their grief in loud lamentations. The fire
is still burning flercely, but hundreds of
n en- are endeavoring to extinguish the

miners who may be alive.
During the l04 years In which the Kar-
vim mines have been In existence, there
have been many disastrous explosions In
them. The last was In March, 1885, when
los men were killed.
Count Won Larisch personally superin-

men, officials and miners of whom one
overseer. two head miners, one official
and 10 miners were killed by ensuing ex.
plosions.
The men who escaped from the burning
mines state that the explosions originated

serious that the magistrates had TO be
summoned TO order the crowd to disperse.

body Of men be landed to assist the po-
lice. The commander sent an officer
ashore with instructions to signal when

necessary. The marines were then drawn
up ON the ships quarter In full view OF
the crowd on shore. Ultimately, by the
advie OF cool-headed men, the crowd dis
persed.

Manager Smith May Not Be Here al the Next
theatrical Season.

The ending of the season of '93. '9i at
Lothrop's Grand Opera House on Sstur-
day last probably marks the close, for a
considerable time at least, of regular the
atrical performances In Pawtucket. IL Is
not yet definitely decided what will be the
policy pursued hereafter at this popular
place OF amusement, but whateyer may
be done, some changes will take place not
very acceptable to those who have en-
joyed the entertainments here furnished
for few years past Especially is this
true In regard to the departure OF Walter
B. Smith, who has been the local manage er
ever since the house opened. BY his tact
and business ability Mr.. Smith has con-
tributed In great measure to whatever OF
success has come to the house, while, by
his unfsiling courtesy, his genial good
nature and his quickness to see just what
ought to be done, and to do IT, he has won
hosts of friends. They will indeed miss
him, and their warmest regards will go
out to him, and other best wishes for his
success attend him, in whatever place he
may take up his abode. May prosperity
and good fortune be his In as ample
measure as LIE deserves.

Dextor street grounds yesterday after
noon.

struggle was 4 o'clock and when that
hour arrived there we're eight printers In
varlagated uniforms and another young
man wearing straw hat and dark NOUS
tache who had been secured to play short
stop.
Shortly after Capt. Scott OF the pencil
pushers was seen coming up Dexter
street struggling with a valise as large as
a Saratoga trunk and roomy enough to
carry uniforms for both teams as well as q
portion OF the grand stand.
After long and patient waiting five
newspaper men were secured and with the
assistance of shoe horns and safety pins
attired themselves In uniforms.
IL Capt. Scott selected his suit with the
intention OF having something different
from what has ever been seen he succeeded
admirably and has shown himself to be
an artist OF real Oscar Wilde taste.
After repeated conferences OF captains
and players the reporters picked out four
men from the crowd and selected Pitcher
Sugrue as umpire and the game began.

seventh inning II was decided after COM
