PHILADELPHIA, May 14.-This forenoon
q well-dressed, eSpectable-lOoking young
man, carrying small hand-Satchel, visited
the mayors office and requested an audi
ence with that official. The messenger in
charge informed the visitor that the mayor
was engaged and he could not see him
unless his business was important.
My business" said the young man, is OF
the utmost Importance, and | must see him
at once" He was then conducted to the
mayors private office, and, after presenting
his card, remarked, 81 believe you want
me. l am Daniel E. Stanton, man ac-
cused of shooting Frederick T. Nash.
You offered a reward OF $500
for me, and l suppose you are the proper
person f-for me to surrender to-" He was
then handed over to the chief of police,
who conducted him to a cell, where he had
a consultation with his counsel. Stanton
and Nash, who belonged at Mystic
Bridge, Conn.,, were companions and
were travelling together about the
country. On the night OF October
16 last, it is alleged they had quarrel
near Germantown junction, during which
Stanton drew pistol and shot Nash. Stan

sailed for South America and then went to

THE SHOOTING.
Stanton was subsequently brought into
court and pleaded not guilty to the true
bill of indictment already found, charging
him with murder. Application was made
by his counsel for writ of habeas corpus,
returnable Saturday, for the purpose
of raising the question. Bail
was refused, and the judge said the matter
must go upon the regular list for the next
week. When Stanton left this city he was
very boyish in appearance and had a
smoothly-shaven face. To-day when
and wore pair of goggles.
The conversation between himself and the
mayor was very short, Stanton saying, as
he had saved the authorities considerable
trouble by surrendering, he hoped the
mayor would see he was
treated fairly. ''We would have cap
tured you sooner or later" remarked
Mayor Smith, when Stanton paused. ''In-
deed you would not" returned the other.
Il arrived in New York Sunday and since
then l have passed number of my most
intimate friends and not one of them
knew me. This full beard, which /
nave allowed to grow, together with
this pairof goggles, forms an effective dis
guiSe, and I doubt if any officer on this or
the other side could have penetrated it."
He added that upon leaving Philadelphia
he went direct to New York, where he took
passage for South America. He remained
there only short time, soon returning to
Cuba. where he has been for several
months.
Miners Having a Merry Time.
Special to the Globe.
PERRYvILLE, W. Va, May 14.-Infor-
nation from Pocahontas, Lozerville county,
Va, just across the mountains from this
place, says reign of terror exists there.
The cause of the trouble is another out
break on the part of the colored coal miners
For several weeks past the miners
have been making trouble for the proprie-
tors of mines and residents of the town gen
orally, and many acts of violence have been
enacted, which, owing to the isolated
situation of the place, have not found
their way into print. Last Mon
day was the regular monthly payday,
and after receiving their money the men,
excited by whisky, indulged in numerous
bloody rows. Policeman NeuelS, the only
officer in the place, arrested two of the men
and confined them in jail The arrest COM
ing to the ears of the thoroughly-craZed
miners, they set out for the jail
with the vowed intention of tearing down
the building and hanging Neuels on sight.
The mob forced its way into the building
and released the prisoners, partially, destroy
ing the structure. Neuels was afterward
caught but escaped with his life through the
efforts of Mine Superintendent Dodd, who
effected his release by addressing the riot
ers, and in the course of his remarks threat
ening to telegraph - to o., the governor . for Or
