HALIFAX, May M.-The latest news
from Dummond Colliery this morning.
represents the fire still raging In the
shafts and slopes, and all hopes of res
cuing the men must be abandoned. 1t
Is now stated there were sixty men in
be pit. Another heavy explosion
occurred In the mine, about two o'clock
this morning. 1t Is thought to be
almost impossible that any Of tho
men In the pit can be living now. It
is known that only four or five got
out before the explosion. The fire
caught from a flask Of gunpowder and
men remained to put out the flames.
Ono report says Mr.. Dunn and thirty
men went down to assist In putting
out the fire about 20 minutes before the
explosion took place, which time
1t Is supposed that all the men were
near the flames, and that many ifcot
all were killed at once By the explo-

The execution OF John Devine, for the
murder Of August Kamp, took place In
the County Jail at one o'clock P. M.
to-day. Long before noon . crowd Of
about three thousand men, women and
children, assembled In front Of the
Jail, standing patiently awaiting the
hour of execution. The prisoner was
In his cell with his father oonfessor.
Mono others we're admitted. Judge
Tyler, counsel for Devlne. went to the
Jail, but the prisoner declined to see
him. Tyler said Devine sent for him
to come to his cell to see him this
morning. The prisoner ate a hearty
breakfast, and seemed to be In good
spirits and cheerful. The scaffold was
a light platform, across the main corri-
dor, with q beam above from which
the fatal cord depended.
About 200 persons were admitted.
At / p. N. Sheriff Adams came from
Dsvine's cell and said the prisoner had
made a special request that the people
should keep perfectly still and ask no
questions. A moment after, Devine
came from his cell kissing a small cru
cifx. He took his place on the fatal
trap followed BY Father Sprecles. He
shut his eyes while the rope wal being
adjusted, but at a word from the priest
Devine opened his eyes and said.
"Sweet Jesus, Into Thy hand I COM
mend my spirit" when the drop
fell, and in q few moments the strug-
giles ceased and John Devine was
dead. At the hour Of execution about
5000 people were In front Of the jail.

blasting powder has lately been intro
duced for use In the mines In this Vi
cinity with great success, and has
worked an entire revolution BY fur
nishing a strong explosive full rs per
cent. less than any heretofore used.
The XX Hercules Is the strongest
powder IN use for hard rock blasting,
for boulders and for use In water. The
No. Q Is equally effective for all medi-
UNI hard rock, and much superior to
any other powder Of that class. They
are both readily exploded with the

adjusted to the fuse. 1t Is calculated
that the introduction Of this powder
will be a saving OF $500 per annum
