Terrible Gas Explosion i'm a Wash
ingtOn Coal Mine.

Seattle, Aug. 24.-Shortly before
noon today fire was noticed by one Of
the drivers in the sixth north level Ct
the Franklin coal mine at Frank.
lin. Notice was given to the miners
working in the different places. Sew
enty men were working in the
sixth level, and of that number
forty fingered at the breast, six where
the fire was, in an attempt to put it
out. Three of those at the burning
breast became frightened and fled,
Those who remained were overcome
and asphyxiated.
All had time to escape, but be-
lieving themselves in perfect safety
they fingered. Smoke oozed out
behind them ard cut off their escape.
All of the bodies were found within
a space of 500 feet. Some were
badly bruised, and one man had his
neck broken, showing that they had
thrown themselves against the posts
and timbers in the gangway in their
desperate efforts to escape. The ma
jority of tn, bodies, however, bore
no marks at all. and death was
doubtless painless.
Volunteers were called for AMI
freely responded. They went below
and in a short time the bodies of
1eir dead comrades commenced to
come TO the surface Women and
children commenced to gather around
the mouth of the pit and scenes OF
grief were terrible. At 3 clock the
last of 81 bodies was recovered and
the people began to quiet down
The victims will all be buried to-
morrow. The origin of the fire is
supposed to have been spontaneous
caused by the refuse and
screening in the bottom of the breast,
ana catching fire. The fire
is spreading tonight to other i,.,nsts,
and it is believed it will not DC ex-
for three months.

an Insignificant Investment compared
with these of some 6t the other Pc

her life insured FOR a large amount,
in behalf of her two little daughters.
following the example of her husband,
whose deGth multched the various
companions in which he was insured
for S5,OOO,Oo0. King Leopold of
Belgium's life is heavily insured, as is
also that of Queen Victoria. The
Queens husband, the late Prince Con-
sort, was insured for close upon
$5,OOO,OOO, the income of which has
been enjoyed by his widow. About
the only sovereign in Europe who is
not insured in the Gar of Russia, the
companies regarding him as too un-
safe a risk on account of the nihiiists.

to connect with Louis Houck's Cape
