fBifi Nye, In New York M~efrury.1
Two delegates to the Grand Convoca-
ton of the Sons of Ice Water we're sit
ting In the lobby of the Windsor, in the
city Of Denver, not long ago, strangers to
each other and to everybody else. One
came from Huerferno county and the
other was a delegate from the Ice Water
Encampment of Correjos county.
From the beautiful billiard hall came
the sharp rattle of ivory balls, and in the
bar-room there was a glitter of electric
light, u glass and French plate mirrors.
Out of the door came the merry laughter
of the giddy throng, favored with fra
grant Havana smoke and the delicate odor
| of lemon and mirth and pine apple and
cognac.
l. The delegate from Correjos felt lonely,
and he turned to the Ice Water represen-
tative from Huerferno:
ssThat was q bold and fearless speech
you made this afternoon on the demon
rum at the convocation."
"Think so?" said the sad Huerferno
man.
Eyes, you entered into the description
of runs maniac till l could almost see
the red-eyed centipedes and tropical
hornets in the air. How could you de

that l am free from it. l shall neve

/ When he said this he looked up at tn
8 other delegate, and they looked into eac
) others eyes earnestly as though eac
would read the others soul. Then tn
r Huerferno man said:
SIN fact, l never did care much fo
e rum"
/, Then there was a long pause.
Finally the Correjos man ~ventured
"Do you have to use an antidote t
cure the thirst?"
e ayes, I've had to rely on that a goo

"Yes, I've got some up in 1872 l-2.
o you'll come up I'll give you a dose"
"There's no rum In it, is there!"
e sNo."
Then they went up the elevator. Tit
did not get down to breakfast, but at dir
ner they stole in. The man from Hue
ferno lodged nervously through tt
q archway leading to the dining-room
though he had doubts about gettiI
through so small a space with his au!

looked like one who had wept his ey

To the Northwest and the Far West.

No highway of travel has received more
flattering notices from the public than the
Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railway,
the pioneer short line and the popular route to
the Northwest and the Far West. Whether
ones Mecca be Omaha, St. Paul, Minneap-
oils or Dakota, the different branches oi
this much travelled thoroughfare, or even il
ones destination be to points still more re-
mote it presents. without doubt the great
est advantages to the traveller in his west
ward course. Apart from its excellent road.
bed, its fine coaches asd the grand scenery
through which it passes, its dining ears and
service are probably the most sumptous OF
any railroad in the world. Indeed, the west
ern lines, and notably the Chicago, Milwau-
kce and St. Paul, fairly lead their eastern ri
walls in the matter of comforts administered to
their passengers. So that with statistics to
show ones life is safer in the average railway
train than when sitting in ones home or
when attending to ones legitimate business,
the traveller who places himself under the
guardianship of well regulated railway may
prosecute his journey with a feeling of Sc
curity and comfort as great as when reclining
in his armchair amid his own h,eS ct PsyiateS.
For the benefit of those desiring to emigrate
to Dakota and other localities in the North
west and Far West, the Chicago Milwaukee
& St. Paul Railway Company has published

A TOMB OF FLAMES.
TERRIBLE NINE DISASTER IN
VIRGINIA.

A few minutes past midnight, Thurs
day, the little village grouped around
the mines at PocahOntas Va, was
aroused by terrific explosion, which
shook every foundation and aroused
the sleeping families of the $50 miners
constituting the night force working
underground. Instantly the streets
filled with crowd of screaming wO-
men, children and men rushing for the
mouth of the principal mine on the
southern suburbs. Here dense volume
of smoke was found pouring from the
shaft, and scattered around within a
radius of a quarter of mile were
broken timbers, shattered cars, pulleys
and machinery on all sides. For more
than an hour wild shrieking, and the
louder manifestations of grief from
desperate men, filled the air. The
scene was terrible in the extreme.
Mine houses, buildings and trees sew
eral hundred yards away were COM
pletely torn to pieces, showing that the
force of the explosion must have been
remarkable.
A dense volume of flame soon COM
menced to shoot upward and illumi-
mated the scene for half mile, render
ing the CHASTITY spectacle, which had
heretofore only been viewed by torch
light, ten times more impressive. The
crowd had gathered helpless in little
groups, either discussing the situation
or lamenting the death of some loved
one. 1t was agreed that the explosion
had taken place at Fiat Top mine and
had been caused by fire damp.
The situation remained unchanged
until daybreak, when the horrors be-
came glarlngly apparent. The men
who still retained their composure.
commenced to gather the fragments of
humanity that were scattered about.
These were evidently the limbs Of those
miners who had been working near the
bottom of the shaft at the time of the
accident and were shot upward. Not
one of those unfOrtunates, numbering
about fifty, survived, as ther limbs ly-
ing around broadcast testified. During
the entire day the flames shot up from
the mouth of the mine and it was not
until evening that the smoke showed
signs Of decreasing. 4 party of men
attempted to 60 down when volume
of flame hotupand they were hurriedly
assisted to the surface. One of their
number, an Italian named Carlo Fran
chi, was missing and had evidently
dropped from the cage. All the party
was badly burned and this showed how
fruitless were any hopes of rescue. The
shaft at 8 p. IN. was a roaring funnel of
flame. All the outbuildings in the vi
cinity ignited and the fan house, which
had been looked to as the salvation of
any who might be alive below, caught
also. A shrek of despair went up at
this catastrophe, which was regarded
fatal to all hopes of rescue. The men
fought manfully to save the building,
but without avail. 1t became evident
at this hour that the whole mine was
ablaZe and it is doubtful il it can be
extinguished for weeks if at all. This
settled the fate Of the $50 unfortunates
under ground and they have absolutely
no chance for life.
