side and fell upon the West Virginia
Central railway track, ina "cut" between
Chatfee and Blaine. This work train
with a crew of twelve men was dis
patched to the spot to move the obstruc-
tons and clear the track. A large cable
was placed around the rock and attached
10 the engine that it might be dragged
from the cut. All was nearly ready
and the men were making a final ad-
justment of the rope when a Areat mass
Of earth came rushing down upon them
from the steep mountain side and buried
seven of the men from sight. Their
Mortified companions rushed to their
rescue, and as speedily as possible ex-
humed the ill-fated ones. Two were
dead when taken out. One has died
since and three were seriously or fatally
injured.

A Lighted Match Dropped In Causes an
Explosion-StilI burning.
SHELBYvILLE, Ind, March 17.-About
five weeks ago the family Of Mr.. John
Cross, farmer living about twelve
miles north of this place, were surprised
to find the water in their well, which
was about twelve feet deep, so muddy
as to be unfit for use. A day or two
ago Grant Cross, a young brother of Mr.
Cross, raised the covering of the well,
and while peering down dropped a
lighted match. A tremendous explosion
took place, burning the boy so severely
that he is now under the care of DR.
Pierson, of this place.
The report of the explosion was heard
distinctly for over half mile. Thurs
day morning the well was covered with
boards and mud, and one-inch gas
pipe inserted, which, upon being lighted,
burned to the height of six feet, and
continues to burn without diminution.
This well is one and one-haf miles from
the gas wells at Fountaintown, which
would preclude the theory that shooting
the wells here caused the flow in this

echoed around the outlet from midnight

The government, 80 far as known, had

Burbank, IN command Of a small force
of United States regulars at Oklahoma
City, marched his force into the strip
Thursday night to stay the progress of
the boomers, having been SO ordered by

On entering the strip the cattle grazing

before the invaders from the north, where
they were met by the boomers who were
coming in from Oklahoma. Between
these two fires they were driven east and
west. Arriving on the strip the settlers
disembarked from their schooners and

The Experiments in America Being

LONDON, March 1.-THE experiments
now being conducted in America with
new varieties of smokeless powder are
being watched in Europe with great in
terest. Governments here have spent
immense sums to produce the much de-
sired vehicle of slaughter, but though
each desires to impress its rivals with
the idea that it possesses the formula for
producing a superior article, all military
men well know that all snokeless pow
der yet made has serious defects which
detract greatly from its practical use.
1t cannot be kept any length of time
without deteriorating, and the fumes
produced by its ignition render the firer
SO sick and dizzy that his value as factor
in warfare after few rounds cannot be
very mighty estimated Attaches of the

have received instructions to report
minutely the results Of the trials.

of the strike will be still more seriously
felt in the United States in a few weeks
than it is at present. The aggravating
delays suffered by the passenger steam
ers of some of the most popular lines
have alarmed the ship owners and again
we have heard the project discussed Of
transferring the passenger traffic, at

The leaders of the strikers have vir-

what we can do if we feel so Inclined
and what we will do unless our de-
