The Belknap Injured,

Tug L. A. Belknap, Captain Griffin,
Saturday afternoon, while towing schoon-
er Enos B. Phillips to Bath, parted her
hawser while off Halfway Rock. The
hawser struck the wheel Of the tug, dis
abling her. The schooner Immediately
made sail, and put into Horse Island all
right. The disabled tug hoisted her jib
and by hard work succeeded in reaching
Horse Island. In making the island, the
tug coIlided with the bow of the schoon-
er. The force of the blow took out the
foremost of the schooner, and damaged
the pilot house of the tug very badly, be-
sides smashing her railing and injuring
her smokestack. Captain Griffin was
fortunate in getting out of the trouble
without losing his boat.

An Explosion in Ccol Pit at Aberken-

Loss of Lite-Thc Women and

LONDON Aug. 27.-An explosion,
enormous loss of life, has occurred at
Aberkcnfig. near Bridgend in the Coun.
~ Glamorgan. Wales, One hundred
and forty-one miners are entrapped in
a coal pit, owing to an explosion, which
shattered the galleries by which they
could have made exit, ana nothing is
known as to their fate,
When the explosion took place, a vol.
ume of coal dust arose from the mouth
OF the pit, and this, along with the rum
bling noise, gave notice to the inhabi-
tants that something serious had oc-
Cured. Women and children rushed to
the mouth of the pit, crying and wall
ing for the fathers, husbands and broth
ers below
The scenes at the pits mouth were
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 un-
successful, and the indications are that
the explosion may have destroyed every
life in the mine
The managers have called on men
from ncighboring collieries to assist in
the work of rescue. and the most siren
uous eXertions are being made to open
way to the unfortunates below. In
several 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
assembled 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

Nineteen Miners Taken Out Alive.
LONDON, Aug. 29.--All through the
night the explorers in the Parkslip coal
mine at Aberkenfg labored for the
rescue of the imprisoned miners. Crowds
of men, women and children remained
about the pits mouth, eager and sleep
less, waiting for the news of the fate of
the loved ones below.
Women with babes at their breasts re-
fused to go home when urged, and while
the little ones slept in the mothers arms
the mothers watched During the night
there was nothing to raise the hopes of
the watchers, The explorers were driven
more than once to give up their work.
They were met by suffocatng gas.
which made it nearly impossible to
breathe, and some of them narrowly
escaped asphyxiation. Still the thought
of the anxious ones above and of those
who might be living below stimulated
their energies and prevented their
courage from sinking Stupendous
falls in the mines increased the diff
Guilty of the work and retarded prog

As the night wore on and daylight
began to dawn without anything be-
low to encourage hope, many of the
watchers went away. II was noticed
however, that no one Of the wives and
mothers sought rest. They watched on
and beyond the dawn. and at length,
about 10 o'clock Saturday morning, their
patience was rewarded by a joyous
shout from below, 10 miners had been
found alive, and were brought to the
| surface. The men were in a weak and
exhausted condition The scene that
ensued was most pathetic Joyous cries

dren, fathers, sons and brothers recog-

Friends of those who had been saved
fell on their knees and offered up pray
ers of thanks, while others prayed, be-

! ones, too, might be saved. There was
an evident revival Of courage after this
episode. Then, soon after, came sadder
scenes, and about dozen bodies were
brought to the surface.
These were the remains of men who
had evidently not been killed by the gas

Jumpers-GerticC CarmS Dashed to Pieces
at Detroit, Mich.
DETROIT, Mich, Aug. 26.-Gertie Car
mo, the well-known aerial performer
and parachute jumper, met here Thurs
all parachute jumpers.
Gertie has travelled several seasons
with circuses as trapese performer,
and last season travelled with Prof.
Bartholomew, the parachutist, and made
several jumps at the exposition after
the death of John Hogan. who dropped
1000 feet and was killed near the
spot where Miss Carmos life-bl
stained the grass Thursday. She was
under contract with the exposition
management here to make parachute
jump every afternoon during the fair.
On Tuesday, the opening day, she made
two unsuccessful attempts to go up.
On the second attempt the balloon col
lapsed on the tower of barn and she
had narrow escape. Wednesday it
rained and she could not make the
ascent, and Thursday a strong wind
was blowing and she was warned not
to undertake the dangerous task. but
she insisted Late in the afternoon
the wind blew still stronger, but the
headstrong woman went on with
her preparations, and at : o'clock
Thursday evening, when it was al
ready becoming dusk. she gave the sig
nal to release the balloon and graspcd
| the trapeac bar as it shot upward 1t
| was only an instant. AS the balloon
arose she swung herself to a sitting po.
sition on the trapcze. The immense
balloon, caught by the strong wind
was whirlcd like feather in the dircc-
| ton of the Exposition buildings The
next moment it shot over the main
tower, and lower portion and the
trapeze striking the electric light
mast. The balloon gave tremendous
lurch away from the mast, and the per-
former was seen clinging to the trape2e
bar. 1t was evident she had been in
jured in the collision with the mast, for
as the balloon again began to ascend
she fell backward off the bar and
| dropped an arrow $50 feet to the
grass p. N front of the exposition
| When the first man reached her she was
still breathing. A thin stream of blood
flowed from her nostrils and stained the
grass. Almost every bone in her body
was broken
