And this is what one gets for mild and

nents oI the most distinguished regard the
ISrElLlGEScER forebore to say that in the
principal streets Of the Big Smoky small
mountains OF filth rear their shameless
heads above valleys Of dirt and rich table
lands Of compost, unstung by the corpora-
tons cold neglect-melancholy monu-
nents Of the bliss OF ignorance. Like the
ogre in the fable they don't know they are

people OI Wheeling that there are streets
dtier than their own-of which truth they
have not been easily convinced. Pittsburgh

HITE'S HEGIRA.
Death OF Celebrated outlaw of the
Jesse James Gang.

KANSAS CRY, No., March l6.-The death
Of Clarence Hite in Kentucky removes, ii
is believed, the strongest witness for the
State against Frank James, the surrendered
outlaw, now in Jail at Gallatin, charged
with the murder OF Conductor Westfall, OF
the Chicago, Rock Island 4 Pacific Road,
and Mcmillan, the stonemason killed OH
the night Of the Rock Island train robbery.
Hite, US is well known, was arrested in
Kentucky last summer by Henry Craig, Of
this city; Sheriff Timberlake, OF Clay Coun.
ty; Dick Lddle, at present a resident OF
Alabama, and Bob Ford. The information
upon which he was arrested was fur.
nished by Bob Ford, soon after the IA
nous raid over into Rsy county by
Kansas City officials in January, 1882.
Hite was an own cousin OF the James boys,
and was induced by the last named to join
the robber band. He was a mere boy at
the time, but his eldest brother, Wood
Hite, had for some time been looked upon
az bad man by the Kentucky officials in
which State the Hites resided. After the
Blue Cut robbery the two Hites returned TO
Logan county, Kentucky, but Wood Hite
aud Dick Liddle having had trouble, the
former returned to Missouri aud went to
the home OF the Ford boys in Ray county.
II was at this place that he was shot and
killed by either Liddle or Bob Ford, and
his body buried in an old well near the
Ford house. After the raid by the Kansas
City officers Bob Ford came over to Kansas
City one morning, aud at the police sta.
tion, confessed to Chief Speers that, on
the night OF the raid, Dick Liddle es
capped from the house by rear door; but
was in bad condition from wound in
the leg received during the fight which re.
suited in Wood Hites death. Bod Ford
also at the same time gave the names ofall
the members OF the James boys gang who
took part in the Winston and Blue Cut
robberies, and told how Wood Hite had
been killed and where he was buried. He
also told where Clarence Hite could be
found in Logan county, Kentucky. From
that confession, made to Chief Speers by
Bob Ford, came the surrender Of Dick
Liddle, the capture OF Clarence Hite, the
death OF Jesse James In 81. Joseph, and
the surrender OF Frank James to Governor
Critlenden. When Clarence Hite was ar.
rested in Kentucky he was confronted with
the strongest kind of evidence regarding
his presence at Winston, and upon being
taken to Gallatin he entered plea OF
guilty, and was at once sentenced TO the
Missouri Penitentiary.

LONDON, March l0-ll A. M.-There is
an enormous crowd gathered at tho scene
OF the explosion last night in the local
government offices in Westminster. The
Government Inspector has made an ex-
animation OF a portion Of the building
damaged by the explosion and places Il Q
loss at $4,000, The vessel which contain, d
the explosive material was placed in the
cellar Of the local government offices.
The Times says il the Irish extremists
are really going to reply with dynamite TO
any measure theydisapprove Of, it is certain
that the day Of remedial legislation is over.
Later and closer inspection shows that
the explosion occurred from the outside of
the building.
No arrests have yet been made in cor
nection with tho explosion. The polite
noticed nothing suspicious about the build
ing before the explosion occurred.
The Times this morning says in Man
chester, Leeds, Liverpool and London the
feeling Of the English workingmen to-
wards the Irish people, once sympathetic,
has become cold. 1t only depends on a
few more dynamite outrages to turn this
feeling into angry hostility which the
authorities will find very difficult to con-
troll.
The Government olarsa a reward OF one
thousand pounds for the discovery OF the
authors Of the explosion.
The reward applies to the attempt on the
