Number of Hours.
AN EXPLOSION OF GAS
There Were Distressing Scenes in Town
When II Became Known Tha h Ac-
cident Had Happened-Crowds
Of Willing Workers.

Brownsville, Pa, Sept. 23.-Seventy

pire mine of Snowden, Gould & Co, one
fourth of a mile below town, as the

~ HaEar, driver: John Cartwright,
miner, James Hall. miner.
The injured: George Baker, miner;
John Baker. slightly burned; Samuel
Mcintyre, cut on hand.
The explosion is said to have been
caused by h l~oosening Of a large
block Of coal which opened a pocket Of
gas. Immediately following he explo-
sion of gas there was a second cNplo-
sion of fire damp. There were 20 men
at work In the mine at the tlmc of the
disaster. and at first II seemed an i'm
possibility for any Of the "a men in
mines Nos. . and 10, where the eXplo-
sion occurred, to escape. Four men,
Jacobs, Davis. Wheasea and Walker.
who were near the entrance, managed
10 crawl out and the others. with the
exception of those caught by falling
coal, escaped by traversiug a III lie and
n half of underground PASSAGES, COM
ing out at the entrance near Lynn sta
ton. This point is fuur miles from the
opening Of the mine
1t is difficult to ind words to describe
the scenes Of to-day. shortly after the
report was circulated that an explosion
had taken place at the Empire mine,
and that many miners were e~ntoubed,
Water street. a narrow tho~roughfare
leading 70 il. was crowded with men,
women and children. all moving at
breakneCk speed ware the mines.
There were means and sobs and feel
ings Of apprehension. There We're con-
lectures Of whether husband, father.
brother or sweetheart We're victims.
When the mine was reached willing
hands at once went to work. Every
body seemed to want To go into the
mine. II was by sheer force that those
in charge at the entrance kept the
crowd out. II vas announced that there
was a sufficient force OF men inside to
do rescue work. when a weary and
painful wait of hours took place.

NOT TASCOTT.
The Murderer of Banker Smell Still at
Large Wrong Man Arrested.

Chicago, November 12.-Sergeant
Mooney and Patrolman Larkin, of the
Harrison street police station, think
they have arrested the lopg-sought
Willie Tascott, the alleged MUIR
derer of Banker Smell, who was shot
by burglar in 1888. The prisoner says
he is John Farnsworth, of Columbus,
Ohio, Int careful comparison with
the description of Tascott has caused
the policemen to believe that they
have the right man at last Little ere
dence is placed in the Identification,
however, as Tascott has had plenty of
opportunity to change his physical ap-
pearance during the last ten years.
Farnsworth was arrested to-day at
Clark and VanBuren streets.
1t was found that Farnsworth was
without the scars which existed on
Tascotts knee, hip and arm. He also
had false teeth, while Tascott's front
teeth were filled with gold. Farms

SETTLED.
The Differences Between the Chicago
Virden Coal Company and its Min
ers Adjusted.

Carlinville, ILL.,, November 12.-The
differences between the Chicago irden
Coal Company at Virden and Auburn
and the striking miners have been set
tied, and the shafts will soon be in
operation. The company agreed to pay
the State scale of forty cents per ton,
but did not want to tear down the
stockade. Finally, the company &C
cepted the offer of the miners that they
would take it down and charge the
company nothing for the labor.
Adjutant General Reese, of Spring
field, to-day notified Sheriff Davenport
that the remaining troops guarding the
Chicago-Virden Coal Co.'s shaft at Vir-
den should be removed. Since the diff
ferences between the coal company and
the miners have been settled troops are
no longer needed.
The grand jury adjourned to-day I'M
til Monday. Great pressure is being
brought to bear by influential persons
that nothing shall result from its in
vestigation. A prominent member OF
the jury admitted to-day that such was
the case. He Indignantly declared that
it was the intention of the grand jury
not to be affected by any outside pres
sure.

great powers as is generally represent
ed. Count Cassini says that the story.
although widely circulated and gener-
ally accepted as fact, is nothing less
than fable, and that for the truth Of
history, as well as for the removal
of this groundless reflection upon the
attitude of the European powers to-
ward the United States, this fable
should not be accepted as a part of
the record of the war. He does not
give this merely as personal opinion,
put as an established fact, learned
during visits to Paris and Berlin as
we'll as st. Petersburg. While in no
way rejecting upon any other power,
the Russian ambassador feels that it
is but simple justice to Russia and
other powers that the consistent
friendship they maintained toward the
United States throughout the war.
and continue to maintain toward this
government, should not be obscured
by any sentimental fictions to the ex-
ceptional friendship of one nation and
the enmity of others.

TIN PLATE TRUST.
1t Will be Capitalized at s50,OOO,OOO,
And the S ock is at a Premium AL.
II,

Pittsburg, Pa, November 12-All
the potent interests in the tin plate
industry are now getting together in
the formation of the combination
which is to be capitalized at $1,000 600.
The promoters of the combination
have been in Pittsburg for several days
and their success has been such as to
justify the statement that the market
will soon be in control of those sign
ing the article of agreement. Prices
of the output have been considered,
but a regulation of the production is
the primary object of the new organi-
cation.
To-day there were offers by banking
firms of Chicago. New York, St. Louis
and other money centers, agreeing to
pay five per cent premium on all the
stock that has been subscribed. 1t
was stated tonight that six new sig
natures to the compact had been re-
ceived from Western Pennsylvania.
One who is in position to know the
details of the tin plate situation, said
tonight:
The committee has met with great
success and the compact is now a fixed
fact. What stock the manufacturers
themselves do not take will be grabbed
by the banks and monied concerns
that are waiting for an opportunity.
1t is probable that a meeting of the
stockholders will be held within the
next two months"

custody of their two children, Mary,
8 years old, and Eugene, 4 years old.
but their mother has permission to see
them.
This is the termination of litigation
that has been in progress for several
years. Mrs. Bissell is handsome wo-
man, we'll connected socially, and in
all her legal troubles has been repre-
scented by A. II. Hummel. Her hus-
band objected to her extravaganza, as
she considered that a gown could only
be worn five times. She incurred bills
which he found himself unable to pay.
They separated, but became reconciled.
After living with her for some
months, Bissell began an action for
divorce. She made counter charges.
and the court awarded her alimony.
He declared that he was too poor to
pav the amount the court granted his
wife. and when he was about to be
sent to prison for contempt. he enlisted
and went to the front during the recent
war. Judge Pryor subsequently reliev-
ed him from the payment of the ali
mony.
It is rumored that Mrs Bissell, now
that she is at least free of her hus-
band. has serious intentions Of marry
ing a man who has been attentive 10
her for some time.

AGAINST RAY MOND.
Committee of University Students to
Appeal to GOvern"r Atkinson.
Special to the Register.

Special to the Register.
Parkersburg, w. Va. November 12-
Members of the West Virginia Univer-
Sity foot ball team, who passed
through here to-day for Charleston,
were very outspoken in their criticism
of President Raymond, of the Univer-
sity, and the contention between the
faculty and the students that exists
One of the party informed the Regis
ter correspondent that a committee OF
the students intended calling on Gov
ernor Atkinson, while in Charleston,
and lay the matter before him.
'The feeling against President Ray
mond," said the leader of the students,
lis getting to be SO strong and such
pressure is being brought to bear to
get him out of the University that it is
very doubtful if he remains the rest
of the year. The most recent act Of
the president which the students are
criticising is the suspension of nearly
twenty students Thursday. Some of
these were suspected of hazing and the
boys who were hazed were suspended
also because they refused to divulge
the names of the students who hazed
them.
