Och. Cnrncs makes the following statement: "Wc have made better progress to Jay in om investigation than tit any previous time. The prisoners are just beginning to open their mouths and some startling devel opments will lie made in a short while. They all belting to a secret, oath-bound order and the penalty obligation isdeath, consequently they luivs been as close as clams heretofore. We have been at work 011 them, however, and arc just now beginning to convince them that tliev will be protected against violence for making a statement. We have obtained several confessions today, which at this step of proceedings it would be unwise to give out, but when they are made known they will create much surprise." The General also slated that, at the rate of progress that had been made yes terday he would be uhlc iu five or six days to seperate the chaff from the wheat and that the work of the military would be completed. Geo. U. liish, a notorious miner leader, was brought irom Knoxville to Coal Creek at 1 1:3(1 last night. At 11:50 p. in., a detachment of soldiers forcibly en tered the telegraph ollice and examined the telegraph tiles to get die address and names of miners. Attorney General Pickett who arrived at l.'oal Creek yesterday afternoon to co operate with Gen. Cnrncs in suppressing the trouble here, expresses the opinion that the lease system can l)c abrogated at the discretion of the Governor and Hoard of Prison Inspectors, as the con ditions of the lease had been violated years ago by the lessees' failure to pay a yearly Ice ol $100,000 lor which suit has been brought. 1 he i.cneral also ex pressed the opinion that martial law could lie proclaimed m lennessce, ither by the Governor or bv n special session of the legislature. I he only way to handle the matter was the method being pursued uo'V by the state guard with the co-operation of the civil authorities. Heroic measures, the general thought, should lie instituted. If a dozen tir two ol the prime movers in the lawlessness were scut to the peniten tiary it would have a good effect on the other agitators and they would not dare to return to this vicinity lor fear of a like penalty.

In const ipicncc ol the tall in silver the Saxony Government has decided not to complete its work on the Kothschoeiibcrgcr Slollcn, the long est tunnel in the world. The tunnel was intended to drain water from all the Freiberg silver mines and carry it to the i;ibe. The main tunnel is ot tlie same length as the St. Gothard tunnel. Its branches, however, add twenty-one miles to its length, making the total extent almost thirty miles. The tunnel was begun at State expense in 1MH-, and after thirty-three years of continuous work it was opened in April 1877. Hundreds of men ate thrown out of employment by the Government's de cision, aud it is expected that many more will follow, us most of the Freiberg mines, once the pride of Germany, have been rendered unremunerativc by the fall in silver. Work in tlie mines was be gun in 1200, and has produced 85i), 01111,0(10 marks' worth of silver. N. V. World. Mt'UOI-'REKS AT HEART. Huelt Arc tlie Men Who IUI This Til I iik. KiiAiiiM-,, Pa., Aug. 23. A dastardly attempt was made to wreck the express on the Pennsylvania railroad due iu this city from Philadclphiaat S:l.'l last night. After it had crossed a large iron bridge two miles below Kcadiug, going at torty miles an hour, the engineer saw an ob struction ahead, but was unable to stop the train which dashed into four heavy limbers placed across the track. The wheels ol the locomotive jumped the rails, and the lives of over 100 passen gers were imperiled, but no one was hurt. It. OF I, They Have Invaded Kansas City by the Thousand.

'resident Ciwyu Desires to net TIllllKS Right Editor Tim Citizen: Since the good people who got left on the mountain on Saturday uftcrnoou have seen proper to inquire through your columns as to why they got left, instead of coming and making complaint directly to the presi dent of the dummy line, I trust that you will do mc the justice to publish a state ment from me in regard to the matter. The schedule as published for last week, was that the last ear would leave the mountain terminus at 7:25, and the con ductor announced this fact on each trip late in the afternoon, so that no person should be misled. 1 was at the city ter minus Saturday evening when the last car left there, and it was about eight minutes late, so that it must necessarily have left the mountain terminus several minutes late, instead of ahead of time. The conductor's record shows that it left city terminus at 7:15, instead of 7:08. which is the schedule time; lie keeps no record of the time of leaving the mountain terminus. His record shows that four people went upon the last trip, and seventeen came down. I have seen the gentleman who was with the belated party, and he says that when the whistle blew for the mountain terminus, the party was at the spring. winch is 200 yards away irom me pavil ion, but that when the whistle Mew, he sent a little bov to run lorwartl and liolii the train; and that this little boy says that when he came iu sight of the car, the train was in motion, but that he shouted to it, and thinks he was seen by the train men. who, however, relusetl to stop for him. Now if 1 was sure that this boy was correct, no person eouiu rc- muin in my employ who would wan tonly leave people on the mountain at that time of day, on the last trip, But I must think the little iciiow was mis taken as to the train men seeing him. They certainly had good reason to believe that no one else was waiting to go down, for they were several minutes late arriving at the mountain terminus, and it is a fact that, as soon as the train starts, the attention of the crew is direc ted at once to the front, as it should always be. The noise of the engine and car would certainly drown the sound ol a buy's voice at an v distance from the nr. Sn f:ir ns I can see. no more blame can attach to my crew than to that of mi j "thcr railway that runs on its sched ule, and the tact that this party arrived at the station behind time should not operate to the blame ol the railway com pany or its employes.

AND IT II n A STRING TO IT WHAT A CANDIDATE II I TO CONTEND WITH. Jeter C. Prltchard, the Would Be Congressman, Goes on a Houd, but After HfInK Visited bva Com mtttee Reconsiders the Matter. Verily, "the life of a politician is not always a happy one." Tiie truth of this saying is illustrated by an incident occurring here yesterday. It will be remembered by those who read TheCitizun that "Dumps" Lane and two other colored men were arrested for running a "blind tiger" on Sycamore street. The men were taken before Com missioner Summey yesterday morning where they waived examination and gave bond in the sum of $200 each for their appearance at court, leter C. Pritchard.
