HIS HEAD TORN OFF.
Tive Killed by an Explosion in
a Colorado Mine.
EARTHQUAKE IN CALIFORNIA.
A $50, 900 Fire at New Bedford-Three
Children Burned to Death in
WEIGH Town.

OuEAY. COL, March ia terrible ex-
plosion took place in Revenue tunnel,
Mount Sneffels, last night, caused by a
premature blast. Two men were killed
and one wounded.
The news was brought to the city late
last night by a messenger, who came after
physician. From what was learned OF
him during his brief stay, the explosion
was one of the most terrible which ever
occurred in this district. The men were
working in the heart of the tunnel when
the explosion occurred, and rock and dirt
were hurled in all directions.
Grant Robinson, of Howard, Mo-, was
torn to pieces by the shock, his head being
torn Off and his body blackened and
bruised. The name of the other man
killed is unknown. The injured man is
one Burns. There is great excitement at
the mine. The drills are operated by COM
pressed air at high rate of speed, and as
the rock through which the drills are bored
is very hard, by the time the holes are four
feet deep they are very hot. Then fifty
pounds of powder are placed in them, and
1t is thought this was ignited by the heat,
and caused the ex plosion.
The name of the second man killed is
Patrick Maloney. 1t is thought that Pat
Burns will die from his injuries.

METHODS OF FRENCH WRITERS.
Amusing Stories OF Noted Mon in the

1hroes of Literary Creation.
Philadelphia Daily Evening Telegraph
We have recently been treated to
some amusing information concerning
the way in which the great French
authors do, or have done, their work. Vic
tor Hugo, for instance, always wrote
standing at high desk, especially con-
structed for him, throwing off sheet after
sheet as fast as he filed it, till he would be
quite showed up in leaves of foolscap.
He often rose in the middle of the night
TO note down an idea or verse. He got
up for the day usually at O'Clock, and
would devote from six 10 eight hours per

completely in his brain before he put pen

The elder Dumas used to begin work by
taking oil his coat. He would then roll
his shirt sleeves up TO his elbows and
would seat himself at his writing desk,

Meeting at Tacoma Next Sunday-Make-
Up of Two Local Teams.
The interest in amateur baseball in the
Sound country shows no signs of abating,
and the Colts are already taking advan-
tage of the fine spring weather to practice.
On next Sunday at Tacoma the Puget
Sound Amateur League will hold meet
ing to. determine its circuit, draw up a
schedule of games aud make all other
necessary arrangements for the opening
OF the season. The league will undoubt-
eddy be made up of six clubs-0lympia,
Puyallup, Seattle and Tacoma, the four
old members, with the addition
of Centralia. and West Seat
tie. There will also probably be
an application for membership from
Snohomish, which cannot be granted, as
there is no other town to furnish an eighth
club. Moreover an eight-club circuit
would be entirely too large where only one
game week is played.
The first practice game of the season in
Seattle was played yesterday at the fair
grounds between two teams of players,
most of whom will be members of the
Maroons or the West Seattles. The two
clubs promise to be well matched and the
rivalry between them for the local
championship Will be strong. The teams
are both practically made up and will
open the season about as follows:
MISUNDERSTANDING, catcher; Hope and War
ner, pitchers; Mantor, first bsse; Fowler, second
base; Ruby, third base; King, shortstop; Parks,
left field; Considine, center deid; Bagley, right
field.
West seattie-Behrens, catcher; Cofman and
Coombs, pitchers; Van Brocklin, first base;
Lynn. second base; McKeustry. third base;
Gamble. shortstop: oGarr, lett field; Vaughn.
center field Kenny right field; Morris, substi-
tute.
George Mantor will handle the Maroons
and Charlie Vaughn the West Seattles.

He is the smallest professional player in
