PrTrsBURG, Nov. 22.-In a communi-
cation received from the eI-leader of the
Homestead strikers, Hugh ODonnell,
now in the county Jail awaiting trial on
the charge Of murder, Mr.. O'Donnell
says: II am not in a position to criticise
the acts Of my late associates. The world
has never witnessed before so much suf-
fering and sacrifice for cause. The
5000 laborers and mechanics who came
out with our men on pure principle
alone is unprecedented in the history Of
labor struggles. But to the men in the
Lawrenceville Union mills) and Beaver
Falls mills too much praise cannot be
given. Their loyalty and steadfastness
to the principles for which they were
contending should never be forgotten.
Out of consideration for them l regret
that the Homestead struggle should
have terminated in the manner in which

AppIvinp for souvenIr Coins.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-The treasury
department is flooded by correspondence
from all over the country from all kinds
of people asking that souvenir Worlds
fair coins be secured for them. This
volume that it has become task to ar
rangeit. Secretary Foster said last night
that he had nothing to do with the coins
except to have them struck off at the
Philadelphia mint and to turn them over
to the Worlds fair commission when
the commission certified to him that
they had properly expended so much
money. The matter of disposing of the
coins was under the sole control of the
commission and he had nothing to do
with them

CHARGED WITH THEFT.
A Warrant Issued for the Arrest of
Hungarian Priest.

HAzLETol7, Pa, Nov. 22.-The trustees
Of the Hungarian Catholic church Of
this city appeared before Alderman
German and caused warrant to be is
sued against Rev. Father Rossolka,
charging him with embezzlement. Rev.
Mr.. Kossolka is widely known in Hun
garian circles, and the report that he
had absconded created a sensation. He
had been identified with The Jednota,
published in this city, and his radical
statements in that journal have involved
him in much trouble. About month
ago he returned from Pittsburg, where
he had spent thirty days in Jail, having
been convicted of ibeliHg another priest.
This experience seemed to have won for
him many sympathizers, and upon his
return home he was given full control OF
affairs.
Recently, however, trouble with his
newspaper associates began to manifest
itself, and on Friday he left, presume bly,
for Wilkesbarre. His continued alb
sence aroused the suspicious of the
church trustees, and an investi CATION
was ordered. 1t was discovered that he
had drawn from the Hazleton National
bank 81, 800 belonging to the church, and
all moneys which were supposed to be
in the safe at the parochial residence.
No trace Of him could be found in
Wilkesbarre, and it is now believed that
he has sailed for Bremen. On the strength
of this the warrar ts were issued.

THREE BLOWN TO DEATH
Terrible Explosion of Powder at a
West Virginia Mine.
MANY RECEIVE SEVERE BURNS

Some of Them, 1t Is Feared, Cannot
Recoverable Accident Happened
as tho Men We're Returning from
Dinner.
STUEBENvILLE, o., Nov. ga fear.
full powder explosion occurred shortly
after noon yesterday at the Blanch coal
mine, located at the west end of Colliers,
w. Va. Twenty five kegs of powder ex-
ploded, causing the instant death of
three miners and the serious wounding
of eight others, three of whom will
probably die. The names of those who
were killed are as follows: John Piosky,
Michael Cohoker and Wesley Anderson,
colored.
William Anderson, colored, was just
entering the mine when the explosion
occurred, and was blown a distance Of
fifty feet over a trestle. He had leg
broken, his face and head badly bruised,
aud will die. Edward Cook, colored,
was horribly burned about head and
back, and will die. John Gillespie,
lately from Akron, o., was burned in
wardly, and it is thought he cannot re.
cover. John Anderson, colored, who
was on his way into the mine, was
blown out a distance of several feet
on the railroad trestle and his head badly
cut by being wedged under coal car
Lawrence Campbell colored, was burned
about arms, back and head. John Tag
ing, who was burned very severely about
burg hospital. Mathew Wright, burned
about head and back. George Teeters,
injured internally. John Ramsay, burned
about head and arms. John Hully, q
miner, is missing, but it is not known
whether he was about at the time of the
explosion or not.
Force of the Explosion.
The explosion occurred as the men
were returning from dinner, which was
providentiel, for had it occurred ten
minutes later the destruction of life
would in all probability have been some
thing awful. The force of the explosion
was awful, the ground being shaken as
though by an earthquake. The force of
the explosion is shown by the distance
some of the men were blown. Wesley
Anderson's body was thrown through
the air a distance of over hundred
yards.
1t is supposed that the explosion was
caused by piece of fuse, which became
lighted in some manner and conveyed
the fatal spark to the boxes in which
the powder cans were kept.
The scene at the mouth of the mine,
following the explosion, was one of great
excitement. The entire population gath
cred, and the women, supposing at first
that more of the men were in the mine
than really were, begged that rescuers
go into thom. 1t would have been death,
however, to have gone before the air had
cleared
That some of those who were in the
mine were not suffocated to death is due
to the presence of mind of James Clark
and James Borden, who got tho outside
door of the shaft, which had been blown
down from its hinges, and replaced it.
The mine belongs to II. G. Smith, of
New Cumberland, w. Va, and William
Smith and John McNutt, of Wellsville.
About fifty men are employed in the
mine, which has been in operation since
May, 1891.

Mr.. CieyeIand's vacation.

NEW YORK, Nov. 22.-It is generally
believed that the place selected by Presi-
dent-elect Cleveland at which to spend
the brief vacation which he has planned
to take is Newberne, n. c. The place is
an ideal winter home, situated in the
heart of the Blue Ridge mountains and
sufficiently inaccessible to daunt the
spirits of persistent Office seekers. Mr.,
Cievelands sole object in leaving New
York is to get much needed rest and
to avoid the legion of callers who adopt
every known expedient to get by his
butler. Mr. Cleveland will probably
leave for North Carolina either tomor-
row or Thursday
