The White Elephant,

Mr.. Barnum's white elephant, il ap.
pears, Is not white at ali, but Is OF a
dirty pink color, not attractive to the
eye in search of cleanly harmony. 1t
is thought among showmen that the
animal will prove one Of the greatest
drawing cards ever seen In America.
These elephants are said TO be extremity
delicate, and the utmost care will have
TO be taken Of this specimen II he Is TO
be kept through the season alive. II ia
not generally known that Prot. Ogden
Doremus at one time seriously under.
took the task Of bleaching one Of Mr..
Barnum's elephants, In order that it
might be sent through the country az a
genuine specimen of the sacred white
elephant Of the East. The experiment
ultimately ended in failure, for the
reason that the treatment Administered
by Prot Doremus proved injurious TO
the elephants health. Wherever the
keepers touched him through his course
OF training, ulcers came to the surface,
and the treatment had to be abandoned
In order TO save his life.

A Good Suggestion.

The attention of farmers and others
interested is called to the following sug-
gestion by the Smyrna Times:

the time when it may be killed, went

partridge, rabbit, etc, that Is hereafter

TERRIBLE NINE EXPLOSION,
Probably Over FtHy .seven JAvss
Lost.

| DENVER, Colorado, January M.-A
despatch TO the Time, from Gunilison
says: CAT s o'clock this morning a
| terrible explosion occurred at Crested
Butte, in this county, in the coal mine
of the Colorado Coal and Iron Com.
pany.
There are 56 men yet in the mine, and
as the entrance to the mine is blocked
up they cannot be reached. They are
all supposed to he dead. The explosion
was of such force as to wreck the engine
house, which stood fully 100 feet from
the entrance of the mine.
LATER PARTICULARS.
DENVER, Colorado, January H.-The
explosion was one of the most appalling
In its consequences that ever occurred
in coal mine in this country. Crested
Butte, near which the mine IL located,
Is coal town thirty miles north Of
Gnnnison, on the Denver and Rio
Grande Railroad.
The explosion occurred in either
chamber or 2, just half an hour after
the force Of 81 men had gone to work.
Ten were at work in the chamber. Four
of these escaped unhurt, except one
man, John Angus, who was In the pas
sageway, just outside the chamber.
Hei IL badly burned, but will recover.
Fifty-seven men were at work In
cham bers and 2. These are all thought
TO have perished. The explosion was
ofsuch force as to com pletely barricsde
the main entrance, and the appliances
for supplying air, located near, were
badly wrecked, and the roof of the
tramway was blown off.
The men at work on the anthracite
mesa, the night force of the Colorado
Coal and Iron Company's mine, and the
citizens generally, have been working
hard to rescue the men, although it is
thought that none of them can possibly
escape alive. The town hall has been pre-
pared tor the reception of the dead. As
soon as possible the fan was repaired
and put to work pumping air into the
mine, and men were set to work to re-
move the Instructions 80 as to reach
he chambers to get the bodies ous.
