been avoided by the selection of Antigua

To avoid the danger Of yellow fever as

The ocean station will be jamaica as long

convenience will be occasIoned to the

THE GREAT DISASTER AT
BARN>LEY.

The dreadful c%oIliery explosion ut
BarnsIty, on Wednesday week, by far
the most destructive of human life
that has ever taken place, was %announc-
ed in onr last publication. The number
of persons killed at the Lundhill CoIIiery,
in The same neighbourhood, in February,
1857, was l89; and the disaster at the
Hartley CoIliery, in the Tyne district, in
January, 1867, proved fatal TO 200.
These were the greatest instances on
record but the total loss of life on this
occasion is about $50, including twenty
or thirty who persisted by a second and
a third explosion, while engaged in
searching for the dead bodies on Thurs
day week, the day after the first explo-
sion in the workings. The scene of
these terrible misfortunes is the Oaks
Colliery, where seventy-three persons
were destroyed by a similar accident in
March, 1916. This colIiery is about q
mile and a half from Barnsley, near
Hoyle Mill. 1t is the property Of Mr.. R.
Micklethwaite, who has leased it to
Messrs. Firth, Barber, and Co.
The funerals of the men whose bodies
were recovered, eighty or more in mum
Der, took place o Sunday and Monday
some in the Barnsley cemetery, others in
the churchyard of the village of Ardsley,

Breton. The bishop of Ripon read the
burial service in the cemetery on Sunday,
and preached a funeral sermon at ST.
Mary's Church. He was most asslduous'
with other clergymen and ministers OF
religion, in visiting and consoilng the
bereaved families. OF the eighteen men
and boys brought up alive after the first
explosion, six died in a few hours, and
~severa! others have since died. The
Miners Union reports that there are 100
widows and $50 orphans of members
who have been killed, and the usual
allowances at death will cause a drain OF
$4,000 upon the society's funds. The
Union has resolved, for some time TO
come, to allow each widow IS. a week
and Is. weekly for each child.
The Lord Mayor of London, 10 his
sitting at the Mansion House, on Thurs
day week, called attention to the disaster
at BarnsIey, and invited subscriptions for
the relief Of the widows and orphans. A
committee has been formed TO raise q
fund, which will also be shared by the
sufferers from the c%olliery explosion which
happened on Thursday week, at TaIk-o'-

Frightful Massacre of White Men by
the Indians-Fi Fifty-nine Men Butch
ered-DiScOVery Of Salt Water.

JUNCTION Cry, KANSAS, Feb. q
A man came into Salena about fifty
miles west of here, yesterday, and re-
ports a frightful massacre of white
men by the Cheyenne Indians near the
head of Smoky Hill river few days
since, under the following circum-
stances: Wallace's train with sixty
men were in camp, when a party of
fourteen Indians came begging. The
teamsters refused to give them any,
thing, whereupon the Indians fired
upon them, but without effect. The
teamsters returned the fire, and killed
8 Indians. About s o'clock that
night, the camp was surrounded by
200 Indians, who massacred SO out of
the 63. The man that brought the
news had an arrow hole through his
shoulder, and another in his hip, and
claims to be ore Of the four that es-
capped.
A party of Omahas and Kaws made
a thieving raid on the Cheyennes, a
few days since, on the Saline River,
and captured several head of Chey-
enne stock. One Kaw was killed.
VIM. Comstock, the famous inter
prefer and Government scout, says
that the Cheyennes and Araphoes, OF
the Arkansas and Smoky Hill Rivers
appear friendly, but part of the
northern Indians are now moving
southwark, and have already commit,
ted many murders and other outrages
Comstock believes that they mean
war
LAWRENCE, Ks, Feb. IA letter
from the soldiers at Fort Phil. Kear-
ney says:
The Indians are still hostile and
very threatening in this vicinity. 1t
was with great difficulty the bodies of
the victims of the late massacre could
be buried, owing to the presence in
thu immediate neighborhood of bands
of lsavages.
Ex-Goy. Carney, the defeated can
didate for the q. S. Senate, at the re-
cent banquet given by his friends, an
nounced his retirement from politics.
He claims to have always been radi-
cal, and in advance of public senti-
ment of the State, and charges that
he has been calumniated and most
cruelty misrepresented.
Salt water of great strength has
been reached within the city limits, al
the depth of rs feet. Parties here
have leased all the city property in
the vicinity. Much excitement exists
over the matter.
