The Burning ColIiery.
HALIFLx. n. s.. Mnv Is

HALIFLx, N. s., May 10
/ A gentleman who has returned from tho
burning colliery says relays of men have
been at work since yesterday filling up the
slopes and air shafts with clay. The fire
still burns as fiercey as ever
lie went within few feet of the mouth
of the shaft from which blue, sulphurous
flames were ascending twenty or thirty
feet The computed loss of property is
enormous The woodwork in the mine Is
is burned, and miners say it is one mass of
burning ruins below At an inquest yes
terday several important facts came out in
the evidence, which show reckless and
carclcssncss in the supervision of miners in
dangerous parts of the mine. An inquest
was held on the body Of John Dunn.
Mr.. Poole, inspector of mines, and Mr..
Carmichael of New Glasgow were arrested
at the inquiry and all the gentlemen CON
nccted with the Albion Arcadia and Nova
Scotia Companies were present watching
the proceedings. The first witness Thomas
Lowcther, foreman, testified that the mine
was carefully attended during the time the
miners were out on strike, so there could
be no accumulation Of gas when the mi
ncrs returned to work Tuesday.
james Demslan, who was in the mine
when the fire occurred, testified that he
found nothing unusual in the mine when
he descended. When the word was passed
that the mine was on fire, all hands were
requested to go and put it out. Those who
refused to assist were ordered to leave, as
by remaining they would only impede the
progress of the others. Had the men
obeycd orders when it was found possible
to extinguish the fire, there would have
been plenty of time to put it out.
The same level had been on fire before.
Marcy was always stationed in the cabin to
give the miners information as to the con-
dition of their places and to warn them of
dangers. These regulations were attended
to, as were also the furnaces for yentilatinr
the same levels. There was more gas in
some levels than in others. These the use
of powder was prohibited.
The bed where the fire occurred was
aired by lattice work. Alexander Corimer
testified that his duty was to inspect the
mine before the miners go to work He
found the mine in usual good order on the
night of the 18th. There was gas in sew |
cral wards but that was nothing unusal. He |
found little gas on the lower level, but |
none in McLeods ward. Went about fif- |
teen feet in McLeods ward and reported |
the presence of gas where it existed.
The gist of Corimer's evidence was in the |
statement that if powder had not been used |
by Mcleod, the pit would have been all |
right to day. and there would have been
no lives lost

Terrible Explosions.
NEw York, May 10.

NEW YoRH, May 10.
special to the Herald says:
The Sky in the immediate vicinity was
Illuminated as if from volcano, flames
and smoke belching forth from the slopes
and shafts to height of one hundred feet
Explosion followed explosion all through
the long night, threatening with instant
destruction the miners cottages and the
companies buildings in the immediate vi
entity.
The explosions were preceded by low,
rumhling sounds. like distant thunder. and
when they took place the people ON the
surface, who were cndcavorng to qucnch
the flames, were obliged to seek shelter in
the woods near by from the flying stones
and debris shat were emitted from the pits
mouth
At two o'clock yesterday morning the
most terrible explosion Of all occurred. re
scmbling the discharge from park of
heavy artillery. The conclusion was felt
for miles around. and the buildings to
distance of three or four miles were shaken
as if by AN earthquake. The flames. smoke
and burning wood shot skyward for over
two hundred feet, and those who witnessed
it say ii was the most fearful sight they
ever behcld The woodwork ON the sur
face was completely destroyed by this lat
ter explosion. The remaining inhabitants
living in the houses near the collicry, fled
from them huricdly. expecting every mo-
ment another similar explosion.
All hope of saving the men in the mine
had long been abandoned.

TIE SECOND coNcERr.

An overlooking house greeted the mu-
steal talent at the Opera House in the even
ing, and every one seemed to be duly i'm
pressed with the benefits of the occasion.
The management may congratulate them
selves as their finances are looking up.
The programme of the evening was lavish
in the extreme. The Germania band opened
with another splendid overture and the
best one yet The first chorus was 'Farc-
well to the Forest" Mendelssohn and sung
finely without accompaniment. The bassos
showed increased powers and the altos
were especially effective. Mr.. w. ii. FEES
seuden, the famous tenor, was new at
traction to the festival and won golden
opinions from all. As regards his voice
ton and delight are the sure emotions of
the listener. But very few voices there
are that will chord so finely with string
accompaniment, while there is nothing
sharp or rasping in the sound. In the aria
from "Mighon," he received rousing en-
core and sang Marstons song of "Margue-
rite, in the sweetest manner imaginable.
His second number was the song 'Break,
Break" which was rendered with pleasant
effect and narrowly escaped an encore.
There is conscientious ease and grace in
this gentlemans singing that is quite re-
freshing, and in our opinion he rivals the
far-famed tenors of foreign countrie in
voice as well as style of singing, while he
reminds one very forcbly of Mr., Castle.
Mrs. Van Zandt, who won so many en-
coniums at her firsL appearance, added
still farther to the delight of all last eve
ming. In the scene and aria from
"Faust she was cncored, and responded
by singing The Last Rose of Summer
in her sweetest style Her next number, II
"Polonaise from the opera Of Miynon
won an encore also, and that beautiful
song, "Janct's Choice" was sung charm
ingly. This lady can sing the songs that
Nilsson and Parepa have built up their
fame on, and it will not be called presump-
ton. A little daughter of Mrs. Van Zandt,
and a true child of song, is to sing the
solos for the children's choruscs this after
noon.
Madame DE Ryther was in splendid
voice and sang even better than the eve
ming before. In the cayatina, :" All Milo
Fernando" she received decided encore,
and sang "The Golden Days. by Sullivan.
She afterwards sang the gem by Hodges,
"Thc Rosebush," which brought out the
low tones of the singer with admirable
effect, and its repetition was demanded by
the audience, and pathetically rendered.
The favorite baritone, Mr.. Remmertz,
increased in popularity and sang with won
derful power, while at the same time 1t
seems that the fount is far from being ex-
hausted. He sang an aria from Handel,
was encored, and gave the splendid song,
"lf thou couldst but know" by Balfe, in
his best manner and voice. lie also sang
with grand feeling aud effect the aria of
Lord Have Mercy"

Innovation does not always imply i'm
ply improvement, nor is temporary popu-
larity necessarily the evidence of true mer
it; but the experience of American bust
ness life supplies ample evidences that Gus
toms, however venerable, may be improved,
and that intelligent progress is always com
patible with conservative management
This is the theory of the officers of the
EQUITABLE LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY, and
is one of the means by which the society
has been so rapidly pushed to front place
in public confidence and patronage.
The EQUITABLE has assumed an impOr-
lance and permanence in this city emitting
it to the confidence and hearty support of
all interested in Life Insurance and some
reference to it and its operations will doubt
less interest our policy holders and the pub
lie.
The society, through its general agents,
has perfected an organization of II local
board of directors for this place, who will
be charged with general supervision of
the important interests of the society, and
the policy holders in this section. These
gentlemen have taken policies in the society
amounting in the aggregate TO nearly ii
quarter of million dollars. The follow
ing named gentlemen comprise the board:
John n. Baxter,
Frederick Chaffec,
Ner u. Simons,
John A. Mead, NJ. d.,
Chester Kingsley,
Charles l.. Stimson,
Joel NJ. Haven,
George h, Bottum,
Colonel w. G. Ncazey,
John w. Cramton,
n. l.. Davis,
John A. Sheldon,
1t will thus be seen that the society have
secured a board composed of tirst-class
business men of high standing, in whom
the people have confidence, and whose
names are guarantee that the affairs of
the society in this vicinity will be prudent
ly and carefully managed. The society
has recently organized II Local Board at
Providence, X. l., and among the number
comprising the board we may mention the
following named gentlemen who are well
known throughout New England Gov
Padelford, Amos c. Barstow, eX-Gov. Jas.
Y. Smith, Amasa Sprague, Henry Lipptt,
eX-Gov. Thomas G.. Turner Edward p
Taft, and John Gorham. This system of
of local supervision is one that if generally
adopted by the companies would be great
protection to them and their polcy-holders
against loss or damage by reason OF fraud,
culpable negligence or incapacity on the
part of agents or others. The new business
of the Equitable during the years 1869, 20,
II, and ~ exceeded that of any other
company in the world. Ii is but Fourteen
years old and it has assets amounting TO
over $50, 900, 900 securely invested and its
income for 1872 was SS,500000 Its past
record is pretty sure guarantee for the
future and must be highly appreciated by
all members of the society.
