THE POCAHONTAS HORROR.
Fears that Another Explosion Will Take
Place-Aid for the Sufferers.

LyNCHBURG, Va, March 15.-There is little of
additional interest from the Pocahontas mines
today. Another explosion is feared, and as a
precaution against further loss of human life a
guard has been set at the entrances of the
mines. Superintendent Lathrop has notified
several mining experts whose services were en-
gagged that they are no longer needed. They
will be recalled when the mines are reopened
The superintendent states to day that the east
mine, which was not materially affected by the
explosion will be worked again in a few days,
or as soon as arrangements can be perfected and
miners employed. Resumption of work in the
west mine, where the explosion occurred, will
not take place for two months OF more.
Governor Cameron to-day telegraphed Colonel
Frank Huger, superintendent of the Norfolk &
Western railroad here, for information as to the
requirements for relief of dependents of the en-
tombed miners, and the answer was returned

"Yes What then?'
II presume you are limiting at the arrearages

the House and Senate next winter to give him
the pay of a major general from the time of his
dismissal to the present Certainly, that is to
be expected. And who can say that he is not
entitled to it just as much as the soldiers to
whom we give arrearages of pensions. No one.
If he ought to be restored to the army he ought
to get the pay he has been laying out of If he
has been iH-treated in dismissal, he has in loss
of his salary. That is all right

mo, think not. While every one will con
cede that he is entitled to the pay, it was under
stood when the bill was passed that he should
never be paid by retroactive bill 1t would be
an outrage to slip up now and pass % bill TO the
contrary. Yet expect to see the proposition.
And expect as fully to vote against it, as others
will who supported the bill just passed"
1t has been understood that the bill, having
been returned to the House for its concurrence
in the Senate amendment, would go to the foot
of the list of measures on the Speakers table,
and be covered by 100 Senate bills now lying
there. A gentleman well posted in the rules and
practices of the House stated to-day, however,
that this bill. under the rules was readily ac-
cessible, and could be taken up any day when
the majority so desired. Under the rules after
the morning hour has expired, motion to go to
the Speakers table may be carried by majority
vote. The order of business then is to take up,
first, the executive communications, which are
generally disposed of as they are received and do
not accumulate, and, next, to take up the bills
returned to the House from the Senate with
amendments. Under this heading the Fitz John
Porter bill would be quickly reached, as there
are but one or two measures ahead of it. So the
bill, which many have thought was pigeon -holed
for a while, may be brought up at any day. 1t
is expected by some members that it will be
taken up during the first part of next week

A DEFAULTING AGENT.
Mr.. BOgert Departs with His Sister-in-aLw
and Considerable Money

NEW YORK, March 15-A short distance from
this city, on the line of the New York & New
Jersey railroad, is the little village of Pearl
River, an unpretentious place of about $50 in
habitants For a number of years young man
named Bogert has had general charge of the
railroad station there, being ticket agent, bag
gageman, telegraph operator, etc. About five
years ago he married daughter of a well-to-do
citizen of Pearl River They lived happily to-
gether, and in course of time three children were
born to them. To Tighten her labors her younger
sister, Jennie was engaged to assist in the house
work Mrs. Bogert was 'necessarally kept much
at home attending to her household duties. Jen-
ME was beautiful girl, vivacious and rather
gay, it is claimed, and it was not long be-
fore she and Bogert were on the best of terms.
Last Saturday Jennie started out with the in
tention of going to Montvale, but instead took
the train for New York. The next morning Mr.
Bogert informed his wife that he was going down
to New York on business, and would probably
be detained over night. That was the last she
saw of him He found his sister in this city,
and shortly afterward they left here for other
parts 1t is discovered that his accounts are
short both with the United States Express Com
pany and the railroad company. How much has
not yet been ascertained, but it is claimed to be
considerable. He left his wife without any
money, and her condition is an extremely sad

Heavy Decline in Prices of Coffee and Sew

New YORK, March 15-To-day was one of the
Sales of l52, 900 bags were bulletined, but that
did not represent the real magnitude of the bust
ness, since it is not at all improbable that the
sales were much nearer 100000 bags. The
market was panicky and irregular, beginning
with drop of from twenty to thirty points at
the first call, due to some depression in
Havre. The downward movement was
given a fresh impetus when two failures
in the trade were reported. The decline then
became panic and a scene of wild excitement
ensued. March Immediately dropped to g. SOC, a
drop of eightyfve points as compared with the
closing figure last night and other options suf-
fered quite severely. Later when it was seen
that the shorts were covering there was recov-
cry, but the closing figures were, nevertheless,
considerably below those of last evening.

his inability to meet his engagements. He said
they were small, but could give no exact infor-
