We learn from John P. Campbell the
particulars of one of the most terrible
accidents which has ever occurred in
Washington county. 1t appears that
Alexander Dye, a laboring man with a
large and dependent family, residing at
Cow Run, found in an old coal bank a
tin can containing quantity Of nitro
glycerine. 1t had doubtless been left
there by the agents OF the
Roberts torpedo company, who i'm.
agined they had concealed it in a
safe place. Mr.. Dye supposed the
clear liquid substance to be carbon oil,
and being a poor man, concluded 10
make use OF it in his family. He &C
cordipgly took it home and emptied a
portion of it into q lamp already half
full OF oil. The dangerous substance
of course sank to the bottom, leaving
the oil on top. On Thursday evening
July 4, be liz this lamp, which burned
without accident until the family re-
tired. About / o'clock it is supposed
Mr.. Dye arose for some purpose and
relit the lamp. The oil having burned
off, the nitro-glycerine followed up TO
the blaze, when a fearful explosion
alarmed the Deighborhood. Help was
almost Immediately at hand, when a
most horrible scene presented itself.
Mr.. Dye was dead-his right hand
blown off, his throat cut and bad
wound in his breast. One OF his dsugh-
ters, aged seven years, was fatally
wounded, while two other children were
severely burt. Mrs Dye received a
wound in the foot. The other members
OF the family wer. unburt. The Chin
ney end Of the log house was blown
completely out, and the entire building
reduced 10 a wreck.-Nariettiaa.

Reunion al Baltimore.

In the Baltimore correspondence oil
the Richmond Dispateh We tiud the fol-
lowing:
The following letter was received
this morning by the Virginia delega-
ton:
HEADQ'Rs W. VA DELEGATION,
BARNUNs HOTEL, BALTIMORE, MD.
The delegation from West Virginia to
the National Democratic Convention
desire to pay their respects to The Vlr-
ginia delegation to said Convention al
such time and place as may be con-
venient. Very respectfully,
B. Wilson, Chairman.
C. P. SNYDER, Secretary.
The letter was read, and, on motion,
it was resolved that the delegation from
West Virginia should be informed that
the Virginia delegation would be happy
to receive them at their room in the
St. Clair Hotel, at eight o'clock this
evening.
REUNION OF yIRGISIANs AND WEST yIR-
GISIANs.
At eight o'clock tonight the West
Virginia delegation paid their visit to
the Virginia delegation at the St.
Clair, and were received by the latter
delegation, headed by Mr.. Bocock.
The interview was very pleasant, and
the assurances OF the fraternal feeling
were mutual and earnest. Among the
well.known men 10 the room was ex
Lieutenant Governor of Virginia W.
L. jackson, now OF Kentucky; Colonel
John Cochran, OF New York, also ap.
peared among the Virginians, and there
was a touching up Of old "reminiscences
in a very friendly way.
The Dispatch remarks editorially:
"The evidence OF respect for their
mother State, Virginia, which was
given by the members of the Demo
cratic Nationl Convention from West
Virginia in making q formal call upon
the members from this State is crafty
ing to the feelings Of every true son oi
the Old Dominion. We hail it not az
indicating that the two States will ever
be reunited-for We know that the
people Of West Virginia are not in
favor OF such reunion-but as q proof
| that West yirginians, ike all other
men who were born in Virginia, are
proud ofthe name and fame Of their
old mother"

Letter from GreenbrIer-JOe CaId-
well for Jacob.

LEwIsBURe, w, VA, July 6, 1872.
Editor of the Courier:
We had very large and enthusiastic
meeting, today, of the Conservatives
and Democrats of our county. 1t was
determined to hold primary election
for candidates for county offices.
A resolution was adopted without
a dissenting voice, declaring that boilers
-so-called independent candidates-are
in fact Radical candidates, and pledging
the Democrats and Conservatives Of the
county to the support of the nominees
Of the State, Congressional, Senatorial
and Judicial Conventions.
The Jacob movement meets with no
favor among the Democrats. His
supporters in this county are the most
proscriptive Radicals-Joseph Caldwell
Carpenter and others Of that ilk.

killing him instantly.

For Jacob.i

Leonard Blake, ESQ, late President
Of the late Board Of Registration, in
Hardy county, was in town a few days
ago, and declared himself an out and
out Jacob man. He said he always
thought a great deal of Governor
Jacob; not enough, however, to vote
for him when the nominee Of the Dem
ocratic-Conservative party, but that be
would vote for him now.
Conservatives of Hardy, you all re-
member the action Of this man when
President Of the Board Of Registration.

The stokes Trial.
This morning as early as nine
o'clock, crowd had gathered around
the new Court House in order to gain
admittauce to the Court room when the
door should be thrown open. 1t was
eleven o'clock before Judge 1ngraham
arrived. District Attorney Garvin and
McKeon, Daily, fireman and Town
send, Stokes counsel, had arrived pre-
viously, and were waiting for the ap-
pearance of the Judge. The Court
room was crowded, with the usual
number of ladies present.
Stokes, accompanied by a Deputy
Sheriff, came in court Immediately
after the Judge. He appeared rather
nervous and somewhat excited and
looked very pale and downcast. A few
minutes past eleven the Judge sent
for the jury and they came in and took
their allotted seats. 1t was thought
that if they had not come to an, agrees
ment the Judge would discharge them,
and from the appearance Of the jury
they expected such a course OF action,
but the Judge took a different view OF
the matter. When the jury become
seated, Judge lngraham turned to.
ward them and spoke as follows:
Judge Ingraham-I understand, gen.
tlemen, hat you have not decided.
Foreman-There is no possibility of
agreeing.
Judge-I cannot discharge you yet.
The case has occupied three weeks. 1t
has been fully tried and then you have
not been out very long. / cannot dis
charge YOU at present
Foreman-We stand the same way
as when we were in before.
JUDGE don't want to know any
thing about your decision. will
arrange it, should you agree, so that
YOU can send for me at any time.
The jury then retired again to their
room: and during the remainder of the
day they were engaged in prayer,
singing, etc. They seem to have given
up all consideration upon the case.
Each man has made up his mind, and
will stick to his opinion to the end.
The jury will be locked up until 1890
tomorrow morning, when the Judge
will send for them again. If then they
have not agreed they will probably be
discharged.
