THE MISSOURI MINE DISASTER.

RICH HILL. March 3O.-It was just $40 O'Clock
yesterday afternoon when a low rumbliDg noise
was heard in mine No. g. miles from Rich Hill.
1t was followed by a fearful report which
shook the earth for many miles. Had the explo-
sion occurred q few minutes sooner it would have
lInperlIled the lives OF over a hundred instead
or thirt y-fiye who were In the shaft. The excite
ment was as nothing compared with the
suspense which prevailed Immediate steps
were taken TO rescue the miners who were
imprisoned, and as soon as It was safe
to do So and the fire resulting from the explosion
had been subdued, rescuing party descended
into the SHAFT. Taey had scarcely got to work
when another explosion occurred, and the would

and their recovery IA very doubtful.

slowly, being attended with great danger.

until we get into the mine. The mine was well
ventilated and nothing was lacking In any partic-

David Mckay, general manager for Keith &
Perry. said that IL was possible that the explosion
mad been due to an Oyercharge OF powder.
There were 250 pounds or powder in the
mines and this possibly all became ignited.
He said he had given the mine thorough inSpec-

the management In running the mine and render.

DANGEROUS CONDITION OF THE MISSOURI RIVER ABOVE
SIOUX CITY.


SIOUX CITY.
SIOUX CITY, March 30.-The weather has turned
warmer and the snow Is rapidly netting. Never
theless the water in the Missouri River yesterday
fell about II inches. This is believed to be
the complete closing OF the gorge at the mouth OF
the Sioux River. An OfAcer OF the Milwaukee
Rallroa Co. reports that the water is rushing over
the lowlandS several miles above the gorge. An
examination OF the great gorge shows that the
channel is damned with ice Tor 4 or ) miles. Five
miles below Elk Point, Dak., there Is another big
gorge which Is rapidly augmentfng, and the water
Is running over the bottom Ian is From this eX-
posed locality the farmers have gone TO higher
ground and moved their stock th1ther The flood
on the upper river has not yet reached here, and
the great danger OF the situation is In the prOba-
bility that the gorge will hold fast.

an Inter State Love AHair.


The Hagerstown Globe of last Mon
day says: Mr. VIM. Zeigler, a resident
of Harper's Ferry, W. Va, and Miss
Lucy Long, aged about sixteen years,
of Knoxville, Md, we are informed,
became acquainted on the Fourth OF
July, at Island Park. Since that time,
it is understood, the acquaintance
ripened into an affection that influ-
enced the couple to leave home COW
ertly Yesterday for Hagerstown for
the purpose Of uniting their lives in
marriage. Our information on this
score is that young Zeigler drove to
the residence Of Miss Long, and took
her, presumably, for Il pleasure ride
into the country. They proceeded to
Weverton and thence to keedysville,
where they remained over night. In
the meantime the parents Of the girl
traced her to keedysville, and this
morning Mr.. Long and constable
started in pursuit, arriving at heedys-
Vile "a few minutes after the couple
had taken their departure in the di
rection of BoOnSboro. The daugh-
ter was overtaken near the toll-gate
and the man near WagOner's on a
side road between keedysville and
Boonsboro. The girl was taken back
home. but we were not able TO learn
what disposition was made of the
young man.

Here's a Little Snake Story.

A few days ago Mr.. Archie Hoxton,
who is visiting at Mrs. Andrews near
town, killed black snake that meas
ured feet and inches in length.
Archie noticed that the snake seemed
rather corpulent, so he dissected the
serpent. In its 'fnnards' he found
five young guinea fowls, and two
guinea eggs that were unbroken.
The two eggs were placed under a
hen. and their Matching is anxiously
awaited. Whether they shall yield
guinea fowls or snakes, or whether
the product shall be a startling COM
bination of both, is the question. OF
course We shall let the readers of the
RBGIsTERkn know the result at the earli
est opportunity.
