But II is a remote consolation IL

regretful case, in which philosophy
affords no balm. THIS is circumstance
that has not been touched upon, So

THAT McvITy CASE.

A Virginia contemporary has at
length opened its mouth regarding
the mystery of McVity's death. What
1t says, however, is a mere random
reply, but not an answer, to an article
in Mondays TIMES. 1t casts scarcely
any light upon the subject. In one
place it painfully endeavors to prove
that we were wrong in two or
three important postulations. Per-
hsps we were. Our contemporary
ought to know, for the basis of our
criticism OF the Coroner's jury was
founded upon its report entirely
That report was before us when we
wrote the first and second articles,
and is before us still. We presume
1t is ali wrong. In fact the paper
that published it now admits that il
was.
The reporter of the paper in ques-
ton is both conscientious and COM
peten', but he is expected by the man
ayers, because of their tsaaeqssiat-
| ance with the best methods of con-
dnctirg a newspaper, to be omnipres-
ent and all-seeing. We presume the
report of the Coroner's jury in quc~,-
ton was secured AS favor from SOM
one who CHANGED to be present. At
any rate, aside from its being en-
tirely erroneous, it omitted to men-
ton any of the important points that
would suggest themselves to the most
casual inquirer. II The TIMES was
wrong in saying that the Coroner's
investigation was conducted in a slip
shod manner. it is not wrong when it
says that the report of it which its
contemporary published was shame
fully sllpshod. The condition of be-
ing slipshod existed In one of the
two places.
And this veracious aai consistent
newspaper contradicts itself when it
declares that anything positive was
said in Its report of the testim my
about vitia,ed air. One witness testi-
fed that he "thought"a candle would
not hurn 1T the face of the drift
wherein McNity's body was found.
Nothing positive was said upon that
point. The foreman ordersd steam
gotten up as soon as possible to ven
tilate the 1900 foot level when the
men were going down in search of
the missing man, but not a word was
brought ont rs to whether the ventils-
tors were nj work or not before the
searching parties entered the mine
/ And still we are gravely told that
the Investigation was not carelessly
made, and, interentially, that it was
the rcpor, that WAS slipShod. In one
! light, at least. this looks IKE making
a scapegoat of a big newspaper. FL
nally We are informed in stately
editorial, albeit sneerngiy, tina there
were no evidences OF violence on Nc
WHY'S body. TINS, tho, is contrary
u the same papers own previous re-
port, WHICH concluded with Il specu-
lation that the il Nv of blood from the
mouth and nose ami certain MARKS
about the head, we believe, we're
caused by the deceased fatlin. on
the porphyry floor Of the drift.
All these contributions being
added To the circumstance make it
more mysterious than ever, aad We
believe now nothing short of an au-
topsy will satisfy the public mind.
THIS is dcvoting good deal of
space t, one subject, bu, the miners
have nothing but their Union 10 pro-
tect them, and it is a pie SAINT duty
10 lend them the aid Of our columns

The Pistol In Virginia.


scrapes that has occurred in Vir-
ginia for a good many days tran
spired yesterday morning a little
before 5 o'clock. Dick Paddock
and Tom Hughes were drinking and
singing in the Delta, when officer
Mcdonald, policeman, entered
the saloon and told them to keep
quiet. Hughes said he was com
m,ttiug no breach of the peace, and
assumed q defiant attitude. The
officer then advanced, revolver in
hand. and Hughes drew his. Dick
Paddock stepped between them and
was shot in the forehead. Melon
aid fired four shots at Hughes,
three of which took effect, killing
him instantly. One shot wounded
Mcdonald in the scalp, but aside
from that he escaped unhurt. He
was arrested afterwarl and placed in
prison. The report of the afftir as
puh lished in The Chronicle ases
not say whether any of the cham
bers of Hughes revolver were
empty when the weapon was taken
from him.
DICK PADDOCK's CHARACTER.
Richard Paddock. better known by
the first name of Dick" is MORALLY
wounded, or is perhaps dead as we
write this. He was "a reckless sort of
II man during his life, and was, as
most such men are at bottom. good
hearted. His career had been marked
by many viciSsitudes. In 1854 nc
was In the US. Navy, Il foretopman
of the steam frigate Mississippi. In
those days he was given to freaks of
recklessness, more frollcsome than
otherwise, and on one occasion was
punished for participating in Il prize
fight on the nrlop deck. He also en-
joyed the distinction of being fire.
queatly courtmartialed, and when he
WAS discharged at the Charleston
Navy Yard his pay had been stopped
so many times for breaches of the
ships rules that only a few dollars
were coming to him. His comrades
liked him so we'll, however, that they
contributed their odd change in get
ting paid to him, and he left the SER
vice with quite little SUN.
Soon after being discharged from
the navy Paddock opened saloon in
New York CRY. and c nducted it
successfully until. getting into u row
