GENERAL BULLER's defeat at
Spion Kop is probably the greatest
reverse that English arms ever suf-
fered. 1t is estimated that he lost
nearly 1000 men, killed, wounded
and captured. 1t is also evident
that he cannot relieve Ladysmith
and that the troops there, number.
ing close to 10000 will have to sur
render. 1t is fearful to see SO many
brave men slaughtered for the sake
OF the greed OF a nation. The Beers

LAST Tuesday forenoon one of


the foulest crimes ever perpetrated
in a civilized country was COM
mitted in Kentucky, when Cover
nor elect Gobel Of that State was
shot down in the capitol grounds
at Frankfort. There is no reason
to suppose that the assassination
was not the work of the Republican
ring which has been trying to keep
Gobel from taking his seat as Gov
ernor of the State. The shot was
fred from a building in which all
the Republicans had offices, and
which building was full of Repub-
licans at the time. 1t is strange
that, in broad day light, nobody
saw the shot fred. It is not only
strange, but it is impossible to be.
lieve that such is the case. How.
ever, up to date nobody has ac-
knowledged to seeing the act done.
Taylor, who is holding the position
of Governor, is a Republican, and
for some time past has been prepar-
ing for trouble, as has been shown
by his actions since the shooting.
For week past Republicans have
been congregating in Frankfort,
and the supposition is that they
were all heavily armed; at least the
man who was arrested on suspicion
of doing the shooting had three re-
volvers on his person and couple
of knives. He reports being only a
disinterested farmer visiting the
city. Taylor, Immediately after the
shooting, called out the militia and
adjourned the Legislature, which he
had no right whatever to do. He
called for the Legislature to meet in
London, the strongest Republican
precinct in Kentucky, but the Dem
ocratic members wonld not go there.
Taylor has also placed guard of
soldiers around all places where the
Legislature proposed to meet, and
will allow no meeting. This is a
high-handed outrage. The Legis.
lature has declared Gobel Governor
and he has signed some papers.
Since this declaration TAYLOR has
not been recognized a. Governor
except by the minority, and force
of arms. The feeling in Kentucky
is intense, and it is said that a plan
has been discovered whereby the
judiciary were to he put out of the
way, also. And this is the way
the Republicans claim Kentucky
as a Republican State! This is the
way they propose to make it Re-
publican; by killing off Democrats
who are elected and by controlling
the Legislature, which is Democrat
ic, with militia and U. S. troops.
Will it be safe to declare yourself
an American citizen in the future
without supplementing such an as
sertion with the statement that you
are a Republican?

FORTY kNowN 10 Be DEAD.
List of Victims of Brazne1f Mine Ex-
pIosion Is Very Large.

pIosion Is Very Large.
The horror of the BraZnell mine ex-
plosion near Brownsville, Pa, is worse
than first estimated. Tuesday morning
the number OF dead was known to be
over forty.
The explosion was terrific, and was
heard plainly at Brownsville, four miles
distant. The main shaft was totally
wrecked and rendered helpless. About
four cages of men had gone down to
work Mr.. Thomas, the .cageman, on
his fourth trip, went to the bottom with
fourteen men, and gave the signal for
the cage to rise, when the explosion oc-
cured. The cage was blown with ter
rife force to the top of the shaft, and
fell back to the bottom. completely block
ing across the mine. Timbers were hurl-
ed hundreds of feet the lower ring Of
brick work in one shaft was completely
wrecked, and had to be tunneled TO get
into the mine at all.
The explosion was caused by miners
naked light coming into contact with gas
in room where no gas was supposed to
exist. The tipple was wrecked and the
buildings over the fan and the engine
were shattered TO splinters. The iron
work at the bottom of the shaft was
twisted in all imaginable shapes, telling
plainly of the awful force Of the explo-
sion Immediately following the roar of
the underground inferno black damp
poured out of the pit mouth, inviting
suffocation and death TO those who would
gladly have entered and gone to the res
cue A temporary cage was rigged up
at the air shaft and rescuers went down.
a CHASTITY sight met their gaze Mangled
bodies were found on all sides. The mine
looked like a total wreck. The reseuers.
pushed on and soon fourteen men were
taken out Some of these were dying,
and nearly all were horribly mangled.
Fire broke out in the mines, aud II any
OF the men still there were alive there
was every indication that they would be
suffocated by smoke and their bodies
burned,
