A Erightful E1plosion.

NEW YORK, April 30.--An Ashland, Pa,
special says: A fearful explosion has just oc-
CURED at tho Keystone colliery mines, by
which several lives have been lost and num-
her of miners seriously and probably fatally
injured. The explosion was caused by the
sudden collapse of pillar causing an immense
fall of coal. The rush of coal forced down the
gas with such velocity as to cause the explo-
sion. The full extent of the disaster cannot
yet be learned. Great excitement prevails at
the mouth of the mine, where the people have
gathered in large numbers. The terror
stricken families of the miners are there in
great agony and suspense, while the work of
rescuing the injured and taking out the dead
is goingo on,
Charles Tyler, Patrick Regan, and Coney
Walter have been taken out more dead than
alive. Tho dead body of Andrew Jones has
Just been taken out Three others are known
to be killed. A number of others are also
badly burned. Physicians and priests are
hurrying 10 the scene of the disaster.
ASHLAND, PA, April 30,-The bodies of
the unfortunate men were recovered within
an hour Of the explosion. Tho officials at
the mine kept the explosion quiet until all
tho bodies had been recovered, in order to
prevent any needless excitement. The inte-
rior of the mine was considerably damaged
One Of the injured men will probably recover.
Had the men extinguished their lamps when
the pillars ran they would have been able To
escape in safety.

To be sure we have. And three times
out of four the big man can get at our
house better fitting Clothing than he can
have made to order, to say nothing of
what he saves in money and time.
For extra large men we have genteel
Cashmere Suits at $15. A suit made to
order of this kind costs $22.
Genuine Scotch Cheviot Suits at S20
Cost to order no less than $35.
Fine Tricot Suits at $25. Cost $40 per
suit to order.
That is the difference-not guessed at
but just, what we ask for them both
ways.
Beside those we have mentioned, we
have Flannels, Serges, and lots of other
goods. In fact, we carry about as many
extra large sizes as a good many clothing
stores have of all sizes.
We say again, you must not say you
cannot be fitted until you have looked

The Beachamp Trial,

BALTIMORE, April 30.-The Suns special
report of the Beachamp trial at Denton, Caro-
line county, to-day says; The defeuse has
closed its case. The evidence was confined to
rebutting the testimony of the state with re-
gard to the alleged criminal relations be-
tween Mrs, Beachamp and James Ahearn, and
the formers actions and sayings when her
husband died. No elaborate attempt was
made to disprove these charges. The defense
holds that the state failed TO produce other
than inferential evidence, and that that was
not sufficiently strong to necessitatea detailed
contradiction. Several of the witnesses testi-
fed that Miss Tamsey Andrew, state wit
ness had made acknowledgement to them at
variance with her evidence in court, The
state would not accept the proposition Of the
defense TO submit the case without argument,
and Mr., Gibson made the opening speech to-
night. II seems now that a verdict will be
reached before tomorrow evening.

LABoIpS LAMENT.
More Strikes Inaugurated and in Progress
Higher Wages Demanded.

-HtkhcE NhBtb DcnnufhuCus
PITTsBURG, April 30.-The tanners strike
in Allegheny will probably not last much
longer, as signs of weakening are apparent
A number of strikers returned to work to-
day, and it is thought others will soon follow.
Tomorrow is the day set for several strikes
among the coal miners, plasterers, and cigar
makers. The miners claim that the
strike will be general, and that 5000
men will come out, as ordered by the
convention. A popularity of this strike is
that for over a week the majority of the
miners concerned have been working for a
rate against which they will strike to-mor-
row. The cigar makers strike, it is thought,
will be small affair. 1t is stated that out of
fuse the increase demanded, and that only
forty men will be obliged to strike
The stemmers in all the tobacco factories in
Lynchburg have struck. They want an in
crease of wages from 90 to 75 cents per 1000.
The cigar manufacturers at Wilkes-Barre,
Pa, refuse to pay the advance of wages de-
manded by the union, and a general strike is
ordered.
The cigarette makers in New York have
struck for higher wages.
At Albany, N. Y.-All the cigar manufac-
turers have refused to accede to the demands
of the workmen, and the shops are closed.
Forty Hungarians employed at the Reading
iron works, against whom there has been con-
siderable opposition from workmen of all
classes because of their cheap labor, yestesday
became discouraged, went to the company's
Office, drew their wages, and left the city.
They say they were enticed there by immi-
grafton agents.

Gen. Crooks Raid Against Mexican
Apaches.

The secretary of war said to an associated
press reporter last night that tho orders sent
to Gen. Crook on Saturday directing him TO
be careful to observe the convention with
Mexico in relation to the crossing of tho bor-
der by United States troops were issued be-
cause of the reports of Gen. Crooks intention
to make raid across the Mexican line for
the purpose of dislodging band of hostile
Apaches from Arizona,
The agreement with the Mexican govern
ment made in August last, while il permitted
the troops of either country to cross the border
in pursuit of a flying band of marauding In
dians, did not, he said, admit of their remain
ing for the purpose of beginning raids on
resident Indians, or if their crossing for that
purpose, as tho newspaper reports said Gen.
Crook contemplated doing, Consent for
United States troops to cross under such cir
cumstances could only be granted by the
Mexican senate, and pending negotiations to
obtain such consent he deemed it prudent to
suggest TO Gen. Crook the exercise Of caution
in keeping within the limits of the present
agreement. He said the War department was
notified to-day that the telegram sent on Sat.
urday had been forwarded to Gen, Crook In
the field.
