Death From Heart Disease Comes
to Him While Alone.

Ex-Secretary of War w. w. Bel
KNAPP, OF Iowa, was found dead on the
morning of the 18th, in room adjoin-
ing his Office in Washington. 1t is be-
lieved death occurred between one
o'clock Saturday and nine o'clock Sum-
day morning. From John w. Cameron,
the generals business partner, it is
learned that for some time it has been
the generals habit TO meet at the
home of q friend near by for social
game of cards. Saturday night, Octo-
11th he was there as usual, returning
TO his room in the Evans building at
about midnight, and 1t is presumed he
retired Immediately. About $3.50 next
morning Cameron came to the build
ing and not obtaining admittance to
the generals room after repeated
knocking the door was forced open.
General Belknap was upon the bed
partly uncovered. His left arm was
bent rigidly and his left hand tightly
ciinched, as though death had come
while he was in commissions. His
wife and SON were both summoned. An
autopsy was held later at which the
fact was disclosed that the immediate
cause OF death was inflammation OF
the inner lining OF the heart. As soon
as the death OF General Belknap was
known at the war department, Acting
Secretary Grant ordered the flag on
the building to be put at half.m in
honor OF the ex-secretary, and gave
directions that the building be aped
in black for the customary period.
The death OF Gen. Belknap. Gen.
Grants secretary of war, will be the
first knowledge many people outside
OF Washington have had of him since
his retirement from the war office
more than fourteen years ago. The
old gentlemen was a familiar figure ir
Washington, however, and his porIly
form, curly, reddish beard, tinged
with gray, erect figure and clear eye,
would never have suggested that he
was on the threshold of eternity. Since
his resignation from the cabinet, Gen.
Belknap has practiced law in that city
and at times has made good deal OF
money. During the long absence OF
his WIFI and daughter to Paris, he
lived much OF the time in a modest
bed room connected with his office,
and 1t was here that he was found
dead. His wife returned to Washing
ton last winter with their daughter,
bred in all the accomplishments Of
the French school and with n beauty
that made her the center OF an admir-.
ing group AT the official receptions.

POWDER EXPLOSION,
Dupont Works Blown 90 Atoms aud
Many Pc rsons Killed.

Dispatches from Wilmington, Della
ware, give details OF "a terrible success
sion Of explosions which occurred At
tho Dupont powder works on the af-
ternoon OF the eth. Une OF the maya
zines went off first, and the rolling
and drying mills near by were set OIL
by the concussion. Following in rapid
succession there were at least seven
successive explosions. Every house
in the neighborhood Is reported
wrecked or unrooted. aud more or less
damaged. Telephone inquiries from
West Chester state the explosion was
distinctly heard in that section.
LATER-A messenger has just
brought in the following dispatch
which shows the worst is not yet
learned Of the powder mill explosion;
"1en killed, twenty wounded.
Rockland a complete wreck; none of
its houses left standing
Richland is village on the Brandy.
wine, fully mile above the scene OF
the explosion. 1t composes large
paper mill owned by the Jessup n
Moore company, and about fifty dwell
lings in which chiefly reside the mill
employees. Its population Is about
struction At that distance leads TO the
belief here that the number OF killed
is not yet fully ascertained. The Of
flee OF the Dupont company is CON-
plete wreck and six mills are in ruins.
Several members OF the Dupont firm
were injured by falling walls aud
broken glass, but none OF them seri-
ously. The dead We're all employees OF
the company and were in and about
the mills that exploded. Several
workman are missing and are believed
to have been blown into fragments.
The first explosion occurred in one
OF the packing mills where workman
named Gran was receiving can OF
hexagonal powder to be shipped for
the use of the United States govern
ment. In some way II spark was COM
municated to the can and it blew up.
Instantly the packing mill exploded
and the other mills in the upper yards
seven or eight in number, followed at
intervals in less than ono second. All
these except one were rolling mills, in
which the Ingredients OF tho gun
powder are pulverized by vertical
rollers OF stone turning slowly around
center post.
Immediately after the explosion n
large building known as the refinery"
located near the center OF the village,
took fire. 1t was a matter of life and
death to the whole population that the
fire should be eXtinguished before ii
communicated with the powder that
the building contained. The Dupont
fire brigade hurriedly extinguished the
flames. Had tho roof fallen in IL is
doubtful il . man. womah or child in
the vicinity would have escaped death
or serious injury. About fifty families
are rendered homeless by the disas-
ter.
The estimated loss cannot be less
than $500, 900. The shock was felt at
points thirty miles distant.

Assistant Secretary Bussey has rem.
dered in the case OF Russell s. Cole, OF
Company L, First New York veteran
cavalry, decision that defines the
status OF prisoners OF war, who, having
enlisted in the rebel service In order
to escape Imprisonment and return to
their own command, rs applicants for

ruling made bv Commissioner Black,
May 20, 1885, in which the commits
sioner held that, regardless OF the cir
cumstunccs and OF the motives, Il

rebel service, even as II device OF es-
cape from starvation aud imprlson-
ment should kbe held as having "vol-
unfairly" aided the rebellion aud IL
debarred from pension. After pre-
senting fully tho legal aspects OF the
question, the assistant secretary says
"The department musV ba controlled

FOR A FORTUNE.
A Peculiar Tale Originating in Ire.
land and Closing in st. Louis.

The Baltimore Sun prints a story
of an effort to get u st. Louis legacy
up in the millions. One hundred
years ago John Welsh and John Null
laugthy owned fishing boat in part
nership in county Kilkenny, Ireland,
and divided theprofts equally. Welsh
was married. One morning Welsh
found that his partner, as Mr.. Welsh's
decendents OF to-day allege, had dis
appeared with all the money OF the
Iirm. After lapse OF "a century the
money which Mullangthy is said 10
have taken turns up as legacy valued
at IS, 100000 and held by the arch.
bishop of st. Louis for the heirs OF
John Welsh. 1t is the accumulation
OF years, and represents but n small
portion OF the fortune left by Mullang.
thy at his death. Before his death 1t
is stated he wished to make some re-
stitution 10 his former partner and
friend in Ireland, and he left some
cash and several blocks OF land in st.
Louis as private trust to be given
TO the heirs OF John Welsh. Bishop
Rosetta OF st. Louis and two Catholic
priests were named as executors.
The claim is now made to the legacy
by Mrs. john Powers, q granddaugh-
ter of John Welsh, who lives with her
daughter, Mrs. j. S. Brown, at Laurel,
Md. For years she has known OF the
legacy, and through all these years
she and her husband and their chill
dren have worked indefatigably to
secure the fortune they believe due
them. Mr. Powers died last Novem-
Der. Mrs. Powers and one OF her
sons went to Ireland some years ago
in search OF evidence to prove her
right to the fortune. She and her
husband removed to st. Louis and
passed ten years in their efforts to es-
tablish theirclaims. Then they re.
turned to Baltimore utterly discourage
ed and disheartened, but recently
Mrs. Powers has secured new evidence
and once again her hope Of success
has taken rise.

ing ut Tipperary.

The case OF the crown against VIM.
.O'Brien and. John Dillon, charged
with conspiracy in melting tenants
not TO pay their rent, was again called
in the court at Tipperary on the morn.
ing OF October 10th. O'Brien and
Dillon have hitherto been present at
all the hearings, but that morning
when court opened they did not put
In an appearance, and II was rumored
that they had left the country. Much
excitement prevailed in Tipperary
when it was known that the two de-
PENDANTS had abandoned their defense
and left the place. Confirmation OF
the rumor that they had left the coun-
try was received, but none was re.
ceived, however,of the.report that they
had sailed from Queenstown for the
United States. Information thus far
obtainable shows that they did rot
leave by the ordinary channels Of pas
sage. Their forfeited bail OF 50, 900
each viii be paid by the National
Land League.
AT the request OF counsel for the
crown, the courts certificate OF non
appearance was attached TO the bail
bonds OF Dillon and O'Brien. Ad-
iournment was then taken 10 enable
the crown 10 consider what steps
should be taken. Warrants have been
issued for the missing nationalists.

THE POWDER HORROR.
Particulars OF the Horrible Explo-
sion Near Wilmington.

The corrected list shows that eleven
persons were killed. and twenty, more
or less injured. The men who were
killed were working in and about the
magazines and mills, and, except in
the cases Of three, were blown 10
pieces. so that only fragments OF their
remains have been found. II is the
theory OF the worhmen that the ex-
plosion was started in some way by
the soldering iron which Green was
using in soldering the tin covers on
the cans OF powder. The wounded
are being cared for by tho neighbors
and friends, and the killed were pre-
pared for burial. William Green WIS

THE BANDIT KING.
The Dead Body OF RuDc Burrows
Arrives at Birmingham.

The dead body OF the bandit, Rube
Burrows, reached Birmingham Oct.
9th, and was gazed upon by hundreds
OF eager sight seers as it lay In the
plain pine box, The pale face and
stifrened limbs, as they lay in death,
and even the very features and every
part Of this Desperate, seemed TO
speak volumes OF his life of robbery
and plumber. There was look OF the
ideal outlaw about the stern express
sion on the face. Tho body of Bur-
rows had been placed in u pine coffin
just us he had died, wearing the same
old clothes except tho shoes, of which
he had been reliev I'D. The body was
transported In the baggage car with
the lid turned on the box without be-
ing nailed. There came with it the
search party who had been securing
the wilderness OF South Alabama ever
since the robbery on August 20 hound
ing the modern terror. IL had been
decided that a photographer should
take n picture OF the dead man and
accordingly the coffin was erected on
end in n corner. Burrows Martini

side when the picture was taken.

A GREAT JURIST DEAD.
Ending OF the Life ofJustice SAM
uel T. Miller.

Justice Samuel F. Miller, died at
eight minutes to III o'clock in WASH
ington on the night OF Oct. 18th, with
out struggle and apparently with
out pain. A few minutes before no
died the phlegm in his throat gradu-
ally accumulated and his frame quiv-
cred. 1t was evident that the end
was fast approaching, and the mem.
bers OF his household that were not in
the Sick room were hastily summoned
to his bedside. Besides Mrs. Miller
and her son Irvine, there were pres.
ent DIR. Cook, j. w. Woodwork, an
old friend OF Justice Miller. who had
just arrived from Omaha, the family
servants, and Chief Clerk Mckenney,
OF the supreme court. Soon after
death the face Of the justice, which
had become somewhat drawn during
the last days Of his illness, changed
to a perfectly natural condition, and
he looked as il in quiet sleep. The
remains will be removed to his home
at Keokuk. Iowa where they will DO
inferred in the family burying grounds.
Mrs. Touzalin and Miss Corkhill,
daughter and granddaughter OF the
justice, had not yet reached Washing
ton. The Star says, editorially, OF
OF Justice Miller:
OF Pennsylvania stock on his fathers side
and North Carolina blood on his mothers, a
native of Kentucky, and a citizen of Iowa at
the time of mis- appointment, Justice Miller
has united all the characteristics of strength
solidity, intelligence, conscientiousness that
characterlZes the people from whom he sprang
Appointed to the associate justiceship OF the
republics supreme court In the midst OF the
gigantic struggle Of the union for existence he
was one OF the foremost figures OF the federal
judiciary In the settlement OF the important
questions growing out of that contest.
A sincere and earnest Republican from the
Fremont campaign in 1856, he supported the
policy of that party in those measures which
firmly established its supremacy and deter
mined the eorr.c OF the reconstruction.
Among the opinions written by him at this
great period was that in the New Orleans
Slaughter house cases which maintained the
validity Of national power under the new con-
stitutional amendments In the tweDty-eight
years of his service on the supreme bench JUS
tice Miller has delivered opinions on II large
number of cases involving high questions Of
government and his lucid and weighty words
have settled them perhaps permanently. In
the Kilbourn- Thompson case, the delimitatlun
of legislative power and personal rights OF the
citizen was most clearly made The right of
the national legislature, however, was upheld
by him and the court of which he was spokes-
man in the matter of interstate railroad
Transportation. So clear cut have beeu many
of his judicial and unofficial utterances in
favor of the constitutional rights of
the states In the union, that by some state

Every one who knows Mr.. Whistler
knows Mr.. Whistler's white tuft, which
is as much part Of the man as tho butter
fly is part of his writings. Attention
may be drawn, says the British Medical
Journal, "to remarkable example Of
similar popularity which was published
last year by ~ T.. Pascal in the Uniuers
Wusire. In an old Limousin family
with which that gentleman is acquainted
nearly all the members. both male and
female, have from their earliest youth
turt OF perfectly white hair, such as
adorns the head of well known London
artist This tuft is generally situated
over the brow, but sometimes is on the
temple, and more rarely at tile back OF
the head. The family has been famous
for this distinctive mark in its own part
OF the country for 300 years, and they
are said to be as proud of it as Redsaunt-
let was Of the hereditary horseshoe vein
on his forehead. The white lock, which
can be seen in the family portraits for
many generations back, is said to bs
rather becoming, even to the young
women of the line.
