MALONE STILL IN THE sApDLE-T

MALONE STILL IN THE SADDLE. The &C,
ton of the Virginia republican State COM
mittee, held at Petersburg Thursday even
ing, shows that General Malone still retains
firm grip on the machinery of that organi
cation. Notwithstanding be has been
abandoned by Hons. Johu S. Wise, j. D.
Brady, H. II. Riddleberger, Ex-Governor
Cameron, and others who were his trusted
lieutenants in other campaigns, he succeed
ed in pushing his ''unit" rule for the cleo.
ton of delegates to the national convention
through the committee by an almost unani
nous vote. But whilst the General held the
trump cards in the committee meeting, it is
given out that everything is not as lovely as
the autocratic chairman of the State com
mittee would like. His opponents, under
the leadership Of the Hon. John s. Wise,
will elect delegates to the national conven,
ton by districts, and these will claim seats
on the ground OF compliance with the call
for the convention. 1t is threatened that
Mahone's recent secret circular in the inter
est of Mr.. Sherman and in denunciation of
Mr.. Blaine will be introduced III the con-
vention by Mahone's opponents. Altogeth.

FORTY FIVE DEAD MINERS Rich Hill,
No., March a0.--Forty-ive dead MIXERS
have been brought to the surface. In The
tunnels, chambers and passages wheJe the
men were at work they were caught like
rats and sufocated and burned before any
opportunity to escape was offered. The
heat was SO intense and the air, filled with
coal dust and smoke, was SO suffocating
that several of the rescuing party succumb-
ed and had to be carried out by their CON-
fades. The wounded were first taken out.
but they were few, and many were beyond
all hopes of recovery. Many dead were
found stretched out with tools in their
grasp, showing that death came swift and
sure. The bodies were all warm, and it
was hard to distinguish the dead from the
unconscious living.

DEATH OF GENERAL THOMAS II. Will
IIAMsoN.-The Virginia Military Institute
was opened November 1889, with General
F. H. Smith, Superintendent, and Col.
Jno. T. L. Preston, Professors. Shortly
afterwards, General Thomas II. William
son, of Norfolk, was added to the Faculty,
ard his connection with the Institute con-
tinued till recently, when, in consequences
of feeble health, he could no longer per-
form the duties of his chair. His decline
was gradual and fully realized. He died al
his residence in Lexington on the afternoon
Of the 31st ultimo at $50.
General Williamson was most estimable
and accomplished gentleman, and his death
will be mourned by his colleagues and q
large number Of friends. More than forty
five years of continuous service 10 his State
at the Institute associates his name With
much of its imperishable history, and be-
queaths 10 his memory an enduring place
in the hearts of the many who have gone
forth from its halls brighter and Drawer
men for their contact with him.

WoMAN's WoRK.-It appears that in late
years there has been a wonderful increase
in the opportunities offered women for en-
ploymen5 and work. For instance, in 1910
only seven occupations were open to her
outside of the domestic household, IS stated
by Harriet Martineau on her visit to this
country, But from the last patioua, census
it appears that there are npw nearly 800 in
dastlill o c,p4tions in which women are
working. In Massachusetts alone women
are engaged in 2S4 occupations, aud be-
tween $4,000 aud 800, 900 women are earn
ing living in them. This is certainly q
most gratifying exhibit, and we believe that
in few years more the sphere of woman
work and usefulness will be still further
enlarged. --Lyachburg Advance.

First Blood Fer MahOne.

The meeting of the Republican State
Committee ia Petersburg Thursday night
resulted in a triumph for Malone in small
way. The committee decided nothing but
the time and place of holding the coEven-
tioE, it is true, but, as was foreshadowed in
the Va'ginian several days since, there was
practical trial of strength between the two
factions on the place of meeting. Johu S,
Wise wanted the convention held in Rich
mond, as being less under Mahone's i'm
mediate domination and influence and as
affording q broader theatre for the ''high
jinks, politically speaking, which he pro
poses to kick up when the time comes.
Malone wanted Petersburg for personal
reasons which are clearly apparent, and is
wishes prevailed. Petersburg gets the cor
vention and Malone will run the circus y
to suit himself. That will be the outcome
gift. The 18th Of May. the date of the con-
yention, will be memorable day in the
capital Of the ''Black Belt" aud don't you
forget it. There will be ''high old times"
in the ancient burg, when Malone shall pro-
coed, as he intends to do, to override and
overwhelm the disaffected white element in
the convention with his colored cohorts.
For this reason We could wish that some
other day had been chosen than the ore im
mediately following the date Of the Demo
cratic Convention, SO that we might take in
all the fun without having our minds dis
tracted with party cares of our own. The
selection of May II is an Indication OF a
disposition on the part of the Republican
managers to keep their proceedings in the
background as much as possible; to hold
their convention under the shadow of the
more important Democratic gathering at
Norfolk, in which public interest will be
chiefly centered at the tim and in this
way avoid attracting outside attention to
their quarrels and discussions. They can t
very well hide their party skeleton in a
closet in this way, however. 1t will out.
So far as human ken can perceive the pros
poets of Republican harmony in Virginia
in the approaching CAMPAIGN is about as
promising as Mr.. Blaiue's chances for re-
covering his health; and from all accounts
the latter are very gioomy.-Lynchbwg Vir-
gilman.
