The Terrible yirgintus Mine Dis
aster.
DENvER, Dec. &c. Further particulars
Of Fridays terrible disaster at the Vir-
ginius mine, near Ouray, have just been
received by q special messenger to Mont
rose. Immediately on receipt OF the news
. party consisting thirty-one left Ouray to
bring in the dead. The journey to the
mine was made in the face of great perils,
as q terrible storm was raging. Having
cared for the wounded and improvised
sleds for the dead, the party started to re-
turn. When the Cumberland Basin was
reached a second snow slide descended,
but being on the lookout all succeeded in
reaching the edge of the avalanche before
it struck them, and thus escaped instant
death. The sleds containing the four dead
bodies were carried 200 feet down the
mountain side, and then hurled over a
precipice 500 feet high, where they must
remain till Spring. The party finally
reached Ouray nearly dead from ex-
haustion.

GALVESTON, Texas, Dec. ga McDade
special last night says: At midnight
Henry Pheiffer. Wright McLamore and
Thomas McLamore were taken from a
saloon here by fifty well-masked men and
carried into the brush and were hanged to
a tree. Thomas McLsmore was under ar
rest, having been taken early in the even
ing ON Q charge of burglary, preferred by
s. j. Walker Of this town. The other two
happened to be present when the lynchers
arrived. Pheiffer was under indictment
az a horsethief in this county. To-day six
friends and relatives of those hung came
to town and picked . quarrel with Tom
Bishop and George Mellon. A fight with
shotguns and s~ix-shooters ensued. Two
citizens of Sextelle, Jack Bayley and Asa
Bsyley, were killed, and Hayward Bayley
badly wounded. The remaining three
escaped. Willis Griffin, an estimable
young citizen Of MoDade, while assisting
Mellon and Bishop to defend themselves,
was shot through the head and mortally
wounded by Hayward Bailey. The corpses
Of the two McLamores, two Bayleys and
Pheiffer are lying in the market-house as
yet unclaimed. 1t is thought that their
friends will come tonight and the trouble
will be renewed.

been received from McDade. It says
there has been no trouble last night or
this morning, and it is thought there is NO
immediate danger of more bloodshed, but
there is still considerable excitement.
Many citizens in this county and town
are armed with rifles. They propose to
keep things quiet. Two companies OF
militia arrived this morning. The Breham
Grays, numbering 100 men, and the John
son Guards Of Hampstead, numbering %
men, were not needed, and returned home
at 9:35 A. M. Stevens, another Of the six
desperadoes who raised the street fight
and subsequent lynching, has been cap

coming trade dollars into standard, and
