John Ericsson, the celebrated 5pgi neer,

ruary 27th, from the effects of the bite Of
q dog, is announced, was born in the pro-
vince OF Vsrmelsnd, Sweden, in the year
1903. When quite young, be evinced 3
decided inclination for mPchanics, and IN
1914 was, through the influence of Count
PlateD, appoin ted cadet ia corps OF en-
gineers. 10 1915, he was appointed Niue
leur, or officer having charge of the
Levels on the grand ship canal Of Swe-
den, and wss subsequently enrolled as an
ensign in the Swedish army. Ia this po-
sition he was ordered to the survey OF
Northern Sweden, and rose to the rank
Of Lieutenant. In 1926, he visited E0g

In 1858. Ericsson built a steamer Of 22Ol

Qine, but the result of the experiment

a recent suit against an insurance
company before the Supreme Court of
Missouri led to a decision of wide inter-
est The company resisted payment of
8 loss on the ground that the application
for the policy did not give accurate am
swers TO questions concerning the char
acter Of the title to the property. The
holder of the policy responded with proof
that he had made a frank and full state
ment OF the facts to the cOmpsny's agent
when he was soliciting the insurance,
and that after this statement the agent,
saying it made no difference, filled IN
the inaccurate answers in the applica-
ton. The court held the company re-
sponsible for this action Of its agent, and
required the payment OF the lOss, The
principle thus established is of wide ap-
plication, especially in life insurance
companies, whose agents are often
tempted to slur over doubtful circum-
stances concerning the health or sDtece-
denls Of apPli0antg Ia order to secure the

explosion, the place was full of choke
damp, and one OF the volunteers
narrowly escaped with his life, of foul
air. A few hours afterWard another
person of the detachment had to be
sent out exhausted from the ssme
cause.
Those VINO were In the immediate
neighbOrhood of the explosion were
having been blown about with in
credible violence, until mems bodies
had lost all resemblance TO those of
human beings. Those, on the con-
trary, who escaped the FIRE but were
Overtaken by the afterdamp were
little injured, and bore q placid look.
AT the bottom OF the pit the bodies
were wrapped in canvas before being
sent up,tO conceal the horrible injuries
they had received from the gaze of
the crowds. through which they were
carried. In most of the cases of burn
ing 1t was impossible TO identify the
bodies from the features. The proper
ton of deaths from burning, was
however, very much smaller than at
the explosion of 1867. On this occa-
sion the afterdamp was the chief
cause of death.
As &C the cause OF the accident, at
present all is mere speculation; there
are many statements afoat which it
would be useless to repeat, but the
account that obtains the most belief Is
that there had been a heavy fall in the
main airway, by which the current Of
ventilation had been cut of from tho
interior workings. Gas was then
allowed TO accumulate inside the TALL,
and in clearing the rubbish away the
gas flowed out, and, becoming mixed
with the atmospheric air, suddenly
became explosive, and ny some
means, st present unaccouutable, be
came ignited, with the dreadful con
sequence described above.
The number If lives lost will not
exceed sixty.

LATEST cOAL-MIRE EXPLOSION
Terrible Scene in an English Pit
Sixty Men Killed


The London Times CT the 18th inst,
gives full particulars Of the terrible
explosion in the Ferndaie Colliery, by
Which sixty miners were killed:
For q day or two previous to the
explosion the barometer indicated an
increasing density of the atmosphere,
and on the morning of the accident it
was exceedingly close il some parts
of the district The mon went in TO
work at the usual hour, and by seven
between five hundred and six hun
dred had gone down and distributed
themselves through the several dis
tricts, from one hundred and ten to
one hundred and twenty of them 90
ing into the soutll or QufIryn division
OF the pit. The lflremen had previ-
ously reported that all was right, and
the overnlan and resident manager
had been there according TO custom.
Everything went well until twenty
minutes past seven, when there was q
loud explosion in the Dufiryn. work
ings, and IN q moment all tfl4 road
ways and air-yays of that uistrict
were choked with clouds of dust, car
ried forward by the blast to the up
cast shaft. In q moment those who
had escaped the fire made their way
to the bottom of the shaft, but unfor-
tunately, the violence of the eoncus-
sion had driven ont the supports,
knocked down the air passages, and
caused such enormous fragments of
the roof to fall, that many parts of the
workings were effecalaliy cut off from
ventilation. The colliers perished in
their dreadful prison suffoeated by the
choke-damp.
The Doctors of the works were
promptly in attendance to aid the in
iured; but unfortunately their services
we're not required in many cases, the
mSiOrity of these wao came within
the erea of the explosion having fatal
injuries, which placed them beyond
the resources of human skill. In con-
sequence of the number Of falls, the
work of recovery proceeded very
slowly; there was an abundance of
air sent down the shaft, but the
destruction of the air courses rendered
it impossible to distribute il properly
in the Dufffyn district, and the falls
had liberated much hesh explosive
gas, 50 as to render the labors of the
searching parties extremely hazardous
TO themselves, Besides the risk of an

Cabinet. The new Secretary Is about
forty Years Of age, and IS represented
as uniting considerable strength OF
character and practical ability, with
professional ability and large general
information. His chief rec0mmenda-
tiOn probably lies, however, in the
fact that be Is 4 strong Republican,
and has earnestly worked for the ad-
Vtncemcnt Of the interests of his party
and the election Of its candidates. He
is said TO he in entire accord on all
questions OF national policy with the

asserted that the Republicans of that
State are satisfied with his appoint

he has ever taken any stock in the
great gift enterprise by either making
presents TO Grant or subscribing for
the purchase Of houses for Grant or
from Grant. The only anxiety which
appears to exist in regard to his adj

Is whether he Is TO be superior or sub
