FOUR SCORE ARE DEAD.

VIENNA, Jan. 25.—An explosion of fire-damp occurred Tuesday in the I'ortschritt mine at Dux, in Bohemia. Dispatches from Dux Tuesday say that eighty miners were killed and scores were injured. The explosion occurred when the shifts were changing. A cage full of miners had been lowered half way down the shaft when the ground trembled/aloud rumbling report was heard and the cable attached to the cage gave such a lurch that the lowering machinery broke. A rush of air and dust from the pit's mouth, the sounds of crashing timbers and the cries of the men in the cage gave warning to the men ubove of the extent of the disaster. Help was summoned. The machinery was repaired after a delay of half an hour, and the cage was raised. Ten of the occupants had been killed instantly by the shock, ten had suffered fractures from which tlicy cannot recover, five who had broken limbs and internal injuries will live.

They had been suffocated by the gas rising in the thaft, and said that no man could live below.

Kcfictilns Dead And Injured.

An hour later the superintendent of the mine and five miners from the night shift went ddwn in the cage. lhey were unable to go more than a hundred yards from the shaft into the gallery, but they found fourteen dead bodies. Of the fifty men who were waiting for the cage ten had been killed and forty had been partially crushed

..by falling timbersor half suffocated by the foul air. A short distance from the shaft the superintendent found four bodies which had been crushed beyond recognition by a falling beam. The bodies and the injured were taken to the top where the whole mining settlement had gathered to watch the work of rescue. The men who had been brought up from the bottom said that a fmv minutes after the explosion they had heard cries and groans from

Ihe mouth of the gallery about 300 yards from the shaft There was heavy timber work at this place and they believed that the men in this gallery had been imprisoned by the falling beams. lhey believed that some forty men had been at work there. Shortly before the cage came down they said I lie cries ceased.

The mine officials sent to Dux for police, and three companies of soldier are camped in the fields around the pit's mouth. The miners' families arc still at watches and remained in the fields all night, despite the inclemency of the weather.

I., ti. C. I. A MAR.

tices Gray and Brown) heavily draped in mourning again told the story that between the adjournment of the court .Monday evening and its reassembling there had passed away one of its members. The death of Justice Lamar was not startling to his associates, for thoy had realized wheu he left this city for the south that in all probability he would not resume his seat on the bench yet it was unexpected and a shock to them, for the last news they had from him was to the effect that be was improving and getting along quite nicely.

The bar and the audience quarters of the court were filled when llic justices filed in to their places and the court was opened. Chief Justice Fuller announced Mr. Justice Lamar's death in few words, saying: "It again becomes my melancholy duty to atinonncc the death of a member of this con-t Mr. Justice l.amar died at Macon, Ga., last evening at 50 minutes past S. No business will be transacted. The court will adjourn until Monday next."

The court crier at once declared the court adjourned. The justices, with a few exceptions, will attend the funeral of Mr. Lamar.

an senatorial caucus Tuesday afternoon decided by a majority vote to take favorable action upon the admission of the territories of Oklahoma, Utah and New Mexico, but left Arizona out in the cold, This result was not attained until after prolonged discussion.

great deal of opposition

was manifested on the part of some eastern senators, who pointed to what they called Ihe manifest evidences of the inability of these territories to take up the cares and burdens of statehood. Objection was made to the admission of New Mexico on account of its great preponderance of citizens who could not speak or write the English language to Arizona because of its immense debt and the poverty of the territory to Utah on account of the prevalence of polygamy, and Oklahoma by reason of its newness and the absence of the essentials which go to make up a successful territory ready for the more advanced position of statehood.

The house has already passed the bills for the admission of New Mexico

and Arizona, but taken on Utah.

FROZEN IN THE WOODS.

Tha

It ndy of Arthur J. Morton Pound si Tolletton, lnd. CHICAGO, Jan. 25. —The body of Ar

thur J. Morton was found frozen stiff in the woods near Tolleston, Ind., on Monday. Morton and a friend named Stevenson left the city last Saturday afternoon for Tolleston to become a guest of the Calumet Shooting club of which Stevenson is a member. Sunday morning early the two went out hunting. At 12 o'clock that night, so exhausted that he was scarcely able to walk, Stevenson returned to the clubhouse. At noon Monday Morton's body was found by the side of a lonely road running from Tolleston to Miller'sSt.ation and hut little used in winter. Be fore that time Stevenson was at work at. his desk in this city. Morton's failure to appear caused him and the company officials no little anxiety, and at 4 o'clock Monday afternoon Steven son was sont to Morton's home to see if he was there. An hour later the officials were notified of the finding of

Morton's body. •Stevenson told the officials of the coal company that, after starting out shooting Sunday they found the snow so deep in the woods and their hunting clothing was so heavy that they soon became weary. They were without food, and the country being succession of marshes, by noon they were both pretty well played out and discovered that tlicy were lost. Morton. says Stevenson, became desperate and took copious pulls from whisky bottle which he carried, and the liquor seemed to go to his head at once. Once he pulled a revolver from his pocket and placed it to his head as if to shoot himself, but Stevenson took it from him and placed it in his own pocket. Finally. Morton refused to walk any further, and then, said Stevenson, he picked him up and carried him for several miles. Then they fell in with two men who hud a hand-car and appeared to be railroad men.* They agreed to take Morton with them to Miller's Station, and Stevenson left his friend with them, starting himself to walk back to the club-lionse, where he arrived at midnight,
