Henry Burns Recovered From
the Kansas Horror.
TBLEE DAYS AND NIGHTS OF
DELIRIUM.
Progress of the Search and Investigations
—Forty Dead I todies Taken from
the Wreck—Sad Scenes of
Monday at the Mine.
Pittsburg, Kaa.Nov. 13.—Tlie search¬
ing parties at the Frontenac mine have
worked without cessation from Satur¬
day until Tuesday morning, but only
four additional bodies hav e been taken
oat. The most astounding escape re¬
corded during the whole history of the
disaster was made yesterday. It amount¬
ed to almost a miracle, and the lucky
fellow taken from the grave itself was
surrounded by a curious and almost in¬
credulous crowd all the morning. At 5
o’clock the relief squad working at the
foot of the main shaft were astounded
to see an apparition approaching them.
It was not one of their party, and they
did not believe that there was a living
man in the mint s besides the rescuers.
Their surprise can therefore be imagined
when the mysterious visitor staggered
up to them, dimly outlined by the uncer¬
tain light of their lamps, and greeted
them with:
“Here, fellows, let me have alight.'
It was Henry Bums, who had for
thirty-six hours been counted among the
lost. He was quickly taken to the sur¬
face, and there told the story of one of
the most record. remarkable He escapes’from slightly delirious, death
on was
but there was considerable coherency in
his account.
He related his story as follows: “I was
working in the first room, first north
entry, east side, when there was a nfar
and a shock. I at first thought I had
been asleep, 1 and in fact I was so bewild¬
ered tiiat did not know whether I was
ia this world or the next. Managing to
to make a light with my only remaining
match, I found that my watch had

(lay or it was morning or
evening. I was suffering internal agonies
from inhaling the after-damp, but was
otherwise unhurt, and proceeded to make
my way to the foot of the shaft. I do
not know how long the journey lasted.
After being removed to the open air I
became more n -rvous and delirious, and
could not be made to understand jlie full
significance of what I had undergone.”
Burns could not realize that two nights
and a day had passed since he lost con
•ciousness, and insisted that people It were

page to the expression of opinions of
prominent men upon the question of ex¬
tending the term of office of president of
the United States to seven or eight
years, It is claimed that the shrinkage
in the internal commerce and business
of the country during the past four
months, traceable to apprehension, ex¬
citement and other conditions dependent
upon the presidential campaign,amounts
to not less than $500,000,000, and the
Herald argues that this and other rea¬
sons advanced justifies the extension of
the presidential oflice.
Among others quoted as favoring an
extension are Cliauneey M. Depew and
Sidney' Dillon, both of whom think six
years as about the proper length of time
for which a president should be iffected.

New York, Nov. IS.--{Special. ]— 1 The
Herald says: An Interesting question has
been started in regard to the recent elec¬
tion in New York state by a bet made
by Shed Shook that Harrison's vote ex¬
ceeds Hill’s. At first eight this seems
very improbable. Harrison has a little
more than 13,000 over Cleveland, Hill
has about 18,000 over Miller. In the
twelve counties Cleveland carried he has
pluralities amounting to about 79,000,
In the thirteen counties Hill carried, he
has pluralities amounting to about w 8,-
000. In the forty-seven counties carried
by Harrison, he has a total plurality of
about 92,(X)0. In the' forty-six counties
carried by Miller, he has about 80JXX)
plurality. It will te w*en that Hill not
only has a plurality of 18,(XX) over Miller,
but au apparent plurality of b,<>O0 over
Cleveland and of ii,000 over Harrison.
Yet In the number of votes polled Hill
comes third instead of first. Harrison
leads, of course, and then comes Cleve¬
land. Hill is some 87,000 votes behind
Cleveland, and 60,000 behind Harrison.
Harrison has some 70,(XX) or 80,000 more
than Miller.
In forty counties from which the full
vote has been received, and these in¬
clude both Kings and New York. Cleve¬
land has 517,496 votes: Harrison, 511,113;
Hill, 403,543, and Miller 427,653. Cleve¬
land leads with 6,393 over Harrison,
while Harrison is 47,570 more than Hill.
In tho remaining twenty counties Cleve¬

while Harrison lias pluralities of 23,000.
Hill has pluralities of about 10,000.

study of tho figures shows clearly
enough ballots that thousands of voters cast
for electoral tickets, hut did not
take the trouble to vote for any of the

ous as ho was, Sir. failed to get 4?,00(i votes

This goes to show, firs.t, that there are
election more interesting than combinations in the

out of them, and in the second place,
that Shed Shook is not such a wild bet¬

vote is the great falling off in tho prohi¬
bition vote. It was to te expected that
with such a popular and genial candi¬

ty would excel all previous efforts. Tnl*

Yet the hard facts are that, while tho
prohibition will exceed vote by in the state this year
some four or five thou¬
sand that cast for Gov. St. John in 1884,
it will fall some twelve or thirteen thou¬
sand tehind the vote polled by Hunting-
ton. the prohibition candidate for secre¬
tary of state last year. Most of these
twelve or thirteen thousand votes were
cajoled back into the republican fold,
and yet they do not appear to have gone
to Miller, the high license advocate.
They They stopped short at did the electoral tick¬
the et. prohibition certainly candidate not for go to Jones,
governor,
as his vote is very much the • same as
Gen. Fisk’s.
There does not appear to te much rea¬
son for believing that owing to the fact
that two of the later jiarty’s electors
headed some of the republican
electoral tickets. there is a
chance for two of the Cleve¬
land electors being elected. Even allow¬
ing that all of those who voted for Mr.
Coogan loted this mixed labor and re¬
publican ballot, there would still remain
to the two lowest on the full republican
electoral ticket a plurality of three or
four thousand. It must not te forgot¬
ten that the later party had a full elec¬
toral ticket of their own in the field, and
that it is only fair to presume that a
large proportion of the Coogan voters
voted for it.
Yesterday's official returns from Rock¬
land county gives the following vote:
For lieutenant governor—Jones, 3,861;
Cruger, 3,074; Powell, 250. For associate
judge —Gray, 3,885; Rumsey, 3,001;
Stevens, 257.
I wonder, by the way, how the Butler
vote of 16,955 in lte4 and the George
vote of 70,055 in 18.87 were divided this
year. The
more the Kings county vote is
studied the clearer it Ixx-omes evident that
a g al
bridge undoubtedly hurt President Cleve¬
land. It is all very well to blaffie the
mugwumps, but they didn't do all the
mischief. Jim Kane, who headed the
democratic local ticket for register, only
received a little more than 0.000 majori¬
ty, while Mr. Cleveland had over 12,000
and Mr. Hill over 13,000. The other
democratic county and city officers had
majorities of from 9.000 to 4,000, while
in the case of the county clerk the re¬
publicans seetn to have won. This shows
very heavy cutting of the local demo¬
cratic ticket. If Boss McLaughlin had
put up stronger men. or if he had only
tics been of less the conspicuous city, would in ruling the Cleve¬ poli¬
not Mr.
land had that 20,000 plurality so loudly
promised for him ? The national candi¬
dates seem to have teen sacrificed in the
interest of ward politicians.
