McALLlsrER, L T., Jan. S.-A most
appalling calamity occurred near here
last night. There was an explosion in
Il mine and as a result over 200 men
now lie dead and about forty are fatally
hurt and rs many more badly burned.
At $40 p. m., mine No. II. owned by
the Usage Coal and Mining Company
at Krcbs, four and half miles east OF
here, exploded. AT the time $50 men
were in the shalt waiting for the cage
10 take thcm out, and the foot OF the
shait is ono mass OF dead bodies.
Eighty.ivo men came out by an old
entry and forty-two were saved by the
Shaft, most OF whom arc more or less
burned and bruised, and half will
probably die. This leaves about 223
men yet in the mine and in all proba-
bi!ity 200 are dead. At 7:lO a. M, ten
dead men were brought out and only
one could be recognized, the remains
were so mutilated. Thousands OF
anxious wives and mothers are eagerly
watching each cage as it comes to the
surface, hoping to see their loved ones,
only TO turn away disappointed. The
explosion was caused by firing a shot
when gus was in the mine.

The Capay Valley Land Com
pany is Offering the most fertile
lands in this beautiful valley upo1
terms that enable the purchaser
to pay Cor the land out OF its OWL
product, viz: Interest only for five
years at Fer cent. The only
condition imposed is, that a reas-

The various tracts owned by the

prices varying from $50 to $3.50
per acre. Similar unimproved
land in Vaca Valley has recently
been sold at from $500 to $500

The Capay valley lands are IN

profitable fruit growing; and the

one of the earliest in tie State.
The railroad passes through all
the tracts owned by the Capay

Mr.. Stewart also comes out strong
against English bondholders and silver
spectators, but he felt cutie different on
that subject when the Emma mine was

capitalists are speculating in silver ISen-
ator Stewart and his silver friends each
take their money to London and do the

Cotton is now very low. IL has not been
so low-priced for fifty years. Why not
pass law to have our Government buy
five million dollars worth every month
to keep the price up? There is one thing
our Congress and legislators ought to
know-that a commodity like silver will
so where il finds the best market like
any other commodity. Now, If we pay
more for silver, or make it worth more
than other countries, it will come here to
pay Tor the produce we have TO spare, in
Guiding our gold. More money or free
silver coinage is a delusion, and the
sooner the people understand it the bet

Will not help the common people. Is it
any easier for man to get dollar than
