TERRIBLE EXPLOSION.
Several Men Supposed to Have Been
Killed.

PITTsBURG, January 9.-At seven
o'clock this morning, just after the
miners had descended into the Penn
sylvania Coal Company's shaft No. 4,
near this place, a terrible gas explosion
occurred near the carriageway by
which several men were supposed to
have been killed. There has been for
a few days great change going on in
few of the mines adjoining No. 4,
making itself visible upon the surface
by immense crevices, topping over
school-hOuses, dwellings, etc.
The gas forced itself into No. 4, and
when Peter Daley, mining boss, opened
the door leading to the old workings
an explosion took place that shook the
earth in that vicinity with terrific
force. The mining boss is burned ter
ribly and Patrick Lotus severely in
jured. The remainder of tho miners
were in another chamber and escaped.
The head-house was totally dismantled
consequently several hours elapsed be-
fore the scene of the explosion could
be reached. 1t will take probably two
weeks to get the shaft into working
order again.

4 Cape Way Fire,

Cape MAY, n. j., June l2-At 10
O'Clock this evening fire was discovered
in the new Columbia House, in course
Of erection, on Jackson street. The fire
broke out in closet on the third floor,
and among some laths on the first floor,
showing plainly that it was the work
of some incendiary. The mansard
roof, was covered with ftlting, was
entirely destroyed, and much damage
was done to the third floor. 1t is
impossible to learn the full extent of
the damage. The contractor states that
there is an insurance of $40, 900 on the
building, which will cover all loss.
The fire department, by its prompt
action, undoubtedly saved number of
cottages opposite the hotel, the wind at
first blowing directly toward them. A
terrific thunderstorm prevailed during
the fire, and greatly aided the tiremen
in saving the surrounding properly.

New York Murder.

One Of the most revolving and myste-
rious murders which has been commit
ted in New York City for a long time
was discovered at No. 140 West Forty
second street, on Wednesday morning.
Mrs. Jane i. de +. Hull retired soon
after II o'clock Tuesday night, and
about I o'clock Wednesday morning
she was found dead in her led in a back
room on the first floor, her arms pin
ioued at the elbows aud tied together
at the wrists, her feet bound tightly
to the sides of the he'd stead, bandages
tied tightly over her mouth and eyes,
and her neck and head swathed in por-
tions of an old dress and a shawl.
Valuable rings that she wore had
been torn from her fingers, and her
trunk had been rihed of her watch,
chain and other jewellery. No cltw up
to Thursday morning had beeu discov-
cred to the murderer or murderers.
Since that time the New York police
have made up their minds that the
murder of Mrs. Hull vas perpetrated
by one or more persons in the house,
and that the abstraction of the jewels
was not a robbery in fact, but was sim
ply intended to make it appear that the
crime was the work Of professional
thieves.
The police yesterday issued circu-
lar to pawnbroksrs, giving list of all
property stolen from Mrs. Hull's resi-
dence. Regarding the whereabouts Of
DR.. Hull on the night of the murder,
the police state that DR.. Hull spent the
evening before the murder at home;
that he retired at the usual time, and
was first informed of the tragedy be-
tween 7 and s o'clock the next morn
ing. DR.. Hull remains in the house.
Detectives have not been absent from il
since the discovery Of the murder, and
it is admitted by the police that DR..
Hull is under surveilance.
He was allowed perfect freedom in
the house, but the detective kept near
him constantly and seemed to watch
every movement he made. Their con-
duct was commented on unfavorably by
other occupants of the house, as the
police had admitted that there was nc
ground for suspecting him. The expla-
nation was said to be that Captain Viii
r liams was not entirely satisfied with the
theory that the murder has been com
mitted by bunglirg robbers.
He was inclined TO think, it was re,
ported, that there were some indications
that the murder might have been com
mitted by some one belonging to the
house. His theory was that Mrs. Hull
had been murdered before her limb:
had been tied to the bed. The flesh Of
her wrist and ankles were not discolored
as it would have been ifshe had been tieC
while she was alive, and none of the
knots in the fastening were drawn very
tightly. A singular circumstances was
the singing Of the dead woman's eye
brows. An ignorant person, 1T was said
would not have held a lighted candle tt
the eyes to see il lite was extinct.

WHAT MRS. WATSON HAS TO SAY.

Mrs. Watson, this afternoon, had a
proposition from George M. butcher,
through other parties, asking her to go
to Camden, while the investigation was
in progress. Mrs. Watson informed
Mr.. butcher that she emphatically de-
clined to accede 20 his request as she
considered it unjust to her womanly
instinct.
She claims that she also has q right
to be heard on the same question as
George NJ. butcher, and for this reason
she declines at present to leave.
Mrs. Watson says that she does not
propose to allow few reformed men to
dictate to her in relation to her future
plans and also as to where she shall go.
When she leaves this city she says
she departs on her own responsibility,
and will attend to her own lectur-
ing. She further claims that it
would be impossible for any committee
to vindicate him unless she too was
vindicated, and she characterized the
whole proceedings as unjust, unmanly
and an insult.

many could be made believe that the
man was not drowned, but instead had
received a slight ducking.
