AN AWFUL TRAGEDY
WELSH COAL MINERS KILLED.
burned. Crushed and smothsrsa. But
Seventeen out OF ao7 Men and
Boys Saved.

A terrible explosion occurred in the
Albion colliery at Cilfyndt, Wales, on
the 23rd that caused the death Of
about $50 miners 1t was at first
thought that large number Of those
in the mine would escape but the next
day 1t became apparent that few Of
the 267 in the mine would escape, as
only seventeen had been rescued. A
large number Of bodies are buried be-
meath the earth falls, and 1t has been
found impossible as yet to extricate
them. Those not killed by the explo-
sion or crushed to death by the falling
earth and rock were undoubtedly as
phyxiated by the after damp.
Late Sunday evening the rcscuing
parties had succeeded in rescuins par.
ties had succeeded in extricating l42
bodies.
A telegram from the queen says she
was much shocked and expressed deep
sympathy with the families Of the
dead.

PRESIDENT cARNor STABBED

An italian Assassinasss- Him In tn,
Streets Of LvWa
Prcsident Garnet 5l'ffIfice was as
sassinated on the evening Of the Gath
by an Italian named Santo. The pres
ident was visiting Lyons in connec
tion with the international exhibition
At 9:25 p. m. President Carnoi
started for the theater, where a gals
performance was to be given because
Of his presence in the city. When
half way down the street, which wa.
lined with enthusiastic crowds Of peo
pie, who were loudly cheering, u man
sprang upon the step Of the presi.
dents landau. Before anyone could
interfere the assassin stabbed the
president with knife, and NJ. Carno,
fell backward in his seat. n. Rivaud,
project Of Lyons, who was seated by
President Carnot, Immediately struck
the assassin full blow in the face
and knocked him from the step, thus
preventing him from again stabbing
the president, which it was his evi
dent intention to do.
Instantly cries Of ''Le president EST
assassin were heard on every side,
and the crowd In the vicinity of the
carriage swelled to enormous proper
tions, every member Of it seemingly
intent upon killing the assassin. He
was grasped by dozen hands, and his
life would have then and there paid
the forfeit Of his crime had it no,
been for several sergeants de vile,
who seized him and attempted to
draw him away from his captors. After
hard fight, the police being rein.
forced, succeeded in getting the muir.
dcrer to Jail.
In the meantime the president had
been carried to the prefecture where
ho was attended by physicians. A
careful examination was made Of the
wound, and the doctors declared the
condition Of NJ. Carnot was hopeless.
AT half past twelve o'clock NJ. Carno,
died after having received the sacra.
ment at the hands Of the archbishop.
lie was conscious until the last and re
allied that he was dying.
After NJ Carnot had been taken to
the prefecture it became generally
known that his assassin was an Italian,
and the feeling Of deep indignation
among the crowd found vent in attacks
upon cafes kept by inofIensive native.
Of Italy. All such places in the vicin.
ity Of the Palais do Commerce were to.
tally wrecked by the mob.
After the presidents death an ex.
animation was made which showed tina,
the dagger had entered the liver.
The murderer refused to make any
statement aud no motive is known fol
the crime. lie is young man Of
90. Nine. Carnot aud her daug
started at once from Paris to Lyons.
News Of the murder created big
sensation in Paris, where the president
was very popular. The Chamber Of
Deputies was called to meet on tho
9Th to elect a new president. Just
what the ultimate effect Of the removal
Of President Carnot will be is hard to
predict.

A oAsTARDLy OUTRAGE.

Adjataat General rarsnsy Tarrsd and
Fs3thsrsd At Colorado SPRING..
Adjutant General Tarsney was kid
naped from the Alamo hotel a few
minutes after midnight Saturday morn
ing, by masked men, taken to the
suburbs in hack, and there tarred
and feathered.
General Tarsney had been in the
city for several days attending
the examination Of the arrested Bull
Hill miners. Tarsney, together with
Colonel B. +. Montgomery Of Cripple
Creek, appeared as attorneys for the
miners.
At midnight, the general, having
just gone to his room, was called to
answer summons to the telephone
purporting to come from Cripple Creek.
While at tie telephone two masked
men entered and one Of them ordered
Tarsney to 60 with them. He objected
and they hit him over the head with q
revolver. The clerk was guarded by
another man while Tarsney was forced
out Of doors and put into hack. The
drivers Of the two hacks when they
saw the struggle in the hotel started
to drive away but were forced to re-
main by armed men. The party went
to the foot of Austin bluffs, nearly
three miles from town.
Here. the party found large mum
Der Of men waiting for them. Gen
eral Tarsuey was stripped Of oil his
clothing and coat Of hot tar and
feathers applied to his body, even his
face and neck not escaping. During
all this time he had been abused and
cursed in unmeasured terms. After
helping the general to dress the men
ordered him to go north and never
show himself in III Paso county again.
The men then disappeared. His con-
dition was pitiable in the extreme.
As result Of the severe handling to
which he had been subjected and the
drying Of the tar, he could make but
slow progress. Toward daylight, how
ever, lie reached the hous. Of Andrew
j. Malloy, ranchman, who had been
deputy at Cripple Creek. Mr.. NAL
10y, after giving General Tarsney his
breakfast, hitchcd up and drove him
to Palmer Lake. Here the station
men cleaned the tar from his face. He
was taken to Denver on a special train
in the afternoon.
The greatest apprehension had been
felt by his family and friends, as they
feared that he had been killed. In
dignatiou was expressed by all classes
Of people. The Republican Redemp.
ton League offered reward for the
apprehension Of the criminals. Com
missioner Boynton Of Fl Paso offered to
do all in his power to arrest them, and
messages Of sympathy were received
from all sides. General Tarsney, on
his return home, was well cared for
and on Sunday it appeared that the
results would not prove serious. lie
said that he had no idea as to who the
men were that had SO abused him.
