Terrible Colliery Horror.
rs PERSONS KILLED.

A terrible explosion occurred near
Halifax, Nova Scotia, on Tuesday Of
last week in the Drummond coal mines
II appears the miners had been on a
strike and during their absence the mines
had filled with gas, which ignited when
work was resumed. The number in the
mines at the time il took fire and who
have persisted, it is thought will reach rs,
of whom some % were heads of families,
of four men who at first went down the
shaft to aid their comrades, three were
overcome by the gas and died. Soon af-
ter the first explosion cries were heard
at the foot of the air shaft. Men were
Immediately lowered with ropes, and
four of those below were brought up.
Two men were going down the air shaft
to render assistance when the explosion
occurred and they were blown to pieces.
Ii was terrible scene at the mouth of
the pit. The heart-rending scenes are
described by eyewitness as narrowing
beyond all conception. Mothers, wives,
sisters and children crowded around the
burning pit, mourning the terrible fate
of those below. Their heart.rending
cries were heard a long distance. Every
effort was being made to rescue the men,
but without success. A later dispatch
from Pictou, says that from 10 o'clock,
Tuesday night, until daylight Wednes
day morning, the fire at the Drummond
colliery ragged with intense fierceness,
gathering volume and violence each mo-
ment. The sky in the vicinity of the
calamity was illuminated with the flames
issuing from the air shaft to height of
nearly 100 feet. All through the night
there were explosions. Three were pre-
ceeded by rumbling noise. The weary
watchers who remained around the pits
mouth and air shafts, and labored to
subdue the flames, were obliged to seek
shelter in the adjoining woods the stones.
debris, etc., thrown from the pits mouth
at each explosion were scattered in all
directions, and threatened instant dis
truction or injury to every one within
reach. About o'clock, Wednesday af-
ternoon, these explosions were followed
by one of terrific violence and destruct-
i've force. All the wooden works in and
about the main slope were instantly de-
stroyed. Stones, wood and burning en-
bers we're driven high into the air, smoke,
flame and horrible noises accompanying
the explosion. The earth for miles
around was shaken with the violence Of
the explosion.
The scenes in and around the villages
are saddening. Westville and the viii
lage at the Drummond colliery are in
mourning The shops are closed, and
no work is being done. Men and wo,
men wander about in groups, their sad
dened countenances betokening the great
grief that has befallen them.

Sad Story of a MANAGES Life.
A MAN CHAINED TO A LOG FOR NINE.
TEEN YEARS.

A MAN CHAINED TO LOG FOR NINE.
TEEN YEARS.
We learn from Mr.. Robert Glenn, OF
! the death, on the Goth ult., of Lewis
Flint, at his home in Wyalusing. The
deceased was forty-five years of age.
From the same source we learn some
particulars of the life of the late unfor-
tunate. Mr.. Flint was an old resident
of Grant county. About nineteen years
ago it became manifest, from the sudden
change that came over him, that insani.
ty was fast developing itself. A log
cabin was built near the one in which
the family lived, where the demented
man was placed for better security. Con-
fnement seemed to aggravate his disease
and increase his violence, which was
hard for his poor mother to bear, but all
efforts on the part of friends to have
him removed to some safe place were
unavailing. The physicians called to
examine his case, pronounced him hope
lessly insane, therefore no room for him
could be found in the hospital for the
insane, and to any other place they
feared to have him 60. Another plan,
however, was adopted, which seemed to
have better effect. A large block of
wood was obtained, too heavy to carry,
to which was attached chain, and the
chain fastened around his ankle in such
a manner as to produce no injury. This
arrangement allowed him some freedom
and he would divert himself by rolling
the block around in and out of doors at
pleasure, but it was always necessary to
watch his movements. 1t was many
times necessary for his brother, who had
charge of him, to be temporarily absent
from home, to which the invalid mother
never objected.
Strange as it may seem, she felt safe
to be left alone with her insane son, who
never during his long insanity, when la
boring under the strongest paroxisms,
seemed to forget the sacred name of
mother. His sickness was of short du-
ration. A few days before death he was
attacked by a violent pain in the head,
which so Frustrated him that he made
no resistance to being laid on his bed
His reason now for the first time in many
years, seemed to be partially restored
He told his brother that he was going to
die, asked for what he wanted, and, dis.
covering his block some distance from
his couch, asked to have it rolled to his
bedside, with his own hand he wrapped
the chain around his ankle, and there
kept it until life's ftful dream was over

AN OLD ESTABLISHED ADVERTISING
AGENCY The firm of S. M. Pettingill
81 Co., advertising agents, has now been
established for nearly a quarter of a
century, first in Boston, in 1S49, and
soon after branch office in New York,
and recently we observe they have es-
tablished one in Philadelphia. Their
business has stedily increased, and from
the time they commenced it exceeds ten
millions, thus exceeding an average of
several hundred thousand dollars year.
During this period many other agencies
have been started but there are only two
or three in the United States that will
bear comparison with them, in any re-
spect. They are the first agency with
whom we had business acquaintance,
now some twenty years, and we have
always found them reasonable and cour-
teous, and we take great pleasure in
cordially commencing them to both adj
vertisers and publishers. We not only
congratulate them on their long contin-
ued success in Boston and New York,
but trust an equal success awaits them
in Philadelphia.

SAD A sad affair recently
occurred in Stow, Mass, one night. Mr..
Frank Stevens was aroused by noise
which be presumed to have been made
by burglars, there having been several
horses seolen in the vicinity within the
past few days. He dressed himself hasti-
ly, and, revolver in hand, started for the
window Of his bedroom, peering out
from whence he failed to see anybody.
His dog,-a large one of the Newfound-
land breed barked loudly and distract
ed his attention, SO that he did not notice
the disappearance Of his wife. Mrs.
Stevens, alarmed as was her husband by
the noise, rose and crossed the entry into
the sitting-room where she raised the
curtain and bending over, looked out
When Mr.. Stevens found that there was
nothing to be seen from his own window
he started, revolver in hand, for out
doors but was arrested by what seemed
to be the spectical of man climbing
into his sitting-room window. Without
thought he fred and shot his wife, The
ball passed through the right shoulder
blade, coursing downwards towards the
abdomen, breaking rib on its way, and
has not yet been extracted. Medical
assistance was promptly secured and the
sufferer is now comfortable. Hopes are
entertained Of her recovery.

Can't. Halrs ExpedInon.

Capt. Patterson Of the Coast Survey,
after having examined the charts of Arc
tic waters, expresses the opinion that the
Polaris had undoubtedly entered clear
waters south Of Northumberland Island,
in latitude II 10. This island is the To-
cality where DIR. Kane wintered, but he
entered the harbor, if such it may be
called, on the north side.
He further explains that the outfit OF
the Polaris was complete in every re-
spect and that she was as well calculated
for the expedition as any vessel that has
ever sailed for such perilous voyage.
He was personally acquainted with the
preparations made, and other competent
Persons, including officers of the navy,
express similar opinions. They further
explain that the amount of provisions
left on board would enable the remain
ing crew to subsist with comparative
comfort for four or FIVE years.

A NOVELTY IN MURDER A singu
lar murder was recently committed on
the railroad between Cork and Limerick.
The conductor of night freight train
noticed that the speed of the train was
suddenly slackened, and went forward
to the locomotive to see what was the
cause. He did not find the engineer or
the fireman there. The train was at
once stopped and signals we're placed to
warn approaching trains. The engineer
was discovered lying near the rails with
q fearful wound in his head from which
the blood was flowing He was unable
to speak and died shortly afterward.
The fireman was soon found running
along the track. He said that a quar-.
rel had arisen between the engineer and
himself that the former had burned his
hand, and he, in anger, struck the man
who was now dead There were traces
of blood on the locomotive, and it looked
as if struggle had taken place in it.
The weapon which the murderer used
together with some clothes, had been
burned in the locomotive furnace. The
murdered man was married, and peace
able and trustworthy person. The fire.
man had hitherto borne good reputa-
ton, and had been on good terms with
the deceased. Not "a hours before they
had slept in the same bed. A murder Of
This kind opens an unpleasant field Of
conjecture as to the consequences which
might ensue to the passengers when the
engineer and fireman have knocked each
other off the train and the locomotive
goes on its mad career with no one tC
control it.

Amending the Constitution.

The Rutland Herald discusses the con-
stitution of our State, and in future
number will proposeamendments. We do
not know what the proposed amendments
are, but trust it will include one to COM
plete the organic law so that we may fill
vacancies in both houses of the legisla-
ture. In the constitutional convention
of 1S70there was proposed amendment
of this kind, which was voted down, by a
largemajority on theground thatthe pow
err already existed. In the legislature of
1928 bill was introduced by which such
vacancies could be filled, Gin accordance
with the apparent view of the majority
of that convention and finally came out
of that body with the absured distinc-
ton that we had the power to eli vacan-
cies in one House but not in the other.
The citation of presidents that vacan-
cies had been filled in the House was
met with the statement that il had been
done in a loose manner" and therefore
we're not precedents. However " loose
the precedents may have been, it seems
to us they were much more preferable
than the nice distinction made by the
last Cor PRESENT. legislature.
By the way, are We right in under
standing that the Herald claims the
right of the people to call convention
to amend our State constitution, indie
pendent of any present constitutional
provisions on that subject2 If so isn't
that Just a little " revolutionary y
