TWENTY-FIVE KILLED.
Explosion of Fire Damp in North Car.
olina Mine-Is the Second
Disaster.

CHARLOTTE, N. O., May 23.-The
most accurate information yet obtain
able this morning is that twenty-five
miners were killed In the Oumnook
mine disaster last night.
On Dec. 10, 1896, an explosion of fire
damp occurred in the Uumnock mines
and forty dead bodies we're taken out.
Extensive improvements have been
made since, however, and the mines
were regarded as free from fire damp.
Pennsylvania capitalists own the prop
erty.
The mines are situated at Cumnock,
in Chatham county, about six miles
from Sanford. The explosion occurred
at 4:3O O'Clock and is supposed to have
been caused by broken gauze In q
safety lamp. The accident was in
what is known as the East Heading
and between forty and fifty men were
in the mine at the time. Five were
brought out alive from the East Head
ing, while none Of the mem in the
other parts Of the mfrs were injured.
The disaster that occurred yester-
day is the fourth and in the disasters
about eighty-five men have lost their
lives and many others have been in
iured.

Do Men Loye4

from the Chicag0 Record.
Prof. Chrisman raised q storm Of
protest at the mothers congress In
Dea Moines on Tuesday by asserting
that men never love. Doubtless the
way In which his audience replied to
and repudiated his assertion was
tinged with a considerable amount Of
personal feeling, for most Of the
women present had igood right TO
believe that they were or had been
loved by man, but it was the natural
rebuke that thinking men and women
would give to such an opinion, which
was Objectionable not only in Itself
but In the place where 1t was uttered.
The assertion that men do not love
is not new. 1t Isl q part Of the doctrine
of the strictly materialistic school.
Prof. Ohrisman seems to have deviated
from the usual track of the pro-
ponents of the theory that love Is
merely manifestation of certain
nerve forces acting upon the brain, in
that he claimed that women loved,
although men did not. He was thus
inconsistent from the so-called scien-
tific point of view, and either ignorant
or mendacious from the standpoint OF
ordinary humanity. II he spoke
merely from his own experience he
was unsclentitic In generallzing from
limited knowledge of his subject; II
he professed to speak as an expert
who claimed to have carefully inves-
tigated what is called love he must
have had peculiar specimens OF man
kind under examination.
1t Is probable that few persons can
define exactly what they mean by
love, yet most people feel that they
know 1t when they see it-also when
they feel 1t. Life is full of disproof Of
this professors assertion. He must
be q singularly blind observer If he
has not seen hundreds of cases Of
mans unselfish devotion. Perhaps
the speaker correctly defined his own
theory Of mans love, but IL 80 most
likely he now regrets that he exposed
his incapacity 10 comprehend and feel
the spiritual love with which other
men are familiar,

WONDERFUL CLOCK.
Ingenious Watchmakers Have Con-
trived Theological Masterpiece.

LEEDS, May 24.--In the Grand Ar
cade of this city there has been erect
cd wonderful clock, which hourly
gives novel representation of the
British Empire.
The clock is the work of Messrs.
William Potts q Son, of Leeds, and is
claimed by them to be the greatest
'horologioaI feat OF the century.
Until the hands point to the quarters
only two figures, representing MALE
clad knights with appraised battle axes,
are visible. Immediately they have
chimed on adjacent gongs the real
display takes place.
A door opens and a British Grena-
dIer in full uniform marches forth, and
on reaching the center Of the plat
form faces to the front and salutes in
precise military fashion.
He Is followed bya smartly killed
Highlander, also a warrior, an irish
man, In the old time national cos
tune and carrying shillalah, q
Canadian boatman, and the dusky
figure Of Hindu, Each makes an
obeisance to the onlookers, and when
the last figure has returned Q cock
over the time piece flaps his wings
and crows three times, as II challeng-
ing the whole world.
Crowds visit the Leeds Arcade
daily to see this impressive tableau,
which, 1T may be added,is the outcome
exclusively Of British brains and
skill

THE frat practical step toward the
Improvement OF the White House was
taken by the Senate committee on ap-
preparations Thursday in reporting an
amendment to the sundry- civil bill
authorizing the president to appoint
an architect and landscape gardener,
each Of conspicuous ability in his pro-
fession, to join the chief Of engineers
OF the army In making an examina-
tion and submitting plans to congress
for Its enlargement and for the treat
ment Of that part OF the city which lies
between it and the Potomac river.
The business OF the President and
the social obligations imposed upon
him are increasing every year. The
clerical force Is enlarged yearly and
the number Of people who have to be
invited to state dinners and receptions
grows with the growth OF the country,
yet the Presidents house remains the
same as 1t was at the beginning of the
century, when the entire population
Of the country was not much greater
than that Of some OF the states. Every
body conceded the necessity Of pro-
viding q new residence for him or en-
larging the present one, but there is
such q difference Of opinion as to how
1t ought to be done that nothing is
accomplished. This action Of the Sem
ate committee, however, will start the
ball rolling and something practical
Will perhaps grow out of II.

THE Elsberry (Mo.) Democrat, q
most conservative, but loyal Demo-
cratic newspaper, believes that the
Democratic party should nominate
Democrats and along this line editor
iaIly says: "The nomination by the
Populists OF ex.Oongressman Towne
for Vice President has excited con-
siderable comment among Democrats,
who fear that Mr.. Towne will be
either forced upon the Democratic
ticket with Bryan, or that We will
have, as we did four years ago, a
double-tailed fusion. There is no
cause for alarm in this matter. 1t ia
hardly possible that the Democratic
National Convention will nominate
Mr.. Towne. While he acted with the
Democratic party in 1895 and will
probably act with 1t hereafter, yet
the masses of the party feel that no
one but Democrat with q Democratic
record should go upon the ticket this
year. II Mr.. Towne is the man that
his Democratic friends claim him to
be, he will not stand in the way Of
Bryan's success, and when the Ma
tional Convention nominates Bryan's
running mate, Mr.. Towne VIII retire
in order that a perfect fusion may be
made.

Mr.. Sam Morris, of this city, Is in
receipt of 10 letter from . prominent
business man in Illinois, who says that
the new Alton Accommodation train
from Mexico to Bloomington will be
put on shortly II the people along the
line will indicate an interest in this
matter and will write to 8. NJ. FELTON,,
president Of the Chicago & Alton. Re-
ferring to this matter the Roodhouse
Qll.) Herald says;
A O. q A. official states that the
principal reason why the proposed
Mexico Bloomington train was aban-
doned was its interference with work
trains in and out of Roodhouse. The
company has just commenced on q
bad grade west of Roodhouse, steam
shovel going to work, and 1t was de-
sIrable to have as few day trains at
that point as possible. The fat cars
for the work train were sent south
Friday for the purpose and it will be
about two months before the job is
completed. The Mexico train then
will be put on. The present time
card is but an experiment and is ad-
mitted so by the officials. Another
will succeed it in July which will
put on the Mexico train, restore train
10 to the north end, and cut the time
Of trains 81 and 81, the hummers,to IL
hours between Chicago and Kansas
City.

SOLID AGAINST aFALsE DOC
TRIEEs."

The Cincinnati EpqHirers one Of the
most loyal and enthusiastic Demo-
cratic papers published in the United
States, in answer to the accusation
that II was trying 10 create trouble, In
that ii favored the Democratic party
nominating Democrats on q Demo-
cratic platform, editoriaIly says:
The Enquirer is inharmonious be-
cause II does not accept the Populist
platform and the PopuIist nomination
for vice-president as conclusive as to
what the Democratic National Con-
vention should do. Still, 1t does not
indorse either Towne or the platform.
We are for the Democratic party. We
are for united Democratic action, and
believe that members of other parties
who want TO join with the party OF
Thomas Jefferson should walt till they
see what we have 10 ofler. It Ks Inn
possible to conceive OF anything more
incongruoua than an attempt to form
a junction Of real Democratic princi-
Piles and the communicate and social
istic heresIes Of the Sioux Falls declar-
alton. We are for the kind OF har-
mony that viii bring all elements Of
the Democratic party together, and
not drive Democrats away by winking
at false doctrines.
