FIRE.DAMP.
Terrible Explosion bv which Many
Miners are supposed TO be Killed.

Terrible Explosion bv which MANY
Miners are supposed 90 be Killed.
A dispatch from Wheeling, West Virginia,
Of the 2lst says: An explosion Of fire damp
occurred in shaft Of the Newburg Orlel Coal
company, Of Newburg, w. Va, which shook
the buildings In the immediate vicinity and
caused CONSERVATION and alarm among the
relatives and friends of the miners employed
there. Immediately following the sound OF
the explosion a flame Of fire arose from the
mouth of the shaft and timber and debris of
all kinds were strewn around. Great excite
ment ensued and crowds Of people hurried TO
the scene. The shaft in which the explosion
occurred was sunk about two years ago, and
has reached a depth of $50 feet from the base
Of the shaft The main heading runs out
about half mile from where the narrow
rooms diverge from either side The theory is
advanced that fire-damp had accumulated In
one Of these rooms and was accidentally ig-
nited by miners lamp, but nothing positive
is yet learned. The force Of the explosion
blocked the air so close that no one
would venture in the main heading TO ascertain
the fate Of the imprisoned men until an air
passage could be established. This work Is
being pushed vigorously. Up to midnight no
bodies had been recovered. II Is supposed 81
men are imprisoned. The prevailing opinion
Is that all are dead, although few express the
hope that some OF them have escaped the ef-
feet Of the explosion and have been able TO
reach place free from the fatal black damp
which always follows an explosion OF this
Kind

FATAL SNOW SLIDE.
Fearful Loss of Life in the Mountain
Passes Of Colorado.

An Aspen, Colorado, special says: The
Maroon Pass road has been the scene of fear
full loss OF life during the recent storm. The
horrors show the pass to be snow bound
tomb. While men were hunting for the bod
les word was received of another further up
the canon. The avalanche struck the latter
place at midnight Clayton Gannett Sol
Camp, Charles futile, Martin Riley, Jap
Farris, August Goodwin, AL Sans and Martin
Patterson were asleep in a cabin which was
supposed to be safe, as it was built In grove
of heavy timber, but when the slide came
down 1t snapped the trees as though
they were pipestems, hurting them against the
cabin and crushing every thing to mass.
Martin Riley and,A. Goodwin had their backs
broken, and Riley suffocated. When the
slide struck the timber it divided, part rush
ing across the Gulch, burying a cabin
on the opposite side occupied by three
men without injurlug them. These men
worked their way out and started to rescue
theim. After cutting through numberless fall
en- trees, they effected an entrance the cabin
and found three dead, and the other five suf-
fering terribly from suffocation. Sol Camp
lay on his face dead. His dying commissions
meath him. He had sustained a cut on the
head from which the blood flowed profusely.
He became terribly thirsty, and being
in position where he could hold his
hands under his bleeding head and lift
them to his mouth, he quenched his thirst by
his own blood. All the mea alive were nearly
crazy when found. All were undressed and
had bitten themselves hands and arms in their
delrium and presented q sckening spectacle.
They will all recover, but the case of one or
two is extremely doubtful.
When the flood came down several hundred
families had to leave home, but have mostly
moved back. The mails for San Francisco are
sent by way Of Deming. There is much dam
age in the surrounding country, especially
about Riverside The Southern railroad, be-
tween Cotton and San Diego is washed out
worse than for two years and badly cut up in
the canon pass. Though trains are expected
to run soon. Six bridges are gone In the VI
entity Of San Bernardino, and it may be six
weeks before trains are run to Riverside.

Burning OF tho County House ~
Jackson, Meth. Five Lives Lost.

jackson, Mich, Dispatch: The county
house here, burned at o'clock on the morn
Ing OF the 23th. There were forty inmates, all
of whom escaped but five, who persisted in the
flames. Their remains were brought to the
city, The people who persisted were: Dolly
Martin, aged sixty, insane, an inmate twelve
years; Kate Avery, aged 20, insane, inmate
10 years; Jane Atkins, aged 20, insane, inmate
10 years; Zina Boynton, aged 90 years, deaf;
Chas. Elliot, aged ", blind. The building Is
situated in u lonely spot about four miles from
the city. 1t was recently built at a
cost Of $4,000. The fire caught
in some unknown manner In the
inmates kitchen. The whole interior was
destroyed. The thermometer at the time reg
istered ten degrees below. All the inmates lost
their clothing and fed into the snow in a
naked condition. Thirty paupers were brought
to the city and housed. Some OF them will die
from exposure. John Doherty, the hired man,
brought three Of the insane down a fire es-
cape in his arms and saved their lives. An
imbecile boy, nineteen years old, was found in
bed, the fire falling on his back, and rescued
by means OF fire escape, There were only
two men besides the inmates about the place
when the fire broke out and they rescued the
inmates before help arrived William Mills,
one Of the inmates, was the first TO issue San
ders' spelling book. He was at one time worth
quarter of o million dollars.

A LARGE New York society which has
had charge of 1881 poor people, espe-
cially children, during the past vera,
reports that their torment and trial are
the large boys. The selfishness of the
trades unions prevents numbers of these
from learning-trades, and the farmers
do not like large boys, as they know
nothing of farm work and are liable to
have bad habits.

BEAUTY IN SLEEP.

The Mask Craze That Is Running in New
York-A Husbands Mistake.
IN. Y. Cor. Albany JournalJ
A thousand women sleep masked every
night in this city. That is an estimate;
but is based on facts that make it entirely
trustworthy. In one of the streets given
over to retail trade in women's decoration,
from the harmless necessary calico to the
vain superfiuous satin, from essential COW
erings of feet with shoes to overlayings of
faces with cosmetics, there hangs q sign
board which tells that toilet masks are
sold up stairs. On entering found that
traffic was actually going on. The arti-
Gle of humbug was a pliable mask, made
seemingly of cloth impregnated with an
oily unguent, and meant to be worn ON the
face during bedtime, with the expectation
that it would improve the complexion.
The false visage was in a great variety of
features and sizes, so that any woman
could get snug fit, the idea being that
the skin of the entire face should come into
close contact with the supposed medica-
ment. The probability is that such
sweating of the skin readily pro-
duces softness and smoothness, though
exposure to the cold might easily chap the
tender surface, and thereby more than
spoil the gain. I learned to q certainty
that about two thousand masks had been
sold within week, and il is fair to believe
that with so many distributed, at least a
thousand women are nightly using them.
