ESTABLISHED AUGUST 24, 1852. WHEELING, W. YA., WEDNESDAY, JUNE 18, 1890. VOLUME XXXY1II?NUMBER 25a DIM'S DIMS, Tho Imprisonod Minors are Without Any Hope. THE SMOKE IS BELCHING From tho Mouth ol* tho MluoH?Ef* I'ortH to Btay tho FlaincM FruitIcsM'-Thcro is no Hopo or Recovering tho Boil t cu. Dusbau, Pa., Jutio 17.?All night long tho rescuing parties roinained at tho mouth of tho manhole at Farm Hill mJnp, hut their cJforlit wero lruh)eaa, and when daylight broko upon thorn thoy wero no nearer tho untortunato men entombed in tho burning mine. At 5 o'clock last evening all hopo of returning tho imprisoned minora was abandoned. Kfforts woro made to enter tho burning slopo through the Mahoney and tho Ferguson minea. It was found impossible to get noar the men through the former, owing to tho formation of the slope, anil in tho Ferguson pit tho air was bo bad that it was impossible to travel any distance. Under these conditions the mnst saturnine of the workers yielded, aud it was then determined to cutoir all fretli air and lot the mine burn iiUflf out, that the bodies of tho mon might bo recovered. At the lirst drift a solid wall of brick, well plastered, was built across the openimr. Material was wheeled down the entrance to where the men were at work, and an air fan was net at work 1 supplying fresh air to the reacuerj. As n worker, the Associated i'ress cor- j respondent was enabled to reach tho , point where tho men wero working. , Tracts of tiro damp still remained in tho air. Men wero working like beavers to I finish tho wall. The only light was ob- i tained frofn "Davy lamps." There was i 110 wasting of breath in idle talk. All I the strergth of the men was needed iu < building tho barrier. Through the in- ? torsi ices of the wall, far off to the left, I could bo seen a heavy cloud of smoke, occasionally pierced by llamee. Back of i this wall of tire lay the bodies of the workers' relatives and companions. FI01IT FOR THE DEAD. j At 10 o'clock thia morning there was : Ii?tlo n nrrn In' tuu UJIUV) CALCpi that the llro was fiercer, the smoke blacker and the dispair of tho survivors deeper than ever before. The finht for the dead mis kept up by the Jiving all night, but, the early gray of morning only found tho rescuing party driven farther back from the death chambers * and they could not penetrate within 100 feet of the place they reached last night. 1 Early this morning Martin Markey, pit bops of the Anchor mines, made a ; daring attempt, to reach the rijrht drivings of tho Hill Farm mines from the 6 Mahoney entrance, one and one-half i jnileB away across the hills. Ho crawled j over drifts and fallen slate to within 100 ( yards of the fallen chambers, and j sounded again and again, but listened < for a response in vain. The men were ) either "smothered or frightened at the | fire that was now steadily encroaching \ on their narrow territory.tond Markey, ] cutiyid bruised, abandoned the hope- , less qufst of seeking an answer from 100 yards of eolid, dumb slate. 1'ITIAIILB SIGHTS. The sight about tho pit's mouth is all ! the more pitiable, because of the twentyfour hours of anguish that had rolled over the heads of the relatives and friends,of the erntomhed miners, und hundreds stand steadily at tho mouth, gnzing wretchedly at the block columns , of smoke that .seem (o grow thicker ; every hour, indicating that tho coal was now burning instead of timber and .roofing. Cries for volunteers to relieve the workers wero constant, and responses 1 came before the sentence had been fin- 1 ished, for there were no idlers. They , are telllngsad stories about tho mine to* , day and they aro touching in the extreme. 1 Later reports say the mine is in (he , entire charge of Mine Inspector Kreiuh- ' ley, and he is making strenuous efforts io enter from the Mahoney drifts. Thorn fweniH to ha iminv vinwa ah to tho cause of the fire ami the proper place, if any, for tho placing of blame. Coroner Holbrook, who arrived here this morning, has appointed three / mineis and three citizens on a jury. JIo placed tho miners there because they wanted to show if the remedy Qould be applied. The mine is so located tlmt flooding the fire is impossible and smothering it means certain death to the men below, providing 'any are Jiving. Nearly all the mines in this region aro closed down, and men, money and provisions aro pouring in every train. A reselling party has just appeared at the mouth of tho Ferguson mine and report tho chambers of that drift rapidly filling with smoke. This delays, if it does not entirely cutoff all hopes of reaching the imprisoned men from that side. . ? all 1101'k lost. At 2 o'clock this afternoon the Hill Farm pit showed but a faint wreath of smoke, as if the fi.ro within ivas burning feebly. From that time, however, the smoke grew gradually thicker and heavier, , until now (9 p. m.) it is belching forth Irke a forrent,t ten-times blacker than 'yesterday. Tho reason given for this is that work had been commenced in Mahoning tho mines, and 70 feet had already been torn uowu by the volunteer njuads, which gave more and more ventilation. to the hill mines, as this place is honeycombedwith drifts and headings. This drift !eads again to the hopo that the men imprisoned have reached the extreme limit of the chambers, lowara me Mahoning mine, and are patiently waiting there for life or-deatfi. There is 'no effortbeing niaclo at the Hill Farm mine to offer relief, aa the tieat and smoke from the pit mouth is now unbearable, and it is expected to break into a /lu/neat any moment when the shops and small buildings surrounding will go at one*). All e/Io^ts at rcscue are now being made at the Mahopiup mine alone, as the Ferguson b bo full of jiuoko that work is impossible. i The 1'lre Dump, ! r i m -o.. il,n | PjTTSBD.ROII, PA., J UB?

It is more than likely that this charge in the cases leferred to was applicable only to tho coses then before tho court, und theso are. no doubt, cases where tho merchants had been exceeding their authority. Of course if a merchant sells as a beverage any kind of a tincture, extract or compound containing sufficient alcohol to make it intoxicatiug, then he would lie liable to pay a spccial tax as a retail liquor dealer. The itrue test is, is tho compound intoxicating?. That iB, docs it contain distilled spirits, wino or malt liquor to such an extent as to make it intoxicating, and isitsold ns a beverage? It is believed that if merchants will carefully observe the abovU circular they vlll not violate the law. Sundry Appropriation Will PanneH.

Fitzgerald had very j, little speed yesterday and Dayton by p bunching their hits, and smiting the a ball hard at lucky points in the game f, piled up enough runs in the early part j of the contefat to dishenrten the most eu- ? thuaiustic crank. The fielding of the home team waS not up to the mark. ^ Cuppy was effective at critical points of the game, and the old reliable batters j could do nothing with him when base hits were in demand. Mr. Hill's um- 0 piring was beyond criticism except in tj culling balls and strikes, in which j, Wheeling got the worst of it. e This afternoon two games will bo t] played for one adinieBion, one being g a postponed game.

Campbell, OF THE BOARD OF VISITOR: Aii IntiliUitfoii Of Which the CounU has UoaHon to bo Prouil?>Somcthlnj; of itM "Work ami Melhoiltt*?Tho CiulctH. A roportor of tho IsTULUOENCfn lir an fntercatiuj,' Interview with Mr. A. V Campbell in regard to hi9 recent visit t tho United States .Naval Academy i Aiinapolie, Md., as a member of th Bovd of Visitors. IIo began by ?u it quiry of Mr. Campbell as to tho objec in view on tho part of tho governuiuii io making their appointment, and as t what was really accomplished by aaii visits. Mr. Campbell stated that undo an act of Congress, passed many year ago, a Committee of Visitors coneistini of three members of tho Uonso and twi members of tho Sennto and of frou three to fivocitizans r?nrHsnnttru? ?lHr??r cut sections of the country, was annual ly appointed to go to the Naval Acad liiny, and a like committee to go to the Army School at WeBt Point, to witness Lho closing examinations nt each Echoo ind report to the government as to tlu seeming condition of all matters enter nginto or in any wise alTectiug the wel jeiug and ellieiency of the instructions, liecipline, health, etc., of the schools. The object was to get disinterested md ueceesary ^information from intelli;ent observers in order that the governuent might be assured that the pur>osea and objects of these schools were teing carried out in irood faith, lu fact, ho government could not get perfectly [^interested information from any other ource, as no other persons but governaent ariuy and naval ofiicers had any inowledge of what was going on at these chools. There might bo many things, s, indeed, there hud been, that needed he disinterested investigation of inteilient citizens. The annually appointed isitors were the medium through which omplainta were made and changes ecommended, and inasmuch aa they fere made up of a data of citizens who ad no object to promote except the ood of the service, their recommend** ion always had weight with Congress nd with the War and Navy Departlents of the government. "Who designates these visitors?" inuired the reporter. "The President appoints the citizens, je Speaker of the House the three lembers from that body, the President f the Senate the two members from that ody, and tiie Secretary of the Navy descales an ollicer to represent that deartmeut. Generally members of the aval Committees of the two houses are esignated for this duty, and generally )me oilicer high in tne service is apDinted aa the representative of the avy Department. It was so this year, ear Admiral Ivimberly, the hero of imoa, and the executive ollicer of Farigut and his right arm at New Orleans id xMobile, was the representative of le Navy, and as a deserved compliant to hia eminent worth ho was nanimously choaen President of the oard." "What sort of a place is the Naval cademy, as respects its physical feaires?" "The Academy grounds at Annapolis jclose fifty acres and include a point of ind something like the'Buttery' at New ork, bounded by the Severn river aud a arm of the Chesapeake bay. It is en;osed by a solid, high brick wall, which jmpletdy cuts otl the grounds from the nail, decayed city ouUiide. The grounds ro very beautiful, nicely shaded with ees, covered with grawand divided up y handsome walks. The houses of the rofessors and the buildings belonging ) the different departments of the school re numerous ana handsome, aud make p an ideal sort of a community, soinering after the liellamy picture in jooking Backward.' The largest buildlg is that occupied by the cadets, where ley live two in a room, and where very thing is a marvel of cleanliness aud ood police regulation. The nfmory is 16 next largest building, where they rill in winter and on wet days. Their arade ground, down at tho sea-walled attery, is an exquisite lawn, far exceedig In beauty the parade ground at West oint. There they drill by compauies ud as a whole corps, not only as inintry, but as artillery alao. Spectators uriog commencement week; sit in a aily-decorated marquee at tho head of jb lawn and witness these drills of the oysin blue." "What were the exercises on the water uringcommencement week?" "They were the usual exercises that btuin throughsut the course?drill in lie manual of oars in row boats, as a lrgo squadron, practicing all sorts of volutions, and forming a picture in tieir white pants and roundabouts and ailor caps, as they kept regular stroke pith their oars and formed and reformed t every angle at tho word of command, isplayed by signal. On the second ay the Board went to sea with the mid,ies on tho man-of-war 'Wyoming' aud witnessed, the target firing of the great uns at a thousand yards while the ship pas uuder steam. The taruet was a black ausliu sail, triangular in shape, built n a platform aud anchored out in deep pater. Every gun had a equad and u ;un captain, and the whole ship in all inr Hcnorlmnntji u*oo 5?i llm l\nt?rio n( !??> toys. Their tiring was something wonierful for accuracy. After the first few hots they had the range down tine, and he shells nearly all fell in line of the arget, while a fair proportion of them truck the bull's-eye plump, thus ahowng that if the target had been a ship, learly every shot would have hit her. "Ihis is the regular practice of the toys. They are up in all the detailed an-of-war management. They man ho yards as common sailors, run the ngineo, stand J\t the wheel, bepve the t?ad. lut yo and take up tho anchors, pull n the ropeB, and in a word, ruu the phole business. A manlier looking Bet f young follows could At be gathered ogether.* They are winnowed mina ol flieat, so to speak, sifted out of the haff, and of couree are a pinked lot of ioyc.^ 'Speaking of the 'winnowing bus}icbb, said the reporter, "how in it that o few boys complete the course successully ?" "That was a puzzle to mo," said Mr. Jatnnbell: utho sneoial Hulvcommitt'oe of ho Hoard ta whom this Bubfect was nsIgnod, putin much of their tiuio invesiptinj: it. The conclusion waa finally eucbed, and embodied in a report, that he preliminary examination did not orrespond to tho exactions of the Bubequent Qour&e, and therefore tho prq? iqinary standard ought to be raised so bata boy need not bo entrapped into an iffo^t for wh\ch ho was really unfitted, t was found that in one recent ye?r out if eighty-one boys admitted only nineeen had heea graduated, or less tiwn jnp-famtl}. Jn fact', an average ol forty\vo percent of tho hoys admitted nevei mil through. They fail by the way i^e, the heaviest mortality heinc of :ourse in the lirat ami seoond years.' V What other recommendations did th( Board of Visitors make?" "Well, they recommended that the present latitude of admission be curtail 3d so as to admit only boys between ibi igea of fifteen and eighteen. At nrccun tho ago is fifteen to twenty. A boy ov eighteen ia too old to go to the academ considering thut ho hanufiix ycmtVeonr beforo him, four yearB at tho acaden k and two yearn at sea." '.'Why was the courso chauged froi four to Bix years?" "Because wo graduate moro ollicer oven under the winnowing procen ^ than we could provide places for. Bi ^ nevertheless tho oxtenHion Beoras t have been a mistake. OlUcers of tl ?y Js'avy testify that the two years at at amounts to very little in tho way of stud: and tho duties of a cadet under sue circumstances are limited tosuch*irr< sponsible oftlces as to result in ver little mental development. The Boar therefore recommended a return to th id four years' course, especially as tho la^ ? uow provides that no moro ollieers caj 1' be absorbed into tho service than occui 0 ring vacancies require." it ''On tho whole, how did tho nava u school and its management impreci you?" "Very favorably,indeed. ItiBagroa school, tho greatest naval school, aa ar ollicer of tho Brazilian navy assured me ? in tho world. If manhood cannot bt > developed at Aunapolis it is because the r germs of it do not exiBt in tho' bov a Every step is a step upwards, physically I* and mentally.

He fa given every chatice 1 by tho Government; is well fed and > clothed, well cared for in oicknesH and health, but the Academy does not un1 dertake to supply brains or disposition " to a boy," "Don't you think that if all the boys were appointed by competitive examina1 tiona tho government would get better ' material?" "That is my opinion, but it did not seem to be the opinion of the Commandant, Captain Sampson, witb whoin that subject was discussed, llo claims that a well raised boy and not merely aBmart boy from the schools, in as a rule tho best material out of which to mako an officer. An inborn sense of character is aii iudispensiblo pro-requisite for a high type of olficer in bis opinion, but I do not see why this desirable element can not bo as well obtained by competitive examination as by political favoritism. When a Congressman appoints a boy he generally appoiuta the aon of eome influential political friend, aud very ofteu indeed he thus saddles a very iudiUerent appointment upon the district. "Aii this talk about the Naval School," said Mr. Campbell to tho reporter, "iB very interesting to ine, but don't you think you have interviewed mo about enough for one day, and gotten aa many noteB as you will care to write out or the public to read?" The reporter had to acknowledge that there waa something in this suggestion, aud after expressing his obligation for the answers to his questions given above ho retired to write up his material in hand. the coum couumosm.

An appeal bond waa directed to bo filed in the case of Squiro Davis, taken to the Supreme Court. The members tiled ther annual jury lists, as required by the new law. Tho Board then went into session as a Board of Equalization and Appeals. The owners of tho Martin's Ferry ferry boat were exempted from paying taxes for]8S9on personal property; as thoy pay taxes in Ohio. The Electrical Railway company was also exempted from paying taxes under the county assessment, as it is now assessed aa a railroad by the State Board of Public Works, since its lino is in two different counties. There wero also several petitions for reduction of assessments in countrv die tricta, and one from the Eighth ward, which were granted for flood cause.

The traflic between Wheeling and Bellaire was of sufficientvolume to keep one boat busy, but the owners getting a good offer tor the steamer Bellaire, parted with their property, as they had other objects in view. Tho travel between Wheeling and Bellaire by boat is of more importance than many impgine, as the Bellaire, Zanesville <& Cincinnati railroad . necessitates a great amount o( transportation from the Ohio terminus to this city. Since the steamer Bellaire has been sold'the railroad company has been llguring on the purchase of the steamer R. E. Phillips. Pending the negotiations, Mr. Harry J.
