This Ladder is Especially for Far

Bricklayers, or in fact anyone using
ladder.
We wish to call your attention to the merits of
the HUGHES C0MBlNA TON LADDER,
of which we are the manufacturers at

It can be converted into an s-l6 or "a foot
Straight Ladder: into Single or Double
Platform Step Ladder, into Self Sup
porting Ladder l6 feet high and a
Scaffold 8 feet high and 8 feet
long. and all these combination
in the shortest possible time
q For painting signs or buildings or decor
alton, trimming shrubbery, or trees and gatht
ering fruit or stacking hay, we are con6den-
this is just the ladder you need.
It is very convenient in case of fire either
in getting on building or escaping from il.
II can be folded up into foot lengths and
kept up stairs. 1t is easily put in shape for
use any one can handle il,
1t is both light and strong and made of the
best material and manner.
Considering the various uses to which it
can be put, it is undoubtedly the cheapest
ladder ever made.
Ii is just as necessary to have convenient
ladder about the house as an az or Ratchet,
you cannot well be without one about house
cleaning time for cleaning windows, WHITE
washing, painting hanging pictures, &c. In
case of fire by having a ladder handy you
can save not only property but not unfrequen-
tly life as well.

Later information received from
the scene of the disaster at st. Etien-
ne shows that while sixty-three col
liers went down into the coal mine
to which I have referred, eighteen
descended into that known as the
Puts de la Pompe, SO that eighty-one
were in the two pits at the time of
the explosion, Four Of the number
were brought up from the Puts de la
Manufacture, and three from the
Puts de la Pompe. All were iniur-
ed, but only one is in such a state as
to cause serious anxiety. Unhappily,
no hope is entertained Of saving any
of the seventy four who are still I'M
foreground. The Project Of the De-
partment and several engineers went
down at half past four, and after
remaining about a quarter of an hour
came up with the announcement
that nothing could be done for the
poor fellows, as the walls were falling
in. Every effort, however, is being
made to reach the corpses, which
probably will be taken up during the
night. The Puts de la Manufacture
is about 600 feet in depth.-Ibid.

AWFUL EXPERIENCE AT SEA.

A Queenstown correspondent tele-
graphs that advices received last night
from San Franc SEQ report the arrival
there of the. British barque Hesper,
from Kobe (Japan). The Captain
stated that on the morning of Oct.
80, when seventy five miles off the
Japanese. coast, a rumbling noise was
heard and Immediately afterwards
the vessel was thrown on her beam
ends. Immense waves came tum-
bling towards the ship and rushed
on deck over the stern, bows and bull
warks. The water was boiling hot
and the crew were compelled to go
into the rigging, wherethey remained
for five hours. During this time
great blasts Of hot sulphurous gas
escaped from the boiling ocean and
almost suffocated the crew. The
scalding water melted the pitch in
the deck seams, and the rolling Of
the vessel was so great hat the
+, main topmast crosstree was pitched
into the sea, and the men momenta-
rily expected the masts to go over the
side. The phenomena disappeared
at the end Of eight hours, but most of
the crew were i'll for several days
after-Daay Telegraph, Z Dec.
A terrible explosion occasioned
by fredamp, occurred shortly after
noon to-day in one of the nipes be-
longing to st. Etienne coal Company.
One of the pits in the neigbourhood
of the arms mandatory vas the
scene of a catastrophe, which
it is feared has resulted in the death
of from sixty to eighty persons.
The exact number of the men who
went to work to-day is not known.
From intelligence received at the
Ministry.of the Interior it is estima-
ted at sixty, but other particulars
now to hand lead to the apprehension
that fully eighty miners may have
been in the pit at the time, and may
have been killed, little or no hope
being. entertained that any Of the
hands have escaped with their lives.
It is needless to say lat the news Oh.
