THERE are stories abroad that two mem-
bers of the present Cabinet will bolt the Re-
publican ticketn next year if General GRANT
is the nominee. The eccentric Washington
correspondent Of the Philadelphia Star,
commenting on them, wants to know what
would become Of the Republican party if
all of the GRANT men in it would pursue
the same course in the event that some one
else is nominated? This impudent conun-
drum should be referred to the Bureau OF
Statistics, or, better yet, to some civil-ser-
vice examining board.

THERE is now contest in Kentucky over
the United States District Judgship, occa-
stoned by the death of Hon. BLAND
BALLARD. Among the prominent candi-
dates that have fallen under our notice is the
name of Hon. WALTER EVANS, who has
just emerged from n most gallant fight as
the Republican candidate for Governor, in
which he reduced the Democratic majority
by some 10000 from that of the former
gubernatorial canvass, Notwithstanding
10000 Republicans had gone over to the
Greenback party. Mr.. EVANS is a repre-
sentative Republican of the highest type
is an eminent constitutional lawyer-a man
of high abilities and attainments-of ster-
ling integrity and worth as a man and
citizen, and has the respect of every true
Republican in the State. His appointment
is urged by almost all the leading Republi-
cans in the State without exception, and il
would seem but fitting recognition of his
abilities and services for him to receive the
appointment

THE Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial takes the trouble to
deny the rumor that SHERMAN and BLAINE
have combined their forces to beat GRANT
in the nominating convention next year,
and adds that there is good ground for
the belief that GRANT is the second choice
of each of them" For that matter, the
correspondent might have also said that
GRANT is either the first OF second choice
of every straightforward Republican in the
country.

WAS there ever q year-a fiscal year, we

have been made as is contained in Commits

not lose a cent of the taxes collected by the

ELI Ice, an ex-Union soldier, who killed
an escaping rebel prisoner over whom he
was standing guard, during the war, is now
suffering imprisonment for life in the West
Virginia penitentiary. lie was tried after
the war closed for the killing referred to,
and although the fact was clearly proven
that the act was done under military law
and as an act of war, i. C., a soldiers duty,
he was convicted of murder under the State
laws and sentenced accordingly. In other
words, it appears that the United States
authority TO wage war was not recognized
by the judiciary of the Democratic State
of West Virginia. But, the question arises
can the General Government afford to over
look this cruel and unjust treatment of q
man whose only crime seems to have been
faithful allegiance to it.

TERRIBLE EXPLOSION.
Thirty Cinnamon Killed.

SAN Francisco, November lS.-An
explosion occurred in tunnel number
three on the narrow gauge railroad from
San Jose TO Santa Cruz, early this
morning From the meagre acc cunts
thus far received it appears that a
blast was let off about 200 feet from
the bottom of the unnel. which caused
an explosion OF the gas generated by the
filtering of oil through the roof and
sides OF the tunnel. Twenty-one China
men and two white men were
at work in the tunnel a
the time. Immediately more Cinnamon
rushed into the tunnel with torches TO
aid their comrades. When they mad
penetrated about 800 feet their torches
caused a second explosion, more vio-
lent than the first, shaking the mountain
to its centre, while two men, kimble
and Johnson, were brought out terribly
burned, and about ten Cinnamon, all
seriously injured. As nearly as can be
learned, some thirty Cinnamon are
killed.
The second explosion wrecked the
engines and works. Physicians were
dispatched to San Jose, and everything
possibly is being done for the sufferers.

MAINE ELECTION.
Anxiety of the Republicans as
to the Result of the Count.

AUGUSTA, ME., November lS.-A large
number OF Republican Senators and
Representatives supposed to have been
elected at the last election, applied TO
Council to-day for permission to ex-
anime the returns, but that body being
engaged took the application into con-
sideratiOn. The impression is gaining
ground that majority Of the Council
will prevent the Republicans from see
ing the returns until at least part
OF the twenty days has passed.
Ii is known that the returns
have all been tabulated, and that these
tables have been submitted with re-
port and accepted, but the tables them
selves are not on file but in the posses
sion of the committee, who do not con-
slider them as part tofthe record. 1t Is stat
ed the committee will submit their final
conclusion after the twenty days have
ELAPSED for correcting the errors IN the
returns. There is very little excitement,
and the Republican leaders claim that
conspiracy will yet be attempted, though
a temporary halt in the operations has
been ordered

OswEGo, n. ", November lS.-The

miles of Oswego when the lights were
lost. The steamer endeavored to hold
the fleet until daylight, but the sea and
gale scattered it. Thirty-One persons,
including three women and one GIRL
were drowned.

towed into this port to-day, was aban-
doned and half full of water. The engi-

THE OIL BOOM.
Heavy Advance at Oil City
Enormous Sales.

OIL CITY, Pa, November 1.-THE
business boom has struck the oil busi-
ness in earnest. The advance in prices
during the past week has been as uneX-
pected as i was remarkable, when the
unfavorable aspect OF affairs is taken
into consideration. The appreciation in
values is supposed to be largely attri-
butable to the investment OF enormous
amounts OF eastern capital.
In the Oil Exchange here to-day, the
excitement reached almost a panic, and
100000 barrels changed hands, nearly
one-fourth of which was bought for New
York capitalists. The market opened at
Sl.O93, advanced to Sl.20, dropped to
Sl.l5, advanced to and closed at Sl.274
bid. The assembly room OF the Ex-
change was crowded throughout the en-
tire day and the most intense excite
ment prevailed, together with an abund.
ance OF champagne. At the opening OF
the afternoon session, there was an ad-
vance of four cents without a single
sale.

An Odd Ceremony by Odd Fellows.

ROCHESTER, y. Y, November l6.-A
peculiar and interesting Odd Fellow
service was held here this afternoon.
Floral Lodge No. 2Sl became godfather
to and christened an orphan male in
FAINT, the son of Edwin and Mary Batter
son, both of whom died soon after his
birth, last spring. The mother was the
daughter OF wealthy parents in Brazil,
who disinherited her because OF her
marriage The child was born in New
York a year after the marriage. Subse-
uuentlv, Theodore Patterson, a promi-
nent Odd Fellow of Rochester, and COus-
in to Edwin, visited the parents and sug-,
gest ii that his circumstances warranted
nls adopting the child. Within few
DAYS both the father and mother OF the
child died, and Theodore fulfilled his
thoughtlessly-made promise, and in
formed Flora Lodge OF the affair. The
lodge resolved to become the Child's god
father, and at each meeting to subscribe
funds to be placed in the bank fer his
education. The boy was christened
Edwin Floral Patterson, with impress
sive services, conducted by Grand Rep
resentative John w. Stebbins and the
Rev. DR.. Asa SAKE. This peculiarly
romantic case is the second OF its kind
in the history OF American Oddfellow-
ship, a similar case having occurred IN
Chicago or st. Louis about - years ago.

Tragic Sequel to Last Weeks
Shooting Affray.

CArLErrsBURG, Ky, November H.
News came from West Virginia this
evening OF another shooting afray, in
which the actors were the Copleys and
4 man named Mark Thompson. 1t will
be remembered that Doc Copley's child
was shot last week by one HUFF, who
was in turn shot and wounded by Cop
lev. 1t seems that Thompson, who was
a party to that difficulty, was friend of
Hut. On Saturday Doc COpley, accom-
panied by his brother, went to Thomp-
sons house, which is on Bromley's Hill,
about ten miles from Cassville, and find
ing HIM in his house, shot him five
times. Thompson at last accounts was
alive.

The newly introduced fancies suffer
from the unwillingness of some of the
brokers to execute orders on the mar
gin. Ii is reported that 100000 shares
of Erie were sold on Saturday for the
account OF a prominent operator, and
surprise is expressed that the market
should have taken that amount OF
stock from such a source, and still have
been so well sustained. Money
was tightened again to-day in
the interest of the bears. Ii appears
that a large block OF Iron Mountain
stock which belonged 10 foreign bank
ers has been sold in this market in the
last few days. The evening papers here
generally are unanimous in the opinion
that the object OF the present raid upon
the market is undoubtedly TO secure
lacge lines OF stocks at as low figures as
possible, and that those who are now
seeking to depress the prices will soon
be found on the bull side of the market.
Some large operators were buying quiet
" this afternoon. The Western and

show a marked increase in their earn
ings.
