The Mine Horror at POcahOntas-The
 Work Of Ruin COmpIete-NO Hope of
 Recovering the BOdies-The SaddeAt
 Little Town Tn Amer rica.
 LYNoHBURG, March 14.-The following dis tressing particulars were received here to-day from the Pocohontas mines: Colonel Dodd and party of miners from the Prince Edward county coal fields, who went to Pocahontas to render aid, and MT. ClifordA the English miner, now at Pocahontas, all say they never saw anything to equal the terrible destruction wrought by yesterdays explosion and as the mines are burning they will have to be closed for weeks. The scene presented beggars description. Trees were wrenched out of the ground and thrown down, houses demolished and the forest blackened for half a mile in front of the four entrances to the mine. The main tunnel extends back two thousand three hundred feet, and there were one hundred and forty men composing the the time of the explosion. All were no doubt killed. About twenty-five of them were married and half of the whole number are white, many being boys. Fire damp, which is the supposed cause of the disaster, had never been suspected before and safety lamps were not used A few minutes before the explosion orders were given to check the fan which forced air into the shafts as the lamps were going out. This was done and the explosion occurred soon afterward. The blacksmith and carpenter shops one hundred yards away were blown down. Gar wheels fragments of machinery, timbers, etc, were carried to the opposite hill six hundred feet away, which was blackened to the top, half 8 mile distant, with fine powder like lamp black. Houses in the town one mile distant were shaken to their foundations All four entrances to the mines present the same ter rible aspect. Superintendent Lathrop has placed guards around the place as it is feared that another explosion may occur. None of the bodies have been recovered and as an attempt to do so is deemed useless none will be made.
 LATER-One hundred snd five men are now certainly known to have been in the mines at the time of the explosion and others are missing. Great volumes of steam and smoke are pouring from every crevice and opening in the mountain above the mines and old miners are expecting another explo- sion. A number of nationalities were among the force in the mines, but the majority of those missing are Hungarians and negroes It is stated that large quantity of powder was distributed throughout the mines pre- vious to the accident. Colonel Dodds party being unable to render the slightest assis- tance returned home to-day. I've left," said he, 'the saddest little town I ever visited. One hundred brave and industrious men were buried in an instant in a mountain of fire and burning rock, leaving score of penniless widows end more than 8 hundred helpless children"

Committee on Bath Houses.
The Bath House for QufnnfPfae Rive
 NoE Decided Upon.

The Bath House for QufnnfpfRe Rive
 Not Decided Upon.
 The Committee on Bath Houses held meeting in rooms 10 and Il City Hall las evening, Alderman Defrees presiding. Th' applicants for the position of bath house keeper, of which there are fifteen or twenty assembled in the corridors expecting thai the keepers would be appointed, but in this they were disappointed as this matter wa not considered.
 Councilman Goodssll appeared before the committee and opposed the location of a bath house at the foot of English street. He was opposed to the location of a bath house anywhere in Quinnipiac river, but if it was located there, he thought it should be near Lewis bridge. MT. Goodsell thought that the floating ice in the river would seriously injure the building.
 Councilman Futile gave it as his opinion that as the current was strong at the point proposed for the bath house it would be broken to pieces unless it was properly secured by piling
 The committee voted to visit the locality where the bath house is proposed and also the existing bath houses on next Thursday after noon at o'clock. What the result will be remains to be seen. One thing is certain, and that is that bath houses when located should be protected by piling from ice in the rivers. The floating bath at West river bridge has been floating up and down the river for several weeks be- cause it was not properly secured. In addition the stationary bath house at West river has been broken into during the winter and the city's property has been badly dam aged by the young miscreants in that part of the city, and the police seem to be powerless in preventing the destruction of city property. How long this will continue remains to be seen.
 At the next meeting of the committee they will probably decine on some plan of action that will be feasible for the protection of bath house property and will probably select bath house keepers for the year ensuing
 Spring Medicines.
 Why does everybody take spring med icine? For three good reasons, viz I, be- cause one bottle of 8 blood purifier taken at this season will do more good than two at any other. II, because the blood is in a more impure condition than at any other sea son II, because the system is so weakened by this impure state of the blood that it has not sufficient vitality to withstand the debili- tating effects of spring weather. Hence, by common consent people seek relief in medi- cine. The combination of Hoods Sarsapa rilla comments it to our judgment as good spring medicine and blood purifier. Such things as Sarsaparilla, Yellow Dock, Man drake, etc., compounded by competent drug gists like Messrs. Hood & Co.,, warrant us in suggesting that all in need of medicine of this kind give Hoods SarsNparills a trial.

 Dorsey on His Ranche-Disgusted With
 Politics and POlittcians.
 CHICAGO, March 14.-Ex-Congressme John B. Alley. of Boston, who is part owner with Colonel R. G. Ingerson of, the Dorsey rancho in New Mexico, returned to-day from the trip which he and Colonel Ingersoll made with ex-senator Dorsey to the new property. Senator Dorsey was left on his ranche and MT. Alley thinks he will not be East again for a long time. The Boston capitalist expressed himself very much pleased with his purchase. Colonel Ingersoll and myself were both delighted with it. There is money in the forty thousand head of cattle there and the land is the finest in the southwest. There is none of the foot and mouth trouble there complained of in Kansas, and from what I learned in Kansas the extent of the disease has been very much exaggerated. It has only been found in one or two cases, and the owners are confident that they can stamp is out"
 'eIs it true that Mir. Dorsey is working to become first Senator from New Mexico when that territory shall be admittedP' "I don't believe it. Dorsey is disgusted with politics and it will take him many years to overcome his hatred of politicians, engendered by his recent experiences. Still he may be like an old war horse. He may prick up his ears and respond to the familiar bugle call. I haven't much faith myself in the repentance of politicians. Once they get taste of sx- oitemeht and political rewards it's hard to keep them out of the fray"

In fact this preparation is so well bal anced in its action upon the alimentary canal, the liver, the kidneys, the stomach, the bowels and the circulation of the blood, that it brings about a healthy action of the entire human organism, that can hardly be credited by those who have not seen the re- markable results that have followed its use.
