At the POcahontas Mine-The Work of
 Taking Out the Bodies.
 PooAHoNrAs, April 10.-Tha company had force of men at work all last night remov~ ing the timbers from the main entrance to the mine so that the bodies could be brought out with facility. The tramway of the mine has been considerably damaged by the flood of water and will have to be repaired before the work of rescuing the bodies can be entered upon in earnest. The party of men who entered the mine to-day brought out two bodies both horribly mangled. One of them was unrecognizable, having both legs, one arm and the head blown of. The other was recognized as that of James Grimm. An inr- quest will be held on this body tomorrow. There is great deal of foul air in the miae, but no gas. The large steam fan used in ventilating the mine got to work to night and every effort will be made to thoroughly ventilate the mine. 4 large force of men has been digging graves in anticipation. of recovering the bodies All day the mouth of the mine was sur- rounded by crowds of relatives and friends of the dead miners, who display great impa- tience at the delay in the recovery of the bodies. At 3 o'clock this afternoon Superin- tenden4 Lathrop posted the following notice at the mouth of the mine: ''There will be no more bodies taken out till 9 o'clock to- morrow morning."

Railroad Hands On Strike-Much Trou-
 bIe Found in Running Trains.
 CINCINNATI, April 1o.-The strike the Cincinnati Northern railroad continues, the strikers evincing determination not to re- turn to work until they are paid at least part of the wages due them. Yesterday af ternoon all the engineers on the northern division, ten in number, joined the strikers and the road has had great trouble in supply ing their places. On the Avondsle passenger train this morning George Ross, the conduc- tor, stoked the engine. He is the subject of many i'll remarks from the striking fremen who dub him 8 scRb. The only train which left here for Toledo this morning unknown to the strikers. They say the em- ployes of the Toledo, Cincinnati and St. Louis railroad all the way to Toledo and St. Louis have as much ground for complaint as those here and that unless the management of the road do something within day or two to relieve their necessities there will be 8 strike all along the road. The strikers are making no demonstration, but are quietly waiting for the manager to make some provision for them. Receiver Craig of tho Toledo, Cincinnati and St. Louis road came to this city last night to try and patch up the difficulty in some way and get his road in operation again. Four fremen were brought here to day to work on the road, but on learning the situation all re- turned homo. The strike now includes all the employees of the road except the conductors and engineers. The strikers claim that over one hundred hremen went out on the Southeastsrn branch to-day as well as other employees and claim that over twelve hundred men will quit work before morning on various parts of the road. Su- perintendent Ball says he has not succeeded in inducing any of the strikers to return to work and that he will begin issuing checks to ths strikers tomorrow for their wages and discharging them from the service of the company.

A Five Mile Skate On Rollers.
 The five mile race on skates at the Casino rink in Bridgeport Wednesday evening be- tween Hamilton Gormley, of this city, and Master George Jackson, of Fall River, proved to be one of the most exciting events of the kind ever witnessed there. There was large crowd of spectators present. The start was made at 9;30, and the race was won by Jack son in twenty-five minutes and eighteen sec- onds Gormley coming close behind. For the first three miles Gormley kept the lead, and it was confidently expected that he would come out ahead, but in the fourth Jackson gained the lead. Considerable money changed hands on the result.

Ticket soalpsrs.

&AAA44A4eAPAAa
 There is law pending before the leeisla- ture of Maryland to prevent ''tisket scalp" ing" and to confns the traffic in tickets te the authorized agents of the railroad compaS niss the bill under consideration is similar to that which has been 30 effective in this State both in protecting passengers and the railroad companies from the loss arising from the purchase and sale of fraudulent tickets or of tickets improperly procured There were recently convicted in our courts a number of trusted employees of the Pennsyl% vania railroad and Pullman Car companies, against whom the charge of enbezzlsment was sustained.
 These men were all respectable and honest until they were tempted to dishonesty tempted to the loss of reputation and posi- tion, and, in fact, into prison by the ticket scalpers Every ticket fraudulently abstracts ed or withheld by them, 1t was proved on their trials, was subsequently, sold to the scalpers at largely reduced rates and resold to travellers to be used Q second time. Thus the railroad companies suffered severe losses, and in cases where the frauds were discov~ cred in time the passengers holding the scalpers tickets were subject to loss and in~ convenience.
 No railroad company is secure from loss, no railroad conductor safe from temptation, and no passenger free from danger of buy ing fraudulent and useless tickets, so long as ticket scaIping is legalized. The railroads that are carrying passengers upon terms so favorable should be protected from fraud, their employees from the temptation that robs them of home, friends and employment, and passengers from Inconvenience or fraud The law of Pennsylvania is exceedingly popular, and 8 similar one should be among the stat utes of every State. Only through and ky the operations of like law absolute se- curity be afforded to the railroad companies their employees and the travelling public but until such a law becomes common in all States travellers should refuse to purchase from scalpers lest they become Involuntary partners in fraudulent traffic, and suffer the consequences of their own act.

NEW DOMINION.

Is He a Spy-Tne Mystery of an Alleged
 Dynamite Renegade.
 OTTAWA, April 1O.-Some four weeks since the governor general received a letter from a man signing himself Dr. Costin, of Chicago, in which it was stated that the writer was aware of a plot to assassinate the governor general and destroy the Parliament buildings Shortly afte= Costin visited Ottawa and i'm. mediately had an interview with Sir John McDonald, to whom he offered his services. He said he was in the confidence of the dyna- quently would before long be able to hand the vile assassins over to justice. He WAS accordingly employed by the government and went to work. He put up at leading hotel and was soon in the confidence of every member of the government. They looked on him as their guardian angel. It soon, how ever, came to the ears of the government that the party to whom they had coHfided all their fears was himself confding to others. The government placsd the learned doctor under the surveillance of detectives and for the past two weeks he has been closely shadowed. His repeated visits to Ridsau Hall, the residence of the governor general, as well as the interest he takes in the base ment of the PaFliaments buildings has rather strengthened the suspicious of the govern ment as to the necessity of his being closely watched. He is well dressed and has an abundance of money. The fact that he de- manded no monetary or other consideration ally lead to the question as to what good motive stranger can have in coming to Canada and working for the Dominion government for nothing.

A Tragedy at Niagara-Hurder and
 Suicide on Lunn IsIand-Ths Victims
 Prominent at suspsnslOn Bridge.
 NIAGARA FALLS, April 1O.-A shocking tragedy was discovered here to-day. The body of Van R. Pierson, formerly manager of the freight office of the New York Central at Suspension Bridge, and lately clerk in that office, was found on Luna Island this morn ing with bullet hole through the mouth and the back of his head. while near him were the bloody coat and vest of his brothsE-iR-law, Mir. Thomas Vedder. There were no signs of the latter's whereabouts. The faets &s near as can be ssoertained, are that Pierson, who has been fighty for some time through ex cessive drinking, killed his brother-in-iaw while crazy, and taking of his coat and vest threw the body into the river, and then shot himself dead. The two unfortunate men were seen to go on the island together last night Mir. Thomas Ved- der was wealthy and prominent citizen of Suspension Bridge and was the senior men- Der of the wholesale grocery house of T. and J. Vedder, of that place. His brother James and he were bachelors and lived together in an elegant residence on Lockport street. Pierson was tall, fne-looking man, and he leaves a wife, the sister of her husbands victim, and also fine family of children. There was no cause for the act except in- sanity, as both the victims were on excellent terms as far as known. The village of Sus- pension Bridge is in great excitement over the affair

The Winter Wheat Crop-An IHcreaEe
 1n the Area Harvested
 WASHINGTON, April 10.-The April returns of the department of agriculture make the winter wheat about 27, 600, 900 acres. This is nearly the breadth soBn of the previous crop, of which between five and six per cent. was subsequently, ploughed up, leaving 26 400, GOO acres to be harvested. Compared with the area harvested the present breadth is an increase of five per cent. The present area is greater than that of the census year by more than two million acres. The increase is about 1,5OO, 900 acres on the Pacific coast and nearly 45o, 900 acres in the Southern States. There is small increase in the Middle States and 9 slight increase in the Ohio basin. The condition of wheat averages 95, 100 representing full stand, unimpaired vitality and medium growth. In April, 1883, the average was 80 and 85 in April, 1881. The April average of the large crop of 1882 was 1O4. The State averages are as follows: Connecticut 100, New York 97, New Jersey 95, Pennsylvania 99, Delaware 96, Maryland 102, Virginia 100, Tennessee 98, Kentucky 98, Michigan 94, Illinois 82, Kansas 101, Ore gon IO2, North Carolina 1O2, South Carolina 97, Georgia 91, Alabama 88, Mississippi 92, Texas 1O1, Arkansas Sl, West Virginia 100, Ohio 86, Indiana 92, Mis- souri 91, California 1O1. In Michigan, New York and Connecticut the fields were protected with snow on the first of. April in some places foot in depth. The subsequent condition will depend on the weather of April. No serious winter killing is reported except in Alabama. On low and wet areas some injury is reported throughout the en :. tire breadth The superior condition of drilled wheat is attested almost without ex- ception. THe area in rye is nearly the same as last year, the average being 99 per cent; |; condition, average 97 per cent.

An Escaped Murderer Anxious to Return.
 TORONTO, April 1O.-On May 4, 1879. an Indian named Burberry murdered Jasket Hill near the Six Nations reservation and fed to the United States. His wife subsequently, joined him. The wife has just returned to Bradford and engaged lawyers te negotiate for the return of her husband. As she is the only living witness to the tragedy and her relationship to the murderer gives her the prerogstive of refusing her testimony, the prospects for Bumberry's liberty are good. Burberry has 8 farm going to waste on the reservation. This is the principal cause of his desire to return to Canada.

 WASHINGTON, April 10.-The following is the amount that will be received by each of the New England States under the Blair bill for educational purposes: Maine $264, 900, New Hampshire $166, 900, Vermont $780, 900, Massachusetts $1i 114, ,00O, Rhode Island S290, 900, Connecticut $34O, 900; total for New England $2, 365, GOO. This is less than the amount received D eny southern State except West Virginia seh will have $1,- 100000, and Florida. whose share is $96o 900. Georgia tsks tho lead with SC, ,24o, ,ooo. Under the bRil Maryland would be entitled to $1, CSC, 900 Jbut for the amend msnt adopted before tbSsbiII was passed pro- viding that ''no money shall be paid out un- der the act to any State or Territory that shall not have provided by law system of free common schools for all children of school age without distinction of race or color either in the raising or distributing of school revenue or in the school facilities afforded" !" Under the law of Maryland State tax of ten cents on $1OO is levied for school purposes and this levy brings in from $400,00O to $500, 900. Of this sum by an express pro- vision of law $1OO.OOO must go for the sup port e1cIuslVely OL cO4OEeu sCnooIs. III duuA- tion to that there is in the school law of the State an express provision that all taxes raised for school purposes from the property of colored persons must be applied exclusively to the education of colored per sons. Although the laws of Maryland dis criminate in favor of, rather than against. the colored school children, the State will not be entitled to a share of the $97, ,OOO, 900 unless the legislature shall see fit to change the existing school law. As the legislature has just adjourned and does not meet again for two years it seems that the State has little chance for share unless the bill shall ha arnendad in the Houaa.
