Mine Disaster at Hill Farm Mines Ends in Entrapment
At Fayette county near Duyxsar Pennsylvania a mine explosion trapped 32 miners after water and fire damp flooded the right drift. Seventy workers were in the slopes when the blast occurred, with 52 in the mine and 20 in the left heading escaping. Rescue efforts continued through the night with hopes fading. The Dunbar Furnace Company owns the mine, a major local employer, and potential losses run into thousands.

Humorous GOP Convention Promises Blarney and Ballot Reform
A 19th century letterish critique likens the coming Republican state convention to a burlesque on sincerity. It mocks ballot reform talk, recalls past pro and anti-ballot actions, and notes promises to wage workers and farmers, urging readers to compare words with deeds before June 25.
