Shortly before the term of ex-Dele-

romance IN connection with the mar

Mr.. Voorhees, Is the son of the Indiana

OF we'll known Indianapolis family.

MahOne's Prospects.

With such men opposing him as
the leading Republicans are who
have come out against Malone,
what possible reason can he have
for expecting anything but certain
defeat? None. Read what ex.
Congressman Yost's paper says Of
Malone this week:
"Were the Republican nominee
for Governor sincere, conserva-
tive representative of those issues
in this canvass the Republicans
would carry the State. But Gen.
Malone can never 90 so. Plat
forms will be so much waste paper
arguments on tariff and internal
revenue and like interests will be
thrown 20 the winds. 1t will sin.
ply be whether the people of Vir-
GINA are willing to pass under the
iron rule of VIM. Malone or assert
their manhood and their power of
burying him under a popular ma
jority of from $4,000 to $4,000. 1t
isn't tariff, it isn't Republicans N
that is at issue. 1t is Msboneism,
and the people Of Virginia Will
never endorse it nor vot to place
the old Commonwealth under its
disastrous influences"

papers and Sir. Harrison and his
Cabinet look at the facts of the
case ?

ELEVEN MEN LOOSE THEIR LIVES
~ a COLORADO COAL NINE.
DENVER, COL, Sept. 1O.-A
special courier sent out from here
last night to the scene of the coal
NINE disaster, near Golden Col. re-
turned to this city at o'clock this
morning, and gives the following
account OF the disaster, which places
the nnmber Of the killed at eleven,
instead of ten. The mine is situated
one mile from Golden, aud produc.
es from fifty To- one hundred tons
Of coal per day, and the men who
lost their lives were at work in the
drit from the bottom shaft 80 feet
down, and were 500 feet from the
shaft. Tne drift runs along side of
what Is known as the old LOveland
mine. Yesterday morning there
was fifty feet OF water in the old
shaft. At 6 o'clock last evening
1t was visited by the manager OF
the White Ash to determine what
connection it might have with the
rush OF waters noticed in the White
Ash mine, when 1t was found TO be
dry, the water having passed into
the shaft where the men we're at
work. There is no possible hope
of rescning the eleven men alive,
and 1t will requlre days, if not
weeks, of hard ldhOr TO reach their
bodies. All that could be done
last night was to make arrange
ments TO start the pumps this
morning. Around the mine en-
trance are huddled together the
widows and orphans Of the victims.
Occasionally one of them ventures
nearer aud peers down into the
shaft upon the cruel waters that
have taken their beloved ones from
them. One glance should satisfy
them that there is no possible show
of ever seeing them alive again.
However, mothers continue their
prayers, while their children keep
moving about to keep warm, as the
air coming down from the noun.
tains Is very chilly at this season
of the year.

ANTWERP'S GREAT CALAMITY
ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY KILLED.
FIVE HUNDRED AND FIFTY
INJURED.

NEW YORK, September The
Herdlds Antwerp special says that
Immediately after the explosion
yesterday it seemed as though a
rain Of glass was falling over the
surrounding county. There is not
a whole pane OF glass IN Antwerp.
The castrophe took place IN a pow
der magazine belonging to VI.
COrvillains, a merchant who had
recently purchased forty millions
of old cartridges, intending to sell
the powder. His work people,
oyer one hundred in number, more
than half of them being women,
were occupied in the task of open
ing those cartridges when the ex.
plOsion took place. To what 1t
was due there is very little hope of
discovering; for not one of VI.
COrvilian's employees has as yet
been found alive. A few minutes
after che explosion vast sheet OF
flame leaped up into the sky aud IL
was seen that petroleum ware
house not tar from the powder
magazine, was on fire. Then the
Maison Hydraulque OF Antwerp,
which furnishes :h9 motive power
for all the cranes aud other ma.
chimes OF the port, suddenly gave,
way and became a heap Of ruins.
Everywhere in the stee,s were
wounded persons and at frequent
intervals one came across parts of
the human frame, such as legs and
arms.
ANTWERP, September THE
most reliable estimates at noon to-
day place the casualties, resulting
from the explosion yesterday, az
100 killed, 80 seriously injured
and 300 slightly injured. The fire.
men, assisted by the military,
worked throughout the night, the
parties at worked beng relieved
hourly on account OF the Intense
heat, and the otherwise exhaustive
character OF the work, a number
of sailors and customs officers were
killed on board the ships by flying
bullets with which the sides and
rIgglug of the vessels were rIddled.
1t Is estimated that POO tons of
cartridges exploded. The report
Of the explosiod was heard thirty
miles. Heads, legs, arms and 9th.
er fragments of human bodies were
found half a mile distant from the
scene OF the explosion.

Robbed and Murdered.

&. 5. Walters, who kept a gro
Gerry at Sewell's Point, was found
murdered IN his bed room yester-
day morning. 1t was supposed
that about three O'Clock in the
morning parties called at the store
and woke up Mr.. Walters, and as
he opened the door he was struck
senseless with club and then
beaten to death. the broken skull
and mangled face plainly showing
the manner OF death. The mur.
derers then robbed tue store of
$50 and q lot Of merchandise, af.
ter which the body of Walters was
placed between two cotton mat
tresses, which were set on FIRE. The
fire burned slowly, and when the
body was found by members Of the
family one arm aud q portion Of
the face only we're burnt of. The
authorities were notified, and two
negroes who acted suspiciOusly in
boat near Sewell's Point we're ar
rested, taken to Norfolk and lodged
in Jail. Both had spots of blood on
their clothing, and are believed to
nave concealed the plumber.
