ly injured and many others suffering
from painful wounds as the result of
terrific explosion of dynamite which oc-
Cured at 1890 o'clock Tuesday morn
ing. A few minutes before that time,
Mr. McWilliams, the proprietor of the
Namakagon hotel, saw flames bursting
from the North Wisconsin Lumber
Company's warehouse. He sounded the
alarm and with others rushed to the
burning building. They had just
reached the front of the warehouse

huge beam, and half the scalp removed
His skull was crushed and the brains
protruded He can not live.
All the others in the vicinity were

were carried into the hotel a few min
utes later. The fire caught from stove
in the office, located in the northwest
end of the long warehouse. A lot of
dynamite was stored near the Office.

neighborhood and did considerable
damage. The list of injured is as fol-

WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.-Private let
fers received from the leaders of the
ationalist party in the Hawaiian is

says that the annexation idea is grow
ing in that country. 1t is said that DIR.

An Explosion of Fire Damp in Pennsyl-
vania Mine Causes the Loss of Ten
Lives-several Men Injured.
WILKEsBARRE, Pa, Nov. 9.-Another
horrible accident has been added to the
long list of mine disasters in the anthra-
cite region. Sunday evening number
of men went down No. shaft of the
Susquehanna Coal Company at Nanti-
of the workings. As the men were going
along the safety lamp of the leader sud-
denly blazed up, and before they could
retreat it exploded. Instantly the mine
was a mass of flames and the poor vic
Tins were enveloped in it. So great
was the force of the explosion that they
were dashed against the walls of the
breasts and not only burned, but some
of them were mangled almost beyond
recognition. Seven men were instant
ly killed and three died soon after be-
ing taken out of the nine.
The force of the explosion was so
great that it was felt above ground
and the inhabitants of the town only
knew too well what had happened. In
an instant the place was n scene of
confusion. Hundreds of people, in
cluding the children, brothers and
sisters of the men in the mine,
rushed to the shaft. The smell
of the fatal after damp that found
its way to the surface only added to
the fever of suspense, and all these
anxious ones could do was to wait
The officials of the mine soon had a
band of brave volunteers together, the
engines were set in motion, and they
were sent into the subterranean cav
erns. They groped their way through
| the darkness and soon came upon
| their fellow-workmen. One by one
| the unfortunate men were tenderly
lifted and carried to the foot of the
shaft and were hoisted to the surface.
| Ambulances were soon on hand and
some of the men were taken to their
homes. Others were taken there on
stretchers. The force of the ex-
plosion had hurled the men against
the walls of the mine as if they
were feathers. Large mine cars that
were standing on the track were
picked up and smashed into splinters,
and fragments of flesh were found
among the wrecked cars. One of the
rescuing party told thrilling story
of the search for the victims.
They almost lost their way in
the darkness, and they felt the
gas and after damp coming upon
them. Some of the number were
growing faint and could go no further
when they providentially found the air
current and were saved from fate as
horrible as those met for whom they
were searching. The explosion was
caused by the men attempting to
| change the air current

Recaptured Convlcts.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov. 7.-Up to
this time LET of the released convicts
have been recaptured and brought to
this city. No one seems to know what
decisive step will be taken, but it is
generally believed that the convicts
will go back into the Coal Creek
valley in few days. under strong mil
itary escort and rebuild the stockades.
The prevalent opinion is that there
will be no resistance to the military
occupying the valley, yet there is de-
'cided feeling of uncertainty as to the
result of the appearance of the soldier,

THE GOVERNMENT WINS.
Illinois, Indiana and Ohio Lose a Suit to
Recover Over S1,15O,OOO.


Recover Over SI,15O,OOO.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1O.-Several state
treasures are not likely to be swelled
by the half million dollars of which for
years they have had hopes. The at
tempt to get the general government
to keep it's promise and compensate for
the 2 per cent fund lost by the states
in the national road project, begun
good many years ago, has failed.
A petition was filed in the
court of claims by Indiana, Ohio and
Illinois to recover this money. The
amount they asked made total of
nearly 81, 10000 Arguments were
heard last spring and Attorney General
of the Prairie state. Nobody seemed
to think that there was much
prospect of successful suit
against the United States, but the
money claimed was worth trying for
by legal process. During the sum-
mer Judge Mutt, who was writing the
decision, sent to the department of
justice for some authorities which sus-
tanned the government. There was
not much surprise, consequently,
when on Monday he handed down
decision dismissing the petition
of the state of Indiana on the
ground that the . per cent fund is not
a trust fund, and also that the claim to
recover is barred by the statute of lin
itations. The petitions of Illinois and
Ohio will likewise be dismissed. An
appeal will be taken to the supreme
court, which may give the final judg-
ment in two or three years.

serving.
CHICAGO. Nov. 1O.-A total eclipse of
the moon is to occur on Sunday even
ing, November Is, visible more or less
to Europe, Asia, Africa, the Atlantic
ocean, North and South America and
the eastern part of the Pacific ocean,
which will be a spectacle well worth OBJ
serving, and one particularly interest
ing to the general public. Over the
western portion of the United States the
eclipse will begin in the afternoon, be-
fore the moon appears above the hori-
zon, and the phenomenon, when
first visible, will be well advanced, the
moon rising immersed in the shadow
of the earth, and appearing dimmed,
as if covered with dark veil.
But as the total phase will be
quite generally visible through
out the country at a convenient
hour in the evening, the eclipse
will occur under favorable conditions
for all to observe the imposing specta-
Gle, and it may be seen to excellent ad-
vantage should the sky be clear and
the weather pleasant. 1t will also be
the privilege of observers to view the
exhibition without any optical assist
ance whatever, and telescope will not
be required, for an eclipse of the moon
may be seen just as well, if not even
better, by the naked eye.
The eclipse will be visible, in various
stages of its progress, over every por-
ton of the Countrywide weather per-
mitting-but more of it will be seen,
and the moon will be higher above the
horizon, the farther the place of obser-
walton is located eastward from the
Pacific coast. For the benefit of those
who would like to observe the eclipse
we give the time of its various phases
which will occur in Chicago, meridian
or local time as follows.

Hundreds of men employed on the rail-

sacking farms and mansions. The
