Railway Accident,

Phillippi, w. Va, Nov. 5.-One of
the greatest calamities in the history
of Barbour county occurred Saturday
morning ut l O'Clock at the mines of
the Southern Coal and Transportation
company at Berrysburg, six miles from
this place. AS result these are dead:
Ollie Marks, pit boss; Andrew Black
well, Albert Brown, Lawrence Dun
can, Pack Adams, and seven Others,
whose names are not obtainable. The
injured are: VIII Marks and James
Jackson, both of whom will die. The
explosion was so terrific that mules
Were killed at the mouth of the mines
and cars were blown forty feet from
the track. One man was blown in two
at the loins, and his body thrown
against a pile of lunroer at the mouth
of the mine.
Dead Are Terribly Mutilated.
The night shift went on duty at Z
p. m. Everything went on smoothly
until about midnight. when the explo-
sion occurred. The dead were mutilated
beyond description, and the scene was
calculated to make the strongest heart
faint. The explosion was the result
OF an accidental discharge of dyna-
mite, caused perhaps by the concus-
sion of blast. The property loss is
light. No blame can be attached to
the officials OF, the company. A cor
oner's inquest will be held today at
which time additional facts as to the
cause Of the explosion may be OBJ
: tanned.
First Accident in u New Field.
1t is the first accident in the coal
field that is being opened by the South
ern Coal and Transportation compa-
ny, and the mines have been running
but few months. The Brrysburg
mines are in the great Barbour field,
about six miles above here and the ex.
plOsion was heard distinctly at this
place. Buildings were Jared, and
many thought it was an earthquake.
The ground was torn up for hundreds
or feet at the mine. The leg of man
was found a quarter of mile from
the mine. Here was human heart,
here the arm or head or other part of
what had been a human being. No
one knew just what had happened for
few minutes.

Pontiac, Ills, Nov. 2.-The west
wing of the main building of the Hi

burned. A heavy rain came up while

in the chair factory.
The /, 400 inmates of the reformatory
were on the parade grounds forming
for dress parade when the alarm Of
fire was given, but were at once sent
to their cells. About 100 inmates, ac-
companied by officers, were allowed to
fight the flames from the inside of the
building, and these sought the most
perilous positions. Soon dozen
streams Of water were at play, and,
with the rain, the fire was got under
control. The superintendent resi-
dence, although not damaged by fire,

FlNilERTY'S JOKE,
An Irish Wag Fooled the London Report.
ers With a Bogus Speech.

''-''s ." 1>oe eo SPeSS'''
One of the brightest and best of the
Parliamentary reporters of London,
years ago, was Peter Finnerty, of the
Chronicle, who loved to play practical
Jokes as well as he loved to eat.
One day in the reporters gallery
when the proceedings were unusually
dull, Morgan O'Sullivan, one of his
asso ciates, felt SO drowsy he could
hardly keep his eyes open. So he got
Finnerty to promise to give him any
speeches that might be made, and
then fell asleep in his chair. He
awakened in about an hour greatly re.
freshed and eager for work Finnerty
gravely informed him that during his
nap there had been an important
speech delivered by Mr.. Wilberforce,
member of the House, on the virtues
of the Irish potato. Morgan never
pausing to think that the subject
had a suggestion of the ludicrous,
would not be pacified until the speech
had been dictated to him by Finnerty.
The speech, entirely Finnerty's con-
coction, made Mr.. Wilberforce say:
Had it been my lot to be born and
raised in Ireland, where my food would
have principally consisted of the pota-
to-the most nutritious and salubrious
root--instead of being the poor, in
firm, stunted creature you, Sir, and
honorable gentlemen, now behold me,
should have been tall, stout, athletic
man and able to carry an enormous
weight. I hold that root to be invalu-
able; and the man who first cultivated
it in Ireland I regard as q benefactor
of the first magnitude to his country"
Morgan was SO overjoyed at this
legislative tribute to the excellence of
his national potato that he willingly
dictated the speech to several other re-
porters and every paper of note in
England, Ireland and Scotland-ex-
cept the London Morning Chronicle,
in the Office of which Finnerty sat
chuckling, had the extraordinary re-
port of Mr.. Wilberforce's strange
speech in the House on the extraor-
dinary virtues of the Irish potato.
The speech was read with amaze
ment. At the clubs and in the city
everybody was laughing at Mr.. Will
berforce's speech-except Mr.. Wilber-
force. He thought it rather a cause
for rage than merriment, especially as
his friends gazed pityingly at him,
thinking he had gone demented.
But his anger cooled, and in the
House that night he read the speech
amid roars of laughter. If he were
capable of uttering such nonsense. he
said, as had been put in his mouth it
would be high time he was placed in
lunatic asylum. For himself he
cared little about it, but it was for the
dignity of the House he felt con-
cerned.
Finnerty, on this occasion, had not
to pay the penalty for his exquisite
gift of humor; but later, for libel on
Lord Castlereagh, Secretary for For
eign Affairs, he was imprisoned for
eighteen months,
