to, 19,000. The day was unmarked by dis
turbance of any sort. The contest for the
World's fair mayorality was one of ex
treme bitterness. Mr. Harrison, who rep
resents the regular Democracy, secured the
nomination by defeating Washington Hes
ing, editor of the Stunts Zeiting, who bolted
the convention. The Democratic news
papers. excepting only The Times, which
is owned by Mr. Harrison were in favor ot
Mr. Hesing's candidacy, and upon his de
feat by Mr. Harrison, gave their support
to the Republican and Citizens' candidate,
Sumuel W. Allerton, who was nominated
a few days later. Since Mr. Harrison's
nomination, however, twoafternoou papers
have come to his support and waged vigor
ous warfare upon the 4 Allerton combina
tion."
The night closed in Chicago with an ex
citing incident. A huge bonfire was built
under the Allerton banner that has so long
flaunted before Harrison's Times office.
Men got hold of the ropes and tried to pull
the banner into the blaze, which rose 50

feet. There was danger of setting The
Times office on fire, and the police were
unable to get the rope away from the
crowd. At this Carter Harrison appeared
in the crowd, and with uplifted cane pro

feated opponent's banner to safety. Carter
was received with a tremendous ovation
by about 20,000 people.

[APPEAL FOR ARTHUR
j THE CHIEF OF THE BROTHERHOOD
NOT DONE FIGHTING YET.
Vice President Ashley Says the Engineers
Ought to See Their Error Now—Gowpers
Says the Judges Must Be Enlightened.
| The Situation Iu Toledo.
! NEW YORK, April 4.—The decision of
Judge Taft concerning the Lake Shore en
gineers who refused to handle Ann Arbor
freight was variously received in various
quarters. The decision declared that the
whole Brotherhood of Engineers was a
| conspiracy against the law of the country,
and that Chief Arthur, as the head of that
! organization, was responsible.
| When Chief Arthur was asked in Cleve
land what he intended to do in view of the
! fact that the decision of the United States
; district court had been against the men he
| represents, Mr. Arthur smiled and I:
j "It's all right. I don't know what we will
do now. I have not given the matter a
moment's thought. But the engineers will ;
be all right in any event.
"The court does not seem to understand [
what my duties are. 1 have not got such
jurisdiction over the men as the court may
think. I have no authority to order a
strike. The men settle all these matters
by vote and I merely give my consent if I
see lit to do so. In this case I presume the
court is under the impressiou that I had
authority to order a strike."
' "What will be the effect of this decision
in the injunction suit against you?" was
asked.
I "I suppose it will enjoin me from issuing
certain notices to the men."
i "What will you do about it?"
"Can't tell just yet. I will not say any
more about the matter until I see the de
cision in full."
"Will the brotherhood fight the contempt
case further?"
"I cannot tell you anything about it
now."
"The judge has held one of the men for
contempt."
"Yes, so I notice, but the dispatch does
not say what they are going to do with the
man. Just wait until we hear further par
ticulars and we may know more about
what can be done in the matter."
Vice President James N. Ashley of the
Toledo, Ann Arbor and North Michigan
railroad, said in New York:
"The decision does not surmise me in the
least, as under the common law boycotting
is illegal, and the refusal to handle freight
from a road because there is a strike there
is boycotting. Now that this decision has
been given the men know that by following
rule 12 of their bylaws they are disobeying
, the law."
Samuel Gompers, president of the Feder
ation of Labor, said:
1 "The time has passed when by a decision
of a judge workingmen may be made a
1 part of the soil on which they labor or be
' tied to conditions which are irksome to
them. They will continue to demand their
rights until they force judges to entertain
a more enlightened opinion as to their pur
poses."
To Appeal the Canes.
TOLEDO, April 4.—Ask a Lake Shore or
Ann Arbor striker what he thinks of the
decisions, and he will probably reply, "Ob,
I dunuo." These two words just about ex
press the general situation here at the pres
ent time. A great many seem of the opin
ion that the railroads have got the best of
the deal inasmuch as the injunction against
( Arthur has been made perpetual.
Both cases will be appealed at once to
the courts of last resort. The contempt
case will be taken to the supreme court on
the ground that the defendant Lennou was
not properly notified of the proceedings;
t hat he was not subpoenaed accordiug to
law; that he had not seen the order of the
court or understood its import, and that
the court has no jurisdiction In the matter,
I the plaintiffs both being corporations or
ganized under the laws of Michigan and
there being no federal questions involved.
The case against Chief Arthur will be ap
pealed to the circuit court of appeals on the
grounds that no evidence has been pro
duced to show that the defendant was in
any way guilty of conspiracy or that he
invited any of his men to engage in a con
spiracy against the roads in question.

NEW YORK, April 4.—lt was rumored in

LAUREL HILL FLOODED.
A LARGE BODY OF WATER BREAKS
INTO THE COLLIERY.
About Thirty Men Were Caught and
Swept Along Willi tile Kindling Water.
AH Were Saved hut Itiehard Williams,
Thomas Hudson and W. H. Trembetli.
On Monday the announcement was
made that a terrible accident had oc
curred at tlie Laurel Hill colliery, 11 azle
ton, owned and operated by Pardee &
& Co. In a short time, says the Plain
Speaker of Tuesday, a large crowd of
people gathered about the mouth of tlie
slope and the wildest rumors were cir
culated as the number of men who were
entombed with no possible hope for
their escape. Fortunately these rumors
were without foundation, as the only
men who are now entombed are:
Richard Williams, Thomas Hudson and
William Trinibeth. These men were
working in the fifth lift and the pro
bability is that the water broke through
with such force as to bury them under
the debris and coal before they could
realize their perilious position.
Excitement ran high at the top of the
slope as one by one the entombed miners
were brought to the surface on the mine
car and each man was immediately
surrounded by a crowd eager for the
information concerning the condition of
the mines and the probable fate of their
companions. General Manager Frank
Pardee accompanied by James Durkin,
inside foreman, was one of the first men
to descend into the mines, and to his
well directed efforts is due the prompt
rescue of the unfortunate victims.
One of the victims, Godfried Brandes,
reached the surface at 1.15 o'clock p. m.
and was seen by a reporter to whom he
gave the following account of the acci
dent :
"I was loading a car in the lower lift,
when I heard a noise li,ke an explosion
of gas, the report of which almost stunned
me. I told the boys there was something
wrong, but before we could make a move
a second shock occurred and the water
began rushing in. I swam two breasts
and was half way to another, but liadjto
go back to Spencer's place. Water was
raising and rushing all the time. A
father and son swam along side of me
without any clothes on. I was at this
place from 9.30 in the morning until 1
o'clock in the afternoon. Edward Ed
wards was with me and was rescued by
Frank Pardee and James Durkin. I
saw young Conncrs on a piece of timber
known as the collar. He called to me
for a rope to help him, but I did not
have any means of reaching him."
About thirty men were in the flooded
parts and all except the three above
mentioned were rescued after more or
less thrilling experiences.
Tlie entombed miners are well and
popularly known in this section. Rich
ard Williams, familiarly known as
"Dicky" Williams, is a well known
I sportsman and pigeon shooter. He is a
single man about 30 years of age. and
formerly lived at Oakdale. Both Hud
| son and Trimbeth are married men with
families. Hudson and Trimbeth live on
Walnut street, Ilazleton.
Looking; for the Men.
j The work of rescuing the unfortunate
I men is being pushed as rapidly as cir-
I cumstances will permit. The east eang
| way is full almost to the roof with mud,
j slush and debris, carried down by the
I torrent. The real force of the water was
j not realized until Tuesday, when it was
[ discovered that the solid pillars of coal
which supported the roof between the
breasts 1 ad been broken down and
crumbled to pieces.
The fi ends of the entombed men
still hop for the best, and not until
their deac bodies shall have been taken
to the surface will they believe all is
over. The arrival of each car to the
surface is eagerly looked for.
The task of the rescuers is a dangerous
one and the work is progressing slowly.
This is partly due to the presence of
black damp in great quantities and the
foul gases which have come down with
the water from the old workings
of No. 3.
The gangway, too, is so choked that
mule-power cannot be brought into use
and the removal of the deris has to be
done by the workmen.
It may take until tomorrow before the
gangway will be cleared, but some
miners are of the opinion that it will
take much longer. Unless the unfortu
men are found covered in the debris be
fore this is done their fates will not be
positively known before then.
Two Others May Bo Entombed.
A rumor was current at Hazleton on
Tuesday that two others besides the men
named are also imprisoned. These men
are Hungarians who worked as gangway
laborers and have not been seen Rince
the accident occured. Ilenry Hawk
stated that when he was struggling for
his own life lie saw the two Hungarian
laborers behind him. He was positive
that they had not reached the foot of the
slope when he did.
A vigorous search for these men failed
to reveal any traces of them, and the
company's officials deny the loss of the
Hungarians.
Tlie Officials Reticent.
The officials are still very reticent and
refuse to make any statement as to the
cause of the disaster. The maps and
drawings of the openings are locked up,
and no one knows just how near No. 3
workings were to the Laurel Hill. r lhe
five pumps now employed in removing
the water from the mine are running to
their fullest capacity, and have all they
can do to prevent the water from
gaining.
There was no change in the situation
at the colliery this morning. Search for
the men still continues.
