This was probably the most nendish outrage ever
committed IN the coal regions. 1t seems there were
nineteen people in the house that was blown up.
The devils that committed the murder first placed
the keg OF powder under one corner OF the house
and then attacked the house the other side with
view TO driving the inmates III the direction where
the powder was placed, ready at a given signal to
blow these nineteen innocent people to atoms. by q
merclful dlspensatlOn OF Providence they did
not retreat III the direction OF the powder
Thinking they had driven the inmates OF the house
to the right corner, they applied the burning brand
to the POWDER and the result was one corner OF the
house was blown on, but one hurt. What
devilisn ingenuity 1t must nave been to have
prompted such deed, and all for the sake OF being
