BROWNVILLE, NEBBASKA,
Aivful Calamity.
Scranton. Pa.. Sept. 6. There is
great excitement here in consequence
of the burning of a coal beaker at
Avondale mine. Plymouth, about
twenty miles south of this city. There
are 201 men and boya in the mine,
and the shaft, which Is the only
means of escape, is choked by' forty
feet of burning coal and rnbbish. The
ventillation is totally stopped, and
there are great fears that some, if not
all, will be suffocated.
. Scranton, Pa.,' September 6, 10 p.
m. The latest information from the
Avondale mine states that the shaft
wu cleared and two men went down
end penetrated sixty or seventy yards
to a closed gangway door, which they
could not force open. : They found
three dead mules outside the door, and
eu'phurous flames were pouring out
tL rough the door. Xo signs of life
wtxa discovered, - and ' it is belioved
that they are all dead." " " . y
Scranton, Pa., Sept. 610 p. m.
After the rubbish from the bottom of
the shaft had been cleared away . two
men descended in a bucket ana sent
word up to send down a pick and
shovel to clear the doors with. The
bucket was brought up and two men
started down with the tools. As they
started the men at the bottom reques
ted them to hurry, and on their reach
ing the bottom both were found dead.
No hopes are entertained for the men
in the shaft. All are supposed to have
Eerished. The black damp is very
ad here. .
Dispatches just received from Avon-
dale say that Thomas W. Williams, of
Plymouth, and David Jones, of Grand
Tunnel, who went down to make
further Investigations, were sunocated
to death on a second attempt. Will
iams' dead body was brought out by
David H. Davis and Benjamin Jones.
Thomas Williams went down and
dragged David Jones some distance to
the foot or the shaft, when he was
compelled to come up. . John W. and
Isaac Thomas then went down and
brought up the body. All .who at
tempted to go down are now out alive,
except Williams and Jones. No fur
ther attempt will be made to go down
until a small engine Is rigged. . ; , . i
The loss by the burning of tne Avon-
dale mines is from $S0,000 to $100,000,
not counting the loss by the stoppage
of mining. This mine had been in
volved in a strike for over three
months, but had resumed work on
last Tuesday and was producing 450
tons of coal per day. The works were i
built in 1867, and it will take from
four to six months to rebuild them.
It will take until 5 A. m. to-morrow
to get a small engine to work to drive
a ian at tne moutn or tne snatc ana
force air through a canvas hose. All
who have been down say it is very
hot, and loud calls have failed to elicit
an answer. Tne only nope lor
men in the mine, is that they may
have shut themselves in a remote part ,
of the works, entirely away from, the'
draft.
Scranton. Pa.. Sept. 8 At 5:15
o'clock a. m. four men were lowered
to the shaft and were crone 35 minutes,
and discovered dinner cans and cups.
At 7-30 A. M. four more went down
and were gone 30 minutes, and dis
covered the whole company of miners
dead, in the east side of the plane.
Preparations are being maae to sena
six gangs of men each, and the bodies
will be brought out as rapialy as pos
sible. The foul air does not interfere
to any great extent.
At 7:30 P. M., one or the gang3 re
ported that they had been up the
Plane, just beyond which a barrica-
tion was met; consisting of a car pack
ed around with coal and clothing.
This was cleared away, and proceed
ing a little further another bank; was
met nearly completed and constructed
as the first. One man was found up
on the outside, where he had been at
work laying up the wall. All was
completed save a small aparture suf
ficient to admit the passage or a hu
man body, and it is inferred that he
had just finished his tesk and was pre
paring to join his comrades on the op
posite side by crawling back. This
was removed, when the whole force
of miners were found congregated
and piled one upon another dead.
The first body exhumed was Wra.
P. Ewell, of Plymouth, eyes both open
and head turned aside. He had a son
in the mine. . Dan Jones, who lost
his life in an effort to rescue his com
panions on Monday night, and Thom
as Williams, who also sacrificed his
life for the same object, are to be
buried this afternoon.
Active preparations are making for
the immediate removal of the bodies,
which work will consume the greater
part of the day, owing to the lack of
facilities for hoisting. The condition
of the mine is improving.
At 8:15 the Coroner of Plymouth,
who is on the ground, has impanelled
a jury of inquest, who will view the
bodies as they are brought out.
Confession In the Camp,
Gen. Rosecrans has shown little
regard to the Democratic party, for In
addition to a declination of the nom
ination for the Governorship of Ohio,
we find him uttering the following
decidedly anti-Democratic sentiments.
No local declaration Inviting a pop
ular pre-judgement of any legal ques
tion about the terms of payment of
the national bouds shonlu Impair the
priceless fabric of the public credit at
a time when it is important to create
the speediest means of ridding the
country of these enormous oppressions
but every Democrat platform should
tend to rise higher and higher the
public credit, and to satisfy the people
of Europe that the Democratic is the
last party in the . united States that
proposes to whine xr act reluctlently
about paying the public debt, even
though present holders should have
brought it below its fairvalue.
C. B. & Q. RDILROAD.
A ISeiv $25,000 to be Erected
Immediately. -
We understand from the Quincv
Whig that the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy Railroad Company, whose
freight house was burned last week.
nave promptly aeciaea to cuua a new
freight depot- at once, and the work
will be commenced in a few' days with
a view to its completion the present
season. The sit of the building has
not yet been determined upon, but
it will pretty certainly be on Front
street, at the Toot of Spring near the
old one. ; It will . be large and sub
stantial structure of brick, with slate
roof, and is intended to be entirely
fire proof. The dimensions will be 60
feet in width, by at least 300 (and
perhaps 400) in length, and the cost is
estimated .. at $25,000. Plans and
specifications have been under con
sideration, but the details have not
been finally agreed upon.

The consolidation of the Burlington
& South-western and Nemaha Valley
Railroads, is a sure harbinger of im
mediate prosperity for the citizens of
Southern Nebraska.
President Tracy, of the Burlington
Road, authorizes us to state that the
consolidation has been effected, and
hi3 company will share the franchises
of the Nemaha Nalley Road and push
both through without delay.
The Burlington lload will be con
structed on a straight line from Bur-
liueton to Rulo, where It will form a
junction with the Trunk Road, and
? fll -SA
then in an proDaoiuiy win proceeu to
Pawnee City, or very near it.
Immediate action on the part of our
railroad men will secure the State fran
chise and county donations, and there
is no doubt but what the requisite work
will be done prior to the 14th of Feb
ruary, 1870, to claim the State and
county aid. Omaha Republican.
The County Court in Nodaway
county has ordered a special election
for the adoption or rejection of a prop
osition to subscribe $200,000 to the

the Court provides that in caso two
thirds of the qualified voters of the
county assent to the subscription,
then the bonds shall be issued in case
the other counties, towns, townships,
and private Individuals in the State of
Missouri, aloner the proposed route

speech in that city, says :
The Republican meeting Ia.?t eve

convincing speeches Were made by
Senators Nye, of Aevada, and i hayer,

in a speech which was remarkable far

Death of Senator Fcisendcn.
The Hon. William Pitt Fessenden,
United States Senator from the State
of Maine, died at Portland yesterday
morning at o ciock, after an illness
of six or seven days.
Senator les3enden wa3 one of the
ablest men in the Senate of the Uni
ted States, and has long been connec
ted with public affairs, having occu
pied many positions of trust and hon
or in the State .of his adoption, as well
as In the councils or the nation ana
in the Cabinet.
He was the son of Hon. Samuel
Fessenden, and was born in Boscawen,
New Hampshire, October 18, 1806. He
was, therefore, nearly sixty-three
years of age at the time of his decease.
He graduated at Bowdoin College in
1823; studied law, and was admitted
to the bar in 1327. He removed to
Bridgeton, Cumberland county,
Maine, on his admission to the bar.
and, in 1828, took up his residence in
Portland, where he continued to re
side up to the time of his death. In
1S31, he was elected to the State leg
islature, and again in 1839. Irv 1810
he was elected to Congress, In the
memoriable Harrison campaign. He
served but one term in the Uou3e, de
clining the nomination for re-election
In 1842. In 1854 he was elected to the
U. 8. Senate, and has served as a
member of that body, with the ex
ception of a brief perux during which
he ocbupied the position Of Secretary
of the Treasury in Mr. Lincoln's Cab-
hicet) irom that time until the present.
Mr. Fessenden senerated himself
from the great body of the Republican
party on the question of the Impeach
ment and conviction of Andrew
Johnson, for which he has been se
verely criticised both at home and
abroad. His. action In the matter cre
ated such a prejudice against bim In
his own State that it is questionable
whether he could have been re-elected
to the Senate, notwithstand hi3 ac
knowledged ability. The term for
which he w&3 last chosen would have
expired March 4, 1S78, and an exciting
contest was already in progress as to
his successor. But death, the great
arbiter of mortal events, has suddenly
terminated that contest, so far a3 his
name was connected with it.
It is reported thst Hon. James W.
Grimes, of Iowa, now in Europe, has
written a letter resigning his seat in
the U. 8. Senate, and that the state of
his health will cot permit him to re
turn to this country until next year.

From our Special Correspondent.
Chicago, Sep torr.! :r 1T5, IZZ1.
Nearly every largo city L.i a dIiTT-
cult problem to solve in the 8':pjly cf
water and fuel. The former was speo
ialiy difUcnlt for Chicago, but it w-3
generally supposed the tunnel
the lake had solved It. Tlie tunnel
ha3 a capacity of fifty million rrulcr.3
per day, and the quantity rod h3
increased s'ince its construction, from'
eight million gallons to twenty-four
million gallons per day. In five yexrs
mere tlie tunnel will probably be usci
to It3 full capacity.
The supply of coal has afforded an
opportunity for a largo monoply.
Dealers have combined to placo the
price of anthracite coal at an extrava
gant price. A combination of buyers
has been made by which it Is hoped,
a supply can bo brought here and fur
nished much cheaper than the prices
now demanded. It Is proposed to
send an agent to New York and mk9
the requisite purchase. The attempt
will be made, but it I? feared that,
little good will come of it, iu co il U
now very dear in New York.
Our local elections aro attrr.rtlr.7
an unusual degree of attention. Qu
tion3 of reform, and almost every eth
er subject on which a diillrcnca of
opinion Is possible, will be brought In-'
to the contest. The questions cf pro-,
hibition and Sun.lay Uws p.r? V
principal ones, a they cczivl ta
largest number of supporters.
The National Temperance Conven
tion was held here last weeic, and a
Prohibition Party was formed. Or.a .
great drawback to the success cf thlj-
Erohibiilon movement is the opinion
eld by many temperance men, that
it cannot be carried out. Taken alto
gether our local elections will to
somewhat mixed.
Men having charge cf any putlid
work, wishing to obtain a contract or
advertise a suburband villa, have a
peculiar way of attracting public at
tention, and having the report favor
able. I will give you a sample of
their manner of proceeding. Last
week the contractors who are deepen
ing the Illinois and Michigan Canal,
invited about three hundred promi
nent men to go and see the work. A
canal boat was covered over and fitted
up in a completo manner and placed
in tow of a tug. The best of eatables
and drinkables were provided, to
which justice was done. Tha result
was a' favorable report as to the work
In hand, and the ultimate thorough,
cleansing of the Chicago river.
One of those famous shrubs known
as Century Plants is on exhibition
here for the benefit of the Youn
Mens Christian Association. Thi
one was brought from Rochester, New
York, and but very slight injury in
flicted upon the flowers. The piant
is a great curiosity, and many throng
the Hall to look at it.
As the various departments of busi
ness evince renewed life, the educa
tional institutions are not forgotten.
Students are arriving and prepara
tions are being made for the Winter
course. The West has immense com-,
mercial interests, and every effort
should be made to prepare the rising
generation for comprehending and
managing them. There is no better
medium for bringing about thi3 result
than Bryant's Business Training
School, an institution that thoroughly
prepares it3 students for managing
business for themselves as well as for
making valuable assistants. Thi3 13
juito c. diH'ovout. lTUir from tha mctm.
called commercial colleges. Mr. H.
B. Bryant, the founder of the chain of
colleges, having disposed of his inter
est in all other institutions, has under
taken the task of building up in Chi
cago, a higher class of institutions,
carrying commercial science to a high
er point. Mr. Bryant is the publish
er of the Chicago Courier, a commer
cial paper of great ability, and holding
a prominent position in the scientific
and literary world.
The detectives made quite a haul on
some notorious theives last week, se
curing the perpetrators of a heavy
jewelry robbery in St. Louis. Two
men walked into one of .the banks a
few days ago, and while one drew tho
clerks attention, the other seized a lot
of revenue stamps, but he was caught
almost immediately.
