A MINE EXPLOSION IN FRANCE.

Another terrible colliery disaster is re-
ported from the district of It, Etienne. An
explosion of fire damp occurred in one of the
pits in which 800 miners were at work. The
coal pit at st. EtIenne In which the explo-
sion Of fire damp occurred is still on fire.
Many bodies have been recovered, but the
work is attended with great difficulty and
danger. The scene at the pit is narrowing.
President Carnot has ordered that measures
be at once taken for the relief of the fami-
lies of the dead miners.
Fourteen miners were rescued with great
difficulty. They were nearly dead. The
number of the dead is now estimated at 1856.
Money for the relief of the sufferers is ar
riving from all parts. Ministers Constans
and Guyot left Paris for the scene of the
disaster to adopt relief measures.

THE LARGEST CITY.

There are now within the city limits oJ
Chicago an area of l74i square miles, in
Guiding all OF Calumet Lake, part of Wolf
lake and considerable swamp lands. The
area before was 43i square miles. 1t will thus
be seen that the enlargement is equal to
about three times the original area. The
eastern boundary Of Chicago is now Is
miles in length. The western is still more
extensive, being "a miles long. The widest
point east and west extends l04 miles. The
narrowcst point is the southern end, which
Is miles.

GLOOMY VIEW.

President John Mcbride, OF the National
Progressive Association of Miners and Mine
Laborers, gives q gloomy view OF the con-
dition OF the coal mining industry. Hesays
the miners have but little work now in any
State even in the Pittsburgh district, where
greater quantity OF coal is mined in sum
mer, the miners have short work, and the
same is true in Ohio. The miners in North
ern Illinois who are idle because they re-
fused to accept reduction in wages are re-
ceiving aid. There are about 1000 NJ p. U.
miners in Illinois, and about 1900 in Indi-
ana, unemployed

HUNDREDS HOMELESS.

cELRBRAroRs BURN CITY WITH Fu!s woExs-
HUNDREDS HOMELESS.
Ten blocks of the best portion II Ellcns-
burg w. T., are in ashes. 1t is presumed
that the fire was the result Of the celebration
of the national holiday, as it began soon AZ
ter the Inauguration Of the display of fire
works last evening. The flames stated on
the north side of the city about 10 o'clock in
the evening, and with very strong wind
blowing from the northeast.
The fire department, which
was promptly called out, could do nothing
10 check the rapid advance Of the conhagra-
ton. Within an hour the fire had spread
to the business center. Help was telegraph
cd for from the neighboring towns, but long
before it could reach the scene the flames
had literally wiped out the heart of the city
and had commenced TO spread among the
residences on the south side. 1t was not un-
ill the main portion of the food for the fire
had been consumed that there were any
signs Of abatement.
Theloss rs estimated is about s2,0J00)0,
three.qusrters of million in buildings and
one and a quarter in goods The only stores
left are four. There is not restaurant ho-
tel or boarding house left, and there are
about 80 people destitute.

BAD YEAR For RoAps.-According TO the
figures of the Railway Age published, the
amount of mileage and capital involved in
railways that have gone into the hands of re-
eevers during the six months just ended ex.
ceed the aggregate for any similar period
since the disastrous year OF
1885. There were eight roads
thus bankrupt, with total
length of 2,69O miles, and an apparent in
vestment of si25, $40, 900. The st. Louis, Ar
kansas & Texas, the International & Great
Northern, and the Chicago & Atlantic make
up the bulk of the bad showing. Railway
foreclosures during the six months were
also eight in number, which would not be
an important exhibit were it not that the
mileage of the roads aggregates 1875, and
the bonds and stock s92, ,673 900. Nearly two
thirds of the totals, however, were furnished
by one company, the Wabash.
