From the Big Rapids Magnet.

The late fire which VIC stopped
our press to mention last week, II
the most severe, with but ore eX'
ception, that one exception, that
Big Rapids ever experienced. A
few weeks ago, the. Common
Council advanced the tax requir-
ed of saloon keepers, from $500
to $500 per annun. The saloon
a'ics thought it too high, and on
the LIST inst, that being the begin
ming Of the new tax year, they not
only refused to pay, bnt ''shut up
shop" proposing by this course to
compel the Council to reduce the
tax to its old standard. At the
Council meeting last Tuesday ev.
ening, a proposition 10 SO reduce
it was lost by vote of 3 to 4,and
the ordinance requiring $500 re-
mains in full force. Yesterday,
some of the saloon keepers, de-
tcrinined to do business in optic

pep" Some of the citizens as.
sumo to feel alarmed, least a sus-
pension Of the liqncr traffic shall
paralizc the town, while others,
taking an entirely different view
of the matter, rejoice at the turn
affairs have taken. Ii the saloons
remain closed, the business Of the
police courts will be materially
iessencd and the Marshal aud
Jailor have Ices to do than here
toiore, which arc in our opinion,
about the only kinds of business
that will suffer ifthey never re-

The Herald special from Hal
flax locates a mine disaster a,
the village of Westville, county
of Picton, 10 miles from Halifax,
where are thrco large colieries in
full operation, exporting large
quantities of coal. Navigation
having opened, the men dennan-
ded increased wages, and sevar-
al strikes occurred.
One of the large mines, called
the Drummond, worked by the
IntercoloniaI Company of Mon
treal had been closed several days,
and to day the men returned to
work. At half past II a shot
in the coal set fire to the slope
and half an hour afterwards a
fearful explosion took place,
caused by the accumulation OF
gas during the time tho mine was
closed; about Q o'clock a second
explosion occurred, coming up the
slope air shaft, or trial shaft, with
terrible force, and it is believed,
killing every one in the mine,
variously estimated at from 40 to
100, including men and boys.
Soon after the first explosion,
cries were heard at the foot of
the air shaft, and two shaft
men were Immediately lower
ed with ropes and four of those
below brought up. Two men
were going down the air shalt
TO render assistance. when the
second explosion occurred. and
were blown to pieces.
There was snch small supply
of water that little conId be done
to quench the flames, which were.
still raging fiercely at 10 o'clock
Tonight. Dense masses of smoke,
were pouring out of all the open
ings, threatening to destroy all
the surface buildings.
There is no hope of saving
those now below. All escape was
cut off bv the explosion. Many
of the lost are married, with
families,
