JUDGE ROGE'S CASE.
His Place il Wanted for Same Hungry
Republican.
Special Telegram. 10 he Register

SDecidI Itteqfdnt 10 us HtyietU
WASHINGTON, February l5.-Therc
is much Indignation here among citizens
generally, aud West Virginians in par
ticular. at President liarrisOn's action
in demanding the resignation Of Judge
Hoge, of West Virginia, whom PreSi-
dent Cleveland appointed attorney for
the District of Columbia. Judge lioge $
term Of Office will not expire for nearly
a year yet. His predecessor, Mr..
Worthington, was not disturbed 10y Mr..
Cleveland until his term had
expired and It was thought that
Harrison would have the deceucy
to treat Judge HOge In the
same manner. But not only is the lat
ter TO be turned out 10 make way Tor
Republican. but the administration has
had added meanneSS 10 the attempt
to conceal the real motives OF the re-
moyal by allowing tile iutimation to go
out that Judge Hogc has not performed
the duties of his Office in satisfactory
manner.
In speaking Of the matter to-day Rep
resentative Wilson said: "One who
knows Judge Hoge win not believe for
an instant that he has not discharged
faithfully and intelligentiy all the duties
OF his Office. Any intimations or alle-
gatiouS to the contrary are olsen
genuous and contemplate. There can
be no reason for iSremoval at this time,
except that his place is wanted for some
hungry Republican. i, is disgraceiul
for the administration to attempt to eN-
cuSe or Justify its action on the preteNt
that Judge Hoge has not made an ELI
cient and conscientious District Attor-
ney. 1t is disgracriul to remove him
before the completion OF his term OF
Office after Mr.. Cleveland'S courtesy IN
allowing his predecessor to retain his
place until his commission had expired.
Judge Hoge said tonight that the
President had asked for his resignation
and he had handed it in, TO take effect
the first Of March lie was not at all
sorry to give up the Office.

TIE MAMMOTH NINE DISASTER.
What the Coroner's Jury Report As the
Result of Their InvestiGati0n.

GREENsBtIG, Pa, February ld.-The
Jury In the Mammoth Mine explosion
case, after short deliberatiOn this
afternoon, rendered the following YER
diet: at is our opinion that the cause
OF the Mammoth Mine explosion on
January -, 1891, was carburetted
hydrogen ga> accumulated in the lower
bed or dip Of the Mammoth Mine. No
evidence exists TO show the condition Of
the mine at that time, or that any gas
had existed in the mine at any time TO
any considerable amount prior TO the
explosion. We find all machinery
about said mine in good condition and
working order.
.'Whlle we find the II. c.. Frick Coke
Company has not been guilty OF any
neglect in providing comfort and care
for their underground employees and
miners, we do protest against the EN-
pl0yment Of fire bosses, mine bosses and
pit bosses in any mills who are addicted
TO the use OF liquor. We also believe
that there should be an amendment to
the mining laws Of the State against the
working OF any mine under water
level with any flame or open light, but
to compel the lighting Of the same by
electricity or safety lamps. We also re-
commend that no person be permitted
to enter any mine now operated in this
State or hereafter opened out except
those whose names or number shall be
kept in a book or registry at the en-
frances of mines"

TIN ORE DISCOVERY.
Rich Deposits Discovered in the Blue
Ridge Mountains in Virginia.

MHLwoon, w. Va, February ID
About Two years ago Captain VIM. ii.
Sales, proprietor Of Capon Springs, Il
well-knOwn summer resort, twenty-six
miles west Of Winchester, while pros
pecting in the Blue Ridge, discovered
tin ore. He purchased some Of the
mountain land containing the ore. Ten
barrels of the ore were shipped from
Boyce Station, on the Shenandoah Val
ley (now Norfolk and Westernl railroad,
but where IL was shipped TO nobody
about here knew. although the diScov-
cry provoked considerable comment at
the time.
The general belief was that the ore
was shipped to England for the pur-
pose Of comparing it with the tin ore OF
Cornwall. Nothing more was heard Of
the ore, and the matter was dropped
from the public mind until recently,
when large extent Of land on the
mountain in and around the ore vein
owned by Captain Sales was disposed Of
under a trustees sale. 1t brought a
sum much in excess of the usual price
paid for mountain land, and the people
were still more surprised TO lind that
the purchaser represented Captain
Sales. After securing this big tract
of land il j. now announced
that the Virginia Tin Mining
Company has been incorporated
with Captain Sales rs President and
several well-known men Of Winchester
and Baltimore as directors. The capi-
tai stock is Sl,OO0,OOO, and it is said
that all has been subscribed, and the
work Of developing the mines will soon
begin. Big smelling works are To be
erected. the owners believing that they
have found probably the finest deposit
in the United States.
The mines lie OH the western slope OF
the mountains and few miles north Of
Ashley's Gap, and about sixty miles
southwest of Washington, as the crow
flies. People OF the Shenandoah valley
are not disposed to criticise the tin
plate clause of the Mckinley bill as
freely as heretofore.
