Another Terrible Miae Disaster.

A telegram from ConnelsvilIe. Pa,
on Friday says: Four hundred miners
are entombed in the Darr mines, of the
Pittsburg Coal Company, at jacobs
Creek on the Youghiogheny river. Is
miles west of here. OF these four
hundred fully one hundred are Ameri
cans, the rest being principally HUI
garian.
A terrific explosion shook the viclni.
ty Of the mine yesterday morning and
announced to all the community that
q great calamity of some kind had oc
Cured down under the face. Soon
smoke began to tissue in heavy volumes
from the mouth of the mine which is
of the slope variety. The mou b of
the mine was wrecked aud this cir
cumstance, in connection with the
smoke and fire which was discovered
to be raging inside prevented effectu-
ally up to p. m any attempts at res
cue of the imprisoned men The
building of the Federal Supply Com
pany, adj ,cent to the entrance of the
mine, damaged by the fo!c of the
shock. On account of the violence OF
the explosion which rent the interior
Of the mine and the presence OF fire,
with the blocked condition Of the
mouth of the slope, it is not thought
there is much chance for the men in
side.

GREAT IS THE SOUTHWEST.

The Democrats of the Southwest,
that is of the 9th Congressional dis
trict, have just performed one Of their
accustomed and daring political feats.
In these they excel. With unerring
certainty they succeed in keeping the
Repu blican Congressman in place. and
steadily increase the Republican rep
resentation from that quarter in the
General Assembly of Virginia At the
same time, with a certainty that
passeth all understanding, they snug
ly nestle themselves in most of the
good places around Richmond. About
& out of of all the ''soft aisey jobs
down there are held by gentlemen
from that quarter, and the density of
the Corporation Commission is to be
Illuminated by turning on it a new
political light in the shape of the great
Ex- Rhea of the Great Southwest. Ii
one ever seeks Democratic genius be
should by all means search for him
there, for there are many out there the
latchet of whose shoes those who reside
in other quarters are not worthy t(
unlOose.
