ANOTHER MINE HORROR.
One Hundred and Thirteen Lives Lost IL
Nova Scotia.

One Hundred and Thirteen Lives Lost in
Nova Scotia.
HALIFAX, N. S., Feb. 23.-The first
great disaster in the history of the Cum
berland coal fields occurred Saturday aft
ernoon when an explosion took place in
the east slope of the Spring Hill mines,
resulting in large loss of life. Many of the
bodies were terribly mutilated and it is
known that 113 persons lost their lives,
and some families are mourning the loss
of two or three members. AS soon as the
news went abroad the mouth of the pit
was surrounded by shrieking women and
children, and the scene was .one to stop
ones heart beats. 1t is the greatest dis
aster ever known in this coal field. The
two previous calamities were the explo-
sions at the Ford pit, Itellarton, ten years
ago, when forty-five lives were lost, and
the disaster at the Drummond mine,
Westville, seventeen years ago, when
sixty.five men were killed. The Spring
Hill mine is owned by English and Mon
treal capitalists. 1t employed 1000 men
and had an output of 10000 ton year.

The mine has been completely wrecked.
Choke-damp set in Immediately after the
explosion, and did it's deadly work well.
Rescuing parties were organized, and
brave volunteers were not wanting to 60
down to recover the bodies of the dead
and save those who might be alive. All
night long the work went on, and as
corpse after corpse was brought to the
surface the despairing walls of the be-
reaved rent the heavens. Many of the
dead were almst unacceptable. The
first exploring party found the bodies of
two so badly mutilated that they could
only be taken to the surface in bags. One
body was cut in two across the abdomen,
one arm was missing, the face was a mass
of blackened, burned flesh, and the only
thing to denote that it was human body
was tuft of hair on the back of the
head. The brain was exposed to view, and
presented sickening spectacle
Terribly Afflicted Families.
Jessie Armishaw went down No. slope
Saturday night and found his three sons
and brother piled together in heap in
one corner of the mine. The sight so I'M

surface without his boys. Two sons of

THE SOLEMN JOURNEY BEGUN.
The Funeral March Through the Streets
of the MetropOlis.

The Funeral March Through the Streets
of the Metropolis.
At p. m. Gen. Howard appeared on
the front steps of the house and, followed
by other military chiefs, formed double
line to the curb. AS they took off their
hats the multitude uncovered, and in a
moment the casket, borne on the shout
ders of six soldiers, appeared. Reverent-
ly it was carried to the caisson and
placed in position, the marching order
was given, and an army band over in the
neighborhood of Central park began play
ng funeral march.
Arrival at the Ferry.
When the head of the procession reached
Desbrosses street ferry, few minutes
after o'clock, it found an i'm
mense throng awaiting it. The mounted
police soon opened ranks on each side of
the street. The ferry gates were thrown
open, and the caisson upon which the
body rested was first driven aboard the
boat, escorted by Lafayette post, 40, I'M
der Gen. Viele A few minutes later the
funeral party was aboard, the boat swung
into the stream, and the great funeral, the
last tribute which the metropolis could
pay to favorite son of the republic, was
over.
The Landing at Jersey City.
When the boat with Gen. Sherman's re-
mains and the guard of honor touched the
Pennsylvania ferry station in Jersey City
at $40 p IN. many thousands of people
were in and around the station. Chief of
Police Murphy, with 10 policemen, and
the Fourth regiment of the National
Guard of the State of New Jersey, were
drawn up between the ferry entrance and
the north end of the station, beyond
which out of sight stood the special train.
The military presented arms, the police
their batons, colors were lowered, the
Fourth regiment drum corps played u
dirge, and church bells tolled as the
funeral caisson passed from the boat to
the train. The people were quiet and re-
spectful.
On the Funeral Train.
The national guard of New Jersey were
represented at the station by guard of
honor named by Governor Albeit to ac-
company the remainS through the state.
The funeral train was made up of seven
cars as follows; A composite or "combi-
nation car" in which the remains were
conveyed; the Danville, the Pennsylvania
railroad dining car No. 704; the Pullman
cars Abba and Cado; President Roberts
car No. 100; General Manager Charles
Pugh's car No. $50. The guard of honor
were in the Danville and composite car;
the senate and other committees in Gen
eral Manager Pugh's car; the other cars
were used by the family. The composite
car was festooned heavily with black
drapery. The other cars were less Ella
borately draped. The train left Jersey
City at Gas.

to New York Sun reporter, tive are
subjected to as much pressure rs the
Jews in Russia. Yet no public meet

deal of our land has been taken from
US, our church property has been put
under taxation that it can not bear; our
social institutions are forcibly changed;
the Gentiles infringe upon our rights,
and admission into the Union as State
is refused to us. The consequences will
soon be seen. The old State of Deseret,
or q great part of it, will be deserted by
the people who for forty years have been

SOMETHING ABOUT BLONDES.

An Observing Gotham Conductor Says
They Are Careless About Their Hair.
She was a big, tall blonde, with
square shoulders, narrow waist, pat
ent leather shoes and n swagger air that
would have taken the train along by it
self. She got in the car at Twenty
eighth street, got off at Fourteenth
street, and between the two stations
she picked up four hairpins from the
cross seats of the car and hid them in
her taffy-colored back hair. The big
brakeman in charge of the car said to d
New York Telegram Reporter while he
stood near the platform: did you see
the big blonde pick up the hairpins2
Well. there are 4 great many women
who do that same thing every day, and
there are some Of them that we know
simply because they seem to find pleas
urc in taking odd hairpins and using
them"
Are there so many hairpins to be
found on the elevated cars?" asked the
reporter.
why, their name is LEGION" said
Ned, "and most of them are to be found
either early in the morning or late in
the afternoon. 1t is peculiar how many
of these same hairpins, which are found
all over the car seats, are the gilt ones
used by blondes. 1t is generally sup
posed that there are three brunettes to
one blonde. yet it is u peculiar fact that
we pick up more hairpins for the use of
blondes in the elevated cars than we do
| black ones, and that is the reason that
the lady who just got out of the car
found so many hairpins that she could
use"

Commerce or the Amazon.

According to recent news from Brazil,
says the New York Sun, there are now
sixty steamers plying on the Amazon,
nearly all of them belonging to British
capitalists; and we learn that this COM
mcrcial fleet will be greatly enlarged
before the end of another year through
British enterprise. Many of these steam
ers are of heavy tonnage, and arc more
stanchly built than those that ply on
the Mississippi. They carry on busi-
ness with the towns along the banks
of the Amazon, and some of them tray
erse its main affluents, the Rio Negro
and Rio Madeira, while others go SO far
up toward it's navigable head-watcrs
that there is now a probability of its
soon becoming highway for PeruvianH
bound for Europe. A steamer trip
across the continent from the vicinity
of the Andes mountains to any place at
the embouchure of the Amazon, and a
voyage from thence up the Atlantic
through the West India islands to the
port of New York, might take up two
months of time, but would certainly
give the traveller spectacular panora-
ma that could not be found elsewhere
on the globe.
