MANY DISASTERS.
! Lives Lost in Mines in Pennsylvania
and MexicO-Thirty Perish
in Nevada Desert.

Mahanoy City, Pa, Feb. 1.-Five
men were instantly killed Saturday
night in the Maple Hill colliery of the
Philadelphia & Reading Coal & Iron
company. The men were killed by an
explosion of powder in a steel cage in
which they were being hoisted. The ex-
plosion ripped the cage apart and the
mangled forms of the rock men fell
300 feet to the bottom of the shaft. The
head of one of the men was blown of.
Monterey, Mexico, Feb. 1.-Word has
been received from Victoria, capital of
the state of Tamaullaps, that IA men
were killed Saturday in mine acct
dent near that city. Sixteen men, it is
stated, were being hoisted out of the
mine in a huge lift after their days
work, when the engineer, by some mis-
reached the surface, and few seconds
later the cable broke, precipitating all
the men to the bottom of the shaft, a
distance of 1900 feet. Fourteen were
killed outright, one was seriously in
jured and one is missing.
Pittsburg, Feb. IAN explosion of
natural gas in the cellar of the home of
Henry Magel, in West Liberty, Sunday
was the cause of the deaths of two per-
sons and the severe injury of six 9TH
ers.
Los Vegas, New, Feb. Thirty
bodies Of men who persisted in the Ne
vada desert from thirst and hunger
have been found by a party of surveyors
who are an advance party of the new
San Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake
railroad. They died while attempting to
cross the waste area that stretches a
distance of so miles from Los Vegas to
the California line. The 80 bodies were
all found within radius of quarter of
mile around dead Mans Well"
This Dead Mans Well' is about half
way across the barren territory that di-
vided the little settlements of southern
Nevada from the hills of California. 1t
was sunk many years ago to provide
water for the people who attempted to
cross the desert on foot in spite of warn
ings. Water, which was struck at a
depth of 1875 feet, proved to be brackish
with salt and unfit to drink. To drink the
water means madness. Hundreds prob
ably have drunk it, only to become raw
ing mad and aimlessly wander about I'M
til heat added to other suffering brought
death as relief.

PARLIAMENT OPENED.
King Edward Touches Upon Many
Subjects in His Address
from the Throne.

London, Feb. 3.-King Edward
opened parliament Tuesday with all
the ceremonial that has been in vogue
since his accession to the throne. None
of the familiar outdoor features was
lacking. The weather conditions, how
ever. were too depressing to permit Of
much enthusiasm.
Early in the day occurred the time
honored search of the vaults of the
house of parliament for conspirators,
and later came the crowds, under for
est of umbrellas, always eager for any
thing in the way Of pageantry, but their
ranks were thinned by the inclement
weather. In the passage of the royal
procession along the troop-lined route
from Buckingham palace to ST. Ste
phen's there was no novelty introduced,
and the effect was sadly married by the
drenched appearance of the cortege.
Half dozen state carriages with suites
preceded the ornate coach Of state,
drawn by eight cream-colored Han
overans, and bearing the king and
queen.
After entering the house of lords by
the royal gate, beneath the Victoria
tower, their majesties were ROBBED and
preceded by the state regalia, passed
in procession to the chamber where the
lords had assembled to hear the kings
speech.
Touching on the Alaska decision, the
kings speech said that on some points
the verdict was favorable to the British
claims and on others it had been adj
verse. Much as this last circumstance
was to be deplored, 1t must neverthe-
less be a matter for congratulation that
the Misunderstanding, in which an
cient boundary treaties, made in ignor-
ance of geographical facts, are so fertile,
have in this case been finally removed
from the field of controversy.
The crisis in the far east is touched
upon briefly in the kings speech as fol-
lows:
81 have watched with concern the
course of the negotiations between the
governments of Japan and Russia in
regard to their respective interests in
China and Corea, and a disturbance of
lne peacS III tHoae regions coulu Hol
but have 0eplorable consequences. Any
assistance which my government can
usefully render toward the promotion
of pacific solution will be gladly af-
forded."
The speech makes the usual reference
to the satisfactory character of foreign
relations, touches upon the conclusion
of the Anglo-French arbitration agree
ment as being "a happy illustration of
the friendly feelings of the two coun-
tries" and refers to the Somaliland ex-
petition and to the Macedonian re-
forms, expressing the hope that the
practical measures for the ameliora-
ton, so sorely needed. Of these unhappy
regions" will be carried out during the
present respite in the disturbances.

have, for the most part at; least, made
good nominations for the district bench
so good that T he Journal does
not feel called upon to make any dis
tinctions at this time between them.
But impressed strongly, as we believe
most careful men are, and as the non
.partizan scheme Of, nominating argued,
with the desirability Of maintaining a
so-called non-partizan bench, we hope
that the democratic judges now on the
bench will not be ignored by republican
voters simply. because they are desig-
mated on the ballots as democrats.
Judge Pond has been on, the district
bench longer than any man now serv-
ing in that capacity. Judge Brooks has

blood, and join in the common effort to
make such bloody conflicts as they are
engaged in as nearly impossible of re-

the higher impulsion, can make them.
