two terrific explosions was heard here

AS between sixty and eighty men
were down the shaft, the utmost
CONSERVATION prevailed. Doctors were
summoned and relief parties organized.
Enormous crowds surged round the pit
mouths, and the relatives of those who
were known to be at work below made
frantic efforts to pass the police line.

no further, so the engineer in charge
gave orders to ascend to the surface.
Later on seven men were brought to
the mouth of the pit badly injured and
one died. Seventy-four men still re-
main below, and there is no hope for
their lives on account of the great
mass of earth dislodged by the explo-
sion. which has completed buried them.
a. MT has been ascertained that
seventy-fve miners have persisted The
wives, children and relatives of the en-
tombed miners still surround the
mouth of the pit; and the most heart
rending scenes are witnessed as the
bodies of the victims are brought to
the surface.

ANY man who has ever built a house
will agree with the architect who says
that no more than one house in ten is
finished at the time mentioned in the
contract, and probably half the houses
are completed from two months to a
year behind time. IN large buildings
the familiar device is clause in the
contract FORGETTING, on the part of the
builder, fixed sum for each days de-
lay, but when such a clause appears
the contractor allows something for it
in his bid, SO that the choice is pre-
sented of submitting to any delay that
may occur or paying well for prompt

the Influenza, or ia grippe of two

follows. Other cities in the state,

New YORK, Dec THE detective
force of the police department and the
detective force of the press of the citv
are each and all scurrying after an
identification of the dead wretch
who blew himself into pieces
at Russell Sage's office Fri
day last. Identification is he
lieved to have been effected by Capt.
Harry Horne as that of man whom
he had met several times and with
whom he had frequently conversed.
Capt. Horne, who was originally inter
ested in wild west shows. is now a
lecturer in Worth's museum and it was
there he first met the bonn b-thrower in
the latter part of Septem Der. Capt.
Horne said to Inspector Byrnes:
1.-THE dead man came to me with q letter Of
introduction from some one whose name do
not remember and made an engagement to
meet me the following afternoon I
met him and he asked me to 90 on a
lecture tour. One of the features OF the lect
ure was to be proposition that all railroads
carry passengers at the same rate as freight
He said that all the prominent railroad men
Could Sage, Depew and other magnates, would
be invited to attend the lectures<and be con-
WINGED OF the errors of their ways In case
they did not accept the invitations letter
would be sent to them and il they persist.
ed in refusing bombs would be used He
said he was q member OF strong organ
ization to revolutionize matters in the interest
of the poor people. 1t was religious organ
ization and would be the largest in the coun-
try in two years. God was with it and it was
bound to succeed. If any ons of the monopo-
lists refused to do what was right toward the
people he would be killed by some member of
the organization, to be chosen by lot''
Interest in the attempt to kill Rus
sell Sage with dynamite on Friday last
was increased Sunday by the arrest of
W. D. Southworth. It was said that
Southworth had gone to Central Amer
lea, but. he was found by Inspector
Byrnes' men near the city and
taken to police headquarters. South
worth is undoubtedly crank and con-
fessed to Inspector Byrnes that he had
been an inmate of a lunatic asylum.
He was taken to the morgue and shown
the head of the dynamiter, but said he
had never seen it in life. In that par
ticular he contradicted the story of
Horne, who said that the dead man in
troduced Southworth to him. at the
museum two months ago
