LMTOMRED IN A MINE. Twenty-five Oollien Bnried Alire bj an Eiteoaive Oare-in A \Vilktibarre def patch cf yesterday ays: A cave- in occurred to-day near Aahlty, in No. H mine, by which 2.~> men were rntcmbed in tbe mine. A great crowd gatht r> d upon the epot almost immediately, and tbe company took prtmpt action towarn liberating the imprirontd men. tut matt< r ire iu such a chaotic condition tbat tne ninlts are by no muni certain.

Tbe present cave extends over a half-mile square, and includes* portion of tbo thickly settled village called McfUlt's patch.

W)i< n the news spread that Froyno was burnt d a feeling of gloom came over those present. IIOMEX HEKX. The latest report is to the effect that the rturuiiig party baa penttratrd to within si*bt of two dead bcditH, but the gas is so thuk iltti iln y were driven back to the surface. The place is fall cf black damp, and further approach in tho direction of the victims is impcsaiblo even with aafety Urnpc. As it looks now, very little hope is eiittrtaiutd that any of the men will be rescued alive. Wivm and mothers crowd close op to the dark opening aud peer in a* if the ir love wonld diapel the darkncus of the fatal depths, while tbe cries of the little ones calling for their fathers make the hearers sick with pity. Wreck and nun wis wrought a* well on the surface as in the fatal pit. Ncarl) a score of home* are shattered and destroyed, and tbo families were compelled to flue for their lives. Tho surface, almost an far a* the e-ye could reach, was seamed and crackt-d with long circular nunrea, some of which were over two feet wide. Twenty- eight men in all were entombed. arscfuii.s Mm i N OCT. Mi.inij.lii Oi ly three men have been brought out thus far. It is now staled a ln.|i *et tire to tbe gas and that esauied au explosion.

They were obliged to leave their safety lamps outside and grope their way back in darknt n, where nothing could be done but listen for the ttroana of tho wounded.

At H o'clock this evening all operations at the mines were abandoned. There are yet six men iu the fatal chamber. To- morrow morning operations will be re- sumed, and the work of rescue pashed antil the remaining bodies are recovered. The cave is believed to be dne to the ex- cessive amount e f coal removed, not until- oient being left to carry tbe superincumb- ent rock. The loot was specially dangerous, r'requent comment ia made on the fact that the explosion which fol lowed the cav in, like many others of recent occurrence, was dae to the careless- ness of a fire boss. Only a wtek ago two fire bosses were convicted of criminal care- lessness and fined $50 each, and another is now awaiting trial, while several others have lost their livea along with several fellow-workmen. A (UIJaST EFFORT AT RF.S It ii now learned that it was throuKh the daring i tf.irtt of Mine Inspector Williams tbat the fate of the imprisoned miners was learned this morning. After numer- ous attempts to enter the mine through the newly made opening, I he ofliciaU concluded the air current muni I . changed, aud left with their workmen for this purpose. Inspector Williams became impatient of delay, and with Abednego K.eti made another attempt to p.

They persisted, however, and followed the gang wa> .100 feel. Waiting but a moment for the air to clear, they advanced down a steep incline if nearly liO degrees, .100 feet further, win n ).aa became so plentiful tbat they again paused. Finally advancing 500 feet through the main gangway, they came to a large chamber, which proved a chamber of horrors.

A Saratoga despatch says : In tbe 1'res byterian Assembly to day the Committee on Methods of Effecting Changes in the Confession of Faith and the Constitution ol tbe Cbarch reported : 1. That since the differences of opinion as to the methods of amendment to the Confession of Faith and the Larger and Shorter Catechisms are so marked and widespread, it ia unwise to raise tbe issues involved in the General Assembly. -'. That this Church has always oonsid ered the doctrine of such vital importance that changes in tbe doctrinal standards should be made under greater restrictions than changes or alterations ia the form of government, the book of discipline, and the directory of worship. 3. That the method! of doctrinal altera- tion should be included in the constitnticn itself and in definite termi. 4. Tbat the Chnrch, speaking officially through the presbyteries, can alone deter- mine with authority the questions at iiaue. Therefore tbe committee recommends that the question be transmuted to the presbvtenes, where there shall be added to tbe form of government Chapter XXIII. of amendments providing (first) for the propoeal by tbe General Assembly to tbe Treebyteriea of amendments or altera- tions of the form of government, book of discipline and directory for worship, but tbat these shall not be obligatory unless a majority of all the 1'renby tenea approve in writing. (Second) That alteration! in the doctrinal itandartla shall not be proposed to the Treebyierice nnltssthay h ave been under consideration for ore year by a com miitee cf not leas than 15 ministers aod ruling e 1 lers, not more than two of whom hall bo from any one Byncd. (Third) No alteration shall be made in the provi- Hions of this chapter for changes in tbe doctrinal standards unless an overture f re in the General assembly submitting the proposed alteration! tthall be tranimittee: to all thu Tresbyteries and be approved i writing by two thuds of them. (4) The General Assembly muat trans mil to tbo Tresb) tories any overture sub mitttd to it by one-third of ail tb Preiby (tries. (5) Any amendment so submitted an approved shall go into effect immediate! after the General Assembly shall have cer titled the fact. The committee also recommended tlia tbe Treabyteries be directed to aniwer th overturu a* a whole by a simple yea or na) to be reported to the staled clerk in tim to be presented to the next General Assem bly. m A MHEKIAN HOI.eit tl -f.
