RESCUING THE DEAD.
Entrance Gained to the Mine Where the
Fatal Explosion Occurred.

After everything was got in readiness
at Pocahontas on the 18th, the police placed
guard at the main entrance to the mine In
order to keep back the crowd, which was
being attracted by a notice posted that
bodies be claimed. The mining engineers
In charge OF the rescuing party entered the
mines to note the situation Of affairs.
When they emerged from the mines they
announced the damage less than was sup
posed, and little trouble was experienced In
the recovery Of the bodies of the victims.
The bodies, as recovered, were placed In
boxes on the inside of the mine and several
were brought out together on the pole car
A number OF miners who were we'll &C.
quainted with the victims were placed al
the entrance for the purpose Of Identifying
the bodies.
Many of the bodies were horribly
mangled, and some heads were blown off.
Others had their arms and legs torn from
the socket, while some had their entrails
torn out entirely. An arm and leg were
found in the main entrance, but the body
to which they belonged was not found.
A thrill OF horror passed through the
crowd as the rescuing party brought out
charred and disfgured remains OF miner,
with dinner bucket clasped in his hand,
probably just partaking Of his midnight
meal when the explosion hurled him into
etsrnity. Several miners were found with
picks in their hands, and the position Of
the men indicated instantaneous death to
all in the mine.
more bodies would be removed until 0
o CLOCK next morning. The remainder OF
the day was occupied in getting out the
carcasses Of mules, which being too heavy
to drag, had to be quartered and hauled
out. Very little excitement prevailed.

Trouble In Mexico.

A special from the City of Mexico
says the feeling against the recently enact
ed stamp tax is still very bitter and the sit
uation critical. Business is suspended in
many parts OF the republic and the mer-
chants generally are assuming very de-
termined attitude. 1t is reported that the
government intends to declare the act Of
the merchants in closing their stores revo-
lutionary and their licenses will be revoked,
and that they will be compelled to pay
heavily for the privilege of reopening their
stores. On the other hand, it Is stated
that the Mexican senate has passed to a
second reading the bill repeating the stamp
act, but as the government is not In sympa-
thy with this move 1t Is very doubtful
whether the bill will finally pass.

The Militia Withdrawn.

The Seventeenth regiment left Gin

tected by military. A detail of fifty extra
police, under Lieutenant Lsngdon, are In
charge of the Calling guns. Assistant
sheriffs and the First regiment Of militia
remain in readiness for a call. The riot
scare shows its effect in the sales Of seats at
the auction for the dramatic festival asso-
citation. A very small number of bidders
were present and only about 100 seats were
sold during the hour Of sale. The auction

THE SHARON DIVORCE CASE.
Great Commotion and Excitement in the
Court Room.

The court room at San Francisco,
during the trial of the Sharon divorce case
on the 9th, was the scene of great commo-
ton. Mrs. Sharon, witness for the de-
tense, was on the stand. Judge Tyler, at
torney for Miss Hill, was subjecting her to
severe cross examination, and said he
proposed to show that the witness bad
dined in disreputable places, and visited an
designation house with strange men. Mrs.
Sharon manifested intense excitement and
hurriedly put her hand in her pocket as If
to draw revolver, but was checked by the
counsel for the defense, who imp1ored
her to keep cool. During the excitement
which prevailed McCune Sharon, a man
about % years Of age and son Of the wit
ness, approached Judge Tyler, but was
stopped by the latter's son, who threatened
to shoot him down If he attempted to draw
pistol. Judge Sullivan ordered the wit
ness and son removed from the court and
Immediately after declared a recess. At
the opening of the afternoon session the
Judge refused to hear further testimony on
the case until assured that no one In the
court room was armed and would require
certificate of the policeman at the entrance
door to that effect.

MYSTERIOUS ROBBERIES.
Clergvman's Wife Proves to be fansEx-
pert Burglar.

Some two months ago the residence
of prominent citizen at Davenport, Iowa,
was burglarized, and the mystery sur
rounding 1t was hard nut for the police to
crack. Private detectives have been at
work, however, and If anything has been
discovered by them leading to clue it has
been rigidly kept from the public. On last
Saturday night the residence Of another
prominent citizen was burglarized in much
the same mysterious manner, a quantity Of
dresses and other things OF value being
taken. On this occasion concealment was
no longer possible on the part Of the perpe-
TRAITOR, as the person who committed both
thefts was the only one known to have been
in the house previous to missing the arti-
cles. The criminal, if such she can be
called, is lady, the wife of a prominent
clergyman, and her Snanner Of operation
was this: She would go to the residence Of
one of her husbands flock and pretend to
be tired or sick and ask to lay down. Being
the wife Of a minister, nothing was thought
of this, and the freedom OF the house was
accorded her. When she had rested and
gone, the household found that many of the
valuable articles of clothing had gone also.
The police were notified in this instance
and upon visiting the residence of the d.
vine all the missing articles were found,
together with those pilfered from the resi-
dence Of the first mentioned individuals.

SHILOH'S BLOODY FIELD.
Survivors of That Dreadful Carnage Visit
the Heroic Spot-Commemorative
Exercises Held in the Old Gem
etery by Veterans of
Both Armies.

The day broke bright, mild and
beautiful over Shiloh on the 7th as the
steamers John Gilbert and W. f. Nibit
lashed together steamed up to Pittsburg
landing with 400 excursionists on board !,
mostly members Of the G. A. R. from I'LL
landed and marched to the National ceme-
terry. the bands beating dead march with
muffied drums. Here they played "Web-
ster's Funeral March, - the men standing
with uncovered heads and tears running
down their cheeks. Many, as they looked
comrades while the marble slabs at
the heads of the graves arose
like undulating waves as far as
the eye could see.. The column formed
again and marched to the platform erected
for the speakers and the band at the west
end OF the cemetery. Hon. F.: D. Smith,
Of Illinois, was the orator OF the day and
delivered a stirring speech eulogistic Of
both federal and confederate dead He
concluded as follows: Gas the quiet,
steadily flowing current Of the beautiful
Tennessee which perpetually battles the feet
OF the hill in which rest our beloved dead,
coming down from the uplands of the south
to join its waters with that Of the great
river Of the north, so may the current of
patriotic love of country come from the
southland and join others from all parts Of
the country until all are embraced in one
sentiment OF love ana respect LOT the lnsep-
arabic union of states.'
Col. T. Lyle Dickey, Judge of the SUI
preme court Of Illinois, spoke of the mo-
tives that animated the parties to the con-
test and substantial benefits that resulted
to the south. The entire audience, which
by this time had been largely augmented
by people from across the river and neigh
borhood, then sang "Nearer My God to
Thee The children of the neighboring
Sunday schools sang the hymn on Stone
wall Jackson's last words, "Let US pass
over the river" This affected many of the
audience to tears. The audience sang 81
Love TO Tell the Story led by cornet,
and the veterans then dispersed over the
country as far as old Shiloh church, look
ing for places where their comrades fell.
Great interest was manifested in searching
for old bullets, buttons and the like, and a
large number were found on the field rear
by, every member Of the party carrying
away some relic. There was an old time
campfire In the evening on the battle field
by the spring. Hardtack, bacon and beans
were cooked and eaten from tin plates.

REVOLUTIONARY RELICS.
Gen. Putnam's Wedding Ring in tho Gus
tody of an Omaha Lady.
johnson County tNeb.J Journal.

johnson County (Neb.J Journal.
All of our readers who are familiar
with the history of the revolutionary
war will remember Gen. Israel Put
nam, one of the greatest soldiers of his
day. While in Omaha last week the
writer had the pleasure of seeing the
wedding ring of Mr.. and Mrs. Putnam,
which sealed their marriage vows in
1888, and has been in the possession of
relatives of the family since the death
of that estimable lady. A daughter of
Gen. Putnam presented the ring to
Miss Eunice Tyler, her sister-in-1aw,
about the beginning of the present
century, in whose possession it remain
ed until 1855, when she gave the little
keepsake to Miss Orpha Z. Clement, of
Vermont, now the wife of DR.. G. M.
Dinsmoor, of Omaha, Neb., in whose
possession it has been for the past thir-
ty-one years. The ring is a slender
band of chased gold, on the top of
which is beautiful garnet set, and on
either side of the set is fair-sized dia-
mond. In the days when this piece of
jewelry was made the feat of placing
sets in solid gold had not been discov-
cred, consequently the diamonds are
placed in solid silver on top of the
gold. During the 145 years of its ex-
istence this little heirloom has changed
owners but three times, and, it is need
less to add, is highly priced by the lady
on whose hand it now rests. The dia-
monds are valued at 1926 each, and it
will be seen that the ring was quite
valuable 145 years ago.

danger at the rear of the stage. Sew

she was driven back. Three kittens
she rescued, then she hurried back for
the fourth, but she returned no more.
The charred remains of the cat and the

charges against Comptroller Knox has been

These charges are fourteen in number and

They are accused of gentle and COM

Mr.. Romanes has lately shown that
