desirable kind in the market,

sizes of glove and pebble kid.
OEO. D. CLELAND.

AMUSKMENTS,
Miss Emma Thursby, In concert, will ap
pear at the Opera House on Thursday, No
vember 8.
Leavitt's minstrels will make their ap
pearance here on Wednesday, November 7,
in an entire new and attractive program.
On Friday and Saturday next, W.lming
ton's favorite, Maggie Mitchell, supported
by a strong company, will make her appear
ance.
"The Silver King" the Philadelphia buc
ccss> is booked to appear at the Opera House
ou November 14, 15 and 16, with all the
ecenlc effects and ap[>ointment8 that made
it so succeesful in that clt> during its three
weeks run at the Chestnut 8treet Opera
House.
Rice's Surprise Party in "Pop" will
pear at the Opera House here on Thursday
evening next. The Philadelphia Pres* in
speaking of the troupe while at the Chestnut
street theatre of that city says "the sprightly
banoni has been compelled to repeat her
songs and dances at every performauce this
week." This would argue that the troupe
Is particularly attractive. Every perform
ance was greeted with large audiences a
fact that clearly eatablishes the fai t that the
play is good.
Notwithstanding the inclement weather
an audience numbering about 600 assembled
at the Opera House last uight to witness the
presentation of the ridiculous comedy,
"7-20-8. or Casting a Booraering," by Au
gustin Daly's Comedy Company. The p'ay
was particularly amusing and the players,
one and all, were so well drilled in their re
spective roles that the whole performance
was as satisfactory as could be desired
by tbe most fastidious audience.
To particularize would be hard in
the face of so many that were good, but tbe
character of Floss the much sought "7-20 8,"
by Hden Bijou Heron, was remarkably
tural. It Is to be hoped that the managers
of the Opera House will make an effort to
tiring to this cl y numerous c ih punies as
satisfactory as that of last evening.

In tbe annals of the stage In this country
has an actor played to an audience of
greater distinction. This cultivated and
critical house tendered the artist a hearty
greeting, and at once gave Mr. Irving the
assurance of the goodwill oi bis
audience. Curing the entire play
bushed attention alternated with enthu
siastic applause. It la known that Mr.
Irvlog had expressed himself as somewhat
anxious about his reception In Americs, and
a degree or nervousness was noticeable at
times, but It lu no wise detracted from his
splendid delineation of the character of
Mathias, In the weird play of "The Bells."

Sad Seena at a Station House,
[Baltimore Sun, to-day.]
Yesterday as the jail van stood before the
central police station, a middle-aged man
and a swee\ faced little girl stood at the
door. She had a bundle in her arms, and
tears gathered in her eyes and rolled down
her cheeks as she watched the prisoners
brought out to go to jail. One by one they
came, sullen, defiant, indifferent, or even jo
cose as they confronted the stares of the
crowd. At the end of the line came a well
dressed, decent-looking
child ruseed to her and sobbed In her arms,
while motherly tenderness flushed and agi
tated the mother's fsce. The officers stepped
jack, and the mother RDd her child
the centre of a sympathizing group, a little
apait from which the husband stood in
stern silence. The little girl unwrapped
the bundle she carried and took from It a
plain-looking shawl. With outstretched
arms she held it towards her
mother and sweetly said, "Mamma,
put it on." The mother took off
the coat she wore, handed it to her daughter
and drew the shawl about her. Bhe took
the child's- face between her hands and
kissed it. With that she turned away with
out a word and passed on to the van, which
she entered with steady step. The eyes of
the little girl followed her mother, and as
the door of the wagon closed with a grat
ing noise the child burst out anew luto
tears. She watched the van until it had
disappeared from sight, then she went down
on her little knees on the stone floor of
the station, carefully folded the coat given
her by her mother and wrapped it in paper.
Her father had previously strolled from the
station and the child quietly followed. The
mother was charged with maliciously de
stroying the property of another and behav

Paris, October 28.— Vfall advices from
Saigon show that the French forces, in their
encounters In the vicinity of Ha-Nol In the
early part of September, met Chinese regu
lars who were well armed and officered.
After a conflict of three days, during which
the French took some of the enemy's works,
they withdrew, leaving Hal Phong still In
the bands of the enemy. Some of the
troops of the King of A imam were with the
enemy.
A letter from Saigon to tbe franc* states
that unheard of cruelties were committed
near Hue on tbe occasion of Its capture by
the French sailors. Admiral Courbet di
rected, In an official order, that there should
be no quarter given to men, women or chii
dren. Three hundred Annualités who h&d
taken refuge in the mouth of the Bay of
Thuan were killed, all of them being shot.
One hundred and fifty more, who were drift
ing In a junk without arms or oars, were
also mass acted.
The Figaro declares that Admiral Cour
bet, at the instance of Commissioner Har
mand, allowed th«« perpetration of such acta
in order to terrorize the Annamites.
The Temp* denies that Ad "irai Courbet
gave such orders, but udralt9 that 1,203 cf
the enemy were slain at Thuan.
The Goulot i says that, In view of the con

London, Oct. 23.—Tho Chinese Legation
has furnished the newspapers with copies of
of the entire correspondence that passed be
tween the Marquis Tseng, the Chinese Am
bassador, and M. Chalieinel-Lacour, the
French Minister of Foreign Affairs, upon the
Tonquln question. The correspondence
adds little to that already published, except
that it offer arguments in favor of Chiua's
position. It denies that tho Marquis Tseng
ever assured M. Cballemel-Lacour that
China would not oppose France's enterprise
in Tonquln, and says that before July last,
M. Tricon, the then French Ambassador to
China, Informed Li Hung Chang that either

The Paris correspondent of the Standard

GHASTLY EVIDENCE.'
The Head of Anderson, tbe Murdered
Convict, Produced in Court.
Joliet, III., Oct. 29.—In the case of
Mooney, on trial for the butchery of Ander
son, a leilow-convict, the prosecution this
morning called as witnesses Drs. Heise and
Dougal. The defense having tried to throw
a cloud over the testimony that was given
by the medical experts, the remains of the
dead convict were exhumed on Friday night
the head cut from the body and tak^n to
the office of Dr. N. B Campbell, where it
was dissected on 8a* urday.
When court opened this morning a mys
terious looking box was placed upon a table
in iront of the Jury. It had been reported
by a witness for the defense that they were
going to prove that tbe wound described as
having peuetrated the ear, knocking out
several of the teeth, was an impossible one,
and could not be made. The box was
opened, and a decided sensation occurred in
the court room when the ghastly head of
the murdered convict was exposed to view.
The body had been buried five months,
but the face was well preserved, the skin
being drawn and wrinkled. One side of the
face had been dissected irom the ear ta the
lower jaw, showing the course of the knife
through the ear. The side of the Jaw was
broken and several teeth were missing. The
knife mnst have been struck with all a
man's strength to pierce the jaw bone, the
direction of tbe blow showing it to have
been utterly impossible for Anderson to have
done it himself.
This completely upsets the theory of sui
cide. The jury all had an opportunity of
inspecting the head before It was removed.
Mooney, the accused, sat within 10 feet of
this terrible death's head, but never allowed
his eyes to glai ce in that direction.
F. Oakes was the first witness called for the
defense. He attempted to demonstrate that
the wounds on Anderson's body could have
been self-inflicted.

Explosion of Mine ban In a Pennsylvania
Coal Company's Shaft.
Pittston, Oct. 29.—An explosion of mine
gas took place in the No. 7 shaft oi the Penn
sylvania Coal Company near here this even
ing, which resulted iu the killing of two
brothers and the fatal burning of four
'other men. The names of tho killed are
James Gallagher, burned to a crisp; Thus.
Gallagher, body mangled and terribly
burned. Hugh Devers, James Kelly. Pat
rick Joyce, and James Robinson were tbe
wounded.
Tho explosion took place about 5 o'clock,
at which time there were 22 men in the
mines. Two brothers, Thomas and James
Gallagher, had been working abreast to
gether all day and had Just stopped wörk
and entered an old abandoned chamber to
procure some props. They entered with
naked lights ami, a large quantity of ga»
having accumulated, a terrific explosion
followed.
I |Tbe two Gallaghers were terribly burned
and dashed against the sides of the chamber
with fearful force. Their death was instan
taneous. The other four men who were in
tbe gangway were burned in a horrible man
ner and probably not one will survive. The
noise of the explosion was heard half a mil»*
from the shaft and In a lew minutes the
head-house was surrounded by an excited
crowd.
It was known that 22 men were below,
and, as the result of the explosion was not
yet known, the wildest rumors were circu
lated. The wives, mothers and daughter»
of those in the pit added to the terror of the
scene by their wild cries and wailings. Be
fore long, howeve, tbe real extent of the In
juries was known. The unharmed miners
were hoisted to the surface, and, shortly
after, the dead aud wouuded were brought
up. Both She killed were married men and
had families.

rful Explosion In a Railroad-Tunnel
[PhUodeipWa Press Special.;
Connellsvill*, Oot. 20.—Twelve thous
and pounds of dynamite exploded yesterday
moraiug at Brooks Tunnel,-Somerset county
on the Baltimore & Ohio railroad. Five men
were blown to atoms, and the shock of tho
explosion was felt 25 miles from the tunnel.
The names of the killed follow:
H R. Burchfield, aged 2<i, unmarried,
lived at BeUaire, Ohio; W. A. Dean, aged
60, tunnel blacksmith, supposed to have
lived at Parker's Landing, in the oil
regions; Robert Hammond, aged 22, watch
man at the tunuel, lived at Cutnner'anl,
Md ; George Reynolds, aged 29, engineer of
construction train, married, but no < hlld
I, lived in Confluence, a few miles west of
tbe scene oi the accident; Charles lissull,
aged 25, married but no children, lived at
Confluence.
WHEN THE EXPLOSION TOOK PLACE.
The railroad company I as been strength
ening and wide ing the tunnel, wbien i- 85
miles east of Pittsburg, and some distance
Inside a magazine had been erected, in which
was stored 1,200 pounds of dynamite, to bo
used for blasting. The freight train, of
which Rey olds was cuglneer, had passed
through the tunnel, mid was side-tracked
for an hour to allow an cxpie6s tiain to go
by.
Reynolds and his companions walked
back tn tho tunnel to the vicin ty of the
magazine to get out of the rain, and wera
encaged in conversation with th t watchman,
when the people in the vicinity were s urtled
by a terrific concussion.
A SCENE OF DEVASTATION.
A mass of 6 tones and dust a tose toward
the clouds, trees were uprooted and rocks
weighing many tons were loosened from
their fastenings and thrown luto the river.
Houses for 15 miles arouud were shaken to
their foundation and windows for a distance
of Beven miles were shattered, while tele
graph poles for half a mile were prostrated
into fragments.
The stout oaken planks of the shanty
where tho dynamite was kept were reduced
to splinters not larger than lucifer matches,
and they were scattered for incredible dis
tances to all points of the compass. Ou the
site of the builoing nothing remained but a
huge rent in tbe earth 10 feet in depth and
of corresponding dimensions. The struc
ture was located at the mouth of the tunnel,
and on each side arose the high, rocky wall
of the cut.
MARKS OF THE DISASTER.
For a distance of 200 yards up the track
the rail6 and ballast were spotted with
shreds of human flesh and drops of blood.
The sides of the cut bore the same awful
marks, and high up above the tuui.el, oa a
stately chestnut tree, waved a piece of
bloody cloth, about the size of a handker
chief, torn from the garments of one cf the
victims.
The trees of the mountain side were
broken and twisted by tbe violence of the
explosion, and the tracks were litter«d with
debris.
Horror-stricken people 1 ushed from their
houses and search was made for the party
who had gone to the tunnel. For a time
nothing bearing a resemblance to any part
of tbe human body could be found, but
after awhile pieces of flesh and bones, with
fragments of cloth clinging to them, were
discovered.
FRAGMENTS OF THE DEAD.
The largest pieces were the foot and hend
of Reynolds, the engineer. These were iden
tified by a peculiar ring on the hand and by
the shoe on the foot. Afterward* portions
of bodies, Including legs, arms, hands and
heads, were picked up half a mile distant,
but so badly disfigured as to be unrecogniz
able. A great toe was discovered hanging
by a long tendon to tbe biishei two miles
from the mouth of- the tunnel. With the
exception of the headless and limbless trunk
of one of the men, ail of tbe remains would
not fill a two gallon measure.
Near Rockwood, almost eight miles dis
tant, a congregation had assembled for wor

in terror that the Day of Judgment had at
last come, whllo others leared an earth
quake.
The cause of the accident is unknown.
The dynamite was stored
tiu cans. A gun has been found
scene of the explosion. It is thought that tt
may have been discharged by
party and tbe concussion caused the dyna
mite to explode.
The most pepular theory, however, is that
o! the victims, heedless of the dangerous
character of its contents, h ndlcd oue of the
boxes containing the dynamite in a careless
manner, aud, -perhaps, dropped it on the
floor.
