THE CONTENTS OF AN ONO MOUND
An Ohio mound was recently explored.
1t is located near the center of Morgan
township, is about 80 feet in diameter at
the base and six feet high, the top being
n level circle, 80 feet across. Investiga-
ton revealed that the mound was formed
chiefly of surface soil, and made wholly
on top of the ground. At the depth of
three feet a ring of ashes, five feet in
width and two feet deep was found, con-
tanning bits of charcoal. The diameter of
the ring is about 20 feet. In and about
this were found human bones that had
evidently been burned. Inside this,
lying on the very bottom Of the mound,
on the original soil, were found, in toll
cradle state of preservation, the skeletons
OF four full-grown persons, one OF them n
woman, upon whom lay the bones of a
well.developed infant. The bodies were
huddled together without any systematic
arrangement. The skulls were OF good
size and shape. Only the bones Of one
showed signs OF fire.

New York, January 25. - Nine.
Gerster, who refused to sing for Maple
ION last night TO the disappointment of
the citizens Of Baltimore, is said to be
at the residence of her brother, DR..
Gerster, of this city. She refused to
see any reporters. The Evening Post
has the following explanations: From
other sources it is ascertained that the
trouble between Nine. Gerster and her
manager was Of long standing. 1t rose
primarily from Col. Mapleson's back
wardness in paying Mime. Gerster
$1,000 for each time she sang. Re-
peated requests by DR.. Gardini, Nine.
Gerster's husband, met with the reply
that there was 40 money in the acade-
my's strong box, because PATHS agent
had taken it all out. To friends, DR..
Gardini told this story about a week
before he left: Madame Gerster was to
get $1,000 for each performance. She
has sung sixteen times and received
$4,000 in all. When 1 go to Col.
Mapleson for the rest, he shrugs his
shoulders and says: Mon cher garcon,'
which means my dear boy, Il have not
a penny; that wretch Frenchi has
taken it all, every penny, for Patti.
We make nc money on Gerster nights,
and If don't pay Patti, she will stop
singing, and then we shall have a jolly
time Of it and all starve together
Well, 1 consented to wait from day to
day, but when l heard that Col. Maple
son was building a boudoir car for
Patti, with silver ornaments and vel
vet carpets and bath rooms, I went to
him and asked when Nine. .Gerster was
to have a $4,000 railroad car. He
said he would have one built as soon
as the strike of the glass blowers was
over. 1 asked him for money every
day, but got lone. One day l got an
invitation to admire PATHS car, which
was at the Grand Central depot. 1 did
not go. Col. Mapleson is right in
calling this PATHS season; 1t is PATHS
season, for she takes all the money that
comes in"
1t is believed that negotiations are
still going On between Col. Mapleson
and DR.. Gardini, which may result in
a sudden cure of Master Gardini's
Group and the return of the prima
donna to Baltimore.
According to the Post, Col. Mapleson
explained Mime. Gerster's absence by
saying that she had received news Of
the illness of her child, who had been
attacked with Group in New York, and
she had taken the irst train for this
: city without giving notice TO any one,

sign Of a disturbance is to be seen. Glib

night and men are p~atrolling the streets.
Inspector Mcneil is still in the mine.
Last night there were many drunken
men on the streets, but tonight there
are none. The excitement appears to
have entirely subsidized.
Since the arrival of the state mine
inspector, no n vas allowed to enter
the mine except those employed In
searching for bodies. Little Tommy
Lyle, whose lifeless body was one of the
first found, was employed as trooper, or
door tender. He had his whistle in his

to his lips when the explosion occurred.

among the dead; his mother, Mrs.
Stewart, is left a childless widow, and
is al9ost crazed with grief. Another

ton In disc beying Pope's order. While
quoting from General Longstreet's tes-
timony Bayne was interrupted by Her
bert, who said he belonged to Long
streets corps. Wilcox's division was
deployed in line before noon, and he
never knew the reason of the delay in
being pushed into the fight until he
read the testimony in this case. He
did not believe Porter was a traitor to
his cause. If he did he would be the
very last man to excuse him.
The committee rose informally to
permit the speaker to appoint a confer
ence committee on the Greeley relief
expedition bill.
The committee then resumed its ses-
sion, and Keifer spoke in opposition to
the bill. He defended the members of
the courtmartial from aspersions for
their verdict, saying they were the peers
and more than the peers of the board of
review. He reviewed the case, quoting
from dispatches and letters to show
that Porter was disloyal to Pope be-
cause of the latter's loyalty to McClel-
Ian.
Ray, of New York, supported the
bill, asserting that charges were not
preferred against Porter till long after
The alleged disobedience of orders.
This statement was vigorously con-
tradict ed by some members and as Wig
orously reasserted by Ray. 1t was not
till after the removal of Mcclellan was
known to be determined on that the
charges were preferred.
Miller, of Pennsylvania. wanted to
know by what authority Ray asserted
that Pope had poisoned the mind of
the president.
Ray replied that he could prove 1t
beyond controversy from the records of
congress and by Pope's report. Before
the conclusion of Rays speech the COM
mittee rose.
The senate bill passed providing for
the immediate removal of the re-
mains of the late General Ord from
Havana to Washington.
The speaker laid before the house the
reply of the secretary of the navy to
a recent resolution, stating that he had
no knowledge of any service rendered
by American officers or men to the
British navy at the bombardment of
Alexandria. Referred.

He denied the statement that the bill

How the Feast of Dedication Originated
and Is Observed.

How the Feast of Dedication Originated
and Is Observed.
Tie Jewish "Hanuchah," or ''the Feast
Of Dedication" begins to-day. 1t is strictly
observed in all Jewish synagogues and fam
lies throughout the country. 1t is one Of
the greatest feasts Of the many observed by
the Jewish church. 1t lasts for eight days.
One of the peculiarities of its observance is
thatthe first night one candle is lighted and
an additional one each night during its con-
tinuance. In the synagogue large brass
lamp with eight branches, called the me
nora, is brought out, and, ike the candles,
one branch is lighted each night during the
celebration. Services are held in the
churches every night and morning, The
feast was established to commemorate the
dedication Of the temple after it had been
defile1 and DESTROYED by Antioethus Epip-
hanas, whose armies were overthrown BY
Maccabees Hasmoneans The origin Of
the eight lights is found in an old legend,
which dates back to the rebuilding Of the
temple after its destruction. When johann
nan, the High Priest, was clearing away
the rubbish of the temple he found cruise
Of oil which burned for eight days.
