PiasteriRg the WreRg Man.

A Newport correspondent Of the
New York Commerciai Advertiser re-
lates the following as one of the mis-
takes incident to hotel life-when
parties are in a hurry and the gas
turned off:
heard such an excellent story,
an knowing it to be u fact I must
reiate it. A gentleman and wife on
a travelling tour stopped at hotel
TIE gentleman was an invalid, jaunt-
ins Tor health, and was subject to
sever as:ae;,s Of <pasms in his chest,
which nothing would relieve but a
b.is;.r, or n the absence of that a
good ho; mustard plaster. They
rcaaAed 5he strange hotel late in the
d., a.d IN he night Mr.. was
ys ken very Ill. Ht~ wife was unable
to find any remedies at hand among
her traps, but remembering to have
seen the castor containing mustard
on the sideboard of the dining hall,
and being reluctant to arouse the
servants, She few down with light,
and made plaster as quick as pos
s;ble Now the room she occupied
Mas at the head of the stairs, on the
right hand coming mp, but there was
one precisely similar to it on the left
side. Just as she reached the head
Of the staircas her light went out,
ont wishing to bring relief to the
sufferer as quickly as possible, she
went into her room on the right, as
she supposed, and flying up to the
occupant If the bed-her husband,
of conrse--raised the clothing and
c apped the plaster on his chest. Just
az it touched the individual in ques-
zion, what was her fright and horror
at being assailed with strong ex-
pletive, and at discovering she had
,,rned to the left instead of the right,
nd entered the wrong apartment.
The hurry with which she entered
,as not quite equal to that with which
she retraated, and finding her own
man and telling him the story, he
laughed so outrageously as to get
cured without any plaster at all. So
mortified was the lady, however, that
Size insisted on leaving the hotel the
next morning, at an hour sufficiently
early to avoid meeting the victim Of
her mistake.

P. S.-Since writing the above we

that the telegraph wires have been Gu,
by the rascals in both directions, to
prevent their capture by those means.
1t was evidently well-put-up job, and
no doubt they had been on the LAY
for several days.
We have still further particulars. A
dispatch was received from Mr.. Black
Of Greensboro, stating that on yester
day two men came to that place, had
two drills and two tubes made, hired q
horse and buggy and started for Nor

They must have been the same men
who committed the burglary, as they

PIrrsToN, Pa, June 22.-Yesterday
afternoon a great excitement was caused
at the Empire mines near Wilkesbarre,
by the sudden caving in Of the slope in
two places, imprisoning forty miners
who were extricated after being i'm
prisoned for one hour during which
time they suffered severely from the
foul air. Several Of the miners have
been affected by inhaling the noxious
and deadly gases during their confine-
ment, but it is thought they will all
survive. The cause Of the caving is
unknown. This accident will stop the
production of the Wilkesbarre Coal and
Iron company by FIVE hundred tons
per day and it will take two weeks TO
clear out the slope properly.
An alarming explosion Of fire-damp
took place yesterday afternoon at the
Wilkesbarre Coal and Iron company's S

kins and John Davis were badly burned.
Jenkins injuries are so serious that he
is not expected to recover.

PUGILISTS IN COURT.
Edwards and COllins-The Decision
ofthe Lower Court Sustained.

New YORK, June 22.--Billy Edwards
and Tim Collins, the prize fighters, who
are under sentence Of four years i'm
prisonment for fighting in the ring, were
Yesterday before the Supreme Court on
a writ of habeas corpus. Their counsel
made a lengthy argument insisting that
the court before whom they were tried
did not posses the proper jurisdiction;
that the statues defining the crime
made generalization an essential portion
of it; that the commitment omitted
reconciliation or its equivallant, and
that upon this ground the prisoners
should be discharged. The court ruled
that some legal defect must be shown
in the jurisdiction and that the commit
ment need not set out the jurisdiction or
the evidence, and that the writ must be
dismissed. The prisoners were remand,
ed back to Blackwells Island. Had
they been discharged two Kings county
officers stood ready to take them to that
county where the fight occurred for
| trial.

DARING BURGLARY.

Robbed.

hODDeu.
From the constitutional
On Wednesday morning last, between
the hours Of two and four clock, the
brokers' office OF John II. Hoffman a
Co., on Main street, two doors above
our office, was broken into and the safe
blown open, literally demolishing it.
The burglars forced an entrance to the
office through the front door with q
crowbar, and then attempted to cut
into the safe with a cold chisel, but
failing in this, succeeded in gaining ac-
cess to its contents by the use OF an
explosive. They must have been dis
turbed in their operations, for on en-
tering the Office early in the morning
Mr.. Hoffman found the door standing
wide open, their tools, which consisted
Of heavy sledge, identified by JOS
Pickenpaugb as his property crow
bar. two cold chisels and brace, lying
on the floor, and the papers from the
safe scattered over the desk and coun-
ter. All the burglars succeeded in
getting were a few postage-stamps.
which hardly paid for the powder, and
a draft payable to the order OF the
firm, which is Of no account to the
burglars. A pocketbook containing a
small sum OF money, two or three
checks on Wheeling, and $1,000 in tel
eeraph stock was left intact. The
scoundrels evidently expected a big
haul, but fortunately were one day 100
late. The right previous over SlOOo
in money lay in the safe, but was dis,
posed Of during the day.
Suspicion points with almost direct
certainty to couple Of men, protesting
to be here for the purpose Of buying
land, and who had been negotiating
with Mr.. Hoffman for the purchase oi
his farm. One Of them called at the
office during Mr.. Hofman's absence and
requested Mr.. Finnell to change q
twenty dollar bill, but net having the
key OF the safe, directed hun TO some
OF the stores. He almost insisted on
Charley opening the safe, with the
view, no doubt, Of discovering the val
ne OF its contents. But be bad to leave
unsatisfed. One OF the men Is described
as about six feet high, and the othel
