 Futher Sherman Hears the News.
 A pilot, who boarded the Majestic with Providence newspapers with the news of Gen. Sherman's hopeless condition on the day preceding his death, conveyed that news to Father Sherman. When the cut ter went alongside the Majestic last night to take Father Sherman off the mail boat lay along the other side of the steamship, and Father Sherman called to man on the tender:
 Have you any news of Gen. Sherman?'
 Funeral tomorrow" answered the man in the mail boat. "Is his son aboard?"
 II am his son." replied Father Sherman, and when he was met a moment later by Father Van Rensselear he said:
 "Your face tells me the tidings you have brought me. Ialready knew it."
 A Successful Death Mask.
 The plaster cast of the head of the late Gen. Sherman made by Augustus St. Gau- den has been examined and pronounced satisfactory and perfectly successful in every respect. The cast was made, it is understood, not for use in any particular bust or statue, but that the features of the great general might be preserved as last seen by his family and friends.

LEGISLATIVE NOTES.

Very little business was done by the Senate on Tuesday, Feb IT.
 Wednesday was 0 memorable day in our legislative department; memorable. iu the House for the disciplin of Rep- resentative Albert H. Walker for abu- sive epithets applied to Governor Bulkelsy; memorable in the Seuate asi one of the most disgraceful sessions any legislative body ever held within our state. On Tuesday Gov Bulkeley sent 8 proclamation to the Senate announc- ing the death of General Sherman, and suggesting that both branches of the General assembly appoint delegates to accompany the governor and his staff in showing the sympathy of the state at the funeral of the last of the great military commanders. The House ap- pointed eight members for this purpose. The Democratic majority in the Sem ate refusing to recognize Gov Bulkeley spent the time in reviling him, also for political purposes they refused to ap- point delegates to represent the state at the funeral of General Sherman giv- ing the petty excuse that he wished as little pnblic display as possible at his funeral.
 The Democratic members of the Sem ate by their small manner of conduct ing their sessions, and refusing to take any steps towards an equitable settle ment of the election contest, are bring ing upon themselves the censure of the press of their own party in adjourning states. ..-
 Gov Bulkeley showed his great heart and patriotic disposition by announcing that he would Day from his own pocket the expenses of all veterans Whether they had fought under Sherman or not and no matter of what political faith they were) who wished to attend Gen Sherman's funeral.
 The Senate sulked and staked all day yesterday, (Feb- 24) and no progress was made. It still refuses to recognize Governor Bulkeley or receive any com muuications from him.

 The Cause q Mystery.
 The cause of the disaster is a mystery, as the slope was examined by a committee of the men last week and reinspected yester day by the deputy government inspector.
 Three Sons and a Brother Dead.
 In several families the affliction is very great Reid Carter and his two sons are among the dead. The Carmichael family lose three sons. Jesse Ormishaw went down No. ? slope last night and found his three sons and a brother piled together in a heap in one corner of the mine. The sight so unnerved him that he had to return to the surface without his boys. Two sons of Robert McVey both under IA years of age, occupy one coffin. Hugh Hunt loses two sons These sorrowful households are only few of the large numbers from which bread winners have been so ruthlessly snatched. The deepest gloom has settled over the whole community and the inhabit- ants were astir all night.
 Bodies Frightfully Mutilated.
 Some of the bodies taken up were fright fully mutilated and had to be identified by the clothing or marks on their bodies. The mines outbuildings have been con- verted into morgues and hospitals where the dead and injured are taken. Clergy

 The Scene of the Explosion. The scene of the explosion was in the immediate vicinity of Nos, and slopes. The greatest number of deaths occurred there. This part of the mine was visited by Deputy Inspector of Mines Madden Friday morning. MT. Madden makes the following statement of his examination at that time: 'I entered No. 1 slope at 6:45 R. m, passed through the tunnel into west seam, tested the air and found it carrying one per cent. of fire damp. Then I came down and went into west sink, thence to the face of west level going west, tested the air but could not get any reading worth noting. I came out of tunnel and went to the face of east side level thence crossed to the west side of No. 1 slope, went up to top of balances where pillars are drawn, tested air and found it clear of fire damp.
