A Maynard Husband River nipples
General Notes.
PARKERsuURG, February Is. 49, One
night last week certain married man
who belongs To one OF the boats now in
port. visited house OF il-iame in our
city, and during the night WAS. drugged
and robbed OF his watch and Overcoat.
The inmates OF the house denied all
knowledge OF the robbery until the mat.
ter was placed in the hands of an officer,
who visited the house ard demanded
the return OF the stolen property, when
it was at once returned to the owner.
No arrests were made, and out OF re-.
spect for the family connections OF the
hayward husband no names will be
given.
The river at this point is falling very
slowly. The Emma Graham was the
first boat up. Passengers and baggage
had TO be transferred to and fro by boats.
The Buckeye State is here but cannot
pass under the bridge until the water
falls. The water II higher now than IL
has ln;n for twenty.eight years. Much
suffering has been caused in this city
There are probably forty families thrown
out OF their homes by the flood and
many OF them compelled to seek refuge
in out.buildings without fires, glad TO
get even protection against the fierce
storm Of wind and snow.
At the rate the river is falling nov, it
will be several days before the dwellings
in the lower part OF the city will be free
from the water.
Hon. ID. II. Leonard, member Of the
Legislature from this county, left on the
Emma Graham for Wheeling. !.

THE STORY OF A CRIME.
Last Statement of Two Life IDsur-
ance "SPeculaTOrs', WHO Were
Hanged.

LEBANON, Pa May 2O.-The last chapter
In the celebrated Raber murder case has
Just been completed, and the most impor-
tant link in the whole story has been sup
piled by the confessions of Israel Brandt
and Josiah Hummel, two of the conspirators
who were hanged for their completely in the
crime of the 18th of May of last year.
Six persons were tried for having caused
the death OF old Joseph Raber to secure the
insurance effected upon his life, amounting
to S11 600. Charles Drews, Frank Stichler,
Henry Wise, Josiah Hummel, Israel Brandt
and George Zechman were the conspirators,
of whom Zechman alone escaped conviction,
having been acquitted on q second trial.
The others were hanged. Brandt aud Hum
mel made confessions, which they placed in
the hands of their spiritual adviser, Rev. G..
f. Trabert, and Col. j. P. g. Cobin, of this
place, their counsel, with the request that
publication be withheld for one year. The
confessions have just been brought to light
In accordance with this request.
Brandt accuses Henry Wise and George
Zechman as having been the principals in
the conspiracy and says that Zechman ask
ed Drews to do the killing in his presence.
Wise held insurance on Raoer amount
ing to $1l 900. Brandt charges that Mrs.
DreWs was rF1oed to testify IN favor of
Zechman at the trial, aud gives as his ree-
son for having his confession withheld for
one year that it implicated Zechman, whom
he was desirous should be given a chance
to get out of the country. Hummel says
that Wise was the instigator of the scheme,
ard that Zechmau was the chief
abettor Wise and Zechman sent him to
Drews to order the latter TO kill Raber.
Drews was not at home, and the work was
postponed. Drews subsequently demanded
81, 500 for doing the job, which sum was
refused, and Hummel thought the whole
matter had been dropped. The confessions
were made by Brandt and Hummel two
weeks before their execution. Contrary to
general expectation, the confessions impli-
cate no others than those originally charged
with the crime.

ENTOMBED IN A MINE.
DISASTROUS "CAvE" IN DAKOTA.
Tremendous COneussiOn of Air
Men and TImbers ID Hurled Through
Tunnel - Several Killed and
WOunded-Nine Men Buried and
Talking TO the Rescuing Party.

DEADwooD, May 20.-A cave occurred at
the Golden Terra mine, at Terraville, at
seven O'Clock last evening. Seventeen
persons were in the mine. The night shift
of sixty men were just coming on, but only
about twenty had entered the tunnel when
a mass of earth fell in at a distance Of
nearly two hundred feet from the mouth,
tearing and throwing down timbers at a
fearful rate for one or two hundred teet.
One man. named Thos. Green, was thrown
by the conclusion of the air nearly eighty
feet out OF the tunnel against the side of
the wall of the open cut and killed instantly.
Two Others were blown right through the
tunnel towards the Highland Mine, at Lead
City. One escaped and another was struck by
timber and died last night. Eleven were
buried under the debris.
The cave is supposed to be about $50 feet
long, 100 wide and so feet deep, and it oc-
Cured directly over q large ore chamber,
completely filling it. A large number of
men went to work from all directions, but
the cave IS so extended that it will take
the tunnel. The men who were working at
the cave heard Farley, one of the impris-
oned miners, talking last night. He said
the timbers had fallen on him and there
was no hope for him.
LATER Word has been received that
Farley and Beatty have been taken out of
the cave, the one being dead, and the other
dying a short time after being released.
There will be no detention in the operation
OF the mine.
Dispatches just received say nine men
still remain in the mine, and that the miners
working there can talk with them. It isex-
pected that all of them will be gotten out
alive this afternoon. The affair, which can
not be explained, has created great excite

LONDON, May 20.-Iu the House Of Lords
last night Earl Granville, Foreign Secretary,
replying to a question, said that Russia,
with the support of Germany, recently pro-
posed conference of the powers with the
view to joint action against assassination.
From no sympathy with Nihilism, he said,
Her Ma1estY's Government declined
to participate in the conference, believing
1t would have no practical result, and that
for the government to join 1t would not be
agreeable to Parliament or the country.
That refusal, however, being made, 1t is
more incumbent on US to use all the means
which our own laws put at our disposal for
furnishing persons guilty OF melting to
murder, and he believed these means would
be found adequate.
Lord Salisbury, speaking at a banquet
last night and referring to the land bill, said
1t would be better that the House Of Lords
should cease to exist than that its function
should be merely to conform to the decisions
of the House of Commons. The Lords, he
said, would treat with respect any mstured
decision of the Commons, but there are
cases not unknown of the House of Com
mons being at variance with the opinions of
constituencies who erected it.
A Priest named Shechy has been arrested
at Kilmalock, county Limerick, under the
provisions of the coercion act; also local
auctioueer, an hotel keeper and the Secre-
tarY Of the Land League. Military and
police are quartered in the town, which Is
almost in state of siege.
The Times in its leading article says:
"The majority in favor of the government
on Lord Elcho's amendment to the land
bill represented foregone conclusion, re-
sisted by only few resolute sticklers fol
economical orthodoxy. and few passionate
opponents of the Ministry. The division
Commons has made up its mind that {
measure on The lines proposed by Mr.. Glad
stone is inevitable"

suRvEYoRsHIP AT ATLANTA.
Cause of Mrs GarDeld's Illness.

The illness of Mrs. Garfield, the wife
of the President, has drawn attention
anew to the deplorable condition of
the Potomac flats, not far from
the White House. There is little
doubt that when Mrs. Garfield went
to the White House she was not only
frail, but she had in her Ohio home
for months undergone strain which
few American ladies could stand. She
pleasantly and unostentatiously enter
tanned the people whom her husband
invited and who were naturally ex-
pected to visit Mentor; but in addition
she was compelled by force of
circumstances to receive rabble of

that for almost half year this modest.
home loving lady had no home. When
she went to the White House she
went to a place where malaria reigns,
and where she has become dan
gerously i'll. During the few weeks
in which she has been known
as the first lady of our country, she
has attracted the affection of a greater
number of sincere people than usu-
ally give their hearts to wives of
men in power, and at the same time
has, by her modesty and happiness
of disposition, won the admira
ton of seekers of society Her name
has escaped frequent mention until now
that her illness Is announced. to the great
sorrow of all persons in the land, every
one of whom earnestly wait for word of
her recovery.

PHILADELPHIA, PA, May 20 The steam
ship British Queen, from Liverpool, reports
that when five days out she fell in with the
wreck Of the German bark Norma, from
Dsrien, April 11th, for Berwick on Tweed,
with q cargo of pitch pine. The Norma
had been dismantled in furious gale on
May 9TH and was rolling waterlogged with
ten feet of water in the hold when
sighted by the Queen. Her crew of
eleven men had worked manfully at
the disabled pumps to keep the ship sflOat
aud were nearly exhausted. Captain Ber-
pecker. of the Norma, asked to be towed
into Liverpool, but this being impossible,
he asked for help to put his vessel in good
condition. An examination revealed the
fact that she was in dangerous condition,
and her crew refusing to stay longer with
