FIRE DAMP.

Deadly Damp in a Well Kills a Man,

And Then Two Other Brave Fellows Who go to His Rescue-

PITTSBURG,Oct. 30.—Kieier & Stwfel'S tannery in the upper part of Allegheny City was the scene of a terrible affair this forenoon, two men sacrificing their lives in aa unsuccessful attempt to save that ol a fellow workman. The firm have been digging a well to be used as a rat, and this forenoon Christ Dickson, an employe, went down to measure the depth of water, when he was overcome by the foul air. Ferd Sclnader and Chas. Schultz, who were working near by heard his cries and Schrader descended into the well to help him, bst no sooner reached the bottom than the fatal choke damp rendered him insensible. Schultz then followed but he was also overcome* P.opes were then procured and fastened around the bodies of Solomon Bamberger and Rhinehart Remsen, who were lowered into the death trap. With difficulty they tied the bodies to ropes and all were hauled up. Dickson, Schrader and Schultz were dead and Bamberger and Remsen were unconscious but with the aid of restoratives were soon revived and able to go to their homes. Dickson was a single man and the other two married.

NEW GOSHEN ITEMS-

Old Uncle Dan Shirley lives two miles north of New Goshen on the Park road. He is very old but still retains physical power to do his own chores. He has as good a farm as Fayette affords and in times past it has been well managed, but since Uncle Dan has to depend on renting the soil it is not so aa oi yore. This is a splendid stock farm and he has received handsome profits in that direction The school-house at Sanford is finished and the people of that place are proud of the structure, as they see that the trustee has discharged his duty toward them quite a good feeling exists toward him. The fact is gaining ground every day that Deck is one of the best trustees we have had. He is not afraid to do his duty. A trustee should be a man of business and not a man to court a few votes. Scott, as a matter of necessity, will be re-nomina-ted for the place again, and if any Democrat doubts this Snip will show the reason in arguments too reasonable to be doubted or refuted,and the people of San--ford will show to the commonwealth of

Fayette that they know how to treat the first man who has headed their appeala for a decent house Quite a fine lot of fruit trees came out this way on Monday. We are pleased to see this and hope that no pains will be spared this fall to replenish our orchards. Farmers should not be discouraged on account of bad luck, but keep renewing the orchard. One single hit may fetch a fine lot of fruit -Ben. Hale is furnishing the lumber to build the Coal Creek bridge at Wilhoil's ford Sonnie Huff was surprised a few mornings ago on waking to find that two strangers had made their appearance. One is a boy, the other is a girl Men who have corn in the bottoms are anxious to get it out as they look for a rise Hedges and Wright finished their part of the gravel road on last Saturday It is seldom that we ever think or reflect on a job of work or of the workmen after it is finished, but this is one consummation upon whichjthe people^of Fayette will reflect with pleasure and oertainly will look upon this road as being one of the real blessings. The little sum of money that it takes to built it will not be missed and all, poor and rich, will enjoy the benefit of a road whick will stand for years if properly cared for. Hedges, and Wright have had along and tedious time of it, but no labor has been spared in making thid a good road and all pains that could possibly be taken has been taken. Every shovel of dirt has been turned that should have been, to make this a good highway. They seem not to regard it a9 a matter of dollars and cents but one of a good road. We hope that they have made money by it we know •that they have made many friends. On Saturday evening they pulled stakes for home, and the boys all seemed to be as happy as birds let out of a cage. We cannot ntrain from saying hero that the slaughter* of the contractors have made many friends in this part ot the country. Thev did the house work for the labor-ers.-—It will be a long time before Coal Cresk will again be as lively as it has been the past six months. It is •surely a lucky hit to Sugar Creek township that they are the contractors on the isouth end. Dock HufFs team ran off with his son Dick a few days ago and drug the wagon over him breaking one iarm, one leg and skinning his head badly. Wm. Whitlock is now living is his new house in New Goshen.— -The river is rising rapidly.

OLD SNIP.

A Scoundrel's Opinisn.

NEW YORK, Oct. 81.—O'Donovan Rossa states that the explosions yesterday in the underground railway at London were the work ol the Fenian Brotherhood, of whose movements he is apprised. London would be in ashes, he said, before long, unless England gave up Ireland. New developements might be expected any moment for it was now the purpose of the Brotherhood to reduce England to submission.

Details of the Earthquake in the Ancient City on Sunday.

Nnw YOHK, Oct. 31—A cable telegram from Constantinople gives the details of the earthquake at Smyrna, Asia Minor, on Sanday. The population of this ancient town is 160,000,. 80,000 of whom are Greeks, 40,009 Turks, 15,000 Jews,6,000 Armenians and 15,000 .Fransk. For centuries it has been the most important centre of trade in the Levant. Shocks of earthquake have been of frequent recurrence all through Anatolia during the past fifteen days. On Saturday night they became quite severe, and many of the inhabitants had left their homes in search of places of greater safety. On Sunday morning heavv banks of clouds massed themselves overjthe city, completely obscuring the sky. A very sudden depression of the barometer took place, and the terror of approaching danger communicated itself to the animals and birds. Then the vibrations began to increase in frequency and violence, and before 9 o'clock ten distinct shocks had been lelt. The waves extended from northeast to southwest. At 11 o'clock the shocks were most severe, and building after building tottered.

The walls ol the city, which were built in the time of the Crusades, toppled over and were completely destroyed, and with them perished many of the ancient glories ot the town. The old castle on the summit of Mount Pagus, overlooking the town, the remains of which have been in tolerable preservation Bince the thirteenth century, is only a heap of marble fragments and small stones. Within the castle enclosure stood the relics of the old temple in the stadium of which St. Polycarp suffered martyrdom, and these have been utterly destroyed. The Niins of the antique mosque, which also stood within the castle walls, and which is said to have been the primitive church of Smyrna, have fallen. The ancient aqueduct across the Meles river, some distance from the town, is entirely destroyed. The palace of Hob Zoamar, the Pasha, is in ruins. Only oBe of all the mosques and churches in the city is left standing uninjured. The large Roman Catholic Cathedral, which was somewhat damaged two weeks ago, is now so much injured it will require an enormous sum to repair it. The British Military Hospital is shaken down, but the few patients under treatment were removed before the great crash came. The office of the French newspapers was utterly demolished. Along the line of the Smyrna and Adria railway all the stations were demolished and the tracks ef the line so twisted and contorted that it is thought new ones will have to be constructed. In the business quarter of the town, which lies near the bay, the destruction was very great. The loss of life in Smyrna does not exceed one hundred and twen-ty-five owing to the absence of the townspeople and the precautions taken for instant flight by those who remained to the last.. The number of injured will not be greater than 250. In the out-lying country and in the districts remote from Smyrna the destruction of property and loss of life are very great. All along the western coast of the peninsula the shocks were so severe as to change the formation of the land in many places. Some of the deep bays have been almost completely choked up by great land slides. Cos Island, Tamos, Metelin and Lesbos in the jEgean Sea, a few miles off the western coast of Anatolia, were all severely shaken "up, and on Tamos and Lesbos the loss of life and property was very great. The marshy tracts at the mouths of the Holys and Iris rivers, disappeared entirely and left abed of water several miles in extent, through which the tops of trees project to indicate the former site of an extensive forest. The southern tableland was rent and sundered, and numerous small salt lakes with which it was dotted have sunk out of sight. Tremendous chasms have been made among the limestone hills at the foot of the Taurus range. One ot the peaks of the range called Bulghar Dagh, was shaken^ off on Sanday afternoon and rolled into the

eighty The whole country around the Gulf of Islanderun was badly torn up and many lives lost there. The waters of the ^Egean sea were terribly agitated in sympathy with the earthquake shocks. Following is a summary ot the losses of life: At Alahanda, IK) at Eespit, 50 at Akhissar, 40 at Cozaguda, 400 at Singerti, one-third of the people perished. The shocks along the coast ot Greece were very severe at Cap au Veria, 80 people were killed and 125 injured at Mestra, 20 were killed, and Monembassia also suffered considerable loss of life.

EDISON'S LIGHTS.

One of His Districts in Hew York City Suddenly Left in Darkness.

Nnw YORK, N. Y., Oct. 35.—Four thousand Edison lights west out in the down-town district east of Broadway, yesterday afternoon, and the lamps were useless the rest of the night. At Kolb's restaurant, on Pearl, near Wall street, the diners suddenly found themselves in gloom. Mr. Kolb bad no gas on the premises. He sent out and bought a lot of candles, which, stuck in wine bottles, illuminated the restaurant from the tables. In the Mill and Drexel buildings, which are lighted by this system, most of tbe tenants shut up their offices and went home. $

The Pe&rl street station of the Edison company supplies the district bounded by Frankfort street, the East river, Wall street and Broadway. The plant contains five r25-horse power engines. In the summer ouly three of the engines were worked. Lately, however, owing to the earlier nightfall, more lights have been used, and there has been a corresponding increase ot power. The wires leading irom the plant run underground, and in order to guard against accident from loading the wires too heavily witb electricity, safety-catches are used. These catches are ribbons of lead three and a half inches long, seven-eighths of an inch wide, and one-eighth of an inch thick. In one end there is a hole, aud the other there is a slot. The catch i's let into a wire, and the current runs through it. If the current becomes too strong the lead melts and the circuit ie broken before the wires can be heated to a dangerous point. The safety catch is one of Edison's patents, and. is used chiefly as a guard against fires.

Last evening the wires were too heavily loaded, and many of the catches melted, and all of the 4,700 lights which are fad from the Pearl street plant which were lighted went out. The safety catches are in iron boxes with lids, so that they may be got at without digging the streets.

TERRIBLE SXPL0SI0HS.

Two London Railway Stations Destroyed By Dynamite. LONDON, October 30.—At eight o'clock this evening a terrible explosion occurred near Praed street under the ground station ot the Metropolitan railway. On the first alarm a strong cordon of police were called to keep order and clear the way, and convey the wouHded to the hospitals. The passengers on the train at the time oi the explosion say there wis suddenly aloud report like a cannon ,and then sudden darkness, the gas lights from the front to the rear of the train being put out, ibe glass broken and splinters of wood flew about the cars cutting and wounding many people. Above the din were heard the shrieks of the injured and panic stricken people. The train contained principally country visitors returning from the fisheries exhibition. After leaving the station the train traveled steadily ahead, although the concussion smashed all the lamps on the Praed etreet station and caused much damage. When the train reached the next station, the first effort was made to rescue the wounded. Some were dreadp. fully burned, but more prostrated by fright. All the doctors, surgeons, and dispensaries in the vicinity were called into requisition. The first impression was an accidental explosion was the cause of the disaster, but later inquiries tend to show malice. The rear carriages were damaged most. They were skele tons. Another theory is that the explosion was caused by foul gas accumulated in the tunnel. This, however, is untenable because no premonitory symptoms were observable. The general opinion of railway officials and experts is the disaster was caused by some explosion, of material which had been placed probably in the rear carriages. It is believed about forty persons were injured, some dangerously.

Almost simultaneously with the Praed street affair, a violent explosion occnrred on an underground railway between Charing Cross afid Westminster station*. The windows of the signaling stations in the tunnel were shattered, and at Charing Cross the glass'roof of the station partly collapsed. The report is described as being like that of artillery,and in effect like the Praed street. All traffic was suspended for awhile. Although both explosions are matters of the greatest mystery, they are generally thought to be of Fenian origin. The shocks ot both explosions were very like the shock of the explosion at the local government board offices in March last, in which Dr. Gallagher was implicated. It is stated four machines were found in in the tunnel neat Praed street Altogether six cars were shattered. Although about forty persons were admitted to the hospitals, many more were injured but sent directly to their own homes.

Creesetiai Works Destroyed. NORFOLK, Va., Oct. 31.—By the accidental escape of oil the Old Dominion Creosoting works, Eaward Andrews proprietor, at Money Point, a few miles up the river from here, were destroyed in a few minutes, also a quantity of lumber and six thousand barrels of creostoing oil. The cause of the disaster was the loosening of the packing on a pressure pump, which let the oil escape and knocked over a lamp. In a monent everything was in a blaze. Immense cylinders, one hundred feet long and six feet in diameter, exploded and disappeared, it is thought in the river a hundred feet away from the works. The loss is estimated at $100,000 insurance unknown. No life lost,

JCXPLO&IONS.

LONDON, Oct. 31.—The excitement over the explosions at the underground railway line last evening was very great. A large number of policemen under special inspectors were on duty all night at various railway stations and guarding the line. A heavy force also watched the houses of parliament and other public baildings. The explosion at Charing Cross occurred at a distance of 200 yards west of the station. 'No train was there at the time. The walls of the tunnel were battered but the rails were not misplaced. Windows in the station were blown out the roof not damaged. No person was hurt there. At the Praed street station the force of the explosion was terrible. Although workmen have teen busily engaged all night removing tbe debris, they have not yet finished their task, nor has the\ damage at that placijj been repaired. Ifbe tunnel there was not destroyed, but a deep hole was excavated in tbe road bed. Brick work was blown out and gas pipes and telegraph lines broken. The refreshment saloon was wrecked and the windows of the other rooms of the station were smashed. The explosion occurred immediately under a passing train, 40 yards west of the station. All the persons injured were in the last two carriages. Twen-ty-eight persons were wounded they were taken to St. Mary's hospital. Four of them were seriously hurt, but they passed a favorable night and are expected to recover. Others were able to go to their homes during the night. Both explosions occurred about 8:30 o'clock in the evening. I

The police warned railway officials three months ago that they had advices from Ameiioa of threatened explosions and precautious were taken to provide against them. The explosives used last evening were powerful but in a limited quantity. The holes in the ground and brick work are small. j-

TABES O'CLOCK.-

No explosive matter has yet been found at the Praed street station. The inspector from the home office viewed' the scene of the explosion there and afterwards examined the damaged train. He expresses the opinion that cartridges made of tLe first order of explosives, such as gun cotton, were used. The guard states that while looking out of the window just after tbe train left Praed street station, he saw some sparks nearly underneath the carriage, aad immediately afterwards heard the explosion. The ex» plosive used at the Charing Cross station was small in quantity and is not believed to have been dynamite.

All the detect'ves of the metropolitan police are searching for the perpetrators of the outrages and railway 'officers are assisting them. The poiice deny that any rocket cartridges have been found near the scene of the explosion. No traces have been discovered of the nature of the explosives. It is ascertained, that the explosives could not have been caused by coal gas. No clue to persons causing tbe explosions has been obtained. Major Majendie of the Board of Trade, is now Cll A. M.) making an examination of the scene erf the explosion at Charing Cross station. Trains were running as usual this morning.

County Auditor Grimes has had correspondence with firms and contractors from all parts of the country. Up t3 date there have been twenty-six foreign applications for specification, in addition to innumerable requests from home parties. Mr. Grimes' former experience with the court house question has been an invaluable aid to him at the present time, and he has a very systematic manner of giving information to parties desirous of it. The official^ netice to contractors by the board of county commissioners and the specification of labor and material required to execute the excavations and foundations have been printed in a neat pamphlet, and the blank bond as drawn up by the county attorney has also been printed, so that a great deal ot writidg is thus obviated.

D. C., October 30.—The

board of Utah commissioners submitted, the second annual report to the secretary of the interior. After making a statement of former legislation by congress in relation to bigamy or polygamy they say the duties of commission appertain only to matters ot registration, election and eligibility to office while the punishment: of the crime of polygamy is left as under the former law to the courts of justice under the anti-polygamy act. The conkmission had good success at the generaL eleotion in August, 1883, in excluding polygamists from the polls, and as far aa advised very few, it any, illegal votes had been east in Utah. The enforcement of the present law against 12,000 polyga-* mists who had been excluded from the polls shows tbe act had been fully and successfully executed. It is thought discrimination between those Mormons who practice polygamy and those who do not, while not likely to have muck $ effect upon elderly men who already have a plurality of wives and several families, must have great weight with voung men who have politioal ambition. The fact also that it will be necessary for the preservation of the political in* ftuence of the "People's party" (as Mormons style themselves) to have a large body of their members who are not polygamists must tend in time to weaken the praotice of polygamy for every married Mormon who takes but one plural wife loses three votes for hie party, his own and those of his two wivea (woman suffrage being established by law in Utah.) Concerning the plurality of wives, tbe report says that the doetrine and practices, odious throughout the a kingdom, should be upheld so many years against the laws of congress ana the sentiments of the civilised world, la I one of the marvels of tbe nineteenth century, and can be scarcely appreciated even by those familiar with the world's history in relation to the difficulties governmental control or the suppression of religious fanaticism. Certainly no government can permit the violation of, laws under the guise of religious freedom, and while congress may not legislate aa to mere matters of opinion, yet it may denounce and punish as crimes those actions which arc in violation of the duties or subversive of good. The right of congress to suppress this great evil is undoubted. It is equally plain the dignity and good name of this great government among the nations of the earth demand such congressional action as shall effectually eliminate this national disgrace. The commission renews the recommendations contained in the report of November 17th, 1882, notably the one regarding the enactment of a marriag law by congress, declaring all fhture marriages in tbe territory null and void unless contracted and evidenced in the manner provided by the act. If the next legislature shall fail to adopt measures in conformity with the provisions of the act of 1882 for the suppression of polygamy, the commission will be prepared to recommend, and congress will certainly not delay the adoption of the most Btria* gent measures compatible with tbe limitations of the constitution that may be considered necessary for the suppression of this great evil. It has been asserted that polygamic marriages have increased since the passage of the Edmunds act. On the contrary we have tbe opinion of many Mormons and non-Mormons that they have comparatively decreased sinoe the passage of said act. After diligent inquiry we believe the latter conclusion is correct, but the Utah legislature will have a chance of satisfying the country on this particular subject by passing such public marriage act as that we have suggested to congress. By this and such other legislation as we nave indicated they will give the government assurance of their loyalty ana patriotism and avert a contraot that cannot but result la their discomfiture. We consider it proper to commend the zeal ot the governor of Utah in his efforts to enforce the law. (Signed) ALSX. RAMSKY,
