ANOTHER MINE IIOEROR. j n Over Two Hundred Men Entombed s at Jacobs Creek, Pa., On s Thursday. li u Jacobs Creek, Pa., Dec. 1!).?An s explosion of gas in the l)arr mine of n tlij Pittsburg Coal company, located s bore, today entombed between 200 p <iiiul 250 millers and there is scarcely t a ray of hope that a single one of h theni will !>< taken from the mines tl alive.

It is my opinion lint the case of Jaro vs. Holstein, 73 i. (,\, is conclusive in this case. The ollowing language will be found on age II(J: 'The judge charged the my, in substance, that while one lay lawfully transport liquor into his state for his own and others' ersonal use, yet that if it was lutyig ransported for an unlawful purpose I was liable to seizure and !lte pary liable to arrest. * * * y\nd nl i> wo tiiink that inter-stale conuner u iil ii**l protect intoxicating li?|iiors ii port cm I into lliis tsnto for unlawful u eposes,, if the imporlal ion is in nch :i way as to malce I lie carrier an idee and ahellor in the scheme to iolate stale laws?'

''It will lie noticed in the ease pre nled by Sheriff On/Is that there is ti entire absence of any suggestion tat Ihe liquors in question are for .(lawful use or that the carrier was ii aider or an abettor in a scheme > violate Ihe slale laws. "It is III.,'ivfore m.\ opinion that ie whiskey being f ransported liner such circumstances can not be iwfullv seized or confiscated. "However, if you find a peisoii irrying iiqiior I'roni anolhcr slale to person iu this state and upon deliver receives payment for this liquor, iI her lor himself or foe anothee liner dealer iu another slate, Ihe carier is indictable and the liquor hoiilJ be confiscated." >OUTH CAROLINIANS LIKE ASSIGNMENTS. iongressmen Pleased With Their Committees?State Has Two Hands in Pork Barrel.
