MIRACULOUS.

A Minors lamp Expicdos In the Under
ground Stables OF the United Coke
Works-NO Fatalities.
A miners lamp exploded In the under
ground stables at the United Coke Works
of G. Fricke & Co, near Mt. Pleasant,
Pa. The explosion set fire TO hay and
feed. The flames spread to all parts OF
the mine. The tipple houses and sew
eral other buildings at the top OF the
shaft were also destroyed. Nearly all OF
the company's property above and below
the shaft was burned. The fire was caused
by Stableman John Skrogs lamp setting
fire to q barrel OF oil which exploded.
The burning oil scattered all about the
stable. Skrogs battled with the flames
but without effect, and barely gained the
top OF the shaft when the flames followed
MIN, setting fire to everything of an In
fiammable nature. There were 120 men
at work In the burning mine. At the
first alarm the entire population OF the
town rushed TO the burning shaft and o
babble of shrieking voices filed the air;
half an hour later hopeful cheer came
from the door of an air shaft short dis
tRnce away that changed the waiIings OF
the almost frantic people into shouts OF
Joy IS they saw their friends crawling out
OF the little hole in the ground to Q place

Assaults q Lady ut Cleveland - Women
Arming to Defend Themselves.
As Miss Mary Billson, daughter OF
prominent citizen Of Cleveland, Ohio, was
passing an alley almost in the heart OF
the city at about dusk, o well-dressed man
sprang out and attempted to drag her
into the dark passage-way. She screamed
for help, after having torn the fellows
hand from her throat, whereupon he
dealt her q terrible blow and left her
lying face downward, In o puddle OF wa
ter. People who were attracted by the
girls cries, saw the fellow running
for dear life, but his start was
so great that he could not be overtaken.
Miss Billson would probably have been
drowned had she been allowed to lie in
the water a minute longer. Assaults
upon unprotected women, as they have
been returning home from work, have
been so frequent of late that there is a
concerted movement on the part of shop
and factory girls to prepare themselves
for making vigorous defense OF their
honor, and it is now quite fashionable
for Cleveland ladies to carry daggers and
other life-destroying implements. The
police seem to be unable to afford any
protection whatever.

==FuFther FnrtienlA. the Loss Of the
49, Shanghai
Further ndvices from China as 10 the
burning Of the steamer Shanghai near
Woo-Hoo, about fifty miles from Nam
king, show that the disaster was much
more serious than at irst imagined. The
earlier advices received stated that the
crew, consisting Of about sixty natives,
together with several European officers,
were supposed to have met death either
in the flames or, subsequently, by
drowning while attempting to es-
cape from the burning vessel. II
now seems that the number OF lives lost
will amount to over two hundred, and
that they all lost their lives by drowning.
A terrible panic, 1t appears, occurred
among the Chinese passengers and crew
as soon as the alarm Of fire was heard,
and the panic increased terribly when
the flames spread beyond the control OF
the terror-strIcken crew. The few
European officers on board the Shanghai
seem To have done their best TO maintain
some kind OF order among the China
men, but without result. The large ma
jority OF those who lost their lives did SO
by jumping overheard in order to escape
from the flames. Others met their
death through the swsmping OF the
clnmsily lowered and oyercrowdcd boats.

BATTLE AT NIGHT.
Kicking Bear Leads an Attack and Is Re-
pulsed.

A special from Camp Near Battle
Creek, s. D., says: The situation here
remains practically unchanged. The
weather Is cold and the river frozen
solid. A company Of Cheyenne scouts IL
encamped at the mouth Of Battle Creek.
Two attemps were made by the hostiles,
who number about eighty, to break into
their camp. The first attack was made
by only few of the Indians, who were
quickly repulsed with loss Of two killed
and several wounded. Three OF the
Cheyenne Indian scouts were wounded,
and it Is thought one is fatally hurt.
The second attack was made after dark
by what was supposed to be the whole
band, who were led by Kicking Bear him
self. vollcy after volley was fred on
both sides. and desultory fire was kept
up for an hour or more. ID is not
known how many Of the hostiles we're
killed, but, judging from the reports OF
one of the scouts, there must have been
several killed, as he says he heard sew
eral shout in the Sioux language that
they were hit. Troops were sent to the
scene at an early hour, andreport every
thing quiet and no hostiles In sight.

Five Men Fatally Burned By Molten
Metal.

Five Men Fatally Burned By Molten
Metal
An explosion occurred at the New
Jersey Steel and Iron Works, at Trenton,
N. J., fatally Injuring five men. large
mass Of molten metal, known as "eln-
der" had been taken from one OF the
furnaces TO undergo the process OF cool
ing. This Is done by dashing buckets OF
water upon It after 1t has been exposed
to the air long enough TO somewhat
abate the white heat at when u
emerges from the furnaces, The
furnace man decides the proper Time
at which to throw the water on, and
men stand In readiness with buckets to
follow hls orders. One Of the helpers,
Michael Fuda, without waiting for the
signal, threw his bucket Of water upon
the s'cinder" almost as soon as II was
taken from the furnace. As the water
struck the huge mass the extensively
heated metal exploded with deafening
report, hurling In all directions large
pieces of iron, some of them weighing
hundreds Of pounds. Michael Fuda and
his four companions, who were standing
around the ''cinder," were thrown TO the
ground covered with horrible wounds
their clothing and flesh burned
and emitting sickning ooor.
Euda, who stood few ieel
nearer to the cinder than the others
had his eyes burned completely out: II
the back OF his neck was burned larg'
hole and several holes was burned In hi
body.
They are all In . critical condition
and the chances Of the recovery OF any 0
them are small, The rail mill, tn
scene of the explosion, presented nor
rible sight. Great chunks OF nesl
dropped from the bones Of the mangle'
and roasted men,. filing the air with
sitting odor, while the surrounding
bore hundreds Of traces of the force o
the flying pieces of metal. The escap'
of the FIVE men from instant death an
others In the mill from injury, is miracu
lous.

Gen. Schofeld believes the Indian
trouble is now about over and the re-
naming Indians that are not now on the
reservation will soon be brought in. He
thinks the speedy end of the difficulty
with so little blood shed is largely due
to the concentration of troops before
actual hostilities were commenced. 1t
is believed the rapid concentration OF
soldiers and the complete hemming in OF
the Indians before they were aware OF
what was Qolng on impressed them with
the overpowering strength OF the Gov
ernment and the futility Of attempting
