hees, on his return to tho capital from the Nutt trial, said in reply to a question as to what ho thought of Payne's spetch at tho Ohio banquet: "I read it. I was in tho midst of tho preparation of my argument when a Pittsburg pa|»or was handed mo containing it. I seldom read speeches. I did read this. Lot mo toll you this—it is the host sjieech which has been delivered by any public man for u quarter of a century. I felt so good af ter reading'it that I sent a telegram to Mr. Payne, at Cleveland, telling him 1 indorsed every word of it. The speech is a platform. It is a bravo speech, and a timely ono as well. His allusion to the civil service sham was most propitious. I believe with him tha t 'you cannot clean tho Augean stable with a tooth-brush.' How sententious and bravo tho speech! I t covers every vital issue before tho people, and deals with them in a broad spirit of statesmanship rather than hypoc-risy. As I said before, it is the 1)0.4 speech which had been delivered by any pub-lic man for more than a quarter of a cen-tury. I do not know Mr. Payne intimately, but I foel so toward him that i know 1 shall , enjoy a better acquaintanco with him. I wish ho were ten years younger. There Is timber in such a man for the highest olllce iu the gift of the people."

CitlCAOO, Jan. 2.'.—An American PIVM special from Denver, Col., says: An explosion in the mine at Crested Butte occurred in e.t'aer chiunb ir one or two just half nn hour afte; the i.nv force of sixtv-s.'ven men had gone to w< rk. There were fifty-seven men at work in these chambers, and all doubtless i crished. Ten men were in chamber four, and they nil escanod except John Angns, who was caught by tlio exploding damp in the narrow passage, and imdly burned. His re-covery Ls doubtful. The explosion was of •..uch force as to block up the main entry, and alKiiit twenty-live feet of the roof of tho tramway in front of tho main cntranco was blown down.

Tho employes of the anthracite mesa niine, the night force of tho Colorado company and citiz.'iis generally have l)cen at work hard all day to rescue tho victims—although it is thought none can escape alive. Tho fan was repaired nnd put in working order pumping air into the mine. The rescuers went to work with a will removing the obstructions, and it is hojied somo bodies may lie recovered before morning.

DENVER, Col., Jan . 29.—More burned bo lies have been recovered from tho Crested Butte mine, making fifty-seven in all. All were found in chamber No. 'J and in tho passage-way in tho hnmodlate vicinity. Many have their a rms and legs broken, their skalls crushed in, and their cloth-ing burned in many cases. Tho hair is burned is from their heads, and all tho skin is burned oil their faces and other exposed por-tions of the body, leaving an utterly unrecog-nizable mass of raw nnd bleeding fiesk Tiie appearance of these bodies is horrible beyond description, and it is not likely tha t any of them can be recognizcd. Many of tho face? have coal dust ground into them until they aro black as tho coal itself.

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Jan. 27.—Firecaught in tho basement of tho state penitentiary at Stillwater at ll:4."> Friday night. It was first discovered by a pedestrian, who failed to at-tract the attention of the guards, and whe ran dow n town and turned in an alarm Tho fire caught under the main ofiicc of tho car company. When tho do-partnu'iit a r r ive! it was impossible to do any olTectivo work, on account of tLe dense smolce. At 1 o'clock it b 'came evident that the prison iu rear of tho offices was doomed, and company K of tho state militis was called to assist in removing tho convicts. There were about lfi!0 of the prisoners in ail, shackled together by means of long, flm chains, and they wore removed to differenl points of tho prison grounds.

Tho lire spread with remarkable rapidity, and, starting at the east of the prison, soot reached tho warden's office and rooms occu-pied by tho guards. I t then spread to the offices of the Northwestern Car company, tlx entire front part of the building being a mas! of flames. From tho oflice of the car com-pany the fire spread to tho kitchen and ea t iug-room of tho prison adjoining, in whicl Ls fituated tho chapel. All tho abovi named departments were gutted. The fron' part, of the building where the fire started w«« comnosod of considerable wood-work winch afforded means of transmitting tin flames to the cell department of the prison whicu was capped by a wooden cornice The calls proper were tire-proof, and had i' no: beea for the difliculty alluded to the fin could have been contlned to the front 01 cilice part of tho building.

The convicts were transferred with litth trouble, and ore now under guard. How tb« fire started is unkn >wu. The loss is about $50,000, all owned by the "state, and partiall j covered by insurance.

ST. PAUL, Minn., Jan . 28.—Losses at tin Stillwater tiro have been grossly exaggeratec in some dispatches. The cells and walls ol the penitentiary are intact, and tho total loss to the state will not exceed $20,000, on whicl there is insurance of $12,o00. The car com pany lose in office fixtiues $20,000 to $30,-

at the same royalty as tho Chicago Galvan-ized Wire Fence company, but tha t com-pany contended tha t by reason of other pnjiers ex.cuted ut the mine time Haish really was granted a license of I,'XK) tons per annum free from any royalty. Jud^e Gard-ner so held and granted the complainants a decree.

The supremo court on tho app -al of the Washburn i*!; Moen company has just filed an opinion in which it substantially sustains the decrea of Judge Gardner. They hold tha t the decree for tho repayment of tho royalties up to the time of tho hear-ing of the suit is correct, iaas-much as Haish had not manufact-ured more than 4,000 tons per annum. That in case Haish should in future manufacture more than 4,000 tons per annum tho deeree should lie modified so that tho Galvani/. d Wire Fence company should pay the f a x o average rate of royalty as Haish.

The purpose of these changes is t( strengthen President Arthur in his contest for the presidential nomination. M. S Quay and C. L. Magee, who, in tho absence of Senator Camtron, are the recognizee party leaders, are tho movers In this en-terprise. They are anxious to send 1 delegation to this state favorable t< Arthur, and as tho early date of tho con vention, April 10, will give great signiflcance to such a move, tho president shares the anxiety. They assure him that tho purpose ran lie made successful only by tho removai of Brewster and tho appointment os a Penn sylvanian to succeed Folger, and have assur imca that such chaugos will bo made at at early date.

Socouuo, N. M., Jan. 24.—Joel Fowler a notorious Socorro desperado, was taker from jail iu spito of frantic appeals foi mercy and cries for help, and dragged to a neighliormg tree, where ho was hanged. Tlu crime for which ho. was hung was tho murdoi of a man named James E. Cole. Some time in Novemlier Fowler, with a number ol drunken companions, took possession of the town, marched through tho streets firing intl windows, and making tho citizens dance and sing at the mouth of revolvers. Cole inter fered to prevent bloodshed, but was stabbed to death by Fowler, who was arrested and found guilty and sentenced to haug ou tho 4th Inst. Au appeal was taken and the case was adjourned to tho next term. Cole is said to lie his seventh victim. Fowler was worth f 100,000, and would use his wealth to purchase witnesses, as ho had done in the other cases. Having good reasons to believe that the law's delay would result in his final release, tho citizens took its execution iatc their own hands.
