HOME RULR IN THE DIPPING
But Attacks on wyndham Threaten tc
 Spoil All.


 Cork, Oct. 16.-Addressing a monster meeting here to-day William O'Brien declared that home rule was in the offing since it was believed the Dur raven scheme of an Irish financial com mission had sympathy in official quar- ters; but the foolish conduct of the Irish party in fighting Chief Secretary Wyndharn. the lord lieutenant, and An- thony Mcdonnell, under secretary to the lord lieutenant of Ireland, who were pledged to conciliation, threatened to spoil all. It was not surprising that Wyndharn repudiated the Dunraven scheme, for no man could trust his po- litical reputation in the hands of men who behaved so foolishly as did the Irish members in the last session of parliament.

BATTLE RENEW ED.
Russians Capture Six Guns and Re

Mukden, Oct. 1.-The battle was re- newed and continued throughout the night, being especially heavy at mid- might The Russians retain their po- sition along the Shakhe river and have made frequent attacks upon the Jap- anese, capturing six of the latter's guns The eastern army is helping the western forces. There has been very heavy artillery fire to-day. The fight ing now centers on the plain.
 Mukden, Oct 16.-10:25 p. m. Shakhe lis again in the hands of the Russians. After the latest evacuation of the vil- lage by the Russians the Japanese fail- ed in an attempt to re-occupy it, and now the village is held by Russian in- fantry. There is every indication that the Russian right flank is about to re- |sume the offensive and re-occupy the positions held by them on October 10 and Il. The Japanese resistance is growing weaker, and they are appar- iently preparing to evacuate. Towards the east and center the Japanese are more stubborn and are showing more resistance. Some of the positions on the fighting line have already changed hands ten times.
 It is impossible to say how long the contest will continue before one side or the other is worn out.
 As this dispatch is being finished the sound of increasing carnonade from the center indicates that something un- usual is happening.

STUDENT INSTANTLY KILLED
SKULL or PROMINENT WILL
 IAMS ATHLETE CRUSHED.


 Hotel When His Head Strikes the
 Top of the Door-Had Been Examin-
 ing the Mechanism.
 North Adams. Mass, Oct. 1s.-Ed- ward Garvin Shea, popular student and prominent athlete at Williams col lege was instantly killed in an elevator accident at the Wellington hotel, this city, this morning. Shea. who was a member of the sophomore class at Will Hams, was the son of John l.. Shea, of Brooklyn, N. Y., and was twenty years .oi age.
 Accompanied by William Waterworth, also a resident of Brooklyn, and mem- Der of the freshman class, Shea came here from Williamstown last night. At two o'clock this morning the two stu dents went to the Wellington hotel to wait. while a carriage was brought from nearby stable to take them back to the college.
 While in the hotel office Shea became interested in the mechanism of a small passenger elevator, and finally stepped Into the car and began operating 1t. A few minutes later Waterworth also entered the car and the two, in com pany with Night Watchman Alexander Young, rode to the ton floor.
 The watchman then, according to his story, ran the elevator towards the ground floor Just before reaching the lower floor he says, Waterworth grasp ed the controlling lever to stop the car, but accidentally pushed it too far over, thus reversing the power, and as he stepped out the car shot upward. Al the same instant Shea tried to step out on the office floor. His head struck the top of the door leading to the elevator well and his skull was crushed. Death was instantaneous. Watchman Young brought the car. to an abrupt stop, and as he did so Shea's body fell on the office floor and then rolled into the well and fell to the basement floor Shea last spring played shortstop or the varsity baseball team, and he had also pitched for his class nine. He was one of the candidates for the varsity football team.

THE SILENT JUDGE
HAS SPOKEN AT LAST
SMOKING COAL MINE
WAS INVESTIGATED YESTERDAY
AFTERNOON-TH SMOUL-
DERING FIRES HAVE
CAUSED UNEASINESS

AS noted in yesterday evenings
paper, for a year rast smoke has
been seen escaping at intervals from
crevice in the Lilly and Conway
stone quarry, everything the old Pier
ing on Washington street. Though
many saw it and wondered as to the
cause, yet none considered it suffi-
GENTLY serious in character to merit
Investigation. Those personally in
terested in the mines gave little heed
to it, because all the available coal
at that place had been taken out
years ago. others seeing the smoke
thought it came from blasting in the
quarry, and which being confined for
the time being, finally made its exit
a seam in the rock-ledge at
the point above named. On Monday
afternoon, however, sentiment sud
denly changed. y mufIled rumblins
sound was heard by those in the I'M
mediate vicinity, followed by the
crashing of stone from the top and
front side of the quarry. The Ital-
ians. occupying either side of the
street and in front of it. rushed out
to learn the cause; and seeing the
whole front end of the quarry rent
from top to bottom by perpendicular,
zigzag and horizontal seams. and the
hitherto pent up smoke now pouring
forth through the opening chasms
with increasing rapidly, their first
was that it was the crater
OF a volcano.
The matter was soon reported to
the authorities, who upon investiga
ton. found that the fire long smoul-
dering within the coal mine had con-
stunned the front pillars, when from
500 to 900 tons OF stone broke loose
from the quarry, part crashing into
the mine below. and part bullying
forward, which by its great weight
caused the earth to open in seams
about the huts, threatening to hurl
all together over the precipice upon
the railroad tracks below. The dan
ger in this respect, and from the
lOosened stone above them still eX-
lists. ]. C. Gaskill, a superintendent of
the F'airmont Coal Company, together
with Chief Reed and George H.
Richardson, took charge. and with
five or six assistants and hose, sue
ceeded in quenching the fire during
the afternoon yesterday.
