NEW YORK, April 16.--Judgo Nicholas

evil. The juries and lawyers had grown so
shamefully indifferent to the fulfllment of

LONDON, April 16.-Sir William Harcourt,
secretary of state for the homo department,
in speech at Derby this evening, said the
government will dissolve parliament at its

luctantly, and would have retired but for

Coal Pits-Theory Of the Explosion.
LYNcHBuRG, Va, April t6.--As many as
fifty dead bodies had been oxhumed from the
Pocahontas coal pits UP to yesterday, and
twenty-six more have been reached and will
be brought out to-day. Nearly all Of them
were badly, and some fcarfully, mutilated
oven beyond the recognition Of their best
friends. Twonty-eight bodies were found in
the fan entry, all together, and the explana-
tion of so many being in one heap Is made by
miner who escaped at the time Of. the acci-
dent. He says few minutes before the ex
plosion tho air in the interior became so
foul and offensive that these men with him
self were compelled TO seek some fresh dir,
and when they reached the aforesaid entry
tho current from the fan was so strong and
refreshing that all of them except himself
proposed to lie down to rest awhile, and then
return to their work, while he went on and
gained the outside in safety just few min
utes before the explosion which killed all of
his companions
Tho vein of coal, which is higher than the
surrounding coal fields, has evidently been
thrown UP by some mighty upheayal, and the
opinion of Capt. j. A. Welch, skillful
prospector and mining engineer, Is that
when the break in nature took place largo
cavity was formed which, having become
full of gas and being blasted into by the
miners, produced the terrific explosion, with
all of its frightful consequences. If the theory
is correct Capt. Welch thinks there need be
no fear of any other explosions, as the gas
has most probably found full vent
OF the bodies recovered yesterday sixteen
were identified. These were Emil Goodman,

DISTRACTED CUBA.
Reported Search OF an American Ship
by n Spanish Cruiser.

NEW YORK, April 16.-Havana advices Of
April IL say: Private accounts from Sagua
report that an American vessel had boen
searched and her crew roughly treated by q
Spanish cruiser outside of that harbor, but
tho report is not confirmed. All kinds of
rumors arc ahoat. An order of the authori-
ties to arm with rifles all laborers and
employees working on public roads has been
the cause of painful surprise. Sixty-fve
rifles have already been distributed by tho
chief engineer of the province. This meas
ure is considered very dangerous. In spite
of the terrible crisis the lower classes arc
encouraged to indulge in costly public picnics
or romorias, which cat up their earnings and
keep them from their work.

Comparatively few eople are acquain-
ted with the Wilson fanny in New York,
and the public never hears of it, though
it had been dragged into more or less
eminence lately by the fact that the
heiress to the Astor millions is to mar.
ry the eldest son of the Wilson's. The
engagement OF Orme Wilson to Miss
Carrie Aston was not a surprise to peo-
pie who are acquainted with the family
It was exactly what everybody had ex-
pected to occur. The Wilson place is
next to the Astors summer residence
at Newport, and from the time Miss
Caroline Aston was 10 years old he,
playmate was young Master Wilson
When they became of age they were EN-
gagged, as matter of course. Miss As
tor is neither brilliant nor beautiful.
She. is quiet, has domestic tastes,
that s$50, 600 year will be settled on
the bride by her family, and like
amount will go to the groom from his
family. This will give the pair en- in
come of 100000 a year. Possibly
enough to buy the necessaries of life.
The extraordinary thing about the
Wilson family to my mind is the man
ner in which they conceal the fact that
they are people Of immense wealth.
No one ever thinks of ranking them
with the great wealthy families Of the
metropolis, and yet they are million
aires many times over. They are very
exclusive. not at all prominent in socie-
~, and their name seldom gets into the
papers. A friend of mine who was look
ing for an eligible building site for the
erection of large structure up town
told me that he was perfectly amazed
at the amount of property the Wilson's
held. AL over TIE city, and in the
most valuable portions, he ran across
big lots of land which belonged to the
Wilson estate. What an enormously
wealthy family the Astors will be in

'We made a singular discovery the
other day." remarked an official of a
road running into Chicago. "About
three miles beyond certain station on
our line there is a farmhouse by the
side ct the track. just beyond the
farm house is little creek over which
there is small bridge. About four
years ago some repairs were made to
that little bridge, and, 81 course, the
bridge-gang had put up a sign board,
Run. Slow on eth er side during the
day or 50 the bridge was weakened.
When they had finished their work
they went off and forget the signs.
The fact is, the boards had disappeared,
and they didn't take the trouble to hunt
them up *~F ~ -
Some weeks afterward, no one knows
just when, those signs reappeared in
their former places. Nobody knew
who put them there, or. what for. No
body cared. IF the section men noticed

men had done It. It was none Of the
engineers business why theyswere there
it was their duty to observe rsregula-.
tions, which require them tosloW down
at such signs. Observe regulations
they did. For about four years not a
train had passed over that little bridge
without slowing almost to. a standstill.
The culvert, for that's all tbs, has been
as safe as any part of the. roadbed,
and yet stopping and starting trains
there hes cost this company thousands
of dollars. You know, itcosts money
to stop and start trains. You are won
dering how it all comes about, of course.
Well, that farmer stole those boards
and put them up again at his leisure.
For four years he has been gong into
the town or coming from it on our trains,
getting on or off right at his own door.
It was slick scheme, and how he must
have laughed at us and enjoyed it all
the while. But his game is up now,
and the engineers are having their re
venge by keeping up an Internal !screech-
ing of their Whistles at all hours of the
day and night whenever they pass that
