THE OSCOOA ACCIDENT.

OscoDA, Mich, April i5.--Geo. Fulton,
one of the two men taken out alive, in the
accident at Graw's mill, has since died. The
other, Geo. Gordon, Is still alive, but in a
precarious condition. The latrer is seventeen
years old, and had been at work less than
half an hour. The work of rescuing, though
carried on with all the expedition eager,
=ypnathizing hands could make, was neces-
sarily slow, as there were but two small
openings in the burner, and broken brick
and mortar are slow to handle. At o'clock
the body of tho first victim, jos. Biddle, the
foreman, was discovered, horribly mutilated,
with a spike driven through the head. The
next found was Geo. Fulton, still alive. Bid
die, Minor, Hardwick and Fulton had fami-
lies To support the others were single men.

ENGLAND PLEASED TOO SOON.
Expressions of Satisfaction at the
Treatment of the Prince in ireland.

LONDON. April 15.-Members of the Gov
ernment to-day expressed relief at the result
of the Prince of wales's visit to Cork. They
consider that the failure TO organize any
alarming demonstration against the royal
visitors indicates real weakness of the Ma
tionalists party. There is genuine surprise
as well as rejoicing here at the extent of the
loyal feeling in Ireland AZ proved by the
comparatively warm welcome extended 10
the Prince in the very stronghold of the op-
position. This evening there was a large
meeting of Parneliites in the public square.
indicative speeches were made by leading
members of the party, but <in them could
easily be traced disappointment at the i'll
success of the attempt TO create an effective
demonstration against the Prince during the
day. A singular feature of the meeting Was
the burning of large numbers of London
newspapers containing adverse comments
upon the actions of the Nationalist during
the Princes stay in ireland.
