ENTOMBED IN Il MINE
Officials Enter on Inspection Tour-Do
 Not Return.

BLUEFTELDS, w Va, Nov. 23.-- At II o'clock yesterday morning Super intendent Walter O'NIalley of the Pc cahontas Galleries company, along with State Mine Inspector William Priest, A. s. Hurst, chief coal inspector for the Castnor, Curran X Bullitt com pany of Philadelphia; Robert St. Clair, chief coal inspector; Morris St. Clair and William Oldham, substitute coal inspectors: Frazier G. Bell, mining en- gineer. and Joseph Cardwell, manager of the Shamokin Coal company of May bury, ". Va, entered the west main of the Southwest Virginia Improve ment company's collieries for the pur- pose of examining the true situation in regard to the recent explosion and fire in the Baby mine and have not been heard from.
 It was supposed that the Baby mine proper had been cut off from the West mine for the purpose of operating the West mine. The large fan in the West mine had been started at an early hour in the morning, and at Il o'clock it was thought that all gases originating from fire in the Baby mine had been forced from the main portion, and it was con- sidered safe to enter.
 At 6 D. m. party consisting of ex- perienced miners led by Assistant Su- perintendent King entered the mine to rescue the lost party of eight but soon they returned having encountered such quantities of black damp as to make it impossible to enter any distance into the mine. Assistant Superintendent King was completely overcome by the gas encountered and is now in critic al condition.
 All efforts are being used to recover the bodies of the inspecting party, but no hopes are entertained that any of them will be recovered alive.
 The secretary and treasurer of the Southwest Virginia Improvement com pany, c. s. Thorne of Philadelphia, is directly in charge of all movements at the mines.
 The fire that originally started in the Baby mine last Thursday morning and which was supposed to have been un- der control, is now burning furiously.
 All tire members of the lost party are prominent in the coalfield, and the ex- citement now prevailing at Pocahontas is intense. business having practically suspended. All the members of the party are married some having large families.

THE AMERICAN WAY.

Two facts have come out in cOnnec- ton with the awarding of medals, decorations and other henors for gal lantry in the war with Spain which have received only small share of public attention. One was the decis- ion of the board which recommended the distribution of these rewards, that the law prevented President Roosevelt from receiving the breyet rank pre- vious board had recommended. The other conspicuous fact was that the only gold medal voted to any commis- stoned officer of any branch of me service, army or navy. for gallantry, in the whole course of the war, was voted to Lieutenant Newcomb, who rescued the officers and crew of the torpedo boat Winslow during the Car denas engagement.
 That is the way things are done i'll America. It is not the European way of doing things. The continental system of reward is usually accorded to the rank of the beneficiary, with an occaional exception in favor of sub- altern which only proves the rule. The generals and high officers get the lions share and the men who win the victories are passed over in due course of red tape. There are few continent al boards which would have overlook ed the opportunity of conferring dis tinguished honor upon the ruler of their country. or who would not have strained a point in, his behalf. But the president of the United States is as rigidly barred as though he were the humblest private in the ranks, and the humblest private in the ranks is hon. ored as signally as though he were the general i'll command.
 It makes one glad and proud of the American way and is another answer to the oft-repeated charge that laws are for the rich alone and distinctions only for the influential. The charge really needs little refutation, but it is gratifying nevertheless when the proof of it's falsity is given in such conspicuous instances as those refer red to.-Kansas City Journal.

 From the looks of things now wres- ting will be one of the greatest sports in this city during the winter months. That is as it should be, for there never has been any cleaner or more exciting sport in Waterbury than this same wrestling. There are two matches on the boards now. and both are corkers. The first one will take place on Thanksgiving night and will be be- tween Lundin. the big Swede, of Wor- cester, and Prof Dwyer. This is q match that will create interest all over the country. and rightly so. A few weeks ago Dwyer wrestled Lundin i'll Worcester and would have beaten him had the strangle hold been barred. He secured the first fall OH clever wres- ting, but lost the match and the other two falls because Lundin stranglad him into unconsciousness. Since that match the cnief-of-police of Worcester has forbidden any more wrestling matches where the strangle hold is al- lowed. Dwyer agreed to wrestle Iun- din with that hold barred and insisted that he put up S100 as q side bet. This was done. or rather forfeit was post ed. and Dwver at once covered it. Lundin weighs twenty-five pounds more than Dwyer. but the latter says he will throw him that night or lose q leg. It will be one of the best matches ever seen i'll this city, for both are clever men.
 This morning George E. Harrington deposited with the sporting editor nf the Democrat certified check for $400 as purse for Prof Dwyer and Harvey Parker to contest for on the night of December 6. With the check was de posted the articles of agreement, swhich are given below. There also was deposited S100 by Prof Dwyer 10 guarantee his appearance on that night. and this was done for this pur- pose: Dwyer wrestles with Lllndin on Thanksgiving night and in case he is hurt i'll that match the $100 will be forfeited if he is unable to appear. Parker has deposited also $50 to guar antee his appearance. and from the looks of things it will be one of the corking matches of the season. First. however. comes the Lundin match. Which will be as hot as anything ever seen in Waterbury. and next will come the Parker match. Prof Dwyer will evidently be very busy man for tie next few weeks.
 ARTICLES OF AGREEMENT.

WATERBURY WINS ITS FIRST.
Elm City Polo Players Were De-
 feated Last Night.

Game Was Close and Interesting Un-
 til the Last Bell-The Wallingford
 Quintette Took the New Britain
 Team Into Camp.
 It was about 9:30 last evening when Referee Messer blew his whistle and started the polo game at the Auditor 5um. This is half an hour later than schedule time. the delay no doubt be- ing occasioned by the absence of one uf the players, Menard. perhaps, as lie holds . position ill Bridgeport and must give that his first attention. New Haven was Waterbury's opponent and 5he weakness of the Elm City second rush was apparent from the start. and no doubt saved the day for Water bury. The score was tied at the end of the first period. 2-2, and again at the end of the second period. 3-3. IL was also tied again during the third period at A.. so that the audience was kept on the anxious seat until the very close of the game, for there was only a minute or two of playing time left when Griffin put i'll the winning goal. Captain Conway worked with might and main to win the game and when his team was on top he showed it by his smiling countenance. but when it wasn't leading he was ordering his men here and there so anxious was he to again gain the lead. There was only small attendance and if Mana ger Harrington wants to hold the crowd he should provide some attrac- ton between and o'clock and then have the regular game started on time.

SENATOR BROWN AGAIN.
Mr. Brown.-Before a vote is taken
on this resolution it seems to me a
good deal of stress has been laid on
the proposition that the Bar Associa-
ton, by the adoption of this resolu-
ton. is passing or trying Judge Hum
phreys without giving him a chance
to defend himself. / do not take it
that way. The first four Whereas
are statements made with regard to
the judge. The last is: BE it resolv-
ed that a committee Of five members of
this association be appointed to for
mulate charges against the said A. S.
Humphreys. and to take dispositions
and statements of the members OF this
association and others, of and concern
ing the conduct and acts of the said
A. S. Humphreys and that said
charges and dispositions when so pre-
pared. be presented to the President
and Attorney General of the United
States by member or members of
this bar. to be appointed by said COM
mittee Of five. and all expenses" etc.
What Is that but giving him a right to
come before the committee and make
his defense, il any he has. The asser-
ton that we are prejudiciug him and
condemning him without chance for
