How Coal Ashes Affect the Wind.

The wind is governed by atmospheric
changes and coal ashes, We don't know,
positively, which has the greater intlu-
ence, but we are inclined to stake our all
on coal ashes. We do not believe that
al! the atmosphere about us can control
the wind to the degree that one hod of
coal ashes can when passing through a
sieve in the hands of man who has got
his best suit OF clothes on. We remem-
Der an occasion, when the wind was
blowing direct from the west, and had
been blowing from that direction all day,
and bid fair To blow from that direction

ashes and undertook 10 screen them.

that when he had gyrated that slew

MURDERS Ar THE WINES.
Horrible Oulrages and Atrocities iu the
Mining Region Of PenusyIvsBiA
by ignorant BesOtIed miners.

WILKEsBARRE, Pa, November lS.-
The reign of lawlessness in the coal re-
gions appears to be continually growing
worse, caused, perhaps, by the fact that
most of the perpetrators of the assaults
and murders escape capture and punish
ment. At Carbonate, on Saturday
night or Sunday morning last, two men
were murdered and three severely
wounded, one of whom will probably
die. Patrick Padden, a miner at the
Coalbrook colliery, was found upon
Dundof street, in that city, Sunday
morning, with two bullet holes in his
head and badly pounded about the body.
His head was frozen to the ground, the
hair having dragged in a pool Of blood
and water which had CONCEALED. He
was not quite dead when found, but ex-
pired in the afternoon. Michael
M'Namy was found dead the same morn
ing upon the railroad bridge, near Look
out, in the same city. He was about
twenty years Of age. The body had evi
IDENTIFY been put there. Michael Begland
was found about the same time with his
throat cut. He was dressed in an old
suit Of miners clothing. When last seen,
on Saturday night, he had on a good
suit Of clothes. He Is still alive aud will
probably recover. A boss at the Erie
breaker was waylRid on Saturday
night and had his arm broken, aud
received other injuries, but escaped with
his life. His name has not yet been as
ceftained. About two miles below the
city, at the Carbonate mines, a man
whose na.neis not yet known, wss found
nailed to beam 10 lonely and unfre-
quented place. Strong nails were driven
through his coat at the wrists and his
pRntaloons at the ankles, and in this po-
sition he was abandoned and left to die,
but by a mere accident was found and
released. At Scranton, on Sunday
morning, a newsbOy found the body of
Michael Kearney lying at the foot Of a
steep embankment. He was dead, aud
had evidently been thrown there No
arrests.

a QUEER CASE.
a Deputy Clerk nOt a ResPOnsibIe
Agent-A Marriage Declared NuiI
and VOId-M arder at the
Zeal nines.

CLEVELAND, November 1s.-Some
time ago Christopher Smith took out q
license to marry young woman, max.
ing affidavit that the woman was OF
legal age. The license was granted by
the clerk OF the probate judge. Soon
after the girls father had Smith ar
rested for perjury, as the girl st the
time was but sixteen years old. Smith
was indicted by the grand jury, and
the case came on for trial in the COM
mon pleas court to-day. Smiths attOr-
ney claimed there was no case, as the
probate judges clerk was not legally
authorized to issue licenses in the sb-
sence Of the probate judge. This opiB-
ion was sustained by Judge Bingham,
who held that the probate judge, under
the constitution and laws, was authorized
to issue marriage licenses but was not
authorized to delegate this power to bis
clerk, and directed the july to bring in
a verdict Of not guilty, which was con-
scented to by the prosecuting attorney,
and the prisoner discharged. This, of
course does not invalidste the marriage
under the license.
Word comes from a reliable source
that affairs at JACKSONVILLE coal mines
are far from quiet. For several nights
the cOlOred miners, and those in sympa-
thy with them, nave been fred upon by
men in ambush. Last night q mail car
rier was fred upon and his hOrse killed.
Windows in stores owned by the opera
tors are nightly broken. Further trouble
is apprehended.

On the other hand, the Republicans are

Drawing Ghe Lucky Numbers In the
Texas Prize Concert.

We find the following notices Ia the
Houston papers, touching the manner
in which the drawing on the twenty
second ultimO was conducted:
From the Age
The OpeTahOuse was well filled on Fri
day with anxious ticket-holders, and
mauy curious 10 see the drawing of the
thirteen hundred and seventy-twO prizes
which were TO be taken from the great
"wheel Of fortune" The committee oil
gentlemen was one Of the best that could
have been selected by the audience. Mr..
w. d. Cleveland, the enterprising whole
sale commission merchant Of our city;
G. w. Pescsy, of the large jewelry house
OF c. w. Pescay & Co.; sam SteTne, q
longtime merchant and energetic bust
ness man, was another OF the commit
tee; c. c. Wiggin is Of the firm of Wig
gin, Smith & Simpson, proprietors of
The extensive Phoenix Iron works, Of
this city. Hon. d. L. BaTziZa, who su-
pervised the drawing, is our present. rep
reseDtative, and one of the most popular
men in the district. The drawing was
prefsced by an explanation from Cap
Jaiu Foster, OF the mode adopted. This
was well received, and understood pre-
cisely as was explained by the circulars.
Captain Foster said that while he wished
all his home people good luck, he yet
was free to say that with the people of
poor Mississippi, Louisiana and South
Carolina, he felt 8 greater sympathy,
and he did hope they would draw The
largest number Of the prizes, that they
might come to a free country, and make
q white mans living. This sentiment
was received with loud cheers. The
drawing was then proceeded with, and
the result is announced elsewhere.
From the Telegraph
Not even the most captious and sus-
pecting person could take exceptions to
the manner OF the drawing. It was
fair, honorable and equitable. Thecom-
mittee and recorders were of our very
best citizens, and kindly gave their time
and labor to the superintendenee Of the
drawing, or rather did the actnal labor
OF il. Captain Foster has acted honor
ably and fairly throughout the whole
management Of this enterprise, and has
given no one the slightest cause to sus-
pect any wrong intention on their part.
While some money has been made by
the venture in all probability, yet the
property given as prizes has only melted
a fair price, and the profit is only in ex-
change OF the property for cash.

city Of numbers, but in counties where
they had the least showing they did
have tickets, and as a rule they voted
against the constitution. In seVeIs'
counties they elected their tickets. Inc
election was as fair as any ever neld II
any State. Judges Mcclure and Rice,
before the congressional investigating
COMMITTEES, the other day, stated there
were frauds and intimidation OF voters
--cOlored voters particularly. Inc re-
I Spouse Of Judge Poland to this was 10
the point; that the Radical managers
first desired to establish that the he-
publicans remained away nom the
poIls, under the advice OF the Repubi-
can State convention, and then desired
10 prove that Republican voters were
intfmidated and not permitted 10 vote!
Even the committee was Disguised with
such a position. There could be no Oc-
casion for fraud when there was no OPP
pOsitiou 20 our ticket-when Republic

cans to refrain from voting. But Judge

was admitted all the Republicans did

which was elected on the thirteenth

in accordance with the schedule

WAsHINeToN, November IS.-The
safe-burglary trial was resumed to-day.
At the opening of the court the judge
said Harrington had asked TO be allowed
to retire to the adjoining room during
the course of the arguments. The judge
said he saw no objection TO his doing so

his argument.
After recess, the return notice in the
Whitley and Dawson cases was read.
