deed very narrowly escaped, and so
overcome were they all that they had to
be covered with earth to free them from
the choke-damp before they recovered
full consciousness. To promote cur
rent of air, streams of water were poured
down the shafts, but long time elapsed
before there was much Improvement in
the atmosphere below. The bodies that
were recovered were terribly scorched
and blackened, and the men who went
down stated that there was every APP
pearance of the explosion having been
so terrible as to justify the worst fears.
Dead bodies were strewn about and
every thing was mass of confusion.
Joseph Gilmour, the hoursman of pit
No. 2, was found dead near the engine
at the bottom of the shaft. The work
of exploration was vigorously prose-
cuted, and up till 80 o'clock in the
afternoon three more bodies were re-
covered. They were brought up by the
No. 2 shaft, near to the bottom of which
they had been seen lying. The bodies
were those of young lads aged from II
to IA, and they presented shocking
sight when brought to the surface. They
were literally incased in mud; the faces
were all blackened and charred. Two
of them, named Bolton and Henry,
were pony drivers, and they were
found lying beside their dead charges.
The third lad was identified as a son of
of man named Gilmour, whose corpse
was removed from the same pit at an
earlier hour.
LATER-NO HOPE.
In spite of the great exertions made
by large bodies of willing workers the
men imprisoned in No. 3 pit have not
yet been reached, and there is not the
slightest hope of their being got at for a
considerable time. Although their fore
knockings and shoutings were in the af-
ternoon heard from below, it is not ex-
pected that a single man in that pit OF
the 107 miners who entered it in the
morning can be got out alive. From
No. pit 20 of the 126 miners employed
in it have been saved, but all the rest
have persisted, so that altogether up
wards of 200 men and boys have met their
death. AS already mentioned, ID dead
bodies have been taken TO the surface,
and further explorations reveal fearful
spectacle at the bottom of the shaft.
No fewer than 40 corpses still lie there,
strewn in all direction within a short
space, burned and mutilated beyond
recognition. 1t was deemed advisable
not to take these bodies to the pit-head,
although that might have been done,
but rather to continue the exertions be-
ing made to reach No. 3 pit.
The feeling produced over the coun-
try by the terrible catastrophe can
hardly be imagined. Soon after the ac-
cident occurred the news had spread
over the whole of Scotland, but from the
very destructiveness of it's character in
the loss of life it was not credited
Thousands of people crowded to the
scene of the explosion during the day,
and those who were observers of the
frantic grief displayed by the widows
and families of the miners will not soon
forget it. There is scarcely household
in Blantyre in which there is not the
deepest mourning for lost relatives, and
the keenest sympathy is felt all over the
country for the bereaved.

Charles H. Hill, speaking in the highest
terms of their scientific value, and of
the desirability of his continuing his
researches.
The plan of the proposed expedition
is clearly defined in Morris's mind He
intends to sail from this city early in
October for Brazil, and to ascend the
Xingu, as has been said. In his last
expedition he reached the head-waters
of the Tapajos, and assembled one of its
main tributaries, the Cururu, for some
distance. The natives told him that the
Cururu was only canal connecting the
Tapajos with the Xingu, and he pro-
poses to determine this point definitely
He believes, however, that the Cururu
does not join the two rivers, but rises
only few days journey from the Kin
gu, so near, perhaps, that the waters of
the two streams may mingle during a
ruru his friends, the Companaries, live,
and he feels certain that they will assist
him in his new undertaking. After ex-
ploring the unknown region through
which the upper Xingu flows, he intends
to go down the Cururu to the Tapajos
and then ascend the branch called the
St. Manuel, which the natives allege to
be the continuation of the main stream.
He thinks, however, that the Ju-
ruena is the largest upper tributa-
ry of the Tapajos, and he may decide to
90 up this stream instead of the st.
In either event, he intends to
penetrate to the great watershed which
lies between the head water of the
Tapajos, Xingu, and Tocantins, and the

Man Missing from Ludlow.

Mr.. John F. Spofford, whose residence
is in the northeasterly part Of Ludlow viii
lage, left home somewhere from eight to
nine o'clock on Wednesday morning, and
up to this writing, Thursday evening"
nothing is known of his whereabouts. The
family consists of only Mr.. s. and his wife.
Mrs. S. was summoned to the bedside of
her dying father, Mr.. Boynton of Andover,
the notice of whose death appears in this
mornings GLOBE, and left home without
seeing her husband. She supposed he had
stepped to some ono OF the neighbors, aud
would soon be back. But 1t appears he
had alreadysdeparted on the journey that,
as yet, has had no return.
The citizens have pretty thoroughly
secured every place where the missing man
would have been the most likely to have
travelled, but without getting any satisfac-
tory clue. The case is wholly unaccount-
able from any point of view. The ques-
ton would seem to be whether he has wan
dered away for no known cause, or whether
he has suicidod for no apparent or suffi-
cient reason; or, what is still more doubt
full, been foully dealt with. A call is out
for citizens to meet Saturday morning and
organize for thorough and exhaustive
search, which it is hoped will result in un-
raveling the mysterious disappearance of
the person in question. Mr.. Spafford must
be at least sixty years Of age, a half brother
of the town clerk, VIM. b. Spafford.

The Berger Family and Sol. Smith
Russell

This company appeared to a good house
at the town hall last evening. We have
no hesitation in saying that it was in every
way the most satisfactory entertainment
offered in Rutland this season. Nothing
like the applause and genuine enjoyment
of their audience has been seen in town
hall for many day. The general features
Of the entertainment are the same as before
given here. Sol. Smith Russell is the
same irresistible humoiist and the same
careful artist he always was, trifle more
perfect. He gave "Shabby gentee" as his
Introductory effort, and fairly suffused
that commonplace old song with pathos,
relieved by irresistably comic touches,
response to an encore he gave ga hearty
laugh" in such way as to set the house
shaking. He also gave "Dorcas Pene-
royal" convulsing the house, and other in
imitable character sketches. Among them
them was an admirable imitation of Cough.
Miss Annie T.. Berger was ill and unable to
appear. The rest of the company gave adj
ditional numbers to those on the programme
and did everything possible TO atone for
the absence of their star. Miss franklin
sang two ballads, both of which received
encores to which she resp' led with
"Comin' thro' the Rye" and 'Sing Birdie,
Sing" One of the most beautiful things
given was bell duet by Miss Morgan and
Mr.. Berger. Miss Emeline Anderson
played an air on number of glasses con-
tanning water. The effect was very pleasing
and received decided encore to which the
lady responded with "Annie Laurie" The
music produced in this way is as pleasing
as it is novel. Two selections were given
with combination of wind and string in
struments, and spirited closing march by
the cornet band. Altogether the enter
tainment was brilliant success and the au-
dience went home in the best of spirits,
and beaming with satisfaction.

whose name is supposed 10 be Charles
Williams, at the office of J. @. Hawkins,

of May, 1877, before p. p. Gibbs, justice
Of the peace, within and for the county of
Rutland, and state of Vermont, whose age
Ia supposed to be eighteen years. Said
body was found lying upon the track of the
Rutland and Burlington railroad, about
three and half miles south of Brandon
station. between the hours of ten
and eleven o'clock in the night of
the twelfth day of May, A. d. 1877,

partially upon his right side, with a
