A Fearful Disaster I'm the Bamfur.
long Collieries ut Wigan,
Wales.
The Minefs Imprisoned and at Least
Fifty Of Them Have Been
Killed.
Four Persons Killed and Six Seriously
Injured In q Mississippi
Cyclone.

LONDON, Dec. ia fearful explo-
sion has occurred at the Bamfurlong
colliery, at Wigan, and not less than
fifty lives have been lost. The men
went to work as usual in the morning
and after the colliery had been in
spected in the usual way. They had
not been at work long when horrible
explosion shook the earth for a great
distance and cloud of smoke shot up
through the shaft into the air. A mul-
titude Of people rushed toward the
mine, and great excitement prevailed.
1t was soon ascertained that a
large number had perished, and the
wailing and weeping of women and
children made an indescribabls scene.
Steps We're Immediately taken to find
out the full extent Of the disaster and a
crowd of volunteers promptly offered to
explore the pit. 1t is believed that the
explosion was caused by accumulated
coal gas which had escaped the notice
Of the officials charged with the inspec-
tion Of the mine.

until after the family had been taken ill
and it had become thoroughly distrib-
uted in their systems. The persons
who died were little girl OF 4, one of s
and son aged Is. They suffered the
greatest Of agony and turned black
before they died. OF the others, the

want Apaches Removed

Cry OF MEXICO, Dec. 15.--It il
learned from authoritative sources tha,
the Mexican government will present 3
petition to the United States govern.
ment asking that the Apache Indians,
who now occupy a reservation in
Arizona near the Mexican boundary
be removed to a greater distance
from the International border. 1t ii
asserted that the near presence of the
Apaches to Mexican territory necessi.
tates continuous watchfulness on the
part of the Mexican military and civil
authorities to prevent raids from being
made into this republic, and that the
removal OF the warning tribe to reser.
vation situated further in the interior oil
the United States could be accom-.
piished without difficulty.

Trapped n Rlackmailer.

SIoUY Cry, Ia, Dec. l5.-F. G.
Crosby, who, with j. L. Lewis, now in
Jail at Omaha, has been managing The
Sunday Sun fake in Sioux City, was
neatly trapped in his blackmailing
scheme. Several days ago Crosby told
David Hattenback, a well known jew
eler, that damaging matter about him
was ready for publicatation in the Chi
cago Sunday Sun, but would be sup
pressed for $25. Hattenback arranged
conference. Witnesses were concealed
in the room, and the money, which had
been marked, was paid over. A deputy
sheriff waited to arrest Crosby on ths
outside. A mass of evidence has been
prepared for the grand jury, and the
whole gang of Sunday Sun blackmail-
ers will be indicted. One victim has
paid nearly $1,000.

WILMINGTON, Del, Dec. 1.-Two old
women, Purrie and Merrill by name,
who havs been telling fortunes here for

forced.

GUERRERO, Mexico, Dec. 15.-The
government telegraph line which passes
through this place has been repaired,
and for the first time a complete official
report of the bloody battle near San
lgnace has been sent to military head
quarters.
The invasion Of the revolutionists has
produced intense excitement throughout
the Rio Grande border country, both Ga
tho United States and Mexican sides of
the river. The battle took place only
about fifteen miles from this place, and
an order for reinforcements was brought
in by courier while the fight was still in
progress. Major Julian Esquebel,
the commander of the garrison,
left Immediately with q force OF
$50 soldiers, but when they reached the
place they found that the revolutionists
had crossed the river into the United
States, taking with them about twenty
prisoners, forty horses and large
amount Of ammunition and guns.
Outnumbered -Four to One.
The Mexican soldiers fought nobly.
They were only forty-five in number,
but they held their ground and con-
tinued to fight AZ long as there was any
chance OF defeating their opponents.
Captain Seegar was in command of the
government troops and led charge after
charge against the opposing forces,
which numbered fully 400, but he was
outnumbered and was himself killed by
q pistol shot from the leader OF the revo-
lutionists, who is thought to be Pru-
dencia Gonzales, who was formerly q
prominent ranch owner in Starr county,

Not an Upstart,

Public men, if they are to be sue
cessful must learn to stiile personal
prediuices. Prince Talleyrand, who
shifted his politics SO skillfully that
he served under several distinct and
contradictory political systems in
France, Learned this lesson very
early,
When NJ. Theirs, who was ofhumble
origin, began to rise in the world,
Talleyrand treated him with great
consideration. This greatly displeas-
ed q high-bred lady of the princes &C.
quaintance.
"What!" she exclaimed; edo you
receive this upstart?"
"Madame," Talleyrand answered,
che is not an upstart. He has got
up!'

He Was Thoughtful and Intelligent
Far Beyond His Years.

Mozart came OF musical stock; and
when eight: summers had played over
him he was a delicate and serious
child, with SO wondrous an addic.
ton for music that his fame had
passed the town gates. AS early as
three years OF age, according to
Blackwood, his love for the harpsi-
chord and violin could not be re.
strained, while at five he had com.
posed a concerto, and q story goes
that he was found one day arguing
with his father that his composition
was veritabe concerto because peo-
pie "must practice it until they could
play it perfectly"
But besides his powers as exscu-
tant when a boy OF 8, and the :act
that he had composed several piano
forte sonatas, there was evidence that
he was no ordinary child in the respect
which his words commanded from his
elders, musical and otherwise All
looked up to him, as it were; many
reverenced, some even worshipped
him. He. was tEou.htful and full OF
intelligence far beyond his years. CAS-
a boy,' wrote his father in after
years, "you were too serious to be
childish. For chidren's games and
amusements you had no leiisht-in
fact, they were distastesUl to YOU"
SO grave, indeed, WAS his tienleunor,
that, to quote his fathers words,
'many people feared you would not
live to grow up such a child might
wei! use the text Next after God
comes papa" as his guiding principle
i'll all thai he did while under the
parental roof.

A Woman'S Paradise,


THE idea spot, III the opinion OF
many OF our American women, is the
Oasis OF Ghardaia, in the Sahara
Desert. There the women have sue
ceeded in emancipating themselves to
a remarkable degree. When they
marry they drew up their own mar
riage contract, and ii the man in any
way breaks it the woman is imme-
diately free and will have no more to
say to him. The Guardians are
Mohanmeiiuns, and by the law OF the
prophet a man may have four wives.
The women, however, do not allow
more than one. ami polygamy is prac-
tically banished. They have also a
peculiar objection to drinking and
smoking, ana in many contracts the
husband is told that if he falls into
the habit OF consuming liquors or
using tobacco'' he will be divorced.

The Premier Had Dlned,

A young shorthand writer was once
Eold to report speech by Sir John
Macdonald. Now it happened that
khe Canadian Premier had come to
Fhe House from dinner party, and
his speech in matter and form was of
a decidedly postprandial character.
EThe youthful reporter, however, could
hot believe it possible that Sir John
Should want editing, and took down
Revery word. His editor, on seeing the
copy, told him it would not do, and
las it was not wanted for the next
Emorning he was advised to 60 and see
ESir John and get him to correct it..
EThe reporter, on being shown in,
found Sir John as usual, exceedingly
Eatfable. Having explained the object
sof his visit, the reporter was desired
Ito read his notes aloud. This he did,
Ewhile Sir John lay on sofa listening
with a face OF extreme solemnity to
sshls own lncoherencies and correcting
gthem as occasion required. When the
#notes were finished the Premier rose,
Slaid his hand on the young mans
sshoulder, and began in the most
SfatheJly OF tones:
81 see exactly what has happened.
Nov, my dear young friend l am an
gold man and You are a young one,
$and you will therefore not mind Is
Sglve you piece OF advice as to the
spractice OF your profession. My ad-
vice IS this: Never attempt to report
IA speech unless you are perfectly sure
gthat you are sober"
q With this Sir John bowed out his
Moments.
