vlRGlNrA's RESPONSE.

In the great rush OF sentiment attendant
upon tho recent dedication OF the Grant
tomb some newspaper suggested that a
counterpart be erected In Riverside Park
and the remains Of George Washington
transferred thither. The proposition has
met with n very decided protest from Gov
ernor o'Forrall OF Virginia To tho paper
that made the suggestion he replied. in
answer to a request for his opinion of the
proposition, as follows:
Richmond. Va, April 20 lS97.-If there
is white man in all Virginia who would
favor a proposition to remove the remains
of Washington from Mount Vernon to any
other place. IT, would require the strongest
electric light 10 find him. for he would be
hiding IN some cavern 10 escape the wrath
of an angry people. Nireiniaus will never
consent that the bones OF Nirg.nia's most
illusirious son shall be taken from Vir-
ginias soil and from the spot he himself
selected as his last resting place. II such
thing were attempted SO intense would
be the feeling OF opposition that / believe
the people would be inclined to resist with
arms.
Virginia gave Washington 70 the cause
Of republican liberty, and 1t Is as little as
she can ask that she may be permitted 10

PITTSBURGH. Pa. Feb. 2.-The
Pennsylvania Lead Company went into

tiles $1,4OO,OOO.
The application for receiver was
mnde by George S. Grlscom, as trustee.
aud II. Z. Anderson, who set forth In
the bill that the defendant company Is
Indebted to GriscOm TO the amount of
$9GS,O00 and that Anderson held one
hundred shares Of its capital stock at
open value of $l0O.
The liabilities OF the concern are
placed In the bill at $l,4OO,0OO. In the
form OF commercial paper. OF this,
$3.50. 900 mature In February, 1897. A
large part OF this has been lndorsed by
President Schwartz. who was recently
stricken with paralysis. These obllga-
tionS and Endorsements are held IN
Salt Lake. Utah, Pittsburgh, New
York and London. over $4,000 worth
OF paper went to protest on February

The company 1t is stated. Is in Its
present condition unable to meet or

President Schwartz is also the sole

PEELED to buy lead, silver and gold ores
IN all parts OF the west and throughout
Mexico. These ores are smelted and
Utah and refined at Lead Works Sta
tion. on the Pan Handle railroad.
All these consignments Of ore must
be bought for so much spot cash, and
this nGcessItates at all times the sig
nature Of the president to the notes
with which the business OF the two
companies Is carried on. AS It was Inn
possible for the company TO 20 ahead
with its work with Mr.. Schwartz in his
present condition and with no head to
the concern. the courts ordered that
two receivers be appointed and trans
act the necessary business.
The court names MessTs. GriscOm

HoUGHToN. Mich, Feb. 9-Four
men are entombed in the burning
North Tamarack mine, which caught
flre to-day and small hopes are enter
tained for their escape. 1t Is thought
probable that all are already dead
from breathing the confined gases. The
missing men are:
Peter Limpea,
William LImpea. nged twenty.
William TomaczhosiN.
Antoine TomaczhoskI, aged sixteen.
Shortly after seven o'clock this morn
ing the announcement was made that
a fire had broken out in the North
Tamarack mine. situated about a mile
north OF the famous Calumet and Hec-
ka. An alarm was Immediately sent
to the one hundred men employed In
the shaft and all but four escaped.
How the fire originated is a mystery.
When II was found the four men were
missing n resculnE party descended In
the mine. but owing to the gases could
get no further down than the fourth
level The cage, however, was kept
running past the levels where the men
were supposed to be.but as they did not
appear, II is more than probable that
all are dead.
