Last Monday evening a man from
Kansas who has been engaged in
saloon keeping at Salem, furnished con-
siderable fun for the boys. He pro-
ceeded to fill up with benzine, and hav-
among other things, that f66ee.Ssd to bet
ball club could scoop the Red Cloud
boys. While making these assertions
he was greeted with such remarks as
pull down your vest" wipe off your
chin" &c, which made the Kansas
man 'hot," and he proceeded to ex-
press his opinion of Red Cloud people
in general and the base ball boys in
particular in language more forcible
than polite, but when he saw the
sheriff approaching he lit out and all the
small boys in town followed him with
shouts of derision.

TERRIBLE DISASTER.

disasters in Great Britain. The extent OF
the disaster is not yet known, but there
must DE a large loss OF life. such things
are fearfGlly frequent in the European coal
districts. Il was only last July that an eN-
plosion occurred In Monmouth county,
when over hundred miners were killed.

raised az 4 fearful cost OF human life. In
Great Britain. from lS6l to 1875 inclu-

l.GOS.l9J tons OF coal, or about thousand
year. The continental rate OF loss
was still higher In Prussia In lS1i one
of every So persons employed in the coal
mines was killed. against one OF i09 In
England. I'm the coal regions OF the
United states these accidents are complra-
lively rare. either because the workmen
are more careful. or the mines are better
ventilated aud ID uoi produce - much Of
the gas which causes the explosion. The
last explosion in this country occurred At
Eagle mine. near PittSton, Pennsylvania,
November -. l>5i, when eighteen men
were killed. The cause OF these disasters

SWEPT BY FIRE.
CANADIAN VILLAGE BUINEp.-SEvEN-
TN-frvE FAMILIES LoSE THEIR ALL
SEVERAL PERSONS PERISH IN THE FLAMES.

The New York HerdiFs special from
Upton, Province Of Quebec, September 4,
says a fire swept through a portion of this
village Monday, carrying ruin and death
in its track for both man aud beast. The
fire had been lowering about the outskirts
OF the village few days until the wind
reached almost hurricane. This was at
3 p. m. BY o'clock the first farm house
was reached. Fire ran along the rail
fences burning the grain, and the wind
