Three Big Factories Blown to Atoms--
Twenty People Believed to BE Dead in
the Ruins.
LONDON, Nov. 30.--A dispatch has
just been received here from Man
chester stating that terrible accident
has occurred at Blackburn, 30 miles
from Manchester. A. most mysterious
explosion occurred there and three
shops were blown to atoms. Blackburn
contains population OF over 100000
and an extensive business in cotton
goods is done there.
The streets in the vicinity of the ex-
plosion were full of people, when sud-
denly and without moments warning
the earth shook, there was q tremendous
report and the air was filled with flying
bricks and timbers, broken glass and all
manner of debris. The houses which
Were destroyed were in the Blackburn
market, naturally one of the most fire.
quented parts of the town, and the scene
which followed was Understandable.
The people were wild with fear and
ran in terror from the market place.
Many OF these who ran away had been
struck by the flying debris, and with
blood pouring from their wounds they
added to the terror of the people.
The police fastened to the scene, and,
as soon as possible, began to search the
ruins for the dead. 1t is feared that
at least 20 persons have been killed.
The number of injured is not known,
but must be large. AS yet no reason is
known for the disaster, but rigid in
quiry is being made to ascertain the
cause.

The Liberated Prisoners to be Returned
They VIII be Comfortably CHARTERED
and Safely Guarded.
NASHVILLE, TENN, Nov. 30.-"The
convicts shall be returned to the mines
| if it takes every able bodied man in the
state to do it, said Governor Buchanan
last night. The lessees have made de-
mand upon the state for the convicts.
This demand was answered promptly
that when convicts had been captured
they would be returned if supplied with
sufficient guard and proper quarters.
The proper quarters will be built at
once. This will take about two weeks.
The question of the guard required
not little consideration. 1t comes
pretty straight that the present intention
is to provide about so men each for
Briceville and Coal Creek and 100 men
for Oliver Springs. All these will be in
the pay of the lessees. Twenty-Five at
each place, it is thought will be militia
men deputized TO do guard duty. In
regard to this last feature Governor
Buchanan wired to General s. +. Carnes
of Memphis, brigadier- general of the
Tennessee militia, to come to Nashville.
The two were in consultation all the
afternoon. A veil of secrecy was thrown
around the result reached, but it may be
taken as reliable that the plans given
above were not changed. The guard
will not be from the existing companies
of the state. The, men will enlist for the
purpose. About 800 of the 452 released
convicts have been recaptured.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Dec, 1.-Informa-

i'll the houses where the negro miners were
employed.
1t will be remembered that when the
conyictS were turned loose the Cunber-
land Mining Company of Atlanta an
nounced that il would employ free labor
Immediately, and every miner, white or
colored, who could be had, was put to
work.
Things moved along peacefully until
Friday, when the white miners de
termined to run off the negroes. They
attacked their houses, firing hundreds of
shots and gave the negroes notice that if
they did not leave within "a hours all
would be killed. A number of the negroes
fled i'll terror. Others, more bold, called
on the president of the company for pro-
lection. He secured the names of ten of
the leaders of the mob and took out war
rants for their arrest. The men fled to the
mountains, though the officers succeeded
in capturing two.
They postponed their trials and Saturday
the white miners struck BECAUSE their de-
mand that the warrants against the ten
men be dismissed was refused. There are
now no men at work The men whose
names the company have as engaged in the
riot will be prosecuted to the end. The
negroes had marvellous escape from bull
lets which went entirely through their
cabins.

Al RS. LANGTRr WAS DAINTY.
How She Turned Up Her Nose at Pie and
Sandwiches.


A gentleman of veracity relates this
story to me, says w. b. Hawkins, in
the Detroit Free Press. He was going
from Boston to New York by train
which was dine at the metropolis at 7 a.
m, but wrecked freight train delayed
it for nearly five hours about 80 miles
out from Boston. There was no buffet on
the train and, since the law of Connect
cut forbade the sale of anything on Sun
day, the passengers were unable to pro-
cure breakfast. The short stays at the
stations made foraging impracticable,
and appetite soon became the sole topic
of conversation, Finally, at one station,
where stop of two minutes was made,
the gentleman who tells this story man
aged to buy two pies and a number of
sandwiches. With these he set up a
business in one end of the car. He cut
up the pics into eighths and offered
them at $500 slice, payable in prom
Uses. The sandwiches he doled out
watchfully, being careful that nobody
should get more than one.
Mrs. Langtry occupied the state room
and her maid the berth next to it. The
maid had already had her share of the
food when she came to get some for the
madame.

owned the edible earth, ''if the madame

seriously down the aisle.

up her pretty nose, "pie at this time of

"My, my" and the pretty nose tilted
still higher. "Ham sand wichesi Why,

Mrs. Langtry's face was beaming with
joyful anticipation.
"But, madame" continued the hard
hearted restaurateur, 81 have none of
these things with me at the present
moment"
The upshot of 1t was that Mrs. Lang

DRoyE NAILS INTO MS nEAD.
A Religious Fanatic Believed He Was
Called ON to Make "a Sacrifice

vienna, Nov. 2s.-The details of a most
horrible attempt at suicide have been made
public to-day. II is without doubt a case
that never had its parallel in this city, and
the most remarkable feature about it Is
that the would be suicide is at last reports
still living; The doctors are particularly
interested in the case as showing how the
brain may be terribly injured and yet not
cause death.
The case in point is that OF n septugen-
arian, who was admitted to hospital here
to-day. tits said that the man was recently
attacked with religious mania and became
impressed with the idea that he was called
upon to make sacrifice. lie therefore
procured seven nails, each three inches
long and drove them into his skull
When he was taken to the hospital the
blood was pouring from his head and he
presented most dreadful spectacle.
Everything possible was done to relieve
the. terrible agony from which he suffered
and to make his death easy. The hospital
doctors, of course do not entertain the
slightest hope of his recovery.

CHICAGO, Nov. S.-A special from ST.
Mary's, Ohio, says a riot occurred at Crek-
vile, village on the Chicago & Erie r. r.
yesterday. The westbound local was
switching cars on the side tracks at the far
end of which stood caboose in which
were some 20 Italians, against whom the
trainmen had grudge. The engine backed
in ON the siding and collided with the cab
containing the Italians, with terrific force.
The. same trick was perpetrated by the
local crew last week, and bloodshed was
narrowly averted.
The Italians, who are employed on the
road work-train a few weeks, did some
thing which incurred the displeasure of
the local crew. since which time there has
been bad blood between the men. When
the caboose was hunted again yesterday
the Italians were wild. Little did the
Italians think the cowardly trick would
he repeated, and before they were aware
of what was going on they were knocked
into confused heap. Their rage knew
no bounds. The train men, having antici-
pated trouble, had armed themselves with
revolvers, while the Italians had taken a
good supply of clubs and rocks. A pitched
battle ensued and three Italians were per-
haps fatally wounded, while two of the
train men, whose names could not be
ascertained, were dangerously hurt.
