which connection in generous sports was car

and in their inter collegiate athletic games they
brushed away old records like straw. But 1t
was not a proud day for New-IOrk in baseball,
the Providence players inhicting on them a
defeat that was positively astounding in its eX-

The sentiment in favor of cremation appears
to have recently taken n fresh start. short
time ago there was an effort made to get bill
through the PENNSYLVANIA Legislature declaring
the practice illegal. Now crematOry is pro-
iected near Philadelphia and some prominent
residents of that city have expressed willing
ness to become stockholders in the company.
The cremation society in this city has recently
been reorganzcd and it is again talking OF
building furnace. The discussion OF the sub
icct in the English House of Commons has
shown rapid growth of public opinion there IN
favor of cremation. 1t is advocated as meas
ure demanded in the interest of the public
health of large cities.

of the officers of the trades union. There Is the
less excuse for this opposition from the fact that
the interests of the worilingmen are carefully
guarded by the act and the decision of the tri-
bunal to which the differences are to he re-
ferrcd is not compulsory. If the wollingmen
cannot afford to present their case to such trl-
bunal there can be little justice in their cause.

Corning, o., All Torn Up Over The Recent
Expulsion of Andy McDevitt from the
Town-A Warof Factions Likely to Result.
COLUMBUS, O., March 6.
The trouble over the McDevitt abduc-
ton at Corning is getting worse. Every
turn of affairs seems to irritate it, till there
is danger of violence. Andy McDevitt,
who promised the mob last Sunday night
that he would never set foot in the town
again, returned Yesterday accompanied by
his friends carrying rifles. McDevittwas
given royal reception. Fully 1000
people met him at the depot and
escorted him to his store, where
he held an ovation during the
day, but did not remain in the town over
night. He and Father b. NJ. O'Boylan
have, however, not as yet been in the
town at the same time since last
Sunday. The reverend father left for
New Lexington on the train previous
to McDevitt's arrival, expecting to re-
turn on the next train, but when he
saw the McDevitt party on the cars he
did not board it, and remained at the
County Jail with the members of his
congregation, who are under arrest. The
case of Father O'Boylan was postponed
till Friday. The others will have
no hearing till the Grand Jury
meets next Monday, as they waived a
preliminary examination. Andy McDev-
tit came up to New Lexington in the af-
ternoon, and Father O'Boylan returned
TO Corning. McDevitt swore out twelve
more warrants, making twenty-six in all,
with more to follow. To complicate the
present desperate social condition of this
mining region, four arrests were made
for the lynching of Richard Hickey, two
weeks ago, and efforts are being made to
haze Andy McDevitt indicted for killing
Ira Quickbaum in .self-defense
year ago. There is desperate state
of affairs at Corning and Rendville.

BALTIMORE, March 5-A special from
Delaplane, Fauquier county, Va, says: Sun
day morning John Gloscock, while in fit
of passion, supposed to have been caused by
jealousy, murdered his wife and three small
children and afterward set fire to his house.
He the proceeded to the woods, half mile dis
tant and shot himself through the heart. The
fire in the house was discovered and eXtin.
guished before the bodies were consumed OF
much damage resulted. of the terrible TRACE
dy near Delaplane, this county, Sunday, il
seems the attention of neighbOrs was called
to the residence of John Glascock by the ap
pearance of his house being on fire. When
the house was entered and the fire extin-
guished, the body of his wife, son aged
seven, baby, and child between were
found dead and weltering in their blood from
pistol shots, one each in the wife and second
and third children, and three in the oldest
boy. Shortly afterwarl a shot was heard in
the direction of the woods, short distance
off, and the body of John Glascock himself
was discovered. The deduction is that he
murdered his family, reloaded his
revolver, fired his house - to conceal
the crime, and then killed himself as
soon as the extingrlishment of the
fire told him his crime was revealed. He
was son of Thomas Glascock, who lived
beyond the Fauquier lines in London, but
owns more land in Fauquier and pays more
taxes i'm this county than any other one man.
The wife of John Glascock was Miss Fra
zier, of London, and of most respectable
family. Glascock was given to drink and
it is believed was crazed by liquor.

of the Central Block in an unconscious con.
dition. He face was covered with blood
and his clothing so disarranged that he was
not recognized until washed off. He says
he was entering the building about twelve

( NAsHvnLE, Tenn. March 6.-The case
Of the State against NJ. T. Polk the default
ing State Treasurer, who died suddenly a
few days ago, will be called in the Supreme
Court and debated. 1t is reported that Polk
some time ago made deed of his large In
terest in Mexican silver mine to one of his
counsel for the benefit Of the State, but it is
not positively known whether this is the
case. The State has already entered suit
against his sureties for the amount of his
bond, 100000, and against his estate for
the amount embezzled. 1t is presumed that
the suit will be revived against his executor
and that lengthy litigation will result. The
Mexican mines, in which Polk invested
heavily, are considered very valuable.

A Desperate Position.

LEADvILLE, COL, March Richard Swan
a mining speculator of this city, was rescued
from horrible fate, being found in the bot
tom of deserted mine shaft. into which he
had fallen six days ago, and which has since
been his living tomb. His rescue was BY
the merest accident. James Barry ane
Charles A. Dean, two miners, while on Their
way to work heard the groans of some one
i'm distress. For some time they were unable
to locate the sounds, but finally found the
opening of q shaft which had almost beer
closed by the snow and ice. They coulG
then more plainly hear the distress cries
and knew that the person who uttered then
must be lying at the bottom. How Deer
the shaft was they could not tell, for the
depths were black as midnight. Ropes anC
mining timbers were procured and Barry
was let down the shaft. On reaching the
bottom and striking match, he found a mar
lying face downward just in the entrance OF
drift leading from the shaft. The mar
was unconscious, and his face unmis
takably depicted the ag0nies of death by
starvation. The unfortunate man was raised
to the surface and carried to the city, where
after restoratives had been applied. he re
covered consciousness. He says that si1
days ago he was walking up the gulch to look
at some mining property, when all of a sud
den he was precipitated down the deserted
shaft spoken of. He was not aware of its
presence, as the mouth was completely
blocked over with snow. From the fall he
suffered sprained ankle and bruised arm
but was not otherwise hurt, as he struck
upon his feet. All that night he made at
tempts to climb out Of the shaft, and only
ceased his efforts when his strength had COM
pletely given out His suffering was terri
BILE. As near as he can tell for three days
and nights ne kept up the endeavor to es-
cape from his tomb. Frequently, he says.
he heard men passing by, but he called tc-
them in vain. Finally hunger and the ex-
posture made him so weak that he could not
stand up, and giving up in despair he lay
down on the spot where he was found.

Secretary Folger suggests several
amendments to the Patten Bill, and says:
doubt whether the people would APP
prove its provisions. 1t is certainly
open to the charge Of being partial to
the banks; and its effect, whether in
tended or not, would seem to be to
defer calling in security bonds until such
times as bonds not used as basis OF
circulation shall have been called, and
do not think it wise policy to thus dis.
criminate in favor of banking associa-
lions, and against all other holders Of

Fisher ended long, deadly family fued.

dered man, was indicted along with Bloxam
for murder in the first degree. but her case.
was dismissed. Murder in the second de-
gree is punishable by Imprisonment for life

consumed in the trial, and the ease, owing.
to its peculiar features, has been one of the
most remarkable trials in the criminal his.
tory of Oregon.
