THE FKIZE RING.
Muldoon Hays John L. Is Now
Easy to Whip.
San Francisco. Jan. 27. Wil
liam Muldoon. the champion
wrestler, arrived last night in ad
vance of Jake Kilrain, whom he is
to train for his contest with
George Godfrey. Muldoon ex
pressed the greatest confidence in
Kilrain's ability to defeat Godfrey,
whom he sizes up bv his perform
ance with Ed Smith, of Denver,
whom Muldoon trained for the
occasion. Smith he considers a
Man gaited only to go a certain
distance, which he can do well ;
but beyond that limit he thinks
Smith is lacking in that indomi
table courage that carries a man
to success in the face of obstacles.
Muldoon considers that Sullivan's
days are at an end, and that
either Corbett, Slavin or Jackson
could whip him if the contest
lasted over two rounds, and was
fairly rapid.

TERRIBLE DOOM.
Over One Hundred Miners Meet
Their Death.
AN A1TAI.L1.NU UHASTKli.
iifty Dead Bodies Recovered Ot'aer
Boned In the Shaft-The Minos Still
Earning-8cenes cf Horror.
Scottdale, Penn., Jan. 27. By
an explosion ot lire damp m the
Mammoth shaft of the II. C.
Fricke Coke company to-dav.
eighty sturdy miners were ushered
into eternity and a imiulier sen
cusly injured. The explosion oe
curred this morning shortly after
nine o clock and it is supposed
was tlift result of the ignition of a
miner's oil lamp, 'l he lite damp
which followed the explosion sul
focated nearly every workman. A
few men, realizing the awful situa
tion, fell to the ground, thereby
preventing the gas from striking
them. 1 he prisons not killed are
in such a critical condition that
their deaths are momentarily ex
pected. Up to this writing tiftv
bodies have been recovered, all
without a sign ol life.
The lire which broke out after
the explosion was soon extin
guished by the immense fans,
w hich were put in operation. The
gas has all been driven from the
pit and the work of rescuing the
entomlied miners commenced.
The Mammoth plant embraces 50V
ovens, one of the largest plants in
the coke region, but it is hard ol
access, it is bituated near the
United Works, where an explosion
recentlv destroved the shaft.
Ttie aliair has cast a gloom ovei
the entire coke region, and to
night hundreds of miners arc
Mocking to the scene of the disas
ter, ottering assistance. The ap
palling loss ol life in the Dunb.tr
disaster is more than overshad
owed bv the destruction of life in
the Mammoth calamity. The
news spread throughout the entire
coke region with great rapidity,
and everybody is avestricken.
Collins have already been ordered
Cor eighty persons from .Mount
Pleasant undertakers. Xoone es
caped from the mine in a condition
to tell the storv ol ttie awlul disas
ter.
It is estimated that sixty wives
and families are left wholly do
pendent upon the charity of the
world I-r butenar.ce by tnis dis
aster. In fact, thev are almost
penniless, as the plant h is not
been running full for some time,
and work has been exceedingly
scarce. Everything possible will
be done to supply the widowed
mothers and children with the
necessaries of life.
The Fricke company wiil act
liberally in this direction. Mas
ter Workman Peter Wise has sent
an appeal for aid to the miiier
and cokers of the region.
Later At midnight it is stateit
that 110 men were killed in the
explosion, and sixty liodies have
been taken out so far. lhe nv.n
is again on fire, and it is feared al;
the other Ixxlies will be cremated.
This evening a partial story oi
the disaster is obtained. An un
expected How of gas was struck
and the miners are working in tin-
headings connected with the fiats
3 and 4 were all killed. Jthe
fire boss, as is his duty, had been
in the mine and examined the
working places. His mangled tody
lies at the morgue. ! The only evi
dence that he attended to his
duties are the regular certificates
of inspection received from him
this morning which guaranteed
the mines to be safe. The miners
knew these certificates had been
filled out and went to work. They
never returned.
Superintendent Keighly was at
the mine when the explosion took
place. He immediately called for
volunteers and gathering a few
about him descended the shaft.
When the volunteers entered the
mine a iiornhie sight met them.
Bank cars, mules, and more terri
ble than all. men were
piled in a compact mass
against the walls of coal, and not
a living thing was in the wre k
age. So terrific was the force of
the explosion that this obstruction
was removed with difficulty and
they entered the chamber of hor
rors. The first object they dis
covered alter leaving tne main
entry was a gum hoot. In it. was
the leg of a man. farther on they
found a human head, but now here
in sight was the trunk that had
borne it, but a lew minutes alter
walking a distance surrounded by
dangers unseen, they found the
trunk; the ragged neck, with
blood oozing from it, told the story
of the appalling disaster. Work
ing their way in, they found the
boilies strewn along the gangway.
One unfortunate met death
while on his knees in prayer, with
his hands clasped and eyes up
lifted. His body was found in
this position.
Women, children and relatives
and friends of the unfortunate vic
tims rushed to the mouth of the
jit, shrieking and sobbing. Fol
owing them came the physicians
and undertakers. The services of
physicians were little needed, for
every man in the headings w here
the explosion occurred, was killed.
None were injured, and dead
bodies were brought up every few
minutes.

reply to the application of
thw
Canadian government for a writof
prohibition in the case of W . 1

trict court of Alaska in this case
for the following reasons: First
that the supreme court has no

STAXFOUD'S NARROW KSCAl'K
Ue Met With a Serloos Accident
In New Tort City,
New York, Jan. 27. Senator
Leland Stanford, of California.
came near losing his life yester
day. About 10 o clock lie and bis
private secretary, John B. McAr
ihur. took a cab at the Windsor
hotel, and started lor the Ameri
can Institute to look over his great
consignment of trotters from Palo
Alto, that were to be Bold by auc
tion. In Fifty-ninth street the
cab came in collision with a street
car moving in the opposite direc
tion, ana was turned bottom up
wards. The senator and Mr.
.Mc Arthur stood on their beads for
an instant, and then found them
selves doubled up in the roof of
the vehicle. Stanford was bleed
ing profusely from a cut in his left
temple, and his right arm and
shoulder were much bruised. Mc-
Arthur's nose was cut. and the
blood was dripping from a ekin
wound in the forehead.
The two men crawled out more
dead than alive. At 7 :30 the een-
ator went to bed, badly shaken up,
but suffering less pain. He re
turned to Washington on the 9
o'clock train this morninz. as he
had a dinner engagement with the
president.
if Stanford had been at the cap
itol yesterday the vote on Aid
rich's cloture resolution might
have resulted differently.. His
vote, if cast in favor of it, would
have ma le a tie, in which case
