Efforts To Reach The Imprisoned

| Efforts To Reach The Imprisoned Miners in the West Virginia Col fiery.
 NEwBURG, w. Va., Jan. 22.-The work of
 rescue is being speedily pushed at the scene | of the mine disaster, but at noon to-day no bodies had been recovered. It is the pre- vailing opinion that all the thirty seven men are dead, although few miners express the | hope that some may have survived and
 reached place free from the fatal black
 damp which always follows an explosion of
 this kind. The scenes about the mouth of the mine are beyond description. fathers and mothers, sisters and brothers of the buried men crowding about and filling the air with their wailings. The company has large force of men divided into reliefs at work
 clearing the debris from the main entry. It
 will probably take all night and perhaps
 some days to accomplish this and reach the

The case was decided against Lynch and there something like $45.21 costs to be paid, Lynch Mr. Hamilton claims, disked the idea of settling up, but gave him twenty five dollars to be paid towards the costs. Lynch's bonds man. one Hubben, gave him twenty-five dollars, but Hamilton claimed that he not aware of that fact.

CHICAGO, Sept. 10.-The western rail-
way general managers, after . three
days convention, succeeded to-day in
reaching basis Of compromise and re.
organizing the Western association. The
two prominent obstacles have been the
refusal Of the Chicago & Northwestern TO
in Western Nebraska and Wyoming, and
the demand Of the Missousi Pacific, that
by reason Of its Lincoln extension IL
should be awarded share of the through
business. The first was settled by Ytr-
tually concediDg to the Northwestern
its points. This was done by removing the
eastern boundary line Of the range cattle
pool as It formerly existed, running
north and south through Valentine
Brady Island, Indianola to Laramie City
andhDouRlaas. kThis gives the Northwest
eEn control Of all the cattle shipped on
its line west of Norfolk to Fort Filter
man for which IL viii exact local rates,
and not report the business to any pool.
AS both the Union Pacific and
that territory, IL viii not enjoy the
monopoly longer than the present sea-
son. The bone Of contention was ami
cably divided by giving the Missouri
Pacific four per cent In the pool on the
through business, and awarding the
Omaha two per cent. The Kansas City,
st. Joseph & Council Bluffs is awarded
six per cent Of the gross earnings in the
Council Bluffs local pool. Other
wise the percentages remain unchanged.
a committee Of one from each road was
appointed to perfect the minor details Of
the pool, to report at general meeting
at IL .. m. tomorrow, till which time
adjournment was taken. The pool,
which will endure i've years, viii 90
into effect September 10, with j. n.
FaithoFn as Commissioner. This COM
pletes one Of the most important and
far reaching railroad combinations ever
made In the west.

WARRINGTON, Sept. 1O.-The Army
and Navy Register tomorrow will say
If public opinion and that Of the army
has 9 right In deciding the fate OF GerO-
nimo and his murdeFous band they will
be tried by q military commission,
speedily convicted and executed with no
undue delay. There is q precedent for
such treatment OF them, II one Is needed,
in the case Of the trial by military COM
mission of the Sioux, after the Mime
sofa massacre in 1862. Five hundred Of
the prisoners weEO then put on trial,
800 Of whom were found guilty
of murder, and thirty EIGHT of them
were hanged. Every one of the band
was q prisoner Of war at the time Of his
escape from the San Carlos reservation.
They had been placed there by Gen.
Crook and were given the liberty Of the
reservation on condition of their not
leaving 1t. They broke their promise
and used their privileges to escape to
again take the war path. They are
paroled prisoners, red handed in the
acts of war, and should suffer the pun
ishment adjudged by the laws of war to
acts of treachery.
SAN Francisco, Sept. 10.-Oficial
dispatches received at Presidio from

da, and has directed Gen. Stanley to take
charge of Geronimo and the other hos
tiles on their arrival at San Antonio, and
hold them there as prisoners OF war.

OTTAWA, Ont, Sept. 9.-Prof. e. Stone
Wlggings has submitted documentary and
other proofs TO the minister of the marine
showing that he predicted as far back g
March of last year the earthquakes pre-
Yai1Ing in the south. He also announced
In the Ottawa Journal on Hay 18th last
the approach OF the subterraaeous distur.
Dances in the same locality. The profes-
sor declared that the worst had not yet
been reached and claims the greatest strain
Will be felt between this period and the
middle of October. The southern states
are agsin to be visited by earthquakes md
disturbances which will extend to Cali
tornia and South America
When asked his reasons for this pedIc>
ton, Virgins said that earthquakes are
caused by the shifting of the earth's center
of gravity. suppose this centre can be
moved say one mile from It's normal centre
of gravity or from the centre volume.
Now what must happen? Why the parts
of her surface at the end OF the logger axis
must be lighter than normally and these
disks therefore wall grind upon each other
generating heat end lava, hence, earth
quakes and volcanic eIuptions. If our
little visible satellite were brought down
and slid around the earth from east to
west, in twenty-four hours earthquakes
would occur of such violence as to render
the globe uninhabitable.
Prof. Virgins claims that the forces
were in action at the end of August and
both of the earth's satellites, two of which
he ssys exist, we're then in perigTee. Ju-
piter wss also near mis- inferior coniunc-
ton, which in q limited degree increased
the strain.

TIE CUTTING CASE


With all that has been said regarding
the now celebrated Cutting case, the orig.
inal cause of all the toll and trouble, we
believe, is not generally known to the pub
lie. Below we give our readers the card
by Cutting that created so much com.
ment. Worse things than this are said in
nearly every newspaper in the United
States every day in the week and there is
absolutely no attention paid to 1t. Cut
ting was the proprietor Of paper in Paso
del Norte, Mexico, the FL Sentinela. A
man by the name Of Menlna proposed
starting an esteemed contemporary, and
Cutting made some derrogatory remarks
regarding Medina, who had him arrested
and the court compelled him to sign q
conciliatory paper, whereupon Cutting
goes across the river on the Texas SIDE and
publishes in the FL Paso Herald the fol-
lowing card:
EL PAso, Texas, June Is, 1S86.-To
EmIgdIo Medina of Paso del Norte: In q
late Issue of FL Sentinela, published In
Paso del Norte, Mexico, made the asser-
ton that Emigdlo Medina was "fraud, !"
and that the Spanish newspaper he pro-
posed to issue In Paso del Norte was a
scheme to swindle advertisers, etc. This
morning said Medina took the matter to
Mexican court, where I was forced to
sign reconciliation"
Now do hereby reiterate my original
assertion, that said Emigdio Medina is a
fraud" and add dead beat" to the same.
Also, that his taking advantage of the
Mexican law and forcing me to q "recon-
ciliAtion" was contemplate and cowardly,
and IN keeping with the odorous reputa.
ton OF said Emigdio Medina. And should
said EmigdIo Medina desire American
satisfaction for this reiteration, l will be
pleased to grant him all he may desire, at
any time, in any manner.

MERELY RnsHWHAnRERs

THE appointments by Gov. Martin in
Usage county up to this time have not been
of character to justify the claim that he
consults prohibitioDists.-B urlingame
Independent.
1t strikes us that he would be very fool.
ish If he did, especially such prohibition
lists as our friend Rastall, who has openly,
declared himself as favoring democracy In
preference to republicanism, and who
quotes one isolated case where a demo-
cratic judge INDUCED in a judgment &C.
cording to law, as cause for SO doing.
The probabilities are that Gov. Martin u
better friend to prohibition than any
member of the democratic auxiliary,
woman suffrage, greenback, mugwump
aid society called third party. If the
laws against burglaries were enforced as
successfully in Emporia as the prohibi-
biuon law is our citizens would rest easier
| at night. Yet we hear of no third party
beng organized with an anti-burglar
plank as part Of the platform. Neither
| do we hear of any great outcry because a
republican government fails to enforce the
law against burglars, or statements that
the law Is a dead letter because every
person who commits a burglary is not
caught and punished. When our friend
Rastall was serving IN the federal army
against the democrats, he did not go to
people he knew to be bushwhackers to
consult them in the appointment of his
aids or inferior officers. Why should he
expect Gov. Martin to do 30 now? The
third party men, according to Rastall's
own acknowledgement, are simply demo-
cratic guerrillas, with the sYowed purpose
OF doing all the harm they possibly can to
the republican party, and 1t strikes US as
rather cheeky that he should ask to be
consulted.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 9.-During the las;
two months repeated attempts have been
made to burn down the National STOCK
yards in East st. Louis, and two Of the
fires started by the ineendiaries caused
considerable damage to the pens and
sheds, but were extinguished before the
flames had communicated 70 any Of the
large packing houses. The perpetrators
of these outrages remained unknown un-
til last Tuesday night. when OAlly, the

to set the house on fire. The inceniarfes
fed at his approach, but he pursued and
caught one Of them, who proved to be

terdsy the father took his boy to Presi-
dent Knox and made him confess. The
boy said that he and two other boys
named John Reed and Alfred Hopkins
had kindled the fires Of June 2 and
August 2 and 6, which resulted IN q loss
Of $50, 900. The boys say they made
three attempts to burn down the yards
because they were refused work.
