League and enter the Eastern
League, and TO keep them from doing this,
the owners Of all the teams. Norfolk and
Richmond included, voted their franchises
to the league, and now they are bound
up. Mr.. Cunningham can leave the At
lantic League, but he cannot take his
franchise with him without the consent
OF the other teams In he league. and
without his franchise ne could not so
into the Virginia League, as the Atlantic
League would then control Norfolk, and
would naturally object TO opposition in
that city.
AS for Richmonds participation in the
State League meeting, 1t is contended
that Mr.. Bradley will have to secure the
Richmond franchise ere he can take
any steps toward going into any league,
and this, Mr.. Mcguire says, will not be
sold.
There promises to be a lively wrangle
over baseball this winter, and while II is
possible that the Virginia State League
may be revived, 1t will not be done with
out fight

FRISCO THE CHOICE.
NEXT EPISCOPAL CONVENTION To
DE HELD AT GOLDEN GATE.
QUESTION OF CHURCH UNITY.
II Evokes nm Interesting Debate
Encouragement of Missionary Dis
tricts-Uniform Laws on Marriage
and Divorce.

cisco was to-day definitely determined
upon as the place for holding the next
Triennial Council Of the Episcopal Church.
An interesting report. showing the pros
porous condition of the General Theologi-
cal Seminary in New York city, was sub
mitted. 1t showed contributions amount
Ing to $4,000 for eleven dioceses during
the past three years, the chief portion
coming from New York
Among the resolutions presented and
referred were those proposing an appeal
to Congress for an amendment to the Fed
cral constitution providing for uniform
laws on marriage and divorce; extending
the causes for which coadjutor bishops
may be chosen; providing for deputa-
ton TO attend the next general synod OF
the Church of England in Canada The
last-named resolution was adopted unani-
mously, showing the tendency toward uni
Tying the Church.
ALTERATIONS OF PRAYER-BOOK.
The consideration of the Constitution
was resumed, and Article X. of the revi-
sion, providing strict limitations on altera-
tons Of the Prayer-Book, was adopted
unanimously.
The important question of Church unity
came up on the resolution of the Rev.
Dr. Huntington, of New York, extending
Article X so as to permit any Bishop
to take under his spiritual guidance any
congregation accepting certain essential
tenets of the Church.
The debate which this resolution evoked
lasted the balance OF the day, and when
adjournment was taken the question had
not been decided. Strong speakers advo-
Gated both sides of the question, and
the large audience listened TO them with
great interest.
The chief work Of the House of Bish-
ops to-day was to agree to a rearranse-
ment Of five of the missionary districts
In the West, the changes made being
based on the idea of having these d.
visions OF contiguous territory, where
practicable.
