Wilkeabarre Ph, Docftmber 17, —The Steven® colliery in West Pitlston, operated by Jenkins & Co was the scene of considerable ex citement at a late hour last night. Shortly after 11 o’clock the en gine-house was on fire. He made an effort to extinguish ihe flames wi-S a few buckets of water, but was unsuccessful. The structure was very dry and the fire made rapid headway. Lloyd was alone in the building at the time and he remembered that there were forty-six men in the mine. Without losing any time he ran to the telephone and gave the alarm in the mine. The foot man at the bottom of the shaft told the miners to throw down their tools and get on the cage car as quick as possible. By this time the firs had sur rounded the engineer on all sides. He patiently awaited the signal to hoist the men to the surface. At last he got the signal and brought jup the cage with lighgning speed, i Eigteen men were aboard, The carriage was then returned j to the mine for the second load of< human freight. On thia ten men were brought up. The side of the building now collapsed aud the burning timbers fell all around the brave who sHll h«ld the lever. Al Sst the remaining men got ®n to* cage and in a few minutes all were brought to the ®ur face safely. The engineer fainted frem the excitement and exhaustion bu r , was quickly rescued by the maw here of the local fire department, who had now reached the scene. He was badly burned about the face aud hands, but will recover. The fire caused damage to proper ty amounting to about |3 000.

Soldiers in Citi zens Clothes may Have Been Slain, but no Non-combatants London, December 17.—The Central News correspondent in Antong telegraphed late in the evening of December 14th : In accordance with General Nodzu’s instructions the Feng- Huang garrison, which was con fronted on December 12th by 4,- 000 Japanese, began the attack on the enemy at daybreak this morn ing. The garrison was I,4<M) strong and was commanded by Colonel Tomoyaus. The main battle took place at Yeh-Min-Shan, five miles from Feng Huang. The Japanese attacked with spirit and defeated the Chinese, driving them to Tim itsh. The Japanese loss was three offi cer? killed aud seventy private? killed and w<'U r, ded. Too Chinese lost 250 kill«d and wounded ami thirty prisoners. T'r* Japß.u»ae captured four field gun®.

The government at Tokio is not in possession of full details of the affair, but the information al ready at hand shows conclusively that some of the reports circulated concerning the conduct of the Ja panese were belli exaggerated and misleading. If there was any unnecissary bloodshed, the telegram states, the I Japanese government cannot but believe that there must have been some inciting cause, for the be havior of the Japanese troops in the enemy’s country has hitherto been most exemplary, at times un der circumstances calculated to ex cite feeling of the deepest resent ment and animosity. It is known to be a fact that the great majority of those Chinese j who were killed at Port Arthur were not peaceful inhabitants, but Chinese soldiers disguised in civil ian dress. Most of the inhabitants fled from the place several days he-1 fore its capture, and at the present, have returned and are persuing , their ordinary vocations without molestation or restraint. The Japanese government has no disposition to conceal any of the facts, but, on th® contrary, has ordered a strict invesrigation, the result of which, it is stated, will be promptly made public. AH THERE! CASSIUS Ths Venerable Bride-p r oom has a Vi'ord to say IN H!S OWN BEHALF. Speaks of Love and Passion, the oneofthe Soul. theOth erofthe Body, the one Elevating, the Oth er Deg rading. Lexington, Ky., December 17. — The Leader publishes a letter from General Cassius M. Clay to Sena tor John IL Hodges, thanking the latter for his indignant protest in The Lexington Observer against the discreditable treatment of the illustrious abolitionist by certain newspapers on the occasion of his recent marriage to his fifteen-year old-ward. Senator Hodges’s editorials re viewed General Clay’s voiderful career and declared : “Had he lived in the days of the Roman em pire he would have passed into history as the noblest Roman of them all.” General Clay says: in marrying a young girl and a peasant 1 but exercised the privi lege allowed the humblest citizen of the republic, and to spend my money as it pleases me to rule my own household and nothing more. “The disparity of ages is our own business ami nobody's else. My rigid regard for the physical as well as the moral laws of the situation places me beyond the cavil of inferior souls, who criticise me so severely. After all, love and sensualism, or passion, are as far apart as night and day. Passion punishes and may degrade, but love retines and elevates. Love is immortal. My experience in life shows me th«t a youug girl may lore an old man intensely, for love is of the soul; passion of the body.” S. M.
