Unsuccessful Efforts TO Reach the Unfor-
of the Calamity-The Indications Are
That the Life of Every Man in the
Mine Has Been Snuffed Out--Sad
Scenes Enacted About the Mouth of
the Pit.
LONDON, Aug ~. - An explosion,
which, it is feared, may be attended by
enormous loss of life, occurred at Aberk-
enfig, near Bridgend, in the county Of
Glamorgan, Wales. One hundred and
forty-one miners are entrapped in coal
pit, owing to an explosion which shat
tered the galleries by which they could
have made exit, and nothing is known
as to their fate.
When the explosion took place a vol
ume Of coal dust arose to the mouth Of
the pit and this, along with the rumbling
noise, gave notice to the inhabitants
that something serious had occurred.
Women and children rushed to the
mouth of the pit, crying and wailing for
the fathers, husbands and brothers be-
low.
The scene at the pits mouth was most
distressing, and efforts were at once
made to reach the entombed miners and
ascertain the extent of the calamity.
These efforts, SO far, have proved I'M
successful, and the indications are that
the explosion may have destroyed every
life in the mine.
The managers have called on men
from neighboring collieries to assist in
the work of rescue, and the most siren
nous exertions are being made to open a
way to the unfortunates below. In sew
eral instances women have gone frantic
over the suspense and some of them
have insisted on taking part in the
work.
Many hundreds of spectators have as
sembled from all directions and work is
at standstill in the vicinity, SO great
and general is the anxiety to ascertain
whether those in the mine are alive or
NOT

to the Dupont, Rand q Nally, and
Hazard Powder companies, blew up
here Thursday afternoon. There were
about 600 kegs of powder in the maya
zines. lightning had been darting
through the skies all forenoon, and at 1
o'clock a bolt struck one magazine,
which exploded, at once wiping the two
others from the face of the earth. The
conclusion was terrific, the earth trem-
bled and men, women and children
rushed to the streets. The shock broke
thousands of windows, and in some in
stances ruined houses a mile distant.
The explosion was heard at Whitesboro,
fifteen miles distant. Cattle grazing
near the magazines were killed and ter
ribly mangled. Every house within a
mile of the magazines was badly dam
aged, and in many of them the inmates
were thrown on the floor and seriously
injured. Half dozen persons received
dangerous wounds from broken glass
and falling timbers. The total loss will
amount to $4,000.

The Opelousas courier., 1892-08-20

Within the last few years there has
been a steady if not very large, flow of
population from the Northwest towards
Louisiana. The Opelousas and Attaka-
pas country, the praries OF Calcasieu are
filling up with sturdy farmers who have
removed from more northern climates
to enjoy the advantages offered in Loni
siana. A mild climate and cheaper, yet
equally fertile lands, have drawn tll0us-
ands OF settlers from the Northwestern
States.
The parish of Calcasieu has risen in
ten years to the front ranks in vaIua-
ton Of property. In 1882 the assessed
value OF all property there was returned
as 81, 991 1885,, the land and improve
ments thereon being pnt down at $780,
600. In 1891 the total assessment bad
increased to $685., 1856, the lands and
improvements to 81 ,398,455.
This is the highest valuation OF any
parish outside of Orleans and nearly
half a million dollars greater than Cad
do. The gain of 900 in q decade
is about 100 per cent. Had the whole
State progressed in the same proportion
the valuation would now be about
$500, 100000.
In 1882 st. Landry parish property,
I6aI anu nod was assessed Tor 3d.
546, $50. The assessment for that parish
and Acadia (Which has been carved ont
of il for 1891 was $5.435, $40, an increase
OF $$1,S68, 700, OF fifty per cent. In the
parish OF Vermilion there has beer an
increase of $773,000, or seventy per
cent.
Thus in these four parishes the prop
erty values have, within this period Of
augmented from $6,682 900
to 1851 ,000-an increase of $685.. 900,
OF nearly ninety per eent.-N. O..
