Vendome Opera House

Fresh from a Southern tour,
which embraced a short and sue
cessful engagement, comes the
Townsend Vaudeville Company,
playing here to morrow night at
the Vendome Opera House. The
appearance in this city Of Il regular |
Eastern vaudeville company es-
tablishes a precedent as far as
local tbeatrlcals are concerned.
and is in itself quite novelty.
The press and public have been
unstinted in their praise off Miss
Townsend, the handsome Soprano
soloist, and her splendid company
of select artists, all of whom have
been unusually successful all
through the country. Speaking
of Miss Townsend's abilities to
please as singer the Picayune
said of her recent debut before
the theatre goers of that city:
s'She conquered her audience SO
completely with her beautiful
soprano that there was absolutely
no doubt as to her success here,
and she combined her abilities as
a singer with an unusually charm
ing stage presence that at once
appealed to all who saw her"
Among the acts that go to
make of Miss Townsend's support,
the Kinners, marvellous equili-
brists, have caused sensation
wherever they have appeared
In lifting and balancing heavy
weights, the Kin ners are said to
be unequaled and the daring orig
inality of their work has been
generally commented on.
Lozelle, the sensational gymnast
gives an exhibition that is at once
unique and interesting. Nor will
the work of the artistic fun max
ers be overlooked, for Mccarthy
and Bell, the excellent black come
dams are numbered among the
most interesting numbers on the
programme.
The. Four Rainbows, singing
and dancing celebrities, apart
from their splendid dancing, are
alleged to be singers OF no mere
ability.
The Graphascope is also billed,
for part, and all new velws will
be presented by the Edison pheno-
menal entertainer and instructor.

pear here but one night, as they

A BLOW TO BRYANISM
What the Defeat of Senator Jones in
Arkansas Means

Washington, March 81. Senator
Jones's defeat inlthe Arkansas prima-
ries is the most welcome news Demo-
Gratis in Congress have received dur
ing the session. The election of new
senator from Arkansas will make the
change of Senate leadership from
Jones to German an easy and natural
step, His position as head of the
Democratic national committee car
ried with it the leadership of the min
ority.
Jones is no match for Aldrich. The
Younger Democratic senators have
long since broken away from him.
Patterson, Dubois, Bailey and Cul-
bertson havehad neither time nor in
clnation for conferences with Jones.
In the Senate he has been "A more dis
NAL failure as Ia manager, if such
thing be possible, than as the head of
the Democratic national campaign
organization. Aldrich Is the smooth
est manipulation who has ever sat in
the Senate. The only man in the
Democrat party who can approach
him is German and had Jones been
reelected his pastTecord proves that
he would have sulked when his mantle
was shifted to the Marylander. Sena-
tors who will not approve the nomi-
nation of German for the Presidency
will unhesitatingly follow his state
leadership.
The triumph Of Ex-Governor Clark
in Arkansas only accentuates the
change of political sentiment in the
South While Senator Jones's con-
nection with the alleged Cotton Bale
trust is assigned Gas the chief reason
for the revolt against him, it is ap-
parent that the Democrats of the
South have grown tired of carrying
dead timber. Bryan and Jones and
all that they stand forare strong only
in Missouri, Texas and some states
in the West. The selection of Benja
min Gable to manage the congression-
al campaign was the most convincing
proof that could be offered that Dem
ocratic congressional leaders wanted
a new deal.

that Stanley, Clark and Nelson we're
for Morse, and then campaign was
commenced for one more vote
GODDARD aud Grimes declared for the
reelection of D. w. Finney. Cole
was against the Morse scheme, but
did not want to be forced to show his
hand, being candidate for Gov
ernor.
Albaugh, LELAND and the rest of the
bunch of Bailey men were backing
Morse
Nobody knew just how the contest
would end when the council met this
afternoon, but the first ballot showed
that Finney could not win. His friends
then hurried to Morse.

tion in the fight will help him in his
campaign for denomination.

A MINE EXPLOSION
Fearful Explosion of Gas in a Coal
Mine


Mine
Chattanooga, Tenn, March 3l.-
At 4:45 o'clock this afternoon an ex-
plosion of gas in the Nelson mine of
the Dayton Coal ard Iron Company,
at Dayton, Tenn, ignited the dry coal
dust in the mine and caused terrific
explosion. Twenty-Five men are know
to be dead. Ten bodies have been re-
moved. Twelve bodies are still in the
mine.
Gas exists in the Nelson mine, and
the men are required to use safety
lamps. 1t is the rule of the company
for the miners TO place their fuses to
be lighted for the blasts Just before
quitting work each day, and there are
workmen known as fire men," who
go through the mine after all the
miners are out and set of these blasts
The miners quit work at 4:30 o'clock
this afternoon. 1t takes them about
forty-fve minutes to get out of the
mine. The two "fire men" today, who
are supposed To have caused the eX-
plosion, are Lark Hunter and John
Harney. They shots the blasts about
4:45 o'clock, before all the miners
could get out of the mine. 1t is sup
posed that one of the fuses was de-
fective and resulted in what is known
as a "blown blast"
The flame shooting out from the
blast ignited the gas, which, in turn,
ignited the accumulation of dry coal
dust in the mine. The explosion that
followed was terrific. The flames shot
out of the mouth of the mine and the
shock completely wrecked the shed at
the mine entrance. Three men were
killed while standing outside the mine,
and two were seriously and one fatally
injured.
This mine has been the scene of two
serious explosions in the past. In
| 1889 four men were killed and eight
seriously injured by an explosion Of
gas.
December 20, 1898, an explosion o
mine dust occurred in which twenty.
eight lives were lost This was caused
by miner carrying an open lamp
contrary to regulations.
In May, 1901, an explosion of Q
similar nature occurred in the Shall
day mine, operated by thelsame com
pany, in which twenty-one lives were
| lost.
The force of the explosion in th'
Nelson mine today was terrible
Bodies were literally mangled anC
torn to pieces.
The company states that there were
but seventy-fve men at work in the
mine today. Most of them were out o
the mine when the explosion occurred
