In the Nanticoke Mine.

WILKEsBARRE, Pa, Jan. 1S.-There is no
No. i of the Nantlcoke Mine, where the
miners are entombed. A sensational report
was spread through the valley yesterday that
the rescuing party had discovered bright
light ahead Of them, but this is denied on
the best authority. The work of clearing
up the gangways continues slowly. Nothing
has been discovered up to noon to-day, nor
have any signs of the buried men been
found. A considerable stream of water is
now running along the gangway where the
men are at work, and another rush of sand
is feared at any moment. From all appear
ances this morning it will be weeks before
the bodies Of the men are reached, if they
are ever recovered. 1t is possible, however,
that the victims were caught in the gang
ways and overwhelmed by the flood. Their
bodies may be reached at any time.

CRUELTY TO coNvIcTs.
Terrible Story of Abuse and Suffering OF
Kentucky State Prisoners.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Jan. 1T.-Thomas Whal-
len, who was sentenced to three years in the
Pen" at the October term of the Circuit
Court for cutting notorious negro named
Archie Jones, on the 9TH of last March, was
pardOned Thursday by Governor Knott, and
arrived in this city yesterday morning. He
is pale and emaciated, and was broken down
by his short term of confinement. He is
small and very good-looking young man, in
telligent and quite well educated. His case is
a sad one, and elected the sympathy of all
who were acquainted with the circum-
stances. He was young man and well-to-
do farmer, noted for his quiet manners and
temperate habits, who lived with his wife
and three children on a small farm eight
miles from New Albany He came to Lou
isville on the 18th of last March with a load
of produce, which he sold and was return
ing to Portland, when he fell in with
couple of hoOdlums, who got him drunk
and took him around to number of dis
reputable houses. He finally became in
volved in drunken row in a low place in
Portland, and stabbed the negro Archie
Jones. On the 18th of the present month he
was taken to the penitentiary, and sent
thence to the convict camp in Whitley
County where he was put to work in the
Kenzie mines, A petition for his pardon was
signed by many of the prominent citizens
and city officials. Hon. Ashur Caruth wrote
a personal letter to the Governor recon-
mending Whallen's pardon, and last Thurs
day it was granted. Whallen tells a sad story
of his sufferings and those of his fellow-con-
victs at the mining camp. The suffering
during the last cold spell was intense, and
the half-starved men fought like madmen to
rxvf 70 frr~A oil cfO in hQfr
quarters. The miserable log nuts in which
they sleep were poorly built, and the wind
whistled between the logs on every side.
Many, whose limbs were half frozen, fairly
cried, and begged to be allowed to stay away
from the mines, but their prayers were I'M
needed. Several who were strong, hearty
men when they arrived at the camp are now
physical wrecks, and at the expiration of
their terms will be released only to return
home to die.

Pike County, Indiana, Township Trustees
Caught by Sharps.
srecial to the Sentinel.

Special to the Sentinel.
PETERSBURG, Ind, Jan. 1.-THE report OF
our County Commissioners, published last
week, shows an astounding number of orders
for all sorts of things Some of the Trustees
did not know for what or to whom they had
given orders. Others gave various excuses
The Commissioners called in a number of
Trustees and examined them, with the fol-
lowing results:
Trustee Shrode did not remember to whom
or on what date he issued a $50 order on ac-
count of school desks. But as the goods
were received o. h. his report was approved.
John BrentOn's testimony showed TO the
satisfaction of the Board that he did on the
9Th dav of March, 1855 issue and deliver to
c. F. BOOnshot and other parties unknown
certain orders for an unknown amount, of
which no official record was kept.
After closely investigating the affairs of
Mr.. BrentOn, the Commissioners say:
1T is shown by the evidence produced be-
fore the board that no consideration has been
received by said township for said orders
and that said orders are in the hands of un-
known parties" Mr.. Brenton's explanation
to the board concerning these orders was not
clear, and while undergoing examination
became greatly confused. He said that there
was one outstanding order for S315. for
which no goods were received which he in
tended to pay out of his private funds.
While the examination was in progress, Mr..
Taylor, the boards attorney, advised Mr..
Brenton privately, not officially, that tn :
easiest way out of the matter was to resign.
The board did not request Mr.. Brenton to
resign, but Mr.. Brenton did give his resigna-
ton to the board. and +. r. King was APP
pointed his successor.
r. w. Harris, Trustee of Jefferson Town
ship, appeared before the Board. He stated
that in March, 1885, he issued two orders
payable to r. B. Pollard, aggregating 1913.
for which no supplies were ever received
that he found his township was swindled,
and rather than it should lose the amou 1t
he had redeemed the orders with is own pri-
vate funds, and the township had suffered
no loss thereby. His report shows but one
outstanding order, for a small amount. The
commissioners are still investigating but are
close mouthed as to their discoveries. But
il is stated on what appears to be good au-
thority that the outstanding Gopher or
ders will cost Pike County from 5000 to

A Young Lady sand-Bagged.

Quincy, Ill, Jan. 17.-As Miss Kentz, a
handsome young lady of twenty, who is en-
ployed at the Telephone Exchange, was go
ing home last night shortly after O'Clock,
and reached the alley on North Sixth street
between Spring and Oak, some villain rushed
out of the alley and struck her with slung-
shot on the back of the head, knocking her
down and cutting fearful cash on her head,
and in falling terribly bruising her face and
knocking out some of her teeth. Having
done this, he grabbed her handbag and ran
up the alley. At this same place, within
two weeks, two handbags have been suatched
from young ladies. The rascal no doubt
knew that Miss Kentz passed there every
evening at that hour. This being Saturday,
he supposed twas payday, and that she had
her wages in the satchel; if so, he was mis-.
taken, as there was not a nickel in the bag

PARTISAN CRIMES.
A Veritable Murder scare in Paris During
the Past Week.

PARIS, Jan. 17.-There has been verltable
murder scare in Paris during the past week.
Not a day has passed without the horrible
details of some fresh murder being made
public. The assassination of NJ. Barreme,
project of Eure, in railway carriage as he
was leaving Paris on Thursday, was one Of
an unprecedented series of similar crimes,
more notable than the others because of the
higher rank of the victim. One day the
papers were filled with accounts of the
brutal murder of woman who kept little
shop. The shop was entered by two men,
intent on robbery. The woman offered some
resistance, whereupon she was instantly
killed. One OF the assassins hid her body in
the cellar, while the other ransacked the
shop and appropriated whatever valuables
he could lay his hands on.
Another day the sensation was the fatal
stabbing of a son of Manetti Bey, the we'll
known Psychologist, oy retired army Off
Ger. The affray grew out of quarrel be-
tween the two men about a woman of doubt
full character, to whom they were both de-
voted.
The most sensational murder of the week,
however. was that of Marie Aquetan, on of
the best known characters of the Partisan
deml-mond, and formerly member of. the
ballet of the Eden Theater. She was found
one morning in her own apartment with her
throat cut from ear to ear. Her jewels and
6,0OO francs in money had been stolen. The
young woman had been the mistress for
some time past of the cashier of the Franco
Am, rican Club. The cashier discovered her
bod on his return home early in the morn
ing rom the club. All the indications were
thai the murder lad been committed by a
stranger. He had gagged his victim to pre-
vent her making an cutlery.

as follows in a Washington special:
Miss Bayard had been under treatment for
heart troubles for nearly year, and DIR.
Gardner says that he had cautioned her re-
peatedly to avoid excitement, but to her
natural inclination for enjoyment and disre-
garding warnings of her physicians is attrib-
uted her death. Miss Bayard was known as
the most accomplished and reckless horsewo-
man in Washington, and had few equals OF
her sex as an eqlestrienne. She was muscular,
active and full of vitality, and had courage
that made her the wonder of timid women.
Last fall, at the annual running meeting at
the Washington Driving Park, she created a
great sensation by going over the steeple-
chase alone, and leaping all OF the hurdles
like an experienced jockey. People thought
she must be rider employed to attract a
crowd, and when it was whispered about
that the daring rider was the daughter OF
the Secretary of State there was general

LITTLE Rock, Ark. Jan. 1S.-The immi-

Carolina to this State is attracting attention.
The new corners have generally chosen
Chicot, Desha and Drew Counties in South
ern Arkansas as places of abode. The negro
population is very large in that section, par
ticularly in Desha and Chicot Counties
where the Republicans have majority, and
choose County offices, dividing the offices
with the blacks. In the past three months
hundreds of negroes have settled in these
counties. A gentleman in this city received
a letter from Charleston, S. c., stating that
the writer, leading colored man, desired to
locate forty or fifty families, comprising FIVE
