The Richmond State on Saturday after
noon burst upon the public with ''Con-
federate edition" of twenty pages. 1t was
a specimen Of keen scented appreciation of
passing public thought, an industrious re-
search, and modern dash, that was a journal
istic victory of the first order. 1t is an
edition well worth preserving for it's his
torical value, for it goes over the whole
field, even that Of sentiment-for it gives all
the old Confederate songs of the war time.

Spokane Falls was the scene Of ter
rible disaster on Saturday evening by a
premature blast in the Northern Pacific
yards, which killed eighteen men and posi-
bly, more. 1t was just before the hour of
quitting work. A large force of men were
engaged in blasting ont u huge rock pit in
the Northern freighs ,iasSS in the eastern
part OF the city. From atty 10 seventy
five men were at work in :.os cut at the
time. Fifteen were taken out dead, u
number injured, and still others came out
alive. Some of the workmen were pre-
pairing blasts to be touched off after tho
other workmen and teams had departed
for the night. One blast had been pre-
pared. In the second it was exploded the
jar also touching off the first blast.
Twenty thousand cubic feet of rock
was thrown over upon the unsuspecting
mass of humanity, with terrible results.
Hundreds of people soon gathered at the
scene and the work of taking out the dead
and injured begun.
There are yet twenty-seven men unac-
counted for, all of whom are probably
buried beneath the mighty mass of rock.
The fatality was terrible. The men were
given no chance for life. 1t was either

The men were working in cut leveling
off the ground for the new freight yards.
The cliff of rock on the side of the cut
which was being blasted was 20 feet high.
The blasts are so arranged that the rock is
thrown toward the cut. Not anticipating
the blast, about so men were under the
cliff when the blast exploded. A great
mass of rock and earth raised in the air
and pitched over into the cut, buryirg the
men beneath its awful weight. None OF
them had time to run but few escaped in
miraculous manner. Over 100 men
were at work in the adjoining cuts, and at
once were on the scene of the terrible ac-
cldent, and began with pick and shovel to
hunt for the buried bodies. From all
over the huge mass of rock groans and
shriells issued, and the air was filed with

engine plowed right through the street cars

stopped as quickly as possible, but not
until it had tumblcd the motor against the

Whipping Caused Death.

In the Jennie Webb case at Pom tiac
Friday, DR.. Gailbraith, who attended
frankie Cook after the whipping, testi-
fled TO the general condition Of tho boy.
On being asked what caused death he re-
piled paralysis" and to the question Of
what caused the paralysis he promptly
replied 'the whipping"
Going into the details he said the back
of the boys legs were so muched bruised
that it was impossible to pick out any one
mark, as the whole was a great discolora-
ton. The marks on the front of the legs
were not as thick. The doctor was cross
examined but the defense could not
shake his testimony.
