FORCES HIS nornEn's NAME
And Derrauds his Employer out of Ter
Thousand Dollars.

BUFFALO, N. Y, March 27.-E. E. Bene-
dict, belonging to one OF the best families
in Buffalo, and who lately married o
wealthy young lady in New York, has
Just been arrested on charge OF defraud.
ing his employer out Of about $4,000.
The history OF the case is quite an inter
esting one. In 1878 Benedict began work
as bookkeeper for Mr.. Moses Smith,
banker. In the fall Of 1870 he met Miss
Alice Bassford. Of New York, daughter oi
prominent importing merchant in that
city. Later he asked for vacation, and
was allowed it. During his absence it was
discovered that his books were in bad
shape, and it was ascertained that he had
changed one check from sl4 to s2l4. A
thorough investigation showed that be
had been carrying on q systematic rob
berry OF Mr.. Smith, and his stealings
amounted to about $4,000. After these
startling developments were made the
young man was sent for when he returned
and, his transactions being made known
to him, he made q clean breast. and told
the whole story. As he was the only sor
OF widow, Mr.. Smith decided to give
him chance to return tue stolen money.
The youth signed paper, in which he
agreed to pay certain sums at certain dates
He then went to New York, where he
married Miss Bassford. After his depar
ture more OF his criminal acts were
discovered. It appears that previous tc
going on his vacation he had gone into
one Of our leading iewelry stores
and purchased two thousand dollar
worth OF diamonds on the strength OF hi.
mothers name. When this was learned
civil suit was begun against him, and the
diamonds were recovered. After returning
to New York several months passed, anC
nothing was heard from Benedict. Ht
was notified that his creditors here would
not wait much longer, but no answer wa
received. Then it was decided to give
him no further opportunity to elude hi:
dues, and he was arrested in New York
He gave bail in the sum OF $500. 1t IL
supposed that his parents will settle the
matter. He was member OF the Young
Mems Christian Association here, and wa:
teacher in the Sunday School In thii
city. The denouement in his case has oc
casioned much surprise here, as he wa
thought to be the prince OF honesty anC

Special Dispatch to the Intelligence.
Col. Ben Wilson left the city last night
for his home in Harrison county. He goes
there a Ia John Sherman, to "ix his
fences" but more particularly to see that
his political fences are put in good repair.
The Democratic Committee Of the First
district meets in Parkersburg on Wednes-
day next, the 3lst, to FIX the time and
place Of holding the nominating conven-
ton. The Colonel proposes to be on hand
to see that nothing is done to his preju-
dice. Your correspondent inquired Of
him before he left last evening as to his
prospects for the nomination. He seemed
to have no misgivings on that head. In
fact, he had no advices OF any one being
active in the field as a competitor.
Are there any embarrassing pledges out
standing this time, Colonel, that you know
OF, inquired your correspondent
''None," said the Colonel.
SIS this positively the last time that the
long suffering brethren will be called to
labor and to wait, or is their agony to be
indefinitely protracted?"
"well, as to that, said the Colonel, ~
am not prepared to express myself def
nitely. It is, however, quite probable
that will not bein the field again"
'That depends little on the next sena-
torial election, does it notH"
The Colonel smiled, looked meditative,
shrugged his shoulders and was reticent.
Your correspondent desired TO get an
expression OF his present financial views,
but he covered so much territory that it
was difficult to get down to an exact
point. The Colonel goes it strong on sill
yer coinage nowadays; iayors silver GER
tiicates to an indefinite amount; has his
doubts about the reliability of the present
specie payments; thinks the Democratic
National Convention at Cincinnati, will
take substantially the same ground as the
St. Louis platform OF 1876, and apparent
ly expects to use the most Of his old stock
in trade in his financial speeches in the
coming contest.

RIaekburn-A Union Democrat who
Wasn't Afraid 10 say what He Thought
WASHINGTON, March 27.-There is
great deal OF feeling between Southern
and Northern Democrats, and this has
been intensified in the House over the
tariff question. The passage at the night
session OF the House between Cofroth,
Union Democrat, from Pennsylvania, and
Blackburn, Of Kentucky, Of which men
ton was made in these dispatches, Is a
fair illustration Of this excited feeling.
Cotfroth makes an authorized statement oi
this encounter, which may possibly lead
to further complications. The statement
undoubtedly expresses the feeling Of ma
ny Independent Northern Democrats who
are restive under the somewhat dictatorial
spirit of their Southern allies. The incl
dent between Coffroth and Blackburn is
described by Coffroth as follows:
"I asked Mr. Blackburn" said Mr.. Cotf-
roth, ''if some arrangement could not be
made To- reach vote. He brusquely re.
piled that he had sent Mr.. Thomas Turner
TO the other side II understood him to say
to my 'mastersO with two propositions for
settlement. He then said that II we Penn
sylvania Democrats had doneour duty, In
stead OF turning traitors 10 our party, the
question would have been settled before.
He denounced Mr.. Randall as traitor to
his party, and said that the Republicans
were running the House. replied that
he knew better, and that Randall aud his
friends were Just as true Democrats as
could be found. Wordsgrew hot between
u.s." continued Mr.. Coffroth, "and he
finally denounced me as traitor to
Democracy. / retorted: That is untrue
and that I had never been traitor TO
my party or to my country. He de-
manded TO know II meant that he had
been guilty OF treason. replied
that this was exactly what meant, and
believed. added that he ought to have
been hanged for his treason. He threat
ened to strike me, and reminded him
that two could play that game. He did
call me liar, and then friends came be.
tv cen us. There might have been fight
II they had not interposed." Mr.. Cofroth
further said: ~ won't stand any bull
doing from Rebels. l am as good DEM
ocrat as any of them, and ! don't want
them TO accuse me Of treachery to my
party. l remember the fight We had in
their behalf in the Thirty-eighth Con-
gress, when the reconstruction measures
were under discussion. We did our very
best, and got them back into Congress,
and now they abuse US. When they &C.
cuse Randall Of treason to his party, they
appear to forget the magnificent fight he
made against the Force bill in the Forty
third Congress"

COAL MINE DISASTER.
Explosion Of Fire Damp in the Gas
ton Mines, Falrmont.
Two Miners KllIsd-othsrs Bruised and
Burnsd-FuIl Particulars Of the
Catastrophe.
FAlnNoyr, ". W., March es.

FAIRMoST, W. Va, March 9s.
Correspondence Of the Intelliseneer.
One of the saddest affairs that ever
happened in this neighborhood, occurred
yesterday Saturday about 8 So'clock, be-
ing a fire-damp explosion in the CASTOR
coal mines about two miles from this place.
As the mines are connected by telephone
with the office Of the company in town,
the accident was soon known all over the
community, and created the most intense
excitement. There were about twenty
flve men in the mine at the time Of the
explosion, and the first great fear was that
all had been killed or would be burned to
death, by what seemed to be raging FIRE
within. But one by one with bruises,
cuts and burns, all but two emerged
from what seemed a terrible
death. For the two who had not
got out the gravest apprehensions were
entertained, which have been only too
fully verified by the finding OF their
charred and bruised remains to-day.
Every effort was made to either rescue
them or find their bodies last night, but
It was impossible to enter the mine until
this morning. A current OF heated foul
air and binding smoke issued from the
openings for several hours. Several brave
men tried to enter, but were overcome by
the bad air aud driven back. An effort
was also made to rescue them by sinking
shaft near the place where they were
supposed to be imprisoned, but all, OF
course, was futile.
This morning search was begun with
the use OF safety lamps, and about 10
o'clock the body Of one OF the unfortunate
victims, James Reese, was brought out,
and at 8 o'clock that OF the other, James
Work, was recovered. They are badly cut
and burned, and some think must have
been thrown down the "heading," more
that one hundred feet.
The explosion took effect chiefly in the
"heading," where these two men were
working. The other men were In another
part OF the mine, which did not suffer so
much. In few days an opening would
have been made and good ventilation se-
cured. But, alas! the gaseous elements
would not wait.
Great praise is due the owners Of the
mine, who live here, Mr.. Jas. o. Watson
and Judge A. B. Fleming, for their efforts
in behalf OF the wounded and burned men,
OF this number there are two who are
severely burned. Hundreds have visited
the scene OF the explosion to-day. q.

all, is not to be built by quarrels among
those interested in lie completion.
What the editor Of the Independent needs
to do, is to get together the amount ap.
portioned to his own and neighboring
counties for the preliminary survey.
With such survey, and the information
It would furnish, this city might be
induced to invest in the enterprise.
With the present stock Of enliRhten-
ment 1t is doubtful whether another ten
thousand dollar subscription could be se-
curedin this city or county. 1t has been
hard polling to secure the one already ap-
portioned, and abusing the people by
whose aid it is hoped the road will be built,
will not help the matter any. Nor will
threats OF building the road on the other
side Of the river assist. The fact OF the
business is, nobody can be kicked
into building tho W. & P. R. R., and the
only effect Of an onslaught like the one
referred to, will be to provoke the response,
that people who have no outlet except by
water and who will not even contribute to
survey Of arailroad, had better stick to
water.
