OLIVER DYER, JR., a student at Yala col- lege, New Haven, and son of a well-known New YorK journalist, died from the effects of injuries received while engaged in a boxing match with Robert B. Williams, a colored student from Augusta, Ga. The two young men were sparring in a friendly match at the college gymnasium. Mr. Dyer attributes his son's death to apoplexy, and not to injuries received while sparring. AT the thirty-second annual commencement of the Women's Medical college of Pennsyl- vania, held in Philadelphia, twenty-six young women received diplomas to practice as physicians. 'WITNESSES testified in New York city before the State senate committee on public health, that the sale of oleomargarine and butterine was killing the butter trade, and that these articles were injurious to health.

SPEAKER CARLISLE, of the House of Rep- resentatives, United States Senator Vance, of North Carolina, Congressman Belmont and others made speeches at the sixth an- nual dinner of the New Yotk Free Trade club. , - WICKER & WEAR, Weed's Bloch, - - Ticonderoga, SEALERS IN GENERAL THE strike at the Montour Iron and Steel mill, Danville, Penn., inaugurated Januarj' 1, has assumed serioua proportions. Five hundred men are out of employment and destitution prevails in a Jarge number of families. The wife of one of the laboring men fell s ; ck, and failing to got proper nour- ishment, died in absolute penury. Two three-year old Holstein heifers, Ja- maica and Etelka, owned by John Mitchell, a farmer near Newbur^, N. Y., have shown themselves the greatest milk producers in the world. Jama'ca recently pr^uced 112X pounds of milk in one day, and Etelka 101 pounds. During thirty-one days the former gave 6,836% pounds, and the latter 5,486 pounds ten ounces, beating all records to roadi declaring the charges against Repre- tentative Ellis in connection with certain ttar route contracts to beutterly groundless. THI Jeannette expedition to the Arctic regions cost the government, in one' way or another, about $275,000. CONGRESSMAN HATCH, of Missouri,, re- ceived a telegram stating that the foot and mouth disease had broken out among cattle in the northeastern part of that State. ADVICES from Canton report that the Cni- nese preparations for war with France are mcreasing r and all signs indicate a prolonged contest. A BERLIN newsDaper attributes the excite- ment over the Lasker incident to the corre- spondent of the London Times which, it says, wants to stir up strife between Germany and America. PORT SPAIN, Trinidad, has been almost entirely swept away by fire. The loss is estimated at more than #400,000. ANOTHER explosion of dynamite has oc- curred in London—this time at a suburban hotel. One man was blown to pieces. BISMARCK, the German chancellor, ap- peared in the reichstag at Berlin and made a speech in justification of the cour.se he had pursued in refusing to transmit the Lasker resolution to- the reichstag. He said that he had recognized the good intentions of the American Congress, but he was unable to harness himself to the car of the opposition. The relations between Germauy and the United States had always been pleasant, he said, and the German government had al- ways tried to cultivate them. He declared that he would have presented the Lasker resolutions had he not been prevented by their form. The resolu- tions contained a clause directed against the colicy which, in the emperor's name, he had been pursuing aud which Herr Lasker had opposed for years. Once Bismarclc was interrupted by cries of \Shame!\ from the opposition members o£ the reichstag, and quite a scene ensued. The appearance of Prince Bismarck in the reichsta? is generally attributed to his desire to maintain friend- ship with America. ADVICES from the Congo river, in Africa, report that Henry M. Stanley has discovered another affluent of the Congo. The Arabs, in a recent slave raid, captured 1,800 children. The natives recently attacked the European factories on the Lower Congo, plundered car- avans, and killed several Europeans. MR.

The mob afterward attacked and wrecked the chairman's house. FRENCH troops have captured the town of Bacninh in Tonquin. A BERLIN dispatch says that trichinosis, engendered by eating Oerman-bred pork, and d«e in no wise to the American product, is ravazing various parts of Grermauy. GREAT excitement existed at Ottawa, On- tario, owing to a report that the government had received important information of a con spiracy to blow up public buildings with dy- namite.

Many Miners Suddenly Hurrfed to §n Awful Death, Particulars of the terrible explosion in * coal mine at Tazewell, Va., are harrowing in the extreme. The mine in which the ex- plosion occurred is situated at the base of the Plat Top mountains, which divide Vir§ ginia from West Virginia. Accounts of the disaster, made up from various sourcw, are as follows-. Shortly after midnight* terrific explosion alarmed the residents of Pocahontas. Ta Be- well county, Va., and soon thereafter a seen© of the most intense excitement en- f\ 6 ^-. Men, women and children arose from their beds and rushed out into the open air i? the K aighfr-dreaeft The streets were thronged, and all were at a loss to determine what liad happened. It was not long before the truth was known, and then the excited Growd rushed toward the principal coal mine in the southern suburb. Upon arriving there, a dense volume of smoke was found pouring forth from the shaft of the mine. Scattered around within a radius of a Quarter of a mile were broken timbers and broken mining machinery of every descrip- tion. Upon every side lay fragments of human bodies, some of which were lodged 1 upon the top of sheds and in the branches ot adjoining trees. The shrieks of the women and children filled the air, and added more horror to the scene. Everybody appeared paralyzed at the spec- tacle, and it was borne time before the bravest ot the men present realized the extent of the disaster, and be-an to take steps to ascertain the extent of the damage. After two hours had elapsed and nothing accomplished by the panic-stricken crowd, a man with a ghastly white face mounted the debris and cried out: \ For Uod's sake, men. let's stop this. We all have friends and relatives down below» and maybe we can help them.\ \Let us see what we can do,\ he added: 'and let the women folks do the crying.* Lvery one of the officials of the camp were below, besides one hundred and fifty labor be four delegates from each congressional spite of his natural wish to retire early and der with a half pound of salt pork; sea- district, four fro;n each Territory and four seek repose, the a?ei poet, surrounded by the ••, , , from the District of Columbia. members of his family, had a kind word for so n Wlt h sal t and pepper: remove to a LATER reports put the number of lives lost every one wh) bad by the explosion in tae F ocahontas (.Va. him. _____ mine at 112. suitable for la<Jjr Si V EL IX I orient. * worth of useful and beautiful premiums actually i?r \eefc.

HEXBY WATTERSON, ot' the Louisville Courier-Journal, appeared before the con- gressional joint committee on the library and made a long argument in favor of the bill granting newspapers a copyright of ei?ht hours on their news. Mr. Watterson said that there had been a great deal of misapprehen- sion in regard to tbis bill; that it was hot di- rected asainst the country press at all, but against daily papers and certain concerns which appropriate the valuable news of other papers in their vicinity, and by hur- riedly getting out such new-s or furnishing plates of the same defeat legitimate enter- prise.

Avhile hot dressed with cream and sutrai or butter and sugar, seasoned to taste. ers. there was no one to lead the rescuing party, aud it was with the utmost difficulty that volunteers could be induced to go near the mouth of the mine. The leader again addressed the men present, and then,, throw- ing a blanket around his head, made an effort to ascertain if it was possible to enter the mine. He soon returned, and announced that all attempt at a rescuo of the poor creatures who were entombsd was useless. A dense volume of name then began pour- ing out of the mouth of the mine, and illu- minated the country for miles around ;i crowds of people collected in groups of a half dozen or more,\ discussed the terrible situation, and lamented the death of either father, brother, or husband. When it be- came evident that nothing could be done before daybreak, every endeavor was made by the men to quiet the women, one of whom in her frenzy tore the hair from out of her head by the handful and cried out: \Oh my poor husband! He is burned to death 1 . Won't some oue help him?\ When day dawned the horror became ap- parent. The men were by this time more composed and tho women in a measure quiet- ed. The latter began to gather up the frag- ments of the bodies of the unfortunate miners who had been working near the shaft at the time of the accident and were blown upward out of the mine. Every one of the fifty men at this time was overcome with the horrible conviction, doubtless true, that every miner was dead, from the shock of explosion, of subsequent suffocation. The superintendent repaired to the mines at onca and the scene presented to his view was indescribable. Words, he said, could no: convey th*> faintest idea of the destruc- tion that was wrought in a few short sec- onds. Signs of it were visible on every hand. The entrance to the main shaft was entirely, torn out and scattered pell-mell for hun- dreds of ieet. Tho little train track was torn and twisted and shapeless timber and ties mixed in confusion all around. The cars were taken up bodily and torn iu part and their iron wheels were shivered. They were thrown three and four hundred feet? away. The searching party found a pair of shoes that had been blown ti the summit of the ridge, and a mule was found at the same place twisted into an indescribable shape. The second entrance to the mine presented a similar appearance to the first. At the entrance of the fan tunnel stood the company's large ventilator, which, with the house around it, was swept entirely away, leaving the engine standing on the founda- tion shattered and, broken, with the pipes twisted and forced. As indicated, the force of the explosion was terrific. Rocks were throw.i through the workshops, and every object that f-tood in the direct course of the forced air was demolished. Several work- men in the shops were severely injured. The shops as well as the locomotive house were levelled with the ground. Of the one hun- drud and fifty men who were in tne mine at the time of the explosion not one re- turned to the surface to tell the fate of his companions. Parties Tho ventured into the mines the next morning discovered several mangled bodies, one of which was identified as that of M. L. Hampton, niiht foreman, who leaves a wife and large family. About thirty-five Hungarians are amoug the victims. The others are colored men and white miners from Virginia and Pennsylva- nia. Tne accident was said to have been caused by the men going too far into the mines with their lamps. A relief train with physicians aad a force of workmen on board went to the scene of the accident from Pe- tersburg. AFFRAY IN A THEATER Two Men Killed and One fatal IF Wounded in Texan. Ben Thompson and King Fisher shut each other dead in the Vaudeville theatre at San Antonio, Texas. Joe Foster, who attempted to (luiet the combatants, was probably fa- tally wourid»?d.
