Houghton, Mich., Dec. 6.—Forty men who were being lowered to work in the Mosnard mine last night have disappeared as completely as if the ea'rth.had swallowed them, following an explosion of dynamite in the mine. It Is believed they were blown to atoms as no trace of them can be found. Many miners far below where the explosion occurred, have not been heard from and it Is feared additional deaths have resulted. . Mother Suicided. Before Congress. i of County. Another contest over a county of- fice—the third—was instituted in court this morning, being that in behalf uf Lewis Jones, of West Pittston, the Republican candidate for prothonotary at the recent election, who was declared defeated by the court by a small plurality. The papers filed in this case are exactly similar in form to those presented to the court yesterday in behalf of Attorney Mulhall and Fuller Hendershot, who are contesting the ofllces of district attorney and State Senator, respectively. Twenty-five citizens of the county sign a statement to the effect that, to the best of their knowledge and belief, fraud and illegalities have been committed in certain election districts of the county with relation to the vote cast for the office of prothonotary. The statement rec.tes that, according to the count made by the court, the vote on the office of prothonotary stands as followsVj Walser, 16,242; Jones, 16,12": Seward. 1,250; plurality for Walser, 115. It is further declared by the petitioners that the Vote, if properly revised and illegal votes thrown out, would stand as follows: For Walser, 14,685; for Jones, at least 16,480, making a plurality of at least 1,795 for Jones. The petition sets forth that the districts In which illegalities are believed to have taken place in connection with the election for prothonotary are 21 in number, being Herkimer, N. Y., Dec. (!.—Absolutely placid of maimer anil undaunted by the verdict that brands liliu as the murderer of Grace Brown, Chester Gillette sat In his cell and played solitaire— and actually whistled. He seemed to '•)»D confident that the appeal to be made D»y Messrs. Mills and Thomas, his coum del, will be successful. He seemed to regard it as a favorable omen that Judge Devendorf has postponed sentence, probably until Monday. Chicago, Dec. 0.—Mysticism and the "black art" following the sudden death of Mrs. Hose Vrezal, whose four children and husband have died under strange circumstances within nine months, have entered Into the baffling family tragedy which the police and coroner are rigidly investigating. Washington, Dec. 0.—A brief session of the seuate resulted In the introduc tion of uiaiiy hills, resolutions, petitions and memorials and the receipt ot a number of communications from the executive departments. Senator Fora Uer's Insistence tftat immediate action be taken on the pend ing resolutions for Information regarding the discharge of the negro soldiers of the Twenty-tifth infantry developed discussion, but resulted in postponing action in the matter. The disaster, if one has really occurred, must be the worst In the history of the State. Number 8 shaft of the mine is wrecked for several hundred feet. It may be days before ft can be cleared to rescue hte. entombed men. Thousands of tons of dynamite were stored in the magazine. The cause of the explosion is unknown. Min.ng operations will be suspended for many weeks. Herman Billek, a hypnotist, fortune teller and exponent of weird phenomena, was seized by the police after the death of the woman, which followed within a week after the death of her twelve-year-old daughter, Ella. The young man, whose amazing "•nerve" lias caused people to look upon hint as a human sphinx, has another tiling to cheer him—a telegram from his mother, Mrs. F. S. Gillette of Denver. It reads: The house while waiting 011 the report of appropriation bills began its legislative grind by passing three measures—incorporating the National German-American alliance, authorizing the secretary of the treasury to duplicate gold certificates in lieu of ones lost or destroyed and the bill amending the national banking laws, permitting national banking associations to uiakt loans on real estate as security iyul limiting the amount of such loans. Billek immediately became the central figure In the Investigation of the succession of deaths in the Vrezal family, his arrest having followed a declaration by Mrs. Emma Niemann, a surviving daughter of the dead woman. that he was with her mother shortly before her collapse and that he bad given strange medicine to her father, who died, and several of the children, who expired subsequently. "My Own Dear Boy—God still reigns. Your innocence will be proved. We fiave sent word that the case is to be appealed. Trust in God. Your trust is there. We have firm faith In your innocence, and wrong shall not prevail. God willing, I shall be at the next trial. Your loving mother." PRESIDENT HARAHAN OF THE ILLINOIS CENTRAL EXPLOSION IN FACTORY The new president of the Illinois Central railroad, .Tames T. Harahnn, who succeeds Stuyvesant Fish, is a lifelong railroad man. He began his connection with the business in 18tD4, at the aga of twenty-one. Mr. Harahan has served in practically every official capacity on railroads, l'or many years he was with the Louisville iDnd Nashville and other southern roads.

Police Inquiry Cauies Suicide, Tile banking bill has been one of tilt west's favorite measures, and the lead ers in the house from that section lined up generally in favor of the legislation which, it was asserted would go lai toward popularizing the national banks. The opponents of the bill. Democrats and Republicans, insisted that real estate was not a proper security for a loan, even though a limit was placed 011 the loan. The advocates ol the measure were too strong, liowevei and the bill was passed two to oue. iiuuie esuuiiisniiiciir, maiiing t lie strength of the army nineteen divisions, Including the guards.

The correspondent says that when her programme is completed Japan will be able to place an army of 7fiO,(MR) men In the field. TRACTION COMPANY OFFERS ADVANCE On receipt of the telegram the usually imperturbable countenance of Gillette showed joyful emotion. It was believed Mrs. Vrezal took poison as a result of worry over a police Inquiry into the death of her daughter, Ella, which brought to light the series of deaths in the family since June, 1 i)0.rD, beginning with Martin Vrezal, the father. "1 shall be free,'' he declared. "You see, my mother trusts in me. even if a whole county has been arrayed against me and prejudged me."

It was said that he had opened the valve of a gas stove in Ills cell, but that his attempt at asphyxiation was foiled by his keeper. No faith was placed in the suicide story, however, by those who have watched the prisoner. About $300,000 Though a will found in the room of tile dead mother indicates to the police that she contemplated death, the discovery that Billek had for years been attached to Mrs. Vrezal, was a frequent visitor at the bouse and, ad; cording to reports, held a strange spell over her leads them to believe that he may be able to throw considerable light 011 the case.

Russo-'Japanese Deal Falls Through That the president's views 011 the subject meet with the hearty approval of the Japanese government was made evident when Viscount Aoki, the Japanese ambassador, thanked the president for what he said in his message regarding the vexed question. The story goes that Ward could have proved by Sheriff Klc\iurd and Evans, a turnkey, that Gillette lied, but to have ptit them on the witness stand would have been to make a reversal of the trial by the court or appeals absolutely certain.

If any blame is to be attached to anybody, according to Mr. Burnham's story, it must fall on the shoulders of Colonel Edward O. James, his friend and business associate, who is dead. That the Japanese authorities realize that a mistake was made in lodging the complaint at Washington about the actiou of the San Francisco authorities In excluding Japanese children front the public schools and are ready to withdraw their demands and let the incident drop is believed here.

Houghton, Mich., Dec. 6.—Forty men who were being lowered to work in the Mosnard mine last night have disappeared as completely as if the ea'rth.had swallowed them, following an explosion of dynamite in the mine.

Another contest over a county of- fice—the third—was instituted in court this morning, being that in behalf uf Lewis Jones, of West Pittston, the Republican candidate for prothonotary at the recent election, who was declared defeated by the court by a small plurality. The papers filed in this case are exactly similar in form to those presented to the court yesterday in behalf of Attorney Mulhall and Fuller Hendershot, who are contesting the ofllces of district attorney and State Senator, respectively. Twenty-five citizens of the county sign a statement to the effect that, to the best of their knowledge and belief, fraud and illegalities have been committed in certain election districts of the county with relation to the vote cast for the office of prothonotary. The statement rec.tes that, according to the count made by the court, the vote on the office of prothonotary stands as followsVj Walser, 16,242; Jones, 16,12": Seward. 1,250; plurality for Walser, 115. It is further declared by the petitioners that the Vote, if properly revised and illegal votes thrown out, would stand as follows: For Walser, 14,685; for Jones, at least 16,480, making a plurality of at least 1,795 for Jones. The petition sets forth that the districts In which illegalities are believed to have taken place in connection with the election for prothonotary are 21 in number, being Herkimer, N. Y., Dec.

Chicago, Dec. 0.—Mysticism and the "black art" following the sudden death of Mrs. Hose Vrezal, whose four children and husband have died under strange circumstances within nine months, have entered Into the baffling family tragedy which the police and coroner are rigidly investigating. Washington, Dec. 0.—A brief session of the seuate resulted In the introduc tion of uiaiiy hills, resolutions, petitions and memorials and the receipt ot a number of communications from the executive departments. Senator Fora Uer's Insistence tftat immediate action be taken on the pend ing resolutions for Information regarding the discharge of the negro soldiers of the Twenty-tifth infantry developed discussion, but resulted in postponing action in the matter.

Min.ng operations will be suspended for many weeks. Herman Billek, a hypnotist, fortune teller and exponent of weird phenomena, was seized by the police after the death of the woman, which followed within a week after the death of her twelve-year-old daughter, Ella. The young man, whose amazing "•nerve" lias caused people to look upon hint as a human sphinx, has another tiling to cheer him—a telegram from his mother, Mrs. F. S. Gillette of Denver. It reads: The house while waiting 011 the report of appropriation bills began its legislative grind by passing three measures—incorporating the National German-American alliance, authorizing the secretary of the treasury to duplicate gold certificates in lieu of ones lost or destroyed and the bill amending the national banking laws, permitting national banking associations to uiakt loans on real estate as security iyul limiting the amount of such loans. Billek immediately became the central figure In the Investigation of the succession of deaths in the Vrezal family, his arrest having followed a declaration by Mrs. Emma Niemann, a surviving daughter of the dead woman. that he was with her mother shortly before her collapse and that he bad given strange medicine to her father, who died, and several of the children, who expired subsequently. "My Own Dear Boy—God still reigns. Your innocence will be proved. We fiave sent word that the case is to be appealed. Trust in God. Your trust is there. We have firm faith In your innocence, and wrong shall not prevail. God willing, I shall be at the next trial. Your loving mother."

TRACTION COMPANY OFFERS ADVANCE On receipt of the telegram the usually imperturbable countenance of Gillette showed joyful emotion. It was believed Mrs. Vrezal took poison as a result of worry over a police Inquiry into the death of her daughter, Ella, which brought to light the series of deaths in the family since June, 1 i)0.rD, beginning with Martin Vrezal, the father. "1 shall be free,'' he declared. "You see, my mother trusts in me. even if a whole county has been arrayed against me and prejudged me."

It was said that he had opened the valve of a gas stove in Ills cell, but that his attempt at asphyxiation was foiled by his keeper. No faith was placed in the suicide story, however, by those who have watched the prisoner. About $300,000 Though a will found in the room of tile dead mother indicates to the police that she contemplated death, the discovery that Billek had for years been attached to Mrs. Vrezal, was a frequent visitor at the bouse and, ad; cording to reports, held a strange spell over her leads them to believe that he may be able to throw considerable light 011 the case.
