Terrible Mine NLsaaIer.

PETERSBURGH. Va, March 18th.
Intelligence just received confirms the
story of terrible explosion at the coal
mines of the South western Improve
ment Company at Pocahontas, Taze-
we'll county, this State. at one O'Clock
this morning. Particulars are very
meager. Nothing has been learned AS
to how it occurred. Over one hundred
men are known to have been killed.
These mines are owned by joint stock
company composed mostly of North
ern capitalists.
Several parties ventured into the
mines this morning, but could not
long endure the foul atmosphere. A
number of bodies were discovered hOr-
ribly mangled, some Of them with
their heads torn from the trunks and
others with limbs all gone, presenting
an appalling spectacle. The work OF
destruction was not confined entirely
10 the interior of the mines, but hous-
es two or three hundred feet removed
from the mines were overturned and
in several instances entirely demOlish-
ed The large VentilatOr of the South
west Improvement Company was
blown to atoms, and the mines cannot
be entered until another is constructed
for the purpose of freeing the atmos-
phere of the suffocating fumes. This
work is now progressing speedily. A
large force is engaged on the outside of
the mines constructing cOtfins and
perfecting other arrangements for the
intermeut of the dead miners, most of
whom are foreigners.
Later dispatches give the number OF
lives lost at one hundred and fifty.

IT is quite apparent that the Demo-
cratic House of Representatives do not
propose to turn the treasury of the
United States over to John Sherman
and the Republican party to be used as
a campaign fund. The said Sherman
when he was at the head of the treas
ury department was in the habit of
giving two offices and double salaries
at the same time to certain obseouious
pets, who could most effectively do his
campaign bidding. 1t has just come 10
light that one Thompson, a special pet
OF sherman, was quartered on the
treasury, ia possession of two offices,
and double salaries, and has been in
the enjoyment of such position up to
the present time. But President Ar.
thur has just bounced this double Off
cial leech, for campaign purposes of
his own, and because he bears no good
will towards Sherman or his peculiar
agents who aim to defeat the acting
President in his struggles for nomina.
tion at Chicago next June. The public
will be glad TO have Republican dis
honesty exposed, if even from selfish,
personal views, instead of impulses of
patriotism.--[S Paul Globe.

A Remarkable Case.

DIR. HA ARTMAN-D Dear Sir: am in
duced by sense of duty to the suffer
ing to make brief statement of your
remarkable cure of myself. I was a
most miserable sufferer from the vari-
Gus annoying and distressing disease s
of delicate persons. which caused me
to be confined to my bed for long
time, being too weak to even bear my
weight upon my feet. I was treated
by the most reputable physicians in
our city, each and all saying they could
do nothing for me. had given up all
hopes of ever being well. In this con-
dition I began to take your Peruna, and
am most happy to say, in three
months was perfectly well-entirely
cured without any appliances or sup
port of any kind. Yours truly,

GARRETTSVILLE.

correspondence
1t has been many years since there
has been as much activity in building
in this village as at present. And a
further notable fact is that the build
ings to be erected are to be of superior
architecture, and will be ornaments to
our town.
There seems to be considerable ac-
tivity i'll real estate, many sales having
been made during the last month.
Business of all kinds seems to be
active, especially among our mer-
chants. One thing has always been
lacking in Garrettsville, and that is
capitalists who will erect manufactur-
ing establishments. The water priv
ileges are as good as any in the county,
and there is plenty of room for steam
power, and plenty of good will to
help an enterprise of this kind in our
midst. One manufacturing interest
which has recently developed itself
deserves notice. Some time since w.
a. Wilcox, ESD, invented an evapo-
rator for use in sugar making, which
he rightly named the Success" Last
year he made and sold large number
of them, all of which gave satisfac
tion. This year he leased the build
ings of the old Garrettsville Manufac-
turing Company, and has for several
months been running large force of
hands in manufacturing his evapora-
tors. He has advertised extensively,
and his orders are larger than he is able
to fill. He is now negotiating for a
site upon which he intends to erect a
large shop in which to conduct this

If we had them our town would he d

Last Saturday evening en- oratorical

Hon. Thos. P. Ochiltree
Proposer of the Fam Gus A-asker
Resolution,

There is probably no other Repre-
sentative in the Forty eighth Congress
whose name is more frequently men
toned throughout the United States,
and even in foreign countries, than Is
that of the above Congressman from
Texas. This sudden nOtoriety has
been gained by Mr.. Ochiltree's intro
duction few weeks ago, in the House
of Representatives., of the now famous
Lasker resolutions. which Prince Bis
marck has thrust back upon our Con
gress with the intimatien that our
country should attend to its own af-
fairs. This insult stirs the American
heart to resent it, and brings Mr.
Ochiltree into u national prominence
in connection with the affair which
will perpetuate his name in our civil
history.
Mr.. Ochiltree is a resident of Gal
weston, Texas, and the first native
Texan ever elected to our Congress.
He represents twsnty-seven counties,
which compose the seventh district,
and comprise over 1000 square miles
of territory, reaching from Galveston
on the Gulf, to Eagle Pass, on the
Upper Rio Grande. He Was elected to
Congress as an Independent by ma
jority of 5000 votes over Findlay, the
Democratic candidate.
After receiving limited education
at the public schools of his State, at
the age of seventeen he became a
private in the Texas Rangers, and was
engaged in the campaign against the
Apache and Comanche Indians in
1876. When the war broke out Mr.
Ochiltree went IN with the COnfeder.
acy, and his war record Oh the stats
of Generals Green, Taylor and Sibley
is replete with incidents of bravery
that would have been more profitable
in better cause. But when the VIC
torious armies of the North had sup.
pressed the rebellion Colonel Ochiltree
accepted the new order of things in
good faith, and in time was appointed
| United States Marshal of Texas by
President Grant, aud thereafter was
appointed UnitedStates Commissioned
of Emigration to Europe, III which
capacity he several times visited for
eign countries, and when in Berlin
had numerous audiences with Bis.
marck OH emigration affairs.
Ia personal appearance Mr.. .Ochiltree
is one of the original freaks OF human
nature. Heavy set. with canary col
Ored unkempt hair and heavy light
colOred mustache, eyes twinkling with
good nature, ruddy complexion, pro
truding lips and rather antiquateC
dress, he is a striking oddity In tht
present Congress, but very popular
and always the centre of u group o
attentive listeners.

NEW YORK, March l4.-Mr. Clark
Howell. of the Atlanta Constitution,
sends dispatch to his paper telling of
an interview that he had with Mr.
Tilden. He describes Mr. Tilden as
being somewhat infirm, but in good
health, and with his mental clearness
unimpaired. Mr.. Tilden, however,
declared that he had reached ii positive
determination not to again be IA candi
date, saying that the exertiOn and ex-
element would be more than he could
endure. He thought that H0adiy
would be strong candidate, but that
Payne would be az strong a man as the
party could nominate. He thought
reform would be a sufficient issue for
fife canIDaign.

On "Wednesday of last week the
Ways and Means Committee submitted
to the House majority and minority
reports on the Morrison tariff bill, the
division in the committee being a
strictly party one. The majority re-
port, signed by all the Democratic
members, places wood, sawed lumber,
coal and salt on the free list, and makes
horizontal reduction of 90 per cent.
or one-fifth of the present tariff, on all
other articles on the present dutiable
list. The total reduction of taxation
is estimated at $3l ,OOO, 900. The minor
Ity report is a sort-Of general demurrer
to the pleas set forth in the majority
report. The grand racket upon this
all importont subject will soon begin.
or course the friends of the monopo-
lists will oppose any change in the
system by which the people are annu-
ally burdened with hundred million
dollars more taxes than is needed for
an economical administration of the
government, merely for the benefit of
n privileged class, while the friends of
equality will be arrayed on the side of
revenue reform that will relieve the
public of this oppressive burden,
