Seven men were killed and three fatally in

Valley Coal Company at West Pittston,
Eear here, this morning. The accident was
due to the alleged carelessness of Engineer
David Price, who, acting in disobedie'ce of
positive orders, caused three cars to run
into the top of the shaft. These cars, load
ed and Weighing eleven tons, fell down the
800 foot shaft and crashed with frshtfG
force upon the carriage carrying ten men,
Seen were almost instantly killed.
The deaa are:

charge of a little donkey engine, was shift
ing loaded cars from the New Red Ash
shaft, several hundred yards away, to the
Exeter breaker. This track approached the
head of the Exeter shaft, and at a distance
OF thirty feet from 1t curved gently to the
right and around the shaft to the breaker
AT the point where this track commenced
to curve was a switch, and the thirty feet
of track leading to the head of the shaft
was used tor storing crippled cars. Close
TO the head of the shaft it was closed by a
head block.
Prices orders were to approach the
breaker with the engine at the head of the
train. A few days ago he was caught
pushing the cars and was threatened with
discharge for dsobeying orders. Today he
did the same thing. The train was going
at good speed, when, instead of curving
around the shaft, the cars dasncI into the
switch, which was open. Price reversed the
engine, but it was too late. The car, struC k
the headblock smashed it, and three Of
them toppled down the shaft. About twenty
feet from the bottom they struck the car

In reply to the question of the Chica go
board of trade whether the war tax should
be paid on grain puts and calls" and
options, Commissioner Scott of the internal

BARONESS DE ROQUEs IN LONDON.
She Visits Her Daughter, Mrs. May
brick, in Prison.

LONDON. November 5.-The Baroness de
Roques has arrived here from France and
has paid her semi-annual visit to all the
authorities. She was permitted to visit her
daughter, Mrs. Maybrck, who is under
going Imprisonment for life in Ailesbury
prison, after having been convicted of poi
sonng her husband.
She reports the prisoner in a lamentable
condition worn to the bone and still un-
able to work. She is confined in the in
firmary and her spirit is utterly broken
Friends of Mrs Maybrick here are con-
vinced that some influence which does not
appear on the surface is alone responsible
for the opposition of the home Office to the
release of Mrs. Maybrick. 1t is known that
Colonel John Hay, just before leaving the
United States embassy here to assume the
duties of Secretary of State at Washington,
made another unsuccessful effort to obtain
her release, and that the lord chief justice
also lately took steps in the same direc-
ton.
A peculiar feature In connection with the
case is the persstency with which reports
are appearing in the English papers, say
ing that some one in New Zealand has left
Mrs. Maybrick fortune. Mrs. Maybrcks 5
mother wrote to the British officials and
to the United States consul at Wellington,
N T., and both replied that there was no
such man known as the one named in the
items, and that no such will had been pro-
bated. In spite of this, the para graphs con-
tinue to appear, saying the fortune is. being
carefully husbanded for Mrs. Maybrick by
trustees.

RECEIVED BY THE PRESIDENT.

With the Chief Executive

The 4th Ohio Volunteers, commanded by
Col. Colt, marched through the White
House today, probably the first regiment
ever accorded that honor. Their heavy
army shoes resounded over the tiled vesti-
bule and furnished a peculiar noise.
The regiment is on it's way home from
Porto Rico. 1t arrived in New York Thurs
day, 1,13O strong, with a sick list of only
three. 1t arrived here at 10 O'Clock this
morning over the Baltimore and Ohio road.
The regiment disembarked at the New York
avenue station of the Baltimore and Ohio
road and marched straight down the
avenue to the White House, being escorted
by squad of mounted police
AT the White House the arrangement
was for the regiment to pass in review be-
fore President Mckinley, stack arms out
side of the White House grounds and re-
turn to the executive Mansion 20 shake
hands with the President. This was carried
out.
Headed by its band, playing martial airs
the regiment marched in through the
northwest gate of the grounds and Dassed
out through the northeast gate to EXecu-
tive avenue, between the treasury and
hite Houst, where arms were stacked
President Mckinley, Secretary Alger, As
sistant Secretary Allen, and number of
ofhcers from the War Department stood on
the front porch of the w White House Will,
the regiment passed in review, the guns at
carry arms. A large number of people
were assembled near the President aid
greeted the regiment with handclapping
ard other demonstrations. The men are Il
healthy and happy looking lot of soldiers.
ana Secretary Alger remarked that there
did not seem to BE- much cause for COM
plant in that regiment.
After stacking arms the regiment marched
back to the White House and passed in
single file through the east ROOM shaking
hands with the President and Secretary
Alger. When this ceremony was over the
regiment returned to its train and re-em-
barked for Ohio.
President Mckinley expressed delight at
the fine appearance made by the Ohio SOL
diers.
