savings bank and Bank of Bergen County
both closed yesterday. They are located in
Hackensack, n. j. Examination of the ac-
counts of the cashier, John J. Berry, shows
| defacations in both amounting to 100000
| He is under arrest and is ported sick at
home, from the effects of self-administered
poison. Speculations in Wall street were
the cause.
HALIFAX. n. s., November II. About g. 30
this morning an explosion occurred on the
south side of Ford pit at Stellarton. All
the miners were at work in different bands.
The explosion was terrible as TO sweep
quite across to the other side of the pit, kill
ing men and horses within reach. Almost
all the men on the north side will be saved,
while all on the south side are lost. At least
60 are missing. Full particulars are not vet
known. Five men have been brought up and
are likely TO recover. Probably forty are
shut up with the fallen coal on the south
side. The accident was presumably caused
by some miner firing II shot in Il forbidden
part of the workings.
| \ number of volunteers have been down
the pit at Stellarton and returned, having
found it impossible TO explore the south side
| for anv distance, on account of after damp,
there being no air through the side, al! the
doors had been blown down by the blast.
They found some bodies, but they could not
identity them. All horses in the pit, % in
number, are dead.
The five men who were taken out are in
jured so badly that no hope is enter
aimed of their recovery. The number still in
the pit is said to be A. 1t is feared that
another explosion will occur when the pit
gathers gas again. Work is totally suspended
at all collieries in the county and miners are
| coming to the scene of the accident in
| great numbers, but are altogether powerless
| to render any assistance on account of the
condition of the pit. 1t is not known how
the fire originated. Efforts will be made to
recover the bodies of the missing men as soon
as the pit is considered safe. OF the men in
! the pit 33 were married and some have large
families.
| LONDON, November II. All arrangements
are completed for arrest of Michael Davitt as
| soon as he arrives from New York, as po-
litical convict who has violated his ticket of
leave. His efforts in America in behalf of
the land league have added immensely to
his popularity. If blood has not been shed
by the time the Batavia touches the Irish
coast, this arrest will go very far towards
precipitating open revolt.
