BURNED TO DEATH.
A. Fatal Explosion in a Coal Mine.
An Accumulation Of Fire Damp in a Coal
Shaft ExpIodes, Burning Three
Men Severely and One
Fatally.

Yesterday morniHga horrible and fatal
accident occurred at the coal shaft OF the
Chambers brothers, at Elm Grove, by which
James White, the foreman, was so severely
burned that ne Wilde, and three others
we're seriously injured. The accident was
caused by that dreaded fire damp, OF which
all miners stand in such deadly fear, and
to which the majority of the terrible mine
accidents may be traced. 1t seems that
shor time ago, chamber at the bottom OF
the shaft cayed in and the entrance to it
blocked I'D, cutting it off from the corridor.
Yesterday morning, Messrs. VIM. Cham.
hers. Robert Green, James Gender and
lanes White went into the shaft to open
this chamber Their work was lighted by
their miners lamps as usual When the
rock was cleared away from the mouth OF
the chamber, the men learned, too late,
that the cavity had become filled with
the dreadful fire damp. Scarcely
had an opening been made, when
TERRIFIC EXPLOSION
occurred. Only those who have seen 1t
can realize the force of such an explosion.
1t drove everything before it like chat,
bursting out from the chamber like solid
wave of flame. Coal cars standing near
were hurled violently away, and even the
bottoms torn out. The tramway was up.
rooted and scattered, and the picks and
instruments blown away like dust. James
Wintle, who was directly in front OF the
opening, received the full force OF the eX.
piosion. Burned and blackened, he was
HURLED AGAINST THE OPPOSITE WALL
with terrible force. The other three,
though less directly in the pathway OF the
explosion. were thrown violently back,
blinded and burned by the rush of flame.
All three were severely and seriously
burned about the face and breast, but were
able to rush wildly out of further danger.
The noise of the explosion and the sight
of the smoke ascending from the SHAFT
brought rescue very quickly. The three
slightly injured men were taken to their
homes and medical aid rendered by the
Drs Crac :. The fourth victim, James
Wintle, W out IN an uhcousS'V"S
condition found
LITERALLY BURNED TO A CIHDER.
The flesh was but hanging to him in shreds
and his clothing was burned entirely away.
The life was cinging to him by very
slender thread and death was momentarily
expected to relieve him. He regaired con-
seriousness only to awake to the most ex-
cruciating torture and agony. Drs. era.
craft attended him and did the utmost to
tighten his sufferings, but did not think he
could possibly survive the terrible acct
dent. Probably as this is being written
death has already released him.
The little town of Elm Grove was thrown
into the
widest EXCITEMENT
by the accident and the shaft was visited
by many persons during the day. Miners
know too we'll the danger which turks in
lire damp and they, with others extend
their sympathy to the family of the unfor-
tunate man.

HIS MOTHERS TOUCH.

DIR. Franklin denied the existence OF
such sense as parental or tilla instinct.
lIe based his conclusion on his own
experlence-at the time he visited his
mother, after years OF absence, and tho
old lady did not recognize him, though
AT the intercession Of her gentlemen
dodgers with whom she spent the even
ing, the stranger stayed all night.
Belief in such an instinct is, however, q
pleasant one, and the evidence for II Is
sufficiently ample 20 make It's existence
at least probable. Frank Moore relates
this affecting instance Of dying sons

In one Of the fierce engagements near
Mechanicsville, a young lieutenant OF
a Rhode Island battery had his right

leg. lie telegraphed home, hundreds
of mikes away, that all was gong well,
and with a soldiers fortitudo composed
himself TO bear his suileIings alone.
Unknown to him, however, his moth
er, who had read the report OF his
wound, was Fastening TO see him. She
reached Washington at midnight and
the nurses would have kept her from
seeing her son nutiI morning.
One sat by bis side tanning him, ~
he slept, her hand on the feeble fuctu-
ating pulse. But what womans heart
could resist the pleadings OF n mother,
then' In the darkness she was finally
allowed TO glide in and take the place
at his side.
She touched his pulse as the nurse
had done. Not word had been spoken;
but the sleeping boy opened his eyes
and said -
That feels like my mothers hand,who
is beside mel II is my mother Turn
up the gas and let me see mother.
The two dear faces met in one long,
joyful, sobbing embrace.
The gallant fellow, just twenty ono

OF his three years service, underwent
operation after operation, aud at last.
when death drew nigh, resigned him
