Archbishop Walsh Denounces the
English Press.

DUBLIN, Jan. 1S.-In the chapel of Michael and
John today Archbishop Walsh denounced the En-

In civil enactments three principles are

the crime is immature, the penalty purely

penalty is defensive and declarative and the
place Of punishment the gallows. Ill.
The former class is comparatively small,

KENNEREc pEEENCES.
Congressman DngIey Presents Petit
tions In the House.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-Mr. Dingley has
presented to the Secretary of War petitions
of large number of citizens of Bath, PhlpS-
burg, Georgetown. Richmond and HallOwell,
asking that preliminary measures be taken
TO better protect the mouth of the Kennebec
river in case of war. The memorial is as
follows:
The undersigned citizens of Maine and resi-
dents upon and near the Kennebec river in that
State, respectfully represent that the Valley OF
the Kennebec and contiguous districts are pros
porous and wealthy part of our country, and the
seat of great agricultural industry and of large
trade, commerce and manufactures; that the
water power of the Kennebec and the Androseog-
gin its chief tributary is very great; that the en-
ployment of such power is now large and likely to
increase to an ndetinite-exte thus constituting
this locality one of great Importance and present
ing to an enemy in case OF war, great temptation
as field of plumber and most effectual devasta-
ton.
And we further represent that the Kennebec
from it's mouth to Bath, the town of largest ship
building operations in the entire country, is navi
gable for the largest ships and for smaller vessels
thirty miles farther up that all this large region
is absolutely without any effective defence from
the incursions of an enemy and that in case OF
war an enemy with small force could easily gain
military possession of the State by entering into
this river, and we believe the common welfare
and the interest of the State demand some effec-
tual protection by the government
And we further pray leave to direct your atten-
ton to Fort Popham at the mouth of the Kenne-
bee, an unfinished structure on which work was
suspended about twenty years ago; the surveys,
maps, plans and reports relating to which, and
the grounds to the same belonging. we suppose
to be in the archives of the Department and the
undersigned beg leave to say that is believed, If
the original design of the said fort should be
found inadequate, in viewof the improved artil-
lery of the present day. that the work may be
made to constitute an effective defence as tor
pedo station.
And we respectfully pray that you will cause
an examination of the matter in question and take
such other and further measures, as may be found
needfulto a full understanding of the subject and
recommend an appropriation for such work as
may be found advisable in the premises and for
the completion and repair of the fort.

MINE EXPLOSION.
Thirteen Men Meet a Terrible Death
from Five Damp.
A Disaster Which Casts Gloom Over
Wyoming Town.

EVANSTON, Wyo., Jan. 16-The fire damp
explosion in mine No. 4 at Almy, three miles
northwest of this place, proves to be one OF
the most serious in the history of Rocky
Mountain coal mines. Occurring as It dld at
night. the death roll was limited to 13 per-
sons. The whole face of the country, and
that portion of the settlement fronting the
slope, gives evidence OF the terrible force OF
the explosion. The weight and fan houses
were entirely demolished The engine house
was wrecked, while residences and business
houses lost fronts windows, doors or CHM
news. The mouth of the slope has the APP
pearance of huge funnel from which fully
a thousand cubic yards of rocks have been
torn and distributed over the adjacent
country.
A train of 13 cars going down into the
mine at the time of the explosion were
broken into fragments, and shot out as
though from the mouth Of a cannon. Will
liam and Joseph Evans, passengers thereon
were most terribly mutilated, the former be-
ing blown over the engine house and por-
ti0n of the town. The body was found 700
feet from the mouth of the slope, minus the
head and arms and the contents OF the stom-
ach 1t had bounded and rolled fully 30
yards after striking the ground. Many peo-
pie living near the mine narrowly escaped

roof of Superintendent Faulk,s residence,

a great hole in the earth 20 feet in diame-
ter, and rock weighing over ton fell
through the roof into the kitchen, demolish-

were Mormons, married, and they leave large
families.
Two foremen are employed to examine the
mine every night for fire damp to see that it
is clear before the day shift goes on. These
men both carry open and safety lamps, and
it is believed one of them ventured into some
4ho xrrbn an q
quantity of gas had accumulated.
The mines are worked by Beckwith

Pacific. The dead are Enoch Thomas, Frank
Mason, John Peake, Ellis Gredgerman, John

A SAD STORY.
How a Leading Chicago Man Landed
in the Penitentiary,
Through, as He Says, the WiIes of
Cruel conspirators.

CHICAGO, Jan. 17.--Milton Weston, who
stands convicted, in Allegheny county, Pa,
as an accessory to a murder, returned to
Chicago yesterday to close up some business
affairs prior to returning to Pittsburg to re-
ceive his sentence of four years in the Riv-
erside Penitentiary. Weston's reputation
here has been beyond reproach, both as a
business man and socially. He has mother,
wife, children and brothers residing in this
city, all of whom are highly esteemed.
"For forty-three years." he said to re-
porter, Il have lived here and done business,
and no man can place black mark
against my character anywhere. This thing
has cost me $26000O, besides $4,000 for
lawyers fees, about all the fortune that

and pledged her diamonds to help me out OF
the trouble, but am still here, though the
victim of a cruel conspiracy. The story has
never been told. 1t was for me to buy and

leases conveyed to me by Brunot having

and in violation of the sale to me, Brunot
sold the same to another gas company, being

large stakeholder, and it, through him or his
agents, attempted to dispossess me. At that
time myself and wife were living on the
land, and for several days and nights before
my wife had been there almost alone, having
but one lady companion in the house.

WORK OF CONGRESS.
A Spirited Discussion Likely to Come
Up i'm the House.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE past week
having been devoted to speech making and
executive business, the calendar remains al
most exactly as it was at the beginning of
the week with respect to measures of general
legislation. The judicial salary bill is un-
finished business, and the Dakota bill, bank
ruptcy bill and electoral count bill are to be
brought forward for debate and action as
soon as possible, and an understanding will
probably be reached Monday or Tuesday by
the Senators respectively in charge OF these
measures as to the order in which they shall
be taken up. Senator Harrison's resolution
looking to an inquiry into certain statements
of the Commissioner of Pensions regarding
the official acts of his predecessors, and Sen
ator Voorhees, substitute for it. are still
pending. Senator Eustis has given notice OF
his intention to deliver speech Tuesday up
on his resolution to pay In silver the bonds
that have been called for redemption on the
first of February. This resolution, with Mr.
Beck's substitute for it, is still in the finance
committees hands with no probability of re-
ceiving early action.
In the House tomorrow, after introduction
of bills, committees will be called for mo-
tons to pass measures, one for each commit
tee, under suspension of the rules. A two
thirds vote is required in every instance.
The committee on military affairs will avail
itself of this opportunity to bring before the
House the Senate bill appropriatlng $450,000
to purchase the old Produce Exchange build
ing in New York city for armory purposes.
The business of the House for the rest of the
week will depend upon the action Of its com
mittees, many of which meet Tuesday and a
few tomorrow Among the more important
measures that are likely to be discussed in
