aoHE ExPLosI0ks AT sTELLEa,
TOA.

A telegram from StslleEton, Nov.
18th, says: Al 10 O'Clock last night
another very heavy explosion occurred,
blowing the roof, gear Of the fan shaft,
timbers and bricks sky high into the
air. Descending, the debris fell on the
work shops, which are In the vicinity,
and the roofs Of the carpenter shop and
boile. house are Tiddled with holes,
some Of them are of immense size. The
noise Of the explosion was heard two
miles. Fortunately no one was injured,
though Ross, engineer Of the fan
engine, and two others working close
by. with difficulty escaped the falling
debris. More explosions were expected
during the night. but although clouds
Of smoke issued from the fan shaft
nothing more occurred. At 10 O'Clock
this morning considerable smoke WA
coming from the shaft, and rs the
blacksmith shop, carpenter shop. saw
mill, machine shop and foundry, all
wooden buildings except the latter, are
close by, the services Of the New Glas-
gov steam FIRE engine was obtained TO
try If possible 10 save these buildings.
In case Of fire, and also 10 pour streams
Of water into the burning shafts. A
largo number Of people were standing
about the works looking on and the
hremen were getting the steamer In
position when, just about 1890 an
other explosion occurred and an i'm
mense volume OF smoke rushed from the
fan shaft high into the air accompanied
by sticks, etc. The spectators scattered
In all directions. Fortunately no one
was hurt. Up 10 this time all seemed
quiet about the hosting and pumping
shafts. which are $50 yards from the
fan shaft, but at 1880 another immense
volume Of darker colored smoke came
from the fan shalt and also from both
hosting and pumping shafts and n few
minutes latter the smoke from all shafts
had ceased and the air appeared TO be
drawn down, and as this sucking In is
a symptom OF another explosion, the
people ran and put themselves into
places OF safety. In 4 few minutes an
other denser volume OF smoke came
forth but accompanied by no noise. II
is fully expected that the fire. which
now must be immense In the mine, will
soon show itself from the mouth OF the
shaft, when all the buildings in the
vicinity will be In the greatest dangers.
Very great fears are entertained that
the whole workings of the Ford pit will
be destroyed, though efforts are now
being made by n large gang of men who
are a work digging n trench to let into
the mine water from the river which
Is close by. This is the last resort. and
II will take a good while to get sufficient
water in to drown the fire. II Is hoped
that the fire may be confined TO the
Ford pit and prevented from extending
TO the workings Of the Cage pit, stu
ated about half n mile west Of Ford pit,
the former is connected with the latter
by u tunnel. Should these works be
destroyed, the effects ON the working
classes connected with the mine will be
terrible, and great misery must result.
The employees Of the company number
over 800. Other and more serious ex-
plosions may occur at any time. Great
excitement prevails.
