Tiii.ty-V-.vo Men EntomM in a Coal Mine Saved by a Ertnjiate Circum- sVee. Scranton, Pa., De"c. 5. Thirty two men employed atthoNayaug colliery, in Dunmore, wore en tombed by a cave in this morn ing, but thanks to a simply for tunate circumstance a terrible disaster was' avoided. The men weraatwork aloatl,000fe3t from the bottom of the slope and 400 feet below the surface when two acres of the roof between them and the slope- came down with a terriiic crash,' crushing the pil lars beneath it and causing rush of ail that almost blew the men from their feet and hurled the roof off the fan house. Eyrhei-r lamps were extinguish ed, but the air was still pure and they relighted them. The crack ing of the pillars in their vicinity told them the cave-in was extend ing towards them and that they must soon find a way out or be caught and killed like rats, in a trap. Foreman John Gibbons bade them keep cool. Crawling on his hands and knees over the fallen roof and sometimes squirming through crevices that barely admitted his body he made his way to within 1 5 feet of the air way which led to the second opening and which it was pre sumed was not affected by the fall, as it is a narrow passage through the solid rock. Return ing for the men he had them take their tools and follow him. After a difficult and dangerous journey they reached the point where the full blocked their way. This was attacked .with bars, picks and shovels and after an hour's work a passage wds clear ed to the air-way, which, as they had counted upon, was open. As fast as they could run they made their way to the second opening and thence to the surface, whero they were greeted with wild hur rahs from the thousands who had gathered expecting to see them brought out crushed and mangled corpses if they were brou&ht out at all. Has Never Changed Homes. There are many things to en- age the cogitations of the mind of man but man is equal to every phase of diversified thought. A fw days ago Messrs Chas. Mc Donald, John Moore and D A 0aldvnell meUrti the sidewalk and tyitting their heads together ar rived at tho conclusion that ofir fbwrfsman, Mr. G r Brown, is the oifly man in Concord oar 40 ycrs oh? who has not departed j I'roffi the home of his birth to' live and prosecute the avocations of life. Mr. Brown went to the war but .this does not apply as he never relinquished the place! wnere he jirst saw the light asftmTWoved . J. WDavidson.

E. church South assembled at New Hern on the 5th instant. A special to the Raleigh. MorningPost contains the following: "An interesting and to many unexpected, event followed. This was contained in a resolution by Dr. E A Yates as follows : ' 'Whereas certain events hav ing recently transpired touching the moral integrity of Dr. J C Kilgo, president of Trinity Col lege, W R Odell, moinbor of the M. E. church South in Concord, and B N Duke, of Main Street Methodist church, Durhamjthere- iore 'Resolved, That this. confer ence has unabated confidence in the said J C Kilgo, W R Odell and B N Duke, and assures theso brethren that it shall bo the" pleasure and duty of this confer ence to aid them in overcoming, in the name of our Lord, the ef forts being made to destroy our college and dnmr.go tho influence of the Methodist church in North Carolina. " 'Resolved, That in our judg ment the church .will be more united than ever in her prayer and effort and purpose to sustain the college with its ablo presi dent and faculty, "and we hereby offer the Messrs. Duke, the most generous benefactors of the col lege, our sincere thanks for their support of the institutions. Sigued. 'E. A. Yates, J. B. Hurley."' "The resolution was put and adopted by a rising vote. It was unanimously adopted by all the members rising to their feet." Looks Like xigrecment. An important dispatch of the 5th comes from Washington rel ative to the Chinese situation as follows: ''The State department has been informed that the foreign ministers at Pekin yesterday reached an agreement which was submitted to the home offices. Secretary Hay today cabled Mr. Conger authorization to sign the agreement on behalf of the United States government. It is difficult to gather details of the understanding at this time. However, it is known that in the two important issues that wrere still open, namely, those relating to punishments and in demnity the views of the United States government have pre vailed. As to punishments they are to be the severest that can be inflicted by the Chfneso gov ernment. As to. indemnity the Chin?se government is to for mally adnfi cits liability and then tRe matter is to be left for future negotiation. It was understood that on the other points the French proposition has formed the basis of the agreement." Avoid nil (frying iuhalants and use that which clonneos and hsals yie mem brane.

S David Stokes, -a prominent young lawyer, in which the clergyman was killed and the lawyer was very severely if not fatally wounded. It seems the clergyman's family was away and a Mrs. LeVine was keeping house for him. The 'day was delightful weather and Mrs. Levine was in the doorway. Stqkes in passing stopped at the gate and was talking with her when the minister was displeased and mado some remarks which caused a quarrell between the men. Quickly ' they stepped back .and a shot rang out from the preacher's pistol downing tho lawyer who raised enough to draw bis pistol. Two simultaneous shots were heard. People rushed to the sceno to find tho preacher dead, the lawyer dangerously wounded and the woman lying in the hall as if dead but fo and to have only faintod. Stokes is too feeble to make much of a statement. ' Both men are prominently known.1 " '. 80 Uoxers Executed. Berlin,' Doc. 5. The Chinese minister hero has handed the Foreign Office officials a tele gram from Li Hung Chang to tho effect that Shih Ling, the new governor of Shan Si, has public ly executed upwards of 80 rebel leaders and asserting that he is otherwise acting with Iho great est severity in the suppression of the Boxers and energetically protecting the missionaries.
