Fsirmont, w. Va, Oct. 11.-An ex-
plosion occurred in the New England
coal mines, IL miles from here, this
afternoon. Three hundred men are iD
the mine. Six are missing and the
mine is on fire.
About 5 o'clock this morning q ter
rife explosion occurred In the New
England mines about two miles from
this place, from which fierce fire is now
burning 10 the mine near two miles
from the main entrance. One miner
had fred shot and left 1t which set
the coal on fire, thus ignitiug the gas.
About 800 men are employed in the
mine.
At an early hour five or six Italians were
working and these are beyond the fire with
no possible chance for escape. Every effort
has been made to smother the flames. w. B.

VIRGINIA REPUBLICANS.

Virginia republicans, in common with
others OF the South, are seeking the
outlook for patronage under the new
dispensstion. No immediate changes
in federel,plsces 10 the State are expect
ed, but the time will come when CON-
missions of numerous officers expire.
Accordingly State Chairman Park Ag-
new and Senator Scott, OF West Vir.
ginis, who take most interest In the for
tunes OF Virginia republicans, have been
quietly surveying the field. They have
made several visits to republicans close
to the administration. Senator Scott
after stsyiGg in Washington several
days, during which time he visited the
White House and conferred with the
President, National Committeeman
Kerens and Payne, and others, left last
evening for Boston.
In the event that the President should
seem inclined to lay hands on any OF the
Virginia patronage, it is quite certain
that Judge Wsddell, OF the Federal
Court, will be kind Of arbiter of re-
publican destinies 10 the State. The
officeh olders seem willing to leave mat
tiers to him, claiming that he is now on
the bench, removed from the heat of
partisan aud factionsl politics and able
TO pass calm judgment on the qualifics.
ton OF aspirants.
The national committeeman recently
10 Washington to confer with the Presi-
dent, have discussed among themselves
the situation 10 Virginia. 10 years Como
by the national committee has spent
thousands OF dollars 10 the State to no
avail. This year the national commit
tee, it says. has no money for such pur-
poses, but two or three men OF wealth
and OF influence have raised purse to
help out the Virginia brethren in their
expenses. One OF theee is-Se nstor Han
GA. There is no expectation that the
Virginia republicans are going to elect
their ticket, but the national commit
teemen think they deserve some finan-
cial recognition. After the disastrous
experience of 1896 in the use of funds
10 Virgiois, il has been deemed best this
year to advise the negroes In the black
belt to remain away from the polls.
Chairman Agnew has been urged to
impress the wisdom of this policy upon
the negro voters az strongly as possible.

EPISCOPAL CONVENTION.

The triennial convention of the Epis-
copal Church of America accomplished
much routine work yesterday, but
made little progress toward disposing
of the canon on marriage and divorce,
which came up before a committee
while In the house OF deputies. The
discussion was OF purely technical
character. The fourth and most i'm
portant section OF the canon, which was
adopted by the bishops, practically for
bidding the marriage of divorced per.
sons, was not reached. An attempt
was made to have the matter discussed
behind closed doors, but 1t failed.
President Lindsay appointed Joseph
Packard, of Maryland, chairman of the
committee OF the whole. After consid-
cradle debate the first two sections and
the first two paragraphs OF section 3
were adopted. Paragraph 2 OF section
3 was amended by striking out the
word "nor" after the words two wit
nesses." As amended she paragraph
reads:

predictions for modern republican
ideas on expansion, conquest, etc,
have attracted the attention Of Mr..

enmity of those 10 the Palmetto

FRIDAY EVENING. oor. II. 1901
Ia WAS earnestly hoped by many

Ia WAS earnestly hoped by many
people who last spring voted for mem
bars of the constitutional convention
that that body would draw the line on
all people, associations or factions who
attempted to have engrossed In the
new constitution anything which 10
any way encroached upon the liberties
or privileges ell should enjoy under
the provisions Of the Declaration oil
Independence, the Constitution OF the
United States or the Magma Charta OF
VirRinia--its time-honored Bill oil
Riehts-and 1t is with sincere regret
that certain individuals have been al
lowed to "creep In unawares" and mar
the proposed instrument with narrow
minded provisions in the shape OF
abridements of the liberties Of citizens
and tax payers. While not spologists
for drunkards or incorporate people OF
auy class, it is not clear to us why
people who for reasons best known to
themselves abstain from the use OF
certain articles of food aud drink should
he allowed to become Mahomets in
this land of the free and destroy the
vine for no other reason than the fact
that certain individuals refuse to con-
troll their sppetites. Many people kill
themselves from over-eating, yet no
one would think of ostracisiDg butchers
and bakers for that reason. A dis
patch from Richmond today was as
follows:
"The temperance people have scored
q strong point in their fight for more
stringent regulations as to the grant
ing of LIQUOR licenses. The committee
on bill OF rights will report to the con-
yention an Endorsement OF the Barbour
Quarles resolution, which provides
that no license for the sale OF liquor
shall be granted unless the application
is Endorsed by o msj ority Of the voters
10 that district"
Under the laws and traditions OF this
country, the question might be asked,
What right has a majority to abridge
the liberties OF minority in q matter
OF eating or drinkingp Should the
above notion become part OF the con-
stitution-and 1t Ia earnestly hoped for
the intelligence OF the State 1t will
not-haven't people who are sverse to
the use OF tobacco the same right to
supplement the new constitution
with trammels to the trade in that
plant If not the Introduction of its use ?
Most people who have given the mat
ter thought earnestly protest against
the constitution becoming bludgeon
for enforcing the notions of certain in
dividuais who if allowed hand In
framing the instrument would destroy
the vines. the Indian plant, have cur
few bells and finally drive all the
capital and business from the State.
Such people never study political
economy, but imagine a community
should wear their green spectacles at
all times.
