and 80 feet into the air. A tongue Of

fully one-third OF the entombed miners
escaped by the ajr-shaft, although many
were MORALLY wounded. The work Of

Those who at first went down the hoist

scene as terribly revolving. Legs, arms
and headless bodies were lying in mass
and scattered ut the bottom of the shaft.

AZ uan named Kitchenbox has been
arrested in Germany aud handed over to
the Russian police on the strenth of his
own confession that he was party TO the
attempted murder of the ear in the rail-
road disaster at Borki, in October, 1888.
The reported confession is to the effect
that Kitchenbox received from the nihilists
an internal machine. This he placed in Il
car next to the dining car used by the
car He made the mistake of placing the
machine in an upright instead of a
horizontal position. Hence the damage
done to the car which contained the car
was not as great as expected. The ex-

and the shock derailed the train, which
was running at the rate Of 65 versts an
hour. The first and second carriages were
