Important Discovery in Iron Making.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. Jan. 23.-A telegram was
received by the American late to night, from
DR.. HI. Nj. Pierce, at Goodrich. Hickman county,
Tennessee. which announces that gas has been
successfully applied to the new furnace recently
erected at that place by the Standard Charcoal
Company. and that the furnace was behaving
beautifully. This assures splendid future for
the iron interests of the great charcoal region of
Tennessee. The gas used is driven from the
wood during the carbonizing process. and will
save it is thought, about 20 per cent of the
fuel heretofore required for making charcoal
iron. This will revolrtionize the charcoal in
dustry of the country, and will make charcoal
iron cheaper than coke iron.

miters had been at work and escaped. A re-
porter of the Constitution went to Gainesville,

body in town, and the widest excitement pre-
vailed. lobe jackson and his brother Sam were

laws. Sam jackson was captured, and is now
in Jail lobe is still at large and is being chased

The Newburr yictins.

WHEELING, W. Va, Jan. 23-The bodies of
three victims of the explosion in the Orie shaft,
at Newburg, w. Va, which were found yester-
day, were brought TO the surface to day, and after
being viewed by the coroner's jury we're taken
IN charge by undertaken Berber, to be prepared
Tor burial. Their names are: Daniel Miller, the
eager. whose station was at the bottom of the
shaft; /. Timmons, the fire boss. and his son
William. trapper. The bodies were terribly
mangied, and we're crushed beyond recognition.
The recovery of the hodies proceeds very slowly,
on account of the many difficulties encountered.
80 far, the exploring party has been able to en-
ter the main heading only about 300 or 400 feet
Fears were felt to-day that another explosion
might take place. on account of the rapid &C
cumulation of gas, but the repairs being made
to the ventilating shaft are expected to avoid
this. This morning an excursion party or ex-
perts, composed of j. Little, of Shawnee. Grant
county, superintendent of the Big Vein mine of
the Elk Garden region of ex-senator Henry G.
Dayiss mines; G.. II. Richards superintendent of
the CASTOR mine. at Paramount; Robert
Jack, superintendent of the West Fair
mount mines, and Superintendent Lax
ton, of the Oriel mine, descended the
shaft and remained down for two hours Mr..
Richardson has explored further than any one
that has yet been down He reports the place full
of gas, and in very dangerous condition. There
IS also great danger of the pump which has thus

happen, it will greatly complicate mat
ters, and in order to avoid it, all
efforts are being directed toward clearing
this rubbish away. The experts have decided
that to recover the bodies, without causing
further explosion, it will be necessary to rebuild
the broken bulkheads. This makes, in all prob.
ability, the recovery of the bodies the work of
several days, if not weeks AS far as known,
the miners were working in four parties at the
extreme limits Large crowds have been at the

Banks yictinized for S14.OGO.

KANSAS CITY, Jan. pa well dressed young
man, styling himself j. Whitney. came here re-
Gently and opened an Office, being ostensbly in
the cattle business. He opened accounts with
several banks. and deposited a number
of drafts signed by Omaha banks,
aggregating $4,000. Two weeks ago
he cashed these, and left the city.
The drafts went to the Chicago clearinghouse,
and were paid. When they reached Omaha,
they proved to be forgeries The Chicago clear
ing house has called upon the banks there to
make good the loss. but this they decline to do,
and a lawsuit will probably result. The matter
has been kept secret hitherto Whitney has
probably made good his escape.

hero to-day of double murder, the victims of
which are prominent farmer, Jesse G. Wicker
shall and wife. The tragedy occurred at Mr..
Wickershall's ranch, about twenty miles from
this town. The scene of the murder was visited
by Deputy Sheriff Criglea, and Wickershall was
found sitting in chair in the dining room,
dead, with the blood oozing from wound in
the breast and from another il the head.
Mrs. Wickershall was found dead
in the bed. her hands and feet bound,
and wound in her breast The valuables on
both bodies were intact, showing that robbery
was not the object of the crime Ali the wounds
were inflicted with shotgun. Strong circum-
stantial evidence points to a Chinese cook en-
ployed by the murdered couple. who is nowhere
to be found. 1t is believed the Chinaman took the
early morning train on Tuesday at Cloverdale,
for San Francisco and embarked on steamer
that sailed from there for Hong Kong on

A VERDICT FOR moEr.
The jury in the Famous Case Give
the Defendant Nearly a Hundred
Thousand Dollars

The jury in the Famous Case Civ.
the Defendant Nearly a Hundred
Thousand Dollars.
Boston, Nov. 17.-In the Wilson-Moe1
case this morning Mr.. West resumed his ar.
gument. He declared that the defendant
and his principal witness in holding some.
thing back had given the indication that
they had not told the whole truth. He
could conceive of Mr.. Moen paying $50, 900
as blackmail, but how about Mr.. Rice,
learned in law, agreeing to such scheme
and with two policemen present as wit
nessesa Why did he not have Wilson ar
rested with all this evidenced As a matter
of fact no such meeting as represented ever
took place in Worcester, as they have no
proof of it. Mr.. West closed his argument
at 1890 o'clock exactly, and Judge Carpen-
ter delivered his charge to the jury. ''There
are two separate claims in this case" he said,
(which you must consider separately and re-
turn verdict in accordance with
the balance found due. The transactions al
legged rest on the testimony of the
respective parties to the suit, and accord
ing to your belief in them must your verdict
be. In the matter of blackmail, the threat of
a criminal prosecution for the sake of getting
money is in itself an unlawful act. You
must weigh the testimony on this point
with the utmost care. The burden of proof,
you must remember, is on the plaintiff, and
that in case of an exact balance in your own
minds the defendant is entitled On the
question of the set-off the burden of proof is
on the defendant" The charge was very
short. The jury went out at II :35, provided
with blanks for returning the three forms of
verdict directed by the court
The jury returned verdict this evening of
500, 522 for Moen. There were two separate
claims in the case, Wilson claiming 500, 600
on an alleged contract with Moen and Moen
claiming $40, 900 or more on an alleged con-
tract with Wilson.
Counsel for Wilson gave notice that he
would move for new trial
