The Week???s Hodge Podge or Crime end Cae. Baltics the Country Over ee Telegraphed hy Oar Correspondents, A terrible explosion occurred at one 6???clock Tkunday.mornlng, in the Southwest Virginia coal mines, Pocahontas. Tazewell county, Virginia. The explosion was caused by Are damp, and out o( the 1S5 men in the mine not one has come out alive. The explosion overturned houses 200 arid 300 feet away. Crowds at once flocked to the scene ol the disaster, but It was lound impossible to do anything, as no one could live an instant in the mines. Orders were given to seal the mines ns the only means pi lappressing the Are, which is still barnlng. The scene at the month ot the mines bailies description. The hillsides in every direction are strewn with debrie, blackened with coal dust, blown with terrific force from the entrances to the mines. Trees are torn to pieces and limbs scattered about. Particles of the wreck wen blown clear over the mountain ridge ???rr*ua^he. the ruiue, end picked up moro then liil. ,11^. ing ns what he had to say of the south. Said he: ???For s longtime wm. Lloyd Garrison. Wendell Phillips and I were the most hated men in the south. Now ail that is put. I eawnotrsceof it on this visit. New Orleans was the first real southern city I visited, and there I met a warm welcome. I found intelligence, kindness and hospitaliiy on every side. As I progressed through the south I continued to find these things wherever I went. The condition of the country is most hopeful in ev.ry ??e.ife. 1 saw evidences of this fact iu bavanuati, At lanta, Macon, Augusta. Charleston???every where. Macon and Augusta are tho two prettiest cities I ever saw. The people of the south are Just as much reconstructed and Just as patriotic as the people of the north. Everywhere among the southern people is a pervading love of the anion. They are as proud of this country as the north is. They are as ready to defend it and to co-operate in any great movement for ita advancement. They are as eager for education, and are building up a great educational system. They are honestly in favor of educating the negroes, and are doing it" Mr. Beecher elabora ted these points with his usnal force. He said that he was proud of the south, and that no man could tell what its future wonld bring forth. I never heard him speak more eloquently. It was a pleasure to see n man of his great mind lay aside all the prejudices of his life and honestly utter his convictions among people who had shared his mistaken views. Salt Lakr City, Utah, March 10.???On Fri day night a snow slide, hall a mile wide, at Otiar, swept away the works ol the new Emma mine, killing 6ns Liebccker,foreman; r asson, machinist, and brother, Samuel the coal dust was blown over the mountain and covers the earth on the opposite side to the depth ol half an inch, and blackened and rent Tho overcoat of one of the miners was picked np in a gulch nearly half a mile away. All ofllio laborers??? shanties in the vicinity were more or less wrecked, and those in the line of the mine approaches complete ly demolished. So terriflo was tho forco of the explosion that the windows in the house of a farmer two miles off wero shivered. A few minutes before the explosion occurred ?? train of coal cars had been backed intoone of the entrances of the mine, and the locomotive had moved a tale distance down the track. The cars were sent, many of them, down the track and others wrecked, and the denris thrown a great distance upon the mountain side, their heavy axles being twisted into ell sorts of shapes, and the wheels cracked and broken. The gulches in front ot the mines were filled with car wreckage. There are five entrances to the mines. The entrances are all filled with foul air, which renders the recovery of the dead bodies im possible. Every attempt to enter the mines , mis been attended with bad results, and in several instances the men have barely escap ed dying from the overpowering .fleets of gas. Tho farthest entry effected was by n Hungarian whose ton was buried in the mines. Ho was nearly crited by grief and could not be restrained, and penetrated to a considerable distance, hut eventually was forced to retire. He reported a number of bodies were mangled beyond recognition. A special meeting of the board ot directors of tho Southwest Virginia Improvement cam- pony, the owners of the mine at Pocahontas, was held at the ofllce of the company kero Resolutions were adopted authorizing the superintendent of the mines to take all the necessary means to alleviate theenfferlnga ???of tho wounded, and to furnish food and clothing to the families of the dead and in jured miners. The board alio considered the advisability of introducing electric lights in the mines to guard against a repetition of the disaster. An cfiicer of the company said that tie ncw-iamr re ports of tho explosion contained many misstatements. There was no connection in the first place between the company nnd the Norfolk and Western railroad company, ex cept that the latter acted os carrier for the former. The improvement company owns the town of Pocahontas and th* mines, and the railroad company constructed n branch line to the latter place for the purpose of transporting coal. The company never sus pected the presence of firedamp in the minrs There was bo odor, and the tueD were in the habit of going through tbo mines with naked letups. No cause can be assigned for the ex plosion. In future, however, covered lamps wilt be used. The following dispitch from the superin tendent .of the mine was retd: "We will make a desperate attempt to get in to- nieht. Have a temporary fan np, and indi cations are that the mine is on fire. Will know in n few boors, and il found to be the case will seal all the openings at once, and fill the mine with steam. Have five boilers placed ready, and the steam nips will be on hand by 11 p. m. No lives saved, and no one can live in the atmosphere inside. The railroad company is giving me every assistance. Have also physicians. Have wired the superintendent of Midlothian for advice and help. He is on the way in a special .with seventeen men. My men are nearly played out, chiefly from the efiects of after damp." Washington, March 10???In hia lecture on "A Circuit of the Continent,??? which Mr. Beecher delivered here last night, La frankly confessed the surrender of many misappre hensions relative to the condition, opinions and prejndicM of the southern people. Dar in,; his stay in the sooth be frequently spoke of the pleasant impressions which had been made on him both by his kind reception and by his observation of Die new southern civili- zi'iou. . . . .

AH the bodlaa except one have been recovered. This is the worst slide ever known in the Little Cottonwood district. Tho snow was piled forty feet high. Tho damage to tho mine is $15,000. Tke storms was too severe to admit of bringing tho bodies down. Of the killed several leave families. The Wasson brothers were from near Port Henry, N. Y. George Cullina, superintendent ol the mines came down yesterday, bringing the first news of the disaster. Poet Huron, Mioh., March It.???Ejrly in December of 1831 the body of William Phil lips, a cattle dealer of Atlerton, Iowa, was found in a field near Lexington, Mioh, He bad evidently been murdered, as the head waa crushed in nnd the pockets rifled, A watch and chain belonging to Phillips were found in the possession of James Dixon, a, helper ot the murdered man, and he was ar rested. Dixon committed suicide without revealing anything. lUvld Pickard was ar rested for horse-stealing last summer, and while in jail here admitted that lie knew something of the murder ol Phillips. He was sent to Jackson penitentiary .and while there confessed that ho, James Dixon, and Joseph A. Nealy, ox-marshal of Lexington, had committed tho crime securing about $1 COO Slid the watch and chain found fa Pixon???s possession. The murdered man WB?? on his way from Chicago, where hd bad sold a drovi C: cattle, and Dixon drove to the stalion to meet him on his return. On theirwny home they were waylaid by Nealey ami Pickard, the former of whom crept up behind Phillips in pursuit of and struck Um on tho head with a cam ???tfs farnir?????? ??? teed, fWi'ju UfUinirtUXtUT 'das held to bag filled with J . . IRE placed the body in the field where it wus found. Pickard, who is dying of con.ump- strong dislike against Henry, and about a year ago ordered him to discontinue his visits to his daughter. To all appearances Henrv obeyed him, and it seemed as if the love affair between the two young people was over, bnt about two weeks ego the captain dis covered a boy in the act of conveying a letter from Henry to his daughter, in which Henry said that he had everything ready to elope on the day following, and adding that tbo old man had no right to bother them in such a matter. The old farmer was furious and swore that he would kill Henry if he caught him. He even went to Henry???s bouse, but did not find him at home. He also learned that his daughter and Henry had held repeated clandestine meetings. He kept a strict watch on his daughter, besides enjoining her against any further dealings with Henry. He never per mitted her to go out without being accom panied by some other member of the family. Tbit morning Miss Chusterman obtained permission to come to town, but her father made her brother, ago fourteen, accompany her. On the street she passed Henry, but Aide wu luu HliLxl BUO puaaiu UCHIJi uut did not notice him. The brother told her father ot this wln-n they returned home, and the old man regarded it as a good aign, ami his vigilance relaxed somewhat. About an hour after her return she was missing, and upon the captain being Informed of the matter, he Instantly guessed the cause. He made dilligent inquiries and .Aon found that his daughter and Henry were last seen driving along the road towards Lebanon. Summoning two of his neighbors named Israel Mayer and Isaac Swope, be hitched np in a lignt spring wagon and started out in pursuit. He overtook the fugitives abont ten miles from here, driving along rather leisurely. Upon Captain C???hus- ternian???s calling out.io the eloping pair tostop, Henry laughed defiantly andlushed liis horse into a gallop. The faster horsesoM???liustermnn won the race, nnd driving alongside, the cap tain jumped out, and grabbing (he bridle of Henry???s horse, brought him to a sudden stop, C???sptnln Chusterman then broke oat Into a tirade of abuse against Henry, when the latter sprang out anastruck Chusterman in the face. Both men grappled nnd fell to tho ground, Henry on top. The latter broke away and made a move as tf to enter tho carriage, when Chus terman fired, the ball grazing Henry???s fore head, inflicting a silent wound. Before he could lire again Henry had drawn a pistol and fired, the bill striking Chusterman in tho right leg and his pistol tell to the ground. Henyy then moved forward again when Swope and Moyer, who had remalnod spectators, sprang forward. Moyer discharged a shot at Henry which lodged in his left arm. Henry returned the fire and a ball from bis pistol lodged in Moyer's left breast near the hoart and another in the right shoulder. 8wope turned to run, being unarmed, when Henry fired striking him in the back, and upon Swope's running a few paces after the shot Henry fired again, this time striking him in the bead. Swope fell to the ground. Daring the afiray Miss Chusterman had left the carriage and was kneeling by the side of her father. When Swope fell Henry asked her to get into the carriage nnd go on, but slio vehemently refused, and Henry thengotlnto the carriage and drove toward Lebanon. TU? shots and cries br"??????ht a number of farmers to UnfChuslcfaiAUaullila wounded friends were placed in his wagon and driven home, while another party went - ' asm soon after leaving Sonba. The great body of the- rebels charged the leading square, spearing many of the British sailors who were insldo. The square immediately closed up and the rebels were/spnlsed with great slaughter. The ad vance was again resumed when immense borders rushed upon the British from both sides. A terrible struggle ensued. The Arabs fought with the greatest pluck and bravery, but nearly ail were killeu. The second brig ade met with obstinate resistance and waa at one time repulsed. The Gatling and Gar- diuer guns felt into the hands of tho rebels and were only recovered after a severe fight, when the British likewise gained possession of the rebot camp. A dispatch from Suaklfu to Renter's tele gram company saya that tho enemy was enabled tp penetrate the second square and capture the gnns by the movemen a of the Black Watch regimen', which advanced impetuously ana broke reaks. A number of the rebels still hover around the camp, and tiro when cattle are being watered. The unlive guides ladled when the square was broken. Further fight ing is improbahle. The battle raged two and a half hours. The rebel loss is estimated at 4,000 killed, and 1,000 wounded. London, March 14,???The rebels, under cover of smoke, crept close up to the British lines and dashed against the marines and tho Sixty-tlth aud the Black Watch regiments, throwing themselves upon tho bayonets of the British, and giving and receiving fearful wounds. Great confusion ensued. The Sixty-fifth began to retreat, crowding upon the marines, when all became inextricably mixed. General Graham and his stall' did their utmost to rally the men, retreating 800 yards to enable them to reform. Assistance from the other brigade prevented a serious disaster. There were many narrow escapea among the ofllcers. The horse of General Butler waksbot from under him. The pluck shown by ft' ??? , he rebels is unexampled. The rebels entered the second square upon their bauds and knees beneath tne muzzle of tho gatliug gnn. They th.eai-oinmenced slashing with their weapons, doing terrible execution. The Bril ish were no match for the rebels at close quarters. The British will rotnrn to Suakun to-day. Farther details of the des perate battle of yesterday between General Graham???s forces and the rebels near the Sawsi wells continue to arrive. During the confusion which ensued when the Arabs made their wild rush upon the British lines and caused them to retreat, the newspaper reporters add <-tber non-combatants took part In the fray, end used their revolvers freely ami with deadly effect against the enemy. After the battle Osman???s camp and three villages we(p burned. _ Among^ tropnics Os tion, claims he was detected in his lost crime through the agency of Nealey, and takes this means of getting rovenge.

St. Louis, March 12.???Last night a fire broke ont In a small shop iu East St. Lonis, spread with great rapidity, and in A few min utes enveloped the whole row. From the buildings the fire spread-to the transfer com pany???s stables. An elevator with a capacity of one-half million bushels was destoyed. It contained between 200 000 and 300,000 bush els of corn, about 50,000 oats, 10,000 of wheat. The freight otlice of the Chicago and Alton railroad, and a large number of employes loaded cars were burned. A number of cars in the Ohio and Mississippi yards were alio burned. The estimated loss of the elevator building is $150,000 to $200,000, grain $20,000, cats ana freight $15,000. The damage to the freight yards, etc., $49,000 to $50,000, frame building, reps' _ repair shops, eto, $10,000. Philadelphia, March 13 ???Dr. K. P. 8trlt- mutter slapped his hand on a desk in the coroner???s o&be, saying: "I'll dissect that body if I have to steal it frori ftom the grave.??? He re ferred to the body of little Peter-Mohr, who died on Sunday night. Mobr bad been known for years among the neighbors as the "blue child." He had liyed for twelve years with an imperfect heart escalation, and bis medical men. His disesse had the effect ol rendering the skin blue. The doctor had de voted much of his attention to the boy and claims to have extracted a promise from bis parents to make a post-mortem examination of the boy's body. Last summer the little fellow overheard a conversation between two doctors on the subject of dissection, and he was imbued with a dread of death. He seemed to know that he could not live long, nnd often pleaded with his mother to see that bis body was kept from the doctors. On Sunday night be asked to sleep with his mother. During the night he called for a drink of water, and soon after was attacked by a alight hemorrhage of the lungs. "Mam- ms,??? he said, presently raising himself on his elbow, ???don???t let them cut mo open.?????? The effort was too much for bis little strength and he sank back on the pillow dead. The child's death is thought to have re sulted from hemorrhage of the lungs and not from cyanosis. When Dr. Btritmatter nsked for the body of the child he was refused. He then applied to the coroner, who also refused to allow the body to be mutilated. Scranton, Penn., Match 13.???Andrew J.

The Chinese loss was heavy. London, March 13.???A dispatch from Sua. kim states that the rebels opened fire on Gen eral Graham's forces at one o???clock this morn ing. The British forces were at once formed to repel the charge, but no attack came. The men were thereupon ordered to lie down again. Tbe fire of the rebels continued all night, but tbe British did not reply. An officer and two men were wounded, one man killed. Tbe fighting began atdaybreak. Tbe Infantry and artillery completely routed the enemy from their pita and trenches. The battle bad not lasted more than bait an hour when tbe victory of tbe British was made certain. Telegraphic dispatches have been received from General Graham dated Osman Digma's camp, March 13th, 11:40 a.m., in which he ssya the camp of- tbe enemy has been taken after hard fighting since 8 o???clock this morning. Over seventy of the British were killed and wounded. Later dispatches says the bivouac last night was exceedingly unpleasant. The Arabs kept np a persistent fnallade till just before day break. The bright moonlight rendered ob jects distinctly visible at a long distance bnt S levanted the enemy from attempting a aud- in onset. The rebels directed tbeir tire especially towards the hos pital wagons, which were conspicuous in I he moonlight. The surgeons and General Graham???s staff ofilcers had many narrow es capes. At six o'clock, sunrise, a Gardiner gun and a nine-pounder were turned against the rebels, who were within 1,300 yards of the British position, and afforded a most ex cellent target.
