of demonstrative rejoicing in the vil- '

When the pave-in occurred their death
was regarded as certain, lnit on Thurs- 1
day night the rescuers at work heard 1
5 responses to their tapping- and it was I
! indieved that there was one mnn to cs- '
" cape the fall. Yesterday when it be- 1
' came a certainty that all four were
alive the agony of Thursday was turned 1
into almost uncontrollable rejoicing.
' They puslied their work more vigorously
then, and they pierced the black wall *
that had made the prison, almost five
1 hours earlier than yx pee ted. 1
The men were faint from laelc of food '
1 and drink, but these in stimulating
! quantities were supplied them, and 1
they were shortly after midnight re- 1
' stored to their friends, hundreds of '
' whom stood massed at the mine's mouth '
to receive them. They were taken to 1
their homes in wagons with denionstra- (
lions of joy greeting them along the '
way. 1
Their escape from death is regarded
almost a miracle, considering the ex- c
tent of the cave-in and the fact that *
they were at work right beneath it. '
They had heard the warning of the 1
cracking r<*>f and lied to a place of "
safety before the fall reaehed where *
they were at work.

Wariiixciton, October !>.?Hon. .lames
E. lloyd, ex-l'nlted States district attorney,
and thfe present mayor of
llreensboro, N. C., was prevailed upon
to say a little about polities ut the Ebhitt
House yesterday afternoon. Mr.
lloyd is a strict republican, and just
now is paying more attention to his
larjfe law practice than to polities.
"The republicans," said he, "have j?ood
reason to believe that they can carry
three congressional districts in the Old
North State. The friends of Mr. Settle
tire very confident that lie will lie returned,
and I think that in the Eighth
tlistriet Romulus Z. Linney, who is the
fusion candidate of the republicans and
populists, hap an excellent chance to
beat-Mxt J^wver, the democratic nominee.
' Mr. Settle's k by the
way, is Augustus AV. (Ira ha in, of Oxford,
whose father was secretary of the
navy under President Filmore, and
who ran with Scott on the Whijf presidential
ticket of 1S.V2. Mis father's
name, nowever% will be of no especial
benefit to him in this raw, as Anicri nns

The law says that at least one

Vdjutnnt tieneral Houston here last j

him to have the deputy sheriffs j

If the military should be ordered to
