CLARKSBL'lUi, W. Va., May 7.?All 61plosion
took placo just as the workmen
ere preparing to enter the main ahalt
of the Ocean mine, near here, early this
morning,causing the doath of four men,
who had gone In at the big air shaft,
three-fourths of a mile from the main entrance.
Seven men had entered the
air shaft?three of them, Martin Feathers,
John Yeageraad William Donohue,
escaping uninjured, being only 100 feet
in the cut ?.'<en the explosion occnrred.
The other four men, Joseph Feathern,
Charles Welsh, Nathan Gainca and
William Dongherty, wore caught in several
headings leading to their rooms and
burned to death,
A searching party was organized,
which entered from tho big air shaft and
proceeded carefully toward the chambers.
When about one-fourth of a mile
in they discovered the body of Gharlee
Welsh. He was lying on his side liter
ally skinned Djr tne ure, mere Doing not _
a particle ol skin left on him. His body j
wan curried to the shaft and placed in
the hands of friends and the searchers _
returned into the mine. They were unable
to pet over three-quarters of a mile
in from the big shaft, on account of the g
extreme heat, and it wa* estimated they
were within 700 feet of the other men. ?
Till SIABCH AUANDONED. b
At 10 a. m. the search from the north \
flido was abandonod and the party proceeded
to the main shaft, where they 4
entered the mino and penetrated about
two thousand feet, when they were
again driven back by the heat, being at
least 200 feet from the men on that side. v
The search was then abandoned until C
Jate this afternoon to allow the mino to H
cool. About 5 p. m. tho search was re- 0!
newed and the body 01 Joseph Feathers o:
waa discovered between the fourth, left O
and black diamond chambers, burned to G
a crisp. The other fcffo inon are still in
the mine. a<
A week amo to-day there was a slight
ezploaion and several men wore scorched.
Kince that time the Superintendent 5
has gone in early each morning in the
Jead with the oaly safety lamp belong' U
ing to tho mine,, and ?aa has shown up p
each time. A shot which was pt^ in ai
yesterday opened the coal, allowing tho T
gas to fill tho mine, and it is supposed
ihattlie fire originated from the lamps
ol one of the miners who entered by the _
air shaft. 11
DESOLATE FAMILIES.
The men whe lost their liveB were all w
niMvied. Welsh was a young man, son- a
in-law of Joseph Feathers, and without w
children. Joseph Feathers leaves a wife ^
and ten children, Qainea a wife and
seven children and Dougherty a wifn 01
and five children. The mine is leased a|
by Black, Sheridan Wilson, of Georges tt
Creek, Maryland, and works twenty-four n

the substance of the correspondence

The Attorney General had several
inferences on the subject with the Sec*

"Can you take the vessel on the high 11

"Yea, air," replied Secretary Tracy
nphatically. *
" Will you do it ?" asked the reporter. v
"I have no auswer to make to that" P
plied the Secretary. "You can't skin Bl

he lack of facilities for rendering prompt B0
ind efficif-nt assistance. In fact he hud
ilways done Lis own wrecking, taking w,
lis chance of fines, rather than trust a j.
valuable vessel to the slow work of the
Canadian service. Americana had aimlar
wrecking laws, but an efficient ser- ac
rice. jj

The examination of David Bell, one of
be jurors who bad been accepted by nf
oth Bides as fair and unprejudiced, war al.
ery interesting and for'm time waa very "f
xciting. His examination waa finished, jjj
ut the case was not finally disposed of ca
nd will come up again this morning. di;
When court opened the record waa th
?ad for the first time since the trial |||
egan without an objection on the part tb
[ either side. The first matter con- th
dered was a statement from Mr. W. F. 00
^riep. who hsd been selectod as a juror. J?
Lr. Kriegsaid to the court that be felt : p
itiafied that be conld not hear all that t
ould be said in the trial. He said that ha
is capacity (or hearing was not steady; h
lat sometimes he could-hear well and
; others he would lose all ability to
Bar and several sentences would pass
ithout his hearing them at all. ]
Mr. Krie* also said that he had an ill rCg
other, who is nearly eighty years old, r ,
id who was in such condition ihat her
[o waa very precarious. JOn these "a
ounds he asked to do excused, and ,iu
le Htate asked that he be excused. ?le
be defense objected to bis beirg ex* "n
ised, because be woe in tbe panel and ar}'
rther selection of jurors would conitue
time and put off'the bearing of >n
e cause unnecessarily. After counsel [,H1
id argued tbe matter at length, it was "Rl
opped for the time. *hf
Later Dr. A. F. Stifel was sent for and uh
ated that be bad frequently examined tna
id treated Mr. Krieg for bis hearing J?r
is hearing is somewhat impaired. Dr. Bltt
ifel said tbat a watch which he or anher
person who hears normally could ma
;ar at thirty inches, Mr. Krieg would tj 1
>t bear at more than six or eight
ches. When several persons are talk- i"1]
g at once, while bis attention is drawn e
one. he will Jhear bim but wonld not

r. Riheldaffer, an employe of Mr. 'or

, out
juror bells age. ma
The question whether a juror who the
paai aixty jeara old is aipquauuea woe LU
en broagbt up by Oaptain Dovener, aa
bad promiaed to do tbe night before, jur
bis making a station tbat all those
rors who are past sixty years old bo 1
cused at once without further exami- tin
tion. . aut
Ibe question is raised on account of the
e wording of section 1 of chapter 110 ciU
the Code, which is as follows: pay
"All male pereona who are over twenty* qui
e years and not over sixty, and who Oil
b citizens of thin State, shall be liable to tha
rve aa jurors, except as hereinafter hu
ovided. the
The room for argument comes from Bel
e statement that all over twenty-one did
all be liable ia construed to mean that legi
under twenty-one shall not be liable, the
L>ce all under sixty are liable and all qui
er sixty are not liable. The further me
ieation whether a man is diaqualiiied Lef
cause he ia not liable presented itself, fro;
irther, if one does not deeire to avail pre
mselfof tbe opportunity not to serve jfic
cause it ia ottered, does the language llli
the ecction make it obligatory upon of i
e court to diamiaa him and doea it die- wh
alify him for tbat duty? Oaptain ezc
jvener stated his roeition and Mr. ccn
mmerville addriseed the court. In tha
pport of biB opposition to Captain qui
jvener's motion ho read from vol. 16, coc
attan'i reports, page 519, the case of cos
10th and Smith vs. the Commonwealth wo
Virginia. The case was decided by anj
e Supreme Court in May, 1801, before die
est Virginia was detached from the old
jtber State. In the case, the decision
is delivered by Judge Morcure, at ?
chmond. Booth and Smith were inctrd
before a grand jury one member the
which was more than sixty years old. as
le case woe decided againut the appel* ?r
its. The opinion of Moncnre went ^ifl
to the case in detail and held that j
lile a juror way be excused on acconnt d0
bis age, he is not on that account in* ^a(
Captain Dovener stated that the ^
tbority cited by Mr. Kommerville was pre
erely an opinion by Judge Moncure
to the grammatical construction of eX[
e statuto. He held that because the j
ituto says that all between twenty-one apt
d fixty are liable to jury duty, and all j
ider twenty-one are excluded on that (
ound, then all who are sixty or over ap|
e excluded for the same reason. Col.
rpett held that upder twenty-one is a }
mmon law difouaiiiication and pro- (
eded to review Judge Mcncure's case Dr?
Grattan. Capt. Dovener said he took j
jue with the caee cited, and with all re- (
ect wished to arguo the matter on w
lotber line from the line laid down by u'
oncure. mi]
fApTAJN POVXNXB'fl fOINT. j
Captain Dovener held that the da- (
nse had no grievance, because if there say
e two men in the panel who are dis* Dr.
lalified by age or other statutory dis- j
>ility the court proceeds to #11 their (
aces by men who are free from all dis* aaj
lalifications and against whom there
n be no objection. If our point proves j
ter this trial to l>e well taken, and h
ere is upon the Jury a man who |s p;
ore than sixty, it is the same as eleven <
en trying; the case, and it would be Yc
inonntiturional and nn error nnri 7

and for another trial. In proof, be vol

Ad latcrmtloa Incident. I1
At the opening, Colonel Arnett adresaed
the court, aajisg that the de- at
:nae held that vhen the Supreme Court
1 this State, or of the State of Virginia m
efore the formation of this State, had
sndered decisions that aettled matters th
I lav, it vaa obligator; upon the lover de
>urta until such time that the Supreme
ourt reverses Itself. These decisions
i other States are presenUid merely aa vl
gumenta, but w ben a decision ia made cu
v tha Rimromfl f!ntirfc nf thin fitjitu it la cp:
aal. Colonel Arnett held that when a
a to adopts a statate of another Slate it mi
list adopt with it the decisions of hit
inrts upon that statate. Colonel Ar- <
itt then read from G rat tan'a report of is <
e opinion of Judgo Moncare to sup- die
>rt his position, holding that when a cae
itnte that eoDplementa common law is Ga
pealed, the provisions of common law 1
ive the same force as if the act had mi
>ver existed. Colonel Arnett held that <
Idecinions were in effect that service sa>
>on a jury is not a privilege to the cit* the
:n, but a burden im|>oeed. On one h?
Jo there is no gronnd for objection be- I
use the juror has been relieved of a imj
ity of citizenship, and on the other an
at he may not take umbrsge because Mr
e person so relieved chooses to accept (
at relief, and refuses to farther bear tba
at burden. The Colonel stated that gtu
e reason one under twenty-one could i
t be a juror is because he has not and be
d never has had any of the privileges up<
citizenship, and has never beon a cit- wit
in under the common law. A man C
10 has passed the age of sixty years, use
8 had and borne the duties of citizen- &
ip, and is in no wise dirqualified from C
joying aay ol thoae privilf*gea. Mr.
TUB STATE OPPOSE*. C*?1
Sir. Howard spoke for the Stato. Ho q
id a decision from the reports of Rhode in ft
and giving a definition of the word not
ble, tending to show that all who are acl|
alitied are not liable. The argument a
o went to state that jury duty was a lf#A
ty and not a privilege of citizenship, ltl.
d that it had always been so consider- ? nl
in that State. Mr. Howard held that ID&
the Virginia case, it was the prisoner ..V
sing the point that a man past sixty a1?;
i served upon the jury, while here f;
i prisoner is in the unheard of and u
paralleled position of maintaining ???
it a man jjaat sixty shall sit upon the air|
y. Even if a man has qualified and is rj
ingiipon the panel,the prisoner has no R ,
son for demanding his retention. No p
n has a right to select, and tho right ^
reject is not tho right to select. That SlW
i prisoner is to be tried by a fair and ^1:.
partial jury is all the right ho has.
should not hava tbe right to say who H
ill sit upon that jury, but he may say an,2
o shall not sit there. The court may w
miss any juror, so that tbe court
nishes in his place another man who ?vei
jirand impartial. No juror has .my J.0
ted tight in tho matter. It is not a aeP.
tit, but a duty imposed, and it lies ,
irely with the court, aud the court
y dismissor hold asitplcasessolongsi dldl
re are nodicqualifyingcircumstances. y?2
9 fact that a man is past sixty years ,,,
is a disqualifying circumstance, and
State aaks that the court set these a,f?
ore aside. . j
A MAN OVKR SIXTY KLIQIBLK.
'ho court said that it bad not had
te to make a perfect examination of M
horities. There is some conflict in not
elementary authorities. The case i
>d in Grattan sixteen, the syllabus to a
s that persons over sixty are not die- M
ilifled, but 8re merely exempted, thu
r law is substantially the same as of *
t except that the words "white free" Ms
re been omitted, as is necessary under lege
i new constitutional conditions, to a
ing under twenty-one years of age lear
qualifies persons because they are not Stat
al men, but being men over sixty it n
v are legal citizens and are not disilified.
Section 2 of chapter 110 JJ
uns to show and interpret who the the
nslature meant should be exempted M
m jury duty. ItBeems that the ex- He
ission exempted means not a ditqual* the
ation but a privilege. Jneomestates, thai
nois, Indiana and Miesitsippi, the age to s
sixty years is grounds for a challenge, #Ho
ile in some states it is a ground for wot
>mption, but not for challenge. The Sati
irt said it was inclined to the view Baid
it in striking ont the affirmation of Moi
alification in the statute, and on ac- and
idt of tbe decision of tbe Virginia had
e reported in sixteen G rat tan, be be i
aid give the prisoner the benefit of exc
r doubt and overrule the motion to did
miea ttyose jurors who are sixty years
or over. thii

Mr. M. V* Richards, Land and Immigration
Agent ol the Baltimore A Ohio,
arrived in the city Uat night, accompanied
by Messrs. J. L. Hunter and
W. 0, Edwards, two Welsh gentlemen
whom he is piloting through the npper
portion of the State on a business tour
of discovery. The visitors decline to
itate the special object of their mission,
but they are well pleased with what
"You will be gratified to know," aa'd
Mr. Kicbards, '"that West Virginia at
racta increaaing attention. Oar inluiriea
grow in number and importance.
Jitpitallsta are bearing more about Wait
Virginia and paying more attention lo
that they bear. They are coming in
fith their money and their induamea.
iy the way, there is a marked contrrit
it tweeu the West Virginia of to-day at d
be West Virginia of three yeara age,
rhenthe IsTsujaixcia started the d?elopment
movement. Youcanaeeit ,
rerywhere. Towns that were asleep
re wide awake, eatabliabing new lnrfaaries
and adding to the old onee. You
in hardly find a vacant houae
i any Weat Virginia town of
iy acquaintance. There la yonr
car neighbor, Moundsville. Within
ix months from ninety to one hundred
nusea will be needed for the people
ho will locate there to work in the
ew industrial eatabliahmenta. Tleee
omea mutt be provided. That make*
ork all around. We stopped off at
alrmont, and there ia activity again.

and for cottages in the mountains. If
e had one hundred and fifty we could
>ut them at ouca. The tide is sotting
rong in this direction. By the wav. 1
ive just brought East seven families
horn I took to Dakota from Ohio seven
)ara ago. These are not the first and
ley will not ba the last. It becomes
1 easier matter every day."
CUarleatowu'a Ho lid Activity.
Messrs. Forest W. Brown and R. A.
lexander, of Oharlestown, came in last
ght from the lower end of the Stat*,
here they have been in the interest of
tiarlestown's development enterprise.
"We are arranging for our lot sale on
e 14th and 15th inst," said Mr. Brown.
Dhe railroads are giving us excursion
tee, and we shall have an immense atudance.
Governor Fleming will be
ith us, probably Secretary of Ptate
tiley also. A good many are coming
) from the lower end of the State,
tere will be at least twenty from Mone
county, ex-Speaker Rowan among
em. 1011 Know wo nave many bhkb*
>ldera in Wheeling, and we are hoping
see thorn on tbe 13th, tbe day of the
Btribution of lota to stockholders,
ley will naturally be interested to reain
to tbe sale. Yea, there will be
any from the East, from Baltimore,
liladelphia and Hartford, where a
od deal of our stock is held. Charles*
wn's development is nolongerau ex*
riment. It is a fact."
Mr. Alexander said that about fortyre
new houses are now in course of
ection. "It was found that houses had
be put up, and a building comny
was organized to mike tbe
irt. Others followed, and the work is
ing pushed. You will hardly recogca
the old town the next time you
me over."
"Our Gonotrjr Coaaln.",
Frank Jones, an actor well and favor*
ly known in Wheeling and vicinity,
d a native of this part of West Virata,
had a good audience at the Grand
it night, and delighted all by tbe preQtatlon
of his new drama, "Our Conn7
Cousin." It is as natural and as enfable
as "The Old Homestead" or any
that general class of plays, and has
e added attraction of some scenic
ects and mechanical features seldom
rpasseri for realism on the stage.
