BLOODY FIGHT
Between White and Colored Work

TAO Latter Lay In Ambush and Fire Upon

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Feb. s.-Meager
details of a desperate fight between
white stone-cutters and bridge-builders
and construction hands on the Brier-
field, Blocton & Birmingham railroad,
in Bibb County, Ala, reached here
yesterday. A strike is in progress
among the white worlmen growing out
of differences with the contractors about
the employment OF, colored help, and
personal fights among the whites and
blacks yesterday were frequent. Late
Thursday night, when a body of the
whites were passing through strip
of woods en- route to their quarters,
they were fired on from ambush by n
band of concealed colored men, and
two whites-Dennis Carney and Toney
Bracken-were instantly killed, and Jno.
Bolton, Pat Lawler and VIM. Cunning
ham severely wounded. The colored
men Immediately fled, and, so far as
could be learned, none of them were
hurt. The white laborers organized and
went in pursuit. If the colored men are
caught they will be slaughtered. The
place where the camps are located is fif-
teen miles from any station, and definite
information is very difficult to get.

IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.
The Dsmee Plant Promising to Become
n Rival of Cotton for Cloth Making

~
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10. = Botanist
Porte, of the Department of Agricul-
ture, Is of opinion that a process has
been discovered by which tho Rance
plant can be made into cloth at such
moderate cost that it will soon become
q dangerous rival to cotton. about
month ago, "said Mr.. Porte, in conversa-
ton on this subject, information
reached the department that Mr.. Thomas
I. Mabbett, Providence manufacturer,
had succeeded in doing with Rance
what hundreds,I might say thousands of
others had tried and failed to do-that
is, he had at small cost woven Rance
fiber into cloth. The Rance fiber which
he had thus succeeded in weaving had
been prepared by process discovered
by Mr.. Charles Topham, chemist of
Salem, Mass. Mr.. Topham, by secret
formula, had turned the fiber into sub
stance resembling floss. This floss he
sent to Mr.. Mabbett, at Providence, for
weaving. Mr.. Topham, it seems, had
been experimenting with Rance for
years, like great many other men, and
only succeeded after innumerable fail
ures. was ordered by the Department to
go to New England and investigate the
discoveries of Messrs. Topham 81 Nab

Floods In an English COlltory SRuses u"s
to become Ignltod-Sixty Dead Bodies
Taken Out.
LONDON, Feb. 7.-An explosion occur
red yesterday in colliery at Aber-
sychan, in Monmouthshire, ten miles
northwest of Newport. Three hundred
miners were imprisoned, and for several
hours no communication could be had
with them. An opening was finally eff
fected, and at noon 200 of them had been
rescued. A number Of those taken out
are severely injured. Rescuing parties
are still searching for those remain-
ing in the mine. Up to 4 o'clock yester-
day afternoon forty bodies had been
taken from the mine. Fifty miners
arc still imprisoned. 1t is not known
whether they are dead or alive. The
owners of the colliery estimate that 100
persons have lost their lives by the ex-
plosion. The cause of the explosion
was the flooding of pits adjacent to that
in which the explosion occurred. by
the flooding of these pits gas was dis
lodged and forced into the pit where
work was in progress and there it was
ignited and exploded. There must
have been a great quantity OF
gas as the explosion had tremen-
dous force. 1t was heard at the dis
tance of mile. All the gearing in the
shaft was thrown into the air as if from
the mouth of volcano, and simultane-
ously vast, bright volume of flame
shot upward, followed by a dense,
heavy column of smoke. The first party
of rescuers organized endeavored to
penetrate the pit through the old work.
ings. They got far enough to be able
to see groups of the dead, but they could
not reach them, and were compelled to
retreat by the suffocating volumes of
smoke that rose in that direction. Upon
the first appearance of diminution in
the volume of smoke rescuers went
down the main shaft and reached the
scene of the catastrophe. They rescued
large number of miners yet alive, but
all very badly burned, and they brought
out sixty dead bodies, nearly all so mu-
tilated that the recognition of their
identity is impossible. The latest esti-
mate of the dead is $50.

determined to take some action in the
matter. To determine the nature of
such action an Indignation meeting was
held yesterday. About one hundred
ladies were present, among them
being the wives of some of the
most prominent men in town.
At tho meeting it was decided to break
up the saloons, and the ladies lost no
time in executing the decision. They
proceeded in body first to the saloon of
Thomas Ward. He had notice of the
ladies' intentions and had barricaded
the doors of his saloon. But the cru
saders were not to be stopped by such
obstacles. They battered in the win
dows, broke down the door, demol-
ished the saloon fixtures, rolled
the barrels and kegs into the
