HUNDRED MY BE DEAD
Fearful Explosion in a Mine at
Ponty-Pridd.
MANY UNFOATUNATES ENTOMBED.
Over SOO Miner fttlll In the Working.
With but I.lttl If Any Chance of firing
Besetted Alive The Calamity Caused by
fiperk. From an Knglne ll.srulng Par
ties Hard at Work.
LnNOOit, April 12. A frightful mining
accident occurred yesterday at Pontypridd,
Wales. A apiirk from an engine Ignited,
the gas In tlie coal pit near Ponty-Pridd'
and ratified the gu to explode. A large
numlier of miners wore nt work at the time
Mid the explosion caused terrible havoc.
The exact nnmberof Uvea loat la not known,
but It 1 rumored that twenty peraona were
tilled and many others were mora or Iran
ar rlonsly Injured.
Later account from Ponty-Pridd show
the altnat.lon to be mora appalling than At'
Brat attppoaod. Over 800 mlnera are en-'
tombed In the mine.
The engine hnuae la destroyed and there
ia the grentost fear that hundreds may
have perished. The rescuers who went'
down were driven back without ltelng able
to bring up more than five of the dead
and the fate of the other miner la In doubt.
The roost agonising oene are witnessed,
and throng of men, women and children,
relative of thoae below are crowding about
the mouth of the coal pit.
Mtill later advloo from Ponty-Pridd do
not lighten the calamity, and ths worst
fae la feared for hundred of mlnara. The
pit I worked In section, one enm being
above another. The (Ire reuniting from the
exploelon broke out In the eastern acction.
From thl aection seventy men succeeded In
reaching the surface through the main dip
working, led by a miner who knew the
road.
They had a terrible struggle to get out,
forcing their way through lira and amoke.
Many of them were score lied and ail were
terribly exhausted when they emerged to
safety. They brought no good new a to
those who were left behind, but on the con
trary exprettaed their dread that all those In
the mine had perished.
Rome of the Bodies lt.oor.rrd.
London, April 13. At an early hour
this morning It waa impossible to obtain
the full details of the accident in the Ponty
Pridd coal mine. I be Unit alarm waa
given at 2.80 yesterday afternoon. The
sparks from an engine In a four-foot seam
are supposed to have Ignited a pile of cot
ton waste. The flames spread to the wood
work and finally Ignited the Inflatnablegas
tn the seam. Flames and amoks gave to
tht 200 men at Work In the seam the first
warning of approaching danger. All ran
toward the landing. Many were overtaken
by the fire and smoke, full, and were left to
their fate by their comrades In advance of
them. Comparatively few of the men who
wore In the seam at the time of the ex
plosion reached the landing.
At the entrance of the shaft a rescuing
party waa formed by the pit surveyor. The
party got aa far aa the landing at the seam
where the lira started, but waa drlvea
back almost immediately by the dense'
moke iastilng from the seam. The sur
veyor took his men back to the surface'
Alter a half hour's rest they went down,
again and forced their way tea yarns into
ths working. They found four dead bodies,
which they brought back with them. At
tempt to go further Into the workings
weie in vain, aa the woodwork waa burn
ing and lurge moaaes of ruins were falling
incessantly from the roof.
One of the rescuing party who ventured
too far was killed. Th men who saved
themselves Immediately after the Are broke
ont were too much confused and frightened
to observe the powltion of their fellow work
men. They are unable to give any clear
account of the distribution of the miners
and the work of rescue must therefore pro
ceed under all the difficulties of uncertainty
There are numerous volunteers to further
ensh the work of rescue a soon as it be
come possible. At present the flames and
smoke would render any such undertaking
vtln. if not fatal to the party making the
descent. There Is little doubt, moreover,
the most, if not all. of the men left below
have been suffocated to death.
Could Mot K.ach the Bodies.
London, April 12. Hand grenades, bar
rels of water and pipes attached to fire en'
(tines on the surface are being used to ex
tlnmiinh the names in the mine at Ponty
Prldd. In two sections of the mine the lira
was put out. The extinction of the flames
has been followed in each case, however, by
the accumulation of gas. and it is feared
that exnlosions mav follow shortly. An
other atteniDt to enter the seam in which
the fire started ho proved result less. Al
though the rescue party saw six dead bodies
thev were nrevented by amoke and heat
from reaching them.

What Our Mule Law-mMicr. Ar Do In
at the npltul ( My,
HAnnisnt r.o, April 11 The fraternal
societies Imve not b.-nii slow to take ad
vantage of the protection ulTordod them by
the Koyer bill. Ali-t-ady the Sexennial
league luis applied to the state department
for corporation right and other anient are
expected to follow. In addition, Peter
Boyd, the Sexennial licague counsel, ha
secured a dismissal of the nuo warranto
proceeding Instituted by the attorney gen
eral some mouths ago at the instance of
certain parties who were desirous of throw
ing the league Into the hnn Is of a receiver.
Thl action removes a drag from this order
and its officers and member look for an
ra of renewed prosperity to date from the
granting of corporation powers.
The house, after an extended debate
which seemed to have no Influence on the
vote, ha finally disposed of th local op
tion bill by killing It, yeas 07, nays 102.
This bill ha been liefnre the legislature
since the beginning of thesesslou, end has,
by reason of It Importance, attracted
general attention, hundred of petition
urging Its passage having lieen received
from all parts of tho state. Prnvlou to It
defeat the way hod been opened for general
amendment nt the morning session, and
the house had lotaof fun with the hill, put
ting lu a lot of nlsturd amendment, all ot
which were afterward expunged.
In measure was drawn by ex-Chief
Justice Agucw and that distinguished Jur
ist has nuule special effort to secure Its pass
age. Ita deleut, then-fore, will bo a great
disappointment to him ns well as to many
others who have worked lu Its behalf. The
vote against the bill was so decisive that It
I not likely thut an effort will lie made to
secure a reconsideration.
The net establishing boards ot arbitra
tion to settle all questions of wage and
other matter of viiriunce betweeu capital
and labor passed the house finally with only
eight votes agnlnst It. This measure Is
similar to the Wallace act passed In 1883.
f jtch side to a dispute may apply to court
for permission to appoint three arbitrators,
but If one aide foils to name Its arbitrator
they are to be named by the court. This Is
where the bill differs from the Wallace bill
which only U-came operative when both
side applied for arbitrators.
I he bill is educational In character, the
duties of the arbitrator ending when, they
have reported their finding to th court.
1 he bill prohibiting railroad companies
from employing railroad telegraph opera
tors uader the age of twenty years to handle
train orders also passed finally. This bill
I backed by the Order of Railway Tele
graphers, and ia designed to secure an in
crease in the amount of wage at present
paid to railroad telegraphers.
Nothing has yet been done by th house
ways and means committee with reference
to the seuate resolution providing for final
adjonrnment of th legislature on May 11.
Such slow progress 1 being made, how
ever, that June 1 is now generally regard
ed aa the date that will finally be fixed
upon.
Hlgby'e Expense Account.
Harrisbcru, April 12. The democrat
held a caucus yesterday afternoon to de
cide what course they will take with re
gard to the expense bill put In by Mr. Hig-
by, of Crawford, in connection with nu
contest of Mr. Andrews' seat. .The amount
of the bill, over $9,800, Is generally regard-
ed as excessive and the democrat are In
clined to repudiate it. The subject was re
ferred to the executive committee, Messrs.
Skinner, Fow, Wherry, Raker and Bern-
hard for report. Mr. Andrews has an
nounced that he will not put In any bill.
NOW THE Al DITonS WILL II K PAID
Judge Raed.r Hands Down an Important
Decision.
Eahtox, April 11. An Important opinion
was filed yestenlay by Judge Reeder In
the case of Edward S. Packe et. al., bor
ough auditors ot South Bethlehem vs. the
the county of Northampton.
The case grew out of the refusal of the
county commissioners to pay a bill of $51
presented by the auditors of South Bethle
hem for work in preparing official ballots
used at the recent election. Judge Boeder
decided that the word "printing" in the act
of assembly covered that part of the work
performed by auditors In preparing copy
for the printer and the commissioner
thought otherwise. Ths auditors will now
receive pay for as many day's work as they
performed, and not for a single day a the
commissioners claimed they were only en
titled.

Wamiivcitos. April 12. The rtoach cns
enme jiivtiiinently to the front yesterday in
the txi i.iitive wwion of the ncnnle and was
flu cnii! fur some rather plain tiilk from
hotii hides of thecliHtnljer. The senate only
went Into secret session after a ye and nay
vote in which it was develop! that th
tien.ocrnts hnd enough member present,
ucl'lcl to the republicans to propound an in
tiuiry as to what the other side meant by
refiminu; to permit tbe committee on privl
leire nnd elections to report the resolution
relative to the contest of Mr. Martin's seat
by Mr. Ady, a resolution that bad been
agreed upon in the commitU at the meet
ing Saturday, and further, why they hod
exhibited, what appeared to be bad faith,
in the Roach resolution which republican
contended had been afcrced to by demo
crat on the floor of the senate.
Tills at once precipitated a discussion In
which it was develoiwd that the democrnta
were opposed to taking up the Roach cima
at this tune and wanted to postpone any
further action until the next session of cou
KreHS. It was declaml by democratic lead
ers, aa hnd been stated by them before, that
If the Roach case was to lie gone Into there
were others that should be taken up A
well. The republicans retorted that they
were afraid of no iuvcatlirntlon concerning
any of their members but they insisted thut
some positive action should be taken in thl
particular case.
1 he democrat said tftot tney were win
ing the resolution should lie modified so aa
to instruct the committee to report whether
or not they had the authority to make the
investigation concerning the previous acta
of a senator; but the republicans urjed
that this did not go far enough and Insisted
that the committee should be still further
authorized to go ahead and make the In
vestigation if they found they had such
authority. It waa this counter proportion
thnt the democrats opposed and after a
long discussion of the two view so vehe
mently adhered to by the respective sidea
the question wax laid aside without any
definite action being taken.
The Martin case was given It share ot
the debnte, the republicans contending that
the committee on privileges nnd election
should report the resolution a adopted at
its meeting, and that the work contem
plated under the resolution should be prose
cuted during the recess of the senate. From
the debate thnt ensued representatives as
sert that they draw tbe conclusion that tha
democrats do not intend to do anything In
this case, and will, if possible, refuse to
look Into the question of the legality ot tha
arat now occupied by Mr. Martin.
The nomination of Mr. Eckels to be comp
troller of the currency was favorably re
ported, but confirmation did not follow. It
going over for a day under the rales, there
being an objection to ita preaent considera
tion.
