In this crisp bright, invigorating Novom-
bcr weather comes tho football season. and
already the heavy kickcrs and swift runners OF
rival colleges are in tho field exciting the adj
miration and arousng the enthusiasm OF their
classmates. There is no danger Tint n boy who
joins football team will suffer from hard
study and tho reason Is not that he will
neglect his books. but that healthful outdoor
exercise will quicken his blood and stimulate
his brain.
1t might be q good thing for mon who have
become unduly excited over tho recent election
to kick q football for while. They would find
tho exercise wonderful cure for sore heads.

Just ut the time when President AITHUH's
THANKSGIVING proclamation brings tidings of
fatal import to tame domestic fowl. tho loud
and cNubcrant rooster adOrns tho columns OF
many OF our esteemed contemporaries Some
OF our Republican contemporaries wcre too
sudden in bringing out thoir birds and have
sent them back to tho coop. but tho Democratic
poultry show is large and successful. Some Of
the Democratic roostors look n little tough and
out ofcondition. as If thoy hadn't had enough to
eat in tho last few years. but on tho whole tho
show is credtablc. Not one of tho artists en-
poyed has failed to add u feather to his artistic
cap by his designs and few OF tho fowls de-
lincated would be mistaken by q poultry
loving public for q roe or n butterbump. For
strength OF artistic conception perhaps tho
LoujSrHle Co'0ier-.Io,Dwnrs designs arc the
most notable. but for originality Of arrange
ment tho Boston Globe's artist is surely entitled
to the cake. That Art should flourish amid
the hurly-burly Of politics is cause for Growing.

accident will have the effect of retarding
work az the mines, It In not believed 1t
will cause permanent discontinuance, as
a great deal of money has been expended
there by Northern capitalists, composing
the Southwest improvement Company
The mine in which the accident oc-
CURED is known as the Flat Top mine,
and is situated I'm the northeast portion
of Tazewell county, at the base OF Flat
Top mountain, which divide that sec
ton OF Virginia from West Virginia.
The company working the mine was
known as the Southwest Virginia I'M
provement Company, but the mines were
really under control of the Norfolk &
Western Railroad Company who have
branch road of the New River division
running from New River to Pocahontass
about sixty miles. John G. Ilsey, of
Pennsylvania, is President OF the improve
ment Company, and VIM. A. Lathrops
Superintendent.
WAITING.
PoCAHoNTAs, VA, March ID, A. NJ
Nothing in the way of rescuing the vic
Tins or searching for the dead is being
done at this hour, and nothing can be
done now. The entire mine is evidently
burning, and old miners say the bodies
win probably all be consumed.
CoFFINs.
A force of thirty carpenters have COM
menced to make coffins for the dead.
They are working in plateau to the
east of the drift and are surrounded by
torches. As the rude collins are COM
pleted they are distributed TO the forty
families who have Iounu
or think they have found some portion OF
the corpse of one of their relatives. There
have been several disputes about the
bodies as owing to their mangled con-
dition identification is exceedingly dihi"
cult.
THE CAUSE.
Nothing has been done In the way oil
ascertaining the cause of the disaster,
but 1t Is surmised that one of the miners
at work struck u gas hssurc, and that the
escaping gas ignited from his lamp.
NUMBER OF VICTIMS.
The company employ some $50 TO 400
men, but the best estimate Is that there
were in the mine l53 miners, besides
number of the camp or town officers
and bosses, bringing the number of VIC
tins up to nearly 100 persons. No hope
is entertained by anybody OF rescuing
any of the poor fellows.

A Desperate Dash for Liberty by Six New
Mex can Desperados Confined in Jail,
Results in the Death of Four of Them
and the killing of One of the Pursuing
Party-TwO Still at Large.
SILVER CITY, N. NJ, March IL.
While enjoying the freedom of the jail
yard for exercise yesterday, six desperate
prisoners Overpowered two guards, bound
them hand and foot, secured the key to
the shackles, released themselves, skir-
mished the Jail Office for arzls, and secur-
ing an ample supply, unlocked the jail
door and walked into the street. Their
names are Mich Lee, Kit Joy, Frank Tag
CART and negro, George Cleveland, the
quartette of Southern Pacific train rob-
bers who attacked a train at Gage Station
on November "a, killed Engineer Webster
and robbed the express car of 1885;
Carlos Chevez, sentenced to hang
for the murder of a Chinaman at Fort
Bayard, and Charles Spencer, alias
Charles Cummings, horse thief and muir
derer of Klein Stauber at Solomonville.
A few citizens saw the prisoners leave
the Jail, guns in hand, but appeared par
alyzed with fear. Crossing the street the
gang entered a livery-stable and ordered
| the attendants to saddle six good ponies.
! The escape was all well planned. The
| outlaws took time and quibbled about
the stability of the. horses brought out.
''Here's my old pony" said Mich
Lee. ''I know I can trust him; saddle
| him up" But five good horses could be
| secured, and Cleveland, the negro robber,
remarked he did not care to go any way.
''Oh, yes, you will," said Kit JOY; ''we
are going to kill you anyhow, but do not
care to do it right here. Get on behind
| Taggard,' and the negro did as he was
ordered. Cleveland had excited the ire
of his companions by yconfessiOn. Several
wild shots were fred at the gang by citi-
zens, but without effect, and they rode
out of town, returning the fire.
A citizen named Frank Jackson mounted
a horse and followed the outlaws, keep
ing them in sight and firing, in order that
the posse then organizing in town could
get the proper trail from the sound of his
weapon. The possee followed quickly
and gained on the jail-birds. Five miles
out of town they came across the body of
the negro Cleveland, with his head shot
off. Joy had kept his promise.
A few miles more of hard riding and the
| band was overtaken.
A battle ensued. Mich Lee and Frank
| Taggart were captured. Carl CheveZ, the
| condemned murderer, was killed, and
Kit JOY and Spencer, alias Cummings,
made good their escape, while Joseph
n LATER, one of the town posse and
q good citizen was shot and killed.
| Twenty minutes later the limp bodies
of Mich Lee and Frank Taggart, two OF
the worst young ruffians that ever work
ed the frontier, were dangling from the
limb of neighboring tree. The posse
then divided up and a deputatiOn fol-
lowed in the wake of Kit JOY and his as
sociate, while the bodies of Mr.. LATER and
the negro were conveyed to the city by
the others.
Before being strung up by the Silver
City people, Mich Lee confessed to hav-
ing fired the shot that sent Engineer
Webster to his long rest.

The following circular has been sent to all
United States Attorneys and Marshals:
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE,
WASHINGTON, y. c., March -, 1884.
To District Attorneys and MdrShdlS Of the
United States:
BY direction of the President l have to
inform you that it is reported certain per-
sons are aiding in the prosecution of hei-
nous crimes by shipping to foreign ports
explosives dangerous in the highest de-
gree to life and property. No proof has
been adduced that this rumor is founded
upon fact, and the President cannot believe
its truth. The honor of this Nation how
ever, requires it shall not be open to inn
putation, unfounded though it be, of the
slightest appearance of tolerating such
crimes whether to be committed against
our people or those of other countries.
Your attention is therefore called to sec
tions $3.50, 1854, 5,355 and 1879 Revised
Statutes of the United States, which reg
ulate the shipment of explosives, and the
punishment of those who infringe their
provisions, and you are instructed to be
diligent in your efforts to prevent the
offences described and to detect and
prosecute those who have or may COM
NIT them. Very respectfully,
BENJAMIN HARRIS BREWSTER,
Attorney-General.

mountain, and two curves of railroads, as
it winds upward to the summit of the
