a HOT TIME.

French Deputies.

A dispatch from Paris says Satur
days sitting Of the chamber Of depu
ties was one of the stormiest and
most heated in recent years, the ex.
citement eliminating when Gabriel
Syveton, q prominent Nationalist
deputy, stepped to Gen. Andre, the
minister Of war, and slapped his face.
After accomplishing this feat Syveton
rctreated rapidly TO the uppermost
row of seats, taking refuge behind
members Of the opposition,
A tremendous tumult ensued, depu.
ties of all parties crowding upoa t-e
floor of the house, where free flyh,
was SION In progress. Speaker Bris-
son left the chair, thus susuendins
the sitting. Eventually order was
restored and, the sitting ing re-
sumed, Syveton's temporary exclusion
was voted. The offender, however. re
fused to quit his seat, and it became
necessary to again suspend tho sit
ting while he was removed by mill
tary guard.
1t is probable that this misconduct,
which occurred just before the final
division, materially contributed to
strengthen the position Of the cabinet,
which at one time seemed very CT iti.

just before the explosion, and no trace
Of him has since been found.
There we're 1880 pounds of dyna.
mite stored at the side Of deep rock
cut, which was used for blasting q
path for additional tracks. The ex.
plosion tore hole in the ground
eighty feet deep that Is now full OF
water from a hidden spring, wrecked
the Bond street bridge over the rail-
way tracks aud broke all the windows
within quarter Of mile. The force
Of the explosion, as Is usual, was down

Of the cut hurled large stones for
blocks. Many houses were shifted from
their foundations, walls were stripped
Of plaster and furniture was entered
Most Of the injured were caught by
falling ceilings and walls In the hous-

were started, but in each case the
flames were quickly extinguished
Chief OF Police Foley at once arrested

Mine Carriage Fell Thirteen Hun
dred Feet Killing Ten People.
One of the most appalling mine &C.
cidents In the history Of the Wyoming
valley for many years past occurred at
No. l Auchinc!oss shaft, operated by
the Deleware, Lack wanna and West
ern Coal company at Nanticoke, at an
early hour Wednesday morning by
which ten men were hurled to instant
death and three seriously injured. TIE
men were mostly all >unon the mine
carriage To De lowered TO the Workings
halnw. .
sfhe signal was given to the engi.
neer, who began lowering the men.
The carriage had gone but a few feet
when the engineer lost control Of his
engines, owing to the reverse levers
failing to work, and the carriage, with
its load OF human freight, ten in all
was dashed beyond the R,ss vein,
landing nearly 100 feet below the
surface and from there they were pre-
cipjtated 300 feet further into a sump.
Those who may not have been kill
ed outright were without doubt
drowned in the sump, which is fully
80 feet deep with water.
Up to o'clock Wednesday night no
human aid could reach them and
every man on the Inflated carriage has
been given up by the mine officials as
lost.
The victims, who were miners and
laborers, all resided in Nanticoke and
most Of them leave families. They
were Poles or Slaves with the excep-
tion of one named John Kemper.
Intense excitement continued to
prevail about the mouth of the shaft
Wednesday night. Women and chill
dren are running about crying and
moaning for those who are at the boz.
tom. There are fully 10 miners and
laoorers in the mine dragging the
sump for the bodies and 1t may re.

the dead can be IecOyered

the outlaws entered the bank one OF
them covered Cashier hIiddaugh, who
was the only occupant of the room and
demanded the cash from the vault.
Instead Of complying Middaugh
grabted a revolver and made a game
fight for life and money, firing sever
