RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS.
Gov. Lowry to-day appointed for Rail-
road Commissioners: Ex-Gov. Jpte NJ.
Stone, the Hon. VIM. B. A1sast6s, OF
Noxubee, and Capt. William Melville of
Madison. The appointments are regarded
as the very best that could have been
made, and Gov. Lowry is complimented
on all hands for his selection. The ap-
pointment of Gov. Stone is regarded as
not only graceful but just tribute to a
distinguished citizen, who enjoys the un-
limited confidence of the whole people
Mr.. Augustus is an ex-member of the
Legislature, is a large and successful far
mer, and is held in high esteem by all
who know him. Capt. Melville is the
eldest son of Gov. Melville, and was for
long time member of the State Demo
ocratic Committee. He is leading citi-
zen of Madison county, and prosperous
planter OF fine business capacity. A more
acceptable commission altogether could
not have been selected, and the Governor

LYNoHBURG, March 13.-Further intelli-
gence from Poca houtas represents the
work of destruction at the coal mines as
horrible and complete. There were $50
men in the mine at the time of the ex-
plosion, not one of whom is believed to
have escaped. Those not killed outright
by the terrible force of the explosion
most likely persisted from the after damp.
The cause of the explosion has not yet
been definitely ascertained. as the entries
to the mine are all full OF bad air, but the
presumption is that one of the miners
struck fissure of gas. Several parties
ventured into the mines this morning
but could not long endure the foul atmos-
phere. A number of bodies were discoy-
cred horribly mangled, some OF them with
their heads torn from the trunks, and
others with the limbs all gone, presenting
an appalling spectacle. The work of de-
struction was not confined to the interior
of the mines, but the houses 200 or 500
feet removed from the mines, were over
turned, and in some instances entirely de-
molished. The large ventilator OF the
Southwest improvement Company was
blown to atoms, and the mines cannot
be entered until another is constructed for
the purpose of freeing the atmosphere
of the suffocating fumes. This work is
now progressing speedily. A large force
is engaged on the outside of the mines
constructing coifins and perfectIng other
arrangements for the interment of the
dead miners, most of whom are for
eigners.
The latest intelligence is that an explor-
ing party entered the mine short dis
tance and brought out six bodies in
frightfully mutilated condition. There is
no hope that anv will be rescued alive.

A Blast for Heller.

OTTAWA, May 1S.
ED. BEE: The leading politicians in
particular and the Democracy of the
county in general were in a state of
anxiety and stir for some time past,
about the wrangle of the Congressional
Committee, in fixing the time for the
convention. Now, asa compromise has
been reached and the Goth of June was
accepted by both the opposing parties,
we feel as if something at least was ac-
complished and Putnam county is we'll
satisfied. The 5th of June was opposed,
not so much for being a date entirely
too early in the season as for the reason,
that the action of the friends of Heller
might be construed as an endeavor to
knock the wind out of the third term
advocates and friends of Mr.. Hill.
Putnam means fair play for every
candidate and does at no time fear the
secret underground work of a few
which is now under headway, but close
ly watched, and who dare not openly
advocate their cause, knowing that they
are in strict opposition to the sentiment
ofour Democratic population all over the
country. During last week opportunity
presented itself for q plain chat with
an editor of one of the Republican
newspapers of this county in regard to
the existing opinions among his parti-
sans. | learned that even by them it
would be considered an unexcusable
mistake in comforting third term up
on Mr.. Hill and to disregard the just
claims of Henry county, which for years
past has not been honored with the
nomination. Mr.. Heller has many
true friends even among them. The
fact that he is man of wealth, rather
speaks in his favor, than to his disad-
vantage, as it is well known that only
through economy and wise manage
ment of his business affairs he has
worked himself up from an humble
school teacher to the position he now
occupies among his fellow citizens.

house of Stewart Anderson about thret
miles east of here, yesterday morning
The old people were the only occupants
Of the premises. The wife was 81 and
the husband IS years ofage. The form.
er was known to be of unsound mind
and had been several times in an
asylum. She was under medicinal
treatment at the time of the tragedy
about to be related.
About s o'clock Sunday morning,
DIR. Whitaker, the family physician,
was on his way to the house when he
met Mrs. Anderson who on his invita-
ton took a seat beside him in his bug
gy. They cOnversed briefly on COM
monplace matters until reaching the
premises. Dal Anderson, a married
son, who lives in the eneighbOrhood, had
just arrived in advance of them. The
doctor calling him apart cautioned him
that his mothers mind was in an un-
settled and dangerous condition, and
that she required watching closely. DIR.
Whitaker had given the same admoni-
ton to the old man, who was i'm feeble
condition, on his previous visit, and
Anderson replied that he was fearful
she might kill him.
When first entering the house moth
ing wrong was detected, but on the
sons opening the door to another room
to procure some water in which to dis
solve some medicine, he started back
with horror exclaiming-"My God
Mother has killed father"
The white haired old man, with up
turned face was lying prone on the
floor, his head which was mashed in a
horrible manner resting on the broom.
That instrument of domestic industry
was drenched with blood and a clOtted
pool had formed on its upper surface.
Examination disclosed fracture of the
skull in the back of the head. The in
strument of death used by the mad wo-
man was heavy cane. She was mus
cular and with such a weapon used on a
nearly helpless victim could speedily
execute her diabolical work. The only
words she uttered on hearing the sons
Mortified exclamation, We're: "Well,
thank God, the old man is dead.n
Mrs. Anderson was promptly arrested
and lodged in Jail. She maintains a
stoical silence in regard to the tragedy.
Her brother, Dave Phillips, who malici-
ously killed Chas. Lundy of this place
several years go, is now in the insane
asylum at Columbus, having first been
found guilty of manslaug and sent
enced to the penitentiary one year. He
was adjudged insane at the conclusion
OF his term of penal service. The sister
is insane beyond all doubt.
MIR. Anderson was among the oldest
settlers of Wood county, having lived
here for more than so years.

regard to corn growing, but there appears
to be great loss of colts and lambs, ap-
parantly from some unknown cause.

to say concerning Judge Haag skulking
in his tent, or something to that effect
and that. he does not support Mr.. He'll
er. Judge Haag is no skulker, on the
