caase of the Calamity.

Snnday WAS the szddess Easter Sun day in the history of Rich Hill, Mo, owing 10 the funeral services and burial Of several of the victims Of the late mine disaster. No authoritative record Of the number of miners in the exploded mine could in any way be secured. New men were constantly being em- ployed in place of those more ex- perieneed, who feared. the danger Of this mine, and it was not unexpected news when word came in sunday eve ming that two more dead bodies had been found, the search having been continued after it was reported that all the missing had been recovered The death-rou now numbers twenfy-slx and there may te more bodies found. The corOner's jury will continue their work Of examining witnesses, and State Mine Inspector M. L. Wolfe will be summoned to testify. Your cor respondent learned from an ex- perieneed miner and one well zcquaint- ed with this particular mine that, which may create a sensation, but may prove satisfactory explanation Of all this horror. The evidence, ii is said, will develop the fact that. no time since the February fire in this mine. wheE 1t was flooded to extinguish the same, has the fire been put out, but that in one of the west entries the smouldering fire WAS banked, herme.i- cally sealed, and in this way has been manufacturing carbursted hydrogen gas around which an entry was being driven to eventually cut 1t of and thereby prevent the deadly gas produc- ing process. This gas when mingled with air, is very explosive, and IL is conjeetured that the shock created In blasting the entry way around this hidden furnace caused break. letting the pent-up gas into the mine, causing the explosion and it's terrible results
 The two Rich Hin fire companies were out in uniform at the burial Of one Of their dead comrades, Col. Nep- tune, killed in the mine.
 some of our best citizens are members of the jury, and they are determined to unearth all the evidence relating 10 the cause Of this great disaster, let the blame fall where 1t may.

An Opportunity for the People Of bel

In Baltimore one OF the most rapidly growing
enterprises of the last few years, and one of the
most appreciated as well has been the install
ment Business. Its great advantage and benefits
especially to the medium and poorer classes, can
not be overestimated. Formerly people in ordi-
nary circumstances were compelled to do with
out great many necessary comforts of life; that
is their houses were scantlly furnished and only
because they could not at any time raise suiii-
Gent cash money to properly furnish Them
What little furniture they had. was of the poor
est and cheapest class and never made respGcta-
BILE appearance, or gave any satisfaction. Now
on the lnstalment Plan any honest person, no
matter what his or her circumstances are, no
matter how poor or how rich, can get anything
in the way OF Furniture, Carpets, Stoves, Crock
cry, Refrigerators, Baby Carriages, parlor Or
Rans, &C., in fact any or everything necessary to
furnish the Home complete from cellar 10 attic,
they can get all these by simply paying small
amount cash down and the balance on small
monthly payments, which are made to suit their
circumstances and are always made so low that
the money will hardly be missed. This plan has
become so popular in all the larger cities that
over two-thrds of all the people now purchase
their household goods that way,-in fact all ex-
cepting the extreme wealthy classes. Now the
people of Bel Air never have had this oppOrtuni-
ty offered them. so the Peoples Instalment Com
pany, llg and 10Y N. Howard Street. between
Fayette and Lexington Streets, Baltimore, the
largest and best conducted and most reliable In
stalment house in Baltimore, have decided to
allow any resident of Bel Air or immediate vic-
nifty, the same advantage as the people of Balti
more now enjoy; that is to sell them anything
which they may desire to have in the lnstalment
Plan at lowest cash prices and make terms of
payments low enough to suit any ones cOnve-
nence. This House not only sells everything in
the way of.Furniture, Carpets, Stoves, Refrgera-
tors, Baby Carriages, Crockery, Cutlery, House
Furnishing Goods, Parlor Organs. ETC., but also
carr es a complete stock of Silks, Velvets,
Foreign and Domestic Dress Goods, Ladies
Cloaks and Wraps, Millinery, Gents, Youths
Boys and Childrens' Clothing, Shoes, Hats,
Watches. Jewelry, etc. I'm fact they are general
outiitters and are the only House in Baltimore
where wearing apparel as well as furniture too,
can be bought on the Instalment Plan at Cash
Prices and very easy terms of payment. This
House will always be glad to have the people of
chasing or not, will be glad to have them look
through their immense Warehouse and ret FIJI
particulars regarding Terms, etc. Any intorma-
ton desired by mail will be promptly furnish
