From the Virginia Chronicle of June ath.l
Last evening, at about half-past o'clock,
one Of those sad accidents which seem nn-
avoidablc in on mines, occurred at the
Gould 4 Curry, resulting III the death of
three men named Victor Berna, James
Fogarty and Jediai Paul. The men were
overcome and suffocated by the heat. in
the winze leading from the 1900 to the 1909
ievel.
HOW THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED.
The particulars of the accident are as
fbilows: A donkey pump had been left IN
the 1900 level, and five men were sent down
for the purpose Of bringing 1t up. This
pump had boen disconnected and left by
previous shift Of men in readiness TO be
loaded upon a giraffe that runs in the
yinze. The 1900 level IL very close and
hot, the thermometer marking upwards OF
f35 degrees. After the men got the donkey
pump loaded upon the giraffe, they were 80
completely exhausted that they felt il
would be certain death to remain longer,
and they all started up the incline, assist
ing themselves by clingfng to the cable at
tached TO the giraffe.
CLIMBING FOR LIFE.
As they ascended they continued to grow
weaker and finally james Fogarty was
completely overcome and fell senseless.
There was no possibility OF saving him, as
the Others we're rapidly becoming helpless,
aud they pat forth every energy TO save
their o.n lives II was with the greatest
.sli.aeulty that the four remaining men sue
ceeded in reaching the 1900 level where
they arrived almost speeehiess and ii was
some little time before they weFsHsble 10
give the details Of the accident, and infeTm
the other miners that Fogarty had been
left below Three Of these men were i'm
meiiatety sent TO the surface, aud even
when they reached the fresh air they were
so weak and confused that they seemed
scarcely to realize where .hey were or
what had occurred.
WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN.
Hal it been possible for them all 10 have
got upon the giraffe on top Of the donkey
pump, they could easily have been brought
up. as the engineer in charge Of the small
hoisting engine, al the head Of the winze on
the 100 level, stood waiting for signal
from them for upwards Of half ah hour,
and the first intimation he had Of the dis
astcr was when the exhausted men appeared
climbing oat at the top Of the Wine.
WHO THE DECEASED WE'RE
Jam : Fogarty was a native Of Ireland,
and about As years Of age. He leaves
wife and two children in this city. Hewas
an uncle Of the wife of Mr.. Perkins, the
well known druggist in this city. He
worked few shifts jn the Con. Virginia
mine last month"; and had only been at
the Gould 4 Curry mine few days.
Victor Berna was q nsssve Of Switzerland
About two years ago he suffered the loss Of
ono eye by an accident in the Con. Virginia
mine. He was a young man and unmarried
M was also Jediah Paul. Both Of these
men lost their lives in generous attempt
to save the life OF Fogarty.

False Economy I'm the Central Park.
The Park Commissioners have decided to
remove Mr.. Olmsted, the Superintendent
of Parks, and abolish his Office. There is
no question as to Mr.. Olmsted's fitness
and accomplishments, these being SO ad-
mirably attested by the beauty of the
Central Park that it would be ridiculous to
dispute them. The pretence is that the
Park, having been laid out and planted,
nothing remains to be done only to
keep it in order, and that there is no
need of maintaining an expensive artist
tor this purpose. It is asserted by
majority of the Commissioners that Mr..
Olmsted's Office has become a sinecure
since the completion of the Park, and that
the salary paid to him for maintaining
slight superintendent had better be ex-
pended for necessary laborers. There is O
superficial plausibility in this view, but
nothing is more certain than that the Park,
whose loveliness cxcites the admiration of
all visitors, will steadily degenerate when
it is surrendered into the hands of mere
business men and laborers. Within few
years it will become so shabby and vulgar
lied that it will cease to be the pride of the
city. Such work is never finished. To be
sure, q great deal depends on the original lay
ing out, as there does in picture on the de-
sign and drawing; but the Park is picture
which needs constant retouching, and if the
new touches are not laid on by the trained
hand guided by the trained taste of an artist
its beauty will in few years become
blurred and defaced. There would be as
much sense in dismissing Sherman, Sheri-
dan and all the higher officers of the army in
time Of peace and retaining only corporals
who have learned the drill, and common
soldiers, as in dispensing with an accom-
plished landscape gardener for great orna-
mental work like the Central Park.

Ell Combate, the Terrible.

Seilor Zamacona, in his communication
published elsewhere on the subject Of the
bombastic article in FL C0mbate, makes too
much of very trifling matter We pub
lished the effusion merely as a curiosity,
and not because we believed it indicated
the tone of Mexican POPULAR feeling toward
the United States. 1t was simply a very
absurd and amusing fanfaronade, which
could only make Americans smile. Senior
Zamacona must not allow his sleep to be
disturbed by the effect of the article in El
Com6ate on the American temper. There is
not the slightest possibility that war with
Mexico will grow out Of it's publication. At
the same time if SeiIor Zamacona shall be
able to establish that some border ruffian"
has imposed on the credulity of our Texan
contemporary and the American public i'll
general we will be glad to publish what he
may present regarding this question. 1t
will certainly be to the honor OF Mexico to
establish that no such idiotic production
as the article attributed to FL Conabote was
ever printed in Mexican journal.
The New York herald., 1878-01-12
Gathering and Wasting.

The report of the committee of the Mu-
ing contains statement based on the off,
cial returns of the Street Cleaning Bureau
which furnishes a convincing proof of the
criminal extravaganza with which that de-
partment has been administered We refer
to the returns of the number of loads of
street dirt and ashes collected during the
three weeks ending December 15 In that
time 1856 loads of street dirt and 43, 994
loads of ashes were'gathered by the bureau
employees. Deducting from the ashes ten
per cent for garbage there remains the i'm
mense quantity of nearly forty thousand
loads, equal at low estimate to about that
number OF cubic yards of ashes. This has
market value, when clean, as filling or for
street grading, fully equal to that of clean
earth or sand. Indeed, for bedding pave
ment it is superior to either. Sand for such
purposes is worth in New York at least
seventy-fve cents per cubic yard. Hence
there has been nearly thirty thousand
dollars worth of superior filling and
grading material wasted by. the bu-
reau in three weeks. We do not over
estimate its value in the least.
When the garbage filing was dumped
on the Harlem fats the contractors were
paid by the city, under contract, over fifty
cents per yard for filing, yet the Police
Board sold the ashes befouled with garbage
for about ten cents yard to the contractors.
This villanous compost was used for filing
lots in Harlem, and even for grading the
extensions of the avenues up town. If the
street cleaning officials were not wholly
lost to every sense of duty to the city, and
the Department OF Public Works was not
equally blind to its moral obligations, all
this filling could have been deposited free
of cost to New York and the street clean
ing carried out properly at the same time.
We may fairly estimate the value Of street
dirt as manure at fifty cents per cubic yard.
The garbage, if properly cared for, is GER
tainly worth one dollar per cubic yard
measured in carts. Here, then, we have
matter collected by the Street Cleaning Bu-
reau during three weeks equal in value to
forty thousand. but let us say twenty thou
sand dollars, wasted in the first instance,
and ON additional twenty dollars per scow
load paid for the privilege of wasting it into
the bargain. Can the Police Commissioners
and their employees deny this statement? !?
If they do their audacity fully equals their
culpability.

How tho Mails Are Used.

Those Of our citizens who use the mails
only as a means Of corresponding with their
absent friends. whether on business in
friendship or for the exchange of more ten
der sentiments, little know to what pur-
poses our post Offices are sometimes put.
The catalogue Of articles that have accumu-
lated in the Dead Letter Office at Washing
ton, through the misdirection of letters or
from other causes, and which are to be offered
for sale in that city next week, affords some
idea of the sort of correspondence" car
ried on by some persons through the mails.
The list starts with zone dozen needles"
Whether these were sent by some stricken
sharpness of his affection, or whether they
came from q husband to wife as O re-
minder that his lost buttons were neglected,
does not appear, and is, of course, left to
conjecture. Some ''small saws" may have
been designed to indicate severance of
ceeded from some deceived lover. who de-
sired to indicate the ease with which prom
ises might be made to fly away. We cannot
imagine for what "six erasers" could have
been sent, unless as hint that the sender
would like to have all his past correspond
comb" may have been meant as q
sort of sanitary warning to some suitor too
neglectful of his personal cleanliness.
Porous plaster" may have been intended
to convey the pledge that the sender was
resolved to stick to his or her bargain. A
''magnet" was, perhaps. q complimentary
allusion to certain attractions. ''False hair
and "elastic stockings" no doubt were sent
by some jealous female to n rival, or by a
discarded suitor to the former object Of his
attentions. Photograph of currency" was
probably addressed to one or other Of the
Ohio candidates for the United States Sena-
torship. We sympathize with the sender Of
a ..feyer thermometer" which may have in
dicated the terrible condition of person of
either sex on the rack OF uncertainty.
''Pair of mittens" is very significant en-
closure, and we pity the individual for whom
they were intended.
There are numerous other suggestive
articles in the list, such as ''court plaster" I"
medicine case" ''fish line and hooks"
"scissors," ''dress elevator" ''iron shoe
heels" "bed spread" Sewing machine
attachments" 'blank cartridges" "cork
extractor" and the like, each of which may
bear its own significance. Then we find in
the catalogue 'pigs' feet, canned" which,
on the principle underlying tho famous
breach of promise case of Bardell against
Pickwck, may have had rs momentous q
meaning as "chops and tomato sauce"
We also come across ''religious materials"
and 'three miscellaneous articles" but we
are puzzled to place construction on
these without knowing exactly what the
materials and articles are. OF course every
body will understand the significance of
the transmission Of 'lover's telegraph"

Oxford's Challenge to COium b ia.

If Columbia's crew which rows at
Henley is the champion four Of the Ameri-
can universities, four from the Oxford Uni
versity eight will challenge them, and. if
beaten, then four from the Cambridge eight.
But Columbias crew is not the champion
four Of the American universities, and, un-
fortunately, between now and their depar-
ture for England in May it will hardly be
possible to decide what crew is entitled to
that honor. The Columbia crew has not
beaten single university four here. This,
to be sure, is no fault of its own, but still
the fact is the same; SO that the English
universities need not be in the dark on this
point ut all. 1t is extremely unfortunate
that Columbia, Cornell, Harvard and Yale
did not meet last summer and decide which
il our best university four, as the March
meeting at Putney will which is the best
British university eight. When Harvard
and Yale broke up the general university
race and got off in corner to have it out
alone they were very plainly reminded by
the HERALD Of the effect of their narrow and
short-sighted policy on American university
rowing, particularly under circumstances
such as have just arisen. Now, when for
the first time the English universities do
the challenging, that policy leaves us all
uninformed as to who can best represent us.
On the short Henley course of one mile two
and half furlongs Columbia can do well,
but on the four mile and three furlong--
tO 1oG c1y IN, a.,
record of the present team makes it certain
that they can accomplish anything extraor-
dinary. If there is an American university
four fit to send to Putney it can probably
be found among the Harvard eight, but
even they would probably do much better
a year hence. Before Columbia undertakes
the task she ought at least to beat Harvard.

The Grant-sumner Controversy.

The result shows that we were not mis-
taken in supposing that the publication of
Mr.. j. C. Bancroft Davis letter would cause
quite futter among Mr.. Summers friends.
Mr.. Wendell Phillips has delivered himself
on the subject with his customary liveliness
of statement and epigrammatic point; and
now comes Mr.. Alley, former member of
Congress from Massachusetts, with con-
tribution, not of cavils but Of real informa-
ton, some of it OF great interest. Mr..
Alley was in Washington at the time Of
those events he was in London on the ar
rival of the mail which brought Mr. Sum-
ners great speech on the Johnson-Claren-
don treaty which gave it the coup de grace;
lie was on terms of friendship and intimacy
both with General Grant and Senator Sum-
ner, and listened to q great deal Of their
detracting talk about each other. Moreover
he had conversations at the time with nearly
all the distinguished men in Washington
who had opportunities for knowing the
facts MIR. Alley is therefore competent,
valuable and, we must add, very inter-
esting witness. Whether he has shed
important new light on some portions Of
the history is point on which judgm ents
will differ according to previous antipathies
or prepossessions. The most remarkable
thing about Mr.. Alleys statement is his
omission to take any notice of the extraor-
dinary memorandum inserted in Mr.. Davis
letter to the HERALD, q document which
has been widely commented on throughout
the country in tone of surprise, and, for
the most part, OF regret or disapproval. A
reply to Mr. Davis which passes over that
remarkable memorandum is like the play of
''Hnmlet" with the part of Hamlet omitted.
We are confident that the last word has not
yet been spoken on this interesting subject.
