BAY CrTY, Mich, Fob. 3.-Essexyilie
was thrown into quite an excitement
this morning by messenger from
Saginaw Bay, who said that the ice
had cracked and been blown toward
Lake Huron, taking with it about 200
fishermen. From the top OF the light
house with marine glasses > IL was i'm
possible to see anything of the ice,
there being nothing but a vast eXpanse
OF open water. .=.z
A man who went to Bay Shore, three
miles eust OF the river, failed to see
anything of the lee. Later, six of the
lost fisherman escaped at Big Creek,
twelve miles distant, and said that
they believed the others had gone
ashore near Sebewaing. The wind is
blowing from the west. so that tho Ice
foe will land along the east shore OF
the bay, and, unless IL breaks up, the
remaining fishermen will escape.
Tho fishing village was about fifteen
miles northeast of this city and five
miles from land. 1t is estimated that
200 men We're engaged in spearing fish,
and the first reports were to the effect
that all were lost Those acquainted
with the situation say the castaways
will reach shore before the ice passes
outside the Saginaw Bay.

New CASTLE Col, Feb. 3.-What al
most proved to be another mammoth
mine disaster occurred here last even
ing in the Grand River coal and coke
mines. DUST at o'clock, us the day
shift, composed of seyenty-flve miners,
We're about to leave the mine, terrific
explosion occurred, and Immediately
the black smoke came pouring out of
the side of the mountain Men, wo-
men, and children rushed toward the
entrance of the mine, only to be driven
back by the clouds of smoke.
Above the roar OF the escaping gases
the pitiful cries of the imprisoned
miners could be plainly heard. Soon
willing hands brayed the great danger
and started the hoisting machinery,
relieving each other rs fast as their
comrades became exhausted. Soon
seventy.fi1e miners were brought 10
the surfaec, some Of them more dead
than alive, none OF them any too soon,
as the flames Immediately reached the
shaft and came up with such force
that 1t drove everybody away. Explo.
siuns have followed every few hours.
At O'Clock this morning the excite
ment was so great that IL was impossi.
BILE to tell II anyone failed to get out.
1t is thought several have perished.
Had the explosion occurred when the
miners were ct work, not one would
have escaped. The mine has been on
fire several times before in the last ter
years, caused by miners lamps iKniting
gas, which always troubled them, :

HOMER, La, Feb. AT this place, on
Saturday night, a mob battered hole
II n the Jail, and SIX SIX, men went through
desperado. As soon as Link found the
men were after him, he opened fire
with two revolvers. Two OF the six
men were wounded in the arms. II
seems that Waggoner had not been
placed In cell and did his shooting
from the corridor, lodging In different
apartments. In trying to pull open
the door of prisoners cell, the
latter caught the door with one hand
to keep him out, when Waggoner drew
knife and cut off his fingers. The
sheriff says when placed In jail he was
searched and no weapons were found
about him, and 1t is supposed his
friends furnished him with arms.

The debaters were called to order by
the chairman, Mr.. Mack. Now, Mr..
Editor, II this debate progresses as OF
late we mustlhave larger building,
| for IL has brought out both the witty
and the wise and some of the best

the greatest speakers of the neighbor-
hood got so Interested in behalf of the
poor Indian, as he called him, that he
spoke SO long he got to nodding and
bobbing and rs he had to have the
lamp on his desk SO as to read his
manuscript, he put the lamp 'out and

Another speaker got so deeply inter-

so loud and frantic that he scared the
chairman, and almost caused him to
lump out of his chair. He was in
earnest, and every word was coming
from the heart. He drew the attention
! OF the audience SO close that be capped

stake. The decision stood two for the

attendance six beautiful young maids,
and the same number of bachelors,
and the winner is to receive a mug of

Another speaker, who is a phrenolo-
gist, became deeply Interested for the
poor African, and after careful meas

heads, denounced the Indian as pos.
sessing all intellectual traits, and
found all the Deficiencies in the poor
