One evening, last week a boy named
Charley Corcoran, IA years of age,
while STOPPING to pick something from
the street just back of the International
Hotel, on b street, Virginia, from SOM
unaccountable cause had a small box
of caps, such as are used in exploding
giant powder cartridges, to explode IN
his vest pocket, literally tearing his
clothes from his person, and causing a
severe and painful wound on the left
side, a little below the pit of the stom-
ach. The strangest part of the Occur-
renee was that almost the entire force
of the explosion seems to have been
expended in an outward direction, for
had it been toward the body the boy
would have been blown in pieces. At
last accounts the lad was recovering.

The coroner's inquest on the remains
Of the man discovered in the La
Plata Orc shaft, at Virginia, a few days
ago, has developed circumstances
which render it more than probable
that they are the remains of Frank
Williams, who mysteriously disap-
peared November l6, 1872. 1t was
doubtless IA Ease of murder, and some
clue may yet be obtained to the perpe-
traitors of the crime.

Siluer State editor that on one or
two occasions within the last two

taxable symptoms of insanity. The

or done for effect, as the prisoner
stoutly denies all completely in the
crime with which he is charged.
