A Snowslide Buries a Boarding House and Kills 8ix Men, t, Col., December 24. D The Tri- By special messonger to Montrose, Col., naws has just been received in Ouray of a horrible accident at Virginius mine, which oceurred last Friday, Owing to the stormy weather, which has been more severe than known for years, the mess- enger could not reach Ouray sooner, though only seven miles. The Virginius mine is owned by the Caroline Mining company, of Boston, employs 35 mon, and situated above the timber line at the foot of Sueflles raage. Friday afternoon & huge mass of snow started from the top of the range, turned into an avalanche as it descended, striking the building used as a boarding house where eleven men were resting and swept it completely away, crushing and burying the men fif- teen and twenty foet under snow, amongst rocks und timber. Fortunately the aya- lanche missed the engine house. After the mnoise and confusion, other miners were hoisted from the shaft and_started to search for their comrades. Five were taken out -alive, but badly crushed and may die. The other six were found dead. Their names are Thomas Marvan, James Fitzgerald, Robert Frazer, \V. H. Carmichael, Chas. Armstrong and W. H. Sheidler. Most of them leave families. Reports received from mountain towns state there has been an unusual suow fall, being three to four feet deep on the level. The warm weather of the past few days has caused snow_slides, which are common occurrences late in the spring, but not looked for at this season of the yedr, which will make it all the mors (I';m\n» trous. Other accounts of equal severity may be lookoed for as soon as measengers can make their way from the interior stations. v —— PORTER SINCHED, Judge Van Vorse, of the Supremic Court, Orders Porter to Account for $3,400,000 Railroad Stock. New Youk, December 24.—Judge Van Vorse, of the supreme court, has given his decision in the suit of Harvoy Ken nedy against Henry H. Porter, Pr dent of the Minneapolis & Omaha rail- way, Rosswell P.

Several Railroad Acoidents, in Whick Many Are Killed and Othorwise Injured. Other Happenings of Sources in All Parts of Country. Difforent the O'DONNELL'S CITIZ) The president to.day transmitted to the house the report of the secretary of state, with a voluminous correspondonce between Septémber 24 to December 15, in response to a resolution passed the 19th, asking for the papers on file in the case of Patrick O'Donnell, the slayer of Carey. A number of letters passed be- tween the secretary of state and the American legation in Great Britain, the substance of this is that there is a doubt about O'Donnell's identity; that under ordinary circumstances there is no need for special counsel for American citizens on trial in Great Britain, where methods of scouring justice is practically tho same as in America; that to undertake such a defense for all American citizens abroad would involve legation im. many matters outside of its ortlinarily accepted duties; that the conclusion reached was tho naturalization papers prescribed by O'Donnell was either granted some other person of ‘the same name, or fraudulently obtained, that subsequently he was impressed with the apparent truth of O'Donnell’s claime, but the writer could give no authoritative statement on the subjeoct. s tho substance of-the communication from the legation, most of which was written by Happin, first uecretlli“of the legation, in absence of Minister Lowell, Secretary Frelinghuysen directed Minister Lowell to ascertain whether O Donnell was a citizen of the United States, and if so, to do whatever necessary to secure the proper defense. Tho remainder of the correspondence relates to counsel from this country, and resolutions passed at Chicago to be transmitted by Hon. John T. Finerty, calling on the governor to see to O'Donnell’s defense. O'Donnell returned to Ireland when 12 years old and came back to the United States in 1861, when he must have been between 23 or 26 years old. So between the extreme dates assigned by himself, the three years next preceding his major- ity, would appear to have been spent in Ireland. The act of naturalization being, however, a judicial decision, it can only be impeached according to the rule established by the Spanish-Amer- company. Porter was to act as mana- ger, and at the dissolution of partner- ship each co-partner was to pay or re- ceive a reliable rtion, The capital ance, Singleton, Mitchell, Halsel, ‘Winans chairman of the committee on elec- ! member of any other ] y I Daglor _that committee, or givenl |yo ition he regarded in keep- ing with his experience and long service d Pénsions—Matson, Ltevre Winans was $100,000, wriw was invested in the urchase of 10, OO(L shares of ~,‘,,,\‘ UG @y =Uv, VU, from m; ;fl.\gx“ in favor of the members ) o i Sy can commission, by showing want of jurisdiction on the part of granting by the court, or draud practiced by the applicant on the court, or that naturalization was a viola- tion of the treaty stipulation.

It is asserted he is a citizen, first by the natu- ralization of his father, Michael, while he, the son, Pajrick, was yet a minor; second by reasons of his service in the army of the United States late civil war, and third by naturalization as one who resides in the United States. Three years next prior to his coming ot age and con- inuously thereafter, up to the making application for citizenship, claims to citizenship through his father's acts rests on his own statements, No proof is found or fur: nished, and it is not confirmed by other members of the family that his father was ever naturalized. Had he been, Patrick O'Donnell need not have applied for naturalization. As to tke second point, O'Donnell himself saysthat injury to his arm firavenud his enlistment in the army, but he was employed as a teamste! 1804 with a government sup ply train in Colorado, It had not been thought necessary to verify this state- ment, for if true the fact would not give him the right of naturalization as one who has served in the army. Moreover, a cortificate was not granted on the ground of his having been a soldier, In support of the third allegation he s:oducu a certificate of naturalization ted November 0, 1878, by the probate court of Lawrence county, Ohio, This certificate was issued in conformity with a seotion of the revised stetutes, which “Any alien being under the ago of 21 years who has resided in the ing arriving at that age, and has con- tinued to reside therein to that time, he making prescribed declaration.” At that me, instead of two years before natu on, it would appear that_this cer- tificate was irregularly granted, for in )'Donnell’s statement, e to the United States charge d’affairs at Lon- don, was that he returned to Ire- land after attaining & majority, and remained .there between 1807 and 1871, and consequently had not continued to reside in the United States from the time of coming of ageto the time of making application to be a citizen, as he must have done to conform with the re- irements of the statute. It is a'so un- n whether he in fact resided bere for Jon before attaining his majority.
