MINING HORROR.
Dynamite Explosion Causes Twelve
Deaths and Many Injuries.

Dynamite Explosion Causes Twelve
Deaths and Many Injuries.
Philippi, w. Va, Nov. 4.-One of the
greatest calamities in the history of
Barbour county occurred early yester-
day morning at the mines of the
Southern Coal and Transportation COM
pany at Berrysburg, when an explo-
sion OF dynamite wrecked a portion of
the mine, resulting in the death of at
least IL miners and injuring several
others. The explosion was so great
that mules were killed at the mouth of
the mines and cars were blown 40 feet
from the track. The dead were horri-
by mutilated, portions of legs, arms
and trunks being thrown about pro-
miscuously. The explosion was prob
ably the result of an accidental dis
charge of dynamite caused perhaps by
the conclusion of a blast.

HICKS NOVEMBER WEATHER.
Another Run of What Old Probs. Has
In Store.

Combined disturbances are very apt
to bring on autumnal storms during
the first week in November, turning to
sleet and snow in northern PORTION,
ending in fierce gales over the lakes
and north Atlantic. A general cold
wave will bring up the rear of this
storm, and a caution is given shipping.
Abaut the 18th a general reaction TO
storm conditions will return and more
storms of rain and snow will move
eastward over the country. A decided
dash of early winter will follow this
period lasting to the list. The moon
is at its extreme south point on the
23d and northerly gales and cold will
follow promptly. The last storm Pc
riod of November is central on the 9th
and energetic storms of rain and snow
will pass eastward over the country
on the 9th to 30th and cold wave
will be in sight as the month goes out.

WILL DEBS WITHDRAW?
Cooperative Element Urges Him to do
So.


Boston, Nov. 3.-The Globe prints an
open letter to Eugene v. Debs. urging
This withdrawal in favor of Bryan, the
signers being Prof. Frank Parsons
president of the National Public Own
ership league; B. o. Flower, founder OF
the Arena; Ellwood Pomeroy, presi-
dent of the National Direct Legislation
society; and DR.. G. w. Calvin, all per-
sonal friends of Debs. The signers are
all believers in a cooperative common
wealth, but are of the opinion that It's
advent will be fastened by Bryan's
election. The signers declare Bryan
represents the movement against mo-
nopoly, that it is better to take the
first step towards improved conditions
than no step at all. They claim a vote
for Bryan is the first practicable step
toward a cooperative commonwealth,
though neither Bryan nor the demo
cratic party may realize the fact.

is THE ST. PAUL's NEW LINE TO
EVANSVILLE.
SIX MORE MILES OPERATED
And Completion of Road Expected by
First of the Year-Ruling of Public
Interest Relative to Passengers
Blight to Seat-Other News of the
Rail.

Passenger trains have commenced to
run on an additional six miles OF the
new Fox Lake and Evansville line of
the Milwaukee and st. Paul, between
Nippersink and Scion Mills. lhis is
the line which by the first of the year
is to give the st. Paul company more
direct route from Madison and this
part of the state to Chicago, via James
vile. The train departs from Chicago
at $40 D. m. daily, runs through to
Scion Mills, arriving there at 5:45 p.
m. Returning, the train departs from
Scion Mills at 700 a. m. daily, arriv-
ing in Chicago at $40 a. m. A dis
patch from Walworth speaks of the
line as follows: THE new extension
Of the Milwaukee road from GAINESVILLE
TO LibertyvIlle is nearing completion
Large forces of men are rapidly push
ing the work OF laying the track both
ways from the Aliens Grove crossing
The men working south are using a
track-laying machine and are covering
about two miles day. -Four engines
with double crews are following the
steel gangs with gravel which they
obtain at the pit near Alton. Coal
chutes and water tank are to be
placed at Walworth, and this is to be
made the principal stopping place on
the new line between GAINESVILLE and
Chicago. Walworth bids fair to get a
good snare of the summer passenger
traffic to Geneva lake from both direc-
tions, as it is only five-minutes' ride
and costs but nickle from Walworth
to the head OF the lake over the cleo
trio line. The prospects are good for
the new division to be in full opera
ton by January l."

An important decision on a passen-
gers right to sea- in railroad car
has just been given by New York
court. Suit was brought by passen-
ger against the New York Central rail-
road tor being deprived of his seat in
q >ar. The question Involved was
| whether man, when he puts his va
lise or any hand baggage into a seat,
| thereby reserves it for his own occu-
pancy and is legally and morally en-
| titled to it. The c. rt decided that
when passenger buys a ticket he pre-
sumes mat he is to get seat, and
unless there is some unusual condition
| ne is legally entitled to it. Ii he en-
tiers an ordinary coach where no seats
are reserved and there is no trainman
to usher him to a scat it is the Gus
tom of railway companies to allow
the passenger to choose his own seat.
This practically amounts to a regula-
ton of the company. Therefore, the
court ruled, ii a person occupied a
seat, and then for any reason LETT it
without in some way marking it as
reserved by himself. and returned to
find 1t occupied by another passenger,
he has no right to ask that passenger
TO give up his seat. If, however, he
leaves his cane, umbrella, or handbag
in his seat when he goes to the plat
form to buy a paper, or for any pur-
pose, and finds his baggage moved and
the seat occupied by another, he has
legal as well as moral right to
hat seat. The court further held that
a passenger was entitled to but one
seat, and could not reserve one seat in
an ordinary coach while occupying an

THAT DISARMAMENT STORY,
Eighth Regiment Has Received AS
surance It Is Not So.

According to the Pottsville Chronicle,
Colonel Hoffman has received assur-
ances that 1t has not been decided that
the Eighth regiment is the one to be
disbanded.
The article, after referring to the
story printed in The Tribune, goes on
to say:
Colonel Hoffman and Major Holmes
Immediately started inquiries to learn,
II possible, the truth or falsity of the
story. Communication was opened by
Chairman John T. Shoener with the
adjutant generals office and General
Stewart himself answered the phone
and declared positively that there is
no truth whatever in the rumor.
"He says 1t is absurd to take the
newspaper rumors as fact, and both he
and the governor have repeated that
they know nothing whatever of such a
movement, and that nothing will be
done without full consideration and a
hearing of the friends of the Eighth.
"If the regiment has any friends in
the county this is the time for them to
assert their friendship and to turn
every stone to prevent this threatened
outrage"
As will be noticed, the adjutant gen.
eral does not give any assurance that
the regiment Will not be disbanded.

We have just received a copy of the
catalogue of the State Normal School
at Bloomsbury, Pa. This school Is
recognized as one of the best in the
United States, and, as proof of this
fact, draws patronage that extends
from Maine to California. In fact, we
are informed several students from
Japan and Porto Rico, and probably
from other foreign countries will be in
attendance during the coming year.
This indicates that the school has an
international reputation. This high
standing is the result of correct meth
ods and thorough teaching by college
and university trained specialists.
This school maintains, by charter
privilege, as a continuation of the
Bloomsbury Literary Institute, an ex-
cellent preparatory collegiate depart
ment and a music department, which
has been recognized as being equiva-
lent to a good conservatory.
Those who expect to attend school
this fall, even If they have chosen
their place of attendance, can learn
from the Bloomsbury catalogue much
that will be of advantage to them
wherever they may go; and If they
have not made a choice, they will do
we'll to remember that no school is so
good as the best. 90

Mrs. Pearl Watson, OF Throop, re-
ceived injuries, which, in all likeli-
hood, will prove fatal, Thursday night,
as the result of falling through the
Richmond breaker bridge, at Dickson
City.
The accident occurred at exactly the
same spot where william Clemmons
and Mrs. Jane Edwards, OF Price
burg, met their deaths a month ago,
Mrs. Watson falling through the same
gaping hole in the ties
Complaint has been made that in
one month after two deaths occurred
at the bridge, that the faults in the
planking have not been remedied, and
n repetition of the calamity prevented.
While 1t is private property, the tres
tie is nevertheless frequently used as
shortcut by pedestrians.
Mrs. Watson had her left arm frac-
tured in two places, and her right
arm in one. DIR. Kennedy, of Dick
son City, who is attending her, fears
that she has also sustained serious in
ternal injuries.
FELL THIRTY FEET.
The accident occurred about 10
o'clock. Mrs. Watson and a friend,
Mrs. Franklin, also Of Throop, were
walking homeward from Dickson and
! had crossed the bridge safely, when
they met friend, Martin Judge, of the
/ Throop boulevard. They turned and
/ walked back towards Dickson with
him. When the reached the fatal
spot, Mrs. Watson slipped and fell
through the hole, striking on the
Delaware and Hudson tracks below.
AS she fell she shrieked. The tracks
are about thirty feet below the bridge
When Judge and Mrs. Franklin
reached their friend they found her
Unconscious, and blood flowing freely
/ from her body. DIR. Kennedy was
| hastily summoned and Mrs. Watson
was taken to the home of her brother
| Elias Thomas, of Throop. She is a
| young woman, about % years of age
| and possessed of a strong constitu-
| ton, which is now standing her in
