PEELED to jump from the train
after it had gained speed of fifteen miles
an hour or more, We had carried bundle
to the same train, and we were afterwards
told that a baby was in it, but whether we
carried the yougster head or heels up, we
don't know. We handed the bundle to the
good hearted conductor, and he deposited
it in the arms of its owner, Five minutes
later we met the noble fellow and entirely
forgetfu of himself, and addressing him
self to us personally, who didn't know
whether the bundle we had carried had
been delivered with live baby in it or a
dead one-he expressed himself in this
manner: "My dear SIR said he, "you are
a Gods blessing to the poor and helpless.
OF the two hundred passengers on the
train, you are the only one whose sympa-

From the Public Ledger Philadelphia March T., 1880
A few days ago the papers contained AN
announcement of the death of Mr.. John
Rice, al the age o. go years with an asSur.
ance on his life in some four or five life in
surance companies amounting in the az.
gregate to some $4,000 In early life Mr..
Rice was esteemed a rich man, and, we
suppose, was. Reverse OF fortune, however,
came before death. but not before he had
taken the precaution TO insure his life, for
he leaves children and grandchildren, who,
but for his care in this respect, would be
dependent or others. Among the several
insurance companies insured in by Mr..
Rice was the Equitable Life for 10000.
Day before yesterday the company was
duly notified of Mr.. Rlce's death. and yes
terday we were shown the company's
check, in favor Of the heirs for the full
amount due on the policy, namely, $9,541
the full face of the policy, less dis
count for 50 days and balance Of years
premium. This prompt payment is the
thing We desire to call special attention TO.

men are in the pit. 1t is known that
some are alive.
La.er-The explosion in Seaman Col
liery occurred at 2.30 o'clock this
morning. Mr.. Stratten, resident Of

was found that all three shsfts of the
mine we're blocked. The cages being
fastened in them, Strstto3, with a rope
around his body, descended to the main,
and heard men talking, he thought about
twenty. They ore considered safe. There
is no reason as yet to believe the pit is on
fire, but it is feared the bulk of the men
have been killed. The number in the pit

who were in the pit at the time Of The
explosion, are safe.
The owner of the Seaman MINI

are for about 120 men. The men known
to be alive have not yet been reached

HORRIBLE HOLOCAUST.
Fleeing FROM Fierce Flames,


Upton, Quebec, 8.-ORe of the most
terrible occurrences in the history of this
section was fire which swept through
portion Of this villsge on Monday, carry
ing ruin and death in its track, both to
man and beast. Bush fires have been
numerous for some time, and little at
tentien was given TO them. a high wind
on Monday famed the flames until the
inhabitants, about o'clock, saw with
dismay q ball of flames come towards
them with steady sweep, as fast as q
man could run, and swallowing up
everything in its course. By O'Clock
the first farm house hsd been
reached, and the fire ran along
the rail ferces burning grain, and
the wind sent the sparks in all
directions. So quickly was one farm
house and another eHVeloped that men,
women and children had barely time to-
escape out of its line. As night drew on
the flames increased in volume, while the
wind rose, and for the spacs Of alb ut
twelve miles in length and in width from
three to four miles The eye rested upon
nothing but roaring flames. Families
came flying into the village proper shiv-
ering in seanty dress Children shrieked
ia their terror. Cattle ran heller Ekelier,
and many were burned TO death. Forest
after forest was swept awsy. The smoke
and flames were in one compact volume
some six miles long, and measured rs far
as the eye could see in width. From
st. Heiena, st. Gulliams and other
roads csme fugitives in some in
stances compelled TO abandon the We
hicles ard take to the horses backs. Men
were obliged to thow away their coats in
order to save their lives. House after
house, and barns filled with the best
crops known for years were licked up,
and when the fugitives were all counted
it was four that there were eleven per
sons missing, not one of whom, it was
thought, would escape, but towards
