CASUALTIES.
The Mine Horror Still the Sensation
of the Hour.

of the Hour.
LYNCHBURG, Va. March 15.-Little of adj
ditional interest from the Pocahontas mines
to-day. Another explosion is feared, and as
precaution against further loss of human
life, guard has been set at the entrances to
the mines. Superintendent Lathrop has no
titled the several mining experts, whose
services were engaged, that they are no
longer needed. They will be recalled when
the mines are reopened. The superintend-
ent states to-day, that the east mine
which was not materially affected by the ex-
plosion, will be worked again in a few days,
or as soon as arrangements can be perfected
and miners employed. The resumption of
work in the west mine. where the explosion
occurred, will not take place for two months
or more. Governor Cameron to-day tele-
graphed Col. Frank Huger, superintendent
of the Norfolk q Western Railway company
here, for information as to
the requirements for the relief of
the dependents on the entombed
miners, and the answer was returned, about
81, 500 would meet the pressing necessities OF
the sufferers. Soliciting committees raised
over $500 in short while here to-day, and
there has been a call for meeting of the
Lynchburg Tobacco association, for the pur-
pose of increasing the subscription. Fifty
barrels of flour and $500 pounds of bacon
were shipped hence to the sufferers to day.

A FATAL FALL.
La Horre, the Acrobat, Fatally In
jured at Pence Opera House.
His Neck Broken by Fall From the Ceiling
Into the Parquet.

A terrible and fatal accident happened at
Pence Opera house, which cast gloom upon
Minneapolis last night. Albert Laforre has
been performing upon the trapeze suspend
ed over the parquette and just in the rear of
the orchestra RAIL- during the week. He also
did the act of walking inverted, with his feet
caught in taps or clasps Sc
cured to bar. Last night he
was doing the latter act, and had just reached
the centre, when one of the loops broke loose
from the bar, and the hapless athlete was
precipitated headforemost into the parquette,
striking his head upon the iron arm to one of
the opera chairs, and breaking the chair.
There was not large audience, and hence
no panic ensued, though every one sprang
to his feet in excitement. The athlete was
picked up insensible and taken to the dres-
sing room at the rear of the stage and DR..
Ames summoned. After making an e:l-
animation. which did not fully satisfy the
doctor respecting the extent of
the injuries sustained, Laforre was
taken to his room in the Kessler house,
where DR.. Ames made a comprehensive ex-
animation. He found
THE NECK BROKEN,
but not dislocated and the skull fractured
from the point of the hair down diagonally
across the left forehead to the base of the
brain.
Meanwhile thd poor victim of the accident
was breathing irregularly, but was uncon-
scious. DR.. Ames states that he cannot re-
cover and that he will probably not survive
the night. At the present writing he is
breathing but family. Two members
of the company at the theater,
Messrs. Johnson and Lyons were
seen by GLOBE representative.
They stated that they first met Lahore in
Chicago, where he was performing in the
Park theater. They came with them to st.
Paul and thence to Minneapolis He was
highly esteemed by his associates, and was a
clever athlete. He was Frenchman, aged
twenty-three years, but respecting his family
nothing is known in Minneapolis. He fell
once in St. Louis and was SO seriously in
| jured that he laid unconscious 10. week.

WILL MARRY A MARQUIS.
The Engagement of Mrs. Frank Leslie
to the Marquis De Lenyille
Announced.
Especial Telegram to the Globel

New YORK, March 15.-The engagement
is announced of Mrs. Frank Leslie to the
Marquis De Lehville, gentleman
who has spent much of his time for
the past three years in this city. The
engagement was rumored some time ago but
then denied by Mrs. Leslie. Its understood
that the marquis, soon after meeting Mrs.
Leslie, three years ago, offered himself to her
but it is authoritatively stated she was devot-
ing herself to the work Of extricating
her property from its embarrassments and
vindicating the financial credit and business
good name of her late husband, and it was
not until recently that, having accomplished
the task she had undertaken, she permitted
herself to seriously entertain the proposals
made to her. 1t is understood that the mar
rage will take place at an early day but that
she will continue to reside in New York Civ
ing her active personal supervision to the
large and important business with which she
has been SO long and successfully connected.

Another member of the company says he
met Laforre in Indianapolis last summer
where ne had also been disabled by falling
from trapeze.
Last night he seemed to be possessed of a
premonition that he was going to fall and SO
remarked to Mr.. Lyon of the company, say
ing: eff 1 get through my act tonight
without falling, 1 shall be happy"
Some claim that his nerves were unstrung,
but careful investigation connected with
the sad affair, showed couclusively that it was
no fault of his, as one of the bands broke
loose from the cross bar, else he would not
have fallen. The fracture in the skull will
necessarily occasion death.

evening, and his body was removed to

They Will Stamp Out the Disease.

NEsHo FALLS, March 15.-Several surgeons,
representing imported cattle interests, both
east and west, have arrived here. They all
pronounce the disease genuine epizootic
apthe beyond doubt, but express surprise that
it is so slightly contagious. The climate of
Kansas and all other circumstances so decid-
edly unfavorable to its spread and developme emit
that all are confident it can be easily and
wholly abated by the destruction of the in
fected heards, and the disinfection of the
premises, as it is only a question of a few
dollars. No alarm is felt since the call for a
special legislative session. In two weeks
there wont be a case in all Kansas. Lieut..
Governor Finney sent to-day the following
dispatch to the governor of Illinois,: ssNe-
osha Falls, March 15.-To Governor Hamil-
ton: Recent dispatches represent you as
saying you would issue proclamation
quarantining against Kansas cattle. 1 hope
before taking such action, you will make
thorough investigation. No fat cattle are
affected and only five herds of stock cattle
in the entire state and they are closely
quarantined..
[Signed. D. W. TINNEY,
Chairman Of Quarantine Committee.
There need be no fears of the disease
spreading in this section of the country.
There is affixed determination to hold it lust
where tits, until legislature can act. The
pnblic sentiment is such, that it wont be
healthy for anyone to disregard the regula-
tons of the quarantine committee.

The subcommittee of the house commit
tee on foreign affairs, to-day considered the
Lasker resolution, and agreed upon a re-
port and resolution concerning it. The
action CT the sub-committe goes to the full
committee on Monday. The resolutions as
agreed on state in effect that the action OF
the house of representative was simply an
expression of sympathy with the German
people in their great loss, and the house has
no concern with their relations between the
legislative and executive branches Of the
German government which prevented that
expression of sympathy reoching the body to
whom it was addressed.

GarrulOus Expansion.

Few, of us, / imagine, have not at
some time or other been compelled to
listen with outaard calmness whilo
some subject with which we were per-
fectly familiar has been carefully eX-
planned to us in terms laboriously
adapted TO our presumably slow COM
prehension or gross ignorance of the
matter in hand. Can there be greater
strain on ones politeness than such an
experience Is there anything more
exasperating? Young folks often err
thus in conversation with their eld-
ers, but | am inclined TO think that the
elders themselves are the greatest sim
ncrs ia this way. 1t is so easy to think
that because certain age has been
reached one Is necessarily wiser than
another who is not 50 old! But is it
true? Goethe did not think so, at all
events. "Men do not, as rule, grow
wiser with old age" he says. ain
many matters the Judgment is AS trust
worthy at twenty-five as at sixty" But
TO this statement lew OF the elders
would be willinL 10 subscribe. Then
again, ii tho speaker is a man and the
listener woman, he Is quite sure that
he is the wiser Of the TWO. He must
be because ho is a man. This con-
viction, though not always expressed,
lies at the bottom OF the conscious
ness of ninety. nine men out OF every
hundred. And once IL was true. But
il has not been in this century or the
preceding one that man, simply by
virtue Of his sex, must of course be
wiser than any woman he might chance
to meet When women were forbidden
to read or think beyond certain man
prescribed limits, their range Of thought
was, of course, narrow; but in our day
it Is useless to deny that the average
woman is better read and thinks more
deeply than the average man. l am
not speaking now of literary men or
those of pronounced literary tastes.
The majority Of men in America are so
engrossed with business cares as TO
have small leisure for any reading be-
yond the newspaper and the lightost
novel. And as for anything outside OF
politics, they are guiltless Of II. The
learning OF the average woman may
not be great in extent, but it is far more
than that Of the average man. To the
young business man, or the young so
c'ety man. one book is like another,
aad II the fancy takes him to present a
book to any young woman of his nc,
euaintance he is guided by the taste Of
the bookseller, not by his own. Yet he
IL quite sure he must know moro be-
clause he is man. Perhaps he has
learned better than to say so, perhaps
lae Is sure she must perceive it; but he
is always serenely conscious ofthe fact.

We dream, sometimes, of that dim, flr-eR

Our, journeys end, our homc our second

We only dream-we can not understand
That wondrous riddanoo of the woes OF

No failure there, no loss and no decay,
No tempest, but clear shining after raln
Like mists, life's myriad cares shall fade
While ali good things we knew on earth re-

The poets verse in nobIer numbers flow;
Fair landscapes wait the painters raptured
eyes;
And gazers on the stars at last shall know
The very heart of all their mysteries;
And Natures faithful lovers shall not end
Their lifelong quest Of blossoms, birds and
But placid hours in peaceful wood-craft
spend.
They who on earth were doomed TO dwell
In crowded cities heavy sitting air,
May wander through q cool and ferny dell
Beside fresh waters frlnged with flowers
rare.
The pale and shrunken victims of disease,
And they who writhed beneath the lash of

And all their pristine bounding strength re-

The workers worn, and weary hands shall
rest
The bent back straghten in gracious ease
The heart cease aching In the mourner's
breast;
The batiied student then may grasp the keys

And they who faint with age-life's last,

Shall !quaf the spring of sweet eternal youth,
And face the long, fair future, children

HENDRICKS
AS A REBEL SYMPATHISER, A SALARY
AND LAND GRABBER, AND A
Butler Heard From.

Butler mas spoken at last-or rather
he has written. The dark clouds of
doubt that hung like sable pail over
the minds of the politicians in regard
to the great de.nagogue's candidacy
have been partially dispelled; a ray Of
light comes beaming down upon the
political situation and the momentous
news goes forth to the anXiously-wait-
ing world that Butler will run.
The letter, addressed to Charles A.
Dana, of the New York San, plainly
announces that Butler will enter the
field rs an independent candidate, as
the leader of the Anti-Monopolists and
Greenbackers.
Butler has reached his present con-
clusion after mature consideration. He
had hoped to secure the Democratic
nomination for the Presidency. In this
he not only scored failure but was
ANONYMOUSLY snubbed. The scoring
he gaze the Democratic party is yet
fresh in the minds Of the people. He
now has chance for revenge. This is
not the only object Butler has in his
ulluNs ilO hOVo hOt SNp pNOb W w SlCSlCl
this year; but he hC pes to form power
ful third party, and there is little doubt
that If alive in 1888 he will be again q
candidate. 1t Is probable that this is
the chief object the dual candidate has
in view.
The Republicans can afford to look
upon the new phase in the situation
with complacency. The voters of that
party will not be drawn awaysby But.
ier He does not represent their prin-
cples. The Republican party has de-
cared against monopoly, but that dec
laration by no means includes allegiance
TO the man OF many parties. Blaine
will continue TO draw votes from the
Democratic party, and the disailected
Republicans are steadily decreasing in
number. Altogether, it looks bal lor
the Democrats. Their candidates, their
platform and their prolcs,ed principles
arc all gainst their chances for success.
They are in sea OF trouble, and arc
constantly getting out of their depth
However, the fact is not to be regretted.

then, though she might have felt him
to be cruel, still she would have re.
spected him. He would have done, as
she believed, as other men do. But he
wished to gain his object, and yet not
appesr to be cruel 1t was so that she
thought of him. "And il shall be as
he would have it," she said to herself.

lie remained there alone in his IL
brary into the late hours of the night
But he did not even take up book
with the idea of solacing his hours. He,
too, had his idea Of self-sacrifice, which
went quite as far as hers But yet he
was not as sure as was she that the self
sacrifice would be duty. He did not
believe, as she did, in the character of
John Gordon. What if he should give
her up to one who did not deserve her
to one whose future would not be
stable enough to secure the happiness
and welfare Of such woman as was
Mary Lawrie! He had no knowledge to
guide him, nor had she;-nor, for the
matter of that, had John Gordon him
self any knowledge of what his own fu-
ture might be. OF his future Mr.. Whit
tlestaff could speak and think with the
greatest confidence. 1t would be safe,
happy and bright, should Mary Lawrie
become his wife. Should she not do so,
It must be altogether ruined and con-
found ed.
. He could not conceive it to be posi-
Bile that he should be required by duty
to make such sacrifice; but he knew
OF himself that If her happiness, her
true and permanent happiness, would
require it, then the sacrifice should be
made.
