count of his career, since his arrival in
this city in 1878. 1t gives details OF his
employment by number Of respectable

famous criminal cases, in some Of which
he assisted the State. He then goes
over the old Matranga-P -Provenzano

case. He reasserts his belief that
the five Italians who were tried for mur-
dering HennesSey were innocent. The
statement contains no new develop
ments. O'Malley says: "As to my the
ory of the murder, | have one, of course,
but in the absence Of more direct evil
dence, l should not like to say what that
theory is. 1t is certainly not any Malta
or Dago business. Perhaps l may at
some future day speak further on this
subject, at which time l will have some
thing to substantiate the statement
may make"
In conclusion, O'Malley says: II de-
sire to say this: Conscious of my inter-
ference in opposition TO the advice Of
my friends, l refused to leave the city,
and surrendered so soon as | had any
intimation that had been indicted.

mitted to live in this community.

CLARKSBURG, w. VA, May This
morning about : o'clock at the Ocean
coal mines, two miles northeast Of this
city, owned by Wilson, Black and Sher-
idan, there occurred a terrific explosion
from gas. The report was heard miles
distant, and brought throng of people
from Bridgeport, Clarksburg and ad
Joining neighborhoods to the vicinity of
the awful disaster. Seven men had de-
Scended into the mines, of whom three
came out. and there were some forty
men waiting for the mules and their
drivers and preparing to go to work
when the catastrophe took place.
The entrance to the mines as well as
the two shafts, located about one thou
sand yards apart, were badly damaged,
the timberS torn out and the pillars and
supports blown down. The cars inside
the pits were thrown distance OF 230
feet and water was forced out Of the
mine entrance to great height.
Joseph Feather, ChaS. Welsh, Nathan
Gaines and VIM. Doughterty were in
Stantly killed. The bodies OF Welsh
and Gaines have been recovered. They
are in fearfully mutilated con-
dition and burnt almost beyond
recognition. Several unsuccessful ef
forts have been made to rescue
the bodies Of the other persons who per-
ished Feather leaves a wife and six
children, Welsh a wife, Gaines wife
and seven children, and Daugherty a
wife and several children. The scene
is heartrending to hear the anguish and
see the weeping and wailing of women
and children.
The mine inspector has not yet ar
rived, and no steps have been taken to
hold an inquest which would certainly
be proper under the circumstances. The
explosion is supposed to have originated
in this way, that main heading enter
ed a ''horseback" or clay vein. thereby
causing a great flow Of gas during the
night to accumulate in the headings,
and as the men were going to their
work with lighted lamps they ran into
this gas, causing the explosion. This
was followed by after, or fire damp,
which prevented the other exploring
party from making any progress in res
cuing the entombed miners. THe props
are now on fire, and it is believed the
coal in the hill will take fire. The dam
ages are great and cannot now be esti-
mated.

fense of a Drunken Picnic Crowd.
MONTGOMERY, ALA, May IA ter
rible race riot was narrowly avoided on
the Western railroad at White Hall to-
night by the GOODNESS and determina-
tion of Conductor r. w. German.
When the regular passenger train
reached that point two carloads Of
drunken negro picnickers were at
tached to the regular train. No sooner
was this done than the drunken negroes
made a rush for the ladies car, and
some of them entered it swearing and
using all sorts of vulgar language. The
conductor took in the situation, and
rushing into the express car, returned
a moment later with half dozen Win
chesters and some revolvers. He quickly
organized a posse among the passengers
and trainmen, and ordered the negroes
out of the ladies' car. They appeared
Sullen, and were inclined to be stubborn
at first, but under the muzzles of the
deadly firearms they were slowly forced
from the car and into their own COM
partment without any bloodshed. The
conductor experienced considerable diff
fculty in preventing the crowds at the
different stations along the line from
asSaulting the negroes on the train.

WHEELING W. VA FRIDAY MORNING, MAY g. 1891.

neral agrees substantially with that
received in the press dispatches from
those two points. The Attorney Cen
eral refused to indicate what FUR
ther steps he had taken IN
the matter since the escape OF
the two vessel, or TO discuss the prooa-
bilitv of any international complications
arising in connection with the matter.
The Attorney General had several con-
ferences on the subject with the Secre-
tary of the Navy during the day, and
this gave color to the story that efforts
were TO be made to recapture the ltala.
"Can YOU take the vaSSel on the high
seas without violation of law?' report
er asked Secretary Tracy.
''Yes: sir, " replied the Secretary en-
phatically.
''Will you do it?" asked the reporter.
Il have no answer To make TO that,
replied the Secretary. you can't skin
a hare before you catch him"
This seems 10 summarize the present
situation. The italia will be captured
if possible. But she has large start OF
any purSuer. Probably the new cruiser
Charleston is the only naval vessel In
those waters that would be able 10 cope
with the audaciouS and well armed ltala.
But the Charleston is at San Fran
cisco. a day would be required to
coal her and then she would start
from point several hundred miles north
of the place the italia left, so that prac-
tically the Chilian vessel has at least
three days start of her purSuer. The
Navy Department officials will not say
whether or not the Charleston is
to 20 in chase, but it is known
that they have been canvassing
the possibilities of the case.
The escape of the ITALIA raises tangled
and important questions of Interna-
tional law. The Alabama claims,
which cost the British government
twenty million dollars, arose in Slmi.
lar manner through the equipment OF
a confederate vessel in an English port,
and the supplying of men and guns ana
ammunition by British vessels.

Surgent party, who have been trying to
come TO some understanding with the
President by which the civil war might
be brought 10 a termination.
There is, therefore, a complete rup-
ture in the peace negotiations, and it
would appear that the struggle which
has been going on for months past be-
tween the President and the Congress
Sional party must be renewed and fought
out until one side or the other is utterly
crushed out.
President Balmaceda has given notice
of the withdrawal of bank notes, the
withdrawal to take place at the rate Of
10 per cent. monthly. The President also
demands that all import duties shall be

SAD AND SORR0WFUL.

The Silver City Sentinel, one OF our
more or less esteemed contemporaries, i'll
its last issue devotes three columns of its
editorial page to statement that it is
very much dissatisfied with the present
condition of New Mexico; that it strongly
disapproves of the course of Judge McFie,
Judge Seeds and U. S. District Attorney
Fiske; that it does not approve of the fact
that the administration of New Mexico in
all its branches is honest, competent and
efficient and that it does not like the way
matters and things official are being con-
Quoted by the Republican administration
Of the territory. This is all very sad,
sorrowful and horrible, but as the SEN
tinel is mot in it" these days, the chances
are that it will have to bear this heavy
burden for some time to come.
