Collapse of Burned Building.
The most horrible accident that ever
occurred In St. Paul took place shortly af-
ter O'Clock on the 4th, whom tho center
wall Of the west section or the Sheppard
building, recently occupied by Fsrwell,
Osemun & Kirk, fell In, burying the WORK
men beneath the ruins. There were sup.
posed to have been fifteen men beneath the
wall at tho time It fell, and the majority Of
thom were killed or received injuries which
will prove fatal.
The cause Of the wreck was tho wall
which had been undermined by the Hre,
becoming top.heavy from the amount Of
debris removed from the bottom. and fall
ing over from its own weight For some
time 1t has been considered dangerous BY
people who frequented tho place, but the
contractors who examined 1t pronounced
the wall sound and the men continued to
work without fear Of accident The wall
had appeared firm and gave no sign Of
weakening up TO the time of;the fall, whom
1t came down In heap without seconds
warning.
1t was sight never to be forgotten ~
the dead and injured were taken out, some
OF them crushed almost TO pulp. There
were men with all their limbs broken,
faces bruised and crushed out Of all re-
semblance 70 humanity. Others were not
so badly mangled, but had evidently been
instantly killed by the brick falling ON
their heads. OF those who wero wounded
and taken to the hospital, two were able TO
sit up In tho wagon on tho way, and these
are the two who will recover. The greater
number had to be taken on stretchers and
handled very. very carefully. There were
no grosns or cries from the injured a. the
poor fellows were extricated from the
ruins by their fellow workmen. Not one
had retained consciousness. There were
groans and exclamations without number
from the spectators, however.

laudable and charitable enterprise the
ladies Of Denver have decided to hold q
dolls fair in the near future, the proceeds
Of which will be applied to clothe the chill.
dren and help pay current expenses. To
that end some some Of the foremost women
of Americs-leaders Of society-shining
lights of the operatio and drpmatic profess
sions-and others whose nnames are syno-
nous with all humane and generous in the
field Of philanthrophy-have contributed
dolls whose costumes, made by their own
hands, representing those supposed to have
been worn by tho worlds ideal women

Already great preparations have been

Ing Of contrasting colors, they vic with the

COAL MINERS KILLED.
A Terrible Explosion In Mine at
st. EtIenne, France With
Awful Results.

Tho report OF a terrible mining
disaster comes from st. Euenne, In the do
partment Of tho Loire and the center Of
the richest coal fields In Francs. An ex-
plosion Of fre damp occurred at noon on
the 9th, In ono OF tho numerous coal pits
In that region and many Of the workers
were unable 10 escape from the mine.
According 70 the dispatches 90 far re-
ceived sixty men perished In the pit
The explosion occurred In pit belong
Ing TO the st. Etienne colliery. Imme-
distely after the explosion dense volumss
OF smoke Issued from tho mouth Of tho
connecting pit, and In q short time crowds
Of rel latives and friends Of the imprisoned
miners gathered about the entrance Of the
pits and prepared for the work Of rescue.
Fortunately the day was being observed
- fete day and . comparatively small
number Of men were at work In the mine.
II tho accident had happened on an ordi-
nary working day the loss Of life would
have bsen appalling. When the nrst at
tempt was made TO rescue the imprisoned
men the reooverers were driven back
by tho foul fumes that poured forth, aud
for nearly an hour nothing could be done
To extricate the unfortunate men from the
pit
In order to disperse the smoke that
filled the shaft tho cage was lowered and
drawn up rapidly . number Of times, and
at length tho shaft was suiiiciently cleared
TO enable the rescuers 10 descend ana 5e-
gin the work Of exploration. -
~ the very outset tho rescuers en-
couutered serious obstacle, ~ the main
gallery was found 10 have collapsed, thus
preventing access to the Imprisoned men.
After working several hours In relays,
tho party Of rescuers had cleared away .
portion OF tho debris, and few minutes
later thoy came across the bodies Of four
miners. Tho men, although unconscious,
were still alive and were quickly sent 10
the surface, where they qnickly revived,
to the delight Of the bystanders and sor-
rowing wives and families who had col
lected at the pits mouth.
While the rescuers were at work several
doctors and several ambulances had boon
summoned from st. Eticnne and . supply
OF restorstives procured, 90 that the
promptest ass istance night be given TO all
who should be brought from the pit alive.
The speedy revival of the men rescued
gave hopo that others In the pit might bo
saved, and this hope was strengthened
when, short time afterward, another
rescuing party, which had entered the pit,
sent to the surface four more Of the vic
tins, all of whom were quickly restored TO
consciousness.
This party Of roscuers, however, found
that 1t was impossible TO reach the other
Imprisoned men, and there is hardly .
doubt but that all Of tho latter have sue.
cumbcd to the poisonous gas that filled tho
cells Of the mine.
AT midnight 1t was ascertained that 70
miners had perished. The wives. children
and relatives of the entombcd miners stu
surrounded the mouth Of the pit and tho
most heartrending scenes were witnessed
as the bodies of tho victims were brought
10 tho surface.

DROWNED in THE HUDSON
A Large Number of Lives Lost by the
Capsizing Of Barges.

A New York dispatch says: Twelve
brick barges coming down tho Hudson
river were struck by violent wind storm
of Croton point at o'clock Friday and
were capsized. Twenty lives are reported
to have been lost The bodies Of ten have
been recovered at midnight The barges
were In tow Of the Cornell Towing Com.
pany's ship Townsend.
The storm came upon them just a. they
reached the point The river Is very wide
at this place, and high sea was running.
As the tow came around the point the
waves were SO heavy that they begun 70
wash over the steamers side. To save
her from laundering 1t was necessary To
mcnt the tow line was cast of, the barges
began to drive into one another ana bound
ABOUT In the seaway.
As they knocked together some had holes
stove in their sides and sank, aud some
caught, one against another, and carried
over by their heavy deck loads, the wavos
and tho wind turned them bottom upwards.
All this happened in very few minutes.
The crews OF the barges, each barge car
ried ab out five men and boys, who were
down below playing cards or telling stories.
The heavy winds drove everyone from the
deck. No warning seems to have been
given lby the tug boat people when they
hove to. The first thing the men In the
baages know their boats werctsmashing
into each other and sinking. Some had
time 10 rush on deck and jump into the
water. Many must have been caught in
the cabins and carried down,
On all the bargcs there werc st least
fifty people. OF these only thirty have
como ashore.
Tho boats which capsized dropped their
cargoes and kept aHoat 1t may DO tha,
some Of the men tunaccounted for climbed
back and may yet be sa we'd. The men who
swan ashore had u hard struggle for life
in the cold water and high surf.
As soon Is they had landed and told their
story two tugs wsrc dispatched from Hav.
erstrAw after the barges.
