UNWELCOME EVIDENCE.

The Great Investigator and Visiting

nuggets out of the Danville claim that he
never p~rospected for:
Chess Ingram, a colored Democrat,
testified that he had been threatened by
q negro with death if he voted the Dem
ocratic ticket. He had to take refuge
in his stable from colored people who
followed him after he had voted that
ticket at the last election but one.
Aaron Pointer (colored) testified that
seven or eight negroes, armed with PTS
tolls, started after Noel, the white mar
whose fight with a negro preceded the
riot, and would have killed him if they
could have got him. The witness had
been attacked for voting the Democratic
ticket, and had been threatened with
hanging.
B. F. Walker, a white Republican Of
Danville, testified hat he saw ten Oh
twelve negroes at the riot hourishine
arms and saying to their fellows: "Come

The Minnie Moore Mine.

Some time ago we noted the sale Of the
Minnie Moore mine, near Bellevue, Idaho,
for the round sum Of $500, 900. The first
payment Of $125, 900 was made about the
time OF the sale. The second payment OF
$l72, 900 was made before the time it was
due. the date Of which was April goth.
This leaves one more payment, amounting
to 5000, 600, which falls due on June Goth,
and IL IS presumed that payment will be met
az promptly as the first W we're met. 1t
is a splendid property, and we understand
the present output of ore is very large,
while the new company are preparing TO
make 1t much more extensive. With SO
many good properties as the Wood River
country now has, and with so many pre-.
pairing for most energetic work this sea
son, the prospects for q boom there are
bright.

A WISCONSIN SENSATION.
A Young Woman Poisons Four Members of
Her Family, and Takes Her Own Life.

CHICAGO, Dec. 8-One of the Sunday papers
published a telegram from Whitewater
Wis. saying that on last Tuesday Miss
Annie Hainan, of that place, died
suddenly under circumstances indicating
that she had been poisoned; that about three
years before her father, mother, and one
sister died within short time of each other,
under similar circumstances; that though it has
created considerable talk, nothing was done
This was recalled by Annie's death, and to set
tie the question definitely her stomach was
sent to a chemist for analysis The deaths of
all were surrounded by complete mystery, no
one being suspected. Tonight, the Inter Ocean
has dispatch from Fort Atkinson, where
the family formerly lived and were
much respected The dispatch says a
report was received there from White
water that the third sister, Miss Nettie,
died there, to-day, of poison, making the fifth
member of the family that in this case it was
suicide, aud that before DEATH Nettie con
fessed to having murdered her parents and two
sisters. It also ascertained that she confessed
to poisoning another person. though this is
doubted No cause is assigned Her own death
was brought about by fear of exposure through
analysis of her sisters stomach. Nettie was a
school teacher and has two sisters still living at
Fort Atkinson.

the ambuscade of treason rode the six milion;

accusation rode Blaine heading his six million.
Then they rode back--the six million; ranks un-

of hell, all of them-al the noble and gallant

FIRE-DAMP IN A COAL MINE.
Terrible Explosion in Mine Two Miles
from ShamOkin, Pa.
Out of Nearly Two Hundred Employees Forty
Escape, Leaving One Hundred and Sixty
imprisoned in Shaft.

PHILADELPHIA Dec. S.-A special to the
Times from Shamokin, says IA terrible ex-
plosion occurred in Henry Clay shaft, two miles
from Shamokn, this afternoon, while 200 men
and boys were at work in a mine. About
forty of those escaped the fatal damp
and made their way out through
the marways and reached the surface
where they told the story of the fearful ex,
plosion in the No west gangway of the new
slope. 1t shook the mine from end
to end OF those who still re-
manned in the mine and who worked
in the vicinity of the explosion, were Richard
Tuckett, John Fox, Peter Koleman, Henry Ko-
bic. Joel Duzema, Thomas G. Williams and
a Polish miner, name unknown. The
coal and iron experts promptly made
an examination of the mine, and
fcuad it blocked up with gas which decided the
fate of those inside. The fans were got to work,
and every means employed to drive out tho
poisonous gas
.About o'clock a rescuing party entered the
mine, and near the bottom of the slope found the
body of henry Koble, horribly burned and
disfgured almost beyond recognition. The
crowd about the mine numbered 500 or GOO per
sons. among them the families of the imprisoned
miners. A second and third attempt to enter
the mine were uncessful the fatal damp
driving the men rapidly back to the surface.
Indications at late hour are that the entombed
men cannot be reached tonight, though no eff
fort will be spared. There is some uneasiness
that fire may break out Preparations have
been made to subdue fire should it occur.
