S., Nov. 18—At 11:30 last night ‘Mr. Gilpin, Government Inspector of the mines and local managers, with a gang of men, went down the Ford shaft and made » short explora- tion. They found the atmosphere littleclearer than.doring the day, and the party wereenabled to penetrate further along the main railway to the south. They tound the bodies of three men and a pumber of dead horses. Twoof the bodics they were able to take with them to the surface, ‘Dut the third was go tightly jammed intoa heap of fallen timber and rubbish thatan attempt to extricate it would only be incurring danger uselesly, as the rubbish would certainly fall upon any one touching it. party tocarry their explorations very far; but inone of the boards or starts from the main railway. : $ A PAINT SMELL OF SMOKE and slightly warmer atmosphere could be de- tected, which showed that it was not improbable ‘that fire still remained io the mine. When the ‘party came to the surface.a crowd had cullected ‘to hear the latest news. The two dead bodies were carried into a temporary dead-house. One vias identitied as that of McGill Wray, but the ‘other was so charred and disfigured as to be un- recognizable. STATEMENT OF A SURVIVOR. The miner who escaped unharmed says: In trying to get to the shuft he stumbled across the prostrate form of an old man. He stopped, and calling some others running by to his assist- ance, got him into the cage to go to the surface, and then looked about. He founda little boy, ‘apparently dead. Hoe was only insensible, and, he got the little fellow and the old mun to the surface, and then found he had rescued his own son and bis poor old father. A brother was still Delow. In the morning James Hudson, Greener, and two or three other picked men went down into the shaft. The party were able to go further into the galleries than the previous night, as the choke damp was clearing away. The man who the night before thought he detected signs of fireagain investigated the same Pisces and going further into the passage with Grbtener soon found unmistakable indicanon that HE WAS RIGHT. _ A little further on the brick stopping closing another unused passage was found, and here dense black smoke was coming out with a roar like escaping steam. Two men at once ran back to the rest ot the party, and as all were now in the greatest danger, rapidly got to the pit bot- tom and ascended to the surface. The local manager, Government Inspector, and several of tne overmen and old miners were called to a meeting in the Company’s office, and the plan of,the mine was spread out on a table, the location of the fire fixed, as well as the pos- sible and best means of action discussed. It was determined to FLOOD A PORTION OF THE MINE where the fire seemed to procecli from, as, if prompt means were not taken, further explo- alons were not unlikely any moment, with con- Bequences which might be serious on the sur- face. : All night the ceaseless tapping of small ham- mers were beard in one of the carpenter-shops, and on returning from the mouth of the shaft the spectacle was one which is not often seen. The place had been converted into an under- taker’s shop. Coffins were being made by scores, that no delay might be occasioned. The num- Der lost might be as high as fifty. ‘The dangerous state of the mine will render ‘the recovery of the bodies impossible for many ays, perhaps weeks.

The Pucifie express, which left Detroit Inst night about 10 o'clock, and wus about three minutes behind time, on leaving the Statinn immediately east of this town, ran into the rear end of a freight-train, which was Standing on the main line. The engincer of the Passenger-train,while turning the curve just east of here, could not see the semaphore, as was the custom and the rule. He immediately thought something was wrong, and applied the air-brakes. The momentum of his train was considerably lexsened, but not sufficient to escape the collision. The locomotive rushed into the empty caboose of the freight trula, turned it over on its side, and did the same‘fér the two box-curs immediately preceding it.

Enderis, of Chicago, was suffocated almost to death by gas atthe St. Charles Hotel in this city last night, having, it is believed, blown out tho gas jet in- stead of turning it olf. He was found fn bis room this forenoon at the point of death, and .three physicians have been laboring with him ever since.’ To-nigtit he has become: partially conscious, and is considered out of danger. He is not yet able to muke a clour statement as to the munner in whic! he put out tho guslight, but as the jet was turned on at fui! heud when the room was entered by the servants it is believed that he must have blown it out. He muy, however, have accidentally turned it on aguio after put- og he biae cet in the proper manner. Mr. Endenis owns a bookstore in Chicago, was form- erly Swiss Consul, and Is well utd favoravly known in business circles here. He hus had a very narrow ese:ipe from death. ‘The physicians sag thathe would not bave lived another buur bud bis condition nut been discovered when it was. THE COURTS. DIVISION OF BUSINESS. The Judyes and Judgea-clect of the Superior Court met yesterday afternoon in Judge Gary's room todiseuss the division of business, etc. They agreed tc draw lots as to who should bo Chancery Judge, and Judge Gardner drew tho winnmg number, By the same mode it was de- elded that Judge Hawes should xo to the Crim- inal Court for the present. Judge Gardner is to take Judge Tuley's old room, next to Judge Bur- num's, and one of the other Judges takes Judge Gary's: room while he is away, and the remain- ing onedomesticates himself in the Council Cham- ber. After the meeting was through the Judges allwent overto the new Court-House, where they met. the five Judgea of the Circuit Court, Mr. Egan, the architect, and Sexton, the contractor, and also Judye McAllister, or we Appellate Court, ‘The party. then strolled back und forth through the spacious court-rooms, calivening the time with legal anecdotes and judiciul puns aud jokes. Of course the story, time-honored und honry, of the Jude who ‘drank a sciro fucius out of a black bottle to revive bis judgment, was trotted out, a8 weil. as several others less dignitied by age. Then there was a-tender fear expressed lest Judge Gary should get su far up that the defendants could not tind him on de- fault day. When it was found that there was no room for the Appellate Court on the fourth tlour it. was suggested that, as they wero a bigher court by law, ther should hold ‘thoir ses- sions in the attic, while the Supreme Court, be- ing, of course, above all, could be accommodated on the roof. Several jokes were also indulged in at the formidable hurricanes that might rage when forensic winds inside were pitted against 2 cold northeaster from the out- side. After they bad thus blown the froth from their beer, the tw. judicial minds proceeded ‘take 2 more suber view of the niatter. Mr. Egao drew up some sketches of the pluns of tha rooms, and it was seen that by the orzinal plans, which were made before the additional Judges were thought of or the Appellate Court in ex- istence, four rooms somewhut smailer than tho rest had been setoff on the fourth toor for chancery rooms, and one for a common-law Judge. ‘On the third wero five large rooms for common-law Judges and jury trials, and on the second fioor two more, ‘hese large rvuoms are all about sixty by thirty-nme feet in size, and twenty-two or twenty-three feet high, and the chancery — rooms are about 38 by 31 feet. The rooms were then all numbered on the impromptu planus, and cor- responding silps of paper were prepared, each numbered. It was agreed thut the slips should be placed in a hat, and each Judge should take the room corresponding to the number he had drawn. Mr. Egan was asked to pass the bat around to let che Judges dra’ t he declined. His answer was characteristi Ie Ihave any- thing to do with it somebody will say therewas a job init.” .As a dernier ressort. a reporter was pitched on. Judgo Hoyers drew No. 10, which cailed for the best room in the building. the southwest corner room on the third tloor. Judge Moran drew the northwest one on thesame flour, Judge Smith the southeast one, and Judge Will- iamson the northeast one, both on the third floor, Judge McAllister was not present at the miment, but a number was saved for bin, which entitle] him to the only jury room on the fourtn floor, the one in the northwest-ecor- nor, Judge Gary got the southeast room onthe second floor, and Judge Anthony the northeast room, same tluor. Tbe four chuncery rooms were then dispused of in the same way, giving Judge Gurdner the southeast room on the fourth tloor, Judge Jumeson the next, Judze Tuley next, and Judge Barnum the northeast room. By request of Judge Jameson, Judge Gardner exchanged rooms with him, thus giving the former the lurge suutheast room. The ar- chitect then invited ench of the Judges tu send him any suggestions he might wish to give us to furnisbing the private rooms, locutions of desks, lights, ete.. promising that they should be faith- fully carried out, The overhanging roof of the east portico makes Judge Hawes’ ruom a little less desirable than the others, but the private room adjoining is much the best, The architect, however. has some special designs on that room in the way of fittings, etc, and promises that it will be as attractive as any of the othors. THE GREENEBAUMS’ COMPROMISE. ‘A petitition was filed Saturday by the Receiver in the case of the German National Bank for the purpose of compromising certain claims against Henry, Elias, and David S. Greenebaum. The Receiver says he obtained judgment against Henry Greenebaum for $4.992.90, on a composi- tion note for $29,259.68, on an open indebtedness, and for $7,221.96 on a stock assessment. Also, a judgement for $7,453 against Elias Greenebuum, and another for $27,860.94 against Henry, Elins, and David S.Greenebaum. The total claims are $76,095.46. Henry and David S. are execudion- proof, and nothing can be ubtained from Elias ‘unless a conveyance by him to his wife of all his property can be set uside. A creditor's bill has been tilled tor :be tion promises to be lone On tne othor hand, the Greenebaums offer to settle ali the above claims by the bank against them for $22,000, .of which $5,000 is to be in cush and the rest in three. six, and nine months, with good security. The Cou- troller and Recefver both think this is a fyir offer. Judge Biodvett made a rule on all par- ties interested to show cause by Nov. 20 why the cumpromise shou!d not be accepted. and tedious.

Lowpon, Nov. 13.—Since Mr.Gladstone's Guild- ball speech the Lrish situation haa considerably Phat speech surprised alike friends and foes. Mr. Gladstone, declaring with relterated emphusis that order — must prétede reform, threw over not only cer- tain colleagues in the Cubinct representing ® powerful radical section of the party, but threw over himself. Events had converted him. Mr. Gludstoue's politien! goud sense and sure perception of English opiuions tinal'y overruled all these mistaken appeals. If anything was wanting to complete. his conversion, the reception of Lord Selbourne’s speech at Guilibult supplied it. There was never wit- nessed in any assemblage a more striking scene than when the whole compuny, a thousand -| stroug, took up Lord Selvourne’s words afirming that the maintenance ot law wns a nocessary condition of Iberty. Lord Selbourne appeared to offer that as an abstract proposition, but the guests pointed, the meuning by cries of “Ireland” ond general cheers, The daterminution of the Government to give practical effect to the new policy by the reltef of Boycott contirmed and completed the conviction that sedition, conspiracy, and outrage could no longer be practiced with impunity. The Land-Leaguers heid auxious consulta- tions. The Ritbonmen suspended operations. The maiming of cattle, the torturing of rent- paying tenants, and the shooting of ugents have suddenly ceased. Revoluvionary Ireland, from Parnell downward, beld its breath, waiting to sve whether the Government wus really in eur- nest,—whether adequate military protection to hurassed citizens wus reully iutended. ‘To-day's news indicates the complete success of THE BOYCOTT EXPEDITION, the Mayo agitators subsiding in the presence of the military, and contenting themselves with threats to asgasinute Boycott when the soldiers -retire. In the meantime the Cabinet is understood to be convinced that the existing powers four the employ- ment of troops by the constabulary aro sufficient to suppress disorder. The Council yesterday, therefore, was uble to direct its at- tention to adequate measures of land reform, boping that the condition of Ireland wil! justify the Ministers in presenting such measures to Parliament at the bogloning of the session, now expected in Junuary. The ‘Tories await the scheme, observing almost com- plete silence, and obviously hoping that the more conservative section of the Liberals, the old Whigs, will then renounce alleginnce rather than support. the Dill. But the Ministers are confident that they will unite the whole party in the Commons, and compel the ultimate assent of the Lords, It is mot bélieved that an extra session will be necessary for cuercive legislation, unless events take a new turn. RUMORED CABINET DISSENSIONS. Political circles’ to-day are full of rumors. more or less circumstuntial, to the effect that serious dissensions exist in tho Ministry con- corning the policy to be pursued in Irish matters. There is nothing to uutenticute the report positively that the resignauons of Lord Selbourne, Lord High Chancelior, and of the Earl of Cork and Orrery, Master of the Buckhounds, are likely to be tendered soon, ff, indecd, they have not already been placed in Mr. Gladstone's hands, these officials bemg in favor of more vig- orous measures for the restoration of order in Ireland. ‘THE SUSPENSION OF THE HABEAS CORPUS act in Ireland is still demanded by a large and influential section of the Liberal party on the ground that no course of ac- tion less radical will prove effectual tothe end desired. The spectacle of a small army of en with three pieces of artillery going to break the blockade of a land agent's dwelling (Mr. Boycott’s) is universally regarded as a scandul to the whole nation. GROWING WORSE AND Worse. Matters become worse {0 the sister island every day, uo individual landlord being now ex- empt from the stern warfare declared on the whole langlurd class by the Land League. Even Lord Kenmare, though a Roman Catholic, a resident landlord, and one of the few supporters in the House of Lurds last session of the Compensation for Disturbances bill, has recently reccived threatening letters, in spite of which, however, he returned yester- duy to his seat of Killarney House. OOURSE OF THE MINISTRY. So farasthose not in the confidence of the Ministers can judge, the course of events in Ire- land is likely to be about as follows: If the Boy- cott relief expedition accomplishes {ts ob- ject without bloodshed, the Governmont will not ask a suspension of the Habéas Corpus act, but wilisummon Parliament 2 month ear- Wer than usual—namely; about the first week in January, and bring down a new and sweeping Irish !and measure. Should this be rejected, as it very probably would be, at least by the House of Lords, Mr. Gladstone wilt probubly dissolve Parliament and appval to the country, not a day being lost in bringing the wholgquestion tow practicalissue. - THE BOYCOTT Cagz..* The special correspondent of the Freeman gives the popular version of the case of Capt, Boycott. He states that Capt. Boycott is brave to 2 fault, but that be makes eccentric rules. In his dealings with his taborers he is punctitious to a harsh and Quixotic degree. His laborers state that instead of summoning them he used to fine them bimself one penny a fowl for every hen that trespassed on his zrass or farm; that a man was fined !f he left aspadeor a shovel in the wrong place, fined if he lefta gate open. fined If ho were two minutes behind the ring of the bell. The result was that a man employed at ninb sbillings a week sometimes found himself only entitled to seven shillings after his week's Ia- bors, His dogmatic aud duminceriag tone with the people appears .to have been ANOTHER GREAT CAUSE of the enmity against him. He treated his cat- tle better than he treated the Inborers. One tenant gays that he ‘never hud anything buta curse for them. A certain umount of gra- tultous “duty work” was done upon his :farm by the -tenants for some time after his appointment as agent. His unpopularity Ied to a refusal on their part to continue the duty work any longer. The tevants suspect, but of cuurse it can be only suspicion, that this had something to do with what they conceived to be his steady hostility to their interests with the landlord. CERTAIN CURIOUS NEGOTIATIONS are known to bave been carried on during the lust two days between the Lord Licutenant, Lord Cowper, and the agents of the indicted members of the Land League. The pur- port of these -pegotintions is believed to relate to a proposition made by the Lord Lieutenant on the. instigation of the law offcers of the Crown for «# practical abandon- ment of the prosecutionsin consideration of Mr. Parnell and his coadjutors agrecing to advise their followers to abstain from further hos- tile measures, and to keep peace until after the assembling ot Parllament, and the. developing of the reilef measures which are to be proposed by the Government. It is rumored in the Custle that these negotiations are likely to be suovesaful. ‘The details of THE ASSASINATION OF MR. WHEELER near Limerick a few days ago have been re- celved here. While crossing a field accom- panied by a Mr. Moore, sluzs were fired at nim from a double-barreled gua. He was struck in the mouth, and three of his teeth from the upperand two from the lower jaw were knocked out. The victim groaned and fell, but afterward attempted to rise. The assusin, who had fol- lowed him, then ebot him again. Moore heard two more shots and fled. He informed the mili- tury at Oola Barracks. The police soon arrived at the scene of the tragedy. Wheeler's body wasina bloody pool, and still warm. His hands wére clutching the earth. There were eleven wounds inhis skull. Fifty pollcemen have searched the district for the assagin, but no arrest bas yet been made. Wheeler bad taken a farm from which the tenant had been evicted. His father ig now in Limerick.

HANLAN AND TRICKETT. GREAT INTEREST IN THEIR MATCH IN LONDON i SPORTING CIRCLES. Specuit Cute, Losvon, Nov. 13.—The match between Hantan and Trickett creates great Interest in London betting clubs, more, indeed, s0 far than at the riverside. Both menare well,and the adber- ents of each ure confident. Haalan throughout lis training bas dove much hard work. He looks healthy und weil, The same cannot be iuid of Trickett, who wears a ‘haggard expres- sion, suggestive of being overworked. Still, he appears cheerful enough when in the boat. When Hanlan arrived in this country goud odds would have been bet upon bis wiuning. A week ago his friends placed $1200 to 3800 onhim. Since thisthe bulk of money has been for'Trickett, and on Friday last ‘Trickett was really the favorit. The people will always fol- low the money, und this morning at the clubs six to tive, and in some places six to four, were offered upon the Australian. A reaction, however, set in later In the day. Tho nuws spread that 43,000 bad arrived from ‘foronty for Hanlan,’ and this put a different cumplerion upon the market. Among other wugers £500 even wera booked on behalf of the Canudiun, and the ad- mirers of Trickett asked for odds before the breaking up of the Club, the iatest betting boing six to five on Hunan. Opinions on the river side vary as much’as public opinion varies, The start will take place ut Putoey shortly after 12 on Mondiy, The Newcustle people are yolng toa man for Hanlan. Some of them say he is a better man‘tnun when he beat Elliott. Mr. Ward thinks that tho reason for the betting changing from odds on Hanlan to odds against him during the week was because the Australlaps’ brought so much money with them,—not lesg than £100,000 it Is said. They were laying 10t0'9 on ‘Trickett this morning. Hanlan wus dut before noon for a short spin to try his new boat—built at Manchester,—which will b$ usod in the race If the water is very rough. The probability {s, however, that he will use the white-cedar boat built by Warren, of Toronto. Trickett will use the bout built for him at Newcastle. Han- lan’s boats are in the custody of Mr. Green, une of the Queey’s watermen, Trickett and Laycock started this morning trom a moored craft, as they would in g race, and rowed a racing pace from Putney to some distance aboye Hammersmith. Bell's Life and the Sporting Life predict success for Hanlan, both papers declar- ing that in respect of form he is clearly Trick- ett’ssuperior, but adding that the contest will be a severe one.

GREAT BRITAIN, BEACONSFIELD'S NEW NOVEL. ‘Special Cable, Lonpox, Nov. 13.—Beuconsfield’s new novel “Endymion” will be published towards the end of this month. It bas been generully reported and believed that Mr. Gladstone was to figure largely in its pages, and possibly to be mentioned in an uncomplimentary fasbion as Prof. Goldwin Smith wus in “Lothair,” but thore is the very best authority for saying that this isnot the case. There will, however, be Several pungent sketches of well-known men and women of the day. The Longmans have paid the immense sum of £10,000 for the manuscript.

The St. Louis Gatherins—Interesting Reports—Ministerial Responsibility— Missionary Work. Sr. Lovis, Nov. 13.—At the morning session of the Congregation! Council Dr. B. Brown read 2 lengthy stutement concerning the Congrega- tional Union, whose chief object is to burid churches in the West and South. He gave uu interesting account of what bas been done dur- ing the past three es in Dakota, Colorato, Nevada, Kunsas, Minnesota, Texas, and other States and ‘Territories. During the twenty- seven yeury of the existence of the Society it had erected 1.Juy churches, ull of waich are free from debt. No bouse is dedicated until it is paid for, and tne Suciety then tkes a first mort- gage on It for all it is worth, so that it cannot get In debt in the future. The Suciety bas had & working capital the pusc threv years of #43.0, aud is in a prusperous condition. Dr. Tarbox, of Massachusetts, read a state- ment regerd:ng the American College and Edu- canunal Sodiety. Taree hundred young men, now receiving assistance, are distributed among the thirty-seven colleges and universities. In the pust three years the Society paid $62,u for educational work. The churches, be said, do not seem to appreclute.the importunce of the work, fig not one in tenof them contributes uny- thing to it. The efforts of the Society in bebalf of the colloges bad been more successful during the pust three years. Carlton Colleve bud been wided $25,000; Colorado College, $23,00u; Doan College, $25,000; Drury College.’ $30,000;_Towa College, $43,0;_ Ripon College. $60.00; Pae:tic College, $1,800: Washburn College, $3,000; total, $25,0,—ull ot which bad come from the East. A lurge nmouut, of this money bad been given® by Sirs. Stone, a most bencvolent lady of Massa- chusetts, who had also contributed freely fur the educution of deserving young men. ‘fhe Hon. A. U. Barstow resigued bis member- sbip of the Indiun Committee. Cummittees were named on memorials and other subjects. aud the Nominating Committee Instructed to appoint delegates to France and England, und to various bodies in this und other countries. ‘The discussion on ministerial responsibility and standing was resumed. Dr. Quirt,Se: retary of the Council, offered a resutution as 2 suustitute, that a pro renota Council should be the ultimate resort in cases of ministerial standing. In other respects the substitute did not differ materially the majority report. After a long debate this substitute was adopted. and all resolutions on the subject or dered printed. Rev. Dr. Strieoy, of the American Missionary Society, made a stutement‘of the work accom- plished by that Society. ‘The Society was out of debt, and bad received a gift of $150.00 from Mrs. Stone. of Massachusetts. The whole amount received by the Society in the pust three yeurs was $1,060,000. This sum had been used in es- tublishing churches and organizing schools. A great work bud been done in the South. Schools of the highergrade bad beenestablished in eignt Southern States, with 200 teachers and over 8.000 colored pupils.’ He spoke especially of the freedmen, und bis conclusion was that the only wuy to make rhem safe members of society was to educate them, ‘The itev. Dr. Mears addressed the Cduncil on bebulf of the Publication Society, and urged that {tbe better supplied with the means to do its work, The Rev. Dr. Storrsspoke regarding the Home Missionary Society. He urged that teachers as well ug preachers be commissioned, especiully in Jesuit und Mormon vections of the country, where the work to be successful must be carriod on amung children. He bad never seen such great success in Sunday-sohool work as during the past three years. He spoke of the wonder- ful growth of the Far Weat. In Dakota there were already twenty-two Conwregational churches, und in nine years with proper encour- agement be believed there would be2uJ. In Colo- rado twelve churches bed been added tne luat year, and in Utub, Reh fara and Idaho there were similar great religious tields requiring only development. ‘The Rev, Dr. Noble, of Chicngo, read x paper on “The New West," in which he denounced Mormonisia in very strong terms. He alluded to Utub as made by that faith _a Inboratory of filth, craft, and cruel wrong. Forthree decades, he anid, Congress and the Courts bad done next to nothing to check ur put down the, monstrous evil. From Mormonism the, Doctor drifted to the Jesuitism of New Mexico. and the Roman Catholic Church was charged with nearly all the crimes in the culendur, and held responsible tor ull the lawlesness and disorder in the Territories where Mormonism had not spread. To meet what he considered to be the gren: evils, he said the Government must send the best men to the frontier for its officials. Preachers and teachers must be sent, especially the latter, as they ex- cited less prejudice than the preachers. : ‘The evening session was occupied in addresses by several gentlemen of 2 general and congrut- ulatory character, and no business of intpor- ance was transac! << ELECTRIC LIGHT.

The friends of Gory. Smith now make the unqualified statement that he Is fn the race, and it is quite likely that when the Legislature conrenes he will be found to hold the balance of power between Keyes and Sawyer. Edward T. Sanderson, of this city, who is regarded us about the strongest politician in the State. is working hard for Sawyer, but the announcement is made on pretty good authority that Senator Carpenter hus cast his induence in favor of Keyes.

This fs denied. The man whom the pulice have down for it Is Edward Powers, whose photograph Is No, 22, Volume H. of the Rogues’ Album, at Central Station. And, inasmuch as Powers has quit bis usual haunts since that futai Suaday, there issome shadow of truthfulness in the rumor. It is not detinitiy known who was his companion. The person who would most closely tally with thedescription 4s John Carroll, who was urrested with Powers on the 2ist of last June by Olticer Keefe, of the West Madison Street Station, upon a charge of rob- bery. It was agreed on ali aides that Powers’ name should not appear until he was arrested, as forewarning him through the press would forearm bim, but such fs discipline nowadays on the police force that a secret cannot be kept for a.single hour. The police are willing enough to believe that any one of the following might have ~ been Powers’ accomplice: Thomas Clark, Peter Mallory, John Murray. and Carroll. But this end of it is all specutution, und great ‘as the proBability is that the murderers will never be convicted, the possibility of connecting either one of the xbuove with the tragedy is grenter.
