How the She'll Acted.


In going over the battlefield at Malvern
Hill we came across one of the monster
shells thrown from gunbOats IN Turkey
Bend. An hour later, in going up the
Varnum road, we met four cOlored men
driving a mule and cart, and told them of
the location ofthe relic. They hurried off
to get it, and we went into the National
Cemetery. Just as the party were ready
TO return to Richmond the mule belonging
to the cOlOred gang came Gathering past,
having the thills dragging behind him
He was pretty closely followed by one Of
the negroes, who went by us at 2:40
gait, and would not stop to answer ques-
tions. In about five minutes a second
one came up, hat off and face covered With
blood. AS he stopped to pant he was
asked what had happened.
"Pow-pOwful times, boss!" he gasped
out.
Aren't you one of the men who went
after the shell?'
"Deed l is. an I'ze one of de men who
found it, tOO!'

PARLTAMENT'SNEWRULES
RESTRICTIONS TO BE PLACED
ON THE PRESS REPORTERS.

Threats that Publication of the Debates
VIII be Suspended-The Admittanee
of Strangers to be Very Rigldly
Looked After-Threats of More Out
RACES Numerous.
LONDON, Feb. 14.-SeveraI of the
morning papers of to-day had arti
cles on the new rules to be en-
forced at the re-assembling of the House
of Commons next Thursday. The rules
have been framed with a view to barring
out reporters. The papers threaten to re-
taliate by emitting reports of the debates
in the House.
THE ADMISSION OF STRANGERS.
The new regulations for the admission
of people TO the House of Commons are so
stringent as to amount almost to prohibit
zion. Members who ask for permission
from the Speaker to introduce persons
will be held answerable for the conduct
of persons SO admitted. Strangers will
not be allowed to promenade on the ter
race even if escorted by members.
Members of the press holding seats in
the press gallery are greatly excited over
the Speakers new regulations abOlshing
the rule granting to the press representa-
tlves admission into the inner lobby OF
the House OF Commons and forbidding
reporters to 60 into the leading corridors,
or to use the committee rooms for the
purpose of transcribing their reports. A
deputatiOn of journalists has been ap-
pointed to see the Speaker with a view
OF inducing him to rescind the objection
able regulations. The reporters are urg-
ing the managers of their papers to SUD-
press reports of the debates unless the
restrictions are modified.
BOYCOTTTNG IRISH TARnRFPS
There is a growing movement on the
docks of London and among builders and
other tradesmen to dispense with the ser
vices OF Irish labOrers. Fifteen hundred
Irish WOTkmen have recently been sum-
marily dismissed from buildings in the
course of construction in East London,
their fellow wOrkmen of other than irish
nationality being unwilling TO work be-
side men whom they regard as possible
dynamiters. Reports have been received
that similar movement has started at
Manchester, Liverpool and other pr0yin-
cial centres.
WARNINGS OF ATTACK.
The authorities have again received let
ters containing warnings that St. Paui's
Cathedral and the Bank of ENGLAND were
to be attacked with dynamite. Detectives
Roper and Wilson, two of the govern
ment's principal witnesses against Cum
nlngham ana burton, are annoyed by the
frequent reception of threats against their
lives. Recently these threats have been
written on paper stamped with a skull
and cross bones, and apparently issued
by some murderOus organization Mr..
Roper has received letter advising him
to order his coffin, and assuring hun that
he would ''neet his fate'' before next
| Saturday.
The police and other witnesses for TIE
Crown in the case OF James &. Cunning
ham, the alleged dynamiter, charged with
high treason-felony, in causing the recent
explosion in the Tower of London, have
received letters threatening them with
death if they persist in giving damaging
testimony against the prisoner.

short Again in Court.

NEW YORK, Feb. 14.-The examination
of Richard Short for the attempt to muir
der Capt. Phelan was begun to-day in the
TOmbs Police Court. Capt. Phelan and
his big revolver appeared together, and a
policeman took charge of the pistol until
the court adjourned. Capt. Phelan de-
scribed the circumstances of his going to
O'DOnOvan Rossa's office and Shorts as
sault upon him. The policeman who ar
rested Short testified to that circum-
stance, all of which have been minutely
described heretofore. The knife was pro-
duced and identified. Shorts counsel
then asked for an adjournment until next
Saturday, which was granted. Phelan
afterwards denounced the adjournment
as unjust. He said that it cost him loss
of time and money.

WAsHINGTON, Feb. 14.-An Albany
| (N. " special of tO-day's date says:
| ''Senator Voorhees, and Congressman
Cobb, of Indiana, arrived here late
last night, and this morning spent an
hour with President-elect Cleveland. Mr.
Voorhees, urged strongly Senator Nc
Donald for the Cabinet, and brought
letters from % Democratic Sena-
tors in Mr.. McDOnald's favor. After the
visit Mr.. Voorhees, would say nothing
save that he found Mr.. Cleveland an at
tentive listener, and that the request for
( Mr. Mcdonald was a whols-souled and
spontaneous one. Mr.. Manning is under
stood so far to have changed his views as
to be willing, if Mr.. Cleveland urges him
to take a portfolio, to accept it with
genuine reluctance. 1t more likely to
be the Post ONCE than the Treasury De
partment. Mr.. Cleveland is said to be
wavering between Col. Villas, of WiscOn-
sin, and Gen. John G. Black for the War
Department. Mr.. Bayard for Secretary
of the Treasury and Mr.. Garland for At
torney General, is the definite opinion of
| those best qualified to know. Josiah G.
Abbott, of Boston, called on Mr.. Cleveland
late last evening AMI left the city on a

THE INDIANA DELEGATION.
The Voorhees, visit to Cleveland was
prompted by the fact that the Indiana
Democrats who called on Mr.. Cleveland
last week brought back no satisfactory
information about either of the two pro-
positions they presented to Mr.. Cleveland.
These were fist that Mr.. Mcdonald
should be appointed to the Cabinet, and
second that the Republicans in the civil
service should be turned out of Office as
speedily as possible after the 4th
/ of March. When they returned
to Washington they brought nothing to
| comfort the Indiana heart. Their Opin-
ion, as gathered from what they had seen
and heard, was that Mr. Cleveland was
inclined to proceed slowly in making re-
mogals from office; and as to Mr.. NcDOn-
aid, they really knew no more than be-
fore they saw the President-elect
He was very attentive to the delegation,
and spoke IN the highest praise of Mr..
Mcdonald, but he never intImated that
he considered him indispensable to the
next Cabinet. The Indianians were not
pleased with the outlook. Senator NoOr-
hees went to Albany to endeavor to get
something tangible from Mr.. Cleveland
in regard to the matter which Indiana
Democrats hold to be so very important

SALT LAKE CITY, Feb. 14.-The start.
ling news was brought here this evening
that the town Of Alta was nea! ly wiped
out by an avalanche. 1t has been snow
ing for a week and is now - feet deep on
a level, with the storm still raging. Last
night, soon after 3 O'Clock, a tremendous
volume of snow swept down ever
the Emma mine works, doing
no damage there eXcep: taking
the smoke stack along. Then it struck
the town, crushing about three-quarters of
it, but fortunately many of the houses
! were deserted for the winter. The place
is built at the foot of cOnverging gulches
and the slides had a fair mark. fuckers
and his hotel crushed. Valleys
works, including the building
and tramways, were crushed. Two men
at this mine happened to be in drift and
| escaped injury. A large portion of the
victims were in boarding houses. Twenty
eight in all were buried, but twelve were
dug out alive this morning. The rest are
undoubtedly dead. Men from the
CITY Rocks and Evergreen mines
the bodies. Three had been taken out at
last accounts amid much difficulty, the
rescuers battling with a heavy storm and
low temperature. One man was not dead
| when brought out, but died soon after
wards. A Tescuing party started from
here in the morning, and it is possible
that some of those reported dead may be
| saved, as on former occasion some peO-
pie were found alive after having been
| buried three days.
THE FREIGHT ACCUMULATION.
CHICAGO, Feb. 14.-W estern roads are

not yet ready to handle dead freight and
at present they are shipping principally
live stock, dressed beef, and other perish
able freight that has been detained on ac-

ablehandle much dead freight, coming here
by Western lines, as considerable freight
has accumulated at the yards and on the
side tracks of the various roads, which will

ton of affairs is a serious matter for the

from doing much through business for
