that building and more than half OF the io'''hS

The scenes on tDe OUTSIDE III tne ntlgHODT-
hood Of the works were Of the widest and most
heartrending character. The news Of the ex-
piosion spread like wildfre through the CITY,
and In a short time the people hogan 70 gather
from all parts. Men. women, and children who
had relatives and friends In the estaDlisbment
rushed Ironically forward. and scene OF the
widest confusion followed. The police, with
ropes extended across the streets. Kept the
SURFING crowd from interfering " th the sue
ces3ful work of the nremen and their apparatus
The Chief Of Police, with large BODY OF patrol,
men, were kept busy In keeping back the GROVE
and assisting In carrying out the wounded ana
killed from under the q ebris.
The of'lce OF the works. on the corner OF
Etna street, opposite the mill where the
explosion occurred, was considerably useu
up. The building was impIovlsed into
n Temporary hospital where the dead ana
wounded were carried. A large number OF sur
geons were promptly on the ground.
The caus es W hich led to this frightful calamity
are as yet enveloped In mystery. The boilers
were In charge Of n careful engineer, and had
been duly Inspected before the works resumed
operations some five weeks age.
Later, 2 \, M.-Frank Mangus, Andrew Man
gus, and Louis Shrank have died from their In
Juries, and Pat. Grinin, John Higgins. James
Klein. Frank McCanorty, and Harris Loher will
doubtless die.

committee see these things and let
them learn the history of this suf-
fering and those wrongs. Let them
see things just as they are and lot
them take home to their hearts, the
truth, and they will but wonder
that our people have been
so patient and have borne 30 long
the oppression: and tyranny of car
pet-bag rule and rulers. We wish
them TO see our people just as they
are, and learn from them just what
they have endured. And when
they return to Washington we hope
they will not only make a report
to the Senate, but that they will
publish, for the benefit of the north
ern masses, the story of the wrongs
that have been inflicted upon q
christian people, thor own kith
and kin, under sanction of law and
by sword and bayonct. Let each
member take the story home with
him, let him tell it to his wife and
and prattling children,
that this, once the Eden spot of our
common country, this home of
knightly men and queenly women
is to-day little short of a barren waste
because the hand of the despoiler has
been laid heavily upon it, and they
of the National Govern
ment have we'll nigh sapped tho last
drop of it's substance.

Water Valley Courier: On Tues
day night of last week a brutal at
tempt was made toas sassinate Mrs.
Tabitha Halle, who resides some
eight miles southeast of Coffeville.
The old lady, temporarily left alone
in her house, had retired for the
night and was asleep, hen she was
awakened by q noise and became
conscious of.the presence. of some one
in the room. On attempting to
speak she was knocked scnseless by
a blow with an axe, which was fol
lowed up by others, until tho wretc b.
es supposed her to be dead, inflicting
severe bruises and wounds about
the hoad and a fracture of tho arm.
In this condition she was found by
her son, who returned home
about midnight. On Friday Bill
Owen sand William Perry, both
colored, were arrested and on
the confession of the latter, and on
Saturday were hold to await the
action of tho grand jury. On Mon
day, how ever, William a boy of
fifteen-made another confession
duplicating his mother and his uncle,
Abe Williams. The latter was ex-
amined on Wednesday and now lies
in Jail. Owens has been discharged.
The motive of the miscrcants does
not seem to have been plumber as
nothing on the premises was taken
away. The re is much feeling in the
community on the subject,as the law
affords no adequate remedy for such
AL outrage. Mrs. Halle is in fair
way to rec over from the effects of
her injuries.

Mississippi, has not yet left Wash

are anxious that it should come,
but earnestly trust that it will not
confine its investigations to cities
alone, and in the examination of
officials, politicians and other pub
lie men, but that it will visit inte-
rior towns and the rural districts of
our state and interrogate the hardest

and learn from them the true tale
Of wrongs and sufferings that has
been their experience, and witness
the blight and ruin and desolation
that hang like shrouds about their

tho terrible change that has taken
place in our social system. Let

subject of tho Government Printing
Office makes this complimentary
mention of it:
Mr.. Singleton OF Mississippi grasp
cd the whole subject with marked
ability and presented it so clearly
and concisely to the House on Tues
day, with supporting extracts from
the testimony, as to leave no doubt
in any candid mind as to the enormi-
ty of the systematic frauds which
have been practised, or as to the
absolute truth of every charge which
had been preferred. His speech was
free from parrisanship, and confined
to a careful review of the evidence
and to an exposure of the astounding
rascality in every branch of the
Government Printing Office.
