EARTII CAVED IN
AND SIX WORKMEN BURIED UN¬
DER THE AVALANCHE.
Five Instantly Killed and the Sixth
Fatally Injured.
Six section men in tho employ oi
the Virginia Coal and Iron Company
met their death near Big Stone Gap,
Ky., shortly after noon Saturday.
They were working on the Virginia
Coal and Iron Company’s road that
runs from Appalachia to Pioneer ami
had stopped at the side of tho road
under an overhanging stratum of rock
to eat their dinners where they had a
fire built.
The section foreman stepped from
under the cliff to get a driuk of water.
He had been gone but an iuBtant whet:
the rocks overhead gave way, falling
on the remaining six men, instantly
killing five and fatally injuring the
sixth.
It is believed that the fire which had
been burning under tho cliff all morn¬
ing softened the surrounding earth aud
caused it to give way.
THURMAN’S BURIAL.
Laid to Rost in Greenlawn Cemetery
With Impressive Ceremonies.
A Columbus, O., special says: The
brief and simple burial servii es ot
Allen G. Thurman were held at the
family Rich resideuceat Washington avenue
ami street Saturday morning.
There were many more present than
could be admitted to the house, not¬
withstanding the private character of
the funeral.
A profusion of flowers covered the
space about the coffin, which was
placed in the archway leading from
the residence the deceased had occu¬
pied to that occupied by his son, Allen
W. Thurman. Among lire early ar¬
rivals was Governor McKinley, nccom
panied by tho state officials; ex-Gov-
ernor Campbell and lion. L. T. Neal,
of Chillicothe, were also present.
The service at the h >usc was con
ducted by R v. J. L. Graver, himseif
89 years of age and a close friend ol
the deceased. Mr. Gr ver officiated
at the funeral of Mrs. Thurman three
years ago, and tho service deeply im¬
pressed Judge Thurman, who at that
time requested Rev. Grover to repeat
it at his funeral.
The services consisted of the read¬
ing of the 20th psalm, the Lord’s
prayer, reading ol the special funeral
rite, reading from 15th chapter of thy
first Corinthians, “Now is Christ
risen and become the first fruits of
them that slept,” followed by the ben¬
ediction.
Mr. Grover announced that the ser¬
vice would be concluded privately at ‘
the grave by Rev. E L. Rexford, of
the Universalist church. The remains
were interred in Greenlawn cemetery
by the side of his wife.

j CAPITAL NOTES.
GOSSIP OF WASHINGTON IN
BRIEF PARAGRAPHS.
Doings of the Chiefs and Heads of the
Various Departments.
So far as Speaker Reed’s influence
goes, the conclusion reached in the
contested election cases now before
the house, will ho based ou the law
and evideuce without regard to parti¬
san considerations.
The house was not in session Wed¬
nesday, having adjourned over until
Thursday awaiting Mr. Carlisle’s re¬
port. Like tho Salisbury letter, it is
being held back for the president’s
view before being submitted to the
congress.
The senate in executive session
Thursday confirmed the following
nominations: To be judges of t ie
United States court in Indian Terri¬
tory, Constantine D. Kilgore, of
Texas (for tho southern district);
Yancey Lewis, of Indian Territory,
for the central d'stric'); AVm. M.
Springer, of Illinois, (for the north¬
ern district).
The letter of Senator Cameron an¬
nouncing his retirement from the sen¬
ate in 1897, ot the expiration of his
i recent term, lias made a change in
the plans of tho silver men. Senator
Cameron had been ngreed upon as the
silver candidate for tho vacancy in tho
committee on finance and would have
been selected. It would bo useless to
p'ace him on that committee now and
the senator has suggested that some
one else bo ngreed Uj ou. It is under¬
stood that this has been done aud that
Mr. AValcott, of Colorado, will be
given the place.
Senator Bacon introduced a bill
Tuesday providing for ascertaining
tho feasibility and probable cost of
constructing a canal from tho Tennes¬
see river or mar Chattanooga to the
navigable waters of tho Savannah river
in Georgia for the purpose of furnish¬
ing adequate water communication by
tho nearest aud most practical route
from the Atlantic ocean to the naviga¬
ble waters of the rivers in the Missis¬
sippi valley. The bill appropriates
$75,000 for the purpose of a survey,
and directs the secretary of war to
have the route surveyed and estimates
made of the feasibility and cost of
building a canal to accommodate boats
drawing five feet of water.
Annoying Syeaker Reed.
Of the 330 republican members ot
the house more than 200 have request¬
ed of Speaker Rued to beputon tho riv¬
er and harbor committee. Every con¬
gressman who has a harbor, a river or
a creek in his district wants an appro¬
priation for it. This lias annoyed Mr.
Reed much. He wants this congress
io be an economical one, and to make
lt so he is understood to have made up
his committee from the third hundred.
He wants the river and harbor bill
held down to $10,000,000, hut he prob-
ably cannot keep it below $30,000,000
under the log-rolling plan which has
been in vogue for several jeare. The
speaker soys he will cut down on rivers
andhtrbors and public buildit gs in
order to make this an economical con-
Cubans in Washington.
The arrival in Washington Thurs¬
day of General Gonza'o do Quesada,
the well known agitator for the free-
dom of Cuba, aud the announcement
of his intention to arrange for the es¬
tablishment of headquarters nt tho
capital have been matters of much
interest when tho foots became
known. Other members of the Cuban
committee in the United States will bo
in Washington in a short time. Dele¬
gate Palma will follow General Q le-
sada in a few days and the campaign
for recognition of tho belligerents will
he vigorously prosecuted without any
delay.
Several Cubnns who called upon
General Quesada upon his arrival wero
made acquainted, as nearly as possible,
with current eveuts ns they are pro¬
gressing in their army.
Reed as a Candidate For President.
AVhilo Speaker Reed will not talk
for publication regarding tho n xt
republican convention, he does not
hesitate to discuss the subject with
his personal friends. One of his clos-
cst friends is reported as saying:
“Speaker Reed belitves that whoever
is nominated on the republican ticket
will he the next president. He also
believes his own chances for the noiai-
nation are very promising. He is con¬
victed, moreover, that if he is not
nominated this time he never will be.
He snid to mo recently that his great
ambition was to be president of the
United States, but that ho had a hor¬
ror of being looked upon by tho coun¬
try os a perpetual candidate for that
office. He does not intend to be a
Blaine or a Sherman. He does intend
to strive with all his power from now
until the convention adjourns to
secure the nomination. ;

The Industrial Condition as Reported
for the Past Week.
The reports as to southern industri¬
al and business conditions for the past
week are that there is continued activ¬
ity in the iron making sections and a
slow but steady increase in the out-
puls. There is a little irregularity in
prices of aomo grades of pig iron, but
quotations are well maintained. The
showing of the last eight mouths in
tho production of southern iron has
been tho most satisfactory since tho
beginning. Both iron and coal mining
are on firm foundations,and with mod¬
ern methods, eloso attention to details
aud increased intolligenco of opera¬
tions are making these industries more
important each month. Iron is steady,
at unchanged quotations and coal is
very firm, under an increasing de¬
mand. The lumber mauulactur-
ers make good reports, especially
at points near to water transpor¬
tation. Texas lumber is selling better,
and pino is not accumulating. Pino for
northern shipments aud for export is
slowly increasing in demand, Tho
textile industry is unchanged. There
;s a good market for all southern made
goods, which are growing in favor ns
supplbs iucrease. The reports as to

cotton yarn mills at Lesksville, N. C.,
and Ltiliug, Texas, a cotton thread
tn'11 at Fayetteville, Tenu., a knitting

•otton markets are quiet aud much
cotton is held at interior points in ex¬
pectation of higher prices. Mercantile
business is quiet.

BLOWN TO ATOMS.
Four Men Killed by a Blast Explo¬
sion.
By an explosion of powder and dy¬
namite Friday afternoon, four men
wero killed at Big Creek Gap, a mile
and a half north of Lafolette, Camp¬
bell county, Tenn.
Four other men are missing, and
their bodies are being searched for in
tho mass of earth and rock that was
dislodged by the explosion.
The accident occurred on the works
of the Lafolette railroad near Laf il-
ette, where a new road is being pro¬
jected from there to Jellico. A largo
force of men wire at work blasting for
a cut. Three kegs of powder had been
placed in a sixteen-foot hole, and four
sticks of dynamite wero added to the
deadly charge. A fuse was attached
to the powder and lighted, and tho
man ran from the place to a safe dis¬
tance to await the result. They waited
fourteen minutes and tho charge failed
to go off. The men were then ordered
hack into the hole by the foreman to
readjust the fuse. They obeyed the
order, all being apparently satisfied
that the fire had become extinct,
Just as they re-entered the hole,
however, the terrific explosion oc-
curred, and the earth and stono for
many yards around were dislodged aud
thrown into nconglomerate mass with
the remains of the unfortunate vic-
tuns.

MISS GING’S INSURANCE.
Harry Hayward’s Father Relinquishes
All Cl-iiin to the Money.
The expected law suit over Cathe¬
rine Ging’s insurance money is not
likely to be tried at Minneapolis.
W. W. Hayward, father of Harry
Hayward, and to whom tho latter
assigned his claim for the $10,000
insurance on Miss Ging’s life, bus
relinquished all claim to the money.
Miss Ging’s executrix, her twin sister
Julia, claims the money, but the com¬
panies may decide to resist payment
on tho ground that the policies were
assigned to Hayward.
The action of Hayward, 8r., is
taken as an admission that the father

THURMAN IS
THE “OLD ROM AN” PASSES OVER
THE DARK RIVER.
A Life Full of Yours and llouors
Brought to a Close.
Allen G. Thurman died at his homo
in ColumubiiH, O., Thursday. Tho
death of Judge Thurman was a pain¬
ful shock to the genera! public of Co¬
lumbus.
The latest reports from him boforo
his demise were to the effeot that ho
was doing finely. Th.o Thurman resi¬
dence is about a mile from tho center
of tho town, and details wero eagerly
awaited. The immediate causo of his
death was the fall ho sustained some
weeks ago, aud from tho c HVots of
which it was thought ho had partially
recovered.
But his apparent improvement was
temporary only and the end has not
been unexpected for some days, al¬
though his son, Allen AV. Thurman,
stated three days ago that his father
was feeling brighter and better than
he had at any time siuce his fall.
The Old Roman was 82 years old the
13th of last November and had it not
been for his uccidout a month ago
might have lived for a number of
yeurs, for the feebleness of ago had by
no means overcome him. He has not
been able to leave bis homo for moro
than a year, it is true, but he could
walk about the house without aRsist-
auce, could read, and retained much
of the power of his ouoe vigorous
mind.
The shock of the acoident more than
the actual physical injury seemed to
impair his hold upon life, aud while
he grew temporarily better, he at no
time has recovered his accustomed
health.
Brief Sketch of Ills Life.
Allen G. Thurman was born at
Lynchburg, Va., November 13, 1813.
For six generations his ancestors had
been natives of Virginia. His grand¬
father fought in the Revolutionary
war. Ilis father was the llov. P.
Thurman. His mother was the only
daughter of Colonel Nathaniel Allen,
father of William Allen, who, late in
life, became governor of Ohio.
In 1844, against his protest, ho was
nominated for congress and was elect¬
ed alter a quiet canvass, in which
there was nothing on his side but bis
wise and homely speeches, reversing
and adverse majority,by over six hund¬
red votes. He was put on (bn judiciary
committee of the house and was soon
distingui-hod as a great lawyer. He
declined re-election at the close of his
term and retired, as he thought, to
private life for good and all. But iri
1851, when the new constitution of
Ohio was adopted, ho was pressed it.to
the race for a supreme court judgeship
and was elected, leading his ticket by
over two thousand votes. He sat upon
the bench for over four years, tho labt
two years serving as chief justice.*
In 18G7, after a season of rest, ho
was put forward as the democratic
candidate for tho governorship, Gen¬
eral Rutherford B., afterward Presi¬
dent Hayes, leading the republican
hosts. There was no chance for a
democratic victory, the republican
majority the year before having been
43,000. Under Judge Thurman’s
sledge hammer blows, however, this
enormons majority was brought down
to a trifle less than 3,000, aud the leg¬
islature was captured by a decisive
majority, insuring the defeat of Ben
Wade. Judge Thurman was elected
in Mr. Wade’s stead, and took his seat
in tho senate in 1869.
Hi re he served two full terms, from
1809 to 1881. In his “Twenty Years
of Congress” Mr. Blaine says of Mr.
Thurman, that “his rank in the senate
was established from the day he took
his seat und was never lowered during
the period of his service. His retire¬
ment from the senate was asenousloss
to his party—a loss, indeed, to the
body. He left behind him the respect
of all with whom he had been asso¬
ciated during his twelve years of hon¬
orable service. ”
The red bandanna, which fluttered
into such significant prominence im¬
mediately after his nomination to the
vice presidency, was waved triumph¬
antly in the United (States senate
chamber from 1869 to 1881, and dur¬
ing those yenrs in which Mr. Thurman
was tho representative of Ohio.
Cleveland and Thurman.
Cleveland aud Thurman had never
met up to the election of 1884, al¬
though Thurman was a delegate to the
convention which made Cleveland the
nominee. They met after the inau¬
guration and at once developed a great
friendship.
His nomination and defeat for vice-
president on the Cleveland-Thurman
ticket is a matter of recent history.
DEMOCRATS CARRY BOSTON,
Josiah Quincy Elected Mayor By a
Plurality ot 4,370 Votes.
The republican administration, which
has been in control of Boston’s munic¬
ipal affairs for the past eleven months,
was overthrown at the polls Tuesday
after one of tho most spirited and hot¬
ly contested campaigns in the history
of local politic-. The republican
mayor, Hun. E. Curtis, was defeated
by 4,370 plurality, and all the branches
of the city government are democratic,
tho republicans losing control of the
board of alderrncn and school commis¬
sioner. Hon. Josiah Quincy, the sne¬
er ssful democratic mayoralty candi¬
date, showed greater strength than
even his own party expected and made
heavy gains in every section of the
city. Over 75,000 votes were cast,
the largest number ever recorded in an
election in Boston, and representing
over five-sixths of the total registra¬
tion,
8T. I.OUIS SELECTED
A* the PInco for the Next National
Republican Uonventiou.
The republican national oommitteo
mot at ten o'oloelt Tuesday morning in
the Arlington hotel in Washington.
Chairman Carter said ho was not ac¬
customed to notice the many “silly,
unfounded aud malicious stories” put
afloat at times with a purpose to arouse
prejudice aud exoito ill feeling. But
a reflection had been made on the
members of the national committee
and they had been placed before tho
country in an unenviable position.
“Under suoh circumstances," said
Mr. Carter emphatically, “I desire io
state in behalf of this committee that
nt no time, under no circumstances,
directly or indirectly, has any person
or persons urged that the good graces
of this committee should bo influenced
by any mercenary considerations what¬
ever.”
Tho preliminaries over, tho oratory
began, and General N. I*. Cbipmnu.of
California, was introduced by M. H.
DeYoung, to present tho Golden Gate's
claims. The action of this meeting,
General Chapman began, was to de¬
cide whether or not California was for¬
ever to he a political dependency.
Objections had been urged against
every city, Oue committeeman had
said to him that a San Francisco con¬
vention would be called a rich man's
convention, and wonld hurt the party,
hut to meet this a rate of $25 for the
round trip would be offered.
George A. Knight and M. H. Do-
Young, of California, olso presented
San Francisco's claims.
Samuel Allerton and Mayor Swift,
did the same for Chicago. St. Louis
was urged by Mayor Walbridge, ex-
Congressman Fraftls aud S. M. Iven-
nard, and then New York’s attractions
were set forth by General Dauiol But¬
terfield and Murat Halstead. Then
Pittsburg, tho last of tho big four, had
her case urged by Representative Dul-
ssell.
The speeeh-mnkiog closed by Repre¬
sentative Win. A. Storm seconding
Dalzell’s presentation of Pittsburg’s
claims and thou the committee ad¬
journed until 2 p. m. comiiutfhe bcoamo
At 3:30 p. m. the
engaged in a long discussion over a
resolution by Powell Claton, of Ar¬
kansas, to regulate tho selection of
delegates in the District of Columbia.
St. Louis was finally selected as the
place, and June lGtb, 1896, as the date
for holding the convention.
THE COTTON REPORT.
Issued by the U. S. Agricultural De¬
partment.
Following is cotton crop report is
sued by the agricultural department:
A crop equal to 07.3 per cent of las-
year’s, or 6,375,000 halos is indicated
in final returns from eouuty and stab
correspondents.
More complete reports, based on tin
commercial movement, will bo issnet
in 1896, the first of them probably i.
February. Mean farm price 7.51
cents, a gain of 65 per cent on las
year’s figures, 4.6 and of 9 per centoi
1893. Returns from correspondent,
are almost uniformly unfavorable at
to quantity, the weather having proven
generally disastrous.
The drought caused an unusnalh
early marketing throughout the coltoi
area, with an almost total sacrifico o
top crop. Tho lint, however, is gen
erally clean so that tho quality is es
pecially high. Many reports show
crops completely gathered aud mar
ketod.
WOMEN PREACHERS BARRED
The MissUslpI Methodist Conforenc.
Says Nay.
The question of women preacher

odist conference south, in session a 1

would break his neck if ho interfere!
with women preachers. ruled emphatieall
Bishop Duncan
that the Methodist church did not rei
oguize the right of women to preach
but adheres to tho doctrine of 8t. Pan
on the subject. Considerable feelin
has been aroused on tho question i
Mississippi and Tennessee, many lay
man taking issue with bishops.
NO PRAYING IN SCHOOLS.
Minnesota’s Attorney General Say-
the Practice Is Unconstitutional.
The attorney-general of Minnesota,
at the request of tho superintonden
of public instruction at 8t. Paul, ha-
rendered a decision in regard t•> tb-
opening of public schools with religt
Oils exercises. The Minnesota luw i
that no person shall he required to at¬
