Devens' Retired.

Washington, May 9.-The retirement
of Devens from the Cabinet is certain
to occur at an early day. He has been
offered mission to Turkey but will
not accept. McCrary will be transferred
to the Department of Justice provided
the right man can be found for the
War department.
The National Republican, this MORN
ing, says that Senator Gordon has been
consulted, and intimates that if he
will accept of the place he can have it.
Devens denies the statement that he
is going to resign and McCrary protests
that he does not intend to leave the war
Office to take his place. Gordon who is
mentioned as the new secretary of war,
pronounces that part of it a falsehood,
calculated, if not intended, to help his
enemies i'll Georgia.

One Of tho Wei.situdes Of the Nils.

Orrin Parker is stopping at the Inter-
Ocean. His brother E. P. Parker went
to the Hills last summer and managed
to secure some excellent mining prop
erty. Then he thought he would like
to go home and see his friends and tell
them all about the new Eldorado. But
he did not remain long, for his agent
telegraphed him to return Immediately,
as he had trouble with the Jumpers
and his attendance was required at
once. The matter was settled satisfac-
torily to all concerned, and then his
brother Orrin followed out to try ''his
luck" but shortly after reaching the
Hills E. p, the brother, took sick-a
severe cold-which terminated fatally.
To-day his brother arrived from the
Hills with the body of the deceased, :,
and will take the remains to Western
New York, where the family resides.

The National Game.
FORT LARAMIE, May 7, 1877.
Iito,. (ne1ta,,s,a TonJe,-.

FORT LARAMIE, May Z, 1877.
Editor Cheyenne Leader:
DEAR SIR-Please insert the follow
ing in your valuable paper, if you have
room for such matters. / am certain
the Wyomings, of your city, as also the
boys at Fort d. A. Russell and vicinity,
would like to know what we think Of
the national game out here.
am instructed by vote of our club
at its last meeting, to send your paper
report of all games played by our
nine.
The ball was set rolling here ON the
29th of last month, with match game
between the Monahan B. B. c. (Co.
&c. y and Company GA" Sd Cavalry.
The Monahans were short of the ser
vices of four of their first nine, still
they came off victorious by score of
% to 10.
On May 9th the lovers of our nation
al game assembled to the number of
about five hundred, including many
ClGlZtuS ell TOulc 1OT Iuc DldCk t1lllS,
to witness the much talked Of game be-
tween the Monahans and &C." Co. 9th
Infantry. The Monahans are strong
nine, and in excellent practice, and
work we'll together, and the conse-
quence was that the &C." Co boys fell
easy victims to their opponents, to the
tune of 90 to 3. The Monahans ex-
celled both at the bat and in the field.
The base playing of Delmege, Phelan,
and Kang, and short field of Marion,
was excellent. Rosenberg attended
to everything behind the bat, but the
feature of the game was the effective
pitching of Comfy, fourteen men going
out on strikes and not base hit. AS
our fielders had no work to perform in
their positions in the last game, will
have to defer mentioning their names
till next time.
By inserting this you will oblige q
great many readers of your paper.
am, sir, very respectfully, your
obdt. servt., PAT. DELMEGE,
Sec. Co. ct" Sd Cav. B. B. C.

Fatal Mining Explosion.

Fatal Mlning Explosion.
st. Clair, May "a terrible explo-
sion of gas occurred in the Wadesville
mine, near st. Clair, this morning, kill
ing and wounding nine men and i'm
prisoning five others. The first warn
ing of the accident was sudden alarm
sent up to the boss for aid, and de-
bodies of John Dunkin and William
Kirk, killed outright. Seyen more
men were then reached, all seriously
burned, and it is thought three cannot
possibly recover. The five men i'm
prisoned are behind 200 tons of coal
displaced by the explosion. A large
force of miners are removing this mass
of coal. Some think the imprisoned
men can be reached by night, while
others think it will be impossible to
liberate them before morning, as the
gangway in which they are confined
runs under the surface for a mile, and
getting at them is slow and laboriOus
task. The scene at the mouth of the
shaft is heartrending. A large num-
Der of men, women and children are
gathered, anxiously awaiting the rescue
of their friends and relatives. The
names of four of the five men impris-
oned are, Benjamin Mosely, Herbert
Moore, Thomas Connors and Joseph
Milwood. Before the men can be res
cued it is feared that it will be too
late to save their lives. They have
been in since 10 O'Clock.
LATER.-Three more bodies have
been taken out, leaving two men still
in the mine.
Thos. Connors, who was among the
last of the men to be brought out, had
his head and both legs blown off. Her
bert Moore, another of the victims, pre-
sented frightful appearance, his face
and body being dreadfully burned and
disfigured. Jno. Darkin was thrown
with great violence against props and
who escaped, says that the gas after ig-
hitting flew through the mine with
great rapidity, destroying everything
in its path. Weaklin hearing the first
report, quickly laid down and the gas
passed over him. 1t soon became nee
essary to fan fresh air into the mine for
so foul had the gas became that those
sent down to rescue the men could only
work at short intervals. James Leady
was badly burned and it is doubtful if
he can recover. Two miners have just
come up, and report that large guam
tity of coal has fallen on Benz. Mosely
and that it will be impossible to get at
him for some time. No hopes are en-
tertained of rescuing him alive. The
indications are that men have been
killed and seriously injured:
