London, March 13. A terrible
colliery explosion occurred In the Unity

o'clock yesterday afternoon. The mouth
of the pit was blocked until 6 o'clock,

Destructive Wind and Snow Storm.
Sherman, W. T., March 13. At mid
night on the 7th Inst., a storm of snow
and wind set in continuing until the
10 Inst., covering the entire country
from Green river, Wyoming, to North
Platte, Nebraska, a distance of 550 miles.
A number of men and cattle were found
dead, one, ranchman losing 10,000 sheep.
The railrond tracks have been cleared
and the blockaded trains released.
Mulcting a Church A Curious Lawsuit.
At Bryan, O., Joseph Lichty brought
suit against John Holdeman and others
. for $10,000, for enticing his wife to ab
stain from marital relations to him. All
the parties were members of the 'Church
of God,' a branch of the MennoniteB.
In May, 1875, the society which John
Lichty and his wife were members, for
divers reasons not shown in court, ex
communicated him and placed him un
der the ban termed "avoidance." This
means that the remaining members shall
shun the erring or excommunicated
brother until he repent and is. again re
ceived into the church. It makes it the
duty of the wife, she being a member,
not to eat at the same table with her
husband, nor talk with him except
when of absolute necessity, nor to hold
other relations.
She could, however, keep house for
him and his family, which consisted of
four children. This Mrs. Lichty did for
a year, he, in the meantime, patiently
and kindly trying to induce her to act
the wifely part with him. But on dif
ferent occasions, when he had nearly
succeeded in winning her back to him,
the teachers would step in and warn her
that she could not take such a step with
out the consent of the church, and that
If she did her soul would be forever lost.
He then let his farm and moved away,
thinking his wife would go with him ;
but influence was brought to bear upon
her, and she would not leave the
society.
Lichty then sued the church members
for damages. They made their own de
fence in court, not believing In lawyers,
and they read in parts from Numbers of
Revelation. Simon Mennlll, of Hol
land, who lived in the sixteenth cen
tury, was their commentator, and, un
der the plea of religious tolerance, guar
anteed by the Constitution, claimed a
verdict in their favor. The testimony be
ing all in, and the arguments having
been made, the case went to the jury,
who soon brought In a verdict giving
$2,500 damages to plaintiff. Ex.
Worrying a Parson.
The New York Mrorld, in speaking of
the difficulty existing In the Baptist
Church at Hamilton Square,N. J., says :
" A case somewhat similar to this- took
place seven years ago In the Hardscrab-
ble Methodist Church In Hunterdon
county, where George Rounsavlllo, be
coming aggrieved at the pastor adopted a
unique way of ' getting even.' lie caused
to be made for himself a suit of calico
trousers and roundabouts, with a hat of
the dimensions of an umbrella, and a
crimson band In proportion. The trou
sers were gorgeous in their way, being
covered with brilliant Images of sun
flowers and roses, the largest two of
which were displayed upon the most
conspicuous parts of the garments. The
wearer entered the church edifice, and
was as solemn as an owl through the
services, but the congregation were not
in the same mood. Rounsavllle was in
dicted and taken before tho Flcmlngton
Court, where It was decided that he had
not disturbed the worship, and had the
right to dress as he pleased."
Foreign News.
London, March 13. The Timet of
this morning, In its financial article,
alluding to tho failure of Veruer Broth
ers, the stock brokers, which was an
n ou n ced yesterday ,say s : " Vern er B roth
era were short about $500,000 in stocks."
The same article says : " Nothing
could speak more eloquently to the dead
ening effect of the apprehensions which
will fill Europe for many months than
the cheapness of money In the conti
nental markets. This chenpness renders
the position of the Bank of England
difficult.
The rooms in course of erection at
Woolwich dockyard, covering an acre
of ground, suddenly collapsed to-day
while the laborers were at work. Hun
derds of workmen were burled in the
debris. All were quickly rescued, but
many of them were seriously injured.
No deaths have yet occurred, though
several cannot survive.
A special dispatch from Berlin to the
Morning Post says that Prince Bismarck
will not go to his La u on burg estate for
the benefit of his health, as was stated
in a Berlin special in the Standard, and
that the German government will not
issue Invitations to the congress until
all difficulties about the subjects to be
considered are removed.
" These difficulties," says thedlspatch,
" appear more serious than was antici
pated. The general prospect in well in
formed circles Is far from encouraging.
Germany will claim the presidency of
the congress for its representative by
prescriptive right, whether Prince Bis
marck is able to attend or not."
London despatches says that trust
worthy private advices from India
state that the Mohammedans are greatly
excited in consequence of the overthrow
of Turkey.
Serious trouble Is even apprehended
unlesB the government takes some antl
Russlau action shortly. It is believed
that 200,000 Moslem volunteers could be
raised to serve against Russia without
difficulty.
A Berlin dispatch to the Times says :
"Even governmental newspapers, such
as the Font, National Zeltung and others
heretofore favorable to Russia, deem it
necessary, since the terms of peace are
known, to take precautions for the pro
tection of European interests. The Post
says measures must be taken to prevent
the Dardanelles and Bulgaria from be
coming Russian property."

fessed to be dreadfully afraid of cholera,
took to the woods to avoid it, and there
was found asleep. Being asked wby he
went to the woods, he said : "To pray."

day near Thirteenth street and Lehigh

fastened to the woman's neck and the tree
then allowed to go up again. Tho woman
was tossed in the air and landed on the op
posite side of the tree, which was propped
up with a fence rail, and then left hanging.
This occurred Wednesday night last. The
body was not cut down until the following

tW A romantic- story Is told of Martin
Mix of North flold and Ellen Manoughof

Wonderful I
The need of healthful blood becomes ap
parent by oold extrcmitios ; by frequeut
flushes of beat ; by ulcers and eruptions ;
by general lassitude and a revolution from
former pleasures. Scenes which once were
bright grow tame and insipid, because the
life current is slow, sluggish, and unbealth
ly. Wby ? The virile powers have been
overtaxed and refuse to work properly. In
all such cases, the Peruvian Syrup, which
has become such a favorite, should be used.
It inspires hope aud health ; restores the
vital blood to Its original vigor and removes
the resulting evil efTncts. It Infuses beat
and warmth to the system, and never falls
to do what It promised. Like tho galvanic
