ROYALTY IN IRELAND.

Arrival and Reception OF the Prince and
Princess of Wales in Dublin-Considera-
BILE Enthusiasm Manifested.
DUBLIN, April 9.-The railway from
Kingstown to Dublin was lined with o
strong force of police while the train
bearing the Prince and Princess of Wales
was passing. A great crowd had as
sembled at the railway station, and when
the train arrived, the police were unable
to prevent the people from breaking
through the Gordon, and were only
able to keep space clear through
which their Royal Highnesses could
reach their carriage. The Prince shook
hands with scores of those
nearest to him, and the effect of this ac-
tion upon the crowd was electrical, fran.
tic cheering being kept up in an unbroken
roar by the people. These manifesto.
tions of enthusiasm continued as the car.
riage passed slowly through the crowds
that lined the street all the way to the
Castle. The Prince afterward sent tel

ENTOMBED ALIVE.

Ten Pennsylvania Miners Entombed Seven
Hundred Feet Below the Surface With
Four Hundred Feet of Debris Above
Them-No Hope of Rescue.
SHENANDOAH, Pa, April THE Guy
ler mine, at Raven Run, was the scene,
yesterday afternoon, of horrible catas.
trophe, by which ten poor fellows met
fate than which nothing could be worse.
No one seems to be able to account for
the disaster, and certain it is that nobody
expected 1t, and as usual, in such cases,
everything was, or was supposed to be,
in first-class order. But despite this,
about half past three O'Clock there
came sudden crash, caused by the
collapse or caving in of one of
the gangways. There was great excite
ment when the news spread, and it was
some time before it could be ascertained
Just what the full extent of the disaster
was. AS soon as a correct list could be
made, it was shown that the following
miners were enuombed alive: John Cav
anaugh, Frank Mclaughlin, John Ander-
son, Michael Herrity, Nicholas Parue,
Henry Mervne, Bernard Smith, Benjamin
Maurer, Daniel Kerry, William Ander-
son.
NO HOPE.
The entombed men all have families,
and the cries of wives and children filled
the air. Exploring parties report the
mine complete wreck, and all hope OF
rescuing the imprisoned miners alive has
been abandoned. The slope is 700 feet
deep, and is divided into four lifts.
The ten men now in the
| mine were in the lowel
lift and the place is closed to the bottom
of the first lift 400 feet above. There
were three openings to the mine, an ali
hole and two slopes, and all three ar,
closed below the first lift. The danger
GUS condition of the mine not only pre-
vents rescuing parties from doing any
work, but forbids even thorough exam
ination of the workings.
The concussion caused by the fall was
so great that the nine cars at the foot o.
the first lift were forced up the slope ,
distance of fifty feet. Miners acquainted
with the workings declare 1t doubtful
whether even the bodies of the mem EN-
tombed can be recovered. The collier
employed from $50 to 200 men, bu
fortunately was not in operation yestel
day, or all the men would have been lost

FAMlNE-STRlCKEN.

Report OF Newspaper Correspondent OF
the sad Condition of the People In the
Back Counties of West Virginia-Slowly
Starving to Death, and the Live Stock
Perishlng by Hundreds.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, April 7.-Mr. Sam.
uel w. Wall, a staff correspondent of the
Pittsburg Times, just returned from a
weeks tour of the famine-strickep dis
trict of West Virginia, beyond the lines
of railroad or telegraph communication,
tells story of his personal investigation
of the terrible suffering in that State,
thrilling as romance, principally among
the residents of Calhoun, Roane, Writ,
Ritchie, Pleasant, Doddridge, Lewis, Gill
NOR, Broxton, Upshur, Webster, Mich
olas, Clay and Jackson; also, parts of
many counties adjoining, who are small
farmers owning small plats of land.
Last year there was a large emigra-
tion of this class of people from Ohio to
this State, all their money being expend-
ed in the purchase OF their homes. The
district outlined experienced drouth
last season such as was never known in
the history of the State. From June un-
til November no rain fell; a hot wind
blew continuously from the South, baf-
fling efforts of farmers to force their
crops. Vegetation was scorchcd to
death, and scarcely fifth of crop was
garnered.
The beginning of severe winter
found all these people with barns and
larders bare. Unable to feed their cattle,
they have died by hundreds, and the
people have in many instances been COM
PEELED to use the carcasses for food. The
people, in their dire extremity, have ex-
listed for months on corn meal mixed
with water, which was cooked on grid
irons that have not been creased for
months. The mortality among children
and aged people recently has been un-
precedented
The people have become desperate and
demanded relief from the authorities. In
answer to these cries Judges and County
Commissioners of Calhoun, Writ, Up.
shur, Clay and Baxter counties have pur.
chased supplies of meat and meal, which
have been distributed. In response te
petitions to Representatives at Washing
| ton, several counties had been supplied
| with seed, which, arriving in the middle
| of winter, was used as food by the half
| famished people. AS consequence, al
most the entire population in the more
isolated districts, where county authori
ties have not supplied relief, are withou
food and without seed, and what is lef
of their stock are too enfeebled to do an,
| kind of work.
The roads are still in an almost i'm
| passable condition. Relief can only b
transported on horseback. The horse
have also become so exhausted an
starved that even small quantities con
stituted burden. Great fears were ex
pressed that the mortality among tn
cattle resulting from eating the buds @
buckeye, the earliest that revive, whic
are deadly poison, will sweep the countr
clear OF cattle.
The authorities, while acting in th
matter, are very 10th to confess that tn
distress is as great as it really is. Bus
ness is practically stagnant. Owners {
mills have nothing to grind nor th
money to purchase. Butchers shops an
other places of trade are closed for tt
same reasons.
