CONTINUES A MYSTERY.
The MurderouS Assault Upon an A
in

n
sonia woman.
Mrs. Cornell of Ansonia, who was murder
ously assaulted and stabbed ten days ago and
kept the case secret for days until her con-
dition became alarming, remains about the
same. Yesterday Chief Nolan and Attorney
William S. Downes continued their investi-
cations into the mystery, but without obtain
ing any satisfactory result. The woman, it
is believed, can solve the mystery, but she
will not give the name of her assailant. The
attack was as follows March 10 she heard a
knock at her kitchen door. She arose and
opened it, but before word was spoken an
arm reached through the opening with a
wicked looking knife in its hands. The arm
made lunge at Mrs. Cornell and she fell to
the floor in a swoon. Shs would say nothing
about the affair and lay in bed until her con
dition becoming alarming a married
daughter visited her and learned
for the first time that her mother
had been stabbed. A physician was sum-
moned, who found a wound two inches long
and half an inch deep on the right side of
the abdomen. Mrs. Council is separated
from her husband and the last heard of him
he was in Hartford.

KANSAS CRY, March ga Rich Hill
despatch SAYS: About o'clock this after
noon there was a rumbling sound in mine
No. at this place and q moment afterward
a fearful explosion that entirely wrecked the
mine and buried in the debris over a hun
dred miners who were cut off from all means
of escape. Forty bodies: have been taken
out and at least fifteen more miners are be
lieved to have met a similar fate. The super
intendent of the mine was taken out badly
injured, but will survive. En- the terrible
excitement and confusion it is impossible to
give list of names or even an estimate as to
the full extent of the disaster, but it is
thought over fifty men were killed. Later
news from Rich Hill is to the effect that the
mine is situated six miles distant from the
town. There were two explosions and it is
said that the total loss of life will reach
sixty. Rich Hill is located in Bates county,
about one hundred miles south of Kansas
City on the Missouri Pacific railroad It is
the center of a coal district.
The first explosion occurred at 12:10p. m,
killing twenty or thirty men. Superintendent
Sweeny and his assistant Immediately began
the work of reseuing the imprisoned miners
and up to 4:30 had succeeded in saving if
teen men when a second explosion occurred,
involving Superintendent Sweeny and his
aids. The fire was terrific, shooting out of
the top of the $40 foot shaft like g great fur
mace. Further efforts to save miners was
hopeless, and as hundreds of men, women
and children crowded about the shaft the
scenes were heartrending ia the extreme. At
8 O'Clock tonight an explosion was momenta-
rily expected as the flames were almost with
in reach of a magazine containing three or
four hundred kegs of powder. The mines
belonged to the Keith & Perry Coal com

Housewife House went into committee
of the whole on the Indian appropriation bill.
Mr. Nelson, of Minnesota, took advantage of
the general debate to speak on the tariff.
The great body of the people he said were
agreed that the surplus should be reduced by
q reduction of taxation. The next question
was whether that reduction should be applied
to the tariff or internal revenue taxes. AS
to the tax on alcoholic liquors the ultra pro-
tectionists and the ultra prohibitionists were
the only ones who desired a reduction upon
them. Neither of these parties were large
and the question of the reduction of
this tax was not practicable. In regard to
the removal of the tobacco tax there
was a greater diversity of opinion.
This was a tax which by the judgment of all
nations was the best kind of tax. It was
growing one and one more cheaply collected
than the tariff taxes. There was no serious
clamor for it's repeal. The tariff taxes might
properly be divided into two heads-reyenue
taxes, like that on tea and coffee, and protec-
tive taxes, like that commodities not for
eign to our own country. Only SO high a
duty should be laid as would fairly cover the
difference in the cost of production here and
abroad. That is what he termed a low tariff.
Any rate above that was a high tariff. 1t had
been the fashion to ascribe the higher wages
to the tariff. That he considered to be false
pretence. England was free trade, while
Austria, Germany, Italy and France
were protection, yet wages in Eng
land were higher than upon the
continent The main cause for the lower
wages of Europe was found in the density of
population and greater supply of labor. W hen
our great West was filed up and we begin to
approximate Europe in population, then our
| labor would fail to get better wages under
the protective system. 1t made him sick at
| heart to think that there were leading men
Sc de- ykno STnf 17no fT1pa nnE
think of any other field for tax reduction
| than on whisky and tobacco. Surely these
| were not the things on which the poor
| laboring man kept his family. Would it
not be better to give them cheaper food and
| clothes and shelter9 He would put free sugar,
free salt and free lumber against free whisky
| mass of the people.
The committee then rose and the House at
5:15 p. m. adjourned.

Cinnamon Struggled Into the Country
by a Sharp Traffic in Passes.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 29.-A sensation
was created in the United States court to-day
in the trial of Ferdinand Ciprioo and E. A.
Mclean, excursions inspectors who were in
dicted with w. A. Boyd, also an ex-inspect-
or, ON charges of fraud and conspiracy in
dealing in Chinese return certificates. Boyd,
who has been confined in Jail several months,
came into court and made full confession
of the conspiracy in which he said Ciprico,
Mclean, Interpreter. E. Kipp and himself
were engaged. Boyd stated that in January,
1856, the conspirators made an agreement
with man named A. Hanse that the latter
should take the return certificates to China
and sell them Boyd had charge of the reg
istration department in the custom house,
and the certificates were obtained by procur-
ing the services of a large number of
Chinese who had no intention of going
at the custom house for registration
and be furnished with white
tag which entitled them to certificates, which
of course they never procured. The con-
spirators would then collect these white tags,
which were evidence of the Chinamens de.
partur6, anu tnen Issue certlncaCeS which
they retained in their own possession. Boyd
stated that about one hundred certificates
would be obtained in. this manner on the de-
parture of every steamer. When Hanse first
sailed for China he carried with him five
hundred certificates obtained in this way and
during the next few months five or six hun
dred more we're sent him. These he sold in
China and the money was returned to the
city for distribution among the conspirators.
The Chinese who purchased certificates came
over steamers and were landed in this
country. Boyd stated further that he had
been induced to give this evidence for the
government at the solicitation of Assistant
District Attorney McPike, and at the eonclu-
sion of the testimony Mr.. McPike moved the
charges against Boyd be dismissed and that
he be discharged from custody, which Judge
Sawyer granted. A nolle pros was entered
N the case OF ex Inspector Whaley, who was
indicted on similar charges, and an order was
made directing the marshal to take Inter

aCharge of Fraud.
General William II. Noble, who, together
with George H. Smith, was arrested at
Bridgeport by United States Deputy Marshal
Lovejoy, appeared before United States Com
missioner Johnson T. Platt yesterday in this
city, and gave bonds of $500 to appear for
trial April 10 on a charge of attempting to
defraud the government in presenting q
fraudulent pension claim.
The bonds were fixed in the same amount
in the case of Smith, who was arrested on
the same charge.
Bridgeport people and others who have
known General Noble for many years as an
upright citizen and lawyer will not be easily
persuaded that he is guilty of the crime fo1
which he has been arrested, but will prefer
to think that he was imposed upon when he
was induced to draw up the claim and pre-.
seat it to the pension department.
