FIRE IN A MINE.
Heavy Loss at LatrObe, Pa. Fear
That Several Miners Have
Lost Their Lives

Latrobe, Pa, April 29.-The entire
tippIe, engine house and boiler house
of the Dorothy coal and coke plant Of
the American Steel and Wire com
pany is smoldering mass of ruins,
and it is rumored that either four or
six miners have lost their lives, but at
this time the rumor cannot be verified.
The loss is estimated at $3.50, 900, fully
insured. Two persons are known to
be injured. They are: Superintend-
ent Rodgers, suffocated while endeav-
oring to rescue entombed miners; Will
liam Gill, suffocated while assisting
superintendent Rodgers in the work
Of rescue. Five miners were known
to have been in the mine at the time,
but they knew nothing of the fire until
- men descended the air shaft, which
is $50 feet deep, and told them of the
fact. They were rescued, but there
are rumors that six more were in the
mine at the time. Thirty-nine mules
were at the bottom of the shaft, and
these have undoubtedly persisted in
the flames.

Galena, Ill, April 29.-The seventy

occasion was the tenth of the series
and was in every respect successful
Rev. Frank w. Gunsaulus, the orator
of the day, in his address said:
"We are worthy of the memory of Grant
only when we have his magnanimity
straightforwardness heroism and sense Of
justice toward the oppressed of every race
1t is demoralizing for us to parade our
shallow skepticism as to the value of
emancipation and the necessity of honest
suffrage for the negro in the presence
of this great name and seek to simulate
contentment as to the condition Of the
freed men when the thunder of his uncom-
promising Righteousness fills our ears
Justice must be done to the negro who
has the ballot in his hands and the fran
chise must be protected or we must at last
sink into abysses Of hypocrisy with Grants
monument casting a shadow over US.
"Our American life needs now as never
before to emulate the man who was as
gentle as he was stSong, who never knew
how to boast and who believed in the sim
pl1c1ty of Righteousness. 1t was Grant who
prevented the republic from breaking it's
moral contract made by the greenback
and it will be the American spirit such
DIS we tIeu saw lDcdTndIeQ IN Grant at a
moment when dividends were counted
more precious than honor or manhood
which shall now redeem our pledges to
the negro who was as effective as the
greenback in helping to purify our flag.
when Grant sent Sheridan to Louisiana
to carry justice to the negro, his was
republicanism which must always believe
that a flag worthy of respect will protect
its citizens, black or white, from outrage
and wrong. 1t will require a stern hero
ism at the north to beat back a wave of
supercilious and unmanly prejudice
against the negro which will as practical
~ deprive him of his civil rights as that
same prejudice once enslaved him ar the
south. 1t is a great day when Wise, of

to permit Lincoln and Grant to be inef-
fective against the slave power nearly 40

NOT GUILTY.
Jury Acquits Callahan in Cudahy
kidnapping Case and Is Re-
buked by Judge.

Omaha, Neb., April 29.-James CAL
lahan was declared not guilty Sunday
of any completely in the kidnapping
of Edward Cudahy, Jr., shortly after
nine o'clock Sunday morning. The
jury signified to Judge Baker through
a bailiff that it was ready to report,
having been out since $50 o'clock Sat-
urday night. A small audience of SO
attorneys and interested parties had
heard the news and were waiting when
he II men filed in. The foreman an
nounced that the verdict was mot
guilty
The judge had evidently expected
different verdict, and was openly
disappointed. He wheeled in his
chair and, addressing the jury, re-
buked them in the most vigorous
terms:
eff Callahan had made his own choice of
a jury he could not have selected u men
who would have served him more faithful
ly. If the state for its part had made the
selection, I know of nc men it could have
named who could have been less careful
of it's interests. The jury is discharged
without the compliments of the court and
the prisoner is likewise turned loose as to
this trial, [ presume to continue the GRIM
inaI practices in which you have failed to
check him. / do not know what motive
actuated you in reaching this decision, but
[ hope none Of you will ever appear again
in this jurybox''
AS far as could be ascertained from
the jurymen, there was at no time any
serious differences as to their opinion
of Callahan's innocence. Three were
inclined to favor a verdict of guilty,
but were soon convinced by their col
leagues that a reasonable doubt ex-
listed.

nothing can persuade him to break
silence. He was employed in shin
