The vast difference between tho inajoritics of ‘Mancock and Tilden $8 partially accounted for by tho very light vote cast for Cooper in 1876, With all this taken into considoration, ithe figures show Hancock to have been a weak candidate. ——| Tur people of St. Louis, after horote cf- forts and with computations based on the one bellef that thoy could get thore (500,000), will now sond In a: census to Gon.

A NORRIBLE SITUATION, Stenianroy, N. S., Nov, 14.—At10 o’cloalk. last night another explosion occurred, blow- Ing the roof and gear of the fan-shaft, tim: bers, brick, ete,, high into the air. Deseond- ing débris fell on the workshops, which are in the vicinity, and the roofs of the carpenter shopand boller-honso are rlddied with holes, some of them of Jmmenso aize, The noise sof the explosion was heard for two miles, Fortunately no one was injured, though Ross, engineer of the fan engine, and two others working close by with diMculty es- caped tho falling débris. MORE EXPLOSIONS wero expected during the night, but, al- though a cloud of sinoke Issued fromthe fan shaft, nothing more occurred. At 10 o’clock this morning considerable smoke was coming fromm tho shaft, and as the bincksmith-shop, ecarpenter-shop, saw-iill, and machine-shop and foundry, all wooden buildingsoxcept the latter, aro close by, the sorvices of the New Glasgow steam firc-engine wero obtained, to try, if possible, to save these buildings In ease of fire, and also to pour astream of wa- ter Into the burning pit, A large number of people wore standing about the works look- ing on, and tho fremen were engaged getting tho steamer in position, whon, Just at 12:30, N; ANOTHER 1XPLOSION occurred, and an immense yolume of smoke rushed from the fan-shaft high Into the alr, accompanied by sticks, etc, The spectators seattored in all directions, Fortunately no one was hurt, Up to this timo all seemed quiet about the hoisting and pumping shafts, which are 250 yards from the fan-shaft; but at 12:30 another immense volume of dark- colored smoke caine from tho fan-shaft, and also from both the hoisting and pumping shafts, A faw: minutes later the smoke from all the shafts iad ceased, and tho air appeared to bo drawn down, and, as thls sucking In fg THE SYMPTOM OF ANOTHER EXPLOSION, the people ran and’ put themselves into places of safety, Ina few minutes another denser yoluine of smoke came forth, but accompanicd by no uolse., If is fully ex- pected that tho fire, which now must bo immense In the mine, will soon show itself from the mouth of the shaft, when all the bulldings in tho vicinity will be in the greatest danger, Very great fears are on- tertained that tho, whole workings of tho Ford pit WILL BE DESTNOYED, a though efforts are now belng made bya large gangof inen, who are at work: algging a trench, to let into the mine water from the river, which is closo by, This is a last re- sort, and It will take a good while to get suf- ficlent water In to drown tho fire, It Is hoped that tho fire may be confined to the Ford plt, and prevented from oxtending to tho workings of the Ongo nit, situ- ated hialf-n-milo west of tho Ford pit, Tho former is connected with the latter by a tunnel, Should these works be de atroyed, the effects on tho working classes connected with tho mine will be ’ TURRINLE, and great misery must result, Tho amployés of the Company numbor over 600, Other and moro serlous explosions may occur at any tine. ‘I'he greatest excitement oxists, BURIED ALIVE, New York Sun, Nov, & Joseph N, Howell owns 9 farm and a elder mill about a mile and a half southeast of the railroad station at Smithtown, L. Lo Mr, Howell's house and outbuildings are old and altuated Inn dreary sort of place, ‘Thoy aro surrounded by tall, seraggy olm trees that look as If they were dying from Inck of nour- ishmont, in fact, the sol! all about that part of Long Island is composed matnly of amlx- ture of sand and gravel, similar to that of the Hempstead Plalng, which Mr, A, T. Stowart’s money made to blossom ns tho rose, At one corner of Mr, Howell's ricketty old barn was an old well with a dilapidated old curb, A. part of the walling had tumbled fn, and the bottom of the well needed cleaning out. Last Wednesday afternoon two colored nen, George A, Brown and William Helis, set to work toropalr the well. Mr. Howell had harnessed n horse to his gle with the In- tention of starting off onan cighty-milo trip down the Island to take orders for elder vinc- kar, He gave instructions to the colored ion, and then went Into the house to pre- pare hilmself for his four days’ Journey, Brown and Helms wont to work timue- diately, They tooka long rope, innde sev eral loops with one envy fround a pleco o! thubor, and dropped the other end {nto the woll, which waa about twenty-six fect deep. ‘The thmber was placed ucrosd the top of tho curb, and Brown, who was bossing the job, atarted down to explore tho well, after tell- ing Ieling to hold on to the timber aud pre- vent it from rolling around, Brown went down hand over hand, bearing 5 part of his weight on the stones composing the walling of tho well. Ile lind got down'a little more than half Way, when the whole watling of the well suddenly tumbled in, A dense cloud of dust shot up as from the crater of a sinall yoleano, When Helms partly tegalned his senses ho ran as fust as he could in the direction of tho viltuge. He saw several persons on the road, but he sald nothing untif ho camo to a sung -of colored laborers, ‘To these he told what had lisppened, and thoy all started back with him to help dig out the body of the man who had been barlod alive.,, Meanwhile Mr, How- “was c-Heard by the exeltédgrowd, The Chicago Daily 15, ell loft, his house and mounted his aia dust before starting ha notleed that neither of the colored men was to he seen, and he ree inarked to his wife that he “wondered where they hind gone”? Mrs, Howell sald pposed they had gone for some tools, and would probably be back sven, Howell startet off ‘on his Hashty-tntte trip, from wile he did, net return tl Saturday night. Jderemith Arthiy, who lives with Mr. Howell, discovered: that the well had fallen in soon after Mr. Howell left, -but was janorant of the fact that a man had been buried there until) Heims came up with the kane of colored men, ‘Tho colored men set to work deliberately, supposing that after a few hours? labor they would ¢: hue the boty of the unfortitnate Brown, or“ Glager’” as he was ways familiarly called by them, When they hiad been nt work a few lnntes one of them suddenly exclatned, “ark! ‘The work- sponded Phor for a moment, when heard the sound of a voles dlreetly une der their feet, erylng “Help, help!” and “0, God, save mel” “After this the ‘men went to work with redoubled energy, bub at length, after laying hoisted out many tons of earth and) stones, the foundation “on which they stood began to settle. ‘This put thom in a quandary. ‘They saw that If they continued to work on the surface the, stones and sand would settle down and sinather the man,who wag wll the tie erying for help, ‘The news that a mien was buried alive in Joo Howells well spread allover Smith- town, and by nightfall 0 large crowd had gathered about the living tomb. As it grew dark, linterns and torches tyhich had reeent- ly been used in Hancock and Garfield torehlight. processions were brought Into service, After tho discovery that Brown Was alive only one mith was allawed in the well at a tine, and, tho work of ex- cavation wags necessarily ‘very slow, At about 11 o'clock at nightythe question of sinking w new well close beslde the old one was discussed, 2s be! best way of xet- tlog the man out alive, John Nathe, v Ger- man, of Hoppoane, offered }to undertake the Job, and atunldnight it wag begun, A holo about four feet square was opened three feet from the side of the old well, Mr. Jlowell’s hired nan, dames ‘Turney, harnessed av pair of horses and drove off fi seareh of Juniber with which to make a cnsing for the new well, ng such casing was needed to prevent the trencherous sand and gravel from falling In. As soon us the Jumber arrived a number of carpenters set to work*to make a box about fourteen feet longand four feet square, The new well was sunk as rapidly as possi- ble, and slowly the wooden, casing was Jet down to prevent the sides of the excavation from falling in, " It took til! 8 o'clock Thursday afternoon tosink the new well twenty-two fect. At nbott 10.0. m. of that day Brown’s voive was hushed, nnd everybody supposed him to be dead. Having reached a depth of twenty- two feet, the workmen tunneled through {nto the old tvell, and wero gurpriset to tind itempty. A torch was taken down, aud crawling through tho tunnel, they shouted to the burled man. No response came. ‘Then, Jooking into the dark cavern, they saw that the well was open up to within about fifteen feet of the surface of the ground: There it was clogged by the wedging of three or four litge boulders from the side of the old well, ‘Then the men ascended tl they reached the level of: those boulders, and there nade au other tunnel. As they reached the oll well and began to pullout the earth and stones thoy agnin heard Brown’s yoice. ‘Lo under- ming tin would send him to the bottom of the well,’which would be certain death. So the worlcawvas suspended, Thursday passed, and Friday night came. Nobody know what to do. “Chere was a stone arch under the buried inan which pre- vented him from falilng. to the bottom of the well, and another stone arch over his hend that prevented him ‘from being crushed. A Breat crowd had gathered.at the place, and it beeaine necessary to put upa rough rail- Ing around the well to’ keep thei back, ‘Fifty burning torches lent a ghostly appear- uned to the scene, aud new and then the sound of the man’s voice appealing for help Nobai dared to go down into the old well, as It Nie feared al each removal of «a baskettul of varth that the arch might cave in. At lenath two or threo inen voluntecred to undertake the work, no matter what the consequences, Only one at a tha descended hito the well, Tons upon tons of earth and rock wero raised, and by 8 o'clock on Friday morning Brown's voice could he distinctly heard. Ho sald that the sand was fast filling in about linn, that It was nearly up to the fovel of his mouth, and that if he was not out inside of twenty minutes he would be suffocated, He had. then been in his Hving tomb about thirty-five hours. The workmen kept on, At last they eama down to the Inrge stones that formed the up- per areh, | ‘hey were then able to-converso easily with the entombed man, who begged for water, A rubber hose was filled with water, and oneend was tet dawn to hin, Brown took three swallows, and then the hose was pilledont. Afterabout two hours’ inere work his head was got frea and above ground. ‘Then he was given brandy and beef- tea, Ahard job was still before the work- men,—much harder, in fact, than they ex- pected, After gettlng Brown’s body uncoy- ered It was found that one of his feet was so wedged in between tho stones composing the lower arch that it seemed inipossibte to get it out. Hours were spent in futile attempts to free the entrapped foot, and it was sugeust- ed that the only way to get the man outand save his tte was to get a surgeon to mMnpu- tate the ankle, But by constant work the Himb was extrieated, and at ten minutes past Ton erly moralng Brown was hoisted out and Innded safely ou the ground, He had no broken bones, but ho was very badly briised. Ho was completely exhaust- ed, and falnted while belug taken Into Mr lowell's house. “Io had been buried tn: the well thirty-nine hours,—two nights and one ay. Yesterday Brown was at his homo, a quar- terof amilo from the Simithtown rallroad station, THawas attended by kind relations, Ile sutd that during the whole tle of his in- terment he had nu hope of ever being taken ontolive. Ite said Uhat when he went down into the well he saw that a part of the wall- ing had fallen in, teaying an opening about two feet sanare. Concluding that it was not safe to work In tho well mntil that was tilled Ta, he nevertheless decided to deseond to the bottom and see whit was needed to be done down there, On asconding, one of his feet happened to touch the wall whero it was damaxed, and dinmediately the whole thing tumbled In, ‘The large stones wedged ane formed two arches, ong above and one below hin. He heard the workmen ns soot os they began to dig on top. He shouted for about two hours, then lost his voles, and had to keep silent, ‘Two or three thines he was un- consclous, but whether from exhaustlon or from anatural desire for sleep he did not know, Brown sald he liad no hope of ever foiting out ative until he felt some one take hold of his hand. As soon as possible a rope was fastened about his waist, so that all danger of his falling to the bottom of the well yas obviated. When his’ head was partly free he uictated a message to his mother an gnothor to his sweethourt, Brown is still prostrated, but is raplily recovering, z Dofoat of the Pross. ‘Tho preas has suffered a sigual defeat at tho hands of tho municipal authorities of Newburn, Jn Montgomerysbiro, Englund, The clerk of tho Local Board buying Weltten to tho Chief Cun- biublv OF te vauuty donying the wecuruoy of ourtuln newspaper reports of cortuin spesches rolicoting upon the couduet of tha police, the Teportors truversost this stutument with [hu ws: sortlon that tholraccountson what had takon ince at tha Hound wore entirely correct, Hay- nig a Very buzy revollection of what had really been sald, tho memoers held av formal inquiry reapeuting tho disputed spocches, One of tho reporters proposed to put the muttor beyond ull rongonablo doubt by submitting his notes ta “any number of competent shorthand writers," and to mako 4 aworn deposition of tholr ucents racy. ‘This olfor was not deemed antisfactory, A plot betweon the Jocal reporters and the “competent shorthand writers” was suspucted, ¢ and tho members Tognlvod tg exanine who notes for thomselyos, ‘Tha not nob belug at hand, ono of the members suguestxl that epoct- mens would unswor tho purposs.

Cruvetann, O., Nov. 1i.—It Js sald hero that Gov. Foster ts working his cards very keenly as regurds tho United Stutes Senatorship. Every member of tho Legisiature who has been aided by Foster in any way in procuring Jegislative honors, and these sro many, knows that tho Governor is a candidate for the Senntorahip, and gencrally fcels. a personal indebtedness toe ward bis benefactor. Without in nny degree oyerstepping tho bounds of political propriety, Foster and his henchmen are taking advantage of this, Sceretary Sherman can boast of com- paratively Lew vory intimate friends in Objo, except ut his own home and vicinity, for it must bo remembered be has Mved in this State but lttle for many yeurs, and that when here bis faculty of making friends was not tke that of Fostor. If tha Secretary attempts to have a direct tussle with tho Governor, It may go bard with Sherman, unless ho isabte to convince the members of tho Legislature that they owe bin tho same fealty which Ohfo manifoated toward him iu the Chicugo Convention, and that is hardly provable. If olther ja te have a Cabluet Appointment undor Gartiold, it would be a good iden for the peace of mind,of Secretary Sherman that it be burried up.
