EXPLOSION IN A HIKE

Forty-Three Men at Work at the Time.

NO HOPE FOR SAVING THEM.

One Man Itlowu Out of the Tunuel and Horribly Mangled, Dying Shortly Afterward—A I.arge Rescuing Force at Work

Trying to Reach the Bodies of the Unfortunate Miners. NEWCASTLE, Colo., Feb. 19.—An explosion occurred at the Vulcan mine at 11:20 yesterday forenoon, which was the most disastrous ever known in the history of this camp, and dozens of homes in the little city are desolate. All business is practically suspended, and every one is dazed at the awfulness of the sudden disaster. No warning was given the peaceful villagers until a sudden report as from a hundred cannon resounded throughout the valley.

A throng of people was soon at the scene of disaster, a distance of nearly two miles lrom Newcastle. A glance was eiiougn to dissipate any hope for the lives of the entombed men. The force ot' the explosion had caused a caveiii, and tiie tunnel and air courses were filled win 1 "leu rock, earth and timbers. bom iii In)uses were wrecked and th« siu .e and vicinity were so lull of debris, a.ia tne gas was so bad, that it was iiaru and dangerous work to begin the rescue. Nevertheless willing lianas were soon at work, anil five men went uowii as far as possible to ascertain the condition of the slope, and found it such that it will require much work to regain the laborers. The gas was so bad tiiat after the party had gotten 200 feet they were compelled to recede.

The consolidated mine shut down immediately 011 hearing of the disaster, ana sent their entire force ot 150 men to help the unfortunate ones. The eonstiue'uun of a temporary fanliouse was commenced at once, and the work of puaiping iresii air in the mine will soon Degiu. it is iiaraly possible that any of the miners are stili alive, but rue starting 01 tne fans will be made as soon as po^siuie in rue hope tnav if any have survived riiey may oekept alive till help rem lies in mi.

Tne oniy man who ^'ot out of the mines at tne time of tne explosion was Edv.\.i'd \vV.ch, who was near tiie mouth of tne tunnel, and was blown out, his skull fractured, arm broken, •face badly -ae and burned and all tne hair bin-iieu from his head. He was breathing \,heu found, but expiieJ. shortly afterwards without showing consciousness.

Tv,o young miners, Tom Connelly and James x'atrie, met wicn narrow escapes. Tiieir eyes becoming sore, they quit work in the mines and had just emerged from the tunnel when the explosion occurred.

The following are the names of the ini.uris Known lo be at work at the time of the explosion:

William l-iagerty, Joseph Dorb, Abel Dorb, William Dorb, James Harrison, Thomas Lawigan, George Ward, Ed- I ward Welch, driver Jo.nu Funke and 13-year-old son, Emil Charles Merchant, Tom Addison, Louis Ginotsi, -jPred Kcdanski, home in Illinois, leaves wile and nine children Peter Patricio,

Setiger, Jack Jenkins, Domenic iiosutti, Peter Tappero, Antonio Tappi ro, Andrew Rollanoo, Peter JVLagento, Antonio Martmo and David J. Evans.

As soon as the news of the explosion reached Newcastle Superin teuuent .Blout closed the mines of the Colorado Fuel and iron company, and taking all his miners left for the Vulcan mines,

where all are actively at work aiding the attempts at rescue. There are two shafts in addition to the one in which the explosion took place. I11 the upper of these two the rescuers are in about 300 feet and it is through this that air can be forced into some of the rooms, but none of those in the mine have come out, and it is feared that this is conclusive evidence that all are dead.

In this main tunnel men are at work building a division with boards and canrass, through which air can be forced in on the one side and the foul gas driven out from the other. But this is slow work and there is no possibility of getting far enough in the mine to recover anybody before all have perished,

The cause of the explosion is not yet known. The coal fields in which the Vulcan mine is located have been troubled with subterranean gases for many years. In many places over a distance of 80 or 100 miles smoke has issued from crevices in the rocks since the country was first known to white men, and in late years more than one valuable coal mine has been destroyed by fire breaking into the workings.

A little over a year ago the mines of the ulcan company had to be flooded on this account and the old workings have never been reopened, and the drift where yesterday's accident occurred was •a new one. It is thought that the disaster may have been caused by the breaking into an immense pocket of gas

f'eb.

enerated by these everlasting fires. (J11 8, State Coal Mine Inspector Griffith inspected the mine and pronounced it in splendid condition and the work is said to have been done at all times in the most careful manner.

1 DELEGATES TO ST. LOUIS.

They Ulust lie Selected tlie Same Way as Congressional lielegates. WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.—Senator Carter of Montana, chairman of the Republican national committee, has rendered a decision that will be of interest in every congressional district in the selection of delegates to the St. Louis convention. in the Tenth Ohio district a faction of the Republican party undertook to elect the two delegates from the ydistrict at a primary election.

The opposing faction, led by ex-Con-gressman Thompson, contended that the delegates must be selected according to the practice of selecting congressional candidates in the district, nameSjy, at a convention of delegates chosen by primaries. To secure a decision upon the subject Judge Thompson foruuiily appealed to Chairman Carter and $rag sustained.

BLACK\ SNOW.

Peculiar Phenoincm Veen in Chicago ud Vicin. CHICAGO, Feb. l{*^-"Black

snow"

was a novelty enjoye^in this city last bight. Between 6 and 7 o'clock there was a fall of a

couple

of

seemed

inches

in

of what

the dark to be the staple

-variety. The

win­

ter article, but which, on examination under gas or electric light, proved to be decidedly not

the ordinary Caucasian

flakes,

enough, were of

crystal and fleecy

a

mnddy colored sort

that at once suggested the Ethiopian adjective. When melted on an extendI ed palm they left each a

tiny ink-like

speck. In the mass the so-called snow looked like three-weaks-old slush, The weather bureau officials and other supposed good experts were at first inclined to attribute the phenomenon to local atmospheric conditions, in combination with the smoke and grime of the city. Advices, however, that the same results were observed at suburbs 35 miles distant, upset all such explanations.

The storm began at 6:40 p. m., and continued spasmodically until far into the night. From Evanston to the Indiana state line, and from the shore of Lake Michigan to the most westerly suburbs, the 130 square miles of Cook county, were swept by the peculiar visitation.

The heavy fall was made almost blinding by a stiff southwest wind. Each particular flake that fell on the clothing of those who happened to be on the streets left its trace in a small blotch of dark-browish dirt.

The streets down town crowded when the dust-filled snow first began to fall. Their garments presented the appearance of having been covered with dust and then sprinkled with water. When dried, the dirt was easily removed and no stain was left.

Dispatches show that the black snow fell over a wide expanse of territory and was not by any means confined to the immediate vicinity of Chicago. Telegrams received from points as far away as the cities of eastern Iowa, told of similar experiences. Southern Wisconsin, southern Illinois and western Indiana were all alike overspread.

I11 Chicago the most noticeable results were seen at the down-town hotels an I clubs where the lavatories did a rusi in^r business. Guests came in with their faces as black as though they had been shoveling coal and they lost no time in getting to the first convenient soap and towels.

TROY'S CONFLAGRATION. .More I'ire Victims, the iWissing Having All lJi't-u Heard From. TKOT. Feb. J!).—What seems almost a miracle in connection with the disastrous conflagration in Troy Monday night is the fact that the loss of life is 110 greater than was first reported. The list of three killed and 15 wounded is verified, and the miracle appears in the fact that those noted as missing have reported, and out of the (550 human beings who crushed and struggled for life in the flame-bound building, but three fatal endings came.

Where stood one of the finest business blocks in the city, loom only shattered brick walls coated with ice, a street strewn with fallen bricks, an almost illimitable netwoi-k of telegraph, telephone and electric railway wires, and sidewalks covered with ice as if a river of water had flowed through the streets.

Insurance men estimate the loss on the Burdott building and contents at more than §100,000. The loss 011 the other building is estimated at fully $40,000, 011 which there is $27,500 insurance.

The collections for relief already amount to over §500, and it is expected that this sum will be increased to over $1,000 before many hours.

While the firemen were yet at work on the big fire in the Burdett building they were summoned to fight another serious blaze. The flames this time attacked Appollo hall, one of the landmarks of the city. The hall was soon destroyed, and the flames spread to premises 011 the ground floor, including two saloons and a restaurant. The loss will reach $30,000. The hall was the socialists' headquarters and was noted as a place of amusement.

LAUGHLIN IN COURT.

Arraigned on Three Infamous Charges and Waves Examination. MAYSVILLE, Ky., Feb. 19.—The mob from Bracken county to hang Robert Laughlin, the Augusta double murderer, did not materialize. Laughlin was taken from the jail early in the night and hidden away, guarded by a dozen men.

The general opinion is that Laughlin was crazy when he committed the horrible crime. There is a streak of insanity running through the family.

He was brought before Judge Hutchins, charged with murder, arson and rape. His attorney, Judge George Doniphan of Augusta, was present, and Laughlin talked earnestly with him. He discussed every phase of his crime as coolly as if he was conversing on any every-day subject. He waived arraignment, and was held without bail to await action of the Bracken circuit court. At Laughlin's request he was left here for safekeeping.

IN

SHOT SELF-DEFENSE.

James and

Carry Holly Fatally Shoots Nicholas Combs. JACKSON, Ky., Feb. 19.—Cany Holly, a farm laborer, yesterday shot and killed allies Combs anil badly wounded Nicholas Combs, on old Buck creek in Brealiitt county. The two Combses were lying in wait by the roadside at the time ready to kill Holly when he passed along because he had shot Hiram Combs, a brother of James, through the shoulder on Monday.

Both men opened fire 011 Holly as soon as lie was near enough. Holly returned the fire with a Winchester rifle. It is believed that Nicholas Combs will die from the wound he received, thus making it a double tragedy. Holly has not been arrested, though it is said he is at his home and ready to give himself up.

G. A. It. Kncainpment at St. Paul. INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 19. Adjutant General Bobbins says that the national encampment of the G. A. -R. will be held at St. Paul. The Wisconsin Central and the Chicago and Northwestern roads have verbally signified their willingness to comply with the desires of the G. A. R., and if these grants are reduced to writing the encampment will nor ot moved.

THIRD TIE IN COURT

Cases of Pearl Bryan's Murderers Continued.

STILL IN THE CINCINNATI JAIL.

Requisition Papers Have Been Granted, but Will Be Fought in the Hamilton County Courts Probably Two Weeks

Before a Decision Will Be Rendered. Still Talk of Lynching the Arch Fiends. CINCINNATI, Feb. 19.—Owing to an incendiary advertisement calling for 1,000 men at Court and Sycamore street at 8:30 o'clock yesterday morning, "ready for work," there was apprehension that a mob was to be gathered to lynch the prisoners Jackson and Walling when 011 their way from the jail to the police court. Court and Sycamore is the jail location, and the prisoners were to be taken to the police court at 8:30 o'clock.

A crowd did assemble, but a heavy relay of police was found there, and no concentration was permitted. Little by little news got abroad that 110 occasion for any sort of demonstration could arise, for the simple reason that the prisoners had been quietly removed to the city hall two hours before the time when it was supposed they would leave the jail. Notwithstanding this fact, curious people kept coming to that vicinity only to find 110 cause of excitement.

The third appearance of Jackson and Walling in the police court served to crowd the corridors leading to the court room with a jostling, curious assembly of men and women. Ample guards were placed, however, so tl" 'o one got into the courtroom who rti have a right to be there. When the cases were called the prisoners promptly appeared from the eellroom below, with. 110 unusual signs showing any change in their bearing.

They were required to remain net. more than a half a minute, for counsel had agreed to continue the hearing until Feb. 27. As soon as the order was announced by the judge, the prisoners were safely returned to the jail, the wagon being followed at a run by a few over--curious boys.

It is generally believed that Jackson and Walling will remain prisoners in the Hamilton county jail for at least two or three weeks before their removal to Kentucky is finally and fully determined upon in a legal way.

The program that has been mapped out. by the counsel for the prisoners will probably require that length of time in execution, and, should certain contingencies arise, which are by no means improbable, the legal fight against the removal of the prisoners may be prolonged several months. At all hazards, there is not the slightest likelihood that the accused murderers will be taken across the river today or tomorrow, as it has been generally believed they would be.

Governor Bradley's instrument of requisition has been recognized by Governor Bushnell, but is subject to review by a court. This being the case, the matter, according to the plans of the attorneys, will be tal£ii before Judge Buchwalter, in the L&inilfoti court of common pleas. Here it will be brought up by means of an application for a writ of habeas corpus. The arguments before Judge Buchwalter. in court room No 6, will probably consume two or three days.

REQUISITION GRANTED.

The Fight. to lie iUarte in the Hamilton County Courts. C01jUMBUS, O., Feb. 19.—The requisition papers for Jackson and Walling were taken into the office of Governor Bushnell by Sheriff Plummer. The sheriff came from Cincinnati alone. Governor Bushnell at once sent for Attorney General Monett and requested him to examine the papers and ascertain whether they were strictly in form. General Monett, after a careful scrutiny, pronounced them correct.

The proceedings before the governor were purely formal, the attorneys for the accused having notified the governor that they will make their contest in the Hamilton county courts, so there being no resistance and the papers being in form, Governor Bushnell honored the requisition and appointed Sheriff Plummer the state's agent to take the accused men into custody and convey them to Kentucky. Mr. Plummer returned to Cincinnati on the next train.

AT GREENCASTLE.

The Grand Jury May Indict Will Wood. Mrs. Jackson Better. GREENCASTLE, Ind., Feb. 19.—The grand jury is still at work investigating the Pearl Bryan case, to learn whether indictments should be returned here. William Wood's indictment is expected.

The condition of Mrs. Jackson, mother of Scott Jackson, continues critical, but is a little better. She is under medical treatment for insomnia, having slept but little since the terrible occasion. She is a lady of high literary attainments, and, though her sorrows are telling on her daily, it is believed she will survive the shock incident to her son's disgrace.

To Protect the Men.

FRANKFORT, Ky., Feb. 19.—When Governor Bradley was told of the fears entertained at Cincinnati and Newport, that mob violence would be attempted 011 Walling and Jackson, the men charged with the murder of Pearl Bryan, he at once telegraphed to Sheriff Plummer, at Newport, asking him if he needed any assistance to preserve the welfare of the prisoners, in case they are brought to Kentucky. If the sheriff answers that he needs aid, it is thought tie governor will at once order several companies of the state militia out, as he expressed himself as determined to see that the accused men had a fair and impartial trial by due process of law.

youthful Train Wreckers Indicted. UTICA, N. Y., Feb. 19.—The grand jury in session here handed up yesterday an indictment against the youthful Rome train wreckers, J. W. Hildredth, Theodore Hibbard, Herbert Plato and Fred Bristol, of murder in the first degree. They wrecked the fast mail on the Central Hudson road in the Rome swamp Tuesday, Nov. 19. Over 100 witnesses were examined by the grand jury. I

APPROPRIATION BILLS.

Two aff Them Passed In the Senate and OH In the House. WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.—The house yesterday passed the agricultural appropriation bill. It carries $3,158,192. The section of the revised statutes for the purchase and distribution of "rare and uncommon" seed which Secretary Morton declined to execute in the current appropriation law was repealed, the appropriation for seed was increased from $130,000 to $150,000, and its execution was made mandatory upon the secretary. Mr. Couzins of Iowa introduced his amendment to reduce Mr. Morton's salary from $8,000 to $25 until he expended the appropriation in the current law, but the amendment was ruled out on a point of order. Several amendments to the meat inspection act of 1891, recommended by Secretary Morton, which would have giveu him additional power to enforce regulations and have strengthened the law by the imposition of penalties for violations, were stricken out.

Bills were passed to permit the Kansas City and Fort Scott railroad to extend its lines into the Indian Territory to dispose of the Fort Kalmath Hay reservation, and to grant the Columbia and Red Mountain railroad a right of way tlirough the Colville Indian reservation.

A resolution was adopted directing the committee 011 ways and means to investigated the effect of the difference of exchange between gold and silver standard countries upon the manufacturing industries of the United States.

Notice also was given that the contested election contest of Van Horn vs. Tarsney would be called up next Tuesday.

In the Senate.

WASHINGTON, Feb. J9.—The session of the senate furnished a succession of breezy incidents. Little actual work was accomplished, but brief debates 011 a number of subjects developed frequent sharp personal exchanges between the senators. Mr. Hill of New York had a lively tilt with Mr. Tillman of South Carolina during the debate 011 Mr. Feller's resolution for the senate investigation of the recent bond issue. Mr. Allen of Nebraska joined issue with Mr. Gear of Iowa and Mr. Walcott over the course of the Pacific railway committee in conducting their inquiry. Mr. Chandler and Mr. Cockreii had an animated but good natu^ed colloquy, and General Hawley and Mr. Allen had a difference somewhat less good natured.

Two appropriation bills, the military academy and the pension bill were passed during the day. Efforts were made to amend the military academy bill by increasing the number of cadets by two from each state, 90 in ail, but after a debate of three hours, the plan was defeated. The pension appropriation bill, carrying .$142,000,000, was passed al' er 10 minutes' debate.

CRAZED WITH JEALOUSY. A I»roo!:lyn Man Shoots I!is Wife, Soil and tiraiidcliild.

BROOKLYN, Fob. 19.—Crazed with jealousy because his wife and sou had left him, Franz Michael Schwab, a German laborer, 56 years old, last night visited the home of his married sou, Bernard, and after gaining admittance by trickery, fired four shots from a 44caliber pistol, two of the bullets lodging in the body of his wife, Katrina, 53 years old, killing lior almost instantly. The third ball struck his grandchild, 9 weeks old, over the heart, and the fourth struck the son, Bernard, in the right eye.

Schwab, after the shooting, ran through the apartments in search of his daurhter-in-law, and not finding her, made his escape to the street by way of the fire escape from the second floor. He was overtaken by a patrolman and arrested. The police believe that he is insane.

Bernard Schwab and the injured child were removed to St. Catherine's hospital, where the doctors say that they will probably not recover.

Fishermen Adrift on tlie Ice. HOUGHTON, Mich., Feb. 19.—A party of fishermen from Pequaming went adrift on the ice in Keewana bay yesterday, and have been blown out into Lake Superior. The closed condition of the ice prevented boats going out immediately to tl rescue, and nothing can be seen of .ie men by parties who are patrolling the bay.

Sanitarium and Bathhouse Burned. ST. JOSEPH, MO., Feb. 19.—The Oxford sanitarium and Turkish bathhouse at Third and Farion streets burned yesterday evening. The loss is $50,000. John Silvey, a Chicago traveling man who was lying helpless in the sanitarium, was rescued with considerable difficulty.

Making a Test Case.

HAVERHILL, Mass., Feb. 19.—Oliver Armstead, colored, has instituted a suit against Louis Valiquet, a barber, for refusing to shave him Saturday night. The colored people of this city complain that they are discriminated against and this is to be made a test case.

A MAN FOR AN EMERGENCY.

Surprising Experience In a Car of Boy Who Was Headstrong. A poorly dressed woman with a boy about 9 years old boarded one of the Union Trolley company's cars in White Plains avenue recently. There was no vacant seat, and she grabbed a strap in front of a young man and prepared to hang on. The young man got up and tipped his hat to her. Quick as a flash the boy dropped her hand and leaped into the seat on his knees, taking care to wipe his muddy feet on the clothing of the passengers on either side. The young man looked first at the woman, for whom he intended the seat, and then at the boy. The woman shook her head and said: "Poor boy 1

I

guess he's tired. He can

have it, sir." The young man looked from one to the other again. He shifted about uneasily for a moment. The other passengers in the car giggled. That decided him. Holding to a strap with one hand, he reached for the boy with the other and got him by the nape of the neck. He lifted him clear of the seat and held him dangling and kicking in the air. The woman was about to protest. Then she thought better of it and sat down in the vacant seat. "Madam," said the young man, throwing the boy at her, "here is your boy.'' "Thank you, sir," she said. "He is a bit headstrong, it's true, sir."

The boy looked astonished. He whimpered a little. The woman patted him on tbe head, and there wasn't a peep heard from him from that time until the Harlem bridge was reached and the crowd got out.—New York Sun.

The Mullein Plant.

We stopped to look at the downy content of that sober plant, the mullein. Many plants had the central leaves folded continuously one about another until a sort of large, gray green bud was formed, and in one of these buds a bee was taking an afternoon nap, snugly sheltered from the air, which was growing somewhat chilly. We thought that any prudent insect might find a comfortable wiuter home by asking the mullein to open its velvet le ives just a little and then to fold them tightly around the wanderer! And while we were speaking a bluebottle fly went humming past us, as if to say he had no mind yet to be asking shelter of any one !—Edith M. Thomas in St. Nicholas.
