THREE THOUSAND FEET.

Frightful Accident at the Calumet and
HecIa Mine at Houghton, Mich-Ten
Men Hurled Down the Red Jacket
Shaft Three Thousand Feet by the
Breaking OF the Couplin Pin OF the
HoistIng Cage-Pitfful Scenes Among
the Relatives of the Victims.
HoUGHToN, Mich, May 15.-Ten tim
bermen were dashed to pieces in Red
Jacket perpendicular shaft of the Calu-
met & Hecla mine at noon yesterday.
The miners were coming up in the cage
to dinner, and the engineer hoisted the
cage against the timbers of the shaft
when the coupling pin broke and the
men and cage dashed downward over
5000 feet to the bottom.
The wife of one of the men was at
at the mouth of the shaft with her hus-
bands dinner and saw the car contain
ing him reach the top and then drop
when the rope broke.
Yesterdays accident is the worst
which has ever happened in the Calu-
met & Hecla mine and the excitement
in the city is intense. Thousands OF
people have visited the shaft where the
horror occurred, and many pitiful
scenes have been witnessed there.
Most of the Inflated men had fami-
lies and when the first rumor of the
awful accident spread, wifes and chill
dren fastened to the scene, hoping
that the report had been false, but
finding instead that it was only too
true, and that many of them were
widows or orphans.
None of the bodies have been recov-
cred as yet, as to get to them requires
a trip down another shaft, and then a
walk of considerable distance on one
of the levels. 1t is expected, however,
that all of the bodies will be recovered
early this morning.
There are two men employed in the
mine who are congratulating them
selves on escaping the terrible death
which overlook their comrades.
Twelve men went down into the mine
yesterday morning, but one of them
was taken sick and was sent to the sur
accompanied by another one of the
men.

minutes after having been brought
aboard the steamship. The dead body

death of It's founder, Gen. 5. Z. Armstrong,
which occurred here Thursday. lie had
so recovered from tue attack of paralysis OF
November, 1892, as to DO able to attend to
good deal of the dstail OF the work of the
institute. He spent January In South
Carolina, returning by way of Tuskegee,
and taking an active part in the conference
held there In February. Since his return
to Hampton ho had completed his annual
report, the 25th, a most complete resume of
the york and history of the school, and en-
tered with characteristic energy into the
management of affairs as well as receiving
many of his friends who came to the naval
review on April 26.

end came The funeral was held yesterday,
an escort being in attendance from Fortress
Monroe Tho remains were laid in the
school cemstery, with military honors,
among the races to whose advancement his
life had been given.
Gen. Armstrong was a believer in indus
trial education for the negro, and the sue
csss of his work at Hampton is proof that
his ideas werc wise. For % years the in
stituts has laborod to fit its students to help
themselves. and hundreds OF negroes
throughout the United States trace their
prosperity to its beginning at Hampton.
General Armstrong was a son of a mission
airy to the Sandwich islands, but WAS edu-
Gated in this country, graduating at vii
