A MINE HORROR. Twenty-three Men Killed by an Ex plosion of Firedamp. Fifty Men Were In ll«e Braznel Slialt, Near Hrownoivllle, Pa., When tlie Itloanter Occurred—Workmen « latin that .Ulnlng Lau» Were lllaregarded. Brownsville, Pa., Dec. 25. —The ex plosion of firedamp at the Stockdale Coal Co.'s Braznel shaft on Saturday is the worst since the Hill mine disaster at Dunbar. The explosion was terrific and was heard plainly at Brownsville, four miles distant. The main shaft was totally wrecked. Pittsburg, Dee. 25. —A special to the Post from Brownsville says: The hor ror of the Braznel mine grows in in tensity with every hour. There were fifty men in the mine when the explo sion occurred. On Sunday the first bodies of t.he victims were brought out of the mine and never in the history of mine dis asters were human beings so horribly mutilated. It was nearly 11 o'clock before the first five bodies were taken out, 28 hours afier the explosion. From statements obtained yesterday it seems clear that the presence of gas in quantities in the mine was perfectly well known and that naked lights were used for several days before the explosion. According to credible au thority, not a single safety lamp was used in the mine by the working crews since last Tuesday morning, four days before the explosion. William Pastorious, a driver in the mine, tells a sensational story. Pas torious, who has lived in Brownsville for many years and is regarded as a man of intelligence, says that Pit Boss .Tones on last Tuesday morning issued a general order that all safety lamps might be dispensed with and in their stead the miners were permitted to use naked lamps. Pastorious also states that the lamps were unlocked, con trary to regulation. "The miners always prefer to use naked lights," said Pastorious, "when ever possible, as they give better light and are more easily handled. I have been working here a couple of months and used a safety lamp until last Tuesday morning. At that time mine safeties were in use by drivers and others who were constantly moving about the mine and therefore exposed to greater risk than a digger in a room. Contrary to the mining regula tions the safety lamps in use were in many cases unlocked. The safeties were provided by the company, as usual, and they should be locked so that it is impossible for a miner to open them white at work. My lamp was unlocked and I frequently opened and closed it. On Tuesday the pit boss issued an order that the men could use open lamps and they of course dis carded the safeties, which made a poorer light. About 100 yards from the bottom of the main shaft there was a fall which had been boarded up and in which the gas stood against the roof. I think it was this gas which exploded." Brownsville, Pa., Dec. 20. —Work at the Braznel mine is progressing very slowly. The country roads from Brownsville to the mine are almost impassable and there is no telegraph or telephone connections with Braznel, so all news from the mine has to be brought overland. The fact that last Saturday was pay day at the mine and that there were no empty wagons to load, accounts for many not going into the mine that morning. Had the accident occurred any other day there would have been more than 100 men in the mine. That naked lights and unlocked safety lamps were used in a dangerous mine was officially confirmed Monday by Pitt Boss Thomas .lones, who made a statement which forms the most sensational chapter on the manage ment of the mine which has yet devel oped. Mr. Jones was asked if it was true that on last Tuesday he issued a general order that the miners could dispense with safety lamps. "Yes sir," was the reply. "Why did you issue the order?" "I considered that the mine was safe, as a 'break through'had been fixed up." "Safely lamps were used before Tues day'."" "Yes." "Is it true that some safety lamps in use in the mine were not locked?" "Yes, it is true that some were not locked, because I thought the men who used them were competent to carry them unlocked." "Was that not contrary to regula tions?" "Oh, there may be a regulation, but men sometimes carry unlocked lamps where it is known that they are expe rienced miners." Brownsville, Pa., Wee. 27.—Search for the dead was kept up at the Braz nel mine yesterday, 'resulting in the finding of eight more bodies, making 23 victims of the explosion. IHMaMroiiK Flood*. Seattle. Wash., Dec. 28.—One of the most disastrous floods in the history ol the state is raging along the Nooksak river in Whatcom county. It is esti mated thTit at least §30,000 worth ol damage has been done to the farms and buildings in the flooded district, and still the watersshowno indication of subsiding. Five or seven bridges over the river have been swept away, four of them being iron. Fell From a I Bridge. Knoxville, Tenn., Dec. 25.—Two men were knocked from a railroad bridge 70 feet high at Loudon, Tern., yester day under peculiar circumstances. Sair Eldridge, one of the men, will die. The other will probably recover. John Weare in a drunken condition at tempted to ride across the high bridge and had forced his horse along about 40 feet before it fell between the cross ties. An oncoming train was flagged just in time to prevetit horse and rider being killed. In attempting tc get the horse off the bridge Sam Eld ridge and William Boggus were knocked off the structure. ASK GfiIGGS TO ACT. Freight Shipper* Hrqiiml the Attor ney tiini rul to Prevent Itallronda from liicrea«lng Kate*. Washington, Dec. 29. —Yesterday the inter-state commerce commission, in compliance with the request of the freight shippers an<i representatives of the commercial interests, trans mitted to Atterney General (iriggs a transcript of the evidence taken at the hearing last week respecting the new classification of freight made by the official classification committee. The proposed classification is to he made effective on January 1 by all railroads using the official classification. These include more than 00 lines east of the Mississippi and north of the Ohio and Potomac rivers. The petition of the shippers was that the commission should transmit the evidence taken before it to the attorney general, with a recommendation that he institute legal proceedings, by injunction or otherwise, to restrain the railroads from putting the new classification into effect. To the request of the shippers the commission in part com plies. The evidence and arguments are transmitted to the attorney gen eral, bu', without recommendation. The letter of transmittal is long, the committee desiring to place the case fully before the attorney general. After reviewing the proceedings which led up to the hearing, tlio letter reads: "In the course of this hearing the commission took the testimony ofC. E. Gill, chairman of the official classifica tion committee; Nathan Guilford, traffic manager of the New York Cen tral »<: Hudson Kiver Railroad Co., and Frank Harriott, a member of the official classification committee, who is also the general freight traffic man ager of the Erie railroad. At the con elusion of the testimony given by these witnesses, an application was made by many of the shippers present that such testimony be transmitted to the attorney general of the United States, the claim being made by them that the evidence shows a violation of the Sherman anti-trust law. "While it is not the province of this commission to determine whether the testimony above referred to shows a violation of the anti-trust law, and no opinion is expressed upon that point, there are certain features of the case to which we deem it proper to call your attention. "With some unimportant exceptions the general fact appears to be that the class rates at present in force and which will presumably be applied to the new classification are now the same as or higher than they were in 188" when the act to regulate com merce was passed. "The protesting shippers assert that the increases in rates, to the extent affected by these changes in classifica tion, are without justification, and will result in excessive charges upon most if not all of the articles in question. They also allege that hardship and in justice will further result from the changes which will be made in the relation of rates, and especially from the increases in the difference between carload and less than carload charges. If their contention in these respects is well founded, as to which we express 110 opinion, a wrong is about to be ac complished which the commission is powerless to prevent and for which the act to regulate commerce affords no adequate redress. The facts above set forth are submitted for your con sideration." Attorney General Griggs, who is ill, has given no intimation yet as to what action, if any, he may take in the premises. He will have to review the testimony before he can reach an intelligent conclusion. In any event it will be several days before the mat ter can be determined. AN ORIENTAL SCOURGE. Henlth Authorities In Ca llfornla are Trying to Prevent the Introduction of Itiilionlc Plague. San Francisco, Dec. 29.—The news of the breaking out of the plague in Honolulu, brought hen; by the trans port Centennial, has created some alarm among the state and city health officials and every precaution is being taken to prevent a possible admission of the disease into this city. The transports Centennial and Newport, which arrived Wednesday night, and the Tartar, which arrived from Manila yesterday, are now at the quarantine station undergoing fumigation and will be detained at Angel island for some time. The steamer Gaelic is due here to-day from the Orient via Hono lulu and will be sent to quarantine aud held there until all possible dan ger is past. News from the Orient is to the effect thrt the disease is prevalent in China and Japan to an unusual extent and that the officers at Manila have taken precautions to prevent the plague from getting a foothold there. News from Bombay is to the effect that the plague is rampant in India. War Spirit IK ICampant. Minneapolis, Minn., Dec. 29.—Willis (>. Cannon, a lawyar of Montreal, who ia here, was asked yesterday what the true condition of Canadian sentiment is in connection with the African war. He replied that it was truly repre sented in the newspapers of Canada, the only difference being that news-, papers were to express the in tensity of the war spirit that pervades all classes of Canadian subjects. Itoivle to Have a Hotly guard. Chicago, Dee. 29.—The Tribune says: "Dr." John Alexander I)owie, "divine' : healer, will ask no further police pro tection from the city. He is organ izing a military company of stalwart disciples of his faith, who will carry firearms, wear uniforms and be paid as the professional bodyguard of Zion.

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, JANUARY 4, 1900. AT REST IN ARLINGTON. IfemaiiiH of tlic Victim* of Hie .Tlalnc l>l*a*ter are llnried In a National Cemetery* Washington, Dec. 29. Upon the windy heights of Arlington cemetery the Maine dead, brought from Havana by the battleship Texas, yesterday were laid away to their final resting places with simple religious services and the impressive honors of war, in the presence of the president, members of his cabinet, officers of the army and navy and other representatives of the government. A cabinet officer survey ing the flag-draped coffins before the ceremonies began said; "The lives of those men cost Spain her colonies." The caskets interred yesterday ranged row on row. Over each was spread an American ensign upon which lay a wreath of smilax leaves. Around the enclosure, shoulder to shoulder, the yellow of their coat linings form ing a band of color, were drawn up the cavalry of Fort Myer; to the right was a battalion of marines from the navy yard; to the left a detachment of jackies from the Texas; in the flag draped stand in the rear, the president and his cabinet. Admiral Dewey, Maj. Gen. Miles and a distinguished group of officers of the army and navy in their showy dress uniforms; while all around pressed tlie throng of people who had braved the snow and biting cold to pay their last tribute to the dead. There was a tender appropriateness in the fact that Capt. Sigsbee, who was in command of the Maine when she was blown up, had charge of the cere monies in honor of his men and that Father Chid wick, who was chaplain of the Maine, was there to perform the last rites. Three others who lived through that awful night in Havana harbor were at the side of the graves of their comrades, Lieut. Commander Wainright, who was executive officer of the Maine and who sunk the Pluton and the Furor at Santiago; Lieut. F. C. Bowers, who was assistant engineer of the Maine, and Jeremiah Shea, a fire man on the Maine, who was blown out of the stokehole of the ship through the debris, escaping uninjured most miraculously. Slowly, solemnly, the Marine band broke the deep hush, pealing forth the sad, sweet strains of the diger "Safe in the Arms of Jesus," and then Chap lain Clark, of the naval academy at Annapolis, came forward and took his place under a canvas-covered shelter in the open space in front of the dead. The I'rotestaut services were held first and were very simple. Chaplain Clark read the burial service of the Episcopal church and then gave way to Father Chidwick. who was assisted by Revs. Holland and Brown and two acolytes. With head bared to the win try blast the Maine's chaplain read a memorial service according to the rites of the Catholic church, blessed the ground, repeated the Lord's Prayer and concluded with a fervent appeal for the repose of the souls of the departed. A detachment of ma rines then marched to the right of the graves and fired three volleys over the dead, and in the deep stillness that fol lowed the crash the clear notes of a bugle rang out the soldiers and sail ors' last good night. A BIG INSURANCE DEAL. A Chicago Company Alimirb* a Itlval Concern Hating 'iß,ooo I'olic) Hold er*. Galesburg, 111., Dec. 29.—8y a vote of 17,097 to 7i) the Covenant Mutual Life association, of this city, yester day decided to amalgamate with the Northwestern Life Assurance Co., of Chicago. This is the largest insurance transfer on record, as the 28,000 mem bers of the Covenant Mutual Life as sociation, whose policies aggregate §45,000,000, will go over to the North western Co. in a body. There was much opposition among some members of the Covenant asso ciation to the transfer and for a time it looked as though the deal would not be carried through, but a speech made by Judge Fawcett, of Omaha, carried the day for the amalgamation and once the break was made in the ranks of the objectors they came over very fast, and at the close there was prac tically no opposition. The thing is likely to get into the courts, however, as some of the minority are deter mined to stop the transfer if it be pos sible. An attempt was made to in validate the proxies held by the officers of the Covenant association, but it failed. Hostilities Kcnetvcd. Kingston. Jamaica, Dec. 29.—Colom bian advices say the endeavors to effect a compromise between the gov ernment and the iusurgents have failed, resulting in a renewal of hostil ities. On the Pacific side both parties are marking time, while on the At lantic side severe lighting has occurred, The government troops, it appears, broke the truce and attacked the in surgents near Baranquilla, who re treated after a stubborn battle. The govern taent forces subsequently fell into a trap and suffered severe losses. Price of Thread Advance*. New York, Dec. 29.—'It was an nounced at the office of the Clark Thread Co. in Newark, N. J., yester day that the concern had made an ad vance on the price of cotton thread to tiie extent of 15 cents a dozen spools. The increased price of cotton and the increase in wages in the New England mills is given as the cause of the in crease in price. Ford'M will l-'tled lor Probate. Cambridge. Mass..

Chlnrni' l>ln<ler« arc *>iiK|»ecte«l of Tlirowliig a llomli Into a Mcili<><ll«t AtMlon. Victoria, B. C., Dec. 28. —During ■service Tuesday in the Methodist Mis sion church in Chinatown an explosion occurred and CO or 70 Chinese converts and white people rushed for the street with the building tumbling about their heads. All escaped serious in jury. It was found that a bomb had been exploded by a slow fuse under neath the church, and the police are on the track of Chinese suspects. The explosion is supposed to be the work of Chinese highbinders who hoped to kill seven mission women and the preacher, Rev. Gardner, who married a Chinese woman and learned many secrets of the highbinders through his wife's relatives. Twelve months ago he disclosed a plot by which several Chinese were to be murdered and the highbinders then sent him notice that he was marked for death. The seven Methodist wo men were instrumental in having the Chinese girl slaves of prominent Chinese taken from their masters and placed in the Methodist home, where they were taught English and Chris tianity. Eighteen of the rescued girls were in the church at the time of the explosion. A CORKSCREW BOAT. ■Iroolil)!! 'flan 4'lhliiim Grinl Tiling* lor III* Inventloii. New York, Dec. 29.—James (iresham, of Brooklyn, has found capital to de monstrate the commercial value of his corkscrew boat for which is anticipated a speed of 50 miles an hour. A syndi cate of New York capitalists has agreed to furnish 850,000 to build a small boat on the corkscrew plan, with the further understanding that if it demonstrates its ability on a commer cial scale to approximate the speed which the models have reached, the syndicate will furnish sutlicient capital to build a small boat. The inventor promises that his craft will cross the Atlantic in less than three days. The vessel, the construction of which is being arranged for at the Newport News shipyard, is not intended for pas senger service, but only for the con veyance of mail and fast freight and for use at life saving stations. It is so constructed that it can penetrate the surf or the waves of the roughest weather. The boat is cylindrical in Shape, with a serpentine flange like a corkscrew extending from bow to stern, and the outer shell revolves through the water, while the inner compartment maintains its equipoise. ANOTHER VICTORY. American* Completely lloute tlic In- NurgentN In a llattlc. Manila, Dec. 28.—C01. Lockett, with 8. force of 2,500, including artillery, at tacked Wednesday morning a strong force of insurgents intrenched in the mountains near Montalban. about five miles northeast of San Mateo. The enemy was completely routed, the Americans pursuing them through the hills amid which they fled in every di rection. Four Americans were wound ed. The Filipino loss was large, re sulting from a heavy infantry and ar tillery lire for three hours into the trenches. A dozen lines of insnrgent trenches covered the steep trail through the hills and likewise the valley below, along which the Americans passed.

The rest of the command operated from remote points in an endeavor to carry out Col. Lockett's plan of throwing his lines around the enemy and thus cutting off retreat. The nature of the mountain ous country made it impracticable to execute this movement successfully. TEST OF ARMOR PLATE. I'art of tbr Itel'eiiMlve Omtil of a llaf kluii Itattle»lil|» stand* a Severe Trial. Washington, Dec. 29. —In the pres ence of officials of the Russian govern ment, several United States naval offi cers and representatives of the Carne gie Steel Co. an eight-inch Krupp plate, a part of a lot of armor intended for the Russian battleship Retvisan, now being built at the Cramp ship yard, was tested yesterday at the In dian Head proving ground. The plate was 190 inches long. 98 inches wide, eight inches thick and curved. The gun used in making the test was an eight-inch rifle, the projectiles being armor piercing shells 250 pounds each in weight. The striking velocity was feet per second. Four shots were fired at the corners of a 28-inch square drawn in the center of the plate. Tne striking velocity was 1,837 feet per second for the first shot, 1,791 for the second, 1,815 for the third and 1,834 for the fourth. The penetration at tained by the shells ranged from 1 U to inches. The plate did not crack under the test and was very little in jured. Miot by u Collector.

Washington, Dec. 28.—Attention to the Bering Sea controversy between the United States and Great Britain has been renewed by the report of Mr. John M. Morton, the United States agent on the Seal islands, who has come onto submit his report and confer with the authorities. The es sential point of the report is that the seal herds have diminished 20 per cent, within the last year. When the Ber ing sea negotiations were on last year •the main contention of the American authorities was that the herds were being so diminished by poaching that the animal would soon become extinct.
