The near approach Of the time for rho
election of officers of the League of Amor
lean Wheelmen recalls the days when the
league had a large but undesirable men,
bership. Only about two years ago there
were nearly 1000 names on the rolls while
today there are less than 100 The largo
membership was the result Of an effort on
the part of the wheelmen to capture Some
OF the valuable prizes offered for new mem
bers In this irdiscriminate scramble for
prizes persons were admitted to member
ship irrespective Of the required ouaIifica
tons. 1t was not necessary at that time
for an applicant to even own or know how
to ride wheel His initiation fee. 81 was
sufficient and some of the wheelmen any
ious to get the prizes paid some of the fees
out OF their own pockets.
After the annual fne4 interest in league
affoirs decreased.fi aud now there are
only ninety-two names on the rolls. SO 1t is
said. This is evidehtlySn mot a league city

Thrown Over a Bridge.

A mysterious murder ola prom
inent physician occurred at Mont
gomery, Fayette county, w. Va,
DR.. A. G. Aultz was called from
his bed to attend what was alleged
to be an urgent case on the opposite
side of Morris Creek. At O'Clock
the doctor had not returned and
his family began search for him.
About 9 o'clock a man passing
over the Morris Greek bridge saw
the dead body of the doctor lying
on the jagged rocks, 90 feet below.
An examination showed there had
been a terrible struggle on the
bridge and that the doctor had
been struck on the head several
times with a blunt instrument.
The fall to the rocks below broke
almost every bone in his body.
The only theory for the crime is
that friends of persons implicated
IN the late coal riot put the doctor
out of the way to keep him from
] testifying Against them. Two
months ago DR.. J. w. Davis, OF
the same place, was murdered
from ambush for the same reason.

Death in a Coal Mine.

Wellsburg, w. Va, Nov. 90
An appalling explosion and nina
disas er occurred shortly after noon
today at the Banch coal mines,
near Golfers, Brooke county
twelve miles northeast of this
place, and as a result gloom hangs
over many homes in that settle
ment tonight. Tue explosion was
caused by an Italian, a new hand,
firing prematurely an unusually
heavy blast in No. s entry. TIE
fire lamp and coal dust was there
by ignited, and the resulting ex'
plosion was heard for miles, the
blast sweeping through the rooms
and entries like a whlrlwinG OF
death. FOrty.eight men had been
at work all the morning, but thirty
eight had fortunately gone to din
ner when the disaster occurred,
else the death lis. would have been
half "a dozen times what 1T is. AT
least seven persons were killed.

Earthquake Damages.

Rome, Nov. 2O-The earthquake
shocks continue at Milazzo, on the
north coast of the Island OF Sicily,
and the tact that the volcano OF
Stronboll is nearly in a state OF
eruption is a proof that the dis
turbances are of volcanic origin.
The inhabitants of Milazzo are
living in huts hastily erected IN
the fields. Elsewhere the feeling
of alarm Is subsiding and business
is resuming its normal course.
Dispatches received from the
province of Reggie de Calaorla
aggregate the number of deaths
and the amount of damage done.
Two hundred corpses have been
extracted from the ruins of houses
at San Procoplo, of which number
IS bodies were found beneath the
ruins of the church. The number
OF persons injured IS said to be
enormous.
It IS established that the damage
done to the buildings at Palml,
not counting the loss incurred IN
furniture destroyed, will amount
to 100000 lire. Fifteen build
ings collapse entirely AID GU
others are irreparaOly damaged.
Every house in the town has sui
fered more or lees and not one
remaius habitable, Three hun
dred persons were injured.
Eight persons persisted at
Seminara and 200 people were in-
iured. The villages Of Blrapierl
and Santa we're destroyed.

EARTHQUAKES DISASTERS.

Kome, Nov. 1S.-Details OF the
g earthquake disaster in Sicily and
Southern Italy on Friday have
been slow in coming to hand owing
to the damage to railroad and
telegraph lines. but the damage to
life and property was much greater
than at 6rst supposed, and 1t is
now known that nearly a hundred
persons were killed in the disaster.
The province of RegslO DaiCallora
suffered the seyerest damage oy
the seismic disturbances. Little
damage was done IN Reggi', the
capital of the province, but there
was great loss OF life and much
damage to property elsewhere IN
the province. Seventeen CON-
munes were involved in the distur'
baucp, the centres of which were
in the vicinity of Palmi, twenty
one miles northwest of Reggie,
snd Bagnara, on the Gulf Of Gloia
almost directly opposite Pdnta del
Faro, Sicily. The village OF SIN
Procoplo, near PaImi, was almost
entirely destroyed. Here sixty
persons were killed. FOrty-seVen
of these met their death in a church
to which they had fed for refuge
Their bodies are still in the rims.
At Uagnara ten persons were
killed. Eight lost their lives at
Mamertiuo and San E Ifemia, being
crushed to death, while many
others were injured. The inhabi-
tants of these places are obliged
to camp in the open air. Prime
Minister Cuspi has sent large
sum of money for the relief of the
sufferers and has placed two YES
sells at the disposal o! the protect
of Bagnara. In the Callahan
towns of Triparni and Mlleto
many houses we're destroyed and a
number of persons injured.

Massacre of Armenians.

LONDON, Nov. ia dispatch to
the Times from Vienna says that
a letter has been received there
from Smyrna reporting that Zeki
Pasha, a Turkish marshal, with a
detachment OF Nizams and a field
battery, massacred 1000 Armen'
ians at Sassun. The bodies OF the
dead we're left unburied and their
presence has caused an outbreak
of cholera. Many Christians are
report, Il to have fed by secret
paths across the Russian frontier.
So far there has been no official
confirmation OF this news, but If it
is true it is time the powers share
in tue responsibility by their
failure to enforce article 81 of the
Berlin treaty, which imposes on
them the duty of seeing that the
Porte takes measures to protect
Armenians. The latter declare
that they hope for nothing t om
Europe but that they still have
confidence in Great Britain. Num-
erous appeals have been made by
the Armenians to the British for
eign office. The last appeal re-
celved says the Aruenians do not
wish to see more OF their territory
annexed to Russia, but if Great
Britain is unable to help them
they will be compelled to look to
Russia under whose yoke they
would be better off than under the
yoke OF Turkey.

FRIDAY. NOV. 81. 1894.

A number of contests for the
STATS of Democrats reported to be
cleo ed to Congress will be made
before the Eext Congress by Re
publIcans who were reported 10
he defeated. Ia Virginia, 1t is SAID
that there will be nine contests as
there were nine D IN )crats an lone
Republican elected, hy the Official
vote.
In some districts, if Ge can rely
upon the afidavits published III
the newspapers, there were gross
frauds. If such be the case there
should be a full Investigation, ana
If the frauds were sufficient to
change the result of the election
the candidate nov holding the
certificate sholld not be permitted
TO occupy the seat rightly belong
ing to another.
la the Seventh district, the case
is very different. So far as we
could learn By observation and the
observation of others, there meyer
WAS a fAirer election IN the dis
trict. There were a number OF
votes thrown out. This was be-
ca1se the voter had voted for more
than one candidate, and the judges
of election were not authorized to
determine for whom the voter
intended to cast his vote. Bat
the votes thrown out did not ell ct
one candidate exclusively. Ia
some precincts it effected one and
in other precincts, another.
We do not believe that there
are any grounds for contest in this
district. The contest IS based upon
the idea that the Republicans nav
ing a large majority in the House,
will unseat Democrat In favor OF
a Republican. The Republican
marty cannot afford to pursue a
policy of this kind. If Demo
crat is fairly elected, they can not
without injury to themselves give
his seat to a party who was not
elected.
Some IN ay entertain the opinion
that the Republicans can afford to
act for Republicans. They can
not do 1t. The large maJOrlt'es
which they had IN the last election
were not given by members OF the
Republican party. That majority
was made up, in great part, OF H.
dependent voters and dissatisfied
democrats largely augmented by
staS-at.hOme deu ocrats, VINO
would not endorse the action OF
last Congress. Let these classes
become satisfied that the k9puO
llcan Congress will not act fairly
and there will be revulslon OF
sentiment as we'll as a reversal OF
maiorities. The expenses OF
contest amounts to about So,OVo
and is paid by the government
Can the r publican party auoru
to encourage contests made for the
sake of spending the money or
upon the presumption that the
Republican party will award tue
seat to a defeated party, simply
because he Is a Republican, Ihey
can not afford it and the proOaoil'
Nv is that they will not dot.
