SITUATION AT PLYMOUTH.
The Continual Fallot Rock Interferes
with the Work of Rescuing
the Buried Miners.
Wllkes-Barbk, Fab. IB, There are
00 new facts reardiug the terrible ic -
eldent el the Qaylord mine In Ply
month einea venter lay. The rescuing
party are vlgoroosly pushing the work
of trviv.g to reach the thirteen en
tombed men, and everythmg possible
is being done to unearth them. The
Situation, as it is, is exciting, as the
men at work ar greatly hiudred In
their progress through tho continued
fall of rock an I c il. Up to this even
ing vry little of t!i debris ha, been
handled, though reports ur circulated
that they have penetrated through 400
feet of solid coal, which is not true.
A plan was adopted tonight by the
mine officials to enter th No 4 work
ings of th Delaware an 1 Hudson Coal
company adjoining, If they can reach
the eud of the gangway in '.this mi-ie
wlier a huge dcor connects with the
Gaylord workings, it is probable that
the rescuing party may proceed to a
point within thirty feet of where the
men are supposed to be, an I should the
sir course not be choke i up with debris
from previous falU. they may find the
men within the neXl two days.
To say the Isast the work of rscii"
party is attended with the utmost din
ger. The G lylord mine has been
squeezing on more than one occasion
today and a number of falls have again
occured. The situation as far as can
be ascertained from miners wbo know
tbss workings, is anything but en
couraging. Another rescuing pnrtv consisting of
100 men was formd tonight. They at
once went to work on what is known
as the old mountain opening and it is
firmly believed that these men in this
particular plac j will make better head
way through the fall than th men
working on the lower end.
Anotner fal; toon place tonight and
six of the rescuing party barely escaped
being killed. Superintendent Picton
of the mine, whose son is one of the
entombed men, became prostrated to
lay, an 1 his life is said to be in danger
The new rescuing party is reported
to be making big headway, but there
are no hopes of finding the men alive.
The Gaylord mine is mined and can
never be operated in the future.

DEATH OF AN ANARCHIST.
Martlet Bourdin Horribly Mang-lad by
i v-. Carried In His Pocket
London, Feb. 18 -A loud explosion
was heard just after nightfall by the
keepers of Greenwich park, about six
miles from London bridg". A hasty
search led to the discovery of a man
mutilated and groaning with pain on
the hilltop near the observatory. His
legs were shattered I ne arm had
been blown from his body and he had
neen almost completely disemboweled
As soon as he became conscious of
tho keepers' presenee he begged
them to help him or kill him He be
came instnsible within five minutes
and ten minutes after being csrried to
the Seaman's hospital he died English
snd French papers found in the man's
pockets showed that he wa Martial
Boordin, a foreign anarchist. A pe
culiar powder in a package which lie
had carried with him was not reoog
nized by the police and it has boon sent
to government experts for anlvsis.
A hurried investigation of llmrdin's
life in London goes to show That he
was a member of a dangsroni anarch
ist conspiracy, whose In. I details can
bs known only after careful police
work. He and his colleagneH fre
quented th notorious Autonomic club
in Grafton street, Tottenham Court
road, and there, it is supp ise I,
they hatched the plot which Bonrdin
was to help execute by his contemplated
act In Greenwich. DotootiVel have
ben watching thA club bpUII aon-
tantly as well as a nearby house in
Windmill street, where many of the
anarchist rfngees have lodged. The
occupants of this house have been re
oently in constant communication witli
anarchists on the continent.
Th lodgers in the Windmill street
lions apnarrfntly discovered a few days
ago that they were watched, anil sev
eral of them vanished on the morning
after the si plosion under th hotel
Terminus,
This afternoon n detective saw
Bonrdlfl and anothr lodger enter
the house together nnd come out
half an hour later. The ii'.ideutilled
lodger hurried oft aloae, and liourdin
took a train for Greenwich. He oar
risd with him undoubtedly the explo
sives which cansed his death. Hour
din's exact intention in making his
trip to Greenwich has not biou ascer
tallied.
The papers in his pockets give no cine
tn It, although th tirst Inference was
that lis int'ndd to blow up the ob
soivntory, but was prevented from do
ing so l.y the premature explosion.
II ittrdln apparently was about 'JJ years

and he had thlrtseu pounds sterling in

Boston, Mass., Feb, 18 -The special
agents of the treasury department for

they have unearthed a gigantic lohems

to defraud the United Stales govern

Officials have beau at work securing

THE SAUCY INSURGENTS.
They Fire Upon an American Launch
at Rio Janeiro Yellow Jack
Appears on the Vessel.
RlO Jankiko, Feb. 15 On Tuosdny
tiigut last a launch belonging to the
American cruser Newark took ashore
from that vessel several sailors wbo
had been attacked by yellow ; fever.
The men were taken to the yellow fever
hospital and the launch returned to
the Newark. On her way back her
course took her close to the anchorage
of the merchant fleet. Lying among
the merchantmen was the insurgent
steamer Mart. The latter fired three
shots at the launch, but all three were
wild, doing no damage.
The representative of the United
Press saw the captain ol the Marte yes
terday ami question el hiui as to why
he bred on the American boats. The
captain declared ,lhat be.did not know
that tho launch was American. This
statement, however, is not worthy of
belief, a- the launches belonging to the
American warships are easily dis
tinguished from those belonging to the
other warships and from other boats
that ply about the harbor.
After landing her ItcR sailors, the
Newark, under orders of lisar Admiral
Pentium, sailed for Montevideo where
she will b disinfected. It is the opin
ion of those who know what sort of a
plac this bay is during tho yellow
fever season that the Beet of warships
ought to anchor off ( 'opacabanca, out
side the harbor.
