more occurred. At 10 o'clock this
morning considerable smoke was COM
ing from the shaft, and as the black
smith-shop. carpenter-shop. saw-mill, ma
chine-shop and foundry-all wooden build
ings except the latter-are close by, the serv-
ices of the New Glasgow steam fire-engIne
was obtained to try if possible to save these
buildings in case of fire, and also to pour
stream Of water into the burning pit. A
large number were standing about the works
looking on, and the fremen were engaged In
moving the steamer into position, when just
at 1890 another explosion occurred, and an
immense 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 to this time all
seemed quiet about the hosting and
pumping shafts, which are $50 yards from the
fan shaft; but at 1850 another immense vol
ume Of aarker-colored smoke came from the
fan shaft, and also from both the hoisting
and pumping shafts. A few minutes later
the smoke from all shafts had.ceased. and the
air appeared to be drawn down. and as this
sucking in is symptom of another explosion
the people ran and put themselves in place
of safety. In few minutes another dense
volume of somoke came forth, but was ac-
companied by no noise. 1t 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 danger.
Great fears are entertained that the whole
workings of the Ford pit will be destroyed,
though efforts are now being made by large
gang of men, who are at work digging a
trench, to let into the mine the water from
the river, which is close by. This is the last
resort, and it will take a good while to get
sufficient water in to drown the fire. 1t is
hoped that the fire may be confined to the
Ford pit and prevented from extending to
the workings of the Cage pit, situated half a
mile west of the Ford pit. The former is
connected with the latter by 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 mum.
Der over 500 Other and more serious ex-
plosions may occur at any time. The greatest
excitement exists.
The Trouble In Ireland.
LONDON, November 14th. The Observer
has reason to believe that the Ministry do
not contemplate any immediate exceptional
measure for the preservation of peace in Ire
land, but intend to defer action until the
meeting of Parliament, which may be ex-

Hc bot. OuWto ou-cttt, III q icobAiiS ohi
torial yesterday evening, expressed q fear
that the Ministry are driven, or being driven,
toward legislation creating peasant pro-
prietory throughout ireland, probably with
view to extending its operation to the rest of
the United Kingdom later on. The ultimate
means will probably be the purchase of land
by the State and its distribution to the peas
antry, to be paid for in certain terms of
years. Nothing short of this will be accepted
By the Irish agitators.
