IT is with deep sorrow that we chronicle
the death of jeremiah Morse, one of our
most estimable citizens, at his home last
Friday morning. The cause of his death
was inflammation of the bowels brought on
by an accident the Tuesday before. AS we
are informed, he was engaged in. cleaning
out his stable that morning, when some crea-
ture, in passing him, struck the hoe which he
was using in such a way as to cause the end
of the handle to strike him near the pit OF
the stomach, and although the skin was
not broken the fatal result followed in
three days from the time of the accident.
The deceased was farmer and enjoyed
the good opinion of all who knew him.
This accident is made doubly sad by the
fact that some time within the past year or
two his wife had become insane and was
conveyed to an asylum AT Concord, n. H.,
where she still remains, leaving a son the
only remaining member of the family in
town. - The time for holding the annual
Masonic ball and concert has been set for
Friday evening, January ~. 1t is TO be
held at the Wilson House and Hough Il
Moore's orchestra of Hartford is to furnish
the music From the preparations being
made we shall expect it to be one of the
best, il not the best, of any OF the series.

What MT. Gladstone Said.

LONDON, Nov. 6-Mr. Gladstone arrived at Birmingham yesterday, where he will re- main until Friday. He was received with great enthusiasm. He was driven to the town hall in a carriage drawn by four horses. A great crowd met him and numerous deputa- tlons presented him with speeches. MT. Gladstone said in an address that the ad- dresses recognized the fact that the Irish question was really the English, Scotch and Welsh question, and until that question was settled the country country could know neither peace nor progress. He said that efforts to solve the fisheries question with the United States had been egregious failures. The Liberals did not wish to increase the diff faculties of a settlement but they were de- sirous that by judicious choice of persons, and the suggestion of measures the question should be settled in a manner tending to draw both countries in closer relations. The Sackville matter, he said, was unfortunate. T. z~Salteu iii iunIcUton of a serious slight and disparagement upon England. He hoped the matter was capable of a satisfac- tory explanation The incident ought to moderate the vaunting and bragging of the Tories

Kcttie Creek Mine Horror.

RENovo, Pa, Nov. 6.-The coroner held an inquest at the scene of the Kettle Creek mine horror yesterday, but the jury has not rendered verdict yet. The cause of the ex- plosion is still mystery. The bodies of the dead were buried to-day. Of the sixteen dead, thirteen have no relatives in this coun- try, and they were buried in the cemetery here. The others were taken to North Bend Snowshed and Wellsville, N. Y. When the bodies were discovered after the explosion they were mostly found many feet away from where they had been working. One, that of boy l9 years old was in a sitting posture against the side of the mine His right hand held his left foot ill a firm grip, and it was With difficulty that the fingers were opened The body of Michal Curren, which was blown l50 feet beyond the mine, was lodged between two logs, and in his right hand lie held the handle of the shovel with which he was working when the explosion occurred

HIS LAST SLEEP.
A Tramp Attempts to Enter a Dynamite Store House for Lodging, and Explodes Three Tons of It with Awful Effect.

A Tramp Attempts to Enter Dynamite
 Store House for Lodging, and Explodes
 Three Tons of It with Awful Effect.
 PITTSBURG, Nov. GA terrific explosion of three tons of nitro o-glycerine startled the residents of the Ohio valley for ten miles on all sides of Shannopin at f 20 yesterday morn ing.
 The magazine was located on hill west of Shannopin. It was frame building which had been used as a storage house for this ex- plosiye for two or three years. There were several houses adjacent, the nearest of which, owned by family named Mccoy, suffered severely by the concussion. The shock threw all of the inmates out of their beds, broke the windows, burst open the doors and gen, erally wrecked the furniture Another house, owned by Joseph Leech, was almost as badly used up and Joseph News cottage had a somewhat similar experience.
 A grove of lofty trees encircled the maga- zine. Tall oaks were torn from their roots, and some of them were split into splinters There was hole in the ground at least fifty feet deep under the place where the explosive was stored.
 The theory of the explosion is that tramp tried to enter the store room to sleep there, and that in some way he ignited the nitro glycerine, perhaps by hammering at the door and causing sufficient shock to explode 1t. A tramp was seen going in the direction of the magazine the night before and no one saw him return. The remains of brush wood fire were found not far from the place. and also tomato can, which, it is thought, the tramp used to cook in. If the tramp theory is correct the man must have been blown to fragments, for no vestige of his body has been discovered.
 MT. V. o. Hickman, the owner of the ex- plosive, is unable to throw any light on the accident, and believes it was caused by Q tramp. The people in the village of Shame pin were much frightened by the shock.

AN lNHUMAN SEA CAPTAIN.
Sailors Fed on Rotten Meat aud Tortured
 in VRrious Ways.

TACOMA, W. T., Nov. 8.-Sixteen sailors of the ship Hecla, which arrived here loaded with wheat for Great Britain, entered suit in the district court against Capt Snow, of that vessel, for cruelty. They allege that the Hecla started for Cardiff, Wales, with a crew of sixteen men. After she had been out but short time the captain began feeding his men on rotten meat and potatoes, which were not fit to eat, and both Capt. Snow and his msse shamefully abused the sailors. While near Cape Horn Capt. Snow attacked the carpenter, breaking his jaw and knocking out many teeth. A few days later he nearly killed one of the men.
 When debilitated by the poor food they were unable to work and were at times put in the hole and tied up forty-eight hours One of the men was tied to stanchion foul days without food. During this time his scanty rations were placed within sight, but out of reach. When the Hecla reached Aca, pulco the men were weak from ill treatment and insufficient food. They were cast into a dungeon and kept confined until the vesse' was ready to sail. The men appealed to the United States consul at Acapulco, but were unable to obtain any assistance from that quarter.
