In Old Virginia,

t. Leslie Woodruff, of this city, who is
engaged in gold mining enterprise near
Allegheny Springs, Virginia, arrived in
this city on his way to New York
few days ago, to interest New York cap
italists in his mines with view of sellin @
out to them.
In an interview with a PIONEER man,
he said he thought that this time he had
struck it rich, not in gold however, but
in arsenic. II is the second mine for ar
senic ever found in American, The ar
senic is mixed with gold and silver in
paying quantities. The mine seems to be
inexhaustable.
The arsenic, he said. ran about 800
pounds to the ton and the gold paid 50
per ton, the silverS5. The mine is equip
ped with all modern machinery for work.

worked to its fullest capacity.
Mr. Woodruff reports that he is in ex-

very agreeable. He is situated numb ber

wilds of Virginia. He exhibited several
specimens of the ore with the arsenic.

Another great discovery has been made,
and that too, by a lady in this country.
"Disease fastened its clutches upon her
and for seven years she withstood its
severest tests, but her vital organs were
undermined and death seemed imminent.
For three months she coughed inces-
sanity, and could not sleep. She finally
discovered way to recovery by pur-
chasing of us bottle of DIR. Kings New
Discovery for Consumption, and was so
much relieved on taking first dose, that
she slept all night; and with two bottles
has been absolutely cured. Her name is
Mrs. Luther Lutz." Thus writes w. G.

THE ROUGH RIDERS.
Buffalo .Bilrs Wonderful Wild West Show

Tue sday.
Buffalo BilPs Wild West Show and
Congress of Rough Riders of the World,
one performance.
Owing to the damp weather the roads
were soft, and in consequence the man.
agement had a good deal of trouble in
getting The wagons to the ground. 1t was
deemed impossible to give the show last
night, and get the wagons back to the
train in time for the start
The show yesterday afternoon was re-
markable performance, and all the more
pleasing because it was genuine and
natural. To speak of the show it can be
said that it is conspicuous for magni-
tude requiring much larger arena and
the employment of more men and horses
than the performances of any other exbi-
bition demand, superior size is by no
means among its greatest or most attrac-
tive merits. That is merely an incidental
necessity, which it is possible to initiate
or rival. Its inimitable originality; his
toric, heroic, and romantic individuality,
and absolutely unique scope of living
presentations, are altogether far superior
and more valuable and interesting mat
ter. These latter, rare and exclusive
qualities, coupled with the sterling and
so often danger and battle-tested merit of
its renowned and immensely popular pro-
psietor and managerial chief, are what
have secured for it, on either side the sea,
fame and success as unparalleled as it
is well deserved.
The attendance nearly tested the seating
capacity and the big show merited all the

eral cases yet to dispose of and one or two
OF them are disagreeable. He thinks he
may be able to wind up this week.
The first case called was the state
against Mike and George Mcdonald and
Ephraim and Edward Brandrift of Mill
vile, charged with fighting on Sunday
10th, of February in Millville,
The first witness called for the state
was Thomas Mayhem, of MillviHe. He
is the owner OF the lumber yard and
planning mill. He said he was at his
place of business that Sunday morning
and saw the four defendants showed the
witness window which had been broke
the night before by the gang. but they
denied it. The gang then retired short
distance and had a fight. Their cursing
was loud. The gang also broke several
other windows in the witness establish
ment.
Lawyer Miller, Millville, defended the
Brandriffs. He did not cross-examine
the witness.
Joseph Dare, Millville called. He was
passing by the street at the time. He
described the fight among them and in
general coorrborated Mr.. Mayhew's
statements.
Bert Radcliffe, of Millville, called. He
said he was in the vicinity of the fray at
the time. He said George Mcdonald
broke the door of Brandriff7s saloon:
general fight occurred after entrance was
effected.
Robert Boyd, Millvile, called. His
testimony was the same as others.
Nike Mcdonald, the dfendant was
called and gave his version of the affair.
He told how he was coming down the
street and heard of the fight. He went
in to help his son.
Mike bears rather poor reputation in
this Court. He has been in States Prison
twice aud the county Jail several times.
George Mcdonald, defendant, called.
He told his tale of the scrap. He said he
saw no blows struck.
The State rested. Lawyer Miller put
up no defense but relied on the testimony
of the State, which was somewhat favor
able to the defense. Lawyer Miller
summed up the case in an able manner
and asked for the discharge of the pris.

WOMAN'S NARROW ESCAPE.

A Gasoline tre Nearly Canses SeIious
Damage.
Last Saturday evening Mrs. Harry
Dare, living on Mill street, turned on the
gasoline in her stove, and having occasion
to step out of doors for moment, left the
oil running.
The cup underneath the burner was soCn
filled, and ran over on the floor. Mrs.
Dare returning lighted the burner, and in
a moment there was blaze, the saturated
carpet taking fire. Mrs. Dare was con-
siderably burned about the face.
Mrs. Jesse Dare hurried in and assisted
in extinguishing the flames, but not be-
fore pretty much everything had been

CRUSHED TO DEATH.
Workmen at the Cohansey Glass Com

Tons of Failing Brick

Tons of Failing Brick.
Monday afternoon the walls which
are in use at the window light tank fur
mace of the Cohansey Glass Company's
Works, fell with crash, burying with it
two workmen, while several others had
narrow escape
The wall is Of brick and is used to walk
on, making it sort of walk of brick in
stead of boards. For some time past it
has been weakening, and yesterday while
1t was being strengthened and repaired
that the accident happened.
William Pew, aged about sixty-three
years, and his son Frank, aged about
forty years, were under it at work.
Alex Laing and several other persons
were near the scene when some one ex.
claimed ''The wall is falling p 1t came
so quick that the two Pews were unable
to get away and it fell with crash, bury
ing them beneath the debris. The others
escaped.
Fellow workmen with willing hands,
began to dig the men out. 1t was at first
thought that the senior Mr.. Pew was
dead but it was soon learned that he lived,
although terribly crushed Levick,s
coach was soon down there and conveyed
Frank Pew home. His father was not
able to be taken home in the coach and a
settee was procured, and he was carried
to his home on Pine street, near the rail-
road.
He was more dead than alive. His legs
and feet were crushed, both being broken
In several places. Besides this he was
cut on the face and head and burned all
over. He was also injured internally.
Frank Pew was terribly burned and
cut about the head and had an arm
broken. He was also injured internally,
but it is thought he will live.
DR. Davis was summoned and attended
the sufferers. The elder Pew died Monday
morning about seven O'Clock.

HARvEY's OPINION.
Organization and War Record Respon
 sible for Republican Victory.

Chicago, November TOE. P. "Coin'' Harvey, chairman of the democratic na- tional committee on ways and means, said today: "The result of the recent election in my opinion is due to two causes: First the republicans had a most perfect organi zation and all necessary money to make its force effective.
 "Second, the natural influence of sue cessful war conducted by the party in power, coupled with the fact that the war is not yet officially concluded. The prin- cipal reason, however, is the first named, the thorough organization by the forces ad- vocating the gold standard. We must arouse ourselves and organize in a prac- tical way or the conditions in Asia and Europe will be those of the American peo- ple Ours Is the greatest cause for which man has ever enlisted in the world and practical and thorough organization will give us a sweeping victory in 19O0."
