Judge Geddes, whose name has become
household word in Ohio political cir
cles, from the fact of having made gal
liant fight in a strong Republican dis
trict last fall, and turning the tables
where majOrities were counted by thou
sands, arrived in the city last night, and
is guest at the BOOdy. His name has
been prominently mentioned in connec-
tiOn with the candidacy on the Demo-
cratic ticket for Governor of Ohio, and a
strong current has set in in his favor.
His popularity in his own district, where
he was known, and where he turned a
Republican majority of 280O into DEM
Ocratic victory of nearly 200O, requires
no further evidence. He is evidently
one of the strong men in the Democratic
party of Ohio to day. In appearance, the
Judge reminds one very much of Abra-
ham Lincoln, with the same manly open
cOuntenance, a man with whom one in
stantly feels at home, frank, generous,
hOspitable. A large number of our citi-
zens have paid their respects to the Judge
to-day. He will remain at the BOOdy
House until tomorrow morning, and
those who make his acquaintance will
not forget it.-TOledO Bee, 9th ult.

DEFENSE IN THE HouCK TR1AL

DELAWARE, o., April 30.--In the Houck
trial this morning the court room, as
usual, was densely filled. The prisoner
was brought In handcuged to the court
constable. Detective Norris and family
were in attendance and aided the prose-
cution in every manner possible. The
twelfth juror was accepted by both sides.
No sooner was the jury box filled than
the question of law in the case was
taken up. Major Blackburn asked the
court to quash the Indictment and allow
the prisoner to be discharged, claiming
the court record showed no indictment
whatever against the prisoner.

with expressions of love and affection
for the grand old Democratic party

the nature of the laws passed by it the
unfitness of the party to manage public

FRIGHTFUL MINE EXPLOSION,
Three Men Killed Outright and Others
Fatally Injured.

RhthAly
ASHLAND, Pa, April 30.-A fearful ex-
plOsiOn has just occurred at the Key
stone COllieTy mines, by which several
lives have been lost and number Of
miners seriously, probably fatally in
jured. The explosion was caused by the
sudden collapse of pillar, causing an
immense fall of coal. The rush of coal
forced down the gas with such velocity
as to cause an explosion. The full ex-
tent of the disaster cannot yet be learn
ed. Great excitement prevails at the
mouth of the mine, where people gath
cred in large numbers. Charles Tyler,
Patrick Regan and COney Waters have
been taken out more dead than alive.
The dead body of Andrew Jones has Just
been taken out. Three others are known
to be killed. number OF Others are
badly burned. Physicians and priests
are hurrying to the scene of the dis
aster.
The explosion killed August Welcher,
Patrick Reagan and Andrew Jones, and
seriously wounded Charles Tyler and
COney Waters. The explosion was
caused by the sliding of pillar which
pushed large body Of gas in contact
with the lamps of the miners, The
force of the explosion was terrific. One
of the injured will probably recover.
Had the men eXtinguished their lamps
when the pillars ran" they would have
been able to escape. The mine was
much damaged.

THE STAR ROUTE CASE.
Bliss Begins His Argument for the Gov
ernment.

Bliss Begins His Argument for the Gov
ernment.
WASHINGTON, April 3O.-When the star
route trial opened to-day IngersOll an
nOunced that he was willing to submit
the case to the jury for the DOrseys,
provided the Government counsel would
agree to proceed no further with the
argument. The court then wished to
hear from the Government. Merrick
answered that the Government had not
yet completed opening the case. "That
Is enough" said Judge Wylie, and Bliss
began his address to the jury. He de-
clared that the defense had failed to
contradict those called by the Govern
ment. He believed the court would in
struct the jury that IL the defendants
withheld the evidence in their possession
it was the duty Of the jury to infer facts
unfaVOTable TO the persons who held
them. The Government had not been able
to get the books. As to the excuse that
they did not wish the Government to
pry into affairs not connected with the
case, it was shame, and they knew it.
Why should they fear to submit
index books to the Government m.
less they were ashamed of their con-
nectiOn with the persons named in it.
Or, perhaps, they knew the index would
reveal missing letter, the letter put
in evidence by the Government. Why
had they failed to produce Rerdell's ac-
count bOOksp Then there was BOsler.
He sat here from day to day; he was the
man to whom Dorsey had turned over
his entire mail business; he could have
told how the affidavits had been prepar-
ed, and which of the statements made
by Dorsey and Rerdell was true. He was
disinterested, certainly not interested
for the Government, and after the fail
ure Of the defense to call him to the
stand, 1t must be assumed that unless
he was able to fence with the truth, he
would have endangered their case.
OF John DOrsey's letter threatening
Rerdell with prosecution for forgery if
he harmed the other defendants, Bliss
remarked that it put John Dorsey in a
position of endeavOring to compound
felony. Walsh's testimony could not be
sneered away nor discTedited, because
he had civil suit against Brady. John
Dorsey had sworn that he relied upon
the honest Second Asst. Postmaster Gen
eral to correct any Inaccuracies in his
affidavits, said Bliss; and Brady had
sworn that he accepted the contractors
affldaVits as true regarding them as
honest men.
What an edifying state Of mutual conf
dence! Bliss then took up separately a
number Of routes, and pointed out the
inaccuracies Of the affidavits and the
enormous disprOpOrtiOn between reYe-
nue. and expenses. He quoted Brady's
comment UPON the Mineral Park route
"a great through rOute'O and sarcas-
tically observed that it ran through the
Treasury. Adjourned.

How He Paid for it with His worthless Life
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, May "A spec
ial from the Government works at Mus
sci Shoals, near Florence, gives an ac-
count of the lynching of George Ware,
colOred, who murdered a white boy aged
twelve, to secure $12. The boy had Just
been paid. After robbing the boy he
threw him eight times into the river,
but the boy swan back to the shore. Af-
ter amusing himself by throwing the
boy in the river, he tied him, beat out
his brains with a stone, and threw him
in again. A man on the opposite shore
witnessed the murder, but the river was
too wide to make his presence known.
description of the negro was given to
the jailOT, who arrested him. The same
night large crowd of lwOrkmen em-
plOyed on river improvements visited
the jail and demanded thelprisOner. 0W-
ing to the delicate condition of the jail
er's wife at the time, the mob was per-
suaded to dispense. This all occurred
on the Goth ult. Saturday night the
mob again visited the jail, carried the
jailer's wife to another house, then took
the prisoner and hung him to beam in
the depot building and Iiddled the body
with bullets. The negro confessed.
