Ivan TUE INSPECTION Dieniturionime A Pittsburg deepatoh gage : A. terrible mine explosion ooeurred at the Illenamoth works of the H. 0. Friok Coke Company At Mammoth M 9 o'clock yesterday moming. The mince are about halt way between Tatrobe and Mount Pleasant. It is mid most of the killed were either English- tspeaking or German ruiners. The shaft is ORSOlit WO feet deep and has a number of galleries. cAtreEn BY A BUM'S USU. A Scottsdale epeoial imps : "The extol°. eion, it is supposed, was due to the ignition of miner's oil lamp. The after.damp which followed the firedamp explosion suf- loosted nearly every workman. .A. few, realizing the sitnetion, fell to the ground, Thereby preventing the gas from •striking them. The men not killed etre in enoli a critics" condition that their deaths are momentarily expected. Thus far 50 bodies have been recovered, all without the sign of life. The fiee whioh broke out after the ezploeion wee loon extin- guished by the inernenee fans. Gen- eral Manager Lyeaoh, of the Frick Coke Corapiiny is helping in the work of mom - *film the bodies. The Mammoth plant embraces 509 ovens, one of the largest plants in the coke region, but it is herd of access. It is situated near the United works, where an explosion recently deetroyed the entire 'shrift. The affair has oast a gloom over the entire •ooke region, and to -night hundreds of miners are flock- ing to the ecene offering istance. The appalling lose of life in the Dunbar disaster is more then overebedowed by that in this Mammoth calamity. Language is too weak to describe the scenes at the mine. Horror is piled on horror. The news spread throughout the entire coke region with great rapioity and everybody was awmarloken. Coffins have already been ordered for a persona. The only man who escaped from the fatal mine was Mine Boss Elston. Among those killed ,sie John Beverage and &motes Boles, formerly of this ,plaoe. Ex -Mine Inepeotor KeighlY, anperintendent of the fatal Shaft, is nearly dietraoted. It is a singular fact that misfortune seems to lame followed him. His experiences in the Hill Farm disaster resulted in his tender- ing hie resignation as mine inspector Blaster Workmen Wile and other promi. neat labor leaders left todoight for Mam- moth to render assistance to the bereaved families. It is estimated that ,60 widows and families are left wholly dependent on charity for sustenance by this disaster. They are almost penniless, as the plant has not been running full for some time and work has been scarce. Every means possible will be resorted to to supply the widowed mothers and their -children with the imeemaries of life. The Frick Company will be liberal and a subscription paper will shortly be circulated. Master Workmen Wise has issued an appeal to the miners and ookere of the region for aid for The families of men killed in the mine. TIPPING TRH Ham, Paris SOS n i4TOW AU the World Follow ? With the new year comes the ttotual beginning of a revelution in [social and pante affairs, seam a Perla tothlegram. Them heve been gamete of reform Mid change in many moist °name, and, we ilaVe had it upon the Mpis at enndry tirctes to do away with several exceedingly beolish and awkward ceremordea in vogue between the refined menthere of what le gracefully admitted to be "moiety." And there hes been no hithit more seuselese and with less remota than that of a gentleman removing his hat from his head upon every ineeting with a female acquaintance. Heaven only knows where such e stupid and such an awkward act reoeived ite origin. It has arbitrarily controlled tbe men and supposed to rank s mark of the gentleman, for as nottny years back as history extends, despite the colds it has caused, the bald heads it has exposed and the infinite trouble and em• berrassment it is said to have mewed, by giving to the wind e badly attached toupees that disappeered around one corner, while their discomfited owners took refuge from the street's laughter around another. So now, it is said, we are to do away with this sort of thing, and the sensible and Biraple substitute that prevails in Oriental countries is to be adopted. That mode consists in placing the right hand impressively over tbe heert and bending the head slightly forward, so as to naske a noticeable but not extravegent obeisance. Progreso has been made in this reform to such an extent that many gentlemen now juet touch the rim of a hat, a la mititarre, when meetiug a, lady, and it is accepted Se being a good form.

"1 swear you shall bitterly repent it I" Wild whittled the bleak wind. Diernelly moaned the huge elm tree that rasped and &matched itself spinet the cruel edges of the shingles of the cornice, and grue- somely groaned Algernon Fitz -Thompson MoStab, as he stole forth in the dead of night to the ancestral emoke-house in the back y ard. "I'll sbow her l" he muttered between his teeth. Frorn beneath his ooat, he drew a cone• pea bundle of letters, cut the string that bound them together, streak a match, made a bonfire of the collection, and watched them slowly consume to ashes. He was burning letters written in hap- pier days to Rachael Hamtagg. She had returned them to him. " This is to sudden," eaid the widow, blushingly, end so unexpected. I-1 thought your visits to our bonne were for the parpme of seeing my daughter." " She is too young," replied the visitor decidedly. "1 told her so last evening. We parted in a friendly spirit; but I gave her to understand as delicately tiai I could that I should not call to see her any more. This is sudden, it ia true, but I trust none the less agreeable. May I not venture to hope 7" "Why, sir, I--" "And now, my dear," he said, at the ex- piration of s happy half hour, as he gently lifted her head from his shoulder, "1 should like to see your—or perhaps I ought now to say our—daughter, to tell her of this happy event." "Shall I call her 7" "It you please, my dear." " Rachael," said Algernon Fitz -Thomp- son MoStab, pleasantly, "you will be gled to know, I dare say, that lam to be your, father. That is all we wished to say to her, was it not, my love? You may go, Rachel:31. Please clone the door, my child, SB you go out."—Chicago Tribune. ONE tEIDNDRED AND TEN EILLED. A Mammoth, Pa., despatch says: One • hundred and ten men were killed in the ex- plosion. Sixty bodies have been taken ont so far. The mine is now on fire, and it is feared the bodies of the others will e cremated. Youngwood Pa ,despatch says: When the volunteers entered the exploded mine yes terday a sight impossible to picture met them. Bank osre, males, and more terrible than all, men were piled in soompaot mese against the ribs or wails of coal and not a living thing was in the wreckage. It was almost as solid as the coal itself, so terrine was the force of the explosion. This obstrnotion was removed with difficulty and they then entered a cohamber of horrors. The lira object they diseovered after leaving the main entry Wele a gnmhoot. In it was the leg of a man. Farther on they found a buratto head, but nowhere in eight was the trank that had borne it bat a.few minutes before. After walking a distance, surrounded by dangers unseen but more terrible than can be imagined, they fennel the trunk. The ragged neck with the blood oozing from it told the story of the appalling disaster. Working their way in the band forma the bodies strewn along the gangway. One unfortunate met death while on his knees in prayer, with his hands clasped and eyes upturned his body was found in thie position. The services of physicians were not needed, for every man in the headings where the explo• don occurred was killed. Dead bodies were brought up every few minutes, and the tirowd et the shaft month simply fell back to allow the men carrying the stretchers room to pasta Every corpse was covered and 00 000 even ventured to inquire which body it was, for they knew every one in that part of the mine was dead. Supt. Keighley said: No man living knows the cense of the acoident and it will never be known for a certainty. John W. Bell, fire boos at Heels No. 1, aid: About two years ago there was an 'explosion of gas at this mine and one man was burned to death. No safety lamps were need here. I do not know whether or not the fire boss did his duty. Bat let ne be charitable enough to hope be did, There was too much work bore for one fire boss, anyhow. They disoharged one a couple of make ago to reduce oXpeneee and one men has been Sorced to do the work. I managed to imoure' the last report of the Mine Inspector, and it is a very important dooument just new. The last examination of the maramoth mine by the State Inspector was Inside January 161h, 1891. It shown that ett the inlet, which is the slope, a mile or more away from the theft, there was 65,030 oubio feet of sir entering, The general emeditton a the mine was marked fair. Supt. Lynch said the Mammoth mune was long thought to be the Berea mine of Abe twenty-nine operated by the Frick Company. Mr. Lynch thought it possible that in drawing the ribs or pillars some miner had tapped gas. All lights were :bpienng. and the gas was ' rtn Unexpected Up to midnight there were sixty bodies moovered. Every five minutes a corpse would be brought tO the endue and it would pass through the line of web:there without comment neve the expression, " another one."

SOIENTIP_IO_APRDNES- Disgraceful Scenes at the Banquet in Berlin te the Medical connmes. The Medical and Surgical Reporter, Phila.. delphia, has the following in the Novern• ber number, from ite Berlin correspondent: " The disgraceful scenes at the banquet given by thenity of Berlin to the Medical Congress were recently the topic of die- cuseioa itt council. A councilman called r the medical sohnetzenfeetn and empha- sized the waste of money., He was not alto- gether wrong. The naoney Spent by the city for the Rathans banquet, was really enormous, and the result was the total intoxioetion of most of the shining lights of the profession. I regret to say that the bigger the man the more he was inebriated. On a profemor whose name is a household word all over the medical world artificial reepiretion was practiced ror almost an hour, and another .professor who has revolutionizsd one of the most import- ant of medical branches had a bad out in his head, the result of a fall.

Diverse Divorce Laws. The mile of marriage and divorce grow- ing out of the conflicting laws of the several states have long claimed publics attention. It is possible for a marriage valid in one State to be invalid in another; for persons to be divorced in one and bound in another; for a woman to be a lawful wife in one and not in another ; for children to be legiti. mate in one and illigitimete in another; for persons to be lawful heirs in one and without righto of inheritance in another. These are evils for which the remedy is not easy and has long been sought in vain. The most effective remedy would be a national, underlie law of marriage and divorce. Such a law ciae come only from Congrese after being empowered by a con- stitutional amendment to enact it. In lieu of thin, condiment aation by the several State legislatures has been urghd—eaole adopting a similar node of marriage and divorce Jew. The outlook for the matfett. tion of thie reform is not very promising, —New York Herald. 41, Partly Rik Fault.

Glasgow cieble sem : Serious rioting on the part of the railroad strikers mooed yesterday. A band of masked etrikern, armed with sticks and atones, attacked ana severely maltreated a number of men who were at work in and about the locomotive shed of the Caledonian Railway at Strath. even. After breaking a number of win - dowel and driving the working men away the rioters ran one of the locomotives into a turnteble pit and derailed another engine in mole a manner that it will require con- siderable labor. to again place the locomo- tive ehed in working condition. In spite of the police the strikers have gathered on the railroad bridges at Wenmse 13ay, near Wemyes Castle, on the Firth of Forth, and stoned the firemen and engineers of passing trains. Several firemen and engineers have been disabled. The railroad tracks below Greenock were yesterday found COV- ered with sat soap, making it impossible for a train to pass until the rails had been ()leaned. rtlittNieta oar Totiti 0/03, Anal His Head Body was Ifolind Lying on the Bed. Frank Birdsall, A 411.1o:town replant of Oherleston, came to Toronto Monday with I, L. Decide et the same place to purchase booke for the library titer°. They put up at the Revere House. Yesterday moping Dodds called at Birdeall's room and told him that it wee nearly train time. Birdsall ettme to the door, said be did not feel very well and would not go home until night. Dodds Accordingly went home !done and Birdsall ley down spin. About noon one of the other gueste heard grottos in Bird - sail's room, but maid, no afloat= to It. A couple of hours later one of the chamber- maids infoennel the proprietor that gas was escaping somewhere, and, being invem tigated, it was traced to Birdeall'e room. The door was locked end lead to be broken open, which being done Biroleall's dead body was found lying partly dressed on the bed. It is supposed Birdsall accidentally turned the gas on after turning it off. He vase tolerably well -travelled and would hems been unlikely to have blown it out.

Our Friends the EnetnY, Burke's eon' would have been tried beyond endurance had he been charged with checking the settlement of a new nonnisry by resisting the imposition of exorbitant taxes and transportation rates npon the pioneer,; or, as in the case of the National Polioy, of causing an increase in the cost of living by urging the Government not to hand the people over to the Moder mercy of the combines. The truth is the Government is bankrupt of anything like sane and coherent argue went. From day to day its press renders the average Tory dizzy by enunciating each propositions as these : That free trade with the States would be ruinous to the !rimers of South Victoria, and of On. terio at huge but juet the thing for those of Napierville and Quebec; that we could not make anything out of it because the Yankee prodaots are similar to our own, although our intemProvinoial trade is booming in epite of a greater similarity; that the N. P. does not increase the price of mannfactnree, inaemech as they were dearer ten or twenty years ago, neverthe- less the Yankee ferneries would hopelessly undersell ours if the customs barrier were removed; theit the MoKinley tariff does not affect the Canadian shipper to the States, yet the old man stated with consummate wisdom in repealing the export duty on logs to obtain for Canadian lumbermen the benefit of a reduced American duty on sewn pine; that two home industries are better than one for the ()median farmer, but two free markets, the United States in addition to England, would not be so good as one, etc., etc.—from all of which it follows that the Grits are a base orew, and that the N. P. is triumphantly vindicated. This is a fair sample of the intellectual provender supplied to a dazed party, that plus the constant shriek about "raising the flag" and "hoisting the banner ' by way of concealing the hoisting and raising of the taxes that go to enrioh the vulgar oligarchy which has bought and paid for the teriffmnaking power.—Toronto Globe.

A It effects remarkable cures where other medicines have utterly failed to do any good whatever. It is a modern medicine, originated by experienced pharmacists, and still carefully prepared under their per- sonal supervision. a It is clean, clear and beautiful in V appearance, pleasant to take, and always of equal strength. 7It has proven itself to be positively the best remedy for scrofula and all blood disorders, and the best tonic tor that tired feeling, loss of appetite and general debility. 8It is unequalled for curing dyspepsia, sick headache, biliousness, catarrh, rheumatism and all diseases of the kid- neys and liver. n It has a gond name at home, there being more of Hood's Sarsaparilla sold in Lowell, Mass., where it is made, than of all &ther sarsaparillas and blood purifiers combined. 1 A Its advertising is 'unique, original, ‘i honest, and thoroughly backed up by the medicine itself.
