TERRIBLE EXPLOSION IN COAL MINE
A terrible explosion occurred in the DrummOnd
colliery, PictOn county, Nova Scotia, Monday
afternoon. Manager Dunn, Assistant Manager
Richardson and forty of the workmen were in
the pit when the explosion took place. The
greatest excitement prevailed above ground
after the fearful occurrence, and crowds of peO-
die for miles around came rushing to the scene
scribed by an eyewitness as narrowing beyond
description. Mothers, wives, sisters and chill
dren crowded around the burning mine, mourn
ing the fate of those below, their heartrending
cries being heard for q long distance. Every
effort has been and is being made to rescue the
men, but SO far without success, and 1t is feared
they have all persisted. The fire at p. m. yes-
terday was still raging, although every effort
was being made to put 1t out.

Girl OF Nearly Nineteen Starved to

PHILADELPHIA, August l4.-Last
evening, before Alderman Beither, Jose.
phine Rowland and Sarah Jane Baptiste,
her daughter, living on Dickinson street,
above Seventh, were charged with cruel
treatment Of the stepdaughter of the
former, Mary Rowland, aged nineteen years Z.
Eighteen months ago John Rowland,
Mary's father, died, and since that time
her stepmother has treated her outrage
ously.
She has been locked in room and given
scarcely food enough to keep life in her
body; denied the necessares of life and
kept in q filthy condition, and with scarcely
clothes enough to cover her nakedness.
Sunday morning she escaped from her pris-
43S Dickinson street, and received shelter.
She was wasted to & skeleton her limbs
were not thicker than a mans finger, and
her body can be spanned readily.
Her friends called in a physician. Her
condition is critical to-day. The authori-
ties have been made aware of the affair
and the accused taken into custody. After
the full hearing in the case the accused
was committed for further hearing.
ABsINTHE.-lt is said that indulgence
in that most insdious Of liquids, absinthe,
is becoming common among fashionable
people at Newport. We do not believe
the statement, but there is little doubt that
the use of this vile stuff is gradually
spreading in this country, and that, too,
among people who are not ignorant of its
deleteriOus effects. 1t is a strange per-
versity of human nature that leads people
to delight in doing those things which they
ought not to do.

THIS "FARMERs' MOVEMENT" there
fore, is going to be of great benefit to farm
ers in direction they least expect, in my
judgment Some of the oranges are or
ganized to enable farmers to steer clear of
middlemen. To do this they have got to get
at facts and figures in relation to the hand
ling and sale of their produce, and in re-
lation to the cost and value of what they
buy for their own use and comfort, Of
which they have been almost totally igno-
rant hitherto. They are going to discover
how complex are their relations to other
classes, and how their business relations
to each other may be affected by small
difference in the cost of farm management.
1t is going to develop business
habits where they have not existed
before with any considerable degree of
thoroughness. If they don't get welded
to this foolish idea that they can override
other classes with impunity by getting con-
troll of state legislatures courts, &c., and
lose sight of the fact that they have only
equal rights with other classes, this stirring
up, this meeting together, this hunting for
facts, this discussion of ways and means,
this social friction, will do more to lift the
farmers Of the country into to true busi-
ness relations with each other and with
others, than all the preaching on the sub
ject that has been done by the agricultural
press the past twenty-five years has done,
or than it can do for quarter of a century
to come.
