Cayed-in Mine.

Two More Bodies Taken From the
Cayed-in Mine.
WILKEsBARRE, Pa, May 1.-Two
more bodies were brought out of the,
fatal mine at Ashley at noon to-day aud
taken to the morgue. They were identi-
fed as Robert Pritehard and Michael
ScaIley. The body of the latter was badly
charred. Twelve of the bodies recog-
cred yesterday have been identified and
taken to their homes. Four victims
supposed to be in the pit will probably
be recovered soon, as work is progress
ing rapidly at the mine. The opening
OF the mine is still surrounded
by great crowd. Hansen, one
of the victims, was buried this
morning from the morgue. He had no
relatives. The coroner held an inquest
this morning. A jury was empanelled
and they viewed the bodies. They then
adjourned until next Wednesday when
a verdict will be rendered. Two more
victims of the mine disaster at Ashley
were brought out at 2 O'Clock. One is
Michael Henry and the other is so badly
mangled as to be understandable.

Mrs. Grants Quiet Life.

New York Letter to the Richmond Dispatch.
A well-equipped brougham dashed
through Central Park the other after
noon. The driver was in deep mourn
ing, and the sole occupant of the back
seat was conspicuous for her pale face
and widows weeds. 1t was Julia Dent
Grant, widow of Gen. Grant. She
was out for her afternoon airing
through the Park. There was stream
of carriages and horseback riders, but
not one person of that fashionable cav
alcade knew the distinguished woman.
Mrs. Grant looked what she really is
far from we'll. She has been ailing for
a long time, and is very seldom seen
in society. Her eyesight is very
poor. She attends church regularly
when her health permits, drives
out because her doctor insists on it, and
lives a quiet, peaceful life among her
own circle of friends. One OF her most
frequent callers is Gen. Sherman. He
often dimes at Mrs. Grants house, and
is on the most intimate terms of friend
ship with her coterie of friends. When
Gen. Grant was alive all the big and
little men of the country who visited
New York paid their respects to him,
but they have forgotten his widow, and
now she is never troubled, except, per-
haps, when some old soldier whom her
husband beTriended comes to inquire
after her health. or some of the dead
generals most intimate friends pay
what may be called 'duty calls"

from Toledo. A gale such as the one of
this time last year. in which the Bavaria
was lost, struck the schooner this morning
and tle Brock Succumbed to the terrible
weather. The tug Calvin found the
schooner careened over on her side, but
owing to the height of the storm no per-
son could venture to go near her. Her
crew of eight had disappeared and no
one remained to give any account of the
terrible disaster. One Wolfe island
family loses four OF its members.

COMBINED GALA MITES.
Tomsk, Siberia, Visited by Fire
and Cyclone.

Tomsk, Siberia, Visited by Fire
and a Cyclone.
ST. PETERSBURG, May 17.-Horrible
scenes are reported as having occurred
during the burning of Tomsk, the capi-
tai of Western Siberia. The place was
visited simultaneously by conhagra-
ton and a cyclone, the result OF the
combined disasters being the destruc-
ton of three-quarterS of the buildings,
which were of wood, and the loss OF
hundreds of lives. The cathedral, stu
ated in the high town, is in ashes. The
an adjacent hospital, burying the
roasted alive. The garrison brutally
refused to render the least as
Sistance in saving lives and property,
on the plea that they had enough to do
to protect the barracks and other gov
eminent buildings. They also added
that they had no time to assist worth
less eXiles." In strong contrast to this
action of the troops was that of the
worthy bishop and his assistant priests.
Marching through the burning city at
the head of procession, with banners
and other sacred emblemS, he slapped
at frequent intervals to give absolutiOn
to the dying apd to bless the dead. And
never was the consolation carried by
these sacred rites more greatly needed
than by the panic-stricken mob of suf-
fererS, who huddled together in the
streets, and, firmly believing that the
end of the world had come, abandoned
themselves to stolid despair. Much If
the suffering. however, might have been
averted had there been the slight
est attempt at organized relief.
AS if fire and water were not capable of
inflicting misery enough to the unfor-
tunate Outcasts, the storm was followed
by sudden fall in the temperature,
and soon the devastated city was buried
beneath mantle of snow that added
singing cold TO the sufferings of the
thousands of shelterless men, women
and children.

SHE SWAN FOR HER LIFE.

A Woman Survivor of the Quetta
Disaster in the Water for Hours.
Pail Mall Gazette.
By yesterday mornings Australian
mail we have for the first time full par
ticulars of the Quetta disaster, and the
narratives of the survivors. We sub
join the principal points in the graphic
statement Of Miss Lacy, undoubtedly
the most interesting figure in the events
OF that calamitous night in Torres
straits. Miss Lacy says she was sitting
in the saloon writing letter, the other
ladies being practicing for a concert,
when, without moments warning,
they heard loud, grating sound, the
ship rocked violently and chorus of
confused noises broke out on deck.
Miss Lacy rushed on deck, and al
ready the ship was sinking. "Going
aft" she says, twas like walking up
hill. The part to which l was making
my way was high above the water"
But hardly had she reached the aft part
of the vessel than it. too. rapidly sank,
and in moment 200 human beings
and a large number of sheep
''were all in the water in a
heap, the people struggling and shrek
ing terribly" Miss Lacy, with great
difficulty, managed to eXtricate herself
from the confused mass, and being
practiced swimmer succeeded in getting
clear of the whirlpool caused by the
sinking ship. She then relieved herself
OF all Superfluous clothing, and swan
about for two hours in the hope of COM
ing across some of the survivors.
Atmidnight she heard cry from
distance, and swimming towards it
found that it came from raft rudely
and hastily constructed by the chief
officer. She availed herself of this
temporary refuge, and remained
on the raft until noon next day,
when, finding that it was MAX
ing no progress. and fancy
ing that she saw an island on the verge
of the horizon, Miss Lacy determined to
trust once more to her swimming pow
ers, and in spite of the remonstrances of
the chief officer she dived into the
ocean and struck out in the direction
she had marked for herself. But she
had previously miScalculated the dis
lance of the island.
All that afternoon and far into the
night she was in the water without life
belt or support of any description, re-
lieving herself by swimming alternately
on her face, back and sides. She said
she felt no fear of the sharks that
abound in these tropical waters, but the
fearfully hot sun scorched her terribly,
and every now and then she had to
thrust her head under water to save
herself from sunstroke. She is under
the impression that for part of the
time she was asleep in the water.
AT length. after being for twenty-four
hours altogether alone in Torres straits,
she was picked up in an almost exhaust
ed condition by boat belonging to the
search steamer Albatross. For some
hours after her timely rescue she was
delirous, and fancied herself living in a
submarine hotel. No more signal proof
of the. value of swimming as lady's
accomplishment has been furnished for
many day than this extraordinary ex-
perience of Miss Lacy's.

SIBERIAN oUTKAGEs.
EngIand's Government Not in a
Position to Expostulate

fOSltIOn TO FXpOSsulate.
LONDON, May 17.-Mr. Gladstone,
speaking at Lowestoft to-day, said the
English public conscience had been
greatly shocked by the reports
of Russian prisoners being ruth
lessly shot without the usual
form of a trial and by the fact
that these outrages passed without the
reprobation Of the Russian government.
Men had been asked: "Why don't you
denounce these OutrageS in the house
of commons?" But he felt scruple
about asking the government to take
steps unless he could see the way to a
favorable result. He desired to see
the law applied in his own land, where
ever cruelty and oppression were found.
He would he glad if the government
was in position to eXpOstulate with
Russia, but he feared that Russia might
retort that country whose police ruth
lessly shot innocent Irish citizens en-
gagged in public meeting was hardly
i'll position to dictate how another
country should treat its cOnvictS.

DRAINED WITH AN AK.
A Maniac Murders the Superin-


~
tendent of a Poor Farm.
FREEPoRT. ILL.,, May IA dreadful
affair occurred at the county poor farm
this morning. Jacob S. Reisnger, for
many years the superintendent of the
Institution, was murdered with an ak
by an insane man named William Will
helm. 1t appears that Supt. Reisinger,
a farm hand named Gangle and Will
helm started out in a wagon to build
fence. The front seat was occupied by
Reisinger and his man, and the lunatic
stood up behind them. Wilhelm picked
UP an ak that was in the wagon, and,
raising it, brought the sharp edge down
with tremendous force on the head of
Reisinger. Gangle jumped Off the
wagon and ran for his life. After Will
helm had inflicted ten cuts with the ak
on his victims head and body he
jumped and made for Gangle. The
horses ran away and threw the body
out. The maniac was caught in a
barbed wire fence, but afterward
started away with the ak in his hand.
1t is feared that he will kill the first
man he meets. The affair has created
the widest excitement, and small
army of men are securing the country
in search of the murderer and they will
shoot him to pieces on sight.
