LATER,
A Hundred Killed.

SPR1Ns HILL COAL MINES, N. S., Feb.
aS.-An explosion took place in the
west side of the coal mines yesterday
afternoon and the effect of the dis
aster is most acute. Grief is depicted
on every face The work Of recovering
the bodies was pushed forward and the
searching party entered the mine at II
o'clock last night. A number of bodies
we're taken up and to-day the work has
been going on steadily. The dead are
being brought up more rapidly, and it
is expected that most of the dead will
be out of the pits to-day except those
who are buried beneath the falls of
roof. The total number of dead il now
placed at III. Two of those injured
lied last night.
The scene of the explosion was in the
immediate vicinity of No. 6 and bal
ances in the east slope. There the
greatest number of deaths occurred.
This particular part of the mine was
visited by Deputy Inspector of Mines
Madden on Friday forenoon. Madden's
statement declares that he found in two
places fire damp registering from to
2-5 per cent.
Ninety-four bodies had been reccov-

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Feb. 19.-The riv.
ers reached their highest point at 10
o'clock Wednesday morning, when the
gauge showed thirty-one feet ten inch
es. At 10 o'clock p IN. they had fallen
twenty-nine feet. The rain has
ceased at up-river points. A
cold wave has set in. and both
the Monongahela and Allegheny are
falling rapidly up around the head
waters. AS far as known there has
been no loss of life. 1t is estimated
that the experience since Monday will
cost the two cities $780, 900, to say
nothing of the suffering and incon-
venience, and many people claim
that $9,OOo,OOo will be nearer
the correct figures. 1t is claimed
that from $4,000 to $4,000 men
will lose on an average three days from
their labors because of the suspension
of work in the mills. Figuring the
average wages at $3.50 a day, a fair
total would be $4,000 The loss of
business to railroads, the damage to
freight and the cost of repairs it is
thought will reach $4,000.
The big downtown merchants calcu-
late that 100000 will hardly make
good the damage to goods and the cost
of placing all the flooded business es-
tablishments back in the former condi-
ton. This includes the expense of TAX
ing property out and into Easements
again, pumping cellars out, and making
necessary repairs of damages.
1t will probably require 100000 to
make good the mills and manufacture
ing plants that have been submerged.
In dozens of instances machinery has
been badly damaged, stocks destroyed
and buildings considerably wrecked.
The loss to families can only be guessed
at. 1t is conceded on all hands that
fully 1000 homes have been flooded,
some of them badly. The cost of
moving twice in hundreds of instances,
loss and damage to household effects,
epairs to buildings, many of which
nave been considerably wrecked, re-
placing of fences and outbuildings car
ried away, pumping out cellars, ETC.,
will certainly reach S300,O00.
JOHNsTOwN, Pa, Feb. 19.-lt is found
that the foundations of many houses
are undermined and loosened, thus en-
failing great loss. The bones of flood
victim were found at the point Wednes-
day, having been washed up by the
waters. They were taken to the morgue
and then inferred in the unknown"
plot at the cemetery. Street-cars are
running again, and it is expected the
Cambria works will resume to-day.

The Babb1tnE Friend to Whom III. II. II
Told the Baccnrat Story.
LONDON, June 21.-Lady Brooke is re-
garded as one of the most beautiful women
in Great Britain. For aeysrsl yeava s-se hns
been visitor at Marlborough house, and il
is known that she has often accompanied
the princess of Wales when she has made
short trips about London, and has also been
her associate, more or less, at Sandringham
castle, one of the PRINCES country seats.
Exactly ten years ago she left the roof OF
her father, Col. Charles Henry Maynard, a
distinguished officer and heir of Viscount
Maynard. Then she wns twenty years of
agey and was mentioned in the court circu-
lar as Hon. Frances Evelyn Maynard. She
was noted beauty, and many were the
whispers of Mrs. Grundy as to her brilliant
features when she passed the ordeal of pre-
sentation at queen's drawing room.
At this time she had been engaged to the
eldest son of the fourth earl of Warwick,
Francis Richard Charles Guy Greville,
whose title is Lord Brooke. Her atfianced
was eight years her senior, a tall, graceful,
soldierly young fellow, who had graduated
from Christ church, Oxford, with high
honors, and was puShing his way into po-
lltical life with uncommon energy and suc-
cess. He first secured an election to the
house of commons from the county of Som
erset, and later became member for the
city of Colchester, in Essex, which constit-
uenoy he still representa-.
After her marriage, Lady Brooke became
great society favorite Her name was on
every list worth mentioning, and the ar
rival of q son and daughter to bless her
union with Lord Brooke, placed her In the
forefront of happy London mothers.
About the year 1883, Lord Brooke enter
tanned distinguished company at the
the prince of Wales and his sweet-faced
princess were present. The latter took q
decided fancy for Lady Brooke, with the
result as above stated, that she became an
intimate and cherished friend of the royal
lady at Marlborough house.
1t seems also that Lady Brooke secured
favor in the eyes of the prince. At grand
entertainments and events of importance
they met subsequently. and, as now
claimed, cemented a friendship which set
London aristocratic gossips talking, and
may cause them both many unhappy hours
in the near future.

Opinion in Europe Of the Worlds Fair at
Chicago.
PARIS, June 21.-An associated press cors
respondent has made inquiries among Uni
ted States consuls in France concerning the
disposition of manufacturing classes in
their districts towards the Chicago fair.
Consul Williams. at Havre, says there is
much good feeling towards the enterprise,
but it is too early to look for either energy
or apathy. Consul Loomis, at st. Etienne
says the exhibition has not been exploited
in that part Of France. and until it is pressed
strongly upon the attention of the public
in Europe. 81 do not think it can be said
there is any real opinion concerning it.
Consul Williams, at Rouen, says: "At
present manufacturers are absorbed in
on their fabrics in the American market,
and it is too soon to arrive at any conclu-
sion. The consequences of the passage of
their own tariff act are the object Of so,ic-
tude. Until these problems are solved thu y
will not direct their attention to ChicaQ
with longing eyes"
Consul Bennett at Nantes, says: "This
consular district is not at present very en-
thusiastic abut the Chicago exhibition.
They are asking whether it is worth the
trouble and expense; whether il is worth
while to expose their products to foreign
customers so long as the general tendency
is towards high protective tariffs that might
In the future render their commercial rela-
tions difficult or impossible"
Consul Faistield, at Lyons, says: ~ think
there is a fair degree of interest in this city,
Those who now 40 business with the United
States, or such as think there is fair pros
pect of introducing themselves, will make
exhibits.''
Reports from other consuls are much the
same as those given above.
