Why Not Unload Hannal
[Frorn the New York World ]

[From the New York World.l
 It is evident that the anti-Hanua Re- publicans in Ohio can defeat the big poodle boss for election to the Senate if they have the nerve to undertake it.
 The Republican majority in the Leg islature is very small at best There are enough members who stand with ForaRer, Bushnell and Kurtz to render Hanua's election impossible. All they have to do is simply to refuse to be bound by caucus and to stand to- gether for another candidate.
 Why should they help elect Hanna :? What has he ever done for them? Has he not deserted, knifed or overridden them, according to his interest or his mood? Is he fit for Senator? Will one of these men venture to say that Hanna, the rough-riding, slave-driving ironmonger, who was never heard of in national politics until last year, is q worthy successor in the Senate of John Sherman, Salmon P. Chase and Ben Wade?
 What has fe done for the party ir Ohio? Under his personal canvass fol election to the Senate the Republican majority of 87 in the Legislature hal almost disappeared The plurality o 92, GOO in the Inst election for Governor in 1895, has melted away to less thai one-third that figure, while the legis lative plurality on the popular vote only 5000. He weakens his party a home and diseredits it in the nation.
 Is it not time to unload Hanna?

A Hish-Toned Forser.
From the Phosnix Herald.l

Saturday evening last Mir. Wallace Duncan, grand son of General Lew Wallace and who is most highly con nected in the east, passed 6 check for fifty dollars on Mir. Scott, and shortly after he passed another on Dr. Butts for twenty dollars, receiving the money in exchange for checks for the amount. bearing the signature of Dr. Purman. The young man then went to his room on East Monroe street and exchanged his clothes for some old clothes in the room and going into another room oc- cupied by another gentleman he took a revolver from the bureau and left the house. Shortly after he appeared at the Fuqua livery stable and hiring saddle horse left the city.
 It soon developed that the checks were forgeries. Mir. Scott was paid the money in order to keep the young man from arrest, but after the officers had spent the night hunting for the missing man Mr. Fuqua swore to 8 warrant charging him with stealing the horse and the officers redoubled their efforts to find him..
 Last night he returned and rode the horse to the livery stable, leaving there without giving any explanation as to I,e 1ov,fr a ltaa.oa Tho ,.e3..-- sl.-- found him and placed him under ar rest.
 It is understood from his friends that he has been in an insane asylum in the cast and is not at all times account able for his actions and they refuse to prosecute him. The officers have placed the matter before the grand jury and should they fail to indict him a charge of insanity may be lodged against him.

Home Rule in Arizona.
[From the Denver Republiean.l

From the Denver Republican,
 An effort will be made during the approaching session of Congress to induce that body to enact what may be called home rule law for Arizona. Under the proposed law the people of that territory, without having any other representation in Congress than they now possess, would be permitted to elect their governor and other terri torial officers.
 A bill for law of this kind was in- troduced in behalf of Utah just before that state was admitted. and it proba- bly, would have been passed if thee ena- bling act had not taken it's place. The people of Arizona feel that while state hood may be far in the future for them, they should be permitted to govern themselves in the way proposed at that time for Utah, and which would give them many of the advantages Of state

hood. yet without representation in Congress other than that which they now have through their delegate.
 There seems to be no ground what ever to object to such law except on the part of politicians who may think they would have better chance of ap- pointment by the president than of election by the people. Eastern peo- pie surely can not object It does away with their chief ground of oppo- sition to the admission of new states in the Far West, which is that admis- sion would increase the strength of the West, and particularly of the free coinage element, in Congress. There would be no senators and no represent atives. The territory would have no vote in Congress. It could not inter fere in matters of national legislation any more than it can now, and at pres ent it's delegate has no vote.
 It would be nothing more than sim pie justice to give the people of Ari- zona a right to elect their own officers. There is no reason why so intelligent a community should be ruled by men appointed by a power situated 2,000 miles away from their own seat of government. Congress should fall in with the idea of giving the people this much home rule, and eastern opponents of statehood for Arizona should accept it as 8 means of hushing in a measure the demand for state government

 The jury remained out over 20 hours and it seemed as though the expecta- tion of disagreement would be veri- fed, but at o'clock last evening the jury came into conrt with verdict of manslaughter, ard recommended the prisoner to the mercy of the court. The penalty for manslaughter is from one to ten years imprisonment. Sen tenee has not yet been passed. We understand that the jury on the first ballot stood nine for manslaughter and three for acquittal, subsequently, changed to eight for conviction and four for aequittal, ana continued with ont further change until the last vote sas taken. 1t is depiora ble case and ruoch sympathy is expressed for tAe family of the defendant

E.a Glory Has Departed.

In inc days of it's prosperity Bath, Nc, mad almost five miles of busy ship yards. The town had never done any thing else for a living than to build and sail ships, but it prospered in that. Thirty or more years ago it's harbor was always filed with shipping, and it's streets were busy with trade. But there has been a steady decline since the end Of the war, and a vivid ezemplifiea- tion of the decay in American shipping At present not one wooden vessel is being built in the town, and there is not a vessel intended for the merchant
 marine or the way. Old ship owners are selling their vessel property as fast as they are able to do so, and putting their money into ether things that pay better interest, and unless some change is quickly made in the economic con ditions Of the country affecting ship ping, it is evident that Bath and great many other towns of the same character will be compelled to go out of the busi- ness of building ships.-N.

 The case against B. F. Crawford, charged with the murder of Dominiek Banche, on the 2Srd of July last, came on for trial last Saturday morning. The regular jury panel was soon ex- hausted in the effort to secure a jury, and it was found necessary to issue a special venire for 90 jurymen return able Monday morning. A jury was secured on Monday and the trial began the same evening with the taking of testimony for the prosecution. The evidence was all in by Tuesday after noon, when the arguments began, and continued until 10:30 p. n.
 The prosecution was represented by E. J. Edwards, district attorney, Wiley Jones and c. T. Clark. The attorneys for the defense were J. E. Wilson, of Phoenix, Geo. J. Stoneman and P. M. Thurmond. The case was ably con ducted on both sides, every point being contested. Mir. Wilson, who made the closing argument for the defense, spoke for an hour and three-quarters and his eloquent appeal elicited applause iron a part of the audience, which demon tration provoked a reprimand from the court. MT. Edwards concluding argument was both logical aud force ful,

THE DEADLY
BLACK DAMP
II Results in the Death of Five Men
Near Rendham, Pa.
WERE FIGHTING A MINE FIRE
When Stricken by Death the Men We're
Endeavoring to Make Their way to
the Mine shaft-The Fire
Started by Ignorant
Hungarians.

Scranton, Pa, Sept 29-Flve men
yesterday afternoon met a horrible
death from "black damp" after the ac-
emulation Of fire in the Jermyn No.
mine, near Rendham. The dead are:
Isaac Watkins, fire boss, 55 years Old
leaves a wife and one child, Rendham;
William Tompkins, % years old, single,
bearded with Watkins; Joseph Smith,
S5 years, wife and one child, Mud
town; John Gallagher, AZ years, wife
and seven children, Minooka; William
Franklin, 20 years, wife, Rendham.
Since last Tuesday the fire had been
raging in the mine. The men who lost
their lives represented one shift"
They went on duty at o'clock and
nobody knew Of their death until the
discovery of the lifeless bodies. Not
a man in the party survived to tell the
story. In the case of each body the
head pointed toward the shaft, indi-
eating that they had CROPPED and strug
gled toward the shaft for fresher air
while suffocation was overtaking them.
When the catastrophe was discovered
word was passed to the surface, and
the excitement was intense. Gangs of
Allth were lOWtIGu Ou the mine car
riage, and at $3.50 last evening all the
bodies excepting that of the fire boss
had been brought one by one to the
surface. The scene at the head of the
shaft was tragical for a time, while
wives, mothers and children in frenzy
fought for a sight of the bodies in the
possibility Of learning that more than
the actual number had lost their lives
The colliery employed about 300 men,
The mine consists of three veins. On
Tuesday Of last week a gang of ig-
norant Hungarian miners set off 4
body of gas in the "Digwoods" counter
Nobody was injured by the explosion
The burst Of flame ignited the coal in
the counter, and an attempt to extin-
guish the flames was begun. The pres
ence of the deadly black damp was not
suspected, and no fear of a widespread
blaze until Monday. The spread of the
flames was then found to be beyond
the efforts to subdue them by ordinary
process, and the order was given to
close the mine. A systematic fire
fight" was started, and three eight
hour shifts were set at work The IA
tai mission of the shift which entered
the mine at o'clock yesterday after
noon was not known until the supply
party found the first body.
