ered and Identified. EYANSTON, Wy., March 22.—The de

tails of the explosion at the Rocky Mountain Coal and Iron company's miue No. 5, at Red Canyon, at, 5:45 Wednesday evening, mark it as one of the most horrible in the history of coal mining in the west.

The total number known to have perished is 00, of which 51 are married and 9 young men and boys. Up to this hour

the bodies of the following out of a tofal I of 5:5 who mj-t their death in the mine have been recovered and turned over to I their relatives: \Y. 15. Clark, John Morris, D. Laurie,

G. Hyde, John Locke, W. R. (irieves and hainuel Clay, all single. Samuel Hutchinson, William Morris, Thomas Booth. Benjamin Colt*. Chart S. Clark, A\illiam Brown, James Limb and Fred Morgan, all lucu of large families.

This le iv«" uurecovered bodies in the mine. The timbering is largely blown out and the walls and roof of the whole interior are wrecked and shattered so that the volunteer searching party of IS, now seeking the bodies of their comrades, are every moment in damrer of being buried.

The coroner's jury has been empanelled which views the remains as brought out and turned over to relatives.

The agonizing screams of widows and children about the mouth of the mine beggars description.

There are 50 widows and 250 orphaned children as a result of the disaster. About 30 of the men killed belonged to the Ancient Order of United Workmen, in which order they were insured for £2,000 apiece.

The mules that were in the mine are so burned that they have to be removed oil account of the odor, before the work can proceed.

SENSATIONAL RUMOR.

The Spanish Slinister at Washington Said to Have Resigned. WASHINGTON, March 22.—A statement

is in circulation here that Senor Murugaii, the Spanish minister, has cabled his resignation to his home government on account of complications arising from the Alliauea and that a reply has been received from Spain instructing him to retain his official position at Washington as the representative of the Spanish government.

It lias been ihipdssible to secure a confirmation or denial of this statement. The iinal reply of Spain to Secretary Gresham's demand in the Allianca affair has not yet been received. Ill the preliminary reply it was stated that definite responses would lie made as soon as communication could be had with the Spanish gunboat charged with the offense.

The gunboat reported at Cn a the following day and the Spanish authorities are doubtless in possession of her version of the case. Tliey are evidently proceeding with deliberation, howeve.", as the response basutl on all the facts is not yet at hand.

PREPARING FOR A BATTLE.

Japanese Kxneeted to J,:unl Troops at Shaniali-I-ianwaii and Kim-how. LONDON. March 22.—The Times has

this dispatch iron its Shanghai correspondent: A Japanese fleet is reported off the Paseadore islands, which lit? a short distance to the westward of central Formosa, being separated from that island by the Formosa channel. Torpedoes, to prevent tin- entrance of the Japanese vessels, have been placed in the harbor of Amoy, a treaty port in the province of FuI.'ien, which is separated from the Pesvadore islands by the comparatively narrow .t'eseadore channel.

Telegrams from the. north report that many Japanese vessels are off ShaniahKauwan and Kinchow, on the Gulf of Liao Hung Tong. It is expected that there will be an early landing oi" Japanese forces at these ports. The Chinese defending the towns are on the alert.

IManter Fatally Stabbed.

PINK BLUI\F, Ark., March 22.—W. F. Campbell, a prominent planter of this county, was fatally stabbed by J. J. Cole, a farmer, yesterday in this city. Campbell, in a drunken frenzy, went to the apartments of Cole and kicked in the d( or, and when remonstrated with he picked up a chair and hit Cole over the head several times, when the latter drew a knife and stabbed him. The men were strangers.

Ocean Steamships Overdue. BALTIMORE, March 2*2.—Three large

ocean steamships are now overdue at this jiort. They are the Johnston liner's Baltimore and Mentmore, which, l^ave been out 20 days from Liverpool, and the Dutch tank steamer from Rotterdam, the La Campine, over three weeks at sea. The trip should not have occupied more than 17 oris days. It is thought the vessels have been delayed by stormy weather.

Miss Lulu Crawford entertained a number of her lady friends at a thimble party yesterday afternoon. A hemming contest was held, with Mrs. Ovid Butler, Mrs. Wm. R. Hough and Mrs. Mary Swope as judges. Miss Sue Wilson won the first prize, a pretty day lie, and Mrs. J. F. Mitchell the second, a scissors case, both the dainty needlework of the hostess. Mrs S. &M. Kreer rendered a humorous recitation in her usual charming manner. In the evening Miss Crawford entertained a company of i„her friends, ladies and gentlemen, at a "Curio" irty. It was a very pleasant affair. The guests were given a card with the name of a person, object, sentiment or idea which was represented by some article or articles, and the object was to guess what article or object represented. The company enjoyed the guessing contest very much. Will A. Hough, Miss Ella Marsh and Mrs. W. S. Montgomery guessed the entire number—30. Mr. H. received the gentleman's prize, a handsome vase, and Miss Marsh and Mrs. Montgomery were given a chance at an additional number, and as it was guessed by the latter she won the ladies' prize, three pretty dishes. Refreshments were served and all had a delightful time. The parties were given in honor of Miss Crawford's guest, Mrs. Ovid Butler, of Indianapolis, who went home this morning. .V ,f -W

GREENFIELD, INDIANA, FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH 22, 1895. "C PRICE, TWO CENTS

A STRANGE LIGHT

Is Seen on the Railroad Kvery Night 1J Citizens of the South End.

For a month past a strauge light has been appearing on the railroad about 12 a. m., and has caused considerable comment by those living in that vicinity. We learn to-day that Ed Watson, who lives on the corner of Railroad and Ea-.t streets, has been seeiug this light for some time, but paid no attention to it until this week. One nighc the first of this week he concluded to investigate, and, if possible, see if he could find out what the light was, or what made it.

The light seemed to rise close to the section house, east of East street, and travels in an easterly direction till it comes to the old cemetery, and then goes north till it comes to the National road, then comes back to the railroad near the bridge over Brandywine. Mr. Watson, seeing the light Monday night, started after it, and when ne got close to it. the thing, whatever it was, darted past h:m and vanished. It is said that the hair

Ed's head stood up like the bristles

a porcupine, and that he made doublequick time to his home. Last night the light was again visible to a number of Southsiders, among whom was Rev. George Tague. Mr. Ta^ue could net imagine what the light was, unless it \\athe reflection of a lantern earned ly ton. one. One of the persons present suggested n.a it was a lantern carried George Hacker, who worked at the papyr mill, and who goes on duty at 12 a. m. A delegation of women went to Hacker's I home this morning, but learned that George took an entirely different route to his work. The light is a deep mystery and will be investigated by citizens liviug in that vicinity to-night. It is said that the light is as larye as a hall-bush 1 measure, and travels about six feet from the ground.

Sold Whisky to 3Iinors.

James McGuire, who runs a drug store at Maxwell, was before Mayor Duncan Saturday charged with selling liquor to minors. The information which led to his arrest was furnished by Eurl Jackson, a minor. The Mayor fined McGuire $20 and cost, which amounted to -$29.10 This is the first arrest aud conviction for the above cause that happened iu this county for some time, but it should not be the last, as whisky can be purchased by aloiost any one at many of the drug storeg ,in this couuty.

WHISKY TRUST DEEDS

Lawyer Ewbanks Claims They Are Faulty.

SENSATIONAL DEVELOPMENTS.

It Is Alleged That Not One-Fifth of the

Ileal Estate liclouging to the Trust Has

lieen Conveyed Into the Hands of the Receiver—Other Items of Interest to III-

(liana Readers. INDIANAPOLIS, March 22.—Louis Ew

banks of this citv says that more sensational developments in the whisky trust receivership case might be expected soon.

Relative to the deed being filed in the various counties by order of the United States court, Lawyer Ewbanks said: "This deed now iu the hands of the recorder of Dearborn county, actually conveys less than one-fifth of the real estate belonging to the trust and none of the personal estate. "The descriptions are printed in small, close set type, ami cover 11 pages, and the phrases which declare continued ownership of the personal estate, aud of so much of the real estate are introduced about the middle of th page in an unobtrusive manner. "Of course, the action o» the officers in using a printed description of th property, in which these objectionabphrases are found, and thereby faiiiiur to obey the order of the court m.v, have been entirely innocent, and if so, they will doubtless hasten to execute a new deed, actually conveying the property which it describes."

At a recent meeting in Honolulu these prominent royalists took par! in forming a constitution and articles of belief. These state.: "First—We In-lieve that the republican, form of government has come to stay in these islands. pj "Second—We believe that every per-

son should assist the government in the carrying out of its policy of political annexation oi' these islands to the United States."

The thi-'d article declares that. 1 lie resent Dole government secures liberty, security, free speech and free press, restriction of Asiatic emigration and cable communication.

The constitution restricts memlers of tho new organization to natives or those having Hawaiian, blood, or foreigners who have married i.u Hawaii.

There has b'en no fresh developments concerning the demand
