Woolley Coal Mine on Fire. Saturday night the whistle at theWoolley coal mine sounded the alarm of fire.- The night-watchman, Orion Rose, had discovered smoke issuing from ah air shaft. It was but a short time until a number of raiuers were on hand and the bank boss and Mr. Woolley at once concluded that the mine was on fire. It was impossible for anyone to, go down into the mine on account of the denseness of the smoke, hence the exact location that night could not he learned. Work was at once begun to smother out the fire. The air shafts were covered up and cemented down, thus cutting off all air possible. Monday evening a change in the air course was made and the mine opened up. Immense volumes of 1st earn and smoke poured up through the atr shaft, and in a short time four miners , went injto the mine-through one of the shafts and followed up the air course untiPtKe' trap doors were reached. At one of these doors it was found that one of the mules used in the mine had fallen against it and it was impossible to open it and another route to find the fire hail to be made. The fire was soon located, however, and was found to be in the stable, where the mules ahs, kept. The miners came out, * as nothing could be done at that time,'and the air shaft again tightly closed up. The eon^pany has §een at work for several days sinking an air shaft some distance awavlfrorja thematn shaft, and when this is completed, which will be in a day-or two the work of fighting the fire will be commenced bv usiug water. Mr. Woolley expeetsto have'the mine in working order again in a few days. The loss to the company is quite heavy as at this time of the year there is a great demand for coaL Seventy men ar€"employed in the mine.Sew Year’s Evg Murder.

The latter pulled his revolver and shot Smith in the head. The shot entered just in front of the left ear ami ranged upward and lodged against the skull on right side. This occurred about eleven o'clock and Smith died the next morning at five o’clock. Immediately after the shooting a messenger was dispatched "to this city for Dr. Link who went aud made an examination and probed for the bullet. There was no hopes for the unfortunate man. *■'.
