VIRGINIA BONDS.
The Delay In Printing Them is Due TO the
London People.

cOpiCs
A cablegram was published yesterday TO
the effect that the bondhoders in London
are dissatisfied that they have not received
their new bonds Second Auditor Ryland
stated yesterday that the delay was certainly
not caused by the authorities of this State
The law refunding the old bonds was passed
on February 20, 1892, and the assurance was
then received from the committee that the
old bonds would be forwarded at once.
The State has been prepared TO receive them
for the last four months, but the first lot Of
them only reached here on June GOTH One
of the features Of the new bonds was TO be- a
clause 10 the effect that they were to be made
payable in London and this clause was 10 have
been printed on the bonds at the request of
the owners in London. Subsequently. how
ever, they ascertained that in that instance
the bonds would be taxable in England. and
they, therefore. telegraphed to delay the mat
ter. 1t was only last Saturday when they
sought the desired information as TO what was
to be printed on the bonds. and within
twenty-four hours Mr.. Ragland wrote to New
York 10 solicit bids for the printing of the
bonds.
When the Second Auditor visited New York
on May 7th the bonds had not all yet arrived
there, aud the New York committee was re-
CURED to recount them before they could be
turned over to the authorities OF Virginia.
This work took up two weeks.

that Frank and Lewis were both

of cake or piece Of pie with arsenic.
An elder brother of the bows
made no concealment of the fact to- dav
that it WAS a customary thing among

Belief that Over 200 Persons Perished by

BRUSSELS, March 12-There has been
little If any abatement in the excitement
in and about Charleroi, near which
place the appalling explosion occurred
yesterday morning in the Anderlues
celliery. All night long hundreds OF
men, women and children have kept
Glreary watch at the pit mouth, hoping
for the best, yet almost knowing their
hope was without reason.
The fire caused by the explosion Is
still burning in the lower gallery, where
the accident occurred. The shock OF
the explosion detached huge masses OF
rock and earth; the galleries are go
blocked with the debris that it is I'M
possible to approach nearer than loo
wards to the place where the great body
of miners were working Besides the
it, - -oe4., tho oorcaeses of forty
horses block the approach to the lower
gallery.
The bodies that have been racnvared
were covered with a thick black dust,
which In some instances had been
blown deep in the skin. After they were
taken to the office they were placed up
on straw that had been spread on the
floor, and the faces were then cleaned
as far as possible to allow of Identified
ton. Some, if not all, of the women
employed in the mine have met their
death by the explosion. Among the
bodies recovered is that of a 14-year-
old girl.
It has been ascertained that go per
sons were working in the mine at the
time of the explosion. Most of them
were at work in the two galleries where
the greatest damage was done. One OF
these galleries is $50 and the other 55(
yards below the surface.
Mining experts acquainted with the
Anderlues working say that all those
working in the lower gallery must be
dead. Altogether thirty three bodies
have been recovered.
