MALONE is DEAD.
Picturesque Character in Politics Passes
Away.

Picturesque Character in Politics Passes
Away.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-General Ma
hone died at 10 o'clock. The end came
peacefully and almost imperceptibly.
The dying man had lain unconscious
ever since last Sunday morning, taking
no nourishment and showing no sign of
life beyond faint respiration. All the
members of the family were about the
bedside when the end came. +
General Malone was in his Goth year
He was II of the most picturesque fig
ures i'll Southern history, and has been
q central figure in Virginia politics for
the past quarter of a century.
He joined the confederate army at
once after the secession, participated i'll
the capture Of the Norfolk navy yard
in 1861, and raised and com
manded the Sixth regiment Of
Virginia. He was commissioned
a brigadier general in March, 1861, and
six months later became Il major gen
erl. At the close Of the war he re-
turned to his original work of engineer
ing, and became prefident of the Nor
folk and Tennessee railroad.
A spirit dictatorship led him into the
political arena, and he at once assumed
a foremost position in the internal af-
fairs of Virginia.

in with the avowed intention Of cutting
a negro named Nels Hanson into small
pieces. Hanson anticipated the attack
and proceeded to do his man, not, how
ever, until he had received an ugly cut
on the hand. The other case is William
Cowie, who nearly killed james Yandeil
at Thompson, several weeks ago.

It Will Never Be Known Who
Was Responsible for the
Explosion
Which Caused the Death O
Mine Boss and Engineers at
Wilkesbarre.
Six Thought to Be All That Are
Dead--Great Disaster Near
Moscow.

WILKEsBARRE, Pa, Oct. 9.-The
bodies of the three engineers and the
fire boss who were killed in the explo-
sion in the Dorrance mine have been
recovered. A party of rescuers headed
by Foreman Jones were the first to come
upon the bodies. The carpenter house
was fitted up as a temporary morgue
and as the mangled remains were
brought to the surface they were laid
out on it. The corpses were burned al
most beyond recognition. Fire Boss
ally roasted and Cahills body had a
large cash OH the forehead, evidently
from the force Of the explosion. The
men were killed by the force Of the ex-
plosion, and all died nearly in the same
spot. Up to 8 a. IN. no more bodies had
been found, and it is now believed the
list of dead will be not more than six.
The Cause in Doubt.
The question as to which one Of the
unfortunate party of engineers acct
dentally set the gas on fire will never be
known, us Of the four men who entered
the abandoned workings where the gas
was encountered, not one lives to tell
the tale. The general superstition is
that one Of the engineers became care
less in the presence of a newly discov-
cred body Of gas, and instead of adopt
ing the precaution of lowering his light
by stopping, he walked into the gas in
All erect position, thereby setting it on
fire and causing the explosion.
Another theory is that it was the fire
boss himself, who caused the accident.
He had charge of the party and the
engineers We're subject to his orders. If
he had discovered a new body Of gas, it
was his business to give the warning to
the engineers who followed him. The
mine officials are 10th to believe, how
ever, that Davis could have been taken
by surprise. He was a very careful
man, and would not have led the en-
gineers into a place which he thought
unsafe. 1t had always been his custom,
upon discovering gas in a mine, not to
allow anybody to approach until he had
first made everything safe.

ST.. PAUL, Oct. "a Dispatch special
from Sioux Falls says there is a big fight
on between the members of the local
state fair committee and the state board
Of agriculture, and one which is quite
apt to assume sensational proportions.
Notwithstanding that fair week was
characterized with perfect weather,
unprecedented crowds and exhibits, the
state fair board has failed to pay out by
about 5 1000, and it is claimed that this
failure is caused by the large appropria-
ton made by the managing board for
its own remuneration.

MORE NEW RECEIVERS.
Judge Knowles Names Two for the MOI

-.
Judge knowles Names Two for the Mon
tana District.
HELENA, Oct. 9.-Judge Knowles of
the United States circuit court has con-
firmed the appointment Of Andrew F.
Burleigh as receiver of the Northern
Pacific railroad and appointed two 9TH
ers as receivers for the Montana district.
They are Edwin L. Bonner Of Missoula
and Captain L H. Mills of Deer Lodge.
The former is a well known merchant
in this city, the latter being the COM
missioner of the bureau of labor, agri-
culture and industry of Montana in this
city.
ST.. PAUL, Oct. 9.-The complexity of
the Northern Pacific receivership tangle
has received an addition by the action
Of the Montana court which not only
extended the authority of Judge Han
ford's receiver, Andrew F. Burleigh, to
that state, but appointed two new indie
pendent receivers as well. The dis
patches brought news of the naming of
Captain Mills, an editor of Deer Lodge,
and E. L. Bonner of the Missoula Mer-
camille company, as the new receivers,
whose appointment leaves even the at
torneys for the receivers already named
completely in doubt as to how the
whole matter will end.
Mr.. Burleigh has thus far refrained
from expressing his opinion as to how
an understanding between the different
receivers might be reached which would
save the property from disruption. MI.
McHenry has said in answer to direct
questions that no policy had been de-
cided upon, it being understood that
such a decision
Could Hardly he Reached
pending the action Of the Montana
court. Now that Judge Knowles has
made his appointments, the matter, in
stead Of becoming slightly Strengthened
out, is much further involved, as there
are now four distinct sets Of receivers,
viz, the three original receivers,
Messrs. Payne, Cakes and Rouse, in
New York and Idaho; Messrs. Bigelow
and McHenry, in Minnesota and Wis
consin; Mr.. Burleigh, in Washington,
and now Mr.. Burleigh with the two
newly named gentlemen in Montana.
The situatioAis palpably more difficult Of
adjustment than at any time before, it
being intimated that but one more step,
namely, the establishment of separate
systems of accounting, stood between
the road and its ultimate breaking up.
