erl ent The following are the names and condition of the men as they appeared when brought to the to of the shaft, and the order in which they were found: Andrew Morgan, alive, foaming at the mouth; had been lying in water, and in was shivering from cold and moaning a dreadful manner. Hiram Curtis, dead; was found lying in water, his face downward, features dreadfully swollen and distorted, hands clenched, and had expired apparently suffering the most intense agony. George Cull, dead; was found the behind track the barricade, his head lying across features calm and placid, and died without much evidence of suffering. Robert Smallcomb, alive; was found among those who had taken refuge entwined inside 'in the wall built; had his hands his brothor's hair, which he held as if in the grasp of death. He will doubtless recover.

Thomas Smallcombe, alive; was found near his brother; he was frothing at the mouth, and apparently in a very low condition; will probably not recover. W. R. Davies, alive; but very much exhausted. His efforts to inflate his lungs were of the most The painful is a character, very attended critical with gasping.

case one. Aaron Smallcombe, dead, is the father of the three boys of this name mentioned, was found with his boy, William, in his arms, his face pressed close against his, features rigid and distorted, and shoulders drawn up, eyes open and mouth twisted, indicating that dissolution was attended with great agony. William Smallcombe, alive, was found in his fathers's arms, and did not appear to be suffering as severely as most of his comrades, will probably recover. George Edwards, alive, but suffering the most intense agony foaming at the mouth, and eyes rolling as if in the agonies of death. Michael Cox, alive, but.

like the preceding case, was suffering; hands clinched firmly by his side, eyes closed, shivering from lying in water, and a most pitiable sight. His chances of recovery are very slight. Anthony Ford, alive, and the most favorable case yet presented. Could not speak, but evidently understood his situaand the condition from which he had been rescued. Eyes open and lively in expression.

Will certainly recover. A Youngson, alive, and will also recover. Martin Cooney, dead, his features giving every evidence of the frightful struggle with the adversary of life; hands behind his back, and his eyes glaring in a shocking manner. Cut on the breast and bleeding. Patrick Farley, dead: was an appalling sight; mouth drawn up at one side, left clenched over his heart, and right hand lying by his side; seemed as if he died in the act of mocking an antagonist.

Chas. M'Ginnis, dead, but exhibiting little evidence that he met death as his foe lips closed and features relaxed and pleasant; was found nearly covered with water. John Price, alive, but very dangerously affected; hands working spasmodically, and eyes set as if in the agonies of death; will not, in all probability, recover. Owen Macken, alive, is strong man but appeared to be suffering terribly it is difficult to say whether or not he will recover. James Jones alive.

His father caught him in his arms and bore him away the moment he was lifted out of the carriage appeared to be very far gone. I heard it stated by one of the physicians in attendance that he stands a poor chance of recovery. John Borroughs, alive, but very far gone, his pulse at the time being scarcely perceptible; will not recover. Martin Crane, alive, but shows signs of having suffered the most intense agony while in the mine; clothes torn and face bruised, as if struck against a rock; may recover, but it is doubtful. John Gibbs, alive, and apparently suffering from severe exhaustion.

Death of Four More Men. The Pittston Tragedy. The Sufferers. PITTSTON, May all the men have been taken out of four more have died. A number of others are not expected to recover.

An inquest was commenced this morning. The testimony has all been taken and the jury have adjourned to meet in half an hour to consider the testimony and render a verdict. The evidence thus far shows an unpardonable, if not criminal neglect on the part of the inspector and operators. There is but little now to be seen, the dead having been removed to their late residences, and of those taken out alive, who were cared for at the Luzerue house, all were removed. But three among the whole number who were taken out alive have as yet recovered their senses.

Thomas Edwards and his son have so far recovered as to be able to recognize their friends. Statement of William Davis. Tam one of the men who have so narrowly escaped death in the West Pittston mine; now feel extremely weak and exhausted and very dizzy in my head as well as sick at my stomach. At the moment when I first heard that the breaker was on fire I was hard at work in my chamber in the mine. As soon as the alarm was given, and we understood the exact nature of the danger, we all came together as quickly as we could find one another in the gangway at the foot of the shaft, and finding it hopeless to attempt to go up, and knowthat there was no other way of escape, we decided at once to build a barricade and to shut ourselves in behind it.

We had one thing of the greatest importance in our favor -thero was no furnace in the mine, and air was furnished in the pit by a large fan which drove it down, We were perfectly well aware of the fact that our lives depended almost entirely upon the barricades we were building and we therefore made it as strong as possible. We of made coal it by and trimming off very large lumps then fitting them together closely in a stout wall. When it was comsecure pleted we knew that it was was a perfectly barrier against the fire. We then gave the closest attention by listening to what was going on outside. For two or three hours at least after the barricade was finished we could distinctly hear the noise that was made at the top of the shaft, but after that time the assurance seemed to come upon us all that we should never be taken out of the mine alive.

The reason of this change of feeling was that of so many us began to feel drowsy, which We knew must be the effect of impure air. After this we quite resigned ourselves to the death which seemed certain and went to work to held a prayer meeting, with meet it. We make our preparations to praying, and at last we gave each singing other and a parting caress and then each of us bid man an affectionate farewell every of meeting one another in Heaven. the hope with course thought much of what could We of to attract the be done who knew attention of the men outside to we deliver were doing all in their power us, so that we might be found as soon as possible and no time be lost in search of traces of us. For this one man was sent to the ganway at the purpose foot of the east shaft, who wrote with a piece of coal on the outside of the door of the east gangway that we had barricaded ourselves behind it.

Deputy Commissioner, of Internal Revenue, Douglass, was tendered, but declined the position, and no person has since that time been designated to succeed Mr. Sargent, 35 Lancaster Intelligencer.

EVENING. MAY 30, The Infamous Registry Law. publish elsewhere an address sent We the Democratic members of the out by Legislature, in which far the it infamies relates to of the Registry Law, so as the City of Philadelphia, are fully We need not do more than call posed. attention to the facts set forth in this address to insure for it a careful perusal. It exposes the outrageous character of the enactments, in a manner which cannot fail to carry conviction to the mind of every one who examines the statements which are authoritatively made.

No stronger exemplication of the fact, that the Republican leaders believe their party to be sick unto death, could be afforded, than is furnished by their action in reference to this Philadelphia Registry Bill. By it, they have virtually proclaimed that the Republican party in Pennsylvania is desperately diseased, and that its life can only be prolonged by the use of the most desperate remedies. The fact is so patent that the Registry Law was especially devised to enable the creatures of the Radical Board of Aldermen, of Philadelphia, to count in the Republican candidates for office, whether they were elected or 1 not, that its authors scarcely care to deny that such was their object. The plan adopted for disfranchising the PhiladelDemocracy is as simple as it has phia heretofore been effective. The Republican majority of the Board of Aldermen appoint Republican canvassersto makes registry of the voters of the districts, and these canvassers are invested with power to put on or strike off names from their lists at their discretion.

The election officers also are all of them appointed by the same Radical majority of the Aldermen, who select for these positions and fishy quick-witted Republicans venal or wooden-headed Democrats. It would seem that Democratic candidates in Philadelphia would have small chance of successfully overcoming the obstacles which encumber their road to office; especially when we consider that their certificate of election must come from a packed Board of Return Judges, who, sitting in secret and clothed with absolute power, "fix up" the election returns to suit themselves; and it never suits them to find that a Democrat has been elected. The amendments which the Democratic Senate so strenuously insisted should be made to this Registry Bill were so manifestly fair and just, and so well-calculated to prevent fraud, that nearly all the Republican papers of Philadelphia, as will be seen by the extracts therefrom incorporated in the Address, felt.compelled to endorse them and even the Press, published by the man who has undertaken for a valuable consideration -being the Collectorship and $30,000 in' cash -to carry the State for Grant, could find nothing to say against the amendments proposed except that they were unnecessary; intimating that the and fairness of elections was sufficiently guarded under the law as it stands, but not daring to distinctly assert so patent a falsehood. The Radical city politicians, by the pressure which they brought to bear upon their party friends in the Legislature, to prevent the adoption of so reasonable an amendment, as was that which directed the returns to be made in the presence of the Judges of the Court--all Republicans but one- -have clearly confessed that they have no hope of carrying Philadelphia, except "through fraudulent tampering with the election returns. Their proposed iniquity being thus proclaimed It will be the duty of the City Democracy, forewarned, to take efficient meas.

ures for their protection from the effects of the threatened fraud; and we incline to think that they will be able to devise effective means to secure their rights. A Mormon Cadet. President Grant has appointed a son of Brigham Young as a cadet at Point. And this, notwithstanding Young has been nearly all his life in open hostility to the government of the United States, and is the chief exponent of polygamy, which is severely punished as a crime by our laws. The Presiident must be a convert to the doctrines of Mormonism, or he would not surely give them the quasi endorsement which is involved in the appointment to West Point of the unlawful son of the Mormon leader.

The cadets at West Point are 8 persecuted set of individuals. They have 1 had a negro thrust among them whom they 'are required to consider and treat as their equal. And now they must receive among them in like manner, a boy who is the result of adulterous practices which his father exults in, and which are sanctioned by his religion. The young cadets, fresh from Sunday-schools at home, will be somewhat puzzled to reconcile the precepts taught them therein, with the practices of Brigham Young which they see have been endorsed by the President of the United by the bestowal upon one of their fruit of a cadetship at large; a reward is recognized as commonly given by the President to the sons of distinguished men who have done good service for their country.

Fearful Forest Fires: THe latest intelligence from various quatters of Now York, New Mersey and Pennsylvania shows that fires of unparalleled destructiveness, and covering a vast extent of valuable tim bar and arm lands, are still raging for rilles in the Delaware Valley, and a dense cload of smoke has obscured the sun for several days.

In Pike county, the fires have swept the mountains for ten miles to the Delaware river. The mountain overhanging the village of Matamoras, opposite Port Jervis, has been 8 pillar of fire for two days and nights. Although the timber is green and in foliage, the flames shoot up the trees like lightning flashes, and by night present an appearance that beggars of the description, county the In the lower townships woods are suffering from the ravages of fire. Near Pond Eddy, on the Erie Railway, where the extensive quarries of the Pennsylvania Blue-Stone Company are situated, work was suspended for two days owing to the oppressive heat occasioned by adjacent fires. In Wayne county, thousands of dollars', worth of lumber, standing and cut, have been timber consumed.

Railroad ties, bark and have also been destroyed in large quantities. In Monroe county, where tanning and lumbering are the leading interests, much bark and timber have been destroyed. A man named Coryell is reported to have been burned to death near Tobyhanna, on the Delaware and Lackawanna Railroad. He was sleeping in an old cabin, and before he was aroused ho was so badly burned that he died in a few hours. In Paradise township a valuable hotel property, belonging to Wm.

Henry, of Monroe county, has been burned ground. The farmers, tanners and lumbermen of certain districts have suspended work. Much damage has been sustained by growing crops. Carbon has been fearfully devastated. Near White Haven the fire burst forth with renewed fury on Friday last, after having been more or less destructive for two weeks previous.

Driven by a strong northwest wind it spread rapidly. The East Haven schoolhouse and David Colyer's residence were burned. The fire swept rapidly through the woods to the residence of A. Gorringer, destroying on the way the house of John Shaffer. Mr.

Gorringer succeeded in romoving his family in safety, buton returning to endeavor to save the building he was completely surrounded by the flames and escaped with great difficulty. The buildings belonging to Mr. Gorringer were destroyed, including barns containing valuable stock and produce. The fire continued on its course to Hay's Creek, burning to the ground the house of W. V.

Dreisline, the family narrowly escaping. The fire crossed Hay's creek, and swept toward Hickory Run. The houses of John Magee, George Fox and George Weiss were saved with great efforts. The town of Sewardsville was only preserved by persistent endeavors on the part of the entire population for two days, when a heavy fall of began. At Hickory Run the loss is severe." The hotel, with all its contents, at Henryville, was ontirely, consumed.

Millions of feet of thousands cords of wood, bark and ties have been reduced to ashes. C. P. Holcomb Keck, Childs and Albert Lewis are among the heaviest losers. county, N.

along the Blue Mountains, has been the scene of extensive fires the past week. Several school-houses have been destroyed. Walpack and Sandy stone townships have suffered most. These fires, although widely separate, appear to rage simultaneously. Large quantities of game-bear, deer, and foxes, with which the burned district aboundedmust have been destroyed.

The loss in the whole territory cannot fall below 000. The fires are now smouldering. The Duello in North RALEIGH, May 28, 1871. -The controversy between Governor Caldwell and Josiah Turner, editor of the Sentinel, is published. Turner accused the Governor of appointing one of his brothers-in-law a railroad director, who declined the office.

The Governor then descends from the dignity of the Executive and flings filth at the editor in an apologistic card. A long correspondence ensues, ending with a challenge from the editor, then in Columbia, S. which the Governor, under date the 25th refused to accept on the ground that the duello was a modo of redress universally recognized by gentlemen to be impossible. On receipt of this Turner returns from Columbia and publishes a card, which will appear in the Sentinel of to-morrow, concluding as follows: I might here close with the correspondence, having given the Governor the first and the last word. He has no reason to complain that the public does not properly understand the cause of quarrel between us.

The extent of my offence wast this, and nothing more: I published a rumor that one of his brothers-in-law had refused to accept the appointment of railroad director from the Governor. The card signed by Judge Ruffin, Mr. Jones and Thos. Cain, brothers-in-law of the Governor, whom he ventured to say would not believe me on oath, was not sought or asked for by me. was of their own motion that they published it, and though it was but an act of justice to me, it was more than a rebuke to the Governor.

I thank them for this unsought statement. I never. read the code. I am no advocate or admirer of it. I am told it requires that I should now post Mr.

Caldwell as a liar and a coward. This will not look well, because he is the Governor, and meanly and falsely says in his last card that I gave him no chance to apologize. therefore, violate the code and refuse to post him, and leave his scurrilous, defamatory card and his own contradiction of it to be read and condemned with the universal contempt and detestation which itdeserves. The purpose of Mr. Caldwell was altogether political.

He did not feel injured or aggrieved by my publishing a rumor relative to the appointment of his brotherin-law. His purpose was by falsehood and base calumny to weaken the force of what I might say in the approaching campaign. That was his purpose, more nor less. He left the Executive Chair when he calumniated and slandered me. He left it again when he commissioned his friend, Major Hearne, to receive and answer notes as he did, and he did not resume it until a peremptory challenge suggested a retreat.

will not pursue him into the sanctuary of the hold coward, him in which he has taken refuge, but up to the world as void of courage as of decency and shame, and warn the public that there is no depth of meanness to which he would not descend. It is anticipated that the appearance of this is card will create some lively work tomorrow. Foreign News. PARIS, May fighting at Belle- ville, Menilmontant Pere la Chaise was desperate.

NEW May 20. 1871. Messrs. Editors; -The State ticket made at Harrisburg, on the Mth meets the approbation of Democrats in this section of the State. The names of Medandless and Cooper, fell on the ears of the Radicals of this county, like a clap of thunder from a clear sky.

There are many men in this county who formerly voted the Republican ticket, that will at the next election poll the full Democratic ticket-especially the working class. They have been so badly misrepresented by the Miners' Journal, a paper in the interests of monopolies and corporations, and at the same time one of the most bigoted and ultra journals in the State. If a good county ticket is made in Schuylkill county this year, the October election will show a larger majority than has been given for many years. In looking over the list of delegates to the Democratic Convention in Lancaster county, we saw Caernarvon township was not represented in that body. We know there are about one hundred and fifty as good Democrats in that district as are to be found anywhere in the State.

Why had it no delegates in that Convention? must wake up! Some of the young men must take the advance. Messrs. William Witman, Lot Rogers, Thomas Edwards, and others, formerly took the lead in the primary meetings of that district; but they have grown grey in the service, and at their advanced age, it does not at all times suit them to make a journey of twenty miles. Are there no young men in Cernarvon to fill their places? We know there are. Let it not be said of Carnarvon that it failed to do its duty in the hour of its country's danger.

We have had no rain here for about three weeks until to-day; we had a small shower afternoon. SCHUYLKILL. Local Intelligence. Lancaster and Keading Railroad. Trains leave Depot, head of Prince street, at 8:20 A.

Brown, residingin Manor township, above Washington borough, met with an accident which resulted in the loss of his left arm. He had come to Lancaster to participate in the Whitsuntide festivities, and having missed the 6 o'clock passenger train west, walked down the railroad to a point below the Locomotive Works, for the purpose of getting upon a freight train, it being usual at that hour for several freight trains to close up to each other and stop long enough to take water. In attempting to get upon the third freight west, while it was in motion, he slipped and fell between the last, and next to last car of the train. and his leftarm falling across the track, the wheel passed over it, crushing and larcerating it in a shocking manner. He was taken to the baggage-room of the Penna.

Railroad Company, where his arm was amputated J. L. Atlee assisted' by Dr. Carpenter and Dr. Atleo Junior.He was then taken to his residence.

Mr. Brown is a well-known river pilot, some fifty years of age, has a wife and a large family. IN THE WRONG as one of our handsome country-cousins was passing a hotel in North Queen street, he was beckoned to by a gushing belle who occupied a position at one of the second story windows. He hastened on the wings of love to meet her, but unfortunately got into the wrong door, and ascended the stairway of an adjoining private residence. As he was tip-toeing his way from room to room in search of his dulcinea, he was espied by a lady inmate of the house, who having a mortal fear of burglars, ever since the robbery of Harry Zahm's store, quietly slipped down stairs and notified the owner of the dwelling.

Arming himself with a fire-poker, and red with wrath, the gentleman ascended the stairs and caught the intruder in the at of entering his bedroom. Saluting him with certain epithets too vigorous to appear in print, the gentleman asked him what he was doing there. With many obsequious genuflexions, protestations and expostulations, he attempted to explain, and so far succeeded as to prevail upon his prison-keeper to allow him to depart without a cracked head. His adoration of the sex was not cooled particularly by the adventure, for within a few moments afterwards he was in the arms of his charmer; but he vows that hereafter he will steer clear of private resand fire-pokers, and be sure he's right before he goes ahead. AMERICAN MECHANICS.

The parade of the Order of United American Mechanics in Marietta yesterday afternoon was a very fine affair, and was participated in by not less than one thousand members of the order in full regalia. Some fifteen or twenty Councils in this and adjoining counties were represented in the parade, and bands were (present from Lancaster, York, Columbia and Maytown. Under command of Captain George H. Ettla, the Chief Marshal, and Barr Spangler, Assistant, the procession moved through the principal streets of the borough, and was dismissed at the Town Hall Park, where eloquent speeches were made by Professor J.

Mr. Messenkop is one of the very best conservators of the peace in the city, and deserves credit for his devotion to the duties of his office, notwithstanding the narrow -minded partizanship of the Radical authorities who refused him a position on the city police force, because he is a Democrat.
